Troy Times; The sergeant.at.arms
has in his gift the appointment
of one>half of the Capitol police. He
has the disbursement of the salaries
of members and of all the moneys paid
to witnesses. The average annual
expenditure of his office is about
one million dollars He is re-
CURED TO give a bond of 100000, but is
under no special restrictions as to the
place for his deposits. These deposits
arc generally kept at national
depository, or are not withdrawn from
the treasury until needed for use, The
Office OF sergeant alarms is in itself al.
most banking house. There are many
members who keep no bank accounts
in Washington, but leave their accounts
solely with the sergeantat.arms This
custom had become general under the
administration Of the person who filled
the position for the las eight years.
Separate accounts are kept with each
member, as in n private banking
house. Their monthly pay is
regularly credited, and their
drafts honored, often when their
accounts are not good, There are many
members, who would not care to have
their names known in this connection,
who have often received valuable assist
ance through the office of the sergeant
alarms. In the Credit Mobiier inves.
tigation it was shown that the famous
checks, with mysterious initials, all
went through the Office Of the sergeant
alarms.

one Commission Too Many.

The World regards Hayes scheme of
u commission to 20 through Louisiana
for the purpose Of ascertaining public
feeling with utter derision, aud justly
says
"The Democratic party has had Just
about enough Of commissions and com
promises The Democrats are sick of
being continually cheated, Our own
judgment on this matter is positive.
We opposed the electoral commission,
but we were willing to hope that the
members Of it would rise above partisan
considerations. We were deceived in
the event and, taught by the action of
that tribunal, we ARE not disposed again
to trust Republican politicians, even
under the sanction Of AN oath, Who
cheats me once, said the Scotchman,
shame on him; who cheats me twice,
shame on me, Moreover, this system
Of settling disputes by compromises
instead Of by the authority of law, is as
immoral in itself as the practice Of cons
doning felonies."

TnE Hesperim thinks it is too early in
the season to SOW political seed, and
expect to reap full harvest from it.
He don't care so much for anything
else, as he does for the gubernatoral
matter, We don't care so much about
the geographical whereabouts of the
man, as we do the quality OF the future
Democratic nominee, who will of
course, be the future governor. We
have many good men in Texas, who
would fill the position with credit to
the State, and many more who think
they could. 1t is getting to be rather a
difficult matter, these latter days, to
boodwink the Democratic party of

Washington Cd. c. Star: At dinner
party given by Secretary Sherman, Sat.
urday evening, to the members of the
cabinet and few friends, the table was
graced by beautiful three-masted ship
composed of flowers. On the mainmast
was small United States flag, which
Secretary Sherman said his little daugh.

Massachusetts, said in his dry, Yankee
way, to the secretary of the navy, who
sat opposite him, well, Mr.. Thompson,
will you please tell us il that is the cor.
rect position for the American flag to
occupy on shipY Everybody waited
the reply with interest, for it is well
known that the new secretary is no
sailor, and they thought he was cor,
nered. But he took advantage of the
cabinet custom, and replied in digni>
fed manner, "Ahem | will refer you.

The California Pacific Railroad

An exchange says: Dispatches from
Fort Yuma say that the track of the
Southern Pacific Railroad is being rap.
idly laid across what is known as the
Colorado desert, the end of the track
being near Castle Rock, and about fifty
miles from Yuma. The terminal depot
is at Los Palma near which point an ar
tesian well three hundred feet deep has
been sunk, which yields copious sup
ply Of good water for drinking or steam
purposes A second well has just been
sunk twenty miles nearer the Colorado,
with the same results. This is of the
first Importance, as it solves the problem
of railroad operation across the one
hundred mile dry stretch, and also es.
tablishes the fact that the valleys here
tofore regarded as worthless, will be
very valuable for agriculture. One
thousand men are at work, and the
track is expected at Yuma ia April.

The tide of immigration now pouring
into North Texas is astonishing. Even
as late as the present day, every train
from the North which crosses Red river
comes burdened with hardy farmers
from the grain and bacon producing
States of the West. Their presence
will be felt during the present season
and in very brief space we may expect
farming modes to be almost revolution
lied. Let us add flour and bacon to oul
cotton and corn, and when We are
working this region of Texas up to it;
full capacity in these great staples Of
life, we will have the richest country
under the sun. Let us welcome warmly
the strangers who come to assist in this
great work.
