A DISAPPOINTED CANDIDATE.

Some rather interesting events are
following close upon the failure of
Roger @. Mills of Texas to get the
speakersnip, and it is becoming more
and more evident that he was not the
man for the place, in spite Of his con
fident candidacy. Ever since his
defeat he has been, so to speak, sulk
ing in his tent, and as a consequence
considerable discord is reported with
in the democratic ranks at Washing
ton. Speaker Crisp offered Mr. Mills
second place on the ways and means
committee, but as the Texan gentle
man had previously held the chai-
manship of that important committee
he did not propose to take the second
position thereon, and SO informed Mr..
Crisp. A portion of the democracy
are said to be alarmed at this evidence
of discord and will take meaures to
arrange matters amicably-presuma-
bly, by endeavOring to persuade Mr..
Crisp that Mills should have the chair
manship of the ways and means. While
all this is going on an effort is being
made in Texas to elect Mr.. Mills sena-
tor from that, which would of course
be a step higher for him and take him
out of Mr.. Crisp's way. just what the
result will be remains to be seen; but
we do not believe that Speaker Crisp
will back down for the sake of con-
ciliating his late rival in the race for
the conspicuousp position he now holds.
The issue of this disturbance in the
fold will be awaited with some interest
by politicians generally.

SENATOR PLUMB IS DEAD.

The death of Senator Plumb of Kan
goth, was so sudden and unexpected
as to shock most profoundly his col
leagues and associates. Death was
the result of an appopleptic stroke.
Senator Plumb has been ailing ever
since the campaign of last November,
and about two weeks ago he became
alarmed at his condition. He consult
ed DR.. Wales, who warned him that
he must cease work. He urged the
physician to keep him going until
after the holidays. DR.. Wales, wish
ing Senator Plumb to understand fully
that continued work would endanger
his life, sent him to Philadelphia on
Thursday to receive the diagnosis of
DR.. Pepper. Senator Plumb returned
to Washington last evening and to the
rooms where he received business
callers and wrote most of his letters,
on Fourteenth street. He said to his
landlord, Mr.. Jennings:
''The iig's up; [ have got to take a
long rest"
He was a typical Western man,
whose education was secured in the
common schools and in printing Of
flee in Ohio. He gathered the sinews
of craftsmanship from contact with
the martyrs of BLEEDING Kansas" :"
whittier he went in 1856 to become at
once intensely imbued with the Free
Soil fire. He helped to frame the
Leavenworth constitution, and as leg
islator or soldier or editor or repre-
sentative in the House and Senate at
Washington had served his State 10y
ally and well for thirty-f five years. In
Republicanism he was thorough, in
spite of his leaning toward free silver
coinage, and he was a protectionist
when Kansas had temporarily slipped
away from her moorings. In other
words, he had the courage of his con-
victions. He was, eprhaps, the hard
est worker in the Senate, and his ear
was never closed to tale of human
woe. His death will be universally
regretted personally, and is especial
ly disturbing because of complications
likely to arise in the choice of his sue

WASHINGTON LETTER.

