C1PLTAL AGRICELTERE.

The derrick for hOistlng the Commissioner of
Agriculture to wide place in the Cabinet hav-
inc been hurried through the Lower House and
trunded over to the other wing of the Capitol
awaits there now the disposition of the grave
and reverend seignioIs. RumOr says that they
contemplate It's ungainly architecture with wry
faces, and one Washington correspondent, hlm-
self an ardent champion of the scheme, gives
glimpse of the true inwardness OF the situation
when he Iamentngly admits that "some OF the

this they will certainly do il they are attentive

up from the rural districts.
For the more farmers and intelligent people

ear of the Executive" the more are they con-

taxpayers cast the bright light of reflection Oh
the political and ornamental agriculture OF
Washington, the more clearly it appears to
them as already getting far more than it gives.
The present annual outlay is near half a mil

The report of the Assembly Committee ap-
pointed to investigate the management OF lie
insurance receiverships is grave condemna-
ton of Judge Westbrook and his judicial
methods 1t will be keenly felt by HIM ana
his friends, even if it results in nothing more
serious than words of censure. The hndihg
will cause no surprise to those who nave
followed the evidence laid before the
Assemblymen, and it emphasizes all the
arguments so often advanced in these columns
TO show the need of radical changes In the
laws governing receivers. The committee de-
clares that there is no disclosure of venallty or
corruption, but "the evils complained Of
(which led to the appointment of the COM
"mittee, are due, in their opinion, to the idlo-
"syncrasies of this Justice, as well as to the
"vices of a system. The greed.O lnteryeners

In view of the prospect of the possible con-
sideration TO-DAY of the Mackey con-
tested election case by the House of Repre-
sentatives, it may be well to show now nimsy
are the accusations that Colonel Mackey has
imposed upon the Elections committee
false forged and garbled testimony" these
charges were first brought by Mr.. DlpOle
more than three months ago. In support OF
them he filed ten ailidavits, only one OF
which specifically charged any alterations IN
the testimony. Even in that affidavit no wit
ness was named whose testimony had been
changed, but the allegations were of general
character. The other nine aihdlvlts dld not
charge any alterations in the testimony. In
answer Colonel Mackcy filed the allidayits OF
eighty-four OF the ninety-four witnesses eN-
amined by him in the contest. Each OF these
made oath that he had carefully read the tes-
timony as printed and that it had not been III
any way altered or garbled. OF the remaining
ten witnesses, whose aflidavits were not pro-
duced. it was shown that one had died and
that the others were abs Mt from home
and could not be reached. In addition to the
sworn statements OF the witnesses themselves,
Colonel Mackey submitted an affidavit from
the stenographer who took the greater part
of the testimony on both sides. In this depo-
sition and in another since obtained the
stenocraphcr testified that he had compared
with his original stenographic notes the testi-
mony as printed of thirty-three OF the wit
nesses examined for Colonel Mackey, and that
the testimony of those persons as printed cor
responded in every particular with the original
notes. After careful consideration OF the
whole matter the Elections Committee decided
that Mr.. Dibble had utterly failed to substan-
tate his accusations and that there was no
| reason whatever to believe that the testimony
had been changed to his injury. Although
the evidence in the case disclosed that the
| most shameless frauds were committed III
the interest of O'COnnOr, yet to entltle
Colonel Mackey to the seat the committee
found that it was only necessary to count the
vote exactly as it was counted by the Demo
cratic precinct managers on the night OF NO.

managers Colonel Mackey has a majority OF

BY the death of Moses Taylor New-York is
deprived of man who has been for many
years conspicuous figure in financial and
commercial circles. He possessed marked
ability; and his life was eminently successful.
Not only did he gather wealth but he laid in
store good reputation. In business matters his
judgment was remarkably sound, and his
opinion was eagerly sought and followed.

he ruled a line, and silently handed the
