Obituary.

PECK.-Captan Lewis c.. Peck, a native
of Berlin, Vt, died at his residence in Lew
iston, Me-, January 2S, 1889, of Brights
disease. Captain Peck was son of the
late Ansel Peck, one of the early settlers of
Berlin, in which town he was born October
23d, 1922. While yet young man he went
to Lowell, Mass, in which city he resided
for several years, working at his trade as a
machinist. In 1Si9 he went to California
with company under command of his
brother-in-law, Captain Otis n Cutler. The
company went by steamer to Matamoras,
thence by the overland route, being several
months on the journey and suffering many
hardships. Remaining in the gold region
some two or three years, Captain Peck re-
his residence in Lewiston, where he re-
mained until his death. Possessing winning
traits of character, the circle of his acquaint-
ance was large. While resident of Lew
iston he held several offices of public trust,
at one time being a candidate for mayor.
For several years he was identified with the
fire department of the city, being at one
time chief-engineer, and he always took a
lively interest and pride in the welfare and
efficiency of the organization. At the time
of his death he was superintendent of the
Lewiston water works, an office which he
had held Tor several years. He was also a
prominent member of the Odd Fellows and
a member of the Boston Pioneer Society of
California. Only two sisters and one
brother in a family of eleven children, sur
vive him, as follows; Mrs. A. NJ. Slocum of
Berlin, Mrs. Emily A. Nye of Barre and Hi

WASHINGTON MATTERS.

WASHINGTON, March 1.-THE interior
department seems pleased with its new
secretary. Its chiefs OF divisions and its
hundreds of hold-over officers, welded
into their places by years OF service under
various heads OF the department, have
met him and given him their judgment.
He is the one official in whom the
whole northwest is interested. He has
control of the land Indian and railroad
matters which must more or less affect
the progressing welfare of the west for
many years to come.
What the west wants is progressive
man, who, in Difference to the sentimental
ideas of the east, must be tempered with
conservatism. Mr.. Noble comes from
the west, and SO far as progressive ideas
are concerned he may be said to have
them. He understands thoroughly the
struggles of western settlers and the diff
culties which beset them. He has no
rigid iron clad ideas regarding the admin
istration of statute law without reference
to equity, but believes in fairness to all
men.
Without incurring the charge of being
partial to Gland thieves and rogues," as
Mr.. Sparks put it, he can deal justly with
men who have been endeavoring for
years to settle the great unoccopied lands
OF the west In all other matters Secre-
tyry Noble shows strong leanings toward
liberalty and equity. 1t may be prom
ised that the west will not suffer at his
hands.
An effort is being made to retain J. II.
Oberly in the office of Indian commits
sioner. Ex-Gov. T. G. Fletcher, of Mis-
souri,, and ex-Indian Inspector Pollock, OF
Arkansas City, are aspirants for the place.
Every Republican member of congress,
senator and member-elect, is suffering
from visitation OF good portion of the
male population Of his district. They get
scarcely time enough to eat their meals !;
are hustled out of their beds at an un-
conscionably early hour, and it is late at
night, usually, before they retire.
1t is now regarded as practically settled
that Mr.. Charles +. Coon, of New York,
will be appointed assistant secretary Of
the treasury to succeed Gov. Thompson;
and that Mr.. George G. Tichenor, OF Hi
nols, now special agent Of the treasury,
will be appointed second assistant secre-
tary, to succeed Judge Maynard. 1t is
expected that these names will be in
cluded in number OF nominations sent
to the senate to-day.
