THE recent announcement-since cor
rected-that the president did not intend
to appoint any newspaper men to office
has, of course, attracted a great deal OF
attention and been made the subject Of
many entertaining jests. The Brooklyn
Eagle gives some space to q more serious
consideration of it, and among other
things says:
There are thousands OF country news
paper men seeking 20 exc out an adequate
income from petty but respectful e sheets
by obtaining little places. There are tens
of thousands of harder henchmen who
are seeking the same places n result
OF their success IN making politics indis-
tinguishabie from crime. The choice
between them is obvious and should
not he difficult. This 10 a phase of
the subject which the great editors
and the great journals should not lose in
supercilious concentrations, or in SUPER
fine and ETHEREAL theories of treatment.
So long as government is run by parties,
parties will be run by organ cations. That
long, too. the cause and case of parties
will be forwarded by workers" and by
putting workers" in places. Among
such workers" country journalists are
better in character and Abilities than the
brass-throated mschinists who compete
with them.
There is a great deal of truth in this
view of the matter. II any class of men
fight the battles of party, the newspaper
men do, and when there is a chance to
give them a lift by an office that they can
creditabiy fill they certainly deserve con-
sideration. To bar a man from office on
account OF his profession would hardly be
consistent with NJ aricnn ideas

LONDON, March 22.-The great an

Oxford and Cambridge boat race, TOOK
place to-day on the Thames.
The course was that historic stretch
OF water between Putney and Mortlake,
which measures approximately four and
quarter miles. This was the gala
occasion on which the annual craze In
London known as the "blue fever"
reaches its annual climax. Every one
of the enthusiastic thousands who lined
each bank OF the river sported the color

of oxford or the lighter tint affected oy
the admirers OF Cam bridge.
The American colony was plentifully
represented and with reason; for II
Cambridge won she would certainly be
represented at the International regat-
Ia in America this year and II Oxford
won there was strong possibility that
the dark blHes would also bend their
backs and strain their muscles to win
new laurels on the America side OF the
water. The great struggle was the
fiftieth in the history OF the
rival Universities. The victories
Of Cambridge aggregated % in 1850,
since which the wearers OF the light
blue have failed to improve their posi-
ton. The only tie in the history OF
the race occurred in 1887, when seven
of the oxford crew cOntrived TO hold
their rivals to the finish, after the bow
oar broke opposite the White Hart
Barnes. Precisely ten years ago No. Z
in the Oxford crew broke his oar under
Barnes's bridge and Cambridge secured
an unexpected win by two lengths.
The rivals peeled for the honor OF their
colleges as follows:
