SECRETARY BAYARD.

The effort of fractional part of
the Democratic party-that which has
hoped to control the Federal patron
age-to destroy the usefulness of Mr..
Bayard as Secretary of State, is as con-
temptible as that which would lead
the public to believe that Mr.. Cleve-
land has sold out to the Independent
Republicans. One of the first declar-
ations of The STATESMAN, after it
was known that Mr.. Cleveland was
chosen President, was to the effect
that the Democracy of the United
States owed its success to the indie
pendent Republican move in New
York, and that it would be a
duty of the incoming admin
istration to recognize in some
substantial manner the valuable
services of this powerful agency
in redeeming the country from Repub-
lican misrule, misrnle against
which this very agency Eel elled, which
by balance of power in New York it
certainly defeated. The sentiment
then expressed We have adhered TO,

The UnIyersa1 Microbe

Those wonderful microbes, minutes
final growths, says the Philadelphia
Press, Will be found, after awhile, to
be cause of life and death. 1t was but
a few years ago that they were caught
in the act of starting all fermenta-
tons; then they were discovered as
accompanying, if not caus :
ing, Zymotic diseases. Then
they were credited with
stirring up all nitrification in
the soil, and thus proving themselves
essential to plant growth, and now
Pasteur declares that they are at the
bottom of all digestive processes, and
food without their presence would
not support life. We calmly await
the next development, when the
microscopists are ready to roll up the
curtain and show us something still
more startling

IT'S thought that the bstitution of
Austria for Italy in Mr.. Keiley's case
will not remove from the Senate a
contest over his confirmation. After
his first appointment, Mr.. Kelley was
banqueted by some of his admirers in
Richmond, on which occasion he I'M
dertook to show that he was an en-
tirely fit person to go as Minister to
Rome, Notwithstanding the views he
once held in regard to the present
government of that country. His eff
fort was a rather plausible one, but it
is presumed it did not satisfy the ap-
pointing power, inasmuch as his COM
mission was withdrawn. But, unfortu-
nately for Mr.. Kelley, he only jumped
out of the frying-pan into the fire; for,
In his speech above referred to, he
awaited himself of the opportunity to
say that the government und,r which
he now lives to be founded upon a
gross and bloody violation of public
rights" That W as most uuneces-
sary declaration, but out of the full
ness of the heart the mouth speaketh
conviction; and the senate, represent
ing the dignity OF the American
Union, may teach Mr.. Kriley TO speak
bec,oming a diplomat AMI a politician.

EX-SENATOR HERMAN, of New

Mr.. Cleveland, Notwithstanding re-
ports to the contrary, is extremely
sensitive in this regard, and when
sure that certain line of policy meets
the favor of the public he is greatly
pleased. l explained to him what L
thought was the general sentiment in
regard to his actions, and said that as
far as he had got ne PROFESSIONALLY
had the support of all the thinking
mea of the country. explained to him,
however, that many Democrats did
not feel that the wheels of the new
administration moved rapidly enough.
He smiled and said, 'We must take

explains his whole conduct. A change
of administration as radical as that

Cleburne Chonicle: A certain young
lady last Thursday night while going
to the skating rink, saw, as she
thought, dummy on which clothing
is displayed, and just tor laugh
thought she would pull its nose
not that its nose was red
therefore and ready to pull, but
merely for a laugh. But when
she had given it one severe pull the
dummy raised its arm and she saw
that it was a real live man. It is
hardly necessary to say that she did
not skate any that night. The gen.
tleman says that he doesn't mind hav-
ing his nose pulled, but the idea of
being taken for dummy is dis
couraging.

IT IS often stated that Russia's
financial condition would not permit
her to carry on vigorous war, bat it
does not cost such a nation so much
to carry On war as it does one that has
a valuable credit to protect. A
despotic government can "borrow
of its own subjects and not repay; its
soldiers can live on the country in
which they happen to be; and, if bond
ed obligations accumulate unpleas-
antly at home, they can be quietly
buried out of sight by reputation.
AS for arms and munitions, they have
been largely supplied already by pur-
chases in this country and elsewhere.
The consignment of pistols for the
cavalry and other supplies from the
United States in the past few years
have been much larger than the peo-
pie generally suspect.

LONDON TRUTH says that Prince

Bismarck is simply the puppet
Of his sire, who gets on
well enough when he is dancing to
his piper; but he would come to woe
full grief if he were himself the direc-
