"They were such little bits o’ tots when I left that I really ’spent they have forgotten how their own father looks, 'i'here’s Martha, now, she’d recognize me in a minute, I’ll venture; six years is a long time, though, add I’ve had some avvful hard knocks ditrin’ that time; wonder now if I am lookin’ much the wus for wear,” and he arose a little hurriedly and went and hunted up the bit of looking-glass among his kit of things, and took a long look at himself with a queer kind of feeling about the heart, that some way reminded him of the days when he first knew himself to be in love with Martha Simmonds, and was a little uncertain as to how his advances would be received. Every day after that until they came, he had looked in the glass at least once, and often more than once, and had kept lus hair and beard combed and his clothes looking as well as possible, considering tho fact that, to a very great extent, he was forced to rely on strings . to do the duty usually performed by ! buttons. lie had ' at first thought of meeting his family at Sacramento, and had goue down there in tho middle of August with the intention of remaining until they arrived; but as the time of their coming was quite uncertain, and might not be for several weeks yet, and" as some things remained to be done to cottage, he had made arrangement! with Jo Bronson, who also had ffiend in the expected company, la •cd *[pit, uy-wne* property.

For several days after his return hi busied himself about the cottage, put fang in a shelf here; driving up a nai there; going out to look at the garden the ground for which he had broke! early jn the spring- almost the first day after he had laid his claim and written . jins family to come—and which now ithanks to his careful tending and tli natural adaptability of the soil an climate, could easily furnish vegetable and melons enough for a larger farnil than the one whose wants they were iii tended to supply; a.nd rememborin; that but a few days or weeks intervene before their" coming, that even not they might be in sight from the blufl at the bend of the creek whose wine ,:ings the road followed, that they migh be coming around the bend at any me ,ment, is it any wonder that he slept bu tightly, or that ho often raised liimsel ■from his blanket, fancying he heard familiar voice calling to him througl the darkness? Only two days before their arrival neigboring squatter called at the ranch and the two men spoke together cam estly and excitedly, and when the neigh bor left John Parsons hastily mounts his pony and dashed away across th * country at break-neck speed, cast in; anxious glances back over the track ii the direction from which he expectei any day, any hour, to sec the canvas .covered wagon in whose occupant every hope of his life centered. After an absence of a few hours h returned at tho same reckless pace, bu only to dash oif again, after making cer tain that no one had been at the cot tag * during his absence. . Just at nightfall he came home fastened instead of turning loose hi pony, and cut for him a bundle of th wild oats that grow so lustily upon th rich soil of the Stiscol Ranch and sui rounding valley.

Ihen he began to pace back and forth before the porch of the cottage. He did not cook or eat any supper; ha even forgot to light bis pipe. All through that night he paced up and down or stood looking into the sky or out toward the distaut hills. When morning came he cooked and tried to cat his breakfast, but could only swallow with an effort, and when it was over he set the unwashed dishes ■ aside and looked in the bit of glass again- U « What he saw there seemed to hurt him in some way. • The face that was reflected back appeared older and not so good-looking as he had fancied it had when ho last saw it; he felt that even hjartha would hardly know him; and with the thought, tears, the first he had shed since he kissed wife and babies good-bye away back in the •States, almost seven years ago, forced themselves from his closed lids, and he ; laid down the piece of looking-glass as if ashamed even that the image in it should look upon his emotion. After awhile he lay down upon his blanket, telling himself that he must not look too care-worn at their coining, hut Bis eyes refused to remain closed. Instead, ihey persisted in wandering about the rooms; lingering for a moment upon each object in which their possessor had felt a special interest as :t something that would lighten the Ja- > : bors of his wife; some little thing she Would not be likely to expect and which would give her the more pleasure because of it A|) the day through he was up and down, out and in the cottage, unable or unwilling to work, forgetting his dinner until long past the usual hour, and then permitting it to burn to a crisp when he did undertake it; but just as the sun was going down he saw coming around the curve in the road a covered wagon; and although wagons — such wagons—were far from uncommon sights to him, and although it plight well ho strangers that »p

