Premature Explosion,

The action of the county board of
Crawford county in endorsing Judge
Cothren for reelection, is, to say the
least, trile previous; having also a
suspicious odor Of African hidden in
some one of the numerous corners Of
the fence. Whether gratuitous or the
result of skillful manipulation on the
part of loyal henchmen of his honor,
this action is altogether too premature
and shows a serious lack Of good judg-
ment on the part of the operators.
The Prairie du Chen Union comment
ing on this rather remarkable action of
the board pertinently suggests that
probably the majority of those who lent
their names to this quiet electioneering
scheme have had but little opportunity
for forming an opinion of themselves as
to whether the statements of the resolu-
ton were true or false. Certainly it is
rather early in the day to commence a
canvass for denomination and if, as it
would appear to an outsider, the action
of the board was the result of care

edged weakness on the part of the

Brace OF Beauties.


Mrs. Page. of California. and Mrs.
Hazelton, of Wisconsin, two strikinglv
handsome women and intimate friends
of many sessions, occupied the front
seat with Mrs Keifer and her family.
These two brunette beauties, who have
been the subject CT many paragraph
er's praise, were never more worthy of
admiration; and, robed alike in long
sealskin dolmans with borders of sable
the one wearing a gold plush poke and
the other n bonnet of dark olive,
there was again the vexng question
as to which should be awarded the
palm. The friendship of these TWO
ladies is pleasantly offset by that exist
ing between their husbands. and the
two Congressman are wonderful com
rades and colleagues voting, working
dining, and driving together through
the long session.

On the Wrong Track.

There is an evident and studied inten-
ton on the part of those aspiring to the
name of President friends to put in
circulation rumors derogatory to the
official work of each of the retiring
cabinet officers upon their withdrawal
to private life. With McVeagh it took
shape in an endeavor to fasten on him
the responsibility for the failure in the
star route eases by the connection
of numerous dramatic tales brought
forth with all the Accomplishments of
blue lights and cheap thunder. The
same spirit of righteousness is recog-
nized in covert irsinuation now pro-
mulgated by certain class Of papers
owned by the clique, to the effect that
lily such portions Of the correspon-
Gence in the Chilan-Peru imbroelio
have been given as will put the best face
on the matter for the retiring premier
The story was SO outrageously weak
that it barely reached first edition of
retailers leaving contradiction unnec-
essary, but it showed the animus of the
ring a. truly As if it had been more sue
cessful. Exactly what this set of para
sites expect to gain in thus decrying the
ministers of the dead President is hard
to understand. Certainly they cannot
expect to advance themselves in the
good graces of the President. If so.
unless appearances are terribly decep-
tive, they are doomed to swift disap-
poIntmcnt. President Arthur has on
every occasion shown himself to be in
tent on consolidating rather than divid-
ing the party and consequently is little
likely to receive acceptably work that
serves only to intensity the feuds and
anlmosities of the past summer. Times
may have changed but the public mind
has not. The feeling that the party
and not clique mus rule is as strong
to-day as it ever was. The President
has shown himself too Shrewd a poll
tician not to understand this He is nat
urally ambitious to leave behind an adj
ministration that will reflect credit upon
/ his name but in order to do this he must
have the steady support Of the whole
/ party, therefore he will learn wisdom of
discretion andwarn the parasitical band
+ that their efforts must be discontinued.
There IS no danger of further maligning
afterwards. They depend upon the
raritied atmosphere Of power for exist
enee, and hint is as good as a word in
4 their case.

The New Premier.

In the case of the new Secretary of
State it is not the unexpected but the
much talked of that has happened
From the commencement of President
Arthur reign the name of the present
incumbent has been connected by every
cabinet builder with the position of
Secretary of State. The appointment,
however, is not calculated to give any
especial strength to the administration
1t is a descent from a stalwart pine to a
bramble bush and hardly q fair BRAN
BILE bush at that. 1t is perhaps better
for Blaine that it is so. The Stalwart
Americanism which has pervaded this
department for the past eight months
was absolutely refreshing after the inane
dead-alive policy that has guided the
actions of State ministers during pre-
ceding terms. Mr.. Frelinghuysen,
Judging from his record, has more in
common with these latter than with his
immediate predecessor; which, in view
of the numerous complications showing
themselves upon the diplomatic horizon,
is peculiarly unfortunate. From the
promise given by President Arthur in
his first cabinet appointment the public
had reason to expect better choice
Judge Folger, outside of slight leaning
to the dictates of the Eastern moneyed
rings which tends to detract somewhat
from the full measure of confidence that
would otherwise be given him by the
Western states, has proved unexcep-
tionable and will at least leave behind
him the record of a pure administration
in his .l-o, whatever else he may do.
Had the state department been as well
filled, there would have been less disap-
pointment.
