THE PATRONAGEuUNT

It is rather amusing, if not instructive. to see the uncommon anxiety with which some of the republican states ar. disclaiming honor in the appointment oi certain unfavorite sons to office by
 President Harrison. The haste witt. which the machine in New York statt repudiated crediting Secretary Windon, and Colonel Grant to that state is dupli- cated now by the rush of Illinois anG Nebraska to deprecate the election oi Robert I. Lincoln and Patrick Egan as tributes particularly to those states.
 The choice of MT Lincoln. which the DEMOCRAT is of opinion is a thoroug hly good one, seems to have been made by the president without any consultation with the senators of Illinois, and conse- quently it may be presumed without any particular regard for their views or wishes in the premises. For this reason they are disposed to regard it in the light of an appointment that is to be charged up to President Harrisons per sonal account rather than one that is to be considered in the matter of satisfying their claims for patronage. In this posi- tion the senators are upheld by the con- gressional delegation, and presumably by the republican machine, of Illinois, and President Harrison will probably be made to understand that in apportion- ing its proper rewards to the state of Illinois other considerations than his personal wishes or views are to be con- suited. Deals have to be made, combi- nations effected and bargains consum- mated that will have tendency to keep Illinois in the republican column, and these the machine thinks it can arrange and adjust much more effectively than President Harrison can. Hence it is hat, while the appoi ntment of Robert T. Lincoln to the court of St James is not criticised by them on the score of fitness, the verdict has gone out that under no circumstances must it be con- sidered part of the patronage that be- longs to the politicians of the state.
 The case of Patrick Egan is the same. The republicans of Nebraska have en- GcTcu d pIOtcSC dSctl'SU HID being charged up to the account of their state. While Mir Egan has lived in Ne braska during portion of the six years that he has been a resident of Am erica, they claim that he has not identi- fled himself sufficiently with Nebraska interests to receive political reward to the extent of being given a position out of the state's apportionment of patronage. His appointment. if credited as part of the states share of public pap, would probably disarrange certain political schemes that the machine may always be expected to have in the incubator, and for this reason the republicans there who think that as Nebraskans and republicans they have better right to office than MT Egan are prompt to deny the presi-

MURAT HALSTEAD.

AS we stated when the name of Murat Halstead was sent to the senate as min ister to Germany, 1t seemed altogether likely that there were some chickens waiting to come home to roost in his crop. These chickens have come. On Thursday the senate, led by republican Senators Cullom and Teller, who had reason to feel particularly cut by this literary choppers blows, rejected his nomination: and though Senator Sher- man has been making most strenuous efforts to secure reversal of that action, it does not seem probable at this writing that he will succeed. at least to the ex- tent of having it done by republican votes.
 One thing is very evident in this mat ter; Murat Halstead is right, ard the republican senators are cutting very sorry figure. As an editor Mir Halstead was simply in the line of his duty i'll ex- pressing his views of these me as their conduct seemed to him to call for pub- lie laceration. Any other course would have been cowardice and treachery to his subscribers. Men who cannot brook honest criticism of their public acts, however severe that criticism may be, have no business in public life. And nobody who has watched the course of the Cincinnati Commercial Gazette and it's editor will for moment believe that MT Halstead was actuated by other than honest motives in his criticism. If he refused to be muzzled, if he refused to | remain silent even when the reputation ! of republican senators was in the bal | ance. he deserved praise rather than cen | sure for his act. The course of the re- publican senators, while it was perhaps | what might be expected, will not in ! crease public confidence or respect fo1 1 them. It will be regarded, though we
 do hope it will be ineffective, as notice
 to other editors who may have aspira
 tions for public office that there is a sa
 credness about senatorial dignity that
 must not be intruded on by criticism.
 We are glad to hear that some demo
 cratic senators are disposed to vote for l confirmation if the matter can be bought
 up again and we hope they will all throw
 cheir weight in MT Halstead's favor, They should plant both feet firmly OF
 thy effort to silence the press in its com
 ments on public matters.