preached, yet something told him that it was his own loved ones, ana with the thought every look of weariness and care went out of his face, and a moment later the woman in a gingham dress and suu-bonuet had no dilliculty in recognizing her husband in the man whose eager arms were thrown about her even before she could descend from the wagon. ' CHAPTER lit THE UKUKIOX. It was true that the girls who were “such little bits of tots’” when he left them did not know how their father looked, and would not have known it was he but for the greeting he gave to their mother and themselves. It is doubtful, on the other hand, if John 1'arSons would have known his girls had he met them unexpectedly. They had grown wonderfully, he thought; so much more than he had imagined. ' True, he had counted the years that had down, and had said: “Jennie is almost eleven now, and Lucy past nine,” but what did the passage of years signify when memory had all * the time pictured them babies, just as he had seen them before the Years * had come

ana gone. Erastus, he thought, had not changed so-much. He was quite a lad when he saw him last, and he was not fully a man now. lie had grown, of course, and had a manly air and look, but he was not yet sixteen, and then we always expect boys to grow. He had seen boys on the streets of Sacramento and elsewhere of all ages and sizes, and their forms and faces had somehow mingled with the form and face of Erastus and had helped to obliterate t'.o picture of the lad as he saw him last and form a new and much truer one of the real Erastus whose hand he now took and held with a grasp that wanned the boy’s heart toward him anew. “Leave the horses stand a. bit and come iuto the house with mother and the girls,” he said; “we will care for them by and by.” But the boy replied that he would rather care for them at once and could easily do it without help, as he was accustomed to do. They were tired, he said, with the long drive, as they had all been determined to get through that night, and had broken camp early and driven hard. “Yes, John,” interrupted Mrs. Parsons, “it has been a long drive and a hard one; not to-day only, but so many days; and I’m so glad to think that we are not going to have to hitch up again in the morning; but that our journey is ended at last, and that we are all together again.” “I didn’t expect so nice a home,’-’ !#ie added, coming Close to him and looking up in his face while her eyes tilled with tears. “And oh! I am so glad we have a home of our own once more. I am sure we shall he very, very happy here.” And she felt hurt when her busband roughly turned away and began helping Erastus with the animals. She supposed, however, that he was ashamed to let her see how deeply he was atl'ceted at the thought of their all Being together, and of the happiness which was sure to be theirs, now that it was so; and she felt very, certain that this was the ease when a minute later he came back, and putting his arms around her shoulders, said: “Come Martha, come babies, let’s go in and see the new home from the inside,” and led her up the steps to the porch, and then into the main room of the cottage “How’ll she do?” he said, motioning with his hand about the room. His wife noticed that his voice was broken as bfc said it, but she did not wonder ivt it, -for' her own voice was not uuJ r f*1 and aiaVinr into a chair she putnioth hands to her face and gave way toNtears that would come in spite of her. When she could control her voice she said: “Please don’t think lhe foolish, John; I’m.so happy I just can’t help crying. Indeed, I d du’t expect anything half so comfortable and nice, and now that we are all together again in a home of our own, I can think of nothing else worth asking for." Going behind her chair her husband took her hands in his own, and, stooping down, kissed her twice, and was silent for a time. Then he said, huskily: “I'm glad we are together again, Martha, and I don’t mean we shall ever be parted any more. Now you rest while I go and help, Rastus with the horses,” and turning he left the house. When he came back in company with the boy he found his wife busv preparing their supper, the material for whieh Jennie and Lucy were bringing from the wagon. John brought out his own stores to add to those'of the travelers, and soon the family were seated about, the table, at the first meal eaten toge ther for so many years; indeed, the first; meal that the girls could remember to have ever eaten ns company with their father. Then followed questions and answers regarding the friends in the States, and tho. journey which was just ended so happily, and at a late hour the family retired to rest upon such beds as could be improvised from the stock in the wagon added to that which the husband and father had been able to provide in view of their coming; and soon all were sleeping the blessed sleep that comes from weariness and a feeling of having passed safely through much of danger —all but John Parsons, who, despite his last night of waking, slept but little, and arose in the morning with a look that showed his wife at once that there - was something upon his mind, a knowl- j

