these nominations for good, he will
begin to talk with great earnest
about something else.
The Agricultural Department bill
is now ready for the Presidents sig
nature, and there is little doubt
about that being promptly affixed.
If President Cleveland appoints "a
Secretary of Agriculture, Commits
sioner Coleman will be the man.
Representative Houch, of Tennes-
see, who is trying to boom Malone
into the Cabinet, has received a letter
from Ben Butler endorsing Malone
for Postmaster General. Stop n
moment and think, dear reader, of
the combination, Butler and Malone.
What a pair they would make. 1t
would be exceedingly hard to make
it three of a kind, and to make it
fours wound be impossible. Butler
endorses Malone but who endorses
Butler, that's tho interesting ques-
ton.
The House committee ON Ways
and Means will endeavor to get up
a compromise tariff bill embodying
those features of the Mills and Sen
ate bills that both sides a accept
without too great a backdown. But
owing to the short time left to the
Fiftieth Congress it is doubtful If
anything comes of it. 1t is said
that John Wanamaker, the man who
is to get a seat in the coming cab
met because he raised $500, 900 for
the Republican corruption fund,
has bought a residence in this city
for 10000. lie is making politics
quite an expensive luxury.
The advance guard of the grand
army Of Republican bread-and-b but
ter patriots has arrived in Washing
ton. Every man of them wants an
office. In less than six months some
OF them who are now asking for big
positions will be trying to compro-
mise on a place as messenger or
watchman in some Of the Depart
ments.
The House committc on Terrific
ries will decide on "Wednesday as to
the adyisability OF reporting the bill
admitting Utah; also, Mr.. Spring
er's second "omnibuts" bill admit
ting Arizona, Wyoming and Idaho.
Speaker Carlisle says he looks
forward with pleasure to. giving up
the cares Of the office he has held
so long. 1t is generally conceded
that he has made one of the most
impartial Speakers tho House has
ever had.
Mr.. Cleveland has had to send in
another veto. He could not see
why a widow whose husband died in
1888 of typhoid fever could be en-
titled to receive a pension.
The Senate's rejection of the
British Extradition treaty was by
the decisive vote of SO to Is, nor
was the division ON party lines.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
WASHINGTON, ID. c.,
February z, 1889.

President Cleveland and Secretary
Bayard have every right to be yroud
over their action in the Samoan mat
ter. They have made the greatest
bully of the nineteenth century
Bismark-get down on his marrow
bones and acknowledge himself in
the wrong, and promise to do better
in The future. What is to come out
Of this Samoan squabble remains to
be seen, but up to the latest data
American rights and honor we're in
tact, and likely to remain so.
The refusal of Senator Allison to
bury his presidential aspirations by
becoming Secretary of the Treas
ury for General Harrison has knock
ed the cabinet makers silly. They
do not seem able to pull themselves
together yea, or to know what to say
next. 1t is believed that Jno. Sher-
mar chuckles to himself every time
he gets in q dark place over Har-
rison's trouble in making up his
cabinet.
Representative Springer is a hap
Ply nan After working for many
weary month against q determined
opposition he has the satisfaction of
seeing the Oklahoma bill passed by
the House with a good, healthy ma
jority. The bill now goes to the
Senate where the fight will again be-
gin, but owing to the shortness of
the session it will have to be made
sharp and quick by the friends of
the measure Or it will be lost. John
Bushyhead, Ex-Governor Of the
Cherokee nation, says the President
has promised him to veto the bill
should it get through the Senate.
A strong appeal to the public in
favor Of American shipping was
mode by the American Shipping
League which held It's annual ses-
sion here last week. Friday evening
a public meeting was held at which
number Of prominent Democrats
and Republicans made speeches
commanding the work undertaken
by the League. A notable feature
Of the speeches was the compliment
tary manner in which the Republi-
can speakers alluded to Secretary
Whitney. Representative Boutelle
Of Maine, called him the ''cnter-
prising and wide awake Secretary
Of the Navy" etc. When one vt
oil familiar with the Navy Depart
meut udder previous administration
looks at what Mr.. Whitley has ac-
cOmplished, and how little it has
cost, comparatively, be cannot help
commencing the hardworking Sec
rotary for the good he has done, and
regretting that the country is to lose
the services Of such q man.

acted upon and now pending before

BUSINESS FIRST, ALWAYS.

The West Virginia Legislature
may be unable to agree upon such
little measures az deciding who is
elected Governor and United States
Senator, but a bill before it requir-
ing the railways to furnish free
passes to all the members indicates
the practical agreement among them
that they all want their deadhead
privileges Dispatch.

