He Had 'em Sac.

A well-known insurance agent Of this
city a few days ago while out on col
Letting tour, rode in his buggy out to
Ed. Stoves & Sons Lumber Yard at the
Sunset track, on East Commerce street.
Albert Stoves gave his visitor cordial
welcome. and the two repaired to q
neighboring refreshment place. The
insurance man was made to feel so good
that when he started for home a little
late in the evening, the horse and buggy
was left behind hitched at the lumber
yard. On arriving home, he missed his
morse and buggy and at once accused his
wife OF stealing his buggy. and thought
u real mean In her making him walk so
far home. His good wife protested
against the charge, and the Insurance
man started down town at once for the
purpose Of advertising his horse and
buggy as lost or stolen" when his re-
collection came back that he had left his
rig out at the lumber yard.

OUR CLUBBING RATES.

A large number of the State press are down on Attorney Gen
 eral Garland. One of our ex- changes tells us how he stood
 in the background and let others dc the fighting during the war, and then from '6S to "A, was equally as inactive and let Newton and other grand, patriotic men, redeem the State from carpet-bag rule, when he, (Mr. Garland boldly came out and took in the spells, and for a number of years has yir- tually been the political boss in Ar kansas. While we have no enlni- tv toward Mir. Garland, yet will say emphatically we are once and forever opposed to bossism in pol
 iiics, az the people are capable of bossipg themselves. One of our State papers puts it thus: "Attor- ney-General Garland is politically dead duck. The telephone bus ness is simply the last shot that brought him down. He it was that was on Churchill's bond, he il was that gave his opinion as a lawyer that the erasing ot name from the bond invalidatod it, and ho it was that as governor, approved the bond knowing that it was worth less. This Attorney General Gar land is the same A. II. Garland that is now trying 10 saddle the whole Churchill dedication onto the taxpayers by crawling through a hole in the bond that he made himtelf while representing the peo- pie in the capacity of governor. No wonder hundred of democrats are disgusted and are looking about for some avenue of escape"

W.ASHINGrON LETTER.

From our Regular Correspondent
 ashington, D. c. Feb, 10th, 1886
 In political circles the pending issNe between the President and Senate continues to be the chief topic of discussion. Another chapter was added to 1t when Sen ator Morgan, of Alabama, unex- pectedly and entirely upon his own responsibility, presented to the Senate a series of resolutions crit icising the recent Edmuuds dem. onstration. MT. Morgan pre- scribes heroic treatment for of fended Senatorial dignity. He says, let the Senate impeach Attor- uev General Garland for retnsing it certain papers if his alleged of fense is of the class of oll'enses for which the head of departments may be impeached, and removed from olliue. This is the logical outcome of MT. Garland's refusal. Let the Judiciary Committee sun
 mon the alleged offender before the bar of the Senate. It is ac. l,uowIeiged that the Morgan Ieso- lutions go to the pith of the matter and that they are good offset to the Elmunds' resolutions con demning the Administration fer refusing to submit private docu- ments to the Senate's inspection.
 The Senate's position in this matter is glaringly inconsistent. The charge of secrecy in connec- ton with Executive determina- tions in regard to appointments comes with bad grace from Sen ators whose own deliberations re- garding these same appointments is yelled in a secrecy they try to make impenetrable, and action is so concealed as to avoid aii responsibility. The whole gist of the contention of the Senate majority is that the President has no right to with hold reasons, and yet the Senate claims a right 10 consider all Executive business with closed doors. It can refuse without explanation to confirm the Presidents nomina- tions, bat yet the Presi dent has no warrant or authority to inquire into, or review the Senate's refu- sal. There are indications that some of the Republican Senators are not blind to the inconsistency of the position into which Mir. Ed mnnds has led them, and they may refuse 10 follow him any farther. But with Mr. EdmundS it is mat ter of life or death. His term in the Shnate expires in March, 1887. If he goes out of the Senate, he most likely goes out of public life. His state election occurs next fall, and the legislature will then be ehosen which will elect a United States Senator to fill the seat now occupied by Geo. F. Edmunds. s.