euge,«H wmcn ne was striving to seep from the family, and instantly she recalled what had been told her by some friendly squatters near whose cabin they had camped the apoond night out from "Sacramento! of, ft rumor that some settlers* somewhere further down the valley, were likely to* lose their claims through some cause, which those who repeated the tale did not properly understand. It had not occurred to her at the time that it was possible it could be John's claim that was in danger. It seemed strange now that it did not .But so full was her mind of thoughts of John himself, of their coming reunion, and of the future when they should all be together in the new home, that there was no room for anything else; and so she had scarcely .heard the tale at all, or hearing it had dismissed it at once with a single expression of pity for the poor families who were to lose their ail—even as she and John had done back in the States —through the greed of those who are not content with what is justly theirs. But now she understood it. 1* was John’s claim that was involved, and they had come two thousand miles to find a home and resting place, only to he bidden to move on again ere they had shaken the dust of the long journey from their garments. “Is it the title to the plaice, John?” she asked; "I know there is something terrible on your mind; something you are afraid to tell me. I ought to have seen it last night, but I didn’t. I was so tired and so glad, (hat; I couldn’t think of anything. Whatever it is, don’t be afraid to tell me. I can bear anything, only so that we remain together. And she put her arms around his neck and laid her head upon his bosom. Then John Parsons broke down and wept The children came in and stood wondering and silent They knew something terrible had happened, or was about to happen, for, young as they were, they knew that men do not weep at the scratch of a brier; and they saw their father weep and saw

their mother put up her haafl and stroke his beard and face and whisper softly something they could not hear, but which they felt must be words of comfort that were sorely needed. It was Erastus that broke the spell at last He had been the first to rise and had gone out immediately to feed and rub down the horses; and returning had entered just in tirno to hear Mra. Parsons speak of the title to the claim. *Tfien he, tors remembered the rumor which they had heard, and knew that it was true, and understood all that it meant'to those who had been the only real friends he had ever known, and | his young blood grew hot and for a moment he felt that he could kill the .men who were the cause of so much suffering: and then there came a great wave of affection for the friends who had given him all the love ho ha.d ever known, and, stepping forward, he said, in a tone of voice that gave a weight to his words which his years would have denied him: "Uncle John, if the land thieves have gobbled this plac.v too, let them have it. There must be land somewhere that they don’t claim, and if there is we’ll find it, and make a tome on it. I’m almost a man now. Uncle

John, and 1 11 help you; so don t give up. It will be all right yet” “ Yes, John, cheer up. We will find a place to start again, somewhere, and all begin together,” said his wife, *• I know, dear, how badly you feel. You have built the house for us and have thought so much about welcoming us here that it is harder for you than for us, who only saw it for the first time last night” “ 1 never knew it till just the other day,” said John, striving to speak in h's natural voice; “they told me when I bought the place that, it was all straight, and the courts had decided that nobody had a claim on it that would hold but the settler; but it ’peaifi that the rich fellows that claim it raised a heap of money and bribed Congris to reverse the tiling. The other squatters got wind of it and had a meetin' to sea about it. That was while I was at Sacramento arrangin’ with Joe fur your cornin', and I never knowd anything about it’till Bill Ritchie, who lias the next cla'm east, came over Thursday morn to tell me that another meetin’ was to be held that afternoon to hear the report of the committee that had been sent to Frisco to find out if it was true or no. And so I helped Bill to notify the neighbors, and we held the meetin’ at Bill’s house, and the committee was fhar an’ they said we was done for, sure enough; that Congris had decided that the hill Suscol Ranch belonged to a few fellows that never Struck a blow, nor turned a sod, nor put up a shanty; and who never paid nobody fer doin’ it, but claimed it because some Spanish King or other once pretended to give it to some of his eron es before there was any United States or anything else on this continent but buffaler, and bars au’ Injins. “I ust to ue proud of my country,” he continued, “and was fond of say in’ that everybody stood an ekil chance here; but it ain’t so. Nobody don’t stand any chance except he is I a raskil and a coward into the baigin: stealin ’thout gettin’ in front of the law. There ain’t no doubt but that Congris was bribed. Our fellows have even- learned where and when the money was raised, and.some of the Congrismen and Senators who was bought to vote agin us; but we can’t prove nothing in court, fer everything works agin the poor man, who only wants justice, an' in favor of the rich one that is > cokin’ to rob him of his earnings; and if it wasn’t for the wimin and children that might be left was off if their husbands- and fathers wus killed, there would be afight before some of us give up our "Cjaims.^7This allusion to possible violenoe frightened Martha Parsons. What if the squatters should resist mid John snould be killed? The thought almost took away her breath, and she tried in everyway to calm her husband whom she had never before seen in so violent and bitter a mood. He did not really meditate resistance, however. Experience and observation had taught him that those who could control both the Legislatures and the Courts'jCould bring aids to their assistance that made resistance by any forco which the squatters could command worse than useless; and after a little While he cooled down and bega.n to talk of what was to be done in the direction of seeking a new home. “Some of the fellows are talking ol goin’ up into, the foot-hills, above Sacramento, where they say thar ain’t no claim of any kind on the land, and where it is most as easy to grow grapes and peaches an’ apricots and such as it is to raise corn an’ hogs bade in the States. If they would pay for the work I’ve done on this place," or even enough to get lumber for another house, wa could start agin up there, and do purty well may be, but they won’t. Stealim is their game, and havin’ paid Congris to declare stealin’ legal, I ’spose they’ll go for everything in sight.” Mrs. Parsons professed to be pleased with tne idea of raising fruit, which was really the case, for she had already seen evidences since arriving upon lihe coast of the liberality with which nature dealt with such of her products in this climate, and could she have felt absolutely certain that they could find the right spot and get a claim which would not be wrested from them, she wouliK have felt in no small degree contented with the situation. And now she was ready to encourage any scheme that would help to reconcile her husbanu to the inevitable.

