WESTERN BOYS WANTED IN THE

Navy department officials are seri-
ously considering the advissbility oi
opening recruiting stations in the west
for not only the marine corps, but for
the apprentice corps of the navy. Sew
eral years ago an Office was opened in
st. Louis tor the obtaining of hOys.
Owing to the fact that Indifferent atteu-
ton was paid 10 the work, the results
did not warrant II continuance of the
office. Now il is proposed to send
navy officers TO New Orleans, Calves
ton, Memphis, Nashville, ST. Louis,
Cincinnati, Pittsburg and Chicago. Il
is also proposed TO send up the Mississip-
pi river as tar as a passage can be fore
ed either one OF the small corvetts or
the Dolphin. The presence OF a vessel
oi war off one OF the Western cities will, :,
1t is considered, assist the recruiting
officers wonderfully. Great exertions
will be made to induce boys to join the
service.

TRIED AND FOUND WANTING.

The Cameron Vindicator, the leading
republican paper of the third congress
sional district, has the following 10 say
OF the Harrison Administrations:
With feelings OF regret we saw the
last national republican convention pass
walter q. Gresham by, and nominate
Benjamin Harrison. Gresham was, TO
us. The Rock of Gibralter that would
withstand every assault of avarice and
greed; Harrison, the senatorial baby
that loitered in the lap of aristocracy
and monopoly. Ii may be that Gres.
ham would have been defeated, but de-
ieat is preferable in many resps scts to
the present administration. During
the months since his inauguration we
have vainly Rugged the deiusiou that
President Harrison would move out
upon new lines. But while alliances,
organizations and conventions, ali
over the country, have been sending
forth petitions like eruptions of lava
from volcano, he has sat supremely
Indifferent In the presidential chair.
His message to congress read well
enough, but the personality behind il
has disappeared. The strong arm that
was TO bear the republican standard
alot to continued victory, has been
used only to dispense patronage. The
pets of the white house have been cod
died and fed, while many of the ablest
men In the nation have been insulied
and snubbed, So far as doing anything
TO help settle the great questions before
the country to- day, President Harrison
has been dumb as an oyster. 1t may
not be our province 10 speak ont. but
with q continuance of such nothingism
as this the future of the republican par.
ty is in danger. The republican party
can not, like the democratic party. go
before the people with a blank record
of four years, and ask, with any degree
of self-respect, for continuance o
power. There is plenty of time yet foi
u recovery, not of some blunders in the
appointments. but of the party's hold
upon the people. From the depths o.
J our hearts we would beseech Presi6en
Harrison to do something, but it is a
least his duty to save his party from
irretrievable ruin.
