A GOOD LIST.
The Names OF the Men Appointed to Iespon-
sible Foreign Posts.

The Names OF the Men Appointed TO Isespon-
sible Foreign Posts.
John B. Stallo, of Ohio, who has been ap-
pointed to be minister to Italy, is one of the
leading lawyers OF Cincinnati. He is Ger
man by birth, and is one of the most vigor-
Gus of the German free thinkers in the West
He was strong anti-slavery man, and LETT
the Democratic party in 1854 on that issue. In
1872 he drifted back to the Democratic party,
and has since been one of the leading poll
ticians of Ohio. He has not been known as
an active politician, his work for the party
being principally speech making during cam
paigns. Except ON slavery questions, his
sympathies have always been with the Dem
ocratic party. He is about go years of age,
and served on the bench in Ohio tor num-
ber OF years.
VIM. l.. Alden, appointed to be consul
general at Rome, is about 40 years OF age, aud
"a son OF William Alden, formerly principal
of the Albany Normal school. He is a jour
nalist, and is at present a member OF the
editorial staff of the New York Times, on
which he writes the humorous editorials. He
is highly educated gentleman, and speaks
the Italian language fiuently. He has visited
Italy twice, and has written several news
paper and magazine articles ON the religious
end political affairs OF that kingdom, for
which he has received the thanks of both
Victor Emanuel and the Vatican.
Pierce NJ. B. Young, OF Georgia, appointed
consul general az St Petersburg, Is a native
of South Carolina, 40 years old. He gradu-
ated at the Georgia Military Institute in
1857 and was cadet ut West Point, and was

That Question OF Stupidity.

The Philadelphia Times charge of
stupidity against the Democrats in the
legislature, for rejecting the Republican
apportionment, resolves itself into a charge
that the Democrats have some expectation
Of success in their effort to elect the next
governor and a majority in the next House;
or In one If not both of these undertakings.
The Times probably will concede that the
Democracy intend to make this effort lard
1t may perchance concede still further
that, with this intention, it would not be
wholly stupid in them to give public ex-
hibition of some degree Of hope on their
part that they might accomplish what they
proposed to undertake. When it gets thus
far it may advance step further, ,and admit
that to accept bad apportionment
bill now, for the reason that they
can not hope for better one
hereafter, because they are certain
to- be defeated all around in the election,
would have about it a flavor of stupidity
and contradiction. The Times, when it
gets thus far, will find that the charge of
stupidity would be against the Democratic
iegisiators IL they had not rejected the
apportiOnment, and therefore cannot be
against them for rejecting it,
And this is upon its assumption that
the rejected apportionment is a better one
than can be hoped for from the Republi-
cans, II they get the governor and the
legislature. Possibly the Times is right
about this. There is no telling how mean
. Republican governor and legislature can
be. We are inclined TO believe that the re-
jected apportionment expresses somewhere
near the deepest depth of probable Republi-
can malignancy but if there is a deeper, it

Excellent Appolntme ents.

Yesterday was good day for Mr.. Bay
ard. A long list of important appoint
ments to the foreign service was given out,
and it is one that challenges respect. The
embarrassments that seemed to surround
the appointment of minister TO Rome
have been surmounted by taking man
from Ohio, a state which is never back
ward in coming forward and which has not
had much as yet from an administration
that appreciates modesty. Mr.. Stallo is a
man of reputed culture and ability, who
has rendered good party service; he
seems to strike the happy medium
required for the Italian mission
Of not having enough religion TO offend the
Quirinal, and of having recanted his unbe.
lief sufficiently to not be offensive to the
Vatican.
Messrs. Alden and Stoddard are accom-
plished literary men Mr.. Dougherty is
young man of journalistic training and ex
perience, and son of Daniel Dougherty, tn
famous Philadelphia lawyer and Demo
cratic orator. Young Monaghan, who goe
| to Mannheim as consul, is brillian
Irish orator who rendered good service o
the stump in Pennsylvania-the only out
side speaker who came over and helped us
but his appointment rests on the bette
basis of real worth, illustrated by his sci
education from mill hand to the positio
of fine scholar and orator. Gen. p. n
B. Young is one of the foremost men

much more rapidly in America than in Eng
land. Mr.. V. ii. Pearce in paper read at
a recent meeting of the heSociety OF Arts in Lon
don stated that there were probably ninety
thousand arc lamps burning every night in
the United States In Chicago the number
of arc lamps has been doubled in the past
year, more than 1000 now illuminating the
thoroughfares of that city. 1t has been
noticed that since the more general introduc-
tion of tho electric light for street illumina.
tion, police supervision has been lightened
and the number of bold outrages has de.
creased. Electric lighting for the streets was
long time coming, but it seems to have
come to stay. The one thing necessary now
is TO cheaper its cost
