Responsible for Patten.

diana Legislature, Patten by name, who took
occasion to vilify General Grant the other day, Ia
crank of the first water and therefor is wholly
irresponsible for any of his utterances. For
years he has tried to get into Dan Voorhees,
hees has never consentedto having him around
Patten has apologized for his unseemiy attack
on the dying soldier, and now if he will apollo
gize to John Ca New. editor of the Indianapolis
Journal fer threatening him personal violence,
evepts the real responsibility Of Patterns lunatic
ut.erances would not seem to rest upon Patten,
BUT upon the people who elected the fellow to
the Legislature. Indeed, it appears to be pop
ular weakness al over this continent to promote
cranks to places In which they are afforded OPP
FORTUNES to bring odium upon the public they
are supposed to represent.

A NEW YORK paper estimates that at least
SO, 900 Democrats in that city are more than
willing, yea anxious to succeed Postmaster
Pearson, and that each considers himself fully
equal to the duties of the position. This
calculation does not include Carl Schurz, but
the addition of his name will not materially
alter the total In the campaign the De-
mocracy regarded their German ally as host
in himself, but as candidate he counts only
one, and not much of a one, either.

two hours and half preferred evening ses-
siors to close at 1890 o'clock, at the latest
10 o'clock as the closing hour preferred. No
rink shall be open for skating beyond the
hours mentioned. The object Of this is to
prevent enthusiastic skaters from overexerting
themselves. This rule might well be modified
in the way suggested. Tests of speed beyond
ten miles-fye miles favored as imit--are
prohibited, and there was sentiment favora-
BILE to prohibiting these tests altogether,
while tests OF endurance exceeding three
hours are absolutely forbidden The sale
of liquor is forbidden, and smoking
also, except as confined to the
smokingroom. No money shall be offered by
the proprietor or manager of any rink as a
prize, except in the case of professionals who
may give exhibitions; betting is positively pro-
hibited, and there shall be no skating for pri-
vate wagers. Any person who violates this
rule shall be debarred from attendance upon
the Kinks. All Of these are for good, and
should be enforced by all concerned. if they
care to preserve the popularity of their places.
The wholesale objection to Kinks comes from
those who largely forget how they enjoyed
themselves when young, and do not sufficient

amusement and recreation of some sort
will be INDUCED in; the only regulatable
thing is the scope and character Of the pas
time. It is not denied that some bad things
may happen through associations formed at
Kinks; but those inclined to foolish and crimi-
nal firtations would be pretty sure to find vent
for the inclination had the rollerskate never
been invented. Every precaution should be
taken by relatives and friends of the young
folks, and they should be brought up in way
to never forget their gentility; but that done,
all is done, except to hope for the best Is

OUR NEXT STORY.

Harriet Prescott Spofford is just fifty years
old on the Sd of the coming April The large
part of her life has been spent in the beautiful
and historic valley of the Merrimac, on the
eastern coast of Massachusetts,. For many
years her home has been the romantic island
referred to in Whittier's lines:
Deer Islands rocks and fir trees threw
Their sunset shadows Ger them"
The house is large, old-fashioned farm
house, with immense verandas, from which
are magnificent views up the Merrimac. In
this romantic spot Mrs. Spoford's powerful
and romantic stories and beautiful poems, that
have won her place among the foremost
word painters of the age, were written. Be-
sides the novels, 'Sir Rohan's Ghost and
"Agarian," she has written innumerable short
stories for the Century, Harper's, the Atlantic
and Manhattan. Her stories are strong, pow
erful and vivid, the outcome Of mind engaging
in it's traits and of an artistic mold go finely
formed that it will bear repeated scrutiny.
Decentralization is alike truthful and luxurious.
Her stories, 'The Mount Of Sorrow" re-
and "The Ghostly Lady, published in the
Saturday Journal series last january, show
her at her best in dealing with the more ter
rible phases of nature and life. On Saturday
next we will publish story by her, entitled
GA Handful of Pebbles"

estimation because of the attitude of the man
who assumes to sresk for the county of it's
location. There is neither rhyme nor reason
in Mr. Gordon's course. Already the State
has been belttled by the action taken
toward the State University. and it
must not be followed up. Purdue
University, for instance, in its efforts for the
development of technical education and the
application of scientific methods to the practi-
cal affairs of industrial life, is worthy of, and
should command, the most liberal and enlight.
ened support of the State. 1t is to be hoped
that but few, if any, members of the Legisla-
ture will lend themselves to serious attack
upon institutions that are doing valuable work
and bringing credit to the State throughout
the country.

token of marked executive capacity. In oppo-

The names of the ministers to England
France, Germany and Mexico are suggestive
both of the methods and general purposes of
the President as at present entertained
The nominations are, in the first
place, respectable and creditable, in

ton with the places to which they are ap-
pointed and in the third place, as neces-
sary corollary of the second, they are not
Democratic" as the ''boys' understand it.
The selections made indicate that Mr..
Cleveland, for the present at least, is
moved by his personal predictions
rather than by partisan considerations,
except it may be possible that he thinks to
strengthen the future of his party by killing
it for the present. Mr.. Phelps, of Vermont,
who succeeds James Russell Lowell, is a law
yer of ability and distinction a man Of high
character, and New England Democrat
While he has been candidate for Governor
of his State, Le has never been known
as an ofice-seeker If Mr.. Lowell
must be supplanted, Mr.. Phelps will
do the Nation credit as his
successor. The same can be said of Mr.. Nc
Lane, of Maryland, who goes to France, and
of Mr. Pendleton, who goes to Germany. Of
all of the gentlemen it may also be added,
that they are of blue blood, rich aristocratic;
of the Manhattan Club type Of Democracy;
of that class which pronounce it 'Veela" and
"Aindecoo;' who drink champagne at din
ner, dine off silver, and have funkies at
their backs. Mr.. Bayard has already saturated
the State department with eau de cologne and
the aroma is deepened by these appointments.
The nomination Of Mr.. Pendleton will be gall
feated for reelection as senator, butchered,
slaughtered, with the broad-ax in the hands OF
yelpers for spoils, and the present appoint
ment is as direct and positive personal
Endorsement as the national administers
ton could we'll give. It is strong
center blow at the influence Of the Cincinnati
Enquirer in Ohio politics, and will be apt to
interfere with Mr.. John r. McLean's ambition
to succeed Mr.. Sherman in the United States
Senate Mr.. Pendleton's nomination will, for
this reason, be very satisfactory to Mr.. Thur
man; and, indeed, the entire batch are Of a
kind that will thrill the t'noble old Romans
Of the party, and carry CONSERVATION to the
''kids" and the smart alecks, who believe in
bluster and 'sine work." Altogether, Mr..
Cleveland did neat stroke of business yester-
day; he gave another stab to the Democratic
party, and has called into the public service
a number Of very reputable Democrats.
But it will not be long until there will be
music by the full band.
