Now tiiat the Chicago Fostcfhcs will E03n go into Democratic hands, let us hope that MIts Sweet will be succeeded at an early day by Mrs. Mulligan in the Internal Revenue Collectorshlp. That Chisago Poatofiice appointment Eeems to have struck the Republican editors squarely between the eyes. Do they continue to be of the opinion that Mr. Cleveland is "a good enough Republican" for them? Tue railway people have Investigated the story of the pistol shooting at the Presidential train the other day on its way to Gettysburg. By this it is shown conclusively that the shot was fired by a passenger on the train, who wanted to empty the barrels of a email pocket pistol he carried. The name and residence of the gentleman and all details are given, thus bringing to aa inglorious ending this eilly sensation. It should also be pointed to the fact that Mr. Phelps staus that a jury, after a full and fair trial, decided that there was no "swindle" in the Emma Mine affair, and, therefore, all the fine Democratic denunciation of Minister Sehende was as utterly baseless as most of the Democratic ca:npiiga charges and cries have been proved to be. Journal. And, therefore, all the fine Republican denunciation of Minister Phelps was as utterly baseless as all of the Republican ante and post campaign charges and cries have been proved to be. Mr. Hisdricxs was in Philadelphia last "Wednesday, and a special from that city sajs: 'Vice President Hendricks, who arrive ! here to-night, said that he could hold out no hope to such Democrats of the country as are anxious for a general and rapid change in the civil service of tho country. The situation, he said, in which the Democratic party finds Itself with the advent of this administration is exception, and the expectations of reward for party ervice that might have been realized four or eight years ago can not be gratified now. The sentiment of the country seems favorable to the policy that has been adopted by Mr. Cleveland, and It seems doubtful if any other could be followed for the future gooi of the party. It meets with the accord of the wisest counsellors of the Demccratic party, and in time the great masses of tbe party will adopt a similar view. Mr. Hendricks gees from here to New York." Not a member of the administration, however. s in Gettysburg in l?-3. It i3 a Ealer and more congenial place lor them In ltS5. The above is an extract from a batch of twath that a Washington correspondent of a Bourbonizd blocdy shirt orgsn sent to his home organ just after the recent visit of President Cleveland to the Gettysburg battle-field. The correspondent says ''not a rr, ember of the administration was in Get tyaburg in 1SG3." In all probability this can te eaid of all the administrations to come. Of what importance is it? Was there any member of Grant's Cabinet at Gettysburg in 1SG.I, or any member of that of Garfield or Hayes? Longstreet was there i 1503, and Le was a member of Hajes' administration, representing it at a foreign court Tbe rebel General Key, one of the Haves Cabinat, If not at Gettysburg, was somewhere in the rebel army in the year 1SGZ. Moseby wi probably hovering

roond Gettysburg in 1BG3, guerilla like, on the flanks of the Union army, but in 185 he still holds a commission given him by a Hepublican administration to an important Consulate. This Washington correspondent should lid himself of his venom.

