Mr. Halstead's newspaper is trying to raise a row in the R3publican party. Thereby it gives those Rapublican senators who opposed his nomination an excuse for their action much stronger tfian the one they had. If as Republicans they made a mistake, his Republican ^newspaper is making a bigger one.

Meanwhile, the rest of the party is down on both sides. The party is bigger than -1 any or all of them.

THE LIBERTY OF THE PRESS.

1 nr. EXPRESS is pleased to see that J^-thal portion of the press of the country alarmed lest the senate would impose a censorship on its utterance or curtail its J,' liberty is coming to its better senses, ftAnd, strangely enough, one of the first ,to do so is the Commercial-Gazette, Mr.

Halstead's paper. Mr. Richard. Smith, Mr. Halstead's partner, sends a dispatch 'from New Y'ork which is published over -his initials and in which we find the folil/lowiug

There Is another editor here who was more unfortunate than Mr. Halstead. He was confirmed. I refer to Mr. Wliltelaw Reld, editor and chief owner of the Tribune. He occupies a leading position, and now, for the sake of being minister to France, he accepts a subordinate position. This also affects the Independence of his paper.

In other words, Mr. Halstead's acceptance of the Berlin mission would have infringed on the liberty of the prees? The St. Louis Globe-Democrat of yesterday says:

The silence of the New ^ork Tribune concerning the senate's rejection of Mr. Halstead Is the best evidence thai the way to muzzle a newspaper Is to appoint its editor to an important position. Mr. Whltelaw Reld, having been favored with confirmation, does not feel at liberty to discuss the cause of his less fortuuate brother In Journalism, The Tribune has sold itself at a low price, but not at a cheap price, because it has long ceased to be a factor In the formation of or guidance of public opinion In this country.

There is cause for rejoicing at this realization of the true position of the press. Tbe old time idea that the editor was an object of charity or derision and

which led to the rejoicing that he had 1 oeen recognized as fit for positions usually given to politicians has met with rejection along with the rejection of Mr. Halstead and if for no other rea |i, son this latter result is not altogether a deplorable event.

THE FEDERAL ELECTION INDICTMENTS.

Judge Solomon Claypool of Indianap olis is evincing a suspicious amount of zeal, through the newspapers, to convict S some one for election frauds. Judge I Claypool brought down on himself the 1 merciless abuse of his party friends for the part he took in the prosecution of trod Sullivan, the latter spitig in his face at a time when name of Sullivan was recognized

*•-^1

that of the leader of the Democracy of Marion councy. In the course of time LWD Bailey, whose participation in the prosecution of these tally-sheet forger* was forbidden because of hi* well known affiliation with the accused, manipulated a grand jury and secured the return of more than one hundred indictments against Republicans for alleged offenses last November against the election laws. When theee indictments were turned Judge Solomon Clay pool was acting district attorney of the United States. Jadge Claypool was urged to continue in charge of the prosecution of these cases. He declined, and when he had stepped out of office of his own volition he began his newspaper, party warfare.

We siibmit that hi places himself in an attitude by which he raises the suspicion that he is now striving to regain party favor lost by the part he took in the prosecution of the Coy gang. The indictments against Republicans are not only based on trivial offenses, but are so drawn that they can not stand the test of legal opposition. This, too, is a suspicious circumstance and with much else goes to confirm the impression that the whole effort on the part of l&e district attorney's office after the Democratic defeat last November was to furnish a semblance" of proof of the assertion that tbe party was not defeated in a square and fair contest, but by corrupt means. All things point to this conclusion, and none more so than the columns of newspaper prosecution on the part of one who talks loudly of what it was possible to prove in court but who refused to prove it.

AN HONORABLE ROBBER.

In one of the rooms of a fashionable club, located in the upper part of the city, a party of eight gentlemen warn seated around a table, in the center oC which was a hnge bowl of punch, while glasses filled with tbe tempting beverage reposed before each guest, while tbe smoke of as many fragpnt cigars almost obscured the incandescent lights which shone from a handsome chandelier overhead.

The time was New Year's eve, and the party had gathered together to ucher the old year oat and the new one in, as had been their custom for many yean

'*At the heEd of the table sat a gentleman a little past the prime of life, his dark hair plentifully sprinkled with grey, and a look about his handsome oe that denoted reeoluteness and determination.

Mirth and good nature had been the order of the evening, but as the midnight hour approached a sort of hash had fallen upon the company.

