AS to Appointments.

In regard to appointments the Demo
Gratis here seem to be in a condition Of
confusion worse confounded" First
there is the collectorship, a very nice
plum, for which several good and true
WatertOwn Democrats have been
named, among them Assemblyman c..
Ell. Jacob and Brother Moritz Blumen-
field, of The Weltbuerger. 1t is said
that the appointment of Mr.. Jacob
was settled upon last winter during the
legislative period, and just why there
should be any hitch in the matter is
not clear to everybody, to say the
least. Morrow, of Sparta, is also an
rounced for the office of collector, and
lately the name of Fay, of The Madison
Democrat, is brought forward. Col
lector Rogers time has meanwhile ex-
pired, but it is reported that the ap-
pointment of his successor is put over
until the special meeting of congress
next month. 1t is no secret that DIR.
G. R. Field and Mr.. jacob were candi-
dates for the consulate at Munich, but
whether the gentlemen can now be
considered in the race for a position
abroad is not SO certain. For stamp
agent the names of D. III. Beurhaus
and G. R. Blumenfeld are whispered,
and Fred Lehman has been mentioned
for the deputy collectorship. Some
are willing to bet that the postmaster
ship is not settled thing yet and that
there is bound to be a counter move
ment for the Office. But there may be
the same foundation for this as for
number of other things heard. The
guagership seems to be held in reserve
to heal up some sore spot with. The
last congress robbed this position of
what little strength or consideration it
ever possessed.

The Scotch Highlander of To-Day.

A great deal has been written about
the characteristics of the Highland race,
especially by the modern novelists, who
have found in him most useful staff
age" upon which to hang their romantic
ideas. But the picture of the Highland
er as given in the novels is not true one
and after all there cannot be very much
said of the race except that it is faithful
and loyal to it's chiefs, and was in past
years always noted for its fine physique
and its bravery. The Highlander is not
to be confounded with the Scotchman,
for he belongs to different and distinct
race, and the men who have made Scot
land great are generally not of Highland
origin.
With the changing hands of SO many
of the great estates owing to the impover-
ishment of the proprietors, through the
adjustment in rents and the shrinkage
of farm values, the feudal element of de-
votion to the lords is gradually dying
out in the Highlands, and his attri butte
of faithful devotion is now found only in
traditions of the last century. In many
places the Laird is decidedly unpopular,
she is often either a newcomer or has be-
come too impoverished to do anything
more than keep up appearances, and can
consequently do nothing for the clan.
Again, in the case of many of the princi-
pal families death has within the past
few years removed the succession from a
well beloved direct line into a hardly
known and unpopular side line, and the
result is thatsin many cases the proprie-
tors either haven't the Gaelic or else
hardlysknow their people. A glance at
the list of names in this years. Sports
mans Guide" shows many. proprietors
who are not of Highland origin, and
many who are women toward whom
there can be, of course, no clan feeling !"
The Highlander of today is man who
has but little left to commend him to a
progressive age except his picturesque
appearance. AS a result of the conditions
in which he finds himself, the Gaelic
language, which, like all Languages ac-
quired Solely through speaking, IS rich
chiefly in tradition, only serves to accen-
tuate and develop his less desira bic
characteristics, and to make him look
with more than his usual distrust upon
his notwithstanding neighbors
As long as the Gaelic continues to be
the recognized language of the people,
| Just so long must, in my judgment, the
Highlanders remain rude and barbaric
people, enjoying few or none of the COM
forts of modern civilization: for the
tongue is sort of secret bond which
ties them together after the manner of
the mysteries of the "Rosenkranzl err in
Germany during the 18th century, and
prevents them from assimilating modern
ideas and thought, and as result the
| intellectually vigorous alone acquire the
| English to therexclusion of the Gaelic,
and they, not content with the rudeness
of their surroundings, wander off and
seek their fortunes in foreign lands
| Just SO long as Gaelic continues to
be spoken just SO long will race prejudice
| and bitterness exist in the hearts of the
Highland people, for it forms an i'm
passable line between them and the
broader civilization OF the Lowlands.
