Should tin1 Senate fail to sanction

next w inter, they will be displaced
bv other appointees.
The fourth ot April was the. first
pa d. iv of thu new regime. Tothe
I'resideii- it brought the sum of
(.lib;. I; costs a good deal to
hv'e m the White House, but in
view of tin- .letlersonian simplicity
that i- to mark i his administration,
it is thought Mr. i 'lex-eland will not
spend more than one half his
u- ,
'I-... w-,1 . O' iii.. i.vTra session
now en, led .shows that, with respect
to office holding the policy of the
new administration is conservative
and moderate. IMativelv. the
change.- have bee. few. ' There
would have been quite as man v.
had Mr. I '.'untie been elected. Of
curse, nianv others will follow, but
th.-.Ntatisties presented, as ell as
the ciiaiactcr of the selections,
prove that Mr. Cleveland inclines
towards conservatism. The new
otlicials, as a da-s, are men id' eon-
-,.r- iliv.i r . . T I . 1 ..11 e ! .. s Mini :l!-e Tlot
identified with active machine poll
tics. It is it eoinmon complaint
that the workers" have been left
out, and one has onlv to refer to
the files of newspapers of the dates
following the l'ourtli of March, and
read the columns of hopes and
claims in the political gossip of the
hour, to see how much ground there
is lor these lamentations. In
scarcely a single instance has a
man who was "prominently men
tioned." "well backed'-or "strongly
pu.-hed" fur a I'luce, got if.
I he most si-nuicant political in-
cidelit of the week was the reiiomi-
na.lonot .ui.ieaisou as posi mas-
ter at New oik. This eontotinded
pol-ti.-ians ot both parties and tern-
lioraiily called torth much indigna-
tion and excited language from the
l leinoerui lo r-en.uors. i ne aci
probably meets with the approval
ot tiio.-e elements m the votm
pi'imlat ion w ith which Mr. Cleve
land wa- identified. The Senate
coiih.rmed Mr. Pearson without con
test or division, even those voting
bu h::n who had been loudest in
their denunciation of his appoint-
iiii'iu.
Owing to the critical condition of
Cell. (Irunt. President Cleveland
has postponed the reception to the

W'r' will describe same of these charac
ters fur the beuflit of the publia:
Tlil-i MAN yvtTU A ,'I' ii I IKK A I.oi o-
M' 'Tivi;.
There is. fur instance, the man with a
voice like .a locomotive whistle, who
acts as if the whole conflagration was
under his personal control. He stands
in a conspicuous place, gpnprally upon
a box or a barrel, which h seems to
carry with him for fuch purposes, wild
ly gesticulating and howliug orders to
the chief engineer and other ofiicer?.
He usually gets knocked do-n by a lad
der, or some one turns the hose on him
by accident. After hehasgathere 1 him
self up. gets nil the muddy water out of
his mouth and et.rs. straightened out hi
stilT hat be goes e lf to a safe distance
and has a good deal to say about the in
efficiency of volunteer firemen in gen
eral. Tilt: MAN WITH THE AXE.
An equally absurd
man with the axe. II
character is the
is always early
at a lire accompanied b' :'. new axe. No
one knows where he got the axe and no
one ever saw him carry it back to where
he got it for the simple reason that he
never returns it: but while he is at the
tiru he makes things lively. He is a
perfect whirlwind of destruction: he
batters in doors, chops yvindow--blinda
off. smashes the fence down, and in his
frantic desire to save property he de
molishes everything that an axe will
make an impression on. This crank,
who is too weak to do any manual labor
and lets his wife chop all the firc-wood
at home, will create havoc and destruc
tion for three blocks around a fire. He
has even been known, when the hitch
ing posts and pumps were cut down all
around the block, to turn in and cut the
shade trees down in the next lot to keep
the lire from spread ing.
T II K MAN Who WANTS a l.Ai'l'iiU.
Then thero is the man who has an in
ordinate desire for a ladder. Iu tones
swelling with profanity and excitement
he shouts: "Have any of you got a lad
der: great gods, will none of you give
me a ladder" as if a ladder were some
thing that everybody carried in his
pocket like a jack-knife. W hen hecan't
get a ladder he tries to climb up the
water-$pout so that he may, at the risk
of breaking his neck, open some of the
second story windows anil let the air iu
and give the fire a chance.
Tin: nLU'i.F.ss man.
In cuntruot with the above vigorous
character is the helpless individual who
goes about swinging his hands in a help
less manner, or carrying a pail with the
bottom knocked out and getting in the
firemen's way: he gets tripped up with
the hose, hit on the head with a bucket
and knocked about generally. He stops
the foreman of the hook and ladder
company and asks him how the fire
originated and if he thinks there is a
chance of its spreading; but the foreman
only has time to address some bad w ords
to him and tell some of Ins men to tip
the ladder over on him.
THE MAN OF Ool'RA'iF..
And the courageous man never fails
to appear. He wants to raaku himself
useful. He doesn't care where as long
as lie is in a conspicuous place where
the crowd can see him. He will wres
tle with the hose, crawl up the ladder
,-n to the top of the roof and have all the
firemen swearing at him. About this
time he gets a red-hot cinder down his
back and his courage oozes doyvu into
his boots along with a bucketful of icy
cohl water some tire-man turns down
his b;i'-k: then he goes home aid tells
Ins wife how hard he has been work-ng
trying to save property.
THK FIN.NV MAN.
We must not forget the man who
wants everybody to see the fire and en
joy the fun. He generally wakes up
about half an nour after the alarm has
sounded and everybody has gone to the
fire that wanted to. lie goes down the
street yelling tire with a voice like a fog
horn, and if people don't turn out fast
enough to suit him he rings the door
bells, rattles the window-shutters and
gets all the dogs in the vicinity barking,
and then he goes away satisfied.
THE MAN WIIo IS TIIR FUtKMKN's FUiF.M'.
And the firemen "s friend always man-,
ages to get to the tire. He stalks among
the crowd in a pompous manner, rub-
biug his hands, and in
praising the lirenn n fr,
down to the torch boys,
are working like heroes

