PARIS. March 2S-Challemel Lacour, the
newly elected president of the senate in the
place of Ferry, took the chair today az presid-
ing officer. There was large attendance aud
the Introductory address was listened to with
grea; interest He said. in part:
France must ever find In the senate the surest
safeguard against the agitation renewed from
time 70 time by parties hoping to turn it to their
own advantage. The senate, mindful OF the
movements that are now occurring in the econ
omic and normal conditions of society, ought to
support the government In dealing with these
conditions.
This outspoken advocacy Of the government
was not unexpected. in view of the support
given BY the supporters OF President Carnot to
Challemel Lacour's candidacy.
In the chamber of deputies Admiral Reunier,
minister of marine, stated that 5000 troops were
still required to maintain and enforce French
authority in Dahomey. The army In Dahomey
was excellent, but there was no permanent Sc
curity for the French in that country until the
ex-king had been entirely vanQuished.

Mr. Ho.man's Objection.

NJ. Holman probably does not
expect to be takeu seriously in bis
proposal to forbid the appointment
to Office Of anyone who has con-
tributed TO the expenses of the
campaign. Yet the great objector
from Indiana has never been rec
ognized as a humorist, and his
proposition, if not a joke, is un-
worthy a public man of long ex,
perience.
Until We reach that ideal state
when a political campaign can be
carried on without money there
must be party funds, and they
must be collected from men who
are Interested in politics or public
affairs. 1t is from the same class OF
men that public officers are neces-
sarily to be chosen. 1t is a great
scandal to appoint a man to office
as a direct return for a contribus
ton of money, though this is be-
lieved to have been done in times
past; bat 10 say that a contribution
disqualifes for Office is an obvious
absurdity, By that rule we shall
have to choose our officials exclua
sively from either the very poor or
wholly indifferent.
Mr.. Holman's resolution is sup
posed to be a "dig at Mr., Van Ais
len, a rich New Yorker, whom the
President has nominated for AM
bassador to Italy. Ii there is no
other objection to MI. Van Allen
than that he is rich and he has
been liberal in his contributions,
the selection need not be depre-
Gated, eince there is no branch OF
the service in which a man may be
at once 60 useful and so harmless as
in the ornamental foreign mission,
and a rich nan who gives literally
is to be preferred to n who is
"near," or to one who gives as the
price of "protection" for some in"
terests Of his own.
It is also alleged that Mr..
Van Allen wears an eyeglass, ais
ways dresses for dinner and is
guilty of number OF other offenses
of that kind. These may furnish
valid objections to his appoints
ment to a foreign mission, but Mr..
Holman should address himself to
these more serious qualifications.
A law to the effect that no man
who wears a monocle or drives a
dogcart should hold an Office of
profit or trust would cause little in
convenience and would doubtless
give satisfaction in 1udi.na. But
what would become of politics in
Mr.. Holman's State if any such
encouragement as he proposes
were put in the way Of the quad1
rennial campaign contributions
of both parties. q Philadelphia

RAUM'S PENSIONS.

AS the Atlanta journal we'll says,
when President Harrison imposed
Green B. Raum on the country as
commissioner of pensions, he made
unwittingly perhaps, one of the
heaviest raids to which the treasury
has ever been subjected.
The investigation of the pension
claims granted by Raum under the
law of 1890, shows that rs per cent.
Of them were granted contrary to
law, and that another rs PEE cent.
OF them were rated contrary to law.
1t is estimated that if this illegal
action of Raum were permitted to
stand it would cost the government
$2s,ooO,ooo
Clearly the wrong done by this
reckless pension grader should be
corrected and it is the aim of the
present Commissioner Of Pensions to
correct it as o 0 as possible. In
doing so he will deny the right
of DO one who is entitled to a pens
sion. He can not be accused of en-
nifty to the Union veterans, of whom
he is one. The law is very liberal
to this class of citizens. They are
better provided for in the United
States than they are in any other
country. But no honest man can
defend paipable violations of the pen
sioa laws. Money taken from the
treasury in violation OF the pension
laws is taken as wrongfnlly as if it
were grabbed under a river and HAIRS
Dor bill, or any other act Of Cons
gress-
There is nj danger that any pen
sloner who has a right to be on the
roll will be disturbed under the
present administration, but every
name which has been put on that
roll by fraud or in violation of law
should be stricken off.
This is pot politics; it is common
honesty,

Woodland Crumbs,

Dear Argus:
An interesting series Of meetings
just closed last week at Mt. Calvry.
The membership at that place is not
very large, but they hold together
like men aud keep up their meeting.
We hear of a chill occasionally
among those living near the river,
but most Of our people are enjoying
good health.
We learn that several who left
this section a year or Gwe ago to find
u better place expect to move back
this winter. Well, come back, breth-
rem, we shall be pleased to have you
and guess you have learned that the
garden spot is as good as ever.
The school at Woodland is in
creasing in numbers and interest
under the management of our faith
full teacher Miss Osborne of Guils
ford. The melon crop has been the
heaviest this season that Wayne
county has ever known, but they are
nearly gone now.
The weather is all that could be
desired, and our farmers are taking
the advantage of it, to get their cots
ton out. We cannot boast of large
crops or heavy yield, but we can
raise three crops per year all the
same.
Miss Hettie Overman has returned
home again after visiting her brother
in Philadelphia, the Worlds Fair,
Niagura Falls and many other places
of interest.
If you want to be happy move off
Grumbling corne up on Thanks
giving street. If you want the Lords

to enjoy life work for the good Of
Others instead of lavishing eyerys

SENATORIAL GABLE.

