LAKEWOOD, n. j., Feb. 15.-Cleveland
officially announced the names of four
members of his cabinet through the United
Press last evening. They are Walter @.
Gresham, of Illinois, secretary of state;
John c. Carlisle of Kentucky, secretary of
the treasury; Daniel S. Lamont, of New
York, secretary of war; Wilson S. Bissell,
of Buffalo, postmaster general On max
ing the announcements, Mr.. Cleveland
said: "There is no need of any mystery in
regard to the cabinet and it is useless to
speculate and indulge in guess work.
shall make no secret of the matter but
shall announce the names of gentlemen Sc
lected TO fill the positions as fast as receive
their acceptances and permission to make
the matter public"
Will Confer About Some Others.
Cleveland would say nothing in regard to
the other positions or the men who have
been mentioned in connection with them.
1t is evident that Hoke Smith, Hilary A
Herbert and others who have been men
TONED are still under consideration. A
conference which will probably settle Hoke
Smiths chances one way or the other will
be held at Cleveland's office in New York
some day this week. Senator Gordon and
other southerners will be present. Cleveland
had a social visit from Mr. Cadwallader,
of Philadelphia, yesterday. This is Cad
wallader's second visit inside of a week. He
is supposed to have an interest in the selec-
tion of Philadelphian whose name he
carefully guards from the public.
Populist Martin Has n Confab.
Populist Senator-elect Martin, of Kansas
and DIR. S. j. Neely, of the same state, had
q long talk with Cleveland yesterday. They
put in a strong claim for representation
in the cabinet from Kansas Martin urged
the selection of ex Governor Click, and left
Lakewood in happy frame of mind rs to
the chances of his candidate. He said that
Cleveland informed him that Gresham had
not been selected to temporarily fill the
place ofSsecretary of state until Minister
E. j. Phelps finished with the Behring sea
controversy, but has been selected for
good.

we are as good scrappers as they are They

you that it will be finally settled only at

Hurls Defiance at the Enemy.
"The people will settle it at the ballot
box. Loud cheersl We are right, and
by the God above we will keep right. This
house is ours. We fairly elected it, and no
minions of the Santa Fe road shall take it
away from us. We are here to stay, and
we are here to transact business. And now,
gentlemen of the house, the hour to which
we adjourned having arrived the house
will come to order. Chief Clerk Ben G.
Rich (he is still with us, gentlemen will
call the roll" Rich called the roll, and
after prayer by the chaplain the house
proceeded with business in its regular
order.
Both Sides Very Determined.
The situation here is serious in the ex-
treme. There is likely to be a conflict here
today which may end in riot and blood
shed. The Republicans are determined to
arrest Rich and the Populists say they
never will submit to it. Both speakers
have sworn In 100 extra sergeants-at- arms
and they are all armed. 1t is firmly be-
lieved that the Populists will bar the
doors of representative hall against the
Republicans today and the Republicans
say that if they do they will batter down
the doors
dwellings Advice to the Populists.
Speaker Douglass, of the Republican
house, said last night that the end of this
revolutionary business must come and that
the majesty of the law should be upheld
no matter at what cost Governor Lewell-
ing is advising the Populists to resist by
force all attempts at arrest. Sergeant-at-
arms Clevenger, of the Republican house,

whom he arrested in Labette county, and
1t is believed that the Populists will at
tempt to rescue him when he reaches here

No Senators Elected Yet by the Other
Squabbling Statesmen.
BISMARCK, n. D., Feb. 15-It was an
nounced just before the joint assembly
convened that Judge w. B. Mcconnell
would yesterday receive the votes of the
Democrats and Populists, on the statement
of some of McConnells friends that he
could command twenty Republican votes
There must have been something wrong,
for Mcconnell got no Republican votes.
Representative Simpson (Rep.) announced
on the floor of the house that he would cast
his vote today for any Democrat who could
come within one vote of being elected.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo-. Feb. 15.-Freight

road, which left Kansas City at O'Clock
Monday night, was held up between Little
Blue and Pleasant Hill by a gang of
masked robbers. The robbers obtained
nothing for their trouble, but it was un-
doubtedly their intention to rob the east
bound passenger train which left Kansas
City at $50 p. IN. They tagged the freight
train with lantern, and discovering their
mistake tried TO make amends by raid on
the caboose

CHEYENNE, Wyo., Feb 15.-Ever since
the senatorial fight has been in progress
here the opponents of Ex-Governor Baxter
have claimed that he has so blocked the
way as to make the election of Democrat
an impossibility. That charge was ex-
ploded at neon yesterday. Every member
OF the Baxter delegation voted for General
John Charles Thompson, so did the four
Populists, but even then the ex-Kentucki-
an failed to be made United States SEN
ator.

