Senator Harris told the senate few days since just where it stood in refer ence to the nominations President Cleve- land has sent in since the election. He had found, he said, that 45S nominations had been sent to the senate by the pres ident; of these 133 were regular promo tions in the army, navy and marine hos pital service, and were all confirmed but two. But of the 3e5 other nom- nations, the great majority of which had been made to fill off, ciaI vacancies, there were only forty eight confirmations, leaving 277 not acted upon. Out of 261 presidential postmasters nominated, only twenty three had been confirmed, leaving 239 not yet confirmed or rejected. Senator Harris held it to be as much the duty of the president to make nominations to fill official vacancies as to perform any other official duty ,and as much the duty of the senate to consider and confirm or reject such nominations as to perform any other senatorial duty. He recalled the facts that President Arthur after the presidential election of 1884 had sent to the senate 612 nominations, all of which were confirmed except twenty, and that President Hayes had after the presiden- tial election of 1880 sent to the senate 68O nominations, nearly all of which were confirmed. A motion made by Senator Harris to go into executive ses- sion for the purpose of taking up the presidents nominations was rejected by strict party vote, every republican present in the senate voting against it. That vote, coupled with its course in hanging up the nominations, shows where the republican senate stands on civil service reform.
 \ The fact is that under Harrison there is going to be return to the policy of having none but republicans in office. The people might as we'll make up their minds to that.

The Forxetful Bridegroom.

Eliot Dunn gave The Breeze the details of quite an amusing incident that happened on board the train while on his way to Atlanta
 Shortly after the train pulled out of Bruns- wick he noticed Savannah man on board with an unusually happy smile on his face.
 The man seemed wrapped in silent medita- tion on some pleasing subject, as he would occasionally chuckle to himself, and MT. Dunn was quite amused at watching him.
 Presently, much to the surprise of Mir. Dunn, he sprang suddenly to his feet with the exclamation: Great Scottl I've forgotten to get health certificate, and won't be admitted into Savannah without it."
 The conductor coming through, the man explained his dilemma to him, and the urbane official introduced him to Mr. Dunn, who re- gretted his inability to furnish him with the desired certificate, as he had neither blanks nor pen and ink.
 "But, my dear sir" said the Savannah man, 'I'm on my way to get married, and if I'm detained shall be ruined"
 'If you get me a pen and ink I'll write you certificate" said MT. Dunn.
 The conductor said there was none on board, and that it would be impossible to detain the train until it could be obtained at Jesup.
 But, my dear sir, the girl, the preacher and the guests will all be waiting and won- dering why do not put in an appearances" said the man.
 Telegraph her." suggested Mr. Dunn
 "I can't! She lives some miles from Sa- vannah, where there is no telegraph station, :" he replied.
 Finally MT. Dunn gave him his own cor tificate and told him to sec if he could pass on it.
 Mir. Dunn received letter stating that the certificate had passed him all right, and after getting married he had added the words ''and wife" to it, so that it read, "Eliot Dunn and wife, i" under which alias the happy couple had gone on their bridal tour.-Brunswick (Ga.) Breeze

A HANGING UP SENATE.

Those who take stock in civil service reform, or in the disposition of the re- publican party to keep it from an early death, will find little to encourage them in the course of the United States senate in the matter of President Cleveland's nominations. These nominations, which are being sent to the senate in the reg ular course of business. are being quiet ly hung up for no other reason than that the places may be given by Presi- dent Harrison to the men who voted for him. This is probably statesmanship, but it is kind of statesmanship that will not commend itself to the godly mugwumps or limber-spined democrats who find anything to admire in civil service reform.

GENERAL HARRISON gave the politi- clans of his party pretty pointed dig when he told a visitor recently that he thought strongly of selecting his whole cabinet frop Alaska; that was the only place where there seemed to be harmony about anything. Just at present there seems to be about as much harmony in the party as there is in the cage of the happy family in Barnum's menagerie.

A device has been invented which enables the engineer, when in his cab, to turn . switch, which can be closed again from the rear of the train. It Is operated in connec- tion with the ''central throw" switch, and consists of 8 "shoe," which is dropped from the forward and rear trucks. This strikes 6 crank, which is overthrown and the switch closed or opened as the case may be- A switch left open carelessly may thus be closed by the locomotive while ct high speed, or a train side tracked quickly in case of danger.

TORIES REAPING THE EwHIRLWIND

Lord Salisbury's action in putting himself under police protection, and the cowardly quaking of Balfour and the cravens who train with him, is the legit- innate fruit Of their warfare against Par nell and peaceful agitation. If the Irish people, struggling along the lines of peace to the liberation of their op- pressed land and keeping almost reGg iously within the bounds of constitu- tional methods, are to be locked up on frivolous charges, dressed in the con- vict's garb, fed on prison fare and treated with all the contumely and re- fined barbarity of which British jailers are capable, nothing seems more certain |, than that patience will cease to be a virtue and sterner methods will be em- ployed to bring home to the tory tyrants the vengeance they defy.
 Men who bear in their hearts no love for Ireland, who have neither sympathy for her cause nor regard for her people, have admired the calm and determined spirit that has characterized the move ment for home rule, and have won dered how a brave and impulsive people have been able to carry themselves with the moderation that has characterized them in the face of the brutalities of the bloody Balfour and his associates. Par nell and the men who are working with him have prevented many an act of violence and revenge that must other wise pass like whirlwind over British soil. And what has been the result They have been bounded with amalignity and treachery beside which even British hatred of O'Connell and Emmet pales into insigniicance. It is the treatment of these men-the horrible barborities practiced in civilized country against the brave O'Brien, the villainies perpe- trated under governmental sanction against the peace-loving Parnell, the cruelties launched against soggarth and peasant who dare to raise their voice for their native land-that is causing Irish men to ask themselves, what is the use of further peaceful methods It is the injustice of Salisbury's Irish policy that is putting the fuse to the bomb and the internal machine, that is whetting the knife of the assassin and nerving the arm of the invincible. It is the bloody persecution of Balfour that is working to the substitution for Gladstone and Parnel's course of the methods of O'Donovan Rossa and those who believe with him that the only good English man is a dead one. And Irishmen in America are beginning to wonder whether after all Rossa and his party have not the truer conception of what is best for their native land. ...... If the "removers'' are heard from ere many days, if such scoundrels as Le Caron and Pigott and Salisbury and Balfour are the first to fall victims to a justi6able vengeance, the only wonder will be that their fate has been delayed so long. They have been sowing the wind-they must expect to reap the whirlwind.
