Mr, Crocher_ is & promincut Boston merchant, 8 years old. who voted for Cleveland, never having voted the democratic ticket before, “How do the people up in New Hampshire like the administration?” asked a Star re- porter of Mr. Frank Jones, “They like it,” was his prompt reply, “Why shonidn’t they’2” qBut all democrats don’t seem to feel that \ Way,” suggested the reporter. . “Oty Ue these follows wind are disappointaa about’ offices,” he replied, with a disdainfal wave of the hand. —————_e9____ Official Changes on Political Grounds REPUBLICAN SENATORS WHO WILL NOT OPPOSE NOMINATIONS BY THE PRESIDENT OF DEMO- CRATS IN PLACE OF REMOVED REPUBLICANS. It is pretty well understood among Senators of both parties that, so far as any action of the republicans during the recent special session goes to indicate, no successful opposition is likely to be made to appointments of the Presi- dent. The question of the line of policy to be- adopted by the republican majority ard to nominations involving removals was iscussed at reat length in the caucuses of the last days of the session, but nothing in the na- ture of detinite action was done. Some of the Senators wanted to antagonize any and all re= movals, unless made for cause specifically as- signed, but others boldly declared themselves against anything of the kind. Senator Sawyer, - in an expressive but homely manner, said: “i think the tail ought togo with the hide. The democrats have got the administration and they are entitled ‘to the offices.” In this posi- tion he was not alone. Other Senators of his party agreed with him that, as the democrats are responsible tor the administration of the executive department of the government, they should be permitted to select men of theit own arty to fill the offices. ‘There were republican Renators enough of this way of thinking to have prevente nominations, assuming that all the democzats would vote with the administration. The fact that nominations were left over without action was due to the anxiety of Senators to end the session on the day fixed for adjournment. The issue of the right ofthe administration to put democrats in place of re- ublicans in the offices was not raised. ‘Those Senators who felt inclined to make an effort to keep republicans In office avoided a square test oftheir strengih, Even in the republican cau- cus they did not care to bring the question of litical consideration in relation to contirma- Tons toa vote. At the next session ofCongress, however, this question will have to be met, as it stands to reason that the President will make some removals. Among democratic Senators there is no apprehension’ of contest over such cases. The republican Senators, who hold that the administration should have official agents in political sympathy with it, have made no secret of thelr views. Some of them have said to democratic friends that it is their intention to vote right along to confirm nominations where the parties selected for office are of good character and are competent. Such assurance has been given by republican Senators to the President and members of his cabinet. A dem- ocratic Senator, in speaking of the Senate's course with regard to nominations, said: “As a party man,nothing could please me better than to have the republicans take the position, prac- tically, that because a man {sin office heshould not be’ turned out. They would be virtually contending in favor of life tenures for public officials, and that would bea very unpopular stand. ‘Unless something shall occur to make a great change in the views and opinions of re- ublican Senators by the meeting of Congress, fils pretty sure that the President will have no trouble in the confirmation of men selected by- him for office.” — +0 Gen.Grant’s Wonderful Improvement. WHAT DX-SENATOR CHAFFEE TOLD SENATOR PLUMB. Senator Plumb, who has been in New York city for some days, and who during his visit there made special inquiries about the condi- tion of General Grant, says the family and friends of the general feel very much encour- aged. Ex-Senator Chaffee told Senator Plumb that some days ago, when Gen. Grant’s condi- tion was pronounced most critical,the disch: of matter that seemed to slough off from his throat was very offensive to the smell. He said it was so offensive that it was disagreeable to remain in thesame room with the sick man, but latterly not only has this sloughing off stopped, but all unpleasant odor has di peared. ‘The general steadily gains In stre1 and his family now look hopefully to bis ulti: mate recovery.

GRANT HAS A BAD NIGHT. He Sleeps Little, a mests the Doctor to Remain AH Night. ‘New YoRE, May 2.—Last night was the worst ht with Gen. Grant intwo weeks It was a goes with him, but heslept only at short iniervals until 6 ‘o'clock this morning, at which hour he fell into a sleep that continued until S a.m. He then: benegypee er but again he dozed until between 9 and 16 o'clock. About 10 o'clock last night the gen- gral settled doxn,as was supposed, forthe night, He believed Dr.’ Douglas haa left the house. This was not true, and when, about 11 o'clock, the patient heard the doctor's voice in the hall, he summoned him to the sick-room. The gen? eral seemed nervous and appsehensive, and he requested the doctor not to leave until morning. Hence Dr. Douglas remained at the house Until 8:30 this morning. When the doctor lett the house he said the general's restless night might have been owing to cerebral exaltation resulting from work on his book during the past two days, The weather, too, may have contributed to the restlessness of the patient. The throat and general physical conditions were not such as to have caused uneasiness, and the doctor found explanation of the fact in the reasons stated. The doctor would return at noon to-day to see how his patient was.

CAUSE OF THE DECREASED CA. THE DEADL COMMISSIO: NE SLAUGHT In discussing the question of the de catch of shad in the Potomac and Susquehanna rivers, itis important to consider the elan; condition of the fisheric silting fre troduction of pound. in the Chesapeake region. Ten yeu ovis OF shad enters ing the bay ure until, with the advance in season, pushed thei way into and up the rivers for the purpose of spaw ing, In vast schools they swarmed into the fresh waters, and made pPotitable harvest for the large haul seines and for ihe gillers, Now, doth shores of the Cli und-nets from. t . These stretch th more from the shore the unwary shad, Our rivers, In their lower reaches, aré infested with the Sam deadly in struments of capture. Itimay be truly said that the waters of the Potomac, the Rappahannock, the James, and many minor tribs Chesapeake are Uterally strained through smalltmesh nets beiore discharging Into tke bay. ‘The consequence of these chunged conditions 4s thai the shad fisheries Lave been shifted from the ri Sto the shores of the b from fresh wuter to salt water, and so perfect are the in- struments and appliances of capture that onl: a beggarly remnant of the schools of shad ente ing the bay can safely run the gauntlet of which intercept, arvest, and impound them, and reach their spawnine grounds intthe rivers. When we consider th that shad can only spawn in fresh water. the fact that so small a 1e ist Mand impour proportion ever h spawning grounds pre- sents a matter of very grave import. Natural conditions will not keep up supply, since enough do not spawn naturally to compensate josses by capture or natural casualties, The ut- most resources of fish culture must be taxed to supply the deficiency, in this connection it 1s a very significant fact that the aggregate cateh of shad in the Chesa- ake region, taken as a whole,is increasing year yy year, That this has been the case, in the face of the untoward conditions limiting natural re- production, is a strong and conclusive argu- ment for tbe value of the work of the U.S, Fish Commission, in hatching out and adding, year year, tens of milli ns of young shad to the natural supply = ons.

A VOTE ON SCHOOLS.—At the next election in Alexandria county the voters will decide upon the district levy to be made ‘or the public schools.

The law declares that the district school tax “shall not exceed twenty cents on the $100 upon the taxable value of the property in the district; provided, however, that in ihe counts of Alex- andria, if three-fourths of those voting on the question vote affirmatively, any school district may impose on itself a tax ‘not exceeding fifty cents on the $100.” Ever since the establish- ment of the school system a heavy school tax has been voted ty, &@ three-fourths vote, and a similar vote will doubtless impose a like tax at the coming election.