A PROFOUND PRESENTATION.

Senator George of Mississippi, who has
been engaged for some months, in accord
ance with senate resolution, in the In
ve5tigation of the causes CT agricultural
depression, has prepared an address
which he will send to the cotton planters
of the United States. He expresses the
opinion that Cotton will never again pro-
duce the high prices it once did, and
urges the cotton growers to raise their
own supplies, this being resarded as alb
solutely essential if it be impossible to
make an agreement which VIII result in
combined action to plant reduced
acreage.
This is very plain, practical common
sense. though it is doubtful if the advice
given is needed and acted upon. And
isn't it trifie remarkable that the cru
dite senator should base the agricultural
depression alleged to have existed all
over the country upon the overproduc-
ton of cotton and consequent low price
therefor, aud then advise the cotton
planters to raise less cotton and more
piofioioho, tH;Io ConeiHuihS IHo U0PiCS
sion, to that extent, upon the farmers Of
other sections who raise provisions, the
market for which in part is in the cotton
states? And all this investigation and
advice at the public expense! The
learned senator says never word about
extending our markets in the world
under the reciprocity law and policy of
the government.

OPEN WAR DECLARED

The war in the camp of the Kansas
Democracy that has been brewing ever
since the election last year is now on in
dead earnest. The appearance of the
stalwart leaders in Washington and
their formal protest against any recogui-
ton Of the fusion element by the admin
istration. has but the latter following
both in Washington and in this state in
the attitude of open hostilities. Duus-
more, Burgard and several others are in
Washington coaching John Martin.
while the Democratic clubs in the state
are holding meetings and resolving to
stand by Martin to the end. Both sides
swear-with real, sure enough cuss
wordS-that it is war TO the knife. Mean
while neither faction is recognized by
the administration, and is not likely 10
be until the war is over. Fortunately
the bones of contention, the offices. are
in good and efficient Republican hands
and the public service will not suffer by
reason OF the delay in making official
changes.

There appeared in several Monday
papers that are published In Kansas, in
their news columns an article of nearly
a columns length under an Arkansas
City date, purporting to give lot of III
formation obtained from certain govern
ment officials pertaining to the strip.
The article was evidently fake; it con-
tanned several propositions that are too
absurd to be entertained seriously for a
moment. The Arkansas City papers
contained nothing concerning the mat
ter, which they would had there been
any substance to it.

The attempt OF the Topeka Press to
clothe itself with the bifercated garment
of fusion between the Democratic and
Peoples parties in that city, and ride
the two in a hurdle race. has proven
flat failure. In the first place the
parties refused to fuse or cooperate:
then each put out local ticket of its
own; later the Populist candidate for
mayor withdrew in favor of an indie
pendent, all the while the Press remain
ing as silent as shrimp. During this
season of silence on the part of the Press,
the Democrat, which paper discarded its
former name of Sentinel and took up
the name Democrat, which the Press
dropped, has gone right ahead as the ex-

For springtime green or autumn brown.

MAUO'S "PIN-MONEY."
Uncle Hugh Tells How This Term FIR
Came into Use

Uncle Hugh Tells How This Term First
Came into Use
Here is your pin-money, Maud. ="
said Uncle Hugh, as he handed his
niece bright silver dollar.
Thank you. uncle; was just wish
ing for some spare change" and Maud :
eyes fairly beamed as she took the
offered money.
''Uncle Hugh, when Won give ne
money to spend just as I please, WHY
do you always call it pin-money?'
Maud asked.
well, my dear, I will tell You the
origin of the term 'pin-money.' Pins
were introduced into England By
Catharine, first wife of Henry VIII.
They were not, however, the we'll
known small-pointed instruments such
as we use. but were made of gold.
silver. ivory and brass, many =
them weighing rs much -
six or eight ounces. Such pins
as those were worn in the hair and
used on different parts of the clothing
to fasten folds or drapery. and were
quite ornamental. Thus, you see, the
first pins were much more useful 70 n
dies than gentlemen. The Spanish
manufacturers were permitted 10 sell
their pins only during the Christmas
holidays. and in that way gentlemen
began to give the ladies of their respec-
tive families money at Christmas-time
with which TO buy pins. Al first they
were very expensive, costing as much
as we now have TO pay for a valuable
piece Of jcwelry. However, after pins
had become common and cheap,
gentlemen continued the practice Of
giving their wives, daughters and sis
ters money to buy pins; in that way
the term 'pin-momey' originated, and Il
is now applied to an allowance made 20
a lady to buy any small articles she
may need or desire"

HE WAS WILLING 10 SHOVEL.


