Mr.. Flower to the Front.

Mr.. Roswell P. Fl>wer, Of New York, is
preparing to create a sensation in the next
congress and throughout the country he
wants postnasters. internal revenue collect
orS and custom house officials 70 be elected
by the people, and be will introduce a bin
to that end. Under the present system. he
says. the President dictates 10 the people as
10 who shall serve them in these Offices. and
the principles upon which the government
was founded are lost sight Of Instead OF
a government fer, of aud by the
people, We have one in which the Pres
ident has more power than NEST kings.
THE trainers Of the cons titusion," be says
never imagined that the time would come
when cities, towns and country localities
would have no say in the selection of
officers who serve them, but would be com
PEELED 70 take any officer who might be
selected for them" He, therefore. wants
the officers named TO be elected every four
years. the President 70 retain the power to
remove those who may be shown to have
neglected their duties, OF TO De corrupt. In
case Of the removal of an officer the people
are to elect his SUCCESSOR.
While Mr. Flowers purpose is to re-estab-
hsh local self-government, he contsnds that
the change would take the selection Of these
officers out Of politics and insure the elec-
ton Of the best men, take away the incent-
i've TO corruption in presidential elections,
and give Presidents more tire to consider
questions Of state. 1t would also rid Wash
ington to a great extent of the Office seekers
who hang around that city in the hcps of
obtaining positions with as little work and
as much pay as possible.
Very few people believe that congress
will pass such measure Mr. Flower is
man of considerable influence, and he will
no doubt throw great energy into his efforts,
but as he depends for success upon a con-
gress that is republican in both branches, be
is pretty certain TO meet with failure. Re-
puolicans don't believe very strongly in a
government by the people. 1t is by no
means certain that he would
succeed even if congress were demo
cratic, as congressman reap good
deal of political benefit Though their rec
concentrations of men for office. 1t is not
difficult, however. to understand that
President might favor Mr. Flowers meas
ure. 1t would partly relieve him of the
opportunities of Office seekers, and while it
would curtail his power, still, presidential
appointments are a source of weakness
rather than strength. Where the admins
tration gains one strong supporter by an
appointment it often makes dozen enc
mics among the disappointed aspirants.

An Unsatisfactory Administration.

An Unsatisfactory Administration.
A democratic Senator remarked the other
day that the Harrison administration was
the NEST unpopular that he had known.
Even Hayes" he said, chad his defend
ers, but have yet to meet the champion of
Harrison
This brings to mind the dispatches from
seventeen leading states. published in the
Pittsburg Chronicle Telegraph. republi-
can newspaper, week or two ago, show
lag republican discomfort ia the rank and
file in each state. In New York, ex-Sena-
tor Miller, the "noble leader" who
"fell. outside the breastworks," has
been allowed to remain where he fell, and
he is said to be the most aggrieved man in
the state. Ex-senator Plat, VINO, soon
after the President was lnaugurated, seemed
likely to get all he wanted in tho way of
patronage, has been snubbed several times
lately, and he is not in the best of humor.
Senator Quay, of Pennsylvania, is begin
ming to feel unhappy because the President
doesn't give as much consideration TO his
recommendations as he might, and Senator
Cameron never was an admirer of Harri-
son. The Illinois senators feel very sore
because of their treatment by tho admin
istration, and 50 it runs through the
entire list of states reported. That
the people are dissatisfied is
shown by their mutteriugs, and by the re-
cent elections, and evea In Indiana the
Presidents home city went democratic at
the last local election, and the republicans
of a town in that state went so far not long
ago as to burn the President in effigy.
There is undoubtedly widespread discon-
tent with the administration. Much of it
is among republican leaders whose claims
have not been recognized, among people
who think that all of the Offices should be
given to the republicans at once, aad among
disappointed office-ssekers. These peopls
have selfish aims, and their dissatisfac-
ton is of q kiRd that might be
created by any other administration, but the
people who want a clean, wise and business
like administration are also disappointed
and dissatisfied. They find that the Presi-
dent is not upbold!ng the civil service laws
as be should, that many of his appointments
are bad, that the government is not being
administered as well as it was under Mr..
Cleveland, and that the administration has
gone out OF its way TO interfere in state
elections. They don't like the Presidents
way of doing business. 1t may suit him
exactly, and it may suit his relatives, but
1T is not good for the country.

Don't Tear it Down.

