PAHTIXAN OFFENSIVENESS.

President elect Cleveland, in a re-
Gently written letter, has indicated as a
class subject to removal from their Of
fetal positions those whom he terms
"oitensive partizans." The definition
of partizan "oftensiveness," however,
may be made broad enough to cover
all Republicans in Office, until the Pres
ident, elect fixes its limits practically
or least by his own act settles Wha1
proportion Of those now holding Office
are to be considered of this class. Ed
itor Dana, of the New York SIN, who
sets himself up as an excellent indie
pendent Democratic authority, thinks
that the majority of the Democrats
want a Democratic administration to be
Democratic through and through, and
they will see with great impotence the
retention in office OF any considerable
number of Republican office-holders.
The Republicans kicked out the Dem
ocrats, good, bad, and indifferent and
the Democrats see no reason why they
should sacrifice themselves for the pur-
pose of keeping Republicans in Office.
Between an unobjectionable Republi-
can in Federal Office and a satisfactory
Democratic applicant for that office.
most Democrats would probably give
the Democrat the place. This is nat
ural, and it is Democratic.
The independent Republicans and
some Democrats, On the other hand,
believe in perpetuity in office, that is
to say, tenure during good behavior,
which is equivalent to tenure during
life, AID in giving the present Repub-
lican ofice-holders who have behaved
themselves the first chance. This is a
strong principle, but the Democratic
party must have greatly changed if it
will accept it without making row.
Perhaps the Democracy will change,
and perhaps the little leaven Of indie
pendent Republicanism will leaven the
whole lump. Mr. Clevcland's task will
then bemucn lighter, and lie may Their
be able to satisfy both the Democrats
and the denli-Democrats.

size up the situation accurately. The
democratic party has learned by long
practice to be patient and recognizes
the fact that just at present Mr.. Cleve
land has no offices to distribute. But
all the same, it is splitting upon it hands

LOOK OUT FOR CHOLERA.

1t may be very seriously questioned
whether the lowrates of immigrant pass
enger travel between this country and
Europe, which now prevail, are any
benefit to this country. These rates
are astonishingly low. Think ola pas
sage from Bremen to Chicago, dist
ance of four thousand miles, costing
only the insignificant sum Of nine dol
lars. Such rates certainly offer to in
dividual immigrants great inducement
to come to this country, and if they con
tinue during the year, we may expect
an unprecedente immigration. Herein
lies the danger Of the introduction Of
cholera in this country. 1t would GER
tainly seem to be good public policy
upon the part of Congress to adopt
some measure of protection against the
introduction of the cholera through the
!. largely increased immigration to this
country, which the low rates of passage
are so well calculated to invite.

The House is to be commended for
its passage of the Senate bill to refer
the French spollation claims to tie
court of claims for examination. These
claims amount to Sc, 2oo,774, and there
is no question as to their justice. They
arose from the seizure of the merchant
vessels of our citizens by the French
during the administrations of Washing
ton and Adams, and they have been
upon the legislative docket for many
years. A number of bills have been
introduced in Congress to provide for
their settlement, and some have passed
one branch and failed of consideration
in the other. Two actually reached the
executive, but were vetoed for some
cause by Presidents Polk and Pierce
The present bill will undoubtedly re-
ceive the approval of the President, as
it was drawn to obviate the objections
raised to its predecessors.

L.. S. SENATOR EVARTS.

1t seems to be generally conceded
that the selection Of Mir. Evarts as l..
S. Senator by the New York Legisla-
turc, will tend more to harmonic the
discomfort Republican elements of that
state than the selection Of any other
man possibly could have done. He is
the man prominently fitted to fl! 50
responsible a position. Conspicuous as
a lawyer in ability, requirement, and
influence, as a citizen pure and incor-
ruptable, he is the best representative
of the best class Of his party. His
election to the United States Senate
ought to please every body except
Democrats. "To Mr.. Evarts," says the
n. Y. .SNu, democrats will always be
opposed, but with a mixture Of reluct-
ant admiration and miseiving they will
recognize in him a foeman worthy OF
their keenest steel. The Democratic
gladiators in the Senate may as well
grid up their loins for it is no ladies'
battle, no mock combat, to which this
forensic Spartacus will presently invite
| them"

make his point regardless of how he
may cause important interests of the
state to suffer.
Haines is one of the best parlia-
mentarians in the state, and hi; deN
terity in this regard has been of great
service to him in the struggle. He
takes the ground that there Is no
such Office known to the constitution
as temporary speaker, and that having
been elected once he cannot be dis
placed simply because members sup
posed they were voting him into a tenn
porary occupancy OF the speakers
chair and a Temporary inyestiture with
the speakers powers. The Democrats
want to put their regular nominee, IT
the chair, but they are afraid to resort
to extreme measures to effect the
change, for they want Haines's vote
badly for their senatorial nominee. Al
together it is a queer state of affair
that would puzzle Philadelphia lawye
TO untangle.

shows that there are points in garden
ing which a college professor and a
doctor of law, divinity, or medicine
can give to plain, practical pan who
has followed the business all his life.
Why would it not have been a good
plan for the professor to have examined
the doctor or the doctor the professor,
with view to the appointment OF one
of them to a vacant position?, The
salary is -, 900 a year, which is quite
equal to the salaries of most college

The "bosom friend" of Mr.. Cleve-
land, Mr.. Dorsheimer, of New York,
is said to have outlined the policy of
the next administration on the tariff in
the running debate Of Saturday in the
House. If Mr.. Cleveland has a bosom
friend, if Mr.. Dorsheimer is that friend,
and if Mr.. Cleveland has confded to
his bosom friend his views ON the tariff,
then there IS no mistaking their free
trade sympathies. While the ''ifs'' are
numerous they are well worthy the con-
sideration of Mr.. Randall and his
wing OF the democracy. As we re-
marked during the debate, only the
free trade side of the democratic party
was heard from. Perhaps Mr.. Waiter
son and his crowd are right in assert
ing that Mr.. Cleveland is a free trader.
We shall very soon know from Mr..
Cleveland himself.
