During session of the house of COM
mons the members wear their hats, which
they remove when rising to speak or to
make motion. This custom is occasional
ly the cause of a comical scene, like the one
reported in Sir William Fraser's "Disraeli
and His Day"
William Ewart, the member for Liver
pool, was making an effective speech, and
on the bench just below him sat Joseph
Hume, Radical, whose aspect was that of
intense solemnity. He wore a hat with a
broad brim and a long nap, which appa-
rently was too large for his large head.
Ewart, while emphasizing his last SEN
tence, brought his right fist down with
crushing violence upon Hume's hat, which
instantly descended below Hume's chin
and obscured his heavy features.
The house, which had been listening wit h
interest, roared with laughter, and the ora.
tor sat down abashed by the incident tina,
had spoiled the effect of his speech.

NOT ROCK ISLANDS FAULT

The City Again Held Up TO Criri.i.m
Because of GraspinK Property
Holders.
The Davenport Democrat of this morn
ing had the following editorial CONS
ment:
The Democrat is hardly prepared to
accept the current report that ex-Con.
gresham Gest has been instructed to APP
pear at Peoria at the coming term of the
federal court and renew his opposition to
the choice of route made by the war de-
partment for the western line Of the Hi
nois and Mississippi canal. Anything is
possible in the light of the proceedings
that have taken place. but it would seem
that enough common sense ought to be
found in Rock Island to stamp out any
such movement as that talked about on
the part of Capt r. obinson and his friend.
Several of the most prominent citiz ems
OF Rock Island and some of them strong
advocates of the northern route up 10 the
time the report of the army board was
made in September have Voluntarily told
the editor OF the Democrat that they &C.
cept as final the report of the engineers
and its approval by the war department
This is the only sane view to take. The
friends of the waterway ought to
work together more unitedly and
enthusiastically than ever for
the early completion of this
urgently needed national undertaking.
Rock Island has made its local fight and
lost. 1t ought to place itself above sus-
picion as the advocate of the canal, &C.
cept the situation, and join hands for the
common good
The Rock Island Union, 10 referring to
the rumor of further opposition to the
canal. says it lis utterly without founda-
ton" The Democrat hopes the Union has
more truth on its side than it had when,
IN advance of the army engineers report,
it insisted that the northern route would
be endorsed aad recommended, claiming
to have inside information. But some
thing more authoritative than the Union 9
say>so is required to assure the public.
1t ought not to be necessary TO again
contradict any such wrong impressions of
Rock Islands associations with the OBJ
structions which have been put in the
way of the Hennepin canal. THE ARGUS
has shown to the satisfaction of the sv.
erage reader that the entire war on the
canal route was made by greedy prop
erty holders and their representatives,
whose obstinacy caused the discovery of
the south route, that Rock Island has in
no way been responsible for the opposi
ton of such property holders to the
adopted surveys in the past and
will not be responsible for their
acts in the future. Rock Island
stan Is IS it has .lwsvs stood-for the
canal snd will be found to abide by the
opinion Of the government engineers as
20 the most practicable route. And even
knowing as it does. that the government
has been hindered by property interests
and the canal driven away from the orig
inally contemplated route by them, it
will be slow to believe that those prop
erty holders will still further antagonize
the government and the measure,

Much Ado About Nothing.

The Chicago Tribune's CORES pondent
at Washington has discovered what he ur-
doubleday believes is lapse of duty on the
part of CONGRESSMAN Cable, regarding the
Annapolis cadetship. An extended
special to his paper has been avidiously
bounced upon by the Union. which is to
the effect that Secretary of the Navy Tracy
had appointed young Kentuckian to An
napolis throughMr Cables failure to name
candidate agreeable to governmental re-
quirements within the prescribed time.
As stated in THE ARGUS some months
since, Mr.. Cable recommended Charles,
son of Msj. aud Mrs. L NJ. Buford. for
the place. Shortly prior to July J., Mr..
Cable learned that his appointee had
scarcely attained the required age. aud
Immediately made the request that the
matter be left open. until his return.
which. he was informed, was agreeable
to the navy department. He was, there
fore. considerably surprised up
on his return to learn that Secretary
Tracy had appointed Edmunds Howe
Watson, of Kentucky, to fill the supposed
vacancy. Mr.. Cable intends to have the
appointment Withdrawn, if possible. and
have Charles Buford or some other young
man from this district chosen. He did
not as the republican papers wish to infer,
overlook the matter. but relied upon the
the promise he had received from Wash.
ington. That there was some misunder-
standing among the navy department Of
fcials is apparent.

THE PECOS PARK,

The New MEXICAN is informed that
Delegate Antonio Joseph is opposing the
establishment of the Pecos national park
in the Santa Fe range Of mountains. We
hope this is not the case. The reservation
ought to be set off and that speedily. 1t
is absolutely necessary for the protection
of the water supply of very large por-
ton of New Mexico and of q section of
the territory that is well populated. The
interests of the many are above the in.
terests of the few. The reservation should
be declared by the president with the
boundaries as recommended by the
special agent of the general land Office,
who had the matter i'll charge. The
timber in the section named should be
preserved for the sake of the water sup
ply. The country contained in the boun-
diaries projected does not contain
twenty settlers. 1t is rough, noun
famous, picturesque and wild, but not
fit for agricultural purposes. The bests
interests of the territory will be subserved
by tie creation of the national park re-
servation designated as the Pecos park.

A WINNING PRINCIPLE.

