WAsHTNGToN CITY, Dec lS-A bill was
reported favorably to the senate yesterday
to establish mint at Denver. Riddleberger
address the senate on his resolution for a
reorganization OF the senate. He said its OBJ
ject was to have a change in presiding Off
GERS, and criticised Chairman Ingalls,, who,
he said, had been more frequently out of Or
der than himself [Riddlebergerl He then
wanted to withdraw the resolution, and to
this Dawes Objected, while Harris of Ten
nessee eulogized Ingalls, as an impartial and
efficient presiding officer, ard moved to ta-
Bile the resolution. The chair heaped Goals
OF Ere on Riddlebergers head by
deciding that he could Withdraw his resou-
ton, as it did not need unanimous consent to
permit him to do So The tariff debate was
then resumed, but nothing new was said on
the much debated subject. An amendment
reducing the duty on car wheels was re-
jected. The house adjournment resolution
was received and referred. The conference
report retiring Gen. A. J. Smith as major
was agreed to- Cullom introduced bill to
abolish special taxes on distilled spirits at
places where the goods are delivered by the

session was then held and the senate ad-

a PICTURESQUE CHARACTER.

Mr.. 4. A. Earle has sold The
Landmark" at White River Junction,
though 10 whom we have not heard.
He viii probably rest awhile, get I'M
easy and then start another paper
somewhere and make good thing in
selling ou;, as he has usually done.
Earle is strange mixture Of rough
ness and delicacy. His personalities
would be intolerable but for their wit,
and occasionally he writes tender o.
bituary or beautiful poem which re-
veals the other side of the man. He
has combined more business sense and
editorial nonsense than the average
man in his profession Politicians have
dreaded him; some have fought him
and others have bought him: finally
both classes have concluded that he
was good man 10 let alone. He has
been in the habit of giving the local
news, and especially that which other
papers missed or omitted. He set at
defiance all rules of journalism aud
mixed news and opinion indiscrimi-
nately. The most commonplace event
was thus sometimes made exceedingly
apmsing. Ills talent was adapted to
the frontier, but not being ready TO be
shot. he has preferred to stay where |
people laugh. He has enjoyed Jokes
upon himself as we'll as those upon
his neighbors and we have no doubt
he will consider this ..obituary" a
first-class compliment. For years and
years he aspired to be consul-no
matter where-anywhere to be consul.
Dut failing to get appointed he made
ourney to Europe ON his own account,
going and coming in the steerage, and
listing no country but Ireland, al
hongh he is not Irish. He finally
anne to the conclusion. at least, we !
suppose he did, that it is better to
eign in the tents Of wickedness than {
e door-keeper in any foreign coun- '
~, and it is greatly to be hoped that y
is retirement at this time has no po- |
tical significance. He win carry in {

There is considerable feeling man
ifested because Governor Dillingham;
followed in the footsteps Of Governor
Ormsbee, and appointed a citizen of \.
York as member of his staff. Col.
Robert j. Kimball is legal resident
of New York city, and il is stated vot-
ed there at recent election. He has
country residence in West Randolph,
where his family spends the summer,
but all his business is in New York
city. and the reason of his appointment
is a mystery.-Argus.
The Argus has been grossly deceived
and imposed upon by some one. Robert
j. Kimball has kept home here, and
occupied it part of the year for over
twenty years. lie gave up his legal
residence in Brooklyn. n. y, not New
York city, four years ago, voting there
for the last time in the presidential elec-
ton in 1884. For the past two years

dolph, his native town, aud voted here.
lie now spends the larger part of the
year here with his family. but keeps
winter residence in Brooklyn. lie was
here and voted at the state election in
September and also in November. A
part Of his business is in New York
where he is connected with firm deal
ing largely in Government bonds and
strictly first class investments, not spec
ulative securities He is as much or
more in the state and as thoroughly in.
terestcd in and identified with the in.
terests of Vermont as Hon. Frederick
Billings, Hon. j. G.. Mccullough, G.
w. Hooker, and many men the state
has been proud to honor. He is per-
sonal friend of Governor Dillingham;
and was doubtless appointed on that
account as well as for his eminent fit
ness for the position. We are glad,
aside from local pride, to see the GOV.
recognize these Vermont boys, who.
leaving the state poor, come back to
their old homes after successful bus
mess career, TO reside within her bor-
ders. Will the Argus kindly correct
its article.

that if it is continued and the surplus
is applied to the purchase of bonds the
result will be the loss Of many millions
of dollars. lie accepts the recommend
alton of the secretary of war that there
should be some plan to test the fitness
OF officers for promotion. He has no
sympathy with those who would have
the Apaches returned to their reserva-
tions. Treat them kindly but keep
them in restraint far from the scenes of
their former lives. He thinks that
the navy has been managed intelligent
ly, and the postal service shows an in
crease in business. In regard to pub
lie buildings he thinks that the right Of
a community TO the possession of one
should be determined by the amount of
the gross receipts for the government.
The pay of fourth class postmasters
ought to be raised, clerks should be
classified and the railroad service in
the matter of mail, needs revision. He
congratulates the government on the
reclamation Of eighty millions Of acres
Of public lands from usurpation and
thinks The good work should 90 on. lie

restrictions should he divided to the

The people of the interior states are
getting somewhat stirred up over the
atrocities of the White Caps. This is
an organization something after the
style ofthe Ku-Klux which undertakes
to regulate the morals of community
outside Of legal process. At first their
acts were looked upon as pranks but
now they'haye become a terror in sec
tons of Ohio, Indiana and Illinois. To
other outrages they do not hesitate to
add murder. The governors Of these
states are taking measures to suppress
the organization. According 10 re-
ports this is very necessary step to
take as people are being driven from
