HALSTEAD'S FATE.

The controversy is most unfOrtu-
nate one, and it would seem as if the
senators should sink their private
grievances in case where the appoint
ment is so evidently proper one.-To-
ledo Blade (Rep.)
We know Murat Halstead to be a
manly man, who is never so sincere as
when he is, in our opinion, forociously
erroneous, and if he has preferred bare
knuckles to padded gloves and half
views to the Wilderness of vision which
the Sphercity of truth requires, that has
not interfered with his worth.-Brook-
Ign Eagle Dem.)
The action of the senate in rejecting
the nomination of Murat Halstead is
carrying personal prejudices too far.
But, while this result is to be regretted,
1T is case of s'chickenS coming home to
roost." something like MI. Halstead
would receive on a vote f Endorsement
III Columbus after his abuse of this city.
Columbus co. Journal Rep.)
We tender hearty congratulations
to our distinguished contemporary.
Field Marshal Murat Halstead. of GIN
cinnati, on the rejection by the
senate of his nomination to the
post of minister to Germany. Ii
he had been confirmed Mr.. Haistead
would have passed into the endless
category of gentlemen sent abroad to
occupy fancy places; he might even
have passed into obscurity; but now
that act of the senate raises him into
the category Of our most attractive and
most discussed citizenS.-NeW York
Sun DEM
1t would be sweet and beautiful if the
senate should finally refuse to confirm
Murat HalStead'S appointment. He
would then be free to come home and
edit his paper on the principle that he
announced in recent address, that an
advertiser had as much right to buy the
opinions of newspaper as space in it
for his own Opihions.-Indianapo
News Qnd. Rep.)
If it is maintained that the senators
ought after this lapse of time to forgive
such Scurrility spoken lin the heat of
debate" there would still be this con-
elusive point to be made against the
Halstead confirmation: If as a news
paper editor he is SO recklessIy indis-
Greet, what absurdly unwise and mis-
chievous work might not be looked for
for at his hands were he put in the re-
spOnsIble and delicate position of United
States minister at the German cOurt?-
Milwaukee Wisconsin Rep.)
The rejection of Halstead is formal
notice that the sacred office of United
States senator is exalted above the crit
icism of any plebeian editor-that is, if
the editor happens to want an office at
the hands of the president. There are
still few editors III the country, how
ever, who are not suppliants at the
hands of the millionaire club house at
Washington. They will retain the
glorious American privilege of speak
ing their minds, and wouldn't exchange
it for all the offices that the senate
might confirm in year.-Detroit News

Mrs. Cleveland enjoys New York life
exceedingly. She says that she is glad
to step out of the "bright sunlight of

country. To person of Mrs. Cleye-
lands modest and retiring nature this
is especially pleasing.

THE APPROPRIATIONS.

1t seems to be the rule with legisla-
tive bodies to postpone action on the APP
preparation bills until the last hours
OF the session, and the present legisla-
ture is not likely to prove an exception
to the rule. Whether this is done in
order to give the members more time
to deliberate, or whether the matter is
postponed because of the disposition of
the legislature to defer as long as pos
slble an exceedingly disagreeable duty,
we are unable to say. But, whatever
the reasons may be, the time is near at
hand when no further postponement is
possible. The session is drawing rap
idly to close, and whatever is to be
done must be done shortly.
We are aware that a strong pressure
from different quarters is being brOugh
upon The legislature to rip up the re
port adopted by the joint finance com
mittees, and to have the state continue
in its career of past extravaganza. This
feeling is being worked up by the friends
of the various state institutions, who
imagine that they have been neglected,
and they are supplemented by the
corps of lobbyists who infest the legis-
lative halls in the interest of the sew
eral jobs. AS natural result of this
combined pressure, it will require an
unusual display of moral courage On
the part of the legislature to stand by
the report of its two finance committees.
And yet we will be disappointed in the
body if it does not prove equal to the
emergency. This is assuredly the
most intelligent legislature we have
had in years; it is a more thoroughly
representative body than we usually
see; and when we remember that there
are such urgent necessities for the in
auguratlon of an era of economy and
retrenchment, we cannot bring our
selves to believe that this legislature
will swerve from the policy so clearly
outlined in the report of the joint
finance committees. In fact, we see no
reason why that report may not be
taken up any day under suspension
of the rules, and be adopted just as it
stands, without a change of single
item in the appropriations: Just as
sure as either house begins to tack on
amendments, the bars will be let down,
and there is no telling what will then
be the limit of the appropriations.
The report of the finance COM
mittees has been read by the tax
payers Of the state and in the
main receives their appreciation.
The appropriations therein recon-
mended are regarded as reasonable,
and the taxpayers are enabled to see
how the expenditures for the next two
years are to be kept within the limit of
the receipts. But they cannot see how
another dollar can be added to the total
amount already recommended without
creating additional financial embarrass-
ment. The state is in deep enough
water now, without wading further into
the stream of public extravaganza; and,
inasmuch as the joint finance commit
tees have found place where the tax
payers can keep their heads above
water, the wise thing to do is to stop
right there.