Mimstsp. Kiilsy sailed for Europe yesterdsy. The Chicago Pcatomca change cams just in time to secure a continuous wail from the organs. "Who says that the President is not kind to his enemies? He heaps coals ot fire on them. THE CHICAGO POSIOFFICE Ol course the organs will sputter and roar and squeal and swear over the change in the Chicago Postcffice. They were about settling to the belief that the Republican party hal a lien on the administration of the Government, and that Mr. Cleveland would not dare to mate many changea. They would suffer him to occupy the White House tor four years if he would behave himself. The appointment pf Mr. J add has created an unmistakable sensation, and the Republicans want to know where the brick came from that struck Mr. Palmer, the Republican Incumbent. "Mr, Palmer's removal," said a member of the Cabinet, "will be a summary notice to other gentlemen holding Federal positions that their lease of official life is intended to bs very short in all cases where thsy have been anilty of what is termed 'offensive partisanship. Offensive partisanship is the ground upon which the Postmaster General based Mr. Palmers removal." What is the opinion of the Postmaster General concerning ths change? "We proceeded very slowly in the matter," a'd Mr. Vilas. "Ih3 manag3Eient of the office was faultless. There was no trouble in that respect. It is tho second largest in the country, and it is In every way fully up to the standard o! New York. It was charged some weeks ago that Mr. Palmer had need his oflice for personal and political purposes, but, as I have said we were careful about our fads. We wrots to Chicaa to certain friencs of tho administration, who test: tied to tho truth of what we had heard m the form o! affidavits. We then dstermiped to remove Mr. Talker without further delay." A Washington telegram ssj3 that it is understood that the friends ot the administration referred to by Mr. Vilas are Colonel Morrison ard John H. Oberly, and that the latter furnished the charges against Mr. Talnier, and that Morrison pre3sntod them to the President. Morrison consulted with Mr. Oberly, whereupon both ganttemen united in recommending Mr. Jndd, who, at the time, hau a letter on file 83'sing for the place. The charges made by Oj?xj azainst Postmaster Palmer were, first, that Ton the day cf the Blaine parade ia Chicago he closed his cilice at 4 o'clock in order that the employes of the cilice might Bwell the procession in .Blaine's honor; second, that he constructed a platform in front of the office for the accommodation of his Kspuhlican riends, that the carpenter who did the werk was an employe of the Government, and that the materials nsed were the property of the Government; third, that a few days prior to the October election in Ohio, Mr. Palmer sent certain members of his force to Cincinnati to act as United States Deputy Marshals, and that these people were carried free in the postal cars between Chicago and Cincinnati upon the supposition that their presence in Cincinnati was in the line of their legitimate duties. We should think that these charges, it true, make out a case of partisan oHensiveness beyond a doubt. "Judd's nomination," says Mr. Oberly, "is going to have a good effect upon Morrison's chances for the 8enatorship. It will effectually set at rest the declaration that Morrison has no in-l-.uence with the administration, for ths President desires It distinctly understood that Judd's appointment ia as much a compliment to Colonel Morrison as to Mr. Judd hirxself." TENNYSON'S LA. TEST. The world has been tcld by the wires that Tennyson ha3 written an epitaph for the memorial tablet to General Gordon in Westminster Abbey, and these are the lines thereof: Warrior of Cod. man's friend. Not here below, tiioU live.it in All men's hearts: For all men anow This earth hath boms 2io simpler, nobler mm. Emanating as they do from the Poet Laureate to the "Queen of Great Britain and Empress cf Indis," it was our duty to read the lines, and we have read them. Remembering they are by an English "nil or J," we have read them twice, and then, appreciating that cot to be intensely familiar with Tennyson argues one cnesthetic, we haye e'en read them a third time. And yet, despite the thrice reading the Sentinel has failed laboriously to discover a tear-starter, a soulthriller, a sigh-heaver or even the vibration of one chord of ecstatic melody in the verse. We concede that ours not being thp fine pcetic sight, it may have failed to ob3?rye some subtle beauty or grandeur nestling somewhere between or beneath or about tne twenty-one monosyllables and five bi-sylla-bles composing the ever-to-be-renowned epi taph. But we are bound to say that no poetic merit sits on the face of the eScsion. In fact, the composition in both sentiment and diction is weak. It is weak for even Tennyson, and that is saying a good deal. What there is in Alfred Tennyson's work to command the sentimental homage paid to him we have never been able to discover. He has written a few strong lines and a clever number of pretty lines, bat his production, as a whole, do not entitle him to r.uk with st least two contemporansous American poets. The Queen's laureate being well along in years, fading faculties may account for the especially noticeable weakness ot his very recent verses. If she has any otter available singer she should substitute him for Mr. Tennyson. And if she has not that substitute let her but apply to America, and

we can furnish her a long list from which to mike a selection to borrow.

