other Attempts ReoniIed.

The baltimore American says regarding
the alleged plot to capture Mr.. Robert
Garrett and party: "The plot to capture
Mr.. Garrett recalls a similar scheme Of the
Arizona cowboys to make prisoner of ex-
President Hayes and General Sherman
when they were swinging around the circle
toward the close Of Mr.. Hayes term. 1t
was currently reported at the time that the
capture Of the distinguished travellers was
to be attempted while they were staging
that portion Of the route between Deming,
New Mexico, and the terminus Of the
Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad,
which at that time had not been completed.
The report OF the plot having come to the
knowledge Of the Presidents friends, they
at once applied for and received an escort

"The Title Nonsense"
Z WASHINGTON, March 27.--Editur Critic.
In treating on this subjects a writer in the
Post short time ago contended, II my
memory serves me, that all titles should be
ignored. AS q general rule, / should be
willing to have almost everybody addressed
as plain "Mister," but there are occasions,
not infrequently, when the title Of ssIIonor-
able, Esquire" ETC., is very necessary in
addressing letter In order to secure proper
delivery. For instance, there ia John
Brown, who, according to recognized GUS
tom, is entitled to be addressed as "Honor-
able," and there is another gentleman OF
the same name and place who never
thought of being addressed otherwise than
IS 'Mister." In case like this, where is
the objection to giving the flrst-named the
title which he is supposed to have fairly
and honorably earned' OF course, no one
should be addressed by any title which is
not his acknowledged right agreeably to
custom. It is a pity some plan could not
have been devised to avoid the confusion
by the mixing of doctors, and the same with
regard TO professors. We have M. DIS,
d. DPS and LII. DIS, but no way to dis.
tinguish one from the other unless &C.

yEsTERDAY,s NoMINArIoNs.

The Presidential nominations sent to
the Senate yesterday were such as will
bring no discredit upon the Administra-
lion, and such as, from political point
Of view, were, perhaps, the wisest that
could have been made. Robert Lincoln
will not make such Minister to Eng
land as did either Lowell or Phelps, but
n patriotic sentiment attaches to the
name he is fortunate enough to wear,
and the nomination throughout the
country will be generally approved.
Robert Lincoln is perhaps more his
mothers than his fathers son, but that
the average man outside Of Chicago
does not know. He will not make q
bad representative abroad. OF the other
nominations 1t may be said that they
were admirable in every way.
President Harrison shows daily that
he is the Administration. He pursues
the one course he deems right and does
not appear so much swayed by advice,
good or bad, as many an other Presi-
dent has been. II his strength of
character was at any time doubted that
impression has been removed.

alN,Rs. uARnIsoN,s sERvANrs.

Our esteemed contemporary, the New
York Herald, attempts indirectly to
make political capital out of the fact
that Mrs. Harrison has discharged the
colored servants at the White House
and replaced them with white servants,
The Herald should stay its vandal hand.
This sort of thing is purely domestic
and has absolutely nothing to do with
politics nor the relation of the Republi-
can party, socially or otherwise, with
the colored people. 1t is nothing more
than the assertion of woman's SUI
premacy in her own house, and the
Herald or no other man certainly has
no right TO Interfere with her. That's
one place at least where man has given
woman about all the rights she wants.
II is very easy to understand, too,
why Mrs. Harrison should prefer white
servants. She is a purely North
ern woman, and, as q rule, Northern
women are not accustomed to colored
help and do not like it, Nor do colored
servants like Northern mistresses, and
almost invariably will they leave North
en families to go to those from the
South. Excellent servants in Southern
families are often almost worthless in
Northern families, and no good reason
can be given for 1t. Frequently the
emIse is that the Northern mistress re-
quires greater activity and tidiness in
her servants, but this does not always
hold, for The Southern mistress is often
very exacting.
There is very nice ethnologic point
involved In this peculiar relation of the
negro TO the whites in America. For
instance, in the old times negro slave.
while In the abstract be might admire
the Massachusetts Abolltiouist and
thoroughly appreciate what he Mas do

AN ILLINOIS CASE.

The State Medical Board of Illinois,
or whatever may be the title of the
body there which regulates the standing
of physicians. lately proposed to deprive
of his diploma doctor who advertised.
He appealed to the courts, and the cap
tious board has been set down upon
with great emphasis.
There is great deal Of nonsense in
any endeayor to still maintain what was
at one time the ethics of the medical
profession. Conditions have changed.
and the needs of physicians have
changed AS knowledge has increased
in the profession its members have de-
voted themselves to the study Of special
diseases, and no one man assumes to be
equal TO any other In the treatment o
any sort Of case. The necessity for
some sort of advertising is greater than
1t was at one time, and common law
of trade is exerting itself. To maintain
the dignity of profession is good
thing, TO be hypocritical as to wha
affects that dignity is another,

A spirit communication through an Indiana
medium with the late Thomas Hendricks

HeaYen.-l WASHINGTON Critic.
As Mr.. Hendricks lived a conscientious,
honorable and upright life in this world,
and as he was member in good standing
of the Protestant Episcopal Church, 1t re-
quires no spirit medium TO establish the
probability that he is happy In the other
world.