WILL ADJOURN TODAY.
WI at the Senate Has Done in
Extra Session.

Extra Session.
WASHINGTON, April LIT seems to
be the universal expectation among
senators that the senate will adjourn
the present special session sine die to-
morrow. If the session ends tomorrow
it will then have been of exactly the
same length as the one convened by
President Arthur to receive President
ClevelandS nominations. President
Harrison has sent in about three hun
dred and fifty nominations since the
9Th of March, all of which, with very
few exceptions, have been reported
from committee, and will have been con-
flrmed before adjournment. Of the offices
yet to be filled, the most important are
commissioner of the general land office
and public printer. 1t is believed that
they will be filled within a few days.
Editor Osborne, of the Los Angeles
Evening Express, is believed to be the
man selected for public printer. but no
satisfactory guess can be made as to
the land commissioner. 1t is the gen.
eral opinion that W. M. Meredith, of
Chicago, who was supposed to be the
coming man for public printer, will sue
coed E. o. Graves as superintendent of
the bureau of engraving and printing.
Most OF the senators will gladly wei
come the respite from public cares for
season, having been in practically con-
tlnuOus session since Dec. 4, 1887, and
will take the earliest opportunity to
leave the city. Senator Edmunds, who
went South for his health two weeks
ago, has returned, feeling better, and
was in his seat to-day.

THE FLOATERS.

There is so little concealment of the
Republican methods of controlling the
floating vote in New York. that the
speaker of the assembly few days
since boosted that he had received from
the Republican committee large sum
to secure the questionable vote' of his
locality at the last election. Still, some
Republican papers insist that the DEM
Ocrats worked the Doodle business as
much as they did. Without insisting
upon any monopoly of honesty, if this
is the case, why is it that the Repub-
lican legislatures are so reluctant to
adopt measures that would tend to
break up the demoralizing practice? A
Republican, in vIrtuous outburst of
candor, says: sit is a peculiar fact
that in nearly all the close states, where
an attempt is being made to devise
some system of voting that will bring
about the purity of the ballot, the Re-
publican party appears to be against
the innovation, and raises the cry that
the laws are good enough now" Good
government cannot be maintained with
a corrupt ballot. and there should be no
pdrtiSanShip in this matter.

SPURIOUS LARD.

The Canadian parliament has been
considering a proposition to impose a
duty on American lard that will effect
ually exclude it from that country. 1t
is probable that more of the adulterated
stuff has been sent there than has been
put into the home markets. but recent
investigations in official quarters leave
no room for question that there is ALI
enormous manufacture of the spurious
article in this country. 1t has been
considered in congress and efforts
pressed to put a stOpto the sale of the
adulterated article as pure. Aside from
the imposition upon the public and the
deleterious effects of the use of the bad
stuff, it threatens the existence of the
trade abroad in the American article.
European countries are becoming dis
satisfied over the matter, and the action
indicated in Canada would be bad adj

over a million tierces. annually sent

MEAT INSPECTION.

This is the day fixed by the state SEN
ate for discussion of the meat inspec-
ton bill, and the senate chamber is
likely to be flooded with stream of elo-
quence of all unusually high order.
Aside from the appropriation and APP
portionment bills. there has been no
measure before this legislature of more
general interest, and more directly af-
fecting important local industries, than
this one; and, consequently, all the
people of the state are watching its
progress and awaiting its fate with I'M
usual interest.
The bill embodies some novel prin-
ciples in state legislation, and, as con-
sequence, both its advocates and its OPP
ponents manifest desire to learn some
thing of the probable outcome of the APP
plicatlon of those principles. While it
is true that they are novel in state legis-
lation. they have been for long time en-
forced in federal legislation; for when
boiled down this measure is, in prin-
ciple, nothing more or less than the
application of the high tariff theory,
the protection of local Industries by eX-
Guiding foreign competition. 1t not the
real purpose of the bill, that at least
will be its effect in case it becomes
law. And yet we are inclined to the
opinion that this protection principle
is more just in its application to state
legislation than it is to our federal
system.
But the principal argument in favor
of the meat inspection bill is It's neces-
Sity for the purpose of securing good
sanitation. 1t is an undeniab1e fact that
meat consumers are sometimes horribly
imposed upon by those dressed meat
concerns at Chicago, Kansas City and
elsewhere. The buyer has to take his
meat on faith. He never knows when
he buys steak or roast whether it has
been cut from the carcass of a healthy
steer, or whether it is piece of bull
lock that died from pleuro-pneumonia
or COW that fell victim to the muir
rain. This diSagreeable feature of meat
consumption would be obviated by the
hoof inspection proposed in the SCHEF-
FER bill. Then, again, while sanitation
is the primary object of the bill, it sec
ondarily deals blow at the beef trust,
diid lHuS SCCulcS W luG i've STOCK
breeder an independence that he is now
deprived of. And yet it is a mooted
question in the minds of the consumers
whether or not, in destroying the power
OF the Big -Four trust, the measure may
Tot build UP local monopoly fully as
burthenSOme as the other. This will be
one of the arguments used by the OPP
ponents of the bill, and. in addition
thereto, the claim that it is class iegis-
lation.
But all these points will be brought
out in tO-day's discussion and fully
elucidated. The GLOBE expresses the
hope that the senators will give the
measure an impartial consideration,
and, after having thoroughly canvassed
the whole subject, will vote according
to their honest convictions as to what
the best interests of the state require.