The resolution offered in the city council
Of Richmond, Va, the other night looking
to the demolition of the JEFF Davis man
sion" does not meet with the favor of the
people of that city. The building has for
some years been used ~ a school-house, and
while it is not very we'll suited for that pur-
pose, yet the general opinion of the Rich
mond people is that if the city needs
another school building it sh 1uld be erected
upon spot less historic. They want 1.-THE
white house of the coufederacy" to remain
as a sort of souvenir of the most eventful
period in the country's history. 1t was 10
that house that MIR. Davis passed four of
the most trying years of his life. 1t was
there that he held councils with his cabinet
1t was there that he more than once con-
ferred with Gen. Robert e. Lse, and the
associations connected with it are such that
the people don't want to see it torn down
This is matter of sentiment, of course,
but the sentiment ought to be respected.
The colored hack drivers of Richmond
also want the building to remain because
they receive many a dollar from tourists
who wish to see this relic of the confeder-
acy. The opinion which prevails in Rich
mond is the same which prevails in every
other part of the south, and it is more pro-
nounced because, in his feeble
old age. Mr.. Davis would feel
most keeniy TIE act of dissertation pro-
posed, and also because it is possible that
if the building is torn down, the materials
will be bought by northern SPECTATORS,
taken to a northern city, and put together
again for the inspection of those who are
willing to pay TO see the building. Perhaps
the city council of Richmond Will conclude
that it had better let the building alone.

Why will young men persist in making a
plaything of pistols in the presence of young
women to whom they are eng agedl Is it
because they want to impress them
with the fact that they are able
to handle and old enough to
carry pistol The other night, in West
Elizabeth, Pa, young man was killed by
the accidental discharge of his pistol. He
was visiting his sweetheart. He took the
weapon out of his pocket and handed it to
her, but she returned it to him
with the remark that she didn't care to
handle it. He snapped it several times and
gave it to her again, saying that it was
the best pistol in town, and she had held it
scarcely minute when it was discharged,
the ball entering the young mans right
lung, and killing him at once. This is not
the first instance Of the kind, and probably
it won't be the last, unless the foo Is are all
dead

Some people are concerned as to how
room will be made in tho hall of the House
Of Representatives for seats for the five
members from the new states, but they
need not be. They have seen a statement
that the hall is already so crowded that no
more seats can be added. but they do not
bear in mind that there are 334 seats on the
floor of the hall, and that the House will be
composed Of $50 congressman and five dele
gates As the speaker will have seat on
the platform, there will be just enough
desks. 1t would be interesting to know,
however, how all of the members are goin z
to be provided with seats if the representa-
ton is increased under the next apportion-
mant

An Admirable Cnster.

The people of Spaia, it is said, have q
custom of planting the seeds Of the fruits
they eat instead Of throwing them away.
As a result. the highways of that country
are lined with fruit trees. The person who
plants the seed may never partake Of the
fruit of the tree which springs from it, but
others will. The one who plants the seed
has the satisfaction Of knowing that he has
done something toward giving pleasure to
others.
The custom is a very commendable one,
aud it is to be regretted that it Is not more
general If in the south, for instance. this
custom existed, there might now be an
abundance Of fruit in localities where there
is little or none; and, besides, the custom
would be the means, doubtless, of intro
ducing new varieties Of peaches, plums,
pears, apples. oranges and other fruits.
Indeed, in this way it might be discovered
that there are fruits now found in the
south TO the growth Of which the soil and
climate of this section of country are better
adapted than are the soil and climate Of the
sections in which they are cultivated.
This is the time of year Tor planting seeds
Of fruits. All that il is necessary to do is
plant them three or four inches deep and
cover the spot with something to keep them
from being disturbed. In the spring re-
move the covering, and it will not be long
before they will sprout and young plants
will make their appearances.
When the trees are two years old
they can be transplanted If they are too
A. L III
is desired to have them elsewhere. There
need be no difficulty in finding a suitable
place for planting the seeds. Almost any
place will do, ana it will be a source of
pleasure to watch the growth of the young
trees and give them such care as they
may need.

The latest sensation in Baltimore is the
arrest of a'gentleman of that city who be-
longs to the first circles. His offense was
profanity and disturbance Of the peace, and
he was taken to the station house in a patrol
wagon. The other first circle people are
profoundly stirred because he was treated
like any other offender. Probably the po-
lice OF Baltimore have a way of treating all
Offenders alike, or probably they didn't
know who this particular one was If the