INSPECT THE WORK OF BUILDING. The recent catastrophes of falling buildings in New York, Brooklyn and Pittsburg are results from an evil all too prevalent in this country unwise haste. It is not nncoKinon to see, even in pretentious buildings, wood work warped or shrunken, doors with crevices over and under them, windows that rattle in their frame and admit wind, dust or rain; floors and staircases that creak, and walls and ceilings with seams in the plastering or papering. Worse still is the not Hnfrequent discovervef a brick wall settling or springleg. These defects are usually due to overhaste in building. Now and'then a capitalist maybe found mean enough to designedly have inferior materials nsed, regardless of the possible danger to life and property of tenants who may cccnpy the property. But In the main it is the insertion of unseasoned timbers, unseasoned brica: and the hasty and slip-shod putting of them in place that cause the unsightly and dangerous constructions. In the cities, at least where these holocausts have occurred, a stimulus will b-j given. by them to a more rigid building inspection. But the authorities, everywhere, sboutd read the lesson taught by the I033 of life in the instances named. It Ehould be S'en to that In the construction cf buildings of several stories the foundations are made safe, the walls of sufficient thickness, the masonry perfect in both material and workmanship, and that all timbers are rot only of adequate strength but thoroughly seasoned, so that the strength of structure may not be imperiled by shrinkace. This is due t i the working people who are to occupy scch houses. It Is but poor satisfaction rendered the victims of falling bnilding3 and tbeir relatives and friends to prosecute the offending builders even if to conviction and execution. The mutilated nd cremated remains of the lost are not thereby restored to life, health and horue. In this as in other work requiring precautiorary care, an ounce cf prevention is worth a pcund of cure. "Tne Fepubliean organs seek to eive out ?b imjtstloa that our new Minister to LagiaivJ. M-. i'fce'ps, was counectid wita the rasclit7 which was j art aa t parcel cf tue famous aaii Miue sivinolc." The sentinel. Somebody should tell the Sentinel that it is not "lupublicau organs" which, have denounced Mr. Pfceits lor his connection with the Ktnma Mine ca?e. but that It was the Sew York World, the priDCiral Democratic "or?an" of the coautrv. Tr.e iKiiorance of the Sentinel is onlv equaled by its desire to make a partisan point. Journal. Gammon! As recently as Tuesday, May the Indianapolis Journal referred to Mr. I'htlps as "the Eaima Mine attorney." The Journal is smethirg of an "organ," we believe: Other "organs" of the party have been indefatlgsble in their etlorts to prove that Mr. Phelps held a.dishonorable part in the Emma Mine enterprisn simply because he was an attorney for one of the parties interested; but Mr. Minister Scbenck, as a Minister to the Court ct Sr. James under a republican administration, pvshri rv. pn'" into Downing street and almost to the very portals of Windsor Castle. Mr. Schenck was a very "smart" gentleman in various branches of diplomacy, to say nothing of his accomplishments in the great American game of poker. SPIRIT OF TUE STATE Tee farmers, as usual, are indulging in a great many complaints on account of the cold weather, which has very much retarded their spriog work. Usually many have been through with their corn-planting, while this season but few have finished plowing. Michigan City Dispatch. Ths editor of the Commercial-Gazstte ought to come out boldly for Oovernor of Ohio. If he should be elected there would be considerable throwing up of hats, and if he should be defeated, there would probably be the same demonstration. In either event President Cleveland's administration woul ro on with equal regularity and complaisance, thus ehowirjg to the Apollo BeUidere that his own individuality, beautiful as it may be. is still without the consequence that brings Choas or Arcadia. Evansville Courier. Tna reluctance cf the average Republican ofhce-holder to let go the public teat is highly characteristic of the animal. He has long been in olüce and has not scrupled to use his official position to advance the interests of the g. o. p. so as to perpetuate his lease of power. When his successor is appointed he sets up a howl about hisun'lttesy.as though none but Republicans were qualified to discharge the duties of en otlice. The Radical newspapers can howl as much as they please about the unfitness of Mr, Cleveland's appointments; it will be time enough to talk about that when the fact 13 demonstrated Sullivan Democrat. JuEGsTm f.man is spoken cf as a candidate for Governor of Oaio. The nomination of Thurman would be a gocd one. especially if the Republicans should nominate John Sherman as their standard bearer. Thurman and Sherman 3 opposing candidates, one with his red bandana waviog in the breeze as an ensign cf the Democratic ho3s: the other waving aloft the old tattered and torn, sanguiniverous nether garment as the battle flag of the Republican party, would arouas their followers to an enthusiastic appreciation of the momentous interests at stake, and there would follow such a rattling campaign as Ohio has not seen in an off-year for several decades. Shelby Volunteer. It is expected tnat the-adminisiration will very soon begin to decide what constitutes "offensive partisanship" sufficient to cau3e the removal of Federal ofh:ia'.s without vioj litiDg the letter or spirit of the civil service rules. It is surmised that othcials who have been guilty of leaving their offices to angin er prirraries, pack conventions, and lay plans for obtaining illegal votes, or f jr unduly icflaencing voters by money or false statements, who have made their offices ths rendezvous of gangs of political bummers ard wire workers, and who hare been the

