GENERAL AND oRIriCuLAR.

THE bust Of Johu Howard Payne has
been sent from Oak Hill Cemetery to New
York IN order TO have the whiskers removed
from the faCe.-local.
Whereas, erstwhile, it was the face of
Payne
That was our Oak IIill treasure,
They hope when all those whiskers are re-
moved
To have a face OF pleasure.
And yet, tits sad to sec those whisliers 20,
To think that he who drew them,
VIII listen hopelessly to hear the winds
Which never will blow through them.
And CLONE, Sweet Home" will not be
home again
The very names fizzle-
When barbarous hands shall take that face
And shave it with chisel.
oh, artists give to us that face again,
We plead in this short sonnet
We ask no new PAIN all that we desire
Is Payne with whiskers on 1t.
An effort was made in the House yester-
day to throw out the appropriation OF $20,-

The Hot Springs advocates arose,
And with vigorous voice,
Communicated to the House
The nature Of their choice.
They blowed and clustered like o storm,
They voted as they blew,
And with grand old rally, then,
They put the measure through.

MIR. EpMuNps NEW SCHEME.

Senator Edmunds caused o little sur.
prise yesterday by the introduction of
bill extending very materially the
power of the President in the matter
of appointments, so that in case the
measure should become a law, many
Presidential appointments would not
be subject to confirmation by the SEN
ate. But there is small.sized "darky"
concealed about the premises of the
Edmunds proposition.
While freeing the President from
Senatorial checks in the appointment
of a large body of public servants, il
takes from him the power of removal
or suspension. The appointecs would
stay in Office four years or until I'M
peached for misconduct before a judi
cial tribunal. In other words, Mr.. Ell
munds, while throwing n sop to tde
President, would at the same time prac-
tically enlarge by one mighty jump the
list Of Government officers who come
within the protective scope of the civil
service law for while Mr.. Elmunds' bill
has no reference to that law, it would
reach just about the same results.
Democrats as rule look with sus-
picion upon any measure, however
plausible 1t may look on its face, that
the Vermont Senator introduces. His
latest proposed legislation will not fail
to excite close scrutiny. For while the
Democrats are not, as rule, opposed
to civil service reform, they are at
the same time willing to wait until the
present law inaugurating that reform
has been fully tried before extending
its ramifcations, either directly or in.
directly.
There Is one thing we are glad to
note about Senator Edmunds in this
connection. lie has not even waited
to be called upon for his reasons" for
introducing the bill, but has volun-
tarily diagnosed the motives which
controlled him and has promptly given
his diagnosis to the press.

The Usual January Volume of Trade In Prog
ress, but Not Reaching Expectations.
INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. %.
A majority of the wholesale men speak of
their trade as being fully up to the usual acreage
in January, yet not up to their expectations in
the early part of the month. The fault is the
weather: while winterish enough much Of the
time in its character it has been little too
to stimulate business in this section. Then
again, prices are ruling to steady
sharp advance in favor of
the staple articles would doubtless result in
merchants dropping their methods of purchas-
ing only to meet immediate requl rements and
stocking up more extensively. In most depart
IN ents prices rule firm at present quotations
The egg and poultry markets are shade firmer,
With, with i better Eastern demand But the
the grocery markets are in an ap
parently strong position. The New York Ship
ping List takes cheerful view of the situation.
This paper says SO far as the trade outlook is
concerned there 10 indications that warrant
a less hopeful outlook with respect to the future
than existed at the commencement of the year.
The improvement in the iron industy has not
been based upon speculation, but is the result OF
increased demand from the actual requirements
of consumption, and there is no better index of
the substantial prosperity of the country than
an improvement in iron. The same con
ditions prevail with respect to every
other department of trade, and the
forecasts of continued improvement are
based upon features that are equally
substantial and encouraging. The unsettled
condition of the stock market which is regard;
ed as the Wal-street barometer, reflects tenn
porary disturbance of the speculative temper of
the street, which is always highly sensitive to the
influence Of surface currents, but there is no in
dication that the public is selling out its invest
ments because Of loss of confidence in the abil-
ity Of the railroads to operate their lines at a
profit. The unsatisfactory state of the export
trade has developed no feature that was aor fore
Swallowed month ago, when continued ab-;
sence of foreign demand for breadstuffs and cot
ton pointed to probable drain of gold.
