Since the independent republicans of Pennsyl-

propositions OF the Stalwart5 the latter console
themselves with the conclusion that Il union was
not particularly desirable, anyhow. The stalwart

In the list OF probabilities in connection with
the democratic presidential nomination for 1884
ex-senator Mcdonald, of Indiana, IS now Included.
He has, IN a recent interview, declined 20 discuss
the merits OF possible candidates; on the ground
that his own name.had been suggested. and might
be presented TO the convention. 1t is no secret
that Mr.. Mcdonald was at one time, during the
convention OF 1880, much nearer the nomination
than even Gen. Hancock, and he wOul1 have been
selected in preference TO the latter had 1t no been
for the obstinate refusal of Hendricks and his
friends to assent to it. The democrats, looking 10
Indiana as the state upon which the success or
defeat OF their ticket chiefly depended, believed
they could secure its vote by the nomination OF
Mcdonald, but he refused TO allow the OF his
name unless Hendricks would consent 10 ii, he
having been sent to the convention 10 promote
the interest OF Hendricks. The southern delegates,
combined with many from northern states, were
anxious % vote for Mcdonald because OF his sup

the race The democrats still regard Indiana as
almost initial to their success in the next PTesi-
Dental contest, and as Hendricks Is considered no
longer available Mcdonald is regarded Is the one
Indiana democrat who would have any chance of
election.

With the new law on hOuSe-entering now in force
here 1t is practically within the power of courts
TO very nearly, II not entirely, put stop to the
the judges have to do Is to impose in each case the
extreme penalty provided by the act lately passed
and approved, which is ten years Imprisonment in
one class OF Offences and fifteen years in the other.
Heretofore, the for the great prevalence OF
burglary in Washington was that the laws on the
subject were too lenient; but to this defect was
too frequently aided mistaken and miSappled
mercy on the part OF the judges trying the cases.
And why, In the name OF common sense, should
any lenfency ever be shown to any burglar? His
crime is premetlitated one. 1t is not done in hot
passion, nor is it committed on a sudden imp ulSe
for the purpose OF allaying the pangs OF hunger.
There Is no need OF hOuseureaktng at any time 10
procure the neceSSarieS OF life in this country In
its mdest form 1t is a deliberately planned crime
against the welfare Of society, and one which usu
ally carries with IL both the and the intent
TO commit murder, II thought necessary to escape
arrest or Identification. Til courts therefore,
owe 1t to the community to impose the EXTREMIST
penalty OF the law in every instance coming before
them. Between keeping the convicted burglars
out OF mischief by ten Or fifteen ears confinement
IN prison, and the wholesome moral effect few
sentences OF that kind would have upon those not
yet caught, IL is safe TO say that the fraternity OF
hOuSebTeLker5 would soon give the District wide
berth, AMI turn their attention TO other localities,
where laws are less severe and judges less careful
OF the rights of law-abiding citizens.

The New York Herald of Wednesday had
despatch of considerable length from Lieut..
Danenhower, which is far from coherent or
satisfactory. In regard to the fate of De
Long it affords no illumination, for at Danen-
hower's writing it was only known that De
Long and his party must be in certain bar
rem and uninhabited region between the riv-
ers Lena and Olensk, and it is known that
they were in straits before they entered upon
it. Mr.. Danenhower describes in some de-
tail the course of the crippled Jeanette to
the point where she was abandoned in the ice,
including the discovery of the desolate and
worthless Jeanette, Henrietta and Bennett
islands Danenhower's despatch says
1.-THE general health of the crew during the
II months drift was excellent No scurvy APP
peared. We used distilled water and bear
and seal meat twice a week. No rum was
served out. Divine service was regularly
held. We took plenty of exercise. Every
body hunted. Game was scarce. We got
about 80 bears, $50 seals and six walrus No
fish or whales were seen. The ship was
keeled over and heavily pressed by the ice
most of the time. The result of the drift for
the first five months was 40 miles. The drift
during the last six months was very rapid.
The extremes of temperature were greatest
cold SO below zero, and greatest heat "A
above zero. The first winter the mean tenn
perature was 33 below zero; the second win
ter it was 80 below zero; the first summer
mean temperature was 40 above zero. We
drifted back during the first week of the re.
treat p miles more than we could advance.
The snow was knee deep. We had to go 10
times over the track, seven times with loads.
Lieut.. Chips boat did better than ours
(Melville's), during the afternoon Of Septem-
Der II, the three boats having got clear of
the ice OFF Semnovsky island at noon of that
day. About dusk he was a thousand yards
of our weather quarter, and lowered sail as if
rounding to. We lay to for "a hours under
triangular drag Nothing was seen of Lieut.
Chipps boat at daylight. He could not get
back to the island in a northeast gale. He
was unable to carry his share of provisions.
| observed strong easterly current near the
Lena delta. There were masses of driftwood
between the Siberian islands"

The p residents Policy in Appoint
nRnEa,

A Washington correspondent in a recent
letter remarks that congressman and Office
seekers are beginning to realize that Presi-
dent Arthur meant what he said when he au-
nounced that there would be no removals ex-
cept for cause and no changes except at the
expiration of the term of Office, and the re-
suit has been a visible decrease in the horde
of ofice-seekers who swarm about the White
House. The Presidents course in regard to
the recent contest over the appointment of a
postmaster at Watertown, N. Y, has been an
eye-opener for some of the politicians There
were two candidates, half breed" and a
''stalwart." The former had the support of
the congressman for his district, but it WAS
accepted almost as a matter of course that
the President would appoint the stalwart
Mr.. Skinner Cthe congressman was, there
fore, not little surprised when he found that
his man, the half-breed, was to be appointed
On expressing something of this surprise to
the President, Mr.. Arthur remarked, in sub
stance: "The quarrel of last summer was end
ed when Miller and Lapham were elected to
the Senate. If it is kept up it shall not be
my fault. In my official capacity shall not
ask whether man was a stalwart or a half
breed. l shall be guided in all these local APP
pointments by the recommendation of the
member of Congress. If find that he rec
ommends capable, worthy man, one likely
to prove a good officer and one who is indoors
ed by the leading men, or a sufficient num-
Der of them, of his section, shall appoint
that man. OF course I expect him to be a
member of the Republican party" The Pres
ident went on to tell Mr.. Skinner that he
wished that he could make it understood in
New York that the fact that a man had been
a stalwart would of itself weigh very little in
his favor, or the fact that he had been a half
breed would go for nothing against him. In
Washington it is accepted as a settled fact
that the President will not strengthen fac
ton by widening a breach. He deprecates
quarrels and desires harmony within the par
ty and will do everything ne can to secure it.