THE public will be pleased to learn that Mary Anderson is regaining he, health in Philadelphia, and the hope is very general that she will soon again take her place on the boards. What ever may be thought of her merits as an actress, Mary Anderson is recognized as a true woman and one whose virtues shed luster in the profession. There are very few Mary Hndersons on the Amer ican stage, at least when it is a matter of maidenly modesty and virtue.

THE DEMON OF THE GlBBET.

Therc was no west, there was no eaG, No star abroad for eye to see; And Norman spurred his jaded beast Hard by the terrible gallows tree. 70 Norman, haste across this waste, For something seems to follow mel" "Cheer up. dear Maud, for, thanked be God, We nigh have passed the gallows tree" He kissed her lip, then spur and whip. And fast they fed across the lea; But vain the heel and rowel steel, For something leapcd from the gal!ows treel "Gvc ne your cloak, your knightly cloak, That wrapped you oft beyond the sea; The wind is bold. my bones are old, And GIn cold on the gallowS tree" 70 holy Godl o dearest Maud Quick, quick, some prayer, the best that be.

A Curious Study of Human Habit.

Why do theatre goers prefer seats on the right of the house? When you are on the street on which side of tho walk do you keep? On the right, don't you? Of course you do; and you look to the left, eh? If you don't you are different from every one else. We'll. you walk to the right and you look to tho left. Twenty-Five or thirty years of this sort of thing naturally gets one accustomed to it. Now, when you sit for two hours and half or three hours; in one position, if you have to keep your eyes to the right, you will find that it tires the muscles of the eyes quite perceptibly.- Albany Argus.

LIFE IN A BEEHIVE.
An Interesting Description of the Little
Insects and Their Habits.

Insects and Their Habits.
While in its physical makeup the
bee Is in many respects the opposite of
man. in his habits and tricks he very
much resembles the lord of creation
and were bees to be transformed into
men some would undoubtedly go into
the police force or in the board of
aldermen, where there would be not a
few successors to Jake Sharp aud to
the inexperienced young toughs who
get dubbed by the police and are then
sent up to the penitentiary for dis
honesty and general sass" The oc-
equations of walking delegate and dude
Washers are also found IN apiarian
society.
The little bee, that is the worker, is
horny skinned child of toll He is IN
cased in rings and shields of smooth
horn to shield him against attacks of
his own species, and he tolls as long as
there is light, He has not got back
bone like a man or a mule, but instead
he has little sting that serves his
purpose just rs well, and thus manages
to maintain his rights. Between his
tongue and sting there is complicated
mechanism that is of great use to the
farmer and to nature. Aside from his
honey that he distils. and which is
worth thousands of dollars annually to
the farmer and to commerce, his habit
of poking his head into flowers and
covering it with pollen, which he
brushes off in other flowers. renders
him benefactor to nature in fertiliz-
ing flowers. Before the advent of the
bee in Australia it was impossible to
get any seeds of red clover there OF
course. his process OF making hone,
might not suit the most fastidious
taste. for honey is partially digested
cane sugar. made so by the aid of bee
saliva, but as the bee is a perfectly
clean little animal that revels in nectar
all day long, these little Irregularities
must be overlooked. Besides he uses
different mouth for the honey.
The bee is a good flier, but as his
wings are smaller in proportion to his
body than are those of the eagle to the
king of birds, he has to flap them more
frequently, so he flaps away at the
rate OF 4l6 flaps to the minute. He
has no lungs, but a system of tiny air
tubes extend through all parts OF the
body. and these he packs with air
when he wants to fly. Neither has he
heart, but dorsal vessel that pumps
the blood to the head The head is
not beautiful object, and as it is not
the center of the nervous system, he
would not miss it very much if cut off
II it were not for the eyes, two of which
have 1900 lenses each to see the honey
flowers afar off, and two others to as

in the hive.
The entrances to the hive are very
carefully guarded by sentinels, and
