took upon herself the matter of looking
after her trunk, but Notwithstanding
orders were given the baggage master
to check the trunk long before the
train arrived, it was not done, and the
trunk was left behind when the train
started. When the baggage master
was demonstrated with for this per-
Torrance, he sagely remarked that the
lady might have been attending to her
own business. This baggage master,
by the way, has reputation for surly
discourtesy, and we have heard of not
few cases where he has refused to
check baggage when requested by pas
scngers, causing them much annoy

wholly unjuslilied in the view some of

object Of annoying them and defeating

VENERABLE THROUGH AGE.

The witty Moline Dispatch makes bril-
liantpun on the ARGUS calling it, Argoose. .
Way back in the realms of space sounding
through the aisles of time, there comes a
faint and almost breathless whisper of that
ancient and venerable joke 1t
comes to us incrusted with the moss ofages,
crippled and enfeebled with long and severe
usage, being as it was the first youthful
conception Of what was funny and banded
about by many mouths. Years ago, back
in the beginning of time when it first saw
the light it was admitted, not as possess
ing merit, but as being fair, but the adj.
vancing steps Of civilization had swept
it aside as decrepit. and it was thought
buried generations ago.untilithe Dispatch re
surrected it nd'again it sees the light, rather
dazed from its long sleep; and presents il
self to pubic who wender how long 1t
has been since last they saw IT, It may be
new to youthful readers, the graybeards
all remember It.

WARREN INVESTIGATION

Aid. Bennett was banked again in his
attempt to have Mr.. Warren brought to an
account. To say that any one opposes
Mr.. Bennett is enough to syy that he was
beaten, for the way in which he attempts
to reach any desired object is always suffi
cent to defeat him. In this instance,
when the council had voted that all charg-
es must be supported by an affidavit, he
makes them without, and of course they
fail, But behind all this remains the fact
that charges of serious nature have been
made against Mr.. Warren, and it is surely
due. both to Mr. Warren and the city, that
they be investigated Of the truth of the
charges made, the ARGUS has no knowl-
edge, and can express no opinion; but they
attack Mr.. Warren in both his personal
and official capacities and he is doubtless
as anxious as is Mr.. Bennett-or rather Mr.
BENEFITS master-that they should be
looked into. 1t is not piece of friendship
to Mr. Warren to try to choke of any in
vestigation.

BLAINE AND THE SOUTH.

In letter declining an invitation to be
present at the closing of the Atlanta Exhi-
bition, Mr.. Blaine said: s'I congratulate
the people of Georgia and of the whole
country upon the great success that has
attended the enterprise. 1t is evidence or
a reconstruction of material prosperity
throughout the south that is gratifying to
every patriotic man. Good government 10
essential to prosperity among the people,
and in truth prosperity among the people
is the ssfest guaranty of good government.
Discomfort will always breed disorder
Contentment upholds the reign of law
And the question the people of Georgia
and the south are asking is, what does
Mr.. Blaine mean? Does he mean to say
that we are well governed2-we certainly
ton that we do not need any more Ma
homes? The republican party has been
telling us throughout that we are set of
barbarians, not fit to govern ourselves, and
now the great apostle of republicanism,
Jim Blaine, tells .us that we are well gov
erned; there must be something wrong
here. Either Blaine has fallen from grace
or else he is beginning to appreciate the
fact that the democratic government has
brought the south out from the deepest
sloughs of legal and business depression
that it was possible for even republican
regime to cast it. Georgia can well look

PROJECTION AND OUR FARMERS.

Senator Beck in a recent speech in the
senate made the following statement:
II went to Winnipeg last summer and
there saw thriving city of $1,000 people,
with railroad about finished to Lake
Superior. 1t was being pushed with great
energy and abundant means westward to
the Pacific ocean, to reach the trade of
Australia, China, Japan and the Indies on
English soil, with cheap ships ready to
furnish free goods for transportation over
this continent to Europe. l went west of
Winnipeg nearly 200 miles on that road,
of wheat. clearing forty bushels to the
acre, weighing sixty and seventy
three pounds to the bushel, and was as
sured by undoubted authority that on
Peace river 1900 miles northwest of
where | was, wheat was being produced
in immense quantity, equal to the best !
saw In Winnipeg, while great herds of
cattle were being fed without cost on as
fine, grassy land as the northwest affords.
In short, between our northwestern line of
40 degrees and 81 deg. 40 min. (Gen. Cass'
fighting point,) there is country owned
by England with greater grain and stock
growing capacity than all the lands on
the Baltic, the Black sea and the Mediter-
ranean combined. The land laws of Can
ada are now as liberal as ours as 10 the
homestead, presumption and tree claims.
People are crowding there rapidly, and
towns are springing up as If by magic.
Their great railway will reach the Pacific
at the grand harbor of Puget sound be
fore our National Pacific win, and it will
be extended eastward, promptly to Mon
treal The distance TO Liverpool will be
600 miles shorter than any American line
can get the wheat of Dakota there; the
best steel rails are being placed ON the
road, 100 tons to the mile, at $56 per ton,
while on our parallel line to the Northern /
Pacific like rails (protected) cost about $70
- 81 400 mile in rails alone in favor of /
the Canadian Pacific.
The above is Mr.. Beck's judgement as
to the resources of the great capacity of
the Manitoba grain country. but it is not
by other facts. Few people
here realize how vast that section is, and
how full of resources, and what serious
plying the markets of the world.
The st. Louis Republican states that:
Mr. Beck's argument is that the farmers
and wheat growers Of the United States

WHITAKER.

1t would be convenient if Cadet Whit
aker would formulate his wishes and let us
know exactly what win satisfy him. II
seems that he is not satisfied with the last
court which tried him, any more than he
was with the first, although the last one
was specially organized for his acquittal.
Perhaps he wants congress to take the
matter in hand, and would like Grant put
back at the head of the army just to Pre-.
side over the trial of those slit ears 1t
looks as if no court without Grant and
Howard as members would wholly satisfy
Whitaker, and we have ample reason to
believe that the whole object of his trial
is to satisfy him. The American people
got enough of the business long time ago.
