TO RUN n 4
Comment ON the Retirement Of
From tb6 l5tg Paper.

From tho Big Paper.
NEw YoaK, May 18.--Ihere is consider
able gossip hero regarding the retirement
of Col. John A. Coclerill from tho editor
ship Of tho New York World. IL has been
limited for Some time that Col. Cockerill
was very much dissatisfied because OF late
his responsibilities and power on tho World
have boon somewhat circumacribed IL IN
no secret to those who understand the
Worlds success that Col. Cockorill WAS the
real author of III; that he gave tho World Its
present proportions.
Several stories nre ailoat here as to his
future. One ia that he Ia to return to st.
Louis and agnin take chnrge Of tho Post
Dispatch; another il to the effect that no
IL to soyer his relations with Mr.. Pulitzer
altogether, and that he will join with Col.
Brown and Ben Wood in establishing a one
cent morning paper in New York, to be de-
voted TO tho interests Of Tammany hall.
1t is said that political considerations
had much TO do with Col. CockeriiPs down
fall. A gentleman who is we'll posted in
matters journalistic in New York, told a
correspondent to-day that tho fall of
Cockerill was the result of contentious
among different factions Of tho New York
democracy over the Now York Worlds
policy. Cockerill is n friend OF Governor
Hill. of Mayor Grant, of Bourke Cochran
'N& W. DAohcA vi ~ " Ets" W.
have been his intention to make tho
World "A partial il not n positive Tammany
organ. The Cleveland clement of tho Now
York democracy, observing CookerilPs ten
denotes, it is alleged, submitted the case to
Mr.. Pulitzer, with the result that Colonel
Cockerill was eventually forced out.
The report now is that John Foord, h
was for some time the editor of the New
York Times and subsequently manag-
ing editor of Harper's Weekly, is
henceforth to control the editorial
page of the World and direct its
politics. MIR. Foord is a very warm friend
and admirer of MIR. Cleveland and of the
reform element of the democratic party,
and in consequence his obtaining control
of the World may be considered an event.
perhaps, in New York politics. MI. Foord,
while an able writer and a man of broad In
telligence, has not had much experience in
the making of great newspapers. he took
little or no interest in the news features of
the New York Times when he was con-
nected with that great journal. 1t is there
fore considered doubtful among journal
Cockerill's place, as it ,sgenerally acknowl-
edged that CockerilI is one of the boldest.
most original and best equipped directors
of the general features of a newspaper in
the United States.
But it seems to he the policy of the world
to divide the responsibility and place one
man in charge of the news and ono man in
charge of the editorial page. Whether such
a combination can work is deemed doubt
full by many experienced journalists. The
superstition is that eventually Foord will
get absolute control of the World under
Mr.. Pulitzer.

Other Responses.

Col. Sanders in response to the toast AS
signed him made one of his characteristic
speeches.
Col. Ingersoll received a perfect ovation
when he arose to speak. Most of tho guests
stood up and luttered handkerchiefs in. the
air. He remarked that it had been said
that contentment was the greatest possible
wealth, and he supposed that next 10 abso-
lutte contentment came perfect satisfaction.
He thought he had found it in his sur
roundings. One thing that the colonel be-
lieves III is a notion of home owners
and not tenants. No man would shoulder
q musket for a boarding house. Owing to
the length of the list of toasts Mr.. Ingersoll
limited himself to a very few minutes. and
preferred to hear from the others. 1t was
$50 before the responses to toasts were
ended.
Manager Campbell and his efficient corps
of assistants managed the banquet in m
excellent ann The event was one of
the most pleasant affairs of the kind that
has taken ever place Mt the B~roadwater.

The Argentine Election.

WASHINGTON, May 1s.-The latest number
of the Buenos Ayres Standard referring to
the political situation i'll the Argentine Re-
public, says everything seems to indicate
that Gen. Mitre will be unanimously
elected president. 1t is admitted by for
eieners and Argentines alike that if any
ono can save the republic it is Gen. Mitre.
The task before him, however. is much
more nrduous than ever fell to any South
American statesman, for the financial con-
dition is exceedingly bad.

