tary Bayard is credited with saying
that when it shall come to pass
that party service must be rewarded
with Office, the failure of free insti-
tutions will be demonstrated. Mr..
Bayard did not mean this, or if ne
did he entertains very poor opin-
ion of the intelligence and percep-
ton of the people. The American
government is founded upon the
theory of parties; it contemplates
political parties in the Constitution
itself, and the recognition OF the
existence of parties is found in
many of the laws. 1t would be
difficult to conceive of form of
government which more than ours,
recognized the necessity for parties.
As there must be parties in. the re-
public, what more natural or prop
er than that the partisans should
be rewarded for their services ?
From the very nature of things such
advantages as the party wins should
be enjoyed by the members of the
party; and all things else being
equal, the man who does the most
for the success of his party should
receive most at its hands. 1t may
be we'll to preach disinterestedness
and that sort OF thing, but who ex
poets to find pure disinterestedness
in political matters? The man
who claims it is either fraud or a
fool, and assumes that everybody
else is less than full -witted. A
man works politically the same as
he does with his hands or otherwise,
for the advantage that his labors
will be to him, either directly or in
directly. Selfishness is the motive
of his efforts, unless he is a crank,
in which event his partisanship is
very apt to be dangerous. The re-
wards of victory should come to
those who achieve the victory, and
if those rewards are the offices, then
the offices should be given to the
winners of them. Mr.. Bayard is
in the Cabinet because of his SER
vices to his party, and he knows it.
He has been a true and consistent
Democrat, as well as man of abil
ity, and when there were rewards of
merit to be distributed he, most
properly, came in for handsome
share, because of his ability and
also because of his earnest and EN-
inert services in behalf of the par
ty. Ii there were to be no rewards,
if the offices were to be retained by
the defeated party, how much po-
litical effort does Mr.. Bayard sup
pose any man or any party would
put forth
Nor does it argue. the failure of
free institutions that the offices are
conferred as rewards for partisan
services. If one party or the other
were an enemy to free institutions
and that party should attain to
power, it might prove disastrous,
but while all parties in the republic
are erected on republican founda-
tons, free institutions are not great
ly endangered, whoever may hold
the Offices.

of money in endeavorng to reach the
Yenisei river in Siberia by the north
ern water route. He has always Jared,
while British sea captain named
Virgins, has successfully made three
trips and has recently started on
fourth. Virgins states that the Rus

ships employed by him were not fit
for such voyage and got caught In
the ice. The Russian government
has shown its appreciation OF Capt.
Virgins enterprise in opening the
northern route by granting him special
trading privileges for five years. The
profits of the trade are said to be
enormous. a first-Class ships mast

Yenisei for $s beef costs there only
five cents a pound; ton OF salt worth
fifteen shillings at Liverpool is salable
at Yeniseisk for SIS; a ton of wheat
can be bought there for S., and Capt.
Virgins found a fine quality Of black
lead so plentiful that he ballasted his
ship with it.

The rabbit plague in Australia is
only mild nuisance compared to the
scourge OF rats IN some parts of Mex
leo, if a recent report is to be trusted.
1t is claimed that the rodents invade
the towns and ranches by countless
thousands, and have in a number OF
instances caused terrible conflagra-
tons by getting into places where
matches are kept and Grlng buildings.
Those who Rave investigated the
strange plague say that all attempts
at poisoning seem to fail to reduce
the numbers. The destruction wrought
by them is alarming. In many places
people have not slept more than two
hours at time for weeks, but are kept
continually battling with rats Of enor-
nous sizes. They strike ranches in
large bodies and do not leave until
they have eaten and DESTROYED all the
grain about the place. In many To-.
calities scientific men have been en-
deavorins to account for the presence
of so many agents Of destruction and
to invent some means for reducing
their numbers, but have so far failed.

The fact is now recalled that Mrs.

Coody, whose mother was a daugh-
ter OF a sister of the Cherokee chief,
John Ross, who ruled over the nation
for a period Of forty years. The es.
tabllshment of the Cherokee right by
blood, which is required of all Chero.
KEGS who have severed their connec.
ton with the nation beyond a year,
would entitle Mrs. Sheridan to one

like share in S., 900 OF funds held
in trust by the United States, on which
an annual interest of $I4o 900 is paid