The result of further conversation between the members of the family was that Mr. Parsons again mounted his pony and rode away in the direction of •Ritchie’s shanty;, and that that evening a dozen squatters, many of them accompanied by their wives, mot at the cottage, were introduced to the new comers, and when they departed it had been arranged that John and Bill should make a trip to the locality spoken of and see if it was really" suitable for homesteading, while others were to go to San Francisco and ascertain beyoud possible question if there was any shadow of a claim hanging over it. 5 ,‘T don’t never mean to settle on another bit of ground that anybody has ever laid claim to’ceptin GodTmighty,” said one of those present; and all the others echoed the sentiment. The next morning John Parsons took his wife, and then each of his children, in his arms, and held them close to his heart for a moment, kissed them and rode away to try to find another rest-ing-place. As he reached the brow oil the hill which was to hide the cottage from his view, he checked his pony and turning, looked back, and then away to where he could see other houses dotting the landscape, until a moisture came to his eyes and blurred his sight. “Only just a campin’,” he said-; “only i'ust a campin’ where they thought to ive always; that's what they’re a-dein’; that's what I’ve ben a-doim’ all my life.” [TO BE CONTINUED. ] —The wax plant is now grown on large scale in Algeria, and its product is gradually finding its way into the markets of the world.

THE KICKERS. Personal Ambition the Xottve of Those Who Attack the President. Senator Enstis, of Louisiana, is in open revolt against the Administration. The Cincinnati Enquirer also arrays itself against the Administration. Mr. Enstis is provoked because he has not been able to influence the President in the matter of appointments in Louisiana; while Mr. McLean, the proprietor of the Enquirer, is angered because of his failure to control the Federal patronage ot OhiOj With both these men personal ambition has been the ruling motive, and now that they iind themselves without the coveted uower in the President’s council they lash the Ad- | ministration with all their might. But how absurd it is for men who"aspire to be statesmen to grow angry because they can not have just what they want! Such men should be taught that the Government of the United States is not child's play, and that a Democratic Administration can not be conducted in the interest of a clique or of one or two men in a section. The interests of the whole people are to be considered and not the interests of particular indiYid

uais. The great charge brought by ill-dis-posed Democrats against President Cleveland is that so few removals are being made: that so few Democrats, are being appointed to office. But Mr. Cleveland’s policy was well known before the election, and it is too late to object to it now. The Chicago platform was clear enough upon the subject of Civil-Service, and Mr. Cleveland was very clear and emphatic in his interpretation of that platform. Democrats worked with enthusiasm to elect their standard-bearer, and now that the choice of the people occupies the White House, how unjust and unwise it is for individual Democrats to chafe or bolt. President Cleveland gives very general satisfaction. His acts during the two months of his incumbency are taken as sjn earnest of his purpose to overhaul Federal affairs thoroughly and give us a pure and efficient public service. He has made some mistakes in his appointments to be sure, but when it is remembered what a burden the President has on his shoulders—when it is remembered what a mass of business demands his attention, it is wonderful that the mistakes have been so few. Iu the first place Mr. Cleveland entered the Executive office with a staff of Cabinet officers • against whom naught could be said. In the selection of his official family tho new President proved at once his sound judgment and his honest purpose. Each Secretary was imbued with the spirit of reform, and each entered upon nis duties with genuine enthusiasm and a firm hand. Pledged to reform, a rigid examination into the books of the Government was at once instituted by the Administration. Each department >vas corrupt, and each Secretary gavo his personal attention to the' work of overhauling tho accounts. The Secretary of State has been kept very busy setting the wheels of the now diplomatice service in motion. The Secretary of the Treasury has unearthed Republican rascality iu his denarment, and has introduced business-like methods In tho conduct of Treasury affairs. The Secretary of tho Interior has. found corruption ' in the Pension" Bureau, in the Indian Bureau and in many sub-divisions of his department Reform is being pushed vigorously by Mr. Lamar and his faithful assistants. The Postmaster-General found his department in the hands of partisan inspectors. These inspectors yrere the , psae-eebd aid*, of r magnates; and to the . duPK’—ate Vfiieyjyts been eqJfer. ,t< ta«k and "has Used the retorhv broom vigorously.

