THE NEW YORK APPOINTMENTS.

We have long since ceased to speculate or
be surprised at any of the appointments
made by Mr. Cleveland. In the matter of
filling recently the three important Federal
offices in New York he has evidently fol-
lowed the bent of his own inclinations and
appointed Edward l.. Hedden Collector,
Silas Wright Burt Naval Officer and Hans
S. Beattie Surveyor.
Hedden appears not to have been big
enough in politics to have very sharp fac
tional angles, although he is evidently a
good-sized man in commercial and business
circles, with an undisputed Democrat rec
ord
Burtis an old Republican, but has attcily
voted Democratic, especially for Cleveland
in 1882 and again in 1884, and is admittedly
the front man as civil-service reformer in
the New York Custom House.
Beattie is an active Democratic politician
of the County Democracy school. Tam
many is not visible TO the naked eye in this
distribution, but 1t may have sde-cuts in Q
new deal.
OF course there is great dissatisfaction
about the New York appointments AL
sides wanted to get on top, each side had a
crowd jostling in the general scramble, ant
only three out Of dozen factions and
dozen dozen candidates in each faction, hav,
been successful. The side from which tn,
howl comes, therefore, has the loudest sor
of call in numbers, and dissatisfaction
carries the hour by large majority.

CONSUL JONAS.

1t is a natural pride which induces an
American citizen of foreign birth to aspire
to consular or diplomatic position in his
native land, but when such a citizen has at
any time in his career made himself obnox-
ious to the government to which he lately
owed allegiance he certainly ought TO bear
the fact in mind and govern his ambition
accordingly.
Charles Jonas, of Wisconsin, is an accom-
plished gentleman, who was born in Bo-
hernia, and whose Democratic ideas made
him Objectionable to the Austrian govern
ment both before and after he expatriated
himself As the editor of a widely circu.
lated Bohemian newspaper he has on many
occasions given utterance TO sentiments dis
pleasing TO the Austrian government, and
his paper has more than once been thrown
out of the imperial mails. While there is
nothing in all this at all dscreditable to Mr..
Jonas, the fact that he occupies this attitude
toward the government under which he was
born furnishes the strongest reason imagina.
BILE why he should not be appointed as consul
in that country. The objection which has
been made by Austria to his selection al
Prague will, under the usages of nations, be
fatal to him, and if he remains in the con
sular service it will be at some other station
The fact that Mr.. Jonas has made himself
obnoxious to the ruling powers in Vienna
is the best evidence that he is a man O
brains and of true Democracy. His mis-
take lies in his attempt to crafty his owr
pride or revenge by involving his adopted
country in unnecessary complications.

THE WORLD BOWS no CUSTOM

The periodical discussion about the nude
in art has begun on both sides Of the water
with more than usual earnestness. All the
old arguments and assertions Of past genera
tons on the subject-pro and con-have
been raked up and rehashed.
There are pretentious people in every
country in the civilized world who cannot
discriminate between the nude in art and
the nude IN dirty print. These persons
blush even to think OF the fact that cultured
persons of both sexes delight TO look upon
the works of the old sculptors, although
they represented human forms often with
out even the semblance of drapery. There
is another class that tolerates the nude in
sculpture, but not in painting.
Some say dress is purely matter Of CON
vention, and one writer has gone so far as to
say that there is no reason, beyond custom,
why a lady should show her arms and con-
ceal her feet and ankles. There is a good deal
of abstract truth in this assertion, but the
civilized world bows to custom as Il does
to fate. The better sentiment Is that the
nude can never be vulgar when 1t appears
in true art, whether in sculpture or paint.
ing or engraving. Without art it is not only
Objectionable, but abominable. 1t might be
advisable for those in charge of art galleries

consideration, where they will neither shock

visitors.
Seriously, the human figure is triumph

THE WORTHLESS DOLPHIN.

Secretary Whitney finds himself in an I'M
pleasant predicament as regards the Dol
phin. The vessel is not what Congress or
dered, or what it had right to expect for
the money paid for it; but, owing to loosely
drawn contracts and the acceptance of the
work piece by Chandler's agents, the
whole monstrosity may have to be taken

pie will be compelled to accept the ship in

SUFFRAGE IN GREAT BRITAIN

who decree that these changes be made.
Mr.. Gladstone's bill practically completes
universal suffrage in Great Britain. or

for one reason or another, but it will now
be possible under the laws for almost any
subject OF the crown TO secure the right Of

Mrs. Yseult Dudley, who has been on
trial in New York for her attempt upon
the life of O'Donovan Rosa, was acquitted
on Wednesday on the ground of insanity.
The defense which her counsel had put for
ward for her was that her mind was UNI
sound, and this theory was supported by
the testimony of several physicians as well
as by letters from English institutions in
which the prisoner had been known, but
Mrs. Dudley, with sincerity rare upon such
occasions, told the jury in effect that she did
not wish to shelter herself behind this plea
and that they should either acquit her on
the ground of having done a justifabe act
or convict her as a criminal. The jury,
however, declined to consider her sane, and
acquitted her on the ground that she was
mentally irresponsible.

WOMEN PROTECTED BY LAW

II is gratifying to see that Maryland has
taken most emphatic stand in favor of the
protection Of women from intrusion, abuse
and outrage. Laws recently passed make an
noyance, insult or intrusion on the privacy
OF women punishable by long terms of i'm
prisonment. Wile-beating is punished by
fiogging and imprisonment, and for violence
the death penalty is inflicted The public
has been shocked repeatedly by the fragrant
crimes committed in this State, though they
have not been more numerous than similar
ofenses have been In other States, and an
effort is TO be made to see if severe laws will
have any effect In curbing the evil Within
short time an aristocratic society youth,
who gained entrance TO lady's chamber
unbidden, has been sentenced to serve a
term in the penitentiary, and two wife.
beaters in pretty good standing have, on
conviction, been sentenced to the whipping
post. The Judges who imposed the sen.
fences have received many letters of com.
mendation from prominent people in the
State, and the impression is general that an
important step has been taken in the right
direction.
Such objection as is made to the whipping
post is based on humane grounds, but it is a
humanity which is not in the interest OF
real humanity. No more cowardly or cruel
crime short of actual murder than VIII.
beating can be imagined, and it is om
nently proper that it should be punished
in the only way which il will be likely Ia
preventa repetition of it. Flogging for l.,lt
or other petty offenses many be deemed un
wise or unjust because it is too severe, but
the brute who infiicts pain must be made to
feel pain, or his punishment is inadequate.