them. About thi- time
ladder men wish to pull

at this period the friend can be found
on the opposite side of the -treet. leaning
against the fence with his hand- m his
packets. After the fire is subdued some
one a-ks the firemen down to the hotel
to have something warm to prevent them
from taking ci-1-1. The friend mingles

Kgypt.
Mr. U la. I stone, reply ing to a memorial
from members of the House of Commons
in favor of Submitting to arbitration the
d illiculties bet ween Kngland and Rus
sia, says he sees no reason todouhia
peaceful settlement of pending troubles
by ordinary diplomatic measures.
Karl ( Iranville has forwarded a des
patch to Sir Edward Thornton, the
Briti-h Ambassador al St. I'eternburg.
refusing to accede to the request of M
de ( lers. the Russian Foreign Minister
to extend the line of the debatable one
on the disputed Rus.-o-Afghan frontier
to the I'arapamisus Mountains.
Karl ( Iranville insists that the I ssar
line be the farthest limit . and urges an
early meeting of the joint boundary
commission. It is expected that Ruhsci
will yield these points, but it is thought
to be certain that the boundary eoniun--ion
will d isagree.
Another military review in the pn-a
ems of the Ameer was held to day. on a
still grander scale than that of yester
day. Another long despatch from K ir!
Huffi-iin. Viceroy of India, was received
to d iv at the f oreign I mice. It w;.
sent I rom Uawal I'indi. and is consul
ered very important, in view of the
presence of Ameer Abdurrahman at
that point, and the cordial relations that
have been established between him and
the Viceroy. Lord Dufferin earnestly
! warns the Government to beware of
Russian d uplicity, and exposes certain
intrigues which have been in progress
for months past in the Ameer's court at
Cabul. Many Kussian officers who have
visited Cabul. during the past year have
been hospitably entertained by the
Ameer and bv officers of his military
household. It was ascertained some
time ago that the visitors were repaying
their host's hospitalities by prying into
the si crets of the Afghan Government
and sending their di-coerie to Si
Petersburg. Tlie visitors w ere m fact
spies, although they attempted no dis
guise as to their names or rank. The
Ameer affected great cordiality toward
the Kussian officers, and finally led
them into a trap. lie allowed them ac
cess to copies of his correspondence
yvith Lord Iiipon, who was then Vicerov
of India, but notuntil he had manufac
tured a bogus set of despatches intended
to show that a quarrel was imminent
between Afghanistan and India. This
correspondence was duly transmitted to
St. Petersburg, and it has formed the
basis of Russia's negotiations with
Afghanistan ever sin?e.
Lord Dufferin says, further, that sim
ilar intrigues have been practised by
Russian agents at Cabnl very recently,
and even since the Ameer's departure
for Iiayval I'indi. The Ameer, however,
is noyv convinced that Kngland is In
best fi iend, anil Lord Dufferin expresses
confidence in his loyalty.