Was there ever a time when the
people OF the United States were
SO tired OF senatorial harangues?
A set of senators who are in a
decided minority seem determined
to talk and talk forever while the
country demands a vote ard is
thoroughly Disguised with this
useless wagging of t~ireless tongues.
Cannot somebody induce these
everlasting gabblers to read aud,
if possible, to comprehend the
force OF Thomas Carlyle tribute to
silence? The great man wrote:
ooh, yes, l will say again; the
great silent men. Looking around
on the noisy inanity of the world,
words with little meaning, actions
little worth, one loves to ref oct on
the great Empire of Silence. The
noyel silent men, scattered here
and there, each in his department,
silently workine; whom no morn
ing newspaper makes mention Of
They are the salt of the esrtl. The
country that has none or few of
them is in a bad way. Like a
forest which has no roots; which
had all turned into leaves and
boughs; which must wither and be
no forest. Wee for us if We have
nothing but what we can show or
speak. Silence, the great Empire
of Silence; higher than the stars;
deeper than the Kingdom of Death
1t alone is great, all else is email.
1 hope we English will long main,
tain u grand talent pour la sill
ence. Let others that cannot do
without standing on barrelsheads,
to spout, and be seen of all the
market place, cultivate speech ex-
clusively; become a most green
forest without roots. Solomon
says, There is a time to speak, but
also a time to keep silence OF
some great silent Samuel, not urged
to writing, as old Samuel Johnson
says he was. by want of money
and nothing other, one might ask,
'Why do not you, too, get up and
speak; promulgate your system,
found your sec;s Truly he will
answer, am continent of my
thought hitherto; happily, l have
got now the ability to keep it in
me, no compu'sion strong enough
to speak it. NY system is not for
PRONUNCIATION first of all; it is for
serving myself to live by. That is
the great purpose of it to me. And
then the 'honor? Alas. yes; as Cato
said of the statue, so many statues
in that Forum OF yours, may it not
be better if they ask where is Cato's
statue""
There l%cquacions senators recall
an ancient prophecy which seems
to fit their case like a glove. 1t
runs thus:
When he was young a gypsy told his
doom.
"This lad" said she, and looked upon his
hand,
"Shall not by sword O person come tc
end;
Nor 10y the fever, dropsy, govt nor stone;
But he shall die by an eternal tongue"
All! for a rest from the babble Of
the free silver senators!
Oh! for a vote.
Oh! for a club, a brickbat, g
muzzle-anything to stop this
windy and expensive foolishness!

ned the tough looking crowd of law
VOL ators and sighed. The veteran
Chief of Police settled himself in a
chair and the first case was called.
A tramp-Drunk and disorderly.
Tramp stands up with a woe~be-
gene look. Judge, | am from Old
Virginia; I was passing though your
town and was thirsty and l took a
short; I was a stranger and they took
me in.
Hold on, remarked his Honor.
Well, Judge.
Hold on, 1 do not want to hear any
more from yeu. | heard enough
while you were being sobered up.
Ten dollars and cost, and if not paid
put him to work on the street with
ball and chain. He pleaded so hard
that the chain attachment was left
off. When the roll of prisoners was
called at night there was one short,
the tramp Lad departed.
Next case-You are charged with
engaging in a game of chance.
Sir, what's dat?
Hold up, you can have a say di~
rectly-and being under the inf1uS
encc of whiskey and a general dead
beat. What have you to say?
Well, Judge, I would like to
'splain de circumstance, if you will
low me.
Wei, go ahead but make it very
short.
Dis is the way, Judge. I am only
doing as l have seen others do. l am
trying to git up a ''ren." to get into
de swim. You see, Judge, to do dis
you must have a rep-play kards, bet
money, drink whiskey, and heat
anybody you an. You see de mig
ger, be play craps, white folks play
set back, and some other folks play
pea-nuckle.
That will do, remarked his Honor,
you are set back SIS and # you come
before ME again I'll raise you $40.
H failed to pay. He is now hav-
ing an outing on the streets
Next case-Tramp No. 2: Stand
up and say what you have to say and
say it quick.
Well, Judge, (bows to the court)
l was only En- PEASANT southwark
bound when struck your town. The
sun shone out in all its glory, its
transcehdant rays penetrating each
]eafy brown of the majestic oak and
causing your beautiful little stream
of water on Centre street to glimmer
like unto a bran new dollar. Yes,
Judge, me thoughts tuned to Shakes
speare's poem on the broo klet and I
wrote:
o, listen to the title frogs,
Their music is so sweet
If you would like to hear them,
Why pass down Centre street
The beer cork floats on down the
stream
The grape hulls join in just between,
The soda fountain Stops appear.
Bnt the frog sings on twixt drinks and
tears,
Hold up, that's enough and too
much, too, Officer Denning was in
structed to see the tramp out of the
city limits in a sout Inward direction
without delays.
