Mr.. Cleveland, contrary to the announce.

Mr. Cleveland, contrary to the announce
ment that no editors need apply, has re-
membered quite number in various parts
of the country Two editors were the first
to receive Presidential recognition in Mary
land. and the editor of the Indianapolis
Sentinel has been appointed Consult General
TO Paris. Editors have no claim to prece-
dence, but should stand upon equal footing
with other classes of citizens. They have
not been 50 placed heretofore-in fact have
generally been passed by in tbe distribution
OF good things and it is gratifying 10 the
press that the present Administration has
recognized that editors are citizens entitled
TO consideration.

Let the work of retrenchment 90 on until
the strietest economy consistent with eff

mental expenditures. No more navy is
needed, river and harbor improvements
ought to be curtailed and the pension rolls
purged Of every person not entitled to gov

President Cleveland nominated Hon.
Thomas F. Bayard to be Ambassador to
England on Thursday, and the Senate con-
frmed the nomination at once, without re-
ference. No better selection could have
been made. Mr. Bayard's long service as
Senator and four years as Secretary of
State, together with his great ability and
conservatism, equip him for the place as
few other of our statesmen are.

Francis NJ. Bowie, a prominent farmer of
Prince Georges county. Maryland, was muir
dered on Sunday night last. Mr. Bowie on
the Saturday previous mad employed strange
negro man TO work on his farm and told him
TO be on hand early the next day. Between
4 and p. N. on Sunday Mr.. Bowie gave
orders in regard to some work. looked at his
watch and started for distant part of the
farm. That was the last seen of him alive.
Not returning at bedtime his family became
alarmed at his absence and word was sent TO
some n ighbors, bot they had not seen any,
thing of him. A searching party formed and
the marks of scuffle were discoved but no
traces of Mr. Bowels whereabouts were
found. On Monday the search was renewed
and his body was found in the bottom OF
we'll Upon examination his skull was iound
TO have been mashed, his Jaw broken and
there were bruises around the throat and
breast. His watch and pocket book and some
papers were not III the pockets, and the CLOTH
ing was torn. Ii was evident that he had
been attacked from the rear. In the mean
time the absence OF the newly hired negro
had been overlooked, and not until some one
made mention of the fact that he was absent
was il noticed. A search was instituted but
MS he was only known to a few OF the other
hands it will be a difficult matter to identity
him if captured.
Mr.. Bowie EARNED over 900 acres and was
one of the most progressive citizens OF the
county. He leaves wife and eight children,
and a large family connection. No cause is
assigned for the bloody deed except robbery.
Last December an attempt was made to burn
his residence Leaves and other material
we're piled against the building, saturated with
coal oil and fired Fortunately Mrs, Bowie
smelt the burning oil and gave the alarm IN
time to save the building.
