The Cost of the White House,

Most people believe that the Sso,- 900 year that the President gets as his salary is the sum total. This is mistake. The estimate of the amount which Congress is to appropriate this year lies before me, open at the page relating to the President. see that $56,o64 IS asked for him, in addition to his salary of $50, 900, to pay the salaries Of his subordinates and clerks. His private secretary is paid S3,a5o, his assistant private secretary, a,25o, his stenographer ST, 500; five messen- gers each ST, 200; steward ST co; two door keepers who each get ST, POO; four clerks at good salaries; one tele- graph operator; two ushers getting SI, 200 and $I, ,4ooj a night usher get. ting ST, 200; a watChman who gets S9oo; and man to take care of fires who receives S864 year.
 In addition to this there is set down SS,ooo for incidental expenses, such as stationery, carpets and the care of the Presidents stables.
 And further on, under another head. ing, there is demand for nearly S4o,- 900 more.
 Of this, SIa,5oo is for repairs and furnishing the White House; $2. 500 |, for fuel, S4,ooo is for the green house and SI5.ooo is for gas, matches ano the stables. The White House all told costs the country, in connection with the President, considerably over SI25, 900 a year .-Ex.

HOTEL ETIQUErTE.
An Experience In a Montana Hosteiry for
 One short Day.
BILL ME IN BOSTON GLOBE.

BILL ME IN BOSTON GLOBE,
 Speaking of walters reminds me of one at Glendive, Montana. We had to telegraph ahead in order to get place to sleep, and when we registered the landlord showed out an old double entry journal for us to record our names and postoftice address in. The office was the bar, and before we could get rooms assigned us we had to wait forty-hve minutes for the landlord to collect pay for thirteen drinks and lick personal friend. Finally, when he got around by me, he told me that l could sleep in the night bartender's bed, as he would be up all night, and might possibly get killed and never need it again anyhow. It would cost me s4 cash in advance to sleep one night in the bartender's bed, he said, and the house was so blamed full that he and his wife had got to wait until things got kind of quieted down, and then they would have to put mat tress on the fifteen ball pool-table and sleep there.
 called attention to my valuable valise that had been purchased at great cost and told him that he would be safe to keep that behind the bar till l paid, but he said he wasn't in the second, hand valise business. so paid in advance. It was humilia- ting, but he had the edge on me.
 At the teatable I noticed that the waiter was a young man, who evi- dently had not been always thus. He had the ar of one who yarns to have some one tread on the tail of his coat. Weakness, with me, is on of my char actefistlcs. It is almost a passion. It Is the result of personal injuries re- Ceived in former years at the hand of parties who exCelled me in brute force, and who succeeded in drawing me out in conversation, as it were, till I made remarks that were injudi. cioIs.
 So did not disagree with the wal. ter, although had grounds. When he came around and sported Tn my ear, "Salt pork, antelope and cold beans," at the same time leaning hls full weight on my back, while he evaded the revenue laws by retailing his breath to the guests without a license, l thought 1 would call for what he had the most of, so l said if he didn't mind and it wouldn't be too much trouble. l would take cold beans.
 will leave 1t to the calm, impas- sionate and bipartisan reader to state whether that remark ought to create Ill i,elIng. l do not think il ought. However, he was irritable, and life to him seemed to be cold and dark, so he went to the general delivery win.- dow that led into the cold bean labor atory, and remarked in hoarse, isso- lent and ironical voice;
 "Nother suspicious looking charac. ter wants cold beans"

MR.. ECKELS

Some apology is perhaps necessary for
the appearance of our editorial page this
week, and the absence of some things that
might perhaps he expected from Mr.. Eek

Mr.. Eckels has been unable to do his line
of work this week, all of which has fallen,
Unexpectedly, on the writer, who has been
cramped by the further disability of his

Mr.. Eckels, as usual in a political cam
paign, eXerted himself beyond his strength,
and In consequence is confined 10 his bed

the exigencies of the campaign to forgo
his rest on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday

