THAT Democratic organ, the st. Louis
Post-Dispatch, will get itself disliked by the
brethren if it is not more cautious. Mr..
Switzler, the Missourian whom Mr.. Manning
has just appointed Chief of the Bureau of Sta
tistics, is pronounced by the Dispatch to be a
'tgood" man, but wholly devoid of the technical
training needed for the position, and too old
to learn. He is too venerable and Unqualified
to be anything but square peg in a round
hole, according to this Missouri paper, which
certainly ought to know There are occasions

TIE SATURDAY JOURNAL.

The Saturday edition Of the Journal for May
Q will contain the first instalment of 'The
Townses,' story Of middle Georgia. by Richard
Malcolm Johnston, author of the celebrated
"Dukesborough Tales" This story will be CON-
pleted in two parts, and is one of the best of
the tales that has made Mr. John
ston famous. Besides this. we will print a
Russian romance by Geo. KEENAN,, of New York,
entitled "Alikhanoff," which is particularly
timely just now. Mrs. May Wright Sewall will
have q second paper on George Eliot, in which
she will discuss the genius of this great writer,
and DIR. A. w. Brayton will give sketch Of
the work Of Prof Coulter at Wabash
College, with general facts as to science-teaching
in the higher schools of Indiana. There will be
other special articles, and the usual features of
Literature, Miscellany and News. which have
made the Saturday Journal great favorite
The edition for tomorrow will be one Of more
than usual interest and value.

SOME commanders Of the Grand Army posts
in New York are working up plan for plant
ing trees, as well as scattering flowers on Dec
grafton Day. The scheme, as suggested, isto
have the Grand Army posts provide trees OF a
suitable age to be planted, in connection with
their ceremonies commemorative Of the buried
soldiers. In cemeteries where trees are few
the annual recurrence of the day will soon
provide them, and where no more are needed
at the graves they may be placed in other
public places particular trees being named,
if desired, in honor Of favorite comrades. The
plan meets with favor and is one which might
well be adopted elsewhere than in New York.

POSTMASTER PEARSON, of New York, would

he is reappointed in the interests of civil

cago, allowed his employees to exercise the
highest privilege and discharge the most sol

removed for Offensive partisanship." The
Pecsknifian can't about civil-service reform in

The regular Democracy threatens to break
off and fall away from the administration
unless little more speed is made in the mat
ter of making vacancies and filing them with
Democrats. Between Democrats and mug
wumps the President is between the devil and
the deep sea-. The few reputable things he
has thus far done have been so like Repub-
lican President would have done that regular
Democrats are Disguised. The breaks he has
made to placate the party that elected him
have been so bad that every decent person is
Disguised The end is not yet.

BECAUSE President Cleveland had agreed to
go on the Gettysburg trip only on condition
that he should not be expected to make any
speeches, his refusal to respond to Governor
Pattison's address of welcome, and to the
calls of the crowds along the way, is referred to
by his admirers as an exhibition of grit It
was more than grit; it was wisdom. With adj
mirable Judgment, Mr.. Cleveland doubtless re-
fected that it were far better that he stand like
stoughton bottle until someone else filled
the awkward breach rather than to venture
on speech which some one would be sure to
compare with the immortal words Of Lincoln,
spoken at Gettysburg on an occasion not dis

of the State can find fault with the
complete and attractive manner in which our

A WASHINGTON special to a Boston paper
states that Mr.. Hay, the First Assistant
Postmaster general, will probably never per-
form the duties Of his Office, as he is supposed
to be in the last stages of consumption. In
the event of his resignation at an early day,
it is thought that a New York man will be
selected as his successor. In view of the fact
that New York has only the Secretary both
assistant secretaries and the Solicitor Of the
Treasury, the Treasurer and assistant Treas
urer, it really seems as if the State should be
recognized by giving it something more from
the Treasury Department. Hungry Demo
Gratis living west of the Alleghenies may COM
plain, but the administration regards that
region as too limited in extent to require
much attention.

