When AntmnIs Arc kemoyed.

When animals or plants are re-
moved from their peculiar and natural
districts to one entirely different in
climate some surprising changes take
place. AS soon as possible after such
removal they change their character
and habits so as to conform with
their new homes, or else cease to ex-
ist. A good wool l-bearing sheep trans
ferred from some northern pasture
to the topics changes his coat to
thin covering Of struggling hairs
scarcely resembling wool; the Cog be-
comes destitute Of hair altogether,
and even bees cease to lay up their
stores CT honey and in great meas
ure lose their industrious habits. -

When the body Of Walker Blaine lay

from the plot is to the northeast, and
within it's range lie Sheridan circle and

Gov. Mckinley evidently finds It hard
to appreciate the wisdom OF the song
which reiterates the virtues Of "a TINA
for disappearing. But his recent re-
appearance in speech before the Ohio
Wool Growers association certainly
has not created anything like enthusi-
asm among republicans. His advice to
the wool growers to continue the bat
tie for the right" to levy tribute on
consumption, and his declaration that
he had mot lost courage" and did mot
believe in giving up the fght after one
engagement, have fallen fat upon his
party.

POLITICAL PREFERMENT.
Iiarrison's Censurable appointment G
lltS prixnte Secretary,

IIarrison's Censurable Appointment Of
Ills Private Secretary,
The president has nominated his pri-
vate secretary, Mr.. Elijah W. Iialford,
to he major and paymaster in the
United States army. Mr.. Ilalford's
personal popularity and atfaoility to-
ward all those who have had relations
with him will doubtless check much
of the censure which the nomination
will provoke, but the fact will remain
that the appointment IS one of the
most censurable of President Harri-
sons acts Should Mr.. Halford accep pt
the appointment, the public will not
fail TO contrast, to his discredit, his
conduct with that OF Col. d. S. La
mont, who declined to accept an in
crease OF salary as private secretary at
the close of the last democratic admin
stration.
The appointment of a civilian to the
coveted post of major and paymaster
does great injustice to all the officers
Of lower rank in the army. BY this
act OF political favoritism, officers who
served bravcly and honorably through
out the civil war are deprived Of
the promotion which they have
looked to for years The military
service OF the United States does not
offer many attractions for ambitious
young men. and promotion in it is OF
necessity very slow, Whenever the
appointing power, therefore, goes out
Of the line of promotion and into poliL
ical life to fill desirable army posi-
ton it impairs the morale and eff
cheney Of the service and affords just
ground for complaint. One of the
most creditable features Of President
Cleyeland's former administration wa.
his rigid adherence to the rule of pro-
motion in the army and hi, refusal,
often under conditions that were ex'
tremcly trying, to select civilians fol
desirable army offices. That policy
was appreciated and approved by the
army which felt its beneficial effects.
1t was indorsed by every right'thinli-
ing civilian who desires that the army
be made as efficient as possible and be
kept clear OF politics.
President Harrison has made very
bad mistake in choosing a civilian fol
army paymaster, even though the mar
be personally so unobiectionable as Mr.
Halford. The appo. ntment never shoult
have been made. Albany Argus.
