We give the Argus credit for not being
unreasonable in It's expectations OF pubic
favor. Itsays il "never has had any reason
TO complain that i,s subscription Inst was

terprise that concerns the public should
and will always receive such support from
the public as its merits may command, and
when it receives this its managers ought to
be satifed and have no reason to complain.

That threadbaro topic of conversation, the
weather, has taken on new interest since
cold Probs" has bumped himself to trans
plant slice of the Arctic circle to the orst-
while pleasant valley of the Potomac. Tho
past twenty-four hours has been sort of
meteorological pOus cafe that has been pecu-
liarly trying TO all, especially so to those
who, from motives of health and economy,
prefer pedestrianism to the luxury Of q bobtail
car or even n coupe On Saturday morning
mt an early hour storm of sleCt set in, just at
the time the work on this able journal was
completed, when the fat reporter, panoplied
with gum coat and galoshes, cssayed to reach
his palatial residence to seek needed ropose.
The broad pavement of the avenue was n
sheet of CLASSY ice, and the scribe nervOusly
picked his way over it, chccrcd by the thought
of snug fire and 10 o'clock nap ut the end
of his Journey. Tho street lamps were all
darkness. No ray of light pierced the thick
gloom of the night, notwithstanding that tho
moon had long since gone west in obedi-
once to the advice of tho sage who
discovered Whitelaw Reed. At last the
pencil pusher paused before his own
doorway, and, after bracing for n supreme
effort, cndeavorcd to climb the stops. Then
came tho climax, when that naughty spirit
flung its arms wildly in tho air, smote tho
brown stone steps with its rear elevation, aud
caromed or on to the curbstonc. The police
man who slept under the porch turned un-
easily as the moans of the fallen man disturbed
his dreams. When the reporter regained con-
sciousness he ran his fingers through his hair,
feeling for tho atlas bone of his spinal column,
aud crawlcd painfully within tho house. As
he knelt to apply aruica to his bruised form he
prayed long aud fcrvently for the Washing
ton Gas Light company, that gorgeous monop-
oily that pinchcs the street lamps to give Rep
resentative Blower and Senator Slowcoach
free gas at tho expense of the life and limbs
of worthy citizens, and for the congress that
persists in allowing this bloated corporation

The bill introduced Saturday on request by
Senator Miller to amend the laws regulating
immigration transfers the control of immi-
grants from the state or local officials to
United States commissioners TO be under the
control of the secretary Of the treasury.

ton. There are, under the present law, only
two boards of immigration, one at New York
and the other at San Francisco. It is under
stood that one object of the bill is to do away
with the present local board now serving at
New York, whose administration has given
rise to much criticism, although the bill is
general in its scope. Senator Miller dsclaims
the authorship of the bill, and in introducing