How . Young MAN Started on . Career u
Marked Success
To be willing to begin at the bottom
is the open secret of being able to
come out at the top A few years aro
q young man came to this country 10
take q position in a new enterprise in
the southwest. He was well-bred,
well-educated, and he had the tastes of
his birth and education. He reached
the scene of his proposed labors. and
found to his dismay that the enter
prise was already bankrupt and that
he was penniless, homeless and friend
less in strange land. He worked his
way back TO New York, and in the
winter found himself without money
or friends in the great busy metropolis.
He did not stop to measure the OBJ
stacles in his path. He simply set out
to find work. He would have preferred
the pen. but he was willing to take the
shovel, and the shovel it was to be.
Passing down Fourth avenue on a
snowy morning he found crowd of
men at work shoveling snow from the
sidewalk about a well-known locality;
he applied for position in their ranks,
got it, and went to work with hearty
good will as if shoveling were his vocs-
ton. Not long after one of the owners
OF the property, millionaire, passing
along the street, saw the young mans
face and was struck by his intelligence
and wondered what had brought him
to such pass. A day or two later his
business took him to the same locality
again, and brought him face to face
with the same man still shoveling
snow. He stopped, spoke to him, re-
ceived a prompt and courteous answer,
talked a few minutes for the sake OF
getting few facts about his history, and
then asked the young man TO call at his
Office. That night the shovel era end
ed, and the next day at the appointed
time the young man was closeted with
the millionaire. In one of the latter's
many enterprises there was a vacant
place, and the young man who was
viking to shovel got it. 1t was a small
place at small salary, but he more
than filed it; he filed IL SO well in
deed, that in few months he was pro-
NOTED. and at the end of three years he
was at the head of the enterprise with
a large salary. He is there to-day with
the certainty that il he lives he viii
eventually fill position second in i'm
portance to none in the field in which
he is working. The story is told in three
words: Willing to shovel--Christian
Union

The Republican ticket-from Cox to
Jones-will be elected next Tuesday by
1000 to 1,50O majority, if every Repub-
iican in The city votes for the best inter-
est of the city and state. If every citi-
zen should be governed by the same
motive, the vote for the Republican
ticket would be unanimous; but this is,
perhaps, hoping for too much. IT'S
true, it's pity, that all citizens-all
voters-are not governed in the exercise
of the highest prerogative of citizenship
by desire to promote the best interests
of the community, and more's the pity
that some seem to be inspired by the
very reverse Of motives. Hence the i'm
poriance, the necessity, for concerted
and unanimous action on the part Of
those rightly moved.

Howe PHILOSOPHICAL

The following are some of the rumina-
tons of Ed Howe the day he struck
Atchison after his unfortunate venture
in Kansas City:
When a man loses his nerve, lie
usually gees in search Of q saloon.
Many u man makes his worst mistake
while his friends look admiringly on.
The trouble is that when q man makes
fool of himself. he always selects the
most conspicuous place to do it in.
Sometimes thosewho pat YOU on The
back when you bite more than you can
chew, do it to make you choke to death.
w hen a man gets into trouble. he
usually spends his time in smoking poor
cigars aud thinking, instead of going
to work to get cut.

OLD-TIME HOSPITALITY.
4 Trait Which Il Prominent In Old vir-

son a bright summer morning early
in the eighties, with my father I left
Berryville, in Clarke county, and drove
east across the Shenandoah river, up
the road to Smokers gap, in the Blue
Ridge. There we turned south to visit
a point where a shooting affair had oc.
Cured, lin which my father was inter-
ested as an attorney. On account of
the many winding roads we became
lost and drove beyond the place week
pected to reach. In a short time, how
ever, we heard a rooster Growing, and
going short distance saw mountain

'We drove up, and were greeted By
an old gentleman who was as least four
scores and two His home was a simple
one, but the right royal welcome he
gave us was as cheering as "a rock in
weary land" and as free from decep-
ton as dross is foreign to tempered
steel. The patriot was great admirer
of "Old Hickory" and had strong views
about the affairs of the day.

door. and everything showed a sign of
