There Is a good deal being said about
the republican state ticket, and the drift
of opinion is that Governor Rusk and
Secretary Timmo will be renominated
without opposition. For reasons stated

the gentlemen. They are not only thor

up. Sen. Miller, in the course of some
remarks on the bill, referred to the ravages
of the rice birds, which. he said. caused a
loss equal to seven dollars per acre of the
rice crop of the United States. The
ravages of the English sparrow. he added.
were very much worse than those of the

HOuSe-Mr. Cobb of Indiana, called up
the report of the committee on public
lands recommending concurrence in the
senate amendments to the Atlantic & Pa
citic land forfeiture bill. Mr.. McRoe, of
Arkansas, vigorously opposed the senate
amendments, cOntending that notwith-
standing the title of the bill, the adop-
tion of the amendments would convert
the bill into a confirmation act. The re-
port of the committee was then agreed to
and the amendments concurred in. Under
a call of the states several bills were in
trOduced and referred, after which the
floor was accorded to the district of
Columbia committee. The bill was pass

and pool selling in the district. The bill

Mn. JoHN Roach must have felt sad for
the degenerate days of democracy on
Monday, when Mr.. Whitney gave the first
trial of the new steel cruiser Atlanta,
which he has had built at Roach's ship
yard and which is considered So good
that the French government has been try
ing to secure her designs to build four of
the same class. The vessel will go to
Brooklyn in a few days, and naval officers
pronounce her first class. The thing that
will make Roach feel worst is the fact that
she was completed for the money appro-
priated for her. Secretary Whitney has
done more for the navy since he has been
i'll office than was done in twelve years be-
fore his time, and the people know that
the money going into the navy now pro
dnces something. Jobbery has been
most etfectually cleaned out of this inn
portant department of the government.

OUR ACADEMY BAND.-The MOI
art Assembly, 4,S46, is about to take
steps to have congressional bill in
troduced to prevent government
bands from competing with citizen
musicians. This is aimed at the Ma
val Academy band, who during the
summer, when their services are not
required in the Academy, 60 to sum-
mer resorts aud find employment dur
ing the season. The Academy band
is one of the best in the country. and
their services are always 10 demand.
Their pay is small based, we under,
stand on the fact that government re-
quires their services but nine months
ia the year. The three remaining
months are entirely their own, and
they have IA inalienable right to pur-
sue their calling where yer they can
&, d employment
Until the establishment Of pleasure
resorts in this State, the Naval band
sought and obtained summer employ
ment on the Atlantic coast, where
their services were and still are in
demand by first class establishments.
No objections We're urged against this
course. but when they seek employ
ment at home. they are met by threats
of boy cotting and other annoyances
from bands their inferior in every re-
spect. The spirit of our people are
opposed to such narrow views, aud
will not sustain "citizen musicians
as they call themselves, 10 their eff
forts to trample upon the rights Of the
band employed at the Naval Acad-
envy. If Congress should listen to
them and pass their bill prescribing
the Naval band, it must expect to
pay the full yearly value Of their SER
vices, aud not for nine months as
now.

Tar continued illness Of Secretary
Manning and the recent illness Of
other members OF the Cabinet and Of
Col. Lamont, The Presidents efficient
private Secretary, have greatly In
creased the labor of Mr.. Cleveland
during the past week. Sickness in
the Cabinet has called attention to
the very arduous nature Of the duties
which Cabinet officers are called upon
to perform, and it would be difficult
to end conditions that offer more lib
eral inducements to illness than may
be found in the resent Cabinet. The
labor exacted of its members is I'M
relentiDg, constant and severe. There
are few persons who know how very
much Secretary Manning was over
worked. He found it impossible to
conduct the affairs of the Treasury
Department by giving the business
only q general supervision. I'm
mense labor was required Of the Sec
rotary personally. The continuous
strain of weighty responsibilities. adj
ded to the everlasting worry of petty
detail, makes a havoc with the nerve
forcest bat only regular seasons of re-
pose can repair. And recnperatioh is
not to be thought Of in Washington of
fetal life. Society makes larger de-
mands upon public men every year.
To entertain and to be entertained is
to perform the duties attached to the
position. To close the doors of q
house that Gu stom has rented to So
ciety for the season. as it were. is to
be inhospitable and eccentric. 1t is
true Mr. Manning went very little
into society, and left social duties
usually to his wife, hat for all that be
has had no rest.
