would settle among us, and soon
cause our mountain State "to bios

forests would then be so accessible
that an immense lumber business
would spring up, bringing wealth,
and prosperity to sections that are
now barren, and unprofitabla.

came out from dinner I asked him if the re-

replied: mo; they were made after full

observe that when Merritt will be collector.

that hayes did not make the fight on Arthur

inches had taken place, 4 half inch of which
had been lost at 4 o'clock. Had not old
Probs. prophesed the rise, the rise and fall
would naturally be attributed to logging oper-

Wash. Special (July III Cincinnati Enquirer |
The removal of Collector Arthur and lJa-
val Officer Cornell, of New York, causes
deal of comment in political circles here, be-
cause it is a reopening of the contest between
the administration and Conkling, and is the
first really aggressive blow Hayes has struck
in that fight. Up to this time the fight has
been pretty much of Conkling's making, and
he has been uniformly victor.
It will be remembered that the President
did once before send in new names for the
offices, that there was great fight over
them in the Senate, and Conklin secured
their rejection. Now the President seems
to have assumed the offensive and has re-
moved Conkling's pets summarily and effect
lively, for time at least, since the Senate is
not in session to either reject or confirm.
Under the law, if the Senate refuses to
confirm when it again meets in December,
the old incumbent will be reinstated and
will remain in Office until new names are
confirmed. or until Congress adjourns
again, when the President can repeat his
present tactics. Meanwhile, until Congress
reconvenes, the new appointees will hold the
Offices and draw the pay, and hence the
President will be master of the situation
| until December.
| The Presidents present action is in ac-
cordance with the advice which Hdyper's
Weekly and the Curtis -Fenton wing of the
New York Republicans have been giving him
very persistently of late; but the Presidents
peacefulness while Congress was in session
and aggressiveness now are looked upon
here as sign of cowardice. The Presidents
act is undoubtedly intended to aid in fight
being made to prevent Conkling's return to
the Senate.
