Yesterday morning seemed more like De-
cember than early October, and most people
whom we saw felt vastly more like staying
at home by the stove than going to the fair.
Still, the weather which Capital fair had for
its opening day yesterday, was no worse than
many other agricultural societies have had
this fall. and so the sturdy grangers put on
their top coats, mittens and mufiers, and
went at the business of managing their Sec
ond fair. The members of the grange have
worked well, and the result was a good show
all round, some notes of which follow:

A PLEA FOR OPEN DOORS.
TELLER TALKS TO THE SENATORS
AGAINST SECRET SESSIONS.

The Commerce Regulators Give Boston q
Black Eye and Decide a CIvil Rights
Case Internal Revenue Repeal Breaks
Out Again in the House-A Sanguine
Frisco Man-CapitaI Briefs.
WASHINGTON CITY, Feb. l7.-The senators
got of their subject Thursday while debating
the resolution to require the secretary OF war
to give senator's lists OF thoss TO whom copies
of the Record of the Rebellion are TO be
given, and the talk drifted to secret sessions.
On this subject Teller declared that he con.
sidered secret sessions of the senate entirely
un-republican, except perhaps when there
was treaty pending which ought to ba con-
sdered in the secrecy of executive session.
but there was no mo re reason why the ques-
ton Of confirming executive appointments
should be considered behind closed doors
than there was why the senate should legis-
late behind closed doors-as it had once
done
When asked by Plumb and Hawley wheth-
or ca inet meetings and supreme court DELHI
erations should be kept secret, Teller replied
that what he insisted upon was that when
the secretary Of department made an adj
Indication of question, that adjudication
should be made public. He did not claim
that when the president called his cabinet
about him their discussions should be
public, but he did say that when the cabinet
came to u determination, that determination
was the property of the whole people. The
president had no right to conceal it, and
each member of the cabinet ought TO be COM
PEELED to take the responsibility Of the adj
vice given to the president.
And so, if there was any subject which the
senate desired to consider in private, and
which ought to be considered in private, the
doors, OH the application of two senator's,
might be closed; but as soon as the matter
was determined every senator's vote should
be made known. The question of the senator
from Connecticut was trite one and not
new or original 1t had been asked by peo-
pie who did not consider the difference be-
tween the process of arriving at IA conclusion
and the conclusion itself. Thesupreme court
filed its decisions when they were made, and
the position of each member OF the court
upon it was known. But yet no one knew
how members of the senate voted on qnes-
lions of infinitely more Importance than the
questions presented to the supreme court
II he could inform his constituents how he
had voted on this or that nomination, it
would be satisfactory to them, and he should
be ashamed of himself il he ever cast vote
in the senate. secret or open, that he would
not be willing to have published. As to con-
sidering treaties in secret Teller said treaty
comes here of Importance to the people, a
treaty in which the whole people of the
United States are interested, and yet we sit
here with closed doors and refuse to assume
the responsibility of our votes for rel lection
or ratification.

SkIRMlsHlNG ON THE TARIFF.
Another Brush In the House Over the IRE
pressible Subject.

presslDle SUBJECT.
WASHINGTON CITY Feb. THE ire.
pressule tariff question came to the front
again Thursday while the house was in com,
mittee of the whole on the deficiency bill,
probably preventing final action on that
measure for another day. Kerr of Iowa
was the man who started the debate Off on
the tariff track, by saying, with reference
to the internal revenue SYSTEM that the Dem.
cratic party in Missouri had passed resolu-
tions favoring the repeal of the Ubiquitous
system. Hatch said it had not, and chal.
lenged proof of the correctness of Kerr's
statement. Henderson Of Iowa wanted to
know why tax had been put on tobacco
and Hatch said it had been done for the best
of reasons-because the government need
ed it
Henderson, again inquistive, asked how
the government happened to need the money,
and Milliken of Maine inquired if the gentle
man from Missouri didn't help make the
necessity To this last inquiry Hatch re-
piled that the gentleman from Missouri never
shirked his share of that responsibility.
Randall thought that no matter what had
been done in the past, all should join hands
and strike from the statute book the iniqui-
tous tobacco section. Appla use followed this
remark. Hatch said he would join in that
WHEN tue ueDls Oh lhe government were ldtu
and the tax on clothing and fuel of poor peo-
Pile had been reduced.
Randall suggested that the war debt was
in no danger of not being paid Hatch
finally declared that he was opposed to the
repeal of the internal taxes until the taxes
on the necessares of life are first reduced
"Now," shouted several Republican MEM
bers, ~let us hear from Virginia"
Burnes remarked upon the manner in
which the house bubbled over when tobacco

The interviews printed in the Chicss

The interviews printed in the Chicago
papers on Blaine's letter show that many
persons yet consider his nomination q
probability. The ARGUS does not coins
eide in this view, and there are several
reasons why it does not. In the first
place very large element of the party
had come to look upon Blaine in the light
OF an Old Man Of the Sea and they do not
attempt to conceal their delight at being
relieved of the incubus, There is every
disposition to take Blaine at his word and
consider him as definitely out of the race.
In the second place, whatever may be the
general opinion concerning Mr.. Blaine's
integrity as a man and politician, there
can be no doubt whatever of his sagacity
and the clcarness OF his mental vision.
He therefore sees what is apparent to
others that he cannot at this time be
elected president Of the United States.
Go into whatever city and town through
out the north you please and in every
precinct will be found dozen or so re-
pubicans who declare that they will not
again vote for James G. Blaine. Blaine
knows that in the present evenly balanced
condition of parties his chances would be
hopeless unless he received the practically
unanimous support of the republicans,
and this he realizes he cannot have. He
f,,r hot
would kill him politically beyond any
hope of resurrection. and he is not ready
to be shelved Just yet.

New YORK, Feb. 17-An armed force Of
English cavalry has entered the territory of
Venezuela and taken possession, in the name
of the queen, of the Yuruari territory, on
the ground that the Venezuelan republic
contemplated building railroad to the Yur-
mari section, which road would infringe upon
admitted territorial rights of the English
government. This action has not been Who'll ly
unexpected by the Venezuelans but they
hoped that the large American interests
which center In Venezuela would deter Eng

policy as they have adopted.
Such was not the case however, and it is

the tariff was the main question, and that
Mr. Cleveland had made thu issue. Other

by Lieutenant Governor Robertson, ex-Gov-

others, and the sentiment decidedly was that
while the tariff was highly important issue,
the prominent question in Indiana was an
