MISTAKEN.
Mitchell paper states that
'hJ ,obnny pease says he has been APP
pointed clerk of Senator kyle's COM
Ted @p,ittee. In the presence Of Senator
cI KYLE | today asked Duncan McFar-
EST and who is the clerk Of this commit
aa tap repeating what Pease is alleged
,$9 Il have said. Mack, the Scot, said:
4 I.porbaps he is: but I've been sworn
I'd Iin and am drawing the pay"
Ill GOING SLOWLY.
Nj The senate is going quite slowly.
I'd They have two or three meetings a
week-or. to be exact, they've had
cad nine sessions in three weeks. The
I'D presldent is very slow in sending in
NC ...;one irct nc INV man would |
oI be who has to talk daily with scores
of applicants for Office. No president
has been more persistently besieged
for office than Mr.. Cleveland has
cd been 10 the last three weeks. And
when the applicants reach his room
they are nearly rude in crowdiGg up
= to him and saying: Gimme this"
= or sGimme that" The president is
patient and not so brusque as he was
in 1885.
But | was speaking of the senate.
This body has before it the question
of admitting three gentlemen who
have been appointed by their gov
: ernors after the legislatures had the
opportunity and failed to elect. No
senator has ever been admitted to
this body under such conditions. II
these gentlemen are refused admis-
4 sim, their states will only be half
/, represented until their legislatures
elect-perhaps two years hence. The
cases have been referred to the COM
mittee on privileges and elections,
where majority and minority reports
hare been prepared. These may re-
quire a week or mere Of debate
There Is to be an attempt made TO
elect new officers Of the senate. The
democrats have made their nom
nations, but they have not bound
themselves to support these nomina-
tons, for there are, it is said, about
fifteen senator's opposed TO turning
out the officers at a special session OF
the senate-an act without precedent
In the history Of the senate. But
even with these two questions before
them they ought to and expect to
adjourn by April 10th at the latest.
FEW LEFT.
Most Of the South Dakotans have
gone home. A mar needs to have
held a fat Office for a year before he
can afford to stop a month in a first
class hotel in Washington. About
The only one OF your citizens who
wears a smiling face is Major Anthony
v Leiben of Pierre. He is so sure of
mat Indian i~Dspectorship that he
wouldn't give l29 cents to be insured
on getting it. Gov. Couchman is his
principal local competitor. Leiben
says of him: "IIe is not a Cleveland
man at heart: he's the only n OF our
delegation to the Chicago convention
VINO voted for Hill. And he refused
10 withdraw from the state ticket
last fall SO we could defeat the re-
puDlicans." How a mans failings do
SHINE when the man is in another's
wayl
THE EXEs MoLLIFIED.
The latest news from headquarters
Sthat the president decides an sex"
can have a different position from the
one ne held liz 1886 81; but not the one
ne Illed in that period. 1t is being
eod that the western relative
~nom Mr.. Cleveland refused to give
an ofice Is a cousin of Mrs. Cleveland
and used to edit a paper somewhere
Ia ~Minnehaha county, South Dakota.