| The friends of Representative Mills
feel that Mr.. Crisp has added insult to
! injury by writing a note to Mr.. Mills
asking him to take the second place
on the Ways and Means committee,
instead of offering him the chairman
ship, which, they say, he would have
declined anyway. Mr.. Mills, in his
answer to the note of Mr.. Crisp, de-
clined serving on the Ways and Means
committee, and said that he had no
preference as to other committees.
He will probably be made chairman
on the committee on commerce.
There is quite a howl among the
| Southern members because the chair
manship of the two most important
ommittees-Ways and Means, and
Appropriations, are to go to North
ern men, it being about settled that
Springer and Holman will secure these
two plums; but the opposition will
not give up hope until the appoint
ments are actually made.
If the adage "He who hesitates is
lost'' be true Mr.. Crisp is lost almost
lbeyond hora of ever being recovere&
From the day of his election to the
present time he has done nothing but
hesitate, although he cannot hesitate
much longer, as he has promised al
most positively that he will announce
the committees on Wednesday.
Senator Paddock has originated
scheme which speaks well for both his
| IL To- "a
heart, and Secretary Rusk has enter
ed into a hearty cooperation with
him to carry the idea out. 1t is pro-
posed that the farmers of the great
corn raising States of the North West
shall contribute train load of corn,
which shall be carried to Russia free
of freight charges, and be presented
to the starving peasants of that coun-
try, who, by practical demonstration,
will then know that American corn is
first class food product, a knowl-
edge that we have been vainly trying
to impart to them for a number of
years.
Naval officials will not admit that
war with Chill is among the proba-
bilities, nevertheless the Navy depart
ment is taking the preliminary steps
necessary to get in readiness for such
a war. Not only have all of our avila-
BILE war vessels been ordered to the
Pacific, but arrangements are being
made which will give the department
the control of large number of mer-
chant vessels at short notice, should
they be needed Yet all this is regard
ed as merely precautionary, as those
who ought to be posted are of the
opinion that Chill will apologize as
soon as she finds that we are in earn
est.
1t now looks as if Secretary Fosters
Christmas gift would be a restoration
to health, as he daily improves and
his physician says all the dangerous
symptoms have disappeared.
The democratic Senators from Indi
ana, are making themselves ridicu
lous in their efforts to work up a sem
timent against the confirmation of the
nomination of Judge Woods of that
State to a seat on the bench of the
new Circuit Court. There isn't the
slightest probability that a single re-
publican Senator will vote against
Judge Woods.

FREE AND FAIR ELECTIONS.

No democratic newspaper or other
journal, so far as we have seen, has
noticed the suggestion made IN the
Presidents message that method be
devised, by the appointment of nom
partisan commission, by the Supreme
Court, for securing free and fair cleo
tions in ali parts of the Union. Are
democrats so blinded by partisanship
that they take no interest in a ques-
ton vitally affecting our government?
ANY honest Southeastern democrat
will acknowledge in conversation that
elections are not free and fair in his
own State. He will acknowledge also
that the continued process of evasion
of law must necessarily have bad ef-
feet upon the political virtue of the
people. He will acknowledge that
there is in his State very little inter
est in national politics, and no dis
cussion of national questions like the
tariff. On the other hand, he says,
tsWhat can we do? We must preserve
the supremacy of the white race. 1t
is life or death to us, and all other
questiors sink into insign1fcance be
fore it'
Suppose that this be true, although
we do not believe it is; granting, for
the sake of argument, the contention
that there is some danger in what is
part of wise men to sit down and say
there is no remedy? Is it wise, or
right, to make no effort whatever to
abate recognized evils? In the Presi-
dents recommendation there is no
partisanship; why not adopt it?
Again, there are recognized evils in
other parts of the country. There is
bribery, there is illegal voting, there
is the admission to citizenship of i'm
migrants but just landed. What could
deal with all these matters, in broad
and liberal spirit, better than non
partisan commission of men recog-
nized by both parties as able and
patriotic.
The evil that the President points
out is one that goes to the very foun-
dations of our liberty and security.
If nothing be done to arrest it, it will
soon menace the perpetuity of our in
stitutions and may lead to anarchy
and ruin. Now is the time to deal with
it, and no better method has ever been
suggested than the one proposed by
President Harrison.-MdH and Er-
press.

The appointment of Stephen B. Elk
ins to be Secretary of War will be vari-
ously interpreted. 1t is known that
it is a selection over which the Presi-
dent long hesitated. To the last mo-
ment last night Ex-Governor Cheney
of New Hampshire had expected the
place. Politicians will be busy in en-
deavoring to discover the political
bearings of this nomination. That it
is political in character there can be
little doubt. Elkins has gained rep
utation as a skilled and astute politi-
cal manager, and he undoubtedly de-
serves it. What effect this choice will
have upon the relations between the
President and Secretary Blaine will be
another mooted point.
Elkins was for many years one OF
the most enthusiastic and faithful sup
porters of Blaine. He is now associa-
ted with Blaine in West Virginia Rail
road enterprises. But it is very certain
that the President appointed Elkins
on the assumption that the new Sec
retary of war will be an earnest advo-
cate of Harrison for denomination