THE RESULT,


The republicans have succeeded after a
desperate effort In eleCtlng their nominees
for state senator, sheriff and county judge.
Pridlng themselves on the outcome on
these offices they are Boosting great vic
tory for republican party principles In the
county of La Sale. They have, In meas
ure at least assumed that the county Is
again republican and the day of democratic
domination Is at an end.
We have studied the result with some
care and We confess our utter inability to
perceive any reason why the republican
managers should plume themselves on
having made any decided inroad ON demo
cratic rule In the county's affairs. 1t Is
certain that they have gained nothing
through the votes OF the mem ers of their
own party The election Of the three of.
ficers named Is due, not to the ballots of
republicans, but 10 those cast by democrats
who for one reason or another saw fit to
prove recreant to their party allegiance
Without the aid of democrats not single
republican candidate would have been tri.
umphant.
Messrs Reinhlrdt Snyder and Morris
sey owe their official prefermen, entirely to
the rotten condition of affairs existing in
La Sale. That they do SO is not at all
Creditable 10 the democracy of that city, or
at least to that portion of ii who are appar,
emily democrats only when everything is
their own way That such a state of affairs
should exist in the democratic party Is per.
haps temporarily unfortunate, but it Is
scarcely to be deplored. 1t simply neces-
states, within the ensuing two years, the
more stringent enforcement of party dis
cipline and the complete reorganization of
the party. Men who are democrats only
when their personal pleasure suits them TO
be democrats ought no. to be tolerated as
counselors In the affairs of the party.
La Sale county is yet democratic and
will continue to be if democrats, who are
democrats because they believe In the
principles of the party, have the courage to
demand and the will TO enforce thorough
and complete party discipline on those who
have joined themselves with the republl.
cans In the campaign which has just come
TO close. Defeat for years TO come is far
preferable TO success gained through al
lowing to go unrebuked the course of the
men who have aided, abetted and given
comfort in this an important election to the
enemies of the democratic party.

THE DEFEAT OF MORRISON.

One of the most deplorable incidents o.
the late political contest in this state is the
defeat of the Hon. VIM. Il. Morrison.
There is not in the whole American con.
gress truer, purer. or ADLER man. The
loss Is one that will be felt by the whole
country, for men of his cast-clear. headed,
far seeing, answering in rectitude of pur
pose and fearless in the pursuit of the
right-are always scarce In our national
legislature. No one ever dared to assail
him on the ground Of want of personal
integrity or of purity and lofty patriotism
in his aims But in his stern battle against
that monopolistic greed and rapacity in be-
half of which the legislation of congress is
tending more and more at every successive
session, he encountered a force which, II
is feared, no American statesman will
hereafter be able successfully TO Withstand.
The deliberation of congress, instead of be-
ing directed toward devising measures for
the good of the whole people, has largely
degenerated into concocting plans for the
promotion of the interests and the upbuild
ing of particular sections and classes. A
power has arisen in the halls of our ma
tional councils that is more potent than the
representatives of the people. 1t is the
lobby. Its devices to influence legislation
are intinite-the main force, however, be
ing hard cash. 1t was the grand fact that
Morrison was always above the reach Of
the machinations of this unhallowed crew
that has wrought his present overthrow
He Is called free trader--a term which q
little coterie of doctrinaires, Lchiefy In
New York and New England-by their
extremel notions and violent propositions,
have made odious. But Morrison never
was in any cognate sense of such delusions
a free trader. He was tariff man, and a
protective" tariff man out and out, In the
best and only honest sense of that expires
sion. The whole nation admits that the
present tariff, the outgrowth of the wholly
exceptional state of things during the great
civil war, Is honeycombed with abuse, In
Justice and outrage. Morrison proposed
to reform some of those abuses In doing
so 1t was impossible to avoid stepping upon
the toes of some such band of public ROB-
bers as the great Syracuse salt monopoly,
the grea, despoilers of the rapidly disap'
pearing American forests and robbers OF
the public domain known as the lumber
kings, the Standard oil thieves and so forth
and 80 on. II WAS TO reform these abuses,
and to protect" the mass of the people
against their unconscionabls robbery, that
Morrison bent all his energies to effect a
wise, honest and judicious reform of the
tariff.
But the gang" dreaded the ultimate

in quite bad bodily condition, one arm being
partially disabled by paralysis. He takes
his defeat philo,ophically, for a man who
was slaughtered sin the house of his
friends" and will no doubt, with rest and
quiet, soon again recover his health. 1t is
quite likely that had he been able to have
made vigorous canvass. the result as to
sheriff would have been different.

will draw 70 himself clentage that will

own party, and the respect Of every right

sailed and villltied by the worst elements
of the democratic party, who found ready

conducted the republican campaign against
him He could have received the support
OF these men in his own party if he had

would not have elected him.

He was MOI defeated by anything said of
him by the venal press that opposed him
and the charaCterless men who maliciously
falsified about him. He ran more than one
hundred ahead of his ticket in Ottawa
he carried Fall River-he received more
votes in the county, outside of La Sale
and MENDOZA, than his party ticket, dispite
the fact that in the towns Of Freedom,
Ophir and Wallace he ran behind his party
ticket. because of his having decided
lawsuits against party friends while acting
MS a judge upon the bench.
1t is quite certain that Judge Gilbert's
defeat will be benefit to himself In every
point Of view. 1t is equally certain that 1t
will not result In any benefit, politically or
to the miserable clique of scala
wags who have SO necessarily barked at his
heels during the past campaign. They
have made themselves odious to the party,
and they will be forever barred from the
councils of the democratic party.
