“Turn the Rascals Out!!” The appointment of Gen. W. S. Rosecrans, u£ Californ a, *s Register of the Treasury, i.s a commendable one. Our neighbor should howl himself hoarse over tae deposition of his negro rfiend* Our neighbor would prefer that the rascals be kept in. They have the conscience’, the ability, the meanness, and would be situ-t----ed to accomplish a vast amount of ‘dirt’ in the interest of the Republican party..

An aged minister in Pottstown, Pa., has been asked to resign by his Republican congregation because in a sermon to the Grand Army he said that the war lasted three years longer than it should have done. His hearers evidently thought that the war oug L . tto have lasted up to the present day. • *-

In the discussion of “protection and high wages” the editor of “The Million” says: “Suppose it to be true —as it is not—that protection makes high wages. For whom does it make'them? For those laboring in the so-called protected industries—certainly for none others. How many are there of this class? Not to exceed 700,000—probably not over 500,000. — How many ia the country are engaged in ‘gainful occupations?’—

Something over 16,000,000. Then, to secure one man higher wages, not less than twenty are obliged to part with no inconsiderable share of their earnings. There can be no justice in this. Much worse is the fact that all the cry about high wages is a farce; and the twenty men contribute simply to increase the profits of the mast r of labor.’

Senator Collum, of 111., makes no concealment of the intention of Republican Senator’s to fight the President’s appointments. He was asked the question in Chicago recently: “Are the Republicans going to fight the confirmation of Cleveland’s appointees where Republicans have been removed?” - To which he replied: “Fight them ? Of course. The Government has made a con tract with those men for four years, and they are entitled to its benefits. That is my individua opinion. I would rather have [friends of mine turned out because they are Republicans and have their places filled with other men because they are Democrats, than on this silly patent phrase that they have been ‘offensive partisans.’ We fought the campaign

on civil service reform, that men who had faithfully performed their official duties should he retained, and I believe in sticking to it.”— “Where the appointee is not confirmed who will have the office?”— “The man who has been removed will slide back into the p'ace. This is the opinion of many of the ablest lawyers in the Senate.” The man who has been removed will have a happy time in “sliding back into the place.” He will get tired of “sliding” when he finds he is getting no pay for it. The man who is not confirmed will get the salary, while the other fellow will do “the sliding.”—lndianapolis Sentinel. And then again, we think the “backslider” will not do any “sliding back with the order of ‘sus - pensi :n or ‘removal’ unrevokeds while the ‘unc infirmedj may remain in peaceable possession until his successor is appointed,- which may be postponed to a very remote period.
