Last week the Baltimore american and
Herald were stating that Senator German had,
for some reason, lostinAuence with President
Cleveland and his Cabilet, and would not
control any federal patronage. Secretary
Manning on Wednesday appointed Mr. Eugene
Higgins, of Baltimore, chief of the Appoint
ment Division of the Treasury Department,
and straight way the Herald and american
charge it to Senator Germans influence.
The Herald is outraged at the appointment,
and pronounces it notoriously unfit. The
american thinks that the appointment is a
blow at civil service reform, while Democrats
generally will regard the opposition of these
two bitter Republican journals as evidence of
the wisdom of the selection. The San speaks
in complimentary terms of Mr.. Higgins, and
declares him eminently qualified for the place,
The position is clerical one, and, while it is
an important place, there is no patronage at
tached to it.

Secretary Lamar, of the Interior Depart
ment. has directed the Commissioner of the
Land Office to suspend all proceedings rela-
tive to the patenting of lands to the New Or
leans Pacific Railroad Company until further
notice In addition to the lands already
patented to this road by Secretary Teller
(under the backbone" grant,, amounting to
679, 2S7 acres, the Company has lists covering
1886, 706 acres Of land, which under the above
order cannot be patented until the Secretary
takes further action. Secretary Lamar is re-
ported as saying that his reasons for suspend
ing action in the matter was only to obtain an
opportunity to examine fully into the merits
of the Company'a claim. Secretary Teller,
it is said, made haste to patent some Of these
lands before going out of Office, and the SEN
ate, of which he is now member, will inves-.
tigate his conduct in connection herewith.
Senator Van Wycke introduced resolution
to that end, just after Mr.. Teller was sworn
in, very much to the latter's surprise.
When President Cleveland nominated his
Cabinet to the Senate on Thursday of last
week, the name of Hon. Thomas F. Bayard,
for Secretary of State, came up first. Senator
Riddleberger, the Virginia repudiationist and
dynamiter, objected. This caused the matter
to lay over for day, and all of the nominal
tions were laid over Mr. Riddleberger made
a speech against Mr.. Bayard, bis objection
being Bayard's resolution condemning the
murderous acts Of dynamiters in attempting
to blow up the public buildings in London.
To refuse to confirm brother Senator was
never before heard of, but persons seeking
notoriety care nothing for rule, etiquette or
decorum, so Riddleberger objected. Finding
that he stood alone among sensible people in
the country, he remained silent the next day
and the Cabinet was confirmed Had his
brother dynamiters sent him eulogistic resolu-
TONS or laid upon his desk a dynamite bomb
in floral design, he would have been eneour
aged to crate for several days. But even the
dynamiters failed to support him.
There is said to be striking resemblance
between Col. VIM. p. Maulsby, of Westmin-
ster. and Senator VIM NJ. Evarts, of New
York. When in Washington last week, Col.
Maulsby looked in on the inaugural ball.
While there gentleman approached him,
grasped him by the hand and called him Mr..
Evarts. The stranger was informed of his
mistake, but he continued TO grasp the Col
onels hand, and remarked that he looked
enough like Mr.. Evarts to be him. Ex-Sen-
ator James B. Groome was mistaken by some
of tie military for President Cleveland, SO
Marylanders are like unto greatness at least.
Perhaps the difference is mainly the difference
in opportunity. Col. Maulsby is an able
lawyer and was an able and impartial judge,
and never inflicted the American people with
such long and involved sentences as has Sen
ator Evarts; while Ex-senator Groome as
Legislator, Governor and Senator, has a re-
cord that compares fayorably with those of
his predecessors,