IT IS a well established fact among
the ewspaperfraternity that Presley
Morris has been a kind of a coarse,
shallow Drained jester for some
years, but he never performed tho
monkey act until he got to shoot
off in the Senate. His language
towards speaker Woods on last Fri
day was disgraceful in the extreme.
and President Carr didn't set down
on him any too soon. Weston is
yawning for the Senator from
Richie.

WHEN we hear our Republican
friends Of Preston county saying
how much cheaper they could run
the State than the Democrats we
wonder why it is they never tried
the experiment on the county of
Preston. They have had full control
Of the county for the past twenty
five years, and they have never in
dulged in retrenchment and reform
IN county affairs to tighten the bur
den Of taxation. In fact it seems
to be contagious in them to increase
rather than decrease.

The above question has been pro-
pounded to us many times since we
have received our new material.
The ARGUS always tries to please
its friends and does to the extent
Of being the best paper in the coun-
ty, and we would certainly like.
above all things, 10 make it the lar
gest paper in the county az we'll.
This we are unable 20 do at present
from the fact that We do not receive
the support we should from the
members Of the Democratic party.
Out Of fourteen hundred Democrats
less than Use hundred take the
ARGUS. This should not be. There
should be at least one thousand
names on u subscription list and
we could then give q paper that not
only we, but al would be proud Of.
IT Is just as impossible for an editor
70 make Improvements in his paper
without support from his friends a.
It Is for a merchant to sell goods
without purchasers, or a farmer to
pillow without pillow. Let our friends
take an interest in the matter
and it viii not be long before the
ARGUS will be all that the most ex-
acting could desire. Send as new

IT DOES the tax payer good to re-
mind him that under a Democratic
administration West Virginia pays
a less tax than any State in the
union, while under Republican man
agement Preston county pays a
larger tax than most of the counties

THE RICH MEMS CLUB.

The Hartford Times has ascer-
tanned that there are already thirty
millionaires in the United States
Senate. More are coming; not a
year of elections but adds to their
number, and, when one goes out his
his seat is almost sure to be filed by
another of the same kind. The Sen
ate is composed of seventy-six men,
bers, and a very few years will, there
fore, put the millionaires in the
majority. If wealth is the stand
ard Of aristocracy Il country will
500 show the most patrician body
Of men in the world. OF course
they r all influenced first in their
votes by a disinterested concern for
the welfare Of the workingman.

A. W. OLIVER. PRESIDENT.

Before this shall have been put in type
and printed the stockholders OF the
Wichita board of trade will have held
their annual meeting. chosen a new board
of directors, which directors in turn will
have, in all probability, selected the per-
manent officers for the ensuing year
Without referring TO the work Of the big
Four" or to the triumphs OF the Com
mittee of Twenty" which succeeded them
and for two years SO ably conserved the
interests. of the city, which committee
grew out of the other and which in due
course was succeeded by the present board
of trade, and in all three of which Mr.. A.
W. Oliver was prominent factor, we
desire TO say that few men in any COM
munity, in the absence of salary or pay Of
any character, could be found 10 SO I'M
selfshly, so untiringly and so success
fully work for the general interests
of any people as he has for
this city. For the past three years, more
particularly, he has not only neglected his
own business, which represents two or
three of the largest private enterprises in
the city, and not only contributed largely
of his money continually, but has given
the board of trade the benefit of all his tai
ents and experience as a successful bust
ness man, which talents, as everybody
knows who knows the man, are of high
order Cool headed, quick of perception,
logical to as results, a close reader of men,
and possessing a way and an address
which seems never to fail OF commanding
the confidence of strangers, he has gone
forward, always with but one idea, and
that idea Wichita, gone on, often, in the
face of most unjust criticisms, ill-founded
suspicious and even of opposition
born of envy, but not always IN
conscious of such criticisms and
suspicious. His work is done, is
well done. Every act, every motive. may
now be probed TO their ultimates and they
will be found to have been unselfish, open
and white. Wichita has many, very many
very bright, enthusiastic unselfsh and
successful business men. each OF whom
might, If they could drop all their own
business interests and give the place their
entire attention and talents, prove as sue
cessful on the whole probably as has 4.
W. Oliver; but, knowing the man as we
do, and all his tireless work, his auxieties
and motives as no other member Of the |
board can hardly know them, we will be !
excused for not only in the name Of cur
people thanking him, bat for the further
suggestion that it will be difficult TO fill /
his shoes.
