Editorial Notes.

The Irish revolutionists and dynamiters held
large meeting at Chickering Hall, New
York, last Sunday. Senator Riddleberger,
who was announced to crate on the occasion,
was conspicuous by his absence, though he
sent short note of regret.
The Secretary of the Navy has decided that
all employees of his Department shall perform
the specified duties for which they are carried
on the pay rolls. 1t appears that it has been
the practice in some cases to detail watchmen
and laborers for the regular performance OF
clerical duties.
The appointment of Mr.. Eugene Higgins as
chief of the appointment division of the Treas
ury Department, which was only temporary
before, was made permanent on Wednesday.
Mr.. Higgins enemies by their ISLANDERS made
no impression on Secretary Manning, to whom
Mr.. Higgins was known before his first ap.
pointment. He has proven himself most
efficient and affable clerk, and is a shrewd,
keen gentleman.
The committee in charge of the Inaugural

MARYLAND has Jared we'll at the hands of
the new Administration. Gov. McLane has
received the French mission; Col. Fred.
Raine has been made Consul-general to Ber-
lin, and A. Leo Knott has been appointed
Second Assistant Postmaster General. The
salary of the first is SIT 800 per year. and the
others will each receive $4,000. These are
excellent appointments, that of Col. Fred.
Raine being recognition of the German
vote of this State, that has been so steadfast
in its adherence to Democratic principles
There will be hundreds of other appoint
ments of various kinds yet to be distributed,
but it will take some motnhs before changes
can be made.
The Buffalo Times hits the nail on the head
on an article which we publish in this issue, I'M
der the caption of "Anti- Humbug Crusade"
There is too much humbug in politics-too
many self-considered purists-too many lofty
theorists-too many kid-glove immaculates.
These people, just as the Times remarks,
never attend primaries or conventions. Such
gatherings are too low and unfit for their
presence. They hold aloof, know nothing of
practical affairs of government, nor of the
wants and demands of the people, but from
their high plane of theory and speculation
undertake to suggest and demand the fulfil
ment of their own notions. They are organ
lied under names of ''Reform Association"
"Civil- Service League &C., and are really
nothing but arbitrary rings. Their impudence
is getting unbearable and they are fast becom-
