The President and the Senate.


The President since the adjournment of Con-
gress, has created many vacancies in Office and
filled them by appointments, which action he is
required under the Tenure of Office Act to report
to the Senate within thirty days after the meeting
Of the next Congress. We presume that, of course,
he will comply with the law on this point; and
this will bring up the question whether the Sen
ate shall confirm reject these appointments.
The President, being Democrat, has naturally
filled the vacancies by appointing Democratic in
cumbents. The Senate is Republican, and would
undoubtedly have preferred that Republican in
cumbents should remain in Office. It is to be
hoped that there will be no unseemly party COLI
sion between the President and the Senate on this
subject. The President has his official rights, as
we'll as the Senate, under the Constitution of the
United States and the latter should not under
take to embarrass him in the exercise of these
rights. The mere fact that he has removed Re-
publican from office, and put Democrat in his
place. whether expedent or not on his part, is not
of itself sufficient reason for rejecting an ap
pointment. To make it such a reason is to enter
upon purely party struggle with the President,
which, in our Judgment would be undgnifed on
the part of the Senate. Let the appointment in
each case be considered upon its merits, without
reference to the politics of the appointee; and if
it be fitting one in the capacity and character
of the incumbent, the Senate should ratify the
Presidents action and, if not, then it should
iect the action.

THE SLAUGHTER OF GAME.
Mem York Sun.

Ne0 I OrE Sun.
A gratifying statement in the annual report of
the Superintendent of the Yellowstone National
Park is that since midsummer, by keeping strict
patrol day and night he has lessened the enor-
nous slaughter of game that has been carried on
by hide hunters within the Park limits. 1t may
be remembered that some years ago Col. Alexan-
der of the Second Cavalry reported that q body
of 1900 or 1000 elk, corraed in the snow in this
Park, had been hunted down and killed for their
skins alone.
If the hide hunters of the West do not scruple
to invade this national pleasure ground to ply
their vocation, although they are there liable to
arrest and heavy punishment under special laws,
their ravages in regions not so protected may be
imagined. II is believed by those who have made
careful estimates that every winter the hide hun
tiers kill from 1000 to 30, 700 elk, deer, and ante
lope in the Northwest. Already in many of their
old haunts these animals are practically extinct.
It is since the year 1870 this wasteful saugh-
ter has been most excessive. The elk and ante
lope had then been gradually driven by the ad-
vance of civilization toward the Northwestern
States and Territories, and the opening of that
region by railroads allowed cheap and easy
methods of getting the skins to market. Hunt
ing parties, armed with repeating rifles corralled
and slaught whole hords of elk, ana sneir
success brought hundreds of rivals into the bust
ness.
Hide hunting at the West is still more wasteful,
of course, than pot hunting at the East. The
latter at least makes use of the meat for food,
even if, in its greed, it would respect no seasons,
and, unless prevented by law, would exterminate
deer by giving them no chance to multiply. Hide
hunting is even more wanton in its slaughter, and
rejects the carcasses. Hundreds of these may
often be found within score of miles on single
trail. The animal may weigh three hundred
pounds or more but only the skin is taken, while
the rest stays where he fell
The slaughter Of buffaloes for their hides has
been, if possible, still more prodigious A dozen
years ago. when this destruction was at its height,
competent judges among army officers who saw
its effects reckoned it at hundreds of thousands
annually If it has now sunk to tens of thousands,
and in the near future will only be counted by
thousands, this is solely because the bufaloes
have been vastely reduced in numbers by the
hunters, aided by tourists who do not even hunt
for hides, but for the sake of firing with repeat
ers as rapidly as possible into herds.
1t would hardly be imagined that there is
law on the statute books prohibiting the wGsteful
slaughter of animals in the Territories. Such a
law, nevertheless, has existed for fifty years
Perhaps the recent experience of the keepers in
the National Park may suggest how to execute
this neglected law or to replace it with better

State to unite in heartfelt and grateful praise and
thanksgiving for the good things of the past year.
Neither war, pestience nor famine has invaded

vouchsafed to us by Almighty God. In following
the example of our ilustrious and God-fearing
President, as we'll as the custom of years. I, Henry
Lloyd, Governor of the State of Maryland, in
this my proclamation to the people thereof, do set
apart and declare Thursday, the 26th day of the
present month of November, as Day of Thanks
giving, and earnestly advise people not only
truly grateful for mercies past, but with faith
full reliance on Divine Providence for their future
welfare to abstain from all secular pursuits and
apply themselves to services and duties worthy of

@-The total vote of New York polled at the
late election was 100000. The average plurality
of the successful candidates was between 5000 and
6,OOO being only little over half of one per cent
of the total vote. Upon this the Philadelphia
Ne,cs remarks how narrow is the margin of votes
necessary to carry an election one way or the
other. If two per cent. of the stay at-home Re-
pubicans had voted, their candidate would have
been elected. Under such circumstances is it any
wonder that we have "machine pOliticians7" In

lies great peril of Republican institutions.
