The Presidents Surprises.

Practical politicians and partisaus of
every name are astOnished at the acts
of President Cleveland. For some an
accountable reason, to them, the presi
dent thus far has seemed to choose his
advisers and make his appointments
without the slightest reference to
where the men Iived-in short, he
seems To have been looking for .men
and not for locality. Now here are
two prominent places filed by New
England men-the secretary of war
and the English mission-the one taken
from Massachusetts and the other from
Vermont. while Connecticut, the only
state of the six that voted for Mr..
Cleveland, is left out in the cold. AS
We said above, the president looks for
the man he wants and then calls him,
regardless Of locality. Such proceed
iugs are very strange in the eyes of a
partisan but it is a COED way to do
nevertheless.

A Faithful Public Servant.

Every citizen of this state must have
felt patriotic pride in its representa-
ton in the last Congress. Seldom has
any state delegation united more ster
ling character, larger ability, greater
learning and equal legislative eXpe-
rience Its combined influence upon
Congress was ont of all proportion to
its numbers, and to that influence the
representative of this district was a
large contributor. Few members COM
manded So much respect on both sides
of the House The secret of this was
that he was known and read by all as
a faithful public servant of large abil-
ity, sound Judgment and fair-minded-
ness. When we add that he did a
large share of the hard work of the
Judiciary committee, that he was reg
ular and punctual in attending the
House and prompt and untiring in pre-
netting the interests of his constituents,
we only outline his honorable record
throughout Il long public career. The
retirement of such a man from public
life while in the full vi or of all his
powers is a great public loss. Divided
though the people of this district are
in political opinions and personal pref
ereuces, gratitude is due from them
alias Nermenters-tO IA representa-
tive who has ever been true to the best
traditions of the state and long given
them potent voice in the national
councils. To say more might seem
like praise not to say rs much would
be less than Justice to Judge Poland.

Vermont HOnOred.

President Cleveland has nominated
Hon. Edward j. Phelps of Burlington
ior minister to England. The idea that
the president should come to the little
republican state of Vermont for an am
basSador to the court of st. james, the
most honorcd appointment in his gift,
is m eye-opener to the average poll
tician. and demonstrates once more
what has been apparent for some time,
that Mr.. Cleveland picks his man re-
gardless of locality and with n single
eye to fitness.
Edward j. Phelps is a son of the
late United States senator Samuel S.
Phelps OF Middlebury, where tho son
was born about sixty years ago. He
has been leading lawyer at Burling-
ton and New York for many years, has
been president of the American bar
association, professor ut Yale college,
etc Mr.. Phelps is in the highest sense
polished and cultivated gentleman,
4 brilliant orator and one of the most
urhane and graceful presiding officers
which the state has produced. His
notions are decidedly aristocratic.
When in Washington his associates
have mostly been those of gentlemen"
as distinguished from the average New
Highlander, and the same has been true
at the bar association meetings, where
he has picked such men as Bayard of
Maryland, Blackburn of Kentucky,
and other Southern gentlemen for his
intimates. Nevertheless, his appoint
meut is one which will satisfy the
people.