During this temporary silence Mark Lennon, the gentleman referred to, raised his head and remarked slowly "Somehow, the light of that bowl of purich reminds me of a New Year's eve which I passed twenty-five years ago to-night."

At this remark the rest of the company settled themselves. back in their chairs and prepared themselves to hear the narrative which they felt would be forthcoming. "I was then a'young man, but recently married," continued Mr. Lennon, "had a comfortable home and was doing well in business, when a crisis precipitated by the war caused me to fail. "All that I possessed in the world went to satisf} my creditors, and with the few dollars that remained I came to New York City, took a floor in a tenement house, and started to retrieve my lost fortune. "I assure you it was decidedly uphill work. I tramped the streets daily in search of employment, only to return at nightfall, tired and disheartened. Our little stock of money was exhausted, and the day before New Year's found

without a bite to eat in the house, eveiy marketable article sold or pawned, and the prospect of being dispossessed for non-payment of rent staring us in the face. "By dint of earnest pleading with the butcher I persuaded him to let us have sufficient meat for our breakfast, which, being disposed of and a trifle left for my wife's dinner, I prepared to start forth on my daily search. "Somehow I made up my mind that I would not return to the house emptyhanded, even if robbery was necessary, for the sight of my poor wife's uncomplaining face was driving [me distracted. "Assuming a cheerful air, which I was far from feeling, I spoke hopefully of some vague promise made me the day before, and bade my wife put the pot on to boil in time for supper, which I would bring the materials for home with me. "Night found me as usual, unsuccessful in my quest for work, and I should have returned home were it not for the memory of my parting injunction to my wife to 'have the pot boiling when I came back.' temp* to beg, but

streets, meditating on

some wild, reckless plan for procuring money. The only one which seemed feasible was to way-lay some passer-by and commit highway robbery. "The footfalls of pedestrians grew fewer and fewer, and I was suddenly made aware of the lateness of the hour by the ringing of bells and the whistles of distant boats ushering in the new year. "I was just turning into Broadway from an uptown street when, by the aid of a near by lamp post. I saw a gentleman coming toward me. "He was clad in full evening dress, and. despite the cold weather, was dragging his overooat along the ground, holding it by the collar. His high hat was set rakishly on the back of his head, while his uncertain steps and maudlin voice chanting a drinking song proclaimed the fact that h« was cheerfully and hopelessly drunk. "As he came opposite to me he stopped his song, and with a wild drunken whoop whirled his overcoat in the air ana brought it down upon my head, saying in hiB drunken way: 'Whoop! Wish her hap' N'Year.' "The force of the blow drove my hat over my eyeB, and staggered me so that I slipped on an icy spot and fell. With a howl of triumph at the success of his joke, the drunken man staggered away, leaving me prostrate on the pavement, almost stunned by the fall. "When I recovered I was about to run after him to avenge the blow, when I caught sight of several letters scattered on the sidwalk, and just within the circle of light cast by the street lamps a substantial-looking wallet met my eyes. "In an instant I had gathered up the letters and pocket-book and was hurrying down aside street intent on reaching some secluded spot where I could examine my 'find' at leasure. "In waving his coat in the air before striking me with it the contents of his pockets must have been tossed out, but, elated at the success of his prank, he had not noticed his loss. "It was many blocks away before I paused under a street lamp and read the address on one of the letters. It was that of a well known club-man, whose wealth was only exceeded by his wild' ness, and whose escapades were the theme of many a newspaper article. "I next drew forth the wallet, listening anxiously for the sound of approaching footsteps, and feeling very much like a common thief. One glance sufficed to show me a roll of bills, and without stopping to count them, I fairly flew for my home, reaching there in about a half hour. "As I entered the room the first thing that caught my eye was the pot boiling away merrily on the stove, while a short distance away my wife was fast asleep in a chair,"exhausted by her patient vigil. Without awakening her I slipped out to a nearby restaurant, which kept open all night, and soon after, staggering under the weight of a tray full of dishes, and arousing my wife, we were shortly discussing a bountiful repast. "I accounted for my long absence by saying that I had procured work which kept me until a late hour, net saying a word to her about my find. "While waiting in the restaurant for the food to be prepared, I had taken the opportunity to count my treasure, unobserved, and found that I was the possessor, lawfully or otherwise, of nearly $200. "The dawn of the new year seemed to bring a change of fortune to me. I suc-