pliant tools of the Republican machine managers, will be covered by this definition. It would not require a very great deal of work to take a census of the Federal officials who do not come under this head. Tipton Times. The voice of the Democracy spoke with no uncertain sound yesterday. The particulars are given in our local columns. It is the biggest and cleanest sweep ever made in the city. The o'dsst inhabitant can not remember when the Democrats eleoted every last man on the ticket. The majorities in the wards are unprecedented, and every officer re-elected goes in by largely increased majority. All this is because tbe Damocratic party acted wisely. We rewarded ths faithful incumbents with a renomination, and placed at the head cf the ticket a gentleman of undoubted ability and irreproachable character. In every ward the Councilrcen nominations were true, tried and responsible citizens. All this proves that ir a political party is true to itself, kicking can not injure it. For this result.

After a protracted absence he returned, saying Niesle had goae home and he could not get the money, and that they could go and vote as they p'.eawd, which they attempted to do, and found tbe polls closed. Another of the men to whom Steele referred this man for money th mcrning of the election was proven to have paid a man $'2lor his vote, and being called tocn after as a witness, in reply to the question whether he had used money the day of the election to influence votes, refused to arswer the question. The other man to whom Steele referred this man for money the morning of the election, was conclusively shown to have paid one man?- to vote for Steele. Tbe witness who testified Steele paid him ?.3 to vote for htm was called a epcond time, and testified te had been offered sir to go on the stand and deny the statement.

At tne same time a gruff voice deniarjried, "Have you any money in the hou3e? ' Mrs. Bynum was terribly frightened, but replied that she had a small sum. After a long search with the glare of the lantern in her face the lady found her peccet book cn tha stairway, and save him the bill which it contained. The scoundrel, however, said that this amount was not 'arge enough to eatisfy him, and insisted that she had more money concealed romewhere about the house.

THE HEALTH IttUKD SUDD LB

Dr. rartridge Dtterinlae? to Contt! the Arpolntment of Dr. Hoots. Probable Tie Vote Should tba BortI Act in tho Premises Dr Partridge Emplois Counsel. Tbe Stat Board of Health will ho'.d 1 meeting to-day, cnii the questions adding the rival claitn? cf membership of Drs. Partridge and Bcis wül no doubt form tbe most interes'iiog topic of d-cuf s'ou. When last seen, Dr. Boots was satisfied that the two Democratic members would recognize his commlesion and admit him to membership, ad, according to him, they would constitute a majority cf the board, Dr. Lomax being the only Bepablican member entitled toavot. There is come question ot the correctness of thia conctructioncf the law, as tne cct organizing the board declares that when elected the Secretary shall be a member of the Bjard of Health, ard it is argued that becoming member carries with it all the privilsgas enjoyed by the other four, one of these being the privilege cf voting upoa all questions which may ariee before tie board. The action of the board 03 ail questions heretofore arhiDg has bfen unceremonious, and the Secretary, when t?ea yeiterday, was not certain whether he was ntitid to cte with the board or not. lath event that ha becomes satished of his ri'it to cait a vote in the matter, and the botrd h called upon to 1 elect bttwren tbetwocoitestant?, bie vote will no doubt b? cut t:i favor of Partridge.
