TIE New York Tribune is disposed to make trouble for Arthur if possible. In whose interest we can not say, but if Blaine expects to prepare his way to the Presidency by war on the administra- tion, he will find that he will lose many warm supporters. All that the people ask of President Arthur in the appoint ment Of his cabinet is that he shall ap- point good, true, honest men and Re pubiicaus. IL is natural to suppose that he will select his friends and those m whom he has personal confidence. That Is all right It is Arthur's admin is.ration. lie alone is responsible for its success or failure, and that being the casa certainly he should have the un- trarueled selection of his important sub oriinates. We think that the following from the Tribune, even If the facts as to the new Cabinet therein contained are true. to be ia bad taste: The Tribune says that during the Presidents visit to |
 ranged. and that the list Of nominations will at once be made up, to be trans mitted to the Senate as soon as Congress comes together. It Is no longer a secret iu well-iniormed circles that the Presi- dent has abandoned, if he ever entertained, the idea Of making Cabinet ! at at fN-a cf the different sections of the Republi- can partv. He seems resolved to throw lin tis fortunes with that portion of the nary which was defeated at Chicago ldefcatel in the Senate and defeated ln New York. and to make what may be ldc.i.nated an out-and-out Grant Cabi- lnet. The following is the slate: Freling, luvsen, Folger, Chaffee, of Colorado lFHley, of Missouri, Williamson, of Iowa

THE BANQUET

The banquet in honor of the Delegate in Congress from this Territory, Hon. Granville H. Oury, given at the Palace Hotel last evening, was an occasion which must leave pleasant recollections in the mind of the gentleman whose de- parture for Washington led to this ez- precision of respect and esteem, and all others who were present and participa- ted in the exercises, either gastronomic' or literary, of the evening.
 There were assembled around the banquet board, laden as it was with the most tempting viands which the culina- " art can produce and the choicest wines, those who became residents Of this Territory when it was considered an unknown and remote region, given over to the savage Apaches and the still more despicablew white desperadoes. They have watched the gradual development ol the vast resources of mineral wealth with which our mountains abound; they have watched the slow increase of our popula- tion; they have seen the railroad, that great agent and, in the west, precursor of civilization, traverse the Territory, uniting us with its iron bands into a closer union Wlth other sections Of our common country. There were those there who could look back over the trials and disappointments, the struggles and successes whicL have marked the pro- gress of this Territory, until to-day 1t stands on the very threshold of our glo- rious union of States, with the necessary population, wealth and intelligence to demand for ourselves the rights, benefits and responsibilities of Statehood.
 To those who have been so long identi- fled with the Territory the occasion must have possessed unusual interest not alone growing out of past memories and future prospects, but out of the fact that the gentleman in whose honor they were met, Was one of the pioneers and was about to take his departure for the National Capital to watch over our lm- portant and growing interests.
 At that board were seated the first and the last Delegate in Congress from this Territory, and side by side with them were those who have more recently be come residents of the Territory, but whC none the less respect the pioneers and rejoice in their achievements.
 The literary exercises of the evening were of high character and speak vel for the intelligence and culture Of oul people.
 Taken all in all the occasion Is on, which will long be remembered by those who participated.

A Chicago dispatch says: There is a prospec; of a very marked revival of activity on the Pacific Coast, as the re- suit of speculation at the East, and inte- rior grain operators have been putting mp the price of wheat mainly for the bene- fit of the Russian and California markets. Exports from Atlantic ports last week were only 5O, ,392 barrels of flour. as against l33,1O1 barrels in the corresponding week o' last year, and 73l ,97J bushels of wheat, as against 2,41246l bushels just year ago. But San Francisco received the other day a consignm ent of S1,O42. .750 in Australian gold, to pay shipments of California wheat to Eurepe. 1T the gold which heretofore has been going to Eu- rope shall be consigned direct to San Francisco from Australia, the movement will be of the same benefit to the United States as a whole as if it were carried by way of England to New York. to the ex- tent that if California shall be supplied from Australia the yield of American mines will be permitted to come East, instead of seeking the nearer markets of the Pacific Coast, as it would if it were needed there.

IT is reported that the new admInis- tration will make thorough investiga- ton of the Treasury department under the Sherman regime. It IS also stated that a number of parties are ready to swear to performing private service for the secretary for which they were paid out of government funds. It Is inti- mated that several parties have been promised positions as a reward for dam aging testimony. We do not credit this. It is not at all like Arthur, and if any such promises have been extended, We are satisfied that 1t has not been done by authority and that he will never carry out any such bargain. If the testimony has to be bought, that fact alone is sufli- cient to prevent its being very damaging to the ex-Secretary.

GENERAL SHERMAN Is making his an- nual effort to increase the army. It has become a sort of mania with him Alta California.
 The better way would be to reorgan- ize the army by eliminating a few ambi- tious and incompetent officials and re- place them with private soldiers. The bulk Of the appropriation for the pay of our army goes to the officers and it is safe to say that there are ten times as many of these highly ornamental fellows us there Is any practical use for. The fighting force Of the army could easily be increased one-third without increas- ing the expense to the people by a prac- tical common sense reorganization Of the army. Unless that is done the peo- pie will oppose any increase.

The history of railway progress in the
 United States has demonstrated that the speed of trains can be safely increased in proportion to the strength of the road bed and the reliability of the machinery and appliances used. Steel rails are an important factor in fast running. as are also tough aXles and wheels, the im- proved couplings, switches, brake ap- pliances, etc. A solid roadway, includ- ing staunch bridges and culverts, and the most approved mechanical appli- ances under the control of competent traln-men, are essential to safety at all times. If these conditions are kept in the highest attainable perfection, the speed Of trains can be increased to the maximum without any serious increase of risk Pittsburg Commercial Gazette.

The Guiteau Trial.

There are no new Developments in
the Guiteau trial and it is getting to be
prosy. The evidence showing heredi-
tary insanity in the family is ample, but
it. is useless, for the prisoner shows it in
his conduct enthusiastically. An expert
doctor, the keeper of an asylum, watched
him closely and says he will dwindle
into absolute idiOcy before the trial
is over, under the strain upen his
mind. He speaks very sensibly and has
been upon the witness stand giving his
past history. The idea is slowly fore
ing itself upon the public mind that the
man is actually insane. The testfmo-
ny still goes on and the prosecution has
found they have m ordinary adversary