Since the 4th of March . a^TOe Government red tape h*s beeh ■*611«d into a grexc ball and put out of sight.

There is less disaffection now than usual.— Richmond \Va.) Slate.

MEN FROM MAINE. The Ascendancy of the Maine Gang Passing Away. Mr. Frye, of Maine, is Senior from that State. He belongs to-a school of disreputable politicians of which Mr. Blaine is chief. When these men have not their hands in the ballot-bSxes, they have them deep in the publip treasury; when they are not concocting some scheme to plunder, they are manufacturing some new slander. „ Frye has a certaiu facility-pf expression whicj^pjoiuel to an utterly irresponsiblt^Bagination, makes him a valuable JBemhcr of the Maine .‘gang. That State has bebn so wplb&ralized by these conscienceless pomjSe&ns that it stands as the representstiy^pf the most corrupt and disgraccftiV uictihods practiced in American politics, .'jlliere they stop at nothing. Bribery is with them a matter of course; for, according to their standards, politics is oue fo«n of commerce, and every man who engages in it must buy as well as sell. >.. f Blaine is the representative—the senior member, so to speAi—of the Maine firm; when he makes f-trade all the others are bound by it. hen he sold out bag and baggage to-Tbrn Scott (see Mulligan letters) the jfeansaotion carried the whole State. W^eg exposure came, Frye was Blaine’s counsel calling for delay, brow-beading witnesses, manufacturing testimony, and quick and eager to do any dirty work. Maine is a rotten borough., In any other State, even in Pennsylvania, Frye, Blaine, Chandler et ah would fong ago have been retired to private liftt They sustain themselves, not by brain-, but by audacity. The Mulligan letters are richer in their exposures, riore JCouclusive than jmythini Tweed or against was pariiceps crimlnU, Maine, and Blaine is leader of his party. > President Cleveland has ’•eoeutly appointed to office a man ffom Maine who is just now a Democrat. , His principal claim to support, and it is a strong one, is that he is an .opponedV*of Blaine and has iuourred $1s displeasure. Perhaps he has done o* countenanced ao tions which clse'where would not be commended, but as he lives'1 iu Maine, under the corrupting influences' of a Blaine-Frye dynasty, he ahoidd be judged charitably. By the appointment he is removed from the lqipure atmosphere of Maine, and is thus tpien time for repentance. ] Blaine and Frye still feel that/thev i against f Frye, who in a tor from > recognized -«V

are entitled to some consideration from this Administration, and expected by bargaining and intrigue to keep all their enemies out of office. This expectation has been disappointed. Mr. Cleveland has actually appointed a man from Maine to office without consulting Frye. This is taken as a declaration of independence on the part of Mr. Cleveland, and Frye retorts that Secretary Lamar is a bloody-hand-ed murderer, that he has murdered ten thousand men in Mississippi, and after this actually stole the vote of the State. Mr. Frye should have made this discovery during the campaign; it would, if substantiated, have been worth ten thousand votes in New York, where they would have done most good. He should have detected this monstrous crime before he voted to confirm the nomination of Mr. Lamar as Secretary of the Interior. It is difficult to conceive how a man so sensitive as Mr. Frye can reconcile to his conscience his action in putting into an office a man who has slain his ten thousand. The indications are that the day for the ascendancy of the Maine gang, or of those who depend on methods Which, distinguish them, has passed. Politics will hereafter be less of a trade and more of a science, and let us hope that* even in Maine men like Frye and Blaine will be relegated to private life. —- Courier-Journal.