CHICAGo's ELECTION TO-DAY.

Not the least important feature of
this campaign is the fact that thousands
of Republicans in good standing in their
party are either avowedly for Cregier or
entirely passive. The Roche-Davis-
Swift combine has never been a Repub-
lican affair. 1t has comprehended alb
Solutely the worst elements in Chicago,
without reference to party. If there is
a scaly politician in any of the wards
he will be found hurrahing for Roche.
If there is purchasable newspaper it
will be found favoring Roche. If there
is man anywhere who can be bought
for any price he will be seen on the
side of the ring which now poses as Re-
publican. Can the Republicans of Chi
cago afford to let this sort of thing go
On in their name? The machine must
be smashed some time. Why not now?

Mrs. Cleveland's appearance.

New York Letter to Kansas City journal.
The wife of the eX-president looks
older than on her earlier visits to New
York, but her smile is as ready and her
manner as unaffectedly cheerful. Her
complexion is somewhat salIow, as
if late hours or strong cot
fee had told on her, but
she is far from seeming a disap-
pointed or unhappy woman. At the
lunch in question she woIe poIOnaise
of dark green velvet, opening in antique
style over pettIcoat of cream: Empire
hat of green velvet, with dropping ostrich
plumes. A friend who had talked much
with Mrs. Cleveland lately feels sure of
two things; first, she take advantage of
release from the cOnstraints of an off
ciai position to go in for uIuch out-of-
door exercise, even of the athletic sort
instancing the fact she is having tri-
cycle built to Order-and second, than
her literary plans, if she has any, are
very vague, and without much encour-
agement from her friends the Gilders
will be unlikely for the present to ma
ture. Mr.. Cleveland is in no haste
to have his wife rush into litera-
tuoe. The rush of charitable and
literary and semi-literary organ
izations to secure her name on their list
of officers or members, in view of the
very absurd rumor that society did not
intend to receive her, is very amusing.
One lady says that such propositions
reach her at the rate of two or three by
every mail.

GO TO SUNDAY SCHOOL.

1t is becoming understood among the
officeseekers in the observation of the
president and WANAMAKER, how to
touch their mellow spots. The accept
ance of an invitation to visit the big
Philadelphia Sunday school is suggest
i've to them. AS class they are an I'M
regenerate set, and there was nothing
observable in their manner the Sunday
before the Inauguration to indicate that
they knew anything about Sunday
schools or the religious regimen of the
new powers. 1t is believed that there
is hope for them. however. If they can
be taken to Philadelphia few Sundays,
they may yet bask in presidential
smiles. 1t is related that Senator COL
QUIT, a Confederate Democrat, has
been discovered by the president to
have Sunday school in Atlanta, Ga,
and is becoming afavorite at the White
house. 1t is probable that a good many
Democratic postmasters, may discover
what constitutes good official in time,
if they want to hold on. They should
not, however, shut their Sunday school
doors in the face of the swarming I'M
godly Republicans.

HE WON'T DANCE.

MAJ. Gardner Decides Not to Hop
for the Navy at the Centennial.
WASHINGTON. April Maj. Asa
Bird Gardner, the retired Judge advo-
cate OF the army who was selected by
Ward McAllister to represent the navy
In the grand cotillion to be danced at
New York during the Washington in
augurai centennial ceremonies, called
on Secretary Tracy to-day, in company
with members of the centennial COM
mittee from New York. So much dis
satisfaction has been expressed by
naval officers at the appointment of
Maj. Gardner that the latter thought it
expedient to consult with Secretary
Tracy concerning the matter, and
see if some arrangement by
which the dissatisfaction might
be quoted could not be effected.
1t was generally agreed at the confer
ence this morning that retired Judge
advocate OF the army was not the proper
person to represent the navy on such an
important occasion, taking precedence,
as would be the case,o of the admiral and
all other naval officers. Naval officers
have felt very much sighted and not
little amazed at Maj. Gardeners appoint
ment, and for this reason and on ac-
count OF the manner in which the navy
had been ignored, the secretary thought
it proper for Maj. Gardner to resign and
allow some naval officer to take his
place. Maj. Gardner cheerfully agreed
to this. Adm raj Porter will be invited
to represent the navy in the cotillion,
and should he decline to do so, some
other prominent naval officer will be Sc
lected.