1t is by no means q newly developed
principle but it is fact, taught by time
and experience, that the Democratic
party, state and national, never has yet
failed to quarrel and scrap over the spoils
of office. They are at it now; they have
been at it for years. In marked contrast
to this state of affairs is the harmony
which pervades the Republican party.
Here at present we find everything and
everyb jdy working along for the best in
terests of the masses; doing their duty by
themselves and the country, and never
losing an opportunity to contribute to its
welfare and its glory. 1t is such facts as
these that, no matter how many isms or
new parties may be sprung in the in
terim, always touch the hearts OF the
sober masses in presidential years and
cause them to roll up the usual majorties
for the party of personal freedom and
popular progress.

EDITORIAL COMM EN- rs.
The Very Closest State.

In 1888 West Virginia was the closest
state in the Union OH the vote for presi-
dental candidates. The total number of
votes polled was l59, 440, and the Cleve-
land electors only had plurality OF 500
over the Harrison electors. Both parties
put forth all their energies in that cam
pagn, and it may be safely regarded that
one of the hottest fights in the next pres-
dental election will occur in West Vir-
ginia.
President Harrison's recent action in
appointing Hon. Stephen B. Elkins as
secretary OF war, and Hon. Nathan Golf
as one of the new circuit judges will
probably have some effect on the coming
campaign for the benefit of the Republi
can party in that state. Mr. Elkins is a
very prominent and popular citizen OF
West Virginia, and his father-in law, ex-
United States Senator Davis, has always
been regarded as one of the leading
Democrats of the State. 1t is well known,
however, that ex-senator Davis is q
strong believer in the policy of protec-
ton, and if he should cast his influence
in favor of the Republican ticket there is
very little doubt that the electoral vote of
W est NuRHlld MOulu NC JldCeu III Ille lCc-
publican column in 1892
If this should happen, even though the
Democrats should carry the four states
commonly regarded as doubtful, namely:
New York, New Jersey, Connecticut and
Indiana, they would still lose the presi-
dency, provided all the other states should
vote as they did in 1888, and the six new
states should 90 Republican.
1t is probable, therefore, that there is
good deal OF politics in the appointment
of Mr.. Elkins as secretary of war, and if
the solid south should be broken through
his efforts in the next presidential election
there will be very little likelihood of an
other Democratic administration in this
country for twenty years to come.
No wonder the Democrats think that
Mr.. Ekins is bold, bad man. He Ger
tainy is very dangerous man to them,
and it will not be surprising if some of
their senators refuse to vote for his con-
frmation. That he will be confirmed,
however, goes without saying, and he will

tary of war.-Denyer Republican.

And Plumb is dead! Truly, Sin the

splendid faculties, the editor of the NEW

cold in death.
Senator Plumb was atypical westerner'

sunny disposition made him universal

for governor Of West Virginia py only
about 500 votes at the last election.
Great enthusiasm prevails in the state over
these two nominations, and the chances
now are that the solid south will be
broken at the next election by West Vir-
gnia going Republican. Mr.. Ekins is
recognized as leading representative Of
the new south; the new south means a
good fighting chance for Republican gu
premacy, and President Harrison is wise
enough to see that the party's passage
to the new south lies through West Vir-

Secretary ElLins and Colorado,

The appointment of the Hon. Stephen
B. Elkins to be secretary of war will re.
call to many in Colorado and New Mexico
an interesting chapter of curious and al
most forgotten political history. Mr.
Elkins was delegate from New Mexico in
the forty.third congress. Near the close
of the last session OF that body, in the
winter of 1915, he introduced bill for
the admission of his territory as a state.
He presented it in a speech SO fine and &c
forcible-a speech showing so much OF
ability, of attainment and of culture-that
he not only made strong favorable i'm
preston upon the house, but also attracted
the attention of the entire country. 1t is,
perhaps not too much to say that he made
a national reputation by that one speech.
The Hon. Jerome B. Chafiee then rep.
resented Colorado in congress. He had
in the previous congress made hard and

EIKINS AND HE SOUTH.

As time elapses the fact is more and
more developed that it was good politics
on President Harrison's part to call Mr.
Elkins to the war portfolio. 1t is rather
extraordinary that two such men as COT
and Elkins should have been called from
the same ftate, West Virginia, in so short
time to fill high places; but the thinking
man will see that, aside from the &C
knowledged ability of these men to fill
these positions, there is method back Of
these nominations. Golf was defeated

skillful and plucky, but vain, fight for
amendment to Mr.. Elkin's bill to In
cude Colorado. And the two COM
menced determined fight for their terri
tories.
New Mexico was then the most popu-
lous. The census of $40 has given her
nearly 100000 population and Colorado
only little over 10000, but the latter
had grown the more rapidly from 1870 to
1875. The fight was a fierce and hard
one. There was then much opposition in
the east to the admission of new states.
1t was purely sectional, and not at all
political.
The result is now a part of history.
New Mexico failed of admission, chiefly
because of the belief in the east that her
people were lacking in education. And
then she was doubtful politically. Colora-
do was admitted She had in freak just
elected Democrat as delegate to con-
gress by majority of over 1000. And
some Democratic Votes were cast for her
admission OH the supposition that she
would give her three electoral votes to
the Democratic candidate for president in
1876.
Ii Colorado had not been admitted at
that time she would likely have been
compelled to have stayed out in the cold !,
dependent territorial condition until the
Dakotas, Washington, Montana, Wyom-
ing and Idaho were finally let in. That
would have had much Of injurious effect
upon the material growth of the common
wealt h and would have seriously affected
good many political fortunes. Therefore,
this state is not free from obligation to
the new secretary of war; Denver Sun.