SPEAKING without prejudice, and with the
knowledge that there must be Republicans
among the Illinois legislative excursion to
New Orleans we feel that it is an exhibition
of the meanest kind of "dead -headism" and a
reproach upon the State. 1t would be inter
esting to know if they draw pay for the time
they are squandering. If so, their constitu-
ents should make note of it. They have no
more right to pay while absent from their
duties than has any other man in the State Of
Illinois. They are getting good deal of free
advertising, but Of character anything but
desirable

1T has been discovered that the Brewer
Reports properly record the confirmation of
DR.. Partridge as member Of the State Board
of Health, although the fact is said not to APP
pear in the journal of the Senate. This is
the point upon which our great and glorious
Governor appointed DR.. Boots to an
alleged vacancy. The commission DR..
Partridge holds is prima facie EVIL
dence of the regularity of his appointment;
and we apprehend that the failure of legisla-
tive clerk to do his duty will hardly be held to
vitiate the action Of the executive department.

to pull DR.. Boots into Office. 1t is discredita-

TAKING the evidence of Charles McCabe, of
Baltimore, it is evident that Charles McCabe,
of that city, is fool seeking notoriety. On
the occasion Of the Presidents visit to the
battle field at Gettysburg McCabe constituted
himself body guard Of Cleveland, To this
end he bought revolver, and resolved to
keep his eyes open. At every stop of the
train this cheerful idiot would get out pace
up and down the platform, and keep his finger
on the trigger of the weapon, ready to shoot
down any one who might assail the President.
1t is on the word Of this crank that it is
sought to make it appear that an attempt was
made to assassinate the President. This fell
low McCabe would undoubtedly be satisfied
with a consulship almost anywhere. He
should be sent as minister penipotentiary to
the nearest asylum for feeble minded.

will determine whether one corporation can

word patriot in the following passage:
Certainly, when the South can be proud
of Grant as great American we in the North
can be proud of Lee as another of the same

cans, great soldiers and each in his own way,
too was great patriot"

friend of his Master. The ''wayo is the puz-
zle that common sense halts at. 1t is not the
way that friendship usually takes to exhibit
its fidelity. In "his own way" General Lee
may have been "a great patriot" but it was
queer way. 1t is very certain that if Grant
was patriot Lee wasn't The dictionary
upon which the general public depends for its
warrant in the use of the English language
says ga patriot is man who loves
and faithfully serves his country If
Lee and Grant belonged to the same country,
they were not both patriots. That is certain.
If they didn't, what country separate from
Grants did Lee belong tos He was either an
American or foreigner. If he was no for
eigner he was traitor to America. Benedict
arnold could have made just as good an ex-
cuse for his patriotism as the Detroit paper
can make for Lee. He could have claimed
that he was born subject of England, and,
his conscience shifting him for fighting her,
he had
''Unthroned the rude eyes of rebellion,
And welcomed no me again discarded faith!'
Lees apologists and eulogists can say no
more, except that he never fought on both
sides. He was an unselish and magnanimous
rebel, no doubt, but that doesn't make him
patriot. The man that fights his country for
four years needs new language and moral
law to make him patriotic.

In the endeavor to nail halo about the
head of Mr.. Cleveland, Puck blunderingly
tears off whatever of laurel may have found
Judgment there The principal cartoon of
this weeks issue represents a scene from
''Richelieu," with Cleveland as the Cardinal
resisting Baradas Manning in his attempt
on Civil-Service Reform Julie. Manning
is backed by Hendricks, Barnum, Black
burn and Kelly, and bears in his hand
a list of bad appointments. The Presi-
dent is represented as clasping Julie,
labeled "Civil Service" and the words put
into his mouth are a paraphrase Of the thun-
derous defense which ends with the drawing
of the magic circle about the poor hunted
maiden. The list of bad appointments present
ed by Manning contains the names Of Higgins,
Pillsbury, Troup and Chase, all rotten in
records that will not bear investigation. The
catalogue is incomplete; for to it should be
added the names of Meiere and Kelley, to say
nothing of the war record of Phelps and Nc
Lane. If Secretary Manning has made any
mistakes in his recommendations, he has done
so as the Presidents most intimate adviser
his acts are practically those of the President.
The appointment of the men contained in
Puck's list was undoubtedly a scandal
and constituted a burlesque upon the idea of
the administration being so sincerely in favor
of civil-service reform, and Pucks cartoon has
the elements of burlesque of burlesque

house, occupied by the family of James Peadrick
The restless visitant from the spirit world is the
mother of Mrs. Peadrick, and her apparition
has been seen by sister of Mrs. Peadrick and
Peadrick came home and found the household

Peadrick was inclined to ridicule, when,
although the room was lighted, he felt small
blow on his cheek as if hand had struck him.
This certainly must have convinced him that it
was his mother-in-law. But be that as it may,
the ghostly manifestations continue nightly,
and the superstitious are greatly wrought up