CONFLICTING CRITICISM. President Cleveland's Administration Between Two Fires. Some Democrats blame him for not turning Republicans out of office more rapidly and generally and for overlooking some of the best politicians in the party in the appointments that have been made. The Independents fret and worry be cause he happens to appoint a few men to office who are hard wprkers in the party and labored to make his election possible. Are these conflicting and contradictory criticisms just? It is noteworthy that the former complaints come mainly from journals which, while pretending to be Democratic, labored vigorously to defeat Mr. Cleveland last year. If President Cleveland were to make a “clean sweep” of the hundred thousand office-holders for 'political considerations, he would falsify the pledges on which he sought the votes of the people and was elected. If he should fail to make his Administration distinctly Democratic, to carry out Democratic principles and to seek by his appointments and policy to perpetuate and strengthen'the Democratic party, he would be equally false to the pledges which secured his election. Mr. Cleveland accep|ed the Democratic nomination. Without it he would not have been a candidate. He accepted and planted himself upon the Democratic platform. If ha had repudiated it he would have been defeated. That platform declared that the fundamental principles of the Democracy must forever remain as the best and only security for the | continuance of free government; denounced the Republican party and its methods and reaffirmed the declaration of the Democratic platform of 1856, ‘‘that the liberal principles embodied by Jefferson in the Declaration of Independence and sanctioned in the Constitution, which make ours the land of liberty and the asylum of the oppressed of every nation, have ever been cardinal principles in the Democratic faith.” In addition to this, the platform pledged the Democracy to “purify the rAtiOMp■ilvnn ^-upUnn” and TdTavor honest Civil-Service reform. Will any fair-minded Independent argue that'the President must in duty prove true to the reform promises, but may without dishonor disregard the political and party promises? Certainly the pos tion taken by the Independents in relation to a few appointments seems to imply that such is their belief. , Is this quite fionest? Are not Secretary -Manning and Secretary Whitney two Cabinet officers whom the Independents indorsed? Yet Mr. Manning had for years been a prominent and able political!, the “boss” of the Democratic “machine,” as the Republicans insisted, and had certa nly had no experience in a National office. Air. Whitney had also been an active, efficient Democratic politician and was not au expert in naval matters. Are we to understand that the Independent principle of ; Civil-Service reform is to condemn the appointment of active and useful politicians in small revenue oollectorships and to approve such appointments in (Cabinet offices? It makes nti difference that Mr. Manning promises to be a successful Secretary of the Treasury, and Mr. Whitney an exceptionally capable, efficient anil successful Secretary of the Navy. Their present capacity was hot known at the time of their appointment, yet we do not remember that the New England and Now York Independent press protested against them on account of their political services and activity. Is it not true that Independents allow themselves to be unbonsciously prejudiced against what they call “political appointments” because they do not desire the perpetuation of the Democracy? Are they not led to detest working Democrats because of their old prejudices against the party, which naturallyinduce them to wish the destruction of the Democratic organisation and the construction of some new reform party on its ruins? But cato they consistently and with honor ask in that work the assistance of a Democratic President who was supported by nearly five million Democrats because he was the Democratic candidate, and as soch pledged to carry out the Democratic platform which made the perpetuity of the Democratic organization its distinctive feature?— N. ¥. World.

A SERIOUS OFFENSE. The Only Charge That Han Been Preferred Against 1'ilt-bury and Chase. One of the charges brought againsi the Administration by some of the carpers who are beginning to find fault with it is that it did wrong in appointing to office such characters as Pillsbury and Chase, of Maine, who are not up to tlifi civil-service reform standard. Whatever good the Administration may be credited with is, in the opinion of these critics, overbalanced by the appointment of these persons, which could not have been worse, as one disapproving journal puts it, if the choice had been made from the inmates of a penitentiary. Such expressions of disapprobation naturally induce the belief amonjj those who are easily beguiled, that the two appointees in Maine belong to the criminal class, and that their selection for Government positions is an outrage upon the public service and a disgrace to the Administration. As nothing short of burglarv or horse stealing could warrant the hullaballoo that tenderfooted mugwumps and phnirisaical Republicans are making over their appointments, it will surprise those unacquainted with the facts in regard to the appointees in question, to learn that the offense with which they are truly chargeablels the unswerving character of their Democracy and the zeal with which.they always supported the Democratic cause. This might be an objection to theqaif the appointing power was Republican, but why it should be brought to bear against them with a Democratic Administration is extremely difficult to understand. —Harrisburg (Pa.) Patriot.
