rur stPIS0T1 SCOTCH COLONY.


II is a sad and exasperatiag story Of disap-
nointment. loss and suffering which John Lau-
! rie. one of the Scotch colony at Sarasota Day,
tells OH another page of The TRIBUNE THIS
morning. Our readers may not be altogether
unprepared for this exposure, for before the
COLONY had reached these shores, Mr.. IL. Me-
Crosson. a merchant of this city, and Dr.
Brockett. an authority upon Florida lands and
industries, had uttered emphatic warnings III
our columns. The thrifty Scotch settlers
reached their new possessions IN Floriaa only 10
fnd that they had been brought to IL desolate
waste of sand, perfect mockery OF the ler'le
paradise which they had been taught TO look
for. Every assurance held out to them seems
to have been falsfed, and every promise
broken. Instead of comfortable homes aDund-
ant food, church, n school, settled nelghDor-
hood and closely connected plots OF land, they
found a few miserable hovels indecently APP
pointed and a wilderness of sand. with
scarcely food enough to keep them from starv-
ing, assigned to widely separated points, seek
ing in vain for any proof or indication that the
soil for which they had paid huge price could
be made TO yield the least return, 1t Is no
wonder that they are ready to abandon the
scene of such miserable disappointment anu
that many of them have already departed.
We NAV at least congratulate ourselves that
this is not IN American sHindle." So far as can
now be ascertaincd, the scheme was planned
and carried out exclusively by the fellow-coun-
trymen of the poor dupes. In the midst OF
their misery we do not feel like denouncing the
lack of ordinary prudence which they nave
shown from first to last; but it is at least 10
be hoped that their experience will convince
our kin beyond the sea" that smooth-tongued
phanthropists are not the exclusive proouct
of American soil.

FIRE FENCES AND WEATHER..

1t is noteworthy that the wire fence has
played a very important part in the stock dis
asters reported from the Far West since the
present cold weather set in. The cattle pur-
sued by the storms, naturally drift across the
ranges In search of shelter. When, however.
they encounter wire fence their movement Is
STONED. and being stupehed by the cold, they
are liable to stay where they are until they
freeze to death Everywhere the same story of
the operation of the wire fences is being told.
A few years ago. before this kind of fence was
in use on the ranges, the losses Of stock from
cold snaps ere by no means so serious, for the
beasts were then able to follow their own in
stincts, which often guided them to depressions
or valleys or ravines where they could obtain
enough shelter to preserve them from freezing.
II is interesting to reflect that the application
of the wire fence on most of the great cattle
ranges of the Far West has been prompted by
rapacity which has deiied statutory law and all
considerations..of fair play. Corporations have
fenced in millions of acres to which they pos
sessed no title. In pursuing their lawless
schemes they drove out hundreds OF poor men
who we've struggling to make living by rails
ing a few head of cattle. Not seldom they
deliberately fenced in the water so rs TO force
their weaker neghbors either to sell their stock
or leave the country. They were .poliators
and so long as they made large profits they
cared for no laws. But they evidently did not
reflect that the wire fence might operate in
more ways than one, and that if it would keep
all the world out of the stolen ranges it would
also prevent the stock from protecting them
selves in time of storm. The loss of cattle re-
sultinp from this niece of forgetfulness will I'M
fortunately be more likely to fall upon the con-
sumner than on the stock raisers, who IL the
losses are very considerable. will be able to
reconp them by raising the price of beef
on the hoof Otherwise the episode of the wire
fence and the weather might be thought to
have a flavor of poetical justice.

trenching upon the unlimited power OF the
President to remove at pleasure. ms theory
is childish There is no such Constitutional
distinction between the act of removal and the
act of appointment. The Constitution was not
framed by senseless and impractical theorists;
it did not give the Senate power to confirm or
reject at pleasure. without any power to ask
reasons for confirming or rejecting.
1t is not to be lightly assumed, on the
assertion of correspondents who would be glad
to get the President into a war with the Senate,
that President Cleveland is going to refuse any
reasonable information, or to assert That the
Senate must vote on every nomination in the
unquestiOning presumption that the vacancy 10
be filled was wisely and properly made. 1t is
in the power of the Senate, If 1t dlsapproves
change to refuse to confirm any nomination
the President may send. In that event, the re-
sponsibiity would rest with him of failing to
fill an office at all in Constitutional manner,
or reconsidering his suspension. 1t is not to be
presumed that the Senate will be childish inthe
exercise of its power, or that the President Will
go about with chip on his shoulder trying to
get up fuss. The duty Of selecting proper
officers is ntrusted, not to the President alone,
or to the Senate alone, but to both, and it is to
be presumed that both will strive in good faith
to work together for the public good. If 50,
the President will not withhold from the Senate
any information needful to the form alton OF
correct Judgment as to the reasons for n change.
and the Senate will not stand upon punctlllo
in demanding information where none is
needed.
The broad fact underlying this whole bust
ness is that some Offices are political in char
acter and legitimate influence, and Others are
not The Presidents right to make changes in
such Offices has not been challenged. He has
not yet asserted right to treat all offices as of
that character, though a clause IN his first
message looked toward some such idea. Some
difficulty will naturally arise as to whether this
or that Office is properly political, so that re-
mOval for political reasons, in order to secure
party cooperation in the work of administra-
ton, is justifable. But if the President is wise
he will strive to make as little controversy with
the Senate on that point as possible.
