 Tt is surprising that the nomination of w. D. Bynum to be a commissioner for codifying the laws was confirmed by the United States Senate apparently without a real contest on the part of the Democrat ic Senator's" said a Cleveland Democrat last night. 'The President nominated Mir Bynum as a Democrat, as provided by law, to succeed the late David B. Culberson, Democrat, but certainly this is not now Democrat in the party sense. Apart from Bynums rebellion agahst his party in 1896, he subsequently, made Republican speeches in the West and was everywhere regarded as having finally become Re publican and this year he supported the Presidential ticket of the Republicans. Therefore it was not only false to say that he was a Democrat, named to fill a place made by law for a Democrat but to credit his appointment to the Democratic party is a wrong and needless offence to Democrats generally. It is consequently very surprising that Democratic Senators per mitted him to be confirmed as a Democrat ic appointee of the Republican President
 We have got nothing now to do with the revolt in the Democratic party in 1896; but Bynum kept up his revolt. and actual

 "Palsied be the tongue of every whistler!' said a sufferer as an ugly, tobacco-eating person passed back and forth through the lobby trying to whistle an air of the slums. '"Palsied be every tongue that whistles, say I!'' the man said again with emphasis. "It has been my impression always that every refined and cultured mother taught her little son that whistling was inexcusa- bly, vulgar, and perhaps that impression was true maybe is true; for a boy has no more right of decency to go through the streets whistling than he has to appear there without trousers. Whistling boys and men, those who whistle indoors or out to the annoyance and disturbance of reputable men and women, working women and men. may be said to belong to the class called gents who wear pants In my early child hood, which was not much over score of years ago, if the mother or father of a boy who was born in refinement discov- cred the youngster in the act of whistling that boy would be promptly spanked, or padded. as the popular phrase ran; and as for girls-the nursery rhyme of the old black nanny was
 "A wtnstlin' gal and erowin' hen
 Nebber come to no good end
 Nowadays, when ill-bred boys are the rule, and ill-bred men abound. the hideous noise of whistling Is incessant We hear it everywhere and all the time, and very frequently from small boys whose dress would indicate that they are of respectable families; whilst it is common enough to see men whistling who appear to have bathed themselves and changed their linen within six or seven weeks at most.
 If were an employer of labor, young or old male or female, I would hire nobody addicted to the whistling habit; I'd rather have habitual liquor-guzzlers or even ci- garette-smekers.'
