@-The Baltimore papers all speak very high
" of the appointment of Major R. 7. Allison as
deputy postmaster for that city Some moss-back
Democrats are disposed to make fuss because the
Major is not considered altogether orthodox by
them, but we find that business men generally re-
gard the selection as in all respects frstclass and
are highly pleased because Mr.. Veazey selected
him. Major Allison has reputation of which
any man might feel proud, and we believe that
the new postmaster made a very judicious selec-
ton when he chose him for that responsible posi-
ton Mr.. Veazey has made good start. Now
let us see how he follows it up.

l8-With much more than ordinary satisfac-
tion extend our congratulations to the gen tie
men composing the jury which so promptly con
victed Howard Cooper in the City Criminal Court
on Wednesday. By their just and manly action
they have INDICATED the majesty of the law, and
every law-abiding citizen of Baltimore county
feels that he owes thema debt of gratitude
Hereafter they will also feel more kindly inter-
est in Judge Stewart, who is well-known and
visiting upon this wretch the full penalty of the
law for the henious crime of which he was convic
ted. When criminals of all classes are brought to
such swift retribution may hope for better
order of things generally.

in the premises. We learn that other investiga-

If there are unworthy, incompetent or dishonest
officials, it is the duty of the Commissioners to
ferret them out and make them suffer for their
shortcomings. In this good work the people,
irrespective of party, will sustain them. Give us
a clean county government and all the people
will rise up and call you blessed. As we have
said before, we believe the Commissioners are the

GS-Dan Voorhees, says that he appeared once
in lawsuit In which one of the chief witnesses
on the other side was the mother of Senator Booth,
of California. In his free and easy way the Tall
Sycamore asked harassing questions, but not the
slightest sign of attention came from the woman.
Finally he demanded, in his oratorical way,
whether or not he was going to be answered at
all. Then, with smile, she turned to the lawyer
of her friends and asked, with seeming innocence,
"Must really say anything to a man who looks
like that ?" She pointed to Voorhees, and shudder-

@-Some old hide bound Democrats, who never
learn anything from experience, and who seem to
forget that the world moves, pretended to be high
Iy incensed because Major Allison, who has sever
al times kicked over the party traces, has been
appointed deputy postmaster of Baltimore. A
few days ago Senator Germans attention was
called to this evidence Of displeasure the part
of certain backs because of this to them, OBJ
noxious appointment, when he is reported to have
said:
"Mr. Allison was selected because of his superior
business qualifications, and his appointment gives
entire satisfaction to the business community of
Baltimore. In local politics he may have differed
with some gentlemen, but on National issues his
Democracy cannot and has never been questioned.
We are dating this thing from the election of
Cleveland, and not the last century"
Here is some food for reflection for those DEM
ocrats who affect to believe that because member
of their party who may have split his ticket, or
who may have even gone SO far-as in Major Al
iison's ease-as to be candidate in opposition to
the regular nominees of his party, could never
again be received into full fellowship with the
Delect." This-if adhered to-is a step in the
direction of independence in politics that every
fair-minded man will approve. The party collar
does not ft SO closely as it did few years ago.
President Clevelands disposition to act indepen-
IDENTIFY and to snub Would-be bosses is having
good effect.

The deadlock in the Illinois Legislature
was broken on Tuesday by the election of Gen.
John A. Logan to the United States Senate. The
Democrats sprung another Republican candidate,
when they saw they could not elect a man oftheir
own choice, in hope of beating Logan, but the
Republicans stuck by him nobly and gave him
the required majority. This Senatorial fight
commenced early in February last and has been
going on ever since, with varying hopes of sue
cess by both sides. In the beginning the Legis-
lsture was tie on joint BALLOT, the Republicans
having majority Of one in the Senate and the
Democrats of one in the House. The deadlock
was prolonged by the death during the session of
Democratic Senator and two members of the
House, one Republican, and one Democrat. The
latter died April IL, and though his district was
strongly Democratic, the Republicans succeeded
in eIecting his successor, which gave them 1O3
votes, the number required by the constitution,
and enabled them to bring the contest to close.

The Civil-service and the Postoff1ce.

The Washington correspondent of the Baltimore
Sun, in his letter of May 18th, says: "The anxious
ones, who are expecting to get places under Bal
timore's new postmaster, can obtain some infor-
nation of interest to them by consulting the civil
service rules and regulations. 1t is somewhat
doubtful whether Mr.. Veazey will have it in his
power to make more than comparatively mere
handful of new appointments He can make as
many removals as he pleases, bat the vacancies
thus caused would have in most instances to be
filled on the certificate of the civl-service board
after competitive examination. Vice president
Hendricks and the postmaster at Indian
apolis, recently appointed through his influence,
are said to have expected to make clean sweep
in that office, but their establishment and disgust
are represented to have been unbounded on find
ing that although the postmaster could turn every
republican In the office out, ne could only put
some half dozen democrats in. All other apph-
cants would have to stand their chances in COM
petitive examination, where politics do not count.