The coloring and deoorating of Easter eggs is a pleasant employment for young people, aays the American Agriculturist. It allows a great exercise of taste and ingenuity, and prettily decorated eggs make a nice Easter favor to send a friend instead of the more common card. Beautiful and really artistic results can be achieved with little money and the exercise of taste, care, and patienoa. The first step is usually to boil the' eggs hard. They should be put on in cold water, which should be allowed to come to a boil gradually then the eggs must be removed. A disregard of this precaution is apt to result in cracked and broken shells. Another way is to make a s*nall hole in each end of the egg with a slender darning needle and blow the contents out. Theee egg-shells are much more delicat9 and easily broken than the first mentioned. Still another method is to remove the contents and fill the shell with liquid plnster-of-paris, which soon hardenB and makes a very substantial egg. The plaster ehould be mixed with water until it runa easily. If, after some plaster is run in the shell, a few shot are added, the egg will always maintain an upright position.

The most simple way to color eggs is to

Bew

ribbon or calico that will fade

around them and boil a few minutes. The skins of dark red onions will color beautiful shades of yellow brown. Tuci will give shades of crimson, light or dark, according to the length of time the eggs are left in the dye. Indigo diesolved in water to which oxalic aoid is added in the proportion of a teaspoonful to a quart of the dye, givee a pretty blue. Names, dates and figures can be put on eggs after they are dyed, by tracing the letters or figures with a fine brush or a pen dipped in oxalic acid. To tint eggs any shade, use oil paints of

careful to take'only .a small quantity at a time on the dauber. Any one who knows how to paint can decorate these tinted eggs very handsomely by putting on each some appropriate design or motto. For a blue egg a cluster of liliee of the valley or snowdrops are charming. Another very suggestive design is a leafless branch with a crysalis attached and the released butterfly hovering near. It is wise to choose irregular letters for the mbtto gold or bronze paint can be used effectively in putting them on. Eggs left uncolored and a simple deeign -painted on the shell are quite satiafactory. A variety can be made by selecting light and dark colored eggs and different sizes from the large egg of the goose to the tiny one of the bantam

itr Wlatersaitn Peliwes fsi lecUaae About Washtogtoa. One afternoon, a few daya after the inauguration of Harriaon, Dick Wintersmith, an old gentleman full of reoolleotiona about Waahington. was atanding on the grounde in front of the White houar, aaya the Chiosgo Times. "I have been looking," he said, when he waa disturbed in his reverie, "at that magnificent tree. But for an American citizen, who had the nerve to face# preeident and oorrect him,that tree would not be atanding to-day. When old Zaeh Taylor was preeident he had a Vayof wandering about the White house and grounds at pleasure. There were not ao many people about then aa now. A preeident waa not eo much of a curioaity. After the day's work was over and the callers had gone, old Zach usfd to come down to the front door and ehew tobacco and expectorate on the atone atepa. It waa the only time when he could enjoy a chew anmoleeted. He would stand in tin doorway for an hour, aometimee, chewing and apitting, taking a fresh chew every few minutes. Of course, he spat on the stepe and threw the quids all over them. On one occaaioh the Help, whose duty it waa to clean up the stepe the first thing in the morning, failed to show up, alp the visitors at the White hbuse were shocked to see the tobacco quida on the threehold.' One of Zaoh'a cabinet, Who knew him intimately, called his attention to the habit and. said people wete talking about it. Zach said he would quit it, and he did. A few nights later tins same member of the cabinet went over to the White house after the closing hour and found old Zach sitting on a chair in front of thia very tree. It waa young and very small at the time. Old Zach waa indulging in his pastime—chewing and spitting. A 1 of tobacco juice had formed at the of the tree. The cabinet officer, who had broken up the front door habit, was out of patience. 'See here, Zach,' said he, don't you know you will kill that tree by spitting your juice sgainat it in that way? You ought to know better than that. If you can't quit thia filthy habit, why don't you go down in the back end of the lot?" "Old Zach got up and replied in his rough, soldierly way: 'What in hell am I president for if I can't do as I please? I spit on the steps of the mansion and you said the people would talk about me if I didn't quit it. I came out here in the front yard and you say I will kill the trees. Now you want me to go down to the back end of the lot and spit there. If I can't spit where I please'I won't spit at all,' and he walked into the houee in a huff. If he had had his way there wouldn't be a tree on these grounds 1"

The reason is that the hunting country around the city is greater in extent and more prolific in fur-bearing animals than probably all the balance of the South put together.
