Republican comment is becoming bolder
on the policy Of the administration.
There is little doubt that the course OF
the President in delivering the patronage
Of Pennsylvania over to Quay, that Of
New York to Platt and that of Virginia
20 Malone has weakened the influence
that the administration was expected to
exert over the best elements Of the
Republican party. The Philadelphia
American says:
There have been rumors Of Cabinet re
construction, by which Mr.. Noble is TO be
appointed to the vacant place on the
Supreme bench, and Mr.. Clarkson is TO
enter the Cabinet. We must decline to
believe that President Harrison will so
misuse the best elements of the party as
TO give a place among his counsellors to a
man whose chief claim upon public at
tention Is the speed with which he makes
removals and appointments.
Meantime Mr. Clarkson is still making
removals" by the wholesale and filling
up the post offices with partisans at the
rate Of one thousand per week. The
administration OF President Harrison is a
disappointment to the bulk Of the Repub-
lican party already and it seems likely to
put the party in a much worse condition
than Hayes left it in and for ABOUT the
same reasons.

Many stories have been told on the
plains as illustrating the verdancy and
eastern innocence of pilgrims" and
"tenderfeet" One Of the best which
The News now recalls is related in re-
gard to the manner in which one Of the
old plains ranchmen up near the South
pass got a new wagon. He had an old
one, which was practically worthless,
and he had made many efforts to trade
it off to passing trains and travellers, but
without success. He was getting con
siderably discouraged when a lone pill
grim" appeared at the ranch and camped
for the night The pilgrim was very
green and. as he was bound over the
mountains, had many questions to ask
about the mountain pass. how wide il
was and whether wagons experienced
much difficulty in getting through He
had a brand new wagon. which struck
the ranchman's eye, and he determined
to play a bold game TO get it.
The next morning the pilgrim" saw
the ranchman very carefully measuring
his wagon, and very naturally his curl
osity was excited, and his inquiries were
answered By the solemn assurance from
the ranchman that the wagon was Just
two inches two wide to get through the
pass The pilgrim was dumfounded
and in peck of tronble. Finally his
eyes rested on the old rattletrap Of the
ranehman, which he measured and found
to be two inches narrower than his own
He promptly proposed a trade. The
rancbnoan dpnlurrad His WAGON was
old, to be sure, but then it was narrow
enough to go through the pass in case he
should ever want to visit the Salt Lake
valley. The more he objected the more
hmportunate the pilgrim" became, and
finally a trade was consummated, the
ranchman getting the new wagon and
pocketing a good round sum to boot.
The s'pilgrim" went on his way rejoic-
ing at his good fortune in getting a
wagon which would 60 through the mar
row pass: but when he reached the west
ern slope he must have realized how
badly he had been victimized. since the
South pass is broad enough to naGrch an
army through, and not the narrow gorge,
barely wide enough for wagon, which
had been pictured to him and which he
was so willing to obeiieve.-Denver News.
