OF the prevalent moral obtuseness in

afforded BY a Texas lawyer, who pro.
cured and read in open court a petit
ton, signed by all the county officers
and fifty prominent citizens, asking
for the summary hanging of a leading
and eminently respectable townsman.
The latter's brot in law and father.

every signature proved genuine.

Ar.noted writer at the East has a
worG in behalf of insects that are
universally voted a nuisance. Hesays:
"Flies are the most important, because
most numerous, destroyers of pest
breeding material. When there are
too few of them to thoroughly con-
sumo the myriad and constantly sup
piled forms of dead and decaying or
ganic substance, the surplus pollutes
air, soil ,and water, and invites and
propagates disease" House-keepers
will be glad to know that flies are of
some use in; the economy of nature.

Washington. Since his appointment he
has been absent from the capital great
part of the time and even when here is
not easy of access. He is reputed TO be a
man Of fine business qualifications. All
doubts of his reforming tendencies were
long ago removed by his vigorous action
in the matter of useless Treasury officials
and his recent overhauling and improve
ment OF antiquated accounting methods
show his familiarity with the duties of
his office. Like his New York associate,
Mr.. Manning is one Of the happiest of
men. Successful in his ambition, hand
some to a degree and blessed with a
wealthy bride, TO whom he is devotediy
attached. the Secretary of the Treasury
has rosy-colOred future before him. lie
has that tenacity ofpurpose which is such
marked trait of the President, and when
he has once decided on any matter his
decision is irreVOcable. This was shown
clearly in the retention of Higgins, nor
outstanding the clamors of the Repubii-
can press and even of many Democratic
journals.
The Postmaster General is even less
known at the capital than Mr.. Manning.
HIS name was hardly heard of outside OF
Wisconsin before the National Democrat
ic Convention met last June, but as chair
man of that body he attracted wide notice
by his parliamentary knowledge and elo-
quence. Probably the President had in
view Mr.. Villas eloquence and diplomatic
qualities when he selected the silver
tongUed Wisconsin man for the Post Office
Department. These qualities are needed
in the highest degree To satisfy or at least
pacify the thousands of ofice-seekers who
besiege the Postmaster General. Mr..
Villas and his assistants have been i'm
mersed in work since the inauguration
and he has recently issued orders that all
the clerks must work three hours extra
every night for some weeks. The distinc.
tive character of Mr.. Villas and indeed OF
all the Cabinet is untlacging earnestness,
which, united with high grade of intel
lect and unspotted integrity, is sure to
make President Cleyeland's administra-
ton one of the purest and best in our HIS
tory.
