In that portion of the press edited by superior
beings there Is still good deal being said IN
opposition TO the appointment Of Mr.. Wanna
maker to the MISUNDERSTANDING under the
incoming administration; but, as a matter of
fact, no valid objection thereto has been yet
made, 50 far as We have seen. The Post-Ofice
department is purely business establishment,
which can best be administered by a business
man; and an approved business man Mr..
Wanamaker has surely shown himself to be.
There exists, therefore, that good reason for
his appointment. Besides, isn't it about time
for the recognition of some other interest than
law and professional politics in the construc-
ton Of presidential cabinets? Why shouldn't
commerce, and agriculture, and mining, and
the mechanic arts have their innings once in a
while? All the brains and patriotism and
craftsmanship Of the country are not by any
means confined to the circle from
which Presidents have usually chosen their
constitutional advisers; and If Mr.. Harrison
should depart somewhat from the usage OF his
predecessors in this respect the country will
very likely be the gamer. At any rate, the
experiment is worth trying; and Mr.. Wanna
maker is probably as good a man as any to
begin with.
We are aware that one Of the objections
persistently urged to Mr.. Wanaker's appoint
ment is the charge that he contributed 500, 900
to the republican campaign fund. Mr.. Wana-
maker squarely denies that he contributed this
sum, or any amount approaching it; but sup
pose he did; is there anything heinous In that,
assuming that he didn't defraud his creditors
or take away from the support of his family by
the act? 1t only meant that he believed In the
principles he espoused, and was willing to con-
tribute literally of his means to secure their
triumph over those he conceived to be mis-
chievous and injurious 10 the best interests Of
the country. Is there anything wrong, legally
or morally. in this? If poor man may prop
eriy contribute for political purposes say ten
dollars, or a hundred. which he cannot easily
afford, is it a crime for Mr. Wanamaker to con-
tribute such an amount as he can spare without
feeling it? In other words, for example, and
accepting for the moment the lowest view that
can be taken of the matter. is it any worse for
Mr.. Wanamaker, being out Of Office. and want
ing to get in. to contribute 100000, than il is
for Nr, Cleveland, being in Office, and wanting
TO keep himself there, to subscribe $4,000
to the campaign fund of has party?. In pro-
portion to the means understood to be pos
sessed by the two gentlemen referred to. the
hrst-named sum is no greater than the latter
Wherein then. lies the moral difference? If
it can be pointed out, the country ought to
have the benefit Of the explanation.

TIFIc AMERICAN, at 361 Broadway
New York, but many have not, and to
such the following account may be oi
interest. A correspondent who re
C. ntly had this pleasure informs III
that he was greatly surprised ut til,

suggested to his mind an enormous
insurance Company or banking house
At the main Office, which is principai-
ly devoted to the patent business

members of he firm and their alb
corps of examiners. Ready access
the principals is afforded toevery on
and here may be- seen inventors from
all parts Of country showing thri
models and drawings, and explainlls
thelr inventions. The models left l.
inventors from large and interestiu
collection, aud are kept IN u room b
themselves. The large corps p
draughtsmen who prepare the patCn
drawings are for the most part expei-
/ fenced mechanics, electricians, or en
gineprs, sume Of them having beer
connected with the U. 5. Patent Ofic,
Most Of the correspondence is carriet
IN by type writers, and this necessl
tates a seperate department, where a
number Of experienced female type
writers and stenographers are con
stantly employed The dark room

drawings are copied, and where th'
photographs for the architectural d..
partmcnt are developed, is also on thu

New York World.

"Old Gen. Bate" is the irreverent
but fond way in which manv Of his
constituents refer to the United States
Senator from Tcnnessee. He is now
on visit to New York, and as he
walks Broadway he displaysa medium
sized figure, half bent with age, and
his head covered with a slouch hat.
He has been Governor of his native
state and was u Mai j,r General in the
confederate service He was the fore
most political rival in Tennessee of
Andrew Johnson, and hated the
Greeneville tailor with undying venom.
When the successor OF Abraham Lin
coin had made way for Grant in the
White House and then desired to be
returned to the United States Senate
II was William B Bate who fought his
aspirations with a bitterness rarely ri
vailed even in politics, and when john
son again donned the Senatorial robes
which he had worn as Vicp-Presidenl
Bates cup Of disappointment was
filled to the brim. Yet he was like
johnson in many respects. He was
not much Of n soldier, but was one Of
those singular products Of rude Ten.
nessee life and, like the Indian, gained
rhetorical graces from constant con
tact with primitive nature. Yet, not
withstanding his powers Of speech
be struggled for twenty years before
he was sent to the Senate, aud then
WAS carried into that body atop the
wave of semi rrpudiatinn of a STATE
debt, which Tennessee prople called
ny the more euphonius term Of "scaI.
ing" and which Bate warmly favored.