"Our Guest"

When Commissioner Carter arose he was
greeted with a warm burst of applause. In
his opening remarks he spoke with great
feeling regarding the honor shown him by
the representative gathering of Montan-
ians. Words at my command, he said,
cannot adequately express my grateful ap-
probation OF the generous, friendly dispo-
sition manifested by your presence here to-
night. No man need fear, falter or fail in
any meritorious undertaking when sup
ported by the confidence, good will and re-
spect of such loyal and worthy %neighbors.
10 be assured that your personal esteem
has continued u%nimpaired through many
years of somewhat unusual business INT
political activity is to me ten times an am
pie reward for any service / may have been
fortunate enough to render the people of
our progressive and young state. 10 as
cribe this occasion a merely personal sig
n%iticance would deny you credit for the
broader thought connected with it. You
show that the spirit OF a liberal, patriotic
state pride has found an abiding place in
the breasts of Montaniuns.
Around this festive board | see men who
reflect every shade of political Thought
known to tho history of our state or to the
history of the territory out of which it
grew. Here seated side by side are men
who have fought each other ~tiercely for
years in our political arena. The national
administration aocords an honorable recop-
milton to the state in al executive branch
of the government with which the interests
of our people are intimately associated and
instantly the press and people cordially
and warmly acknowledge the friendly act
without reference to the political afilia-
tions of the president or the individual
through whom the recognition was extend
cd to the state.
A people 30 patriotic and keenly alert to
the public affairs are destined not only to
conduct their domestic policy with intelli-
gence and wisdom, but they will inevitably
exert a potent influence on the nations
history. In the part l have been commits
stoned by President Harrison to take in
executing tho law, l will do the best | can
10 meet your expectations by the faithful
performance of duty. Under thisa admins
tration the struggling miner and settler
shall have the benefit OF every loyal pre-
sumption to which honest men are entitled.
In this policy it ia pleasing to know that
tho presi ont an secretary of the interior
cordially e1ncu'. and that every man,
woman md chill / in tie west says amen.
The ls ,ple who marked the trail
from Omaha westward justly de-
mand liberal treatment. As tho
conditions being deRlt with by our people
become better Understood by our eastern
hrethren they give us assurances Of sym

LAKE sAMIsH NOTES

A bridge across the lake at its mar
rOwest point is spoken Of. lnasmuch
as IL will be Of little importance with
out county road, the matter Will
take no definite form until a road is
first arranged for.
Fishing parties are seen on the lake
almost daily. While the waters OF Ihe
lake seem teeming with iinny beauties.
many embryo fishermen leave empty
handed because they do not under
stand the kind of tackle to use. A
troll or spoon hook is what is needed
TO catch trout in Lake Samish.
The Samish Lake Mill & Lumber
company have temporarily suspended
operations. They have cut and ship
ped about eight million feet Of logs,
but are now compelled by the low
price Of lumber to stop work. At
present there are about two million
feet afoat in the lake belonging to
the company, which will not be
shipped until prices will Justify it.
Like settlers in other districts, the
people of this straightforward are eagerly
| looking forward TO the time when
they can have the advantage Of a
| county road. AS matters stand at
present they are almost entirely cut
off from the market, and until they
can have road IL is out OF the ques-
tion to sell their produce TO an advan-
tage.
On the 18th inst. the residence Of j.
| A, Stennet, located in section 20, was
DESTROYED by fire. The fire originated
from a defective llue, and within a
few moments after 1t was discovered
had gained such a headway as TO make
IL impossible TO save any OF the con
tents Of the building. The total loss
amounts to about $500, with no insur
ance. The owner will probably re
build his home before the winter
sets in.

! sense, In prosperous condition
