President Cleveland, or Secretary Bayard,
has made another serious mistake in appointing
as L. 5. Consul at Nagaski, one ]. L. Meiere
He was Lieutenant of Marines when the war
broke out, but resigned and entered the Con-
federate service. Melere has resided in Wash
mgton since the war ont his appointment is
credited to Colorado. Recently he was dis
gracefully drunk in the lobby of the Ebbitt
House and insulted Commodore TruXton a vet
eran of our navy, and was arrested and lodged
in jail where be remained until the next morn
ing as no one would 60 bail for him. Among
his remarks on this occasion was the following :
Il am proud to be rebel and | don't want
for having fought YOU" Now it is said that
Meiert'> appointment was pressed because of
his relationship by marriage to Admiral B,l-
chanan but this is hardly credible in view of the
facts that Mrs. Meiere, who is daughter of
the late Admiral Buchanan of the Confederate
Navy, has been granted a divorce from her hus-
band, and that Mr. and Mrs. Meiere have not
lived together for a number of years, the fami-
ly OF Mrs. Meere having had no relations with
Meiere on account of the charges alleged in the
bill of divorce. In fact, this newly appointed
Consul seems TO be a bad citizen a bad husband
and a bad man generally. 1t would be interest
ing to know exactly who is responsible for this
and similar appointments. The friends of
Secretary Bayard charge them upon the Presi-
dent and the friends of the latter insist that it
is all the work of the head of the State Depart
change in the Cabinet would appear TO be adj
visible.

The Boston Advertiser is in a state of mind
net. II really begins to look as though our
once esteemed contemporary has been the vic
tim of a confidence game on the part of
bunco steering Democrats. But even so, the
Advertiser is hardly an object of pity. 1t was
old enough to know better; and having made
its bed with baliot-boX suffers. repeaters and
hulldozers, it need not look for sympathy from
is former friends and allies. The Advertiser
truly says that the Democratic party was kept
out of power so long because the people dis
trusted "the sincerity of its professions as re-
form party and it virtually accuses the Demo-
cratic leaders of having carried the last election
under false pretenees. Somewhat in its old vein.
when 1t was staunch and true to Republican
principles are the following words of warning
to the party with which it is now in affiaion !:

The Summer Visitor.

Although save in favored localities the fields
are not yet flushed with green and the buds on
the trees have not nnfolded their leafy banners,
we begin to hear the notes of preparation at the
summer resorts. All up and down the rocky
coast Of Maine and by the inland waters they
are making ready for the annual visits of the
health and pleasure seekers, who this year, I'M
less the season is untoward, are likely to be
more numerous than ever before. The unset
tied condition of Europe has already checked
the annual Nigeria of Americans across the At
lantic and the presence of the cholera in the Old
World, and the dread of its advent in our larger
cities the coming summer, will tend to divert
many to the coast of Maine, which is now wide
ly recognized as a saritsrium as well as celebra-
ted for its scenic attractions. As to the form
err. too much can not be said. A sufferer from
hay-fever, who had travelled far and wide in
quest of some place where he might find relief
from this troublesome maiady, recently testified
in these columns to the good results of sojourn
on our coast; and the victims of chis and few
yer and other malarial diseases, the over-work-
ed and debilitated, will find that one summer
on the Maine coast will give them new health
and strength, to say nothing of novel expert
ences and pleasures. To those who have dwelt
in the tropics or the interior, the rocky coasts,
the foaming breakers, the broad eXpanse of the
undulating ocean, the cool sea breezes and even
the weird fogs, must prove rarely attractive. As
people flee to Florida to escape the snow and
sleet and low temperature of northern winters
so in summer do they come to Maine AS a ref
uge from the heat and dust and enervatng at
mosphere of cities and sections farther south
They come here, too, in increasing numbers
yearly, until Maine is rapidly becoming the
great summer santarium of our country. Nor
are we insensibe to the money value of the
summer visitors, yet court upon their coming
in no niggardly spirit. The money expended
by these sojourner>, is ditiused through all our
branches of business and occupations. The
great summer hotels are ready markets for the
farmer; the fishermen and the boatman share in
the harvest and there is employment for many
who would otherwise be idle or less proftablv
engaged. These facts it is well to bear in mind.
Let us be hospitable because it is right to be so :;
and further, as a matter of business. do not be
too eXacting in the matter of prices.
