POOR PRESIDENTS.

The White House Has Never Been Occu-
pied by Wealthy Men.
It is still true, even in these days of
great fortunes undreamed of when It
was founded, that the American presi-
dency may be aspired to by men who
are not rich. Our wealthiest presi-
dents have been the first and the last
elected - Washington and Cleveland.
Washington was one of the wealthiest
men in the country il his time.
Adams was worth one hundred thou
sand dollars at his death. Jefferson
was Gland poor and in straits. Madi-
son and Monroe had comfortable es-
tatcs fer those days.
jackson, according to the New York
Recorder, was born in abject poverty
and never became wealthy, Van Buren,
was the son Of tavernkeeper, and had
q fight with poverty.
Johnson's youth was. even more un-
fortunate than Lincoln's. He was ap-
prenticed to tailor, barely learned to
read in his minority, and was taught to
write by his wife after marriage.
Grant was born only moderately poor
and never became rich. So of Hayes
Cleveland's youth was one of privation
and toll.
Harrison was of good but not wealthy
family, and was, up to recent times, a
country lawyer in good circumstances.
He is but moderately wealthy.
The "aristocracy of wealth" has
never made any inroads upon the white
house.

ELKO, NEVADA, MONDAY, APRIL "A. 1898
THE ARGENTINE REPUBLIC.

Some OF the Salient and Interesting Fea-
lures OF That Central Government.
The constitution of the Argentine Re-
public is, in its features, identical to
that of the United States, says Don
Juan S. Attwen in the New England
Magazine. Nevertheless there are some
differences worthy of note. The presi-
dent is elected in precisely the same
manner as in the United States, but
cannot be reelected, and his term of Of
flee is six years. He has more power
than the president of the United States
rs far as making appointments is con-
cerned, since he only asks the advice
and consent of the senate to appoint
diplomat tic ministers, judges and officers
OF the army and navy above the rank of
colonel. He fills all other offices at his
own discretion, but all his DEGREES,
proclamations, ETC., must be counter
signed by a cabinet minister or else
they are valueless. Thus the constitu-
ton makes the cabinet ministers re-
sponsible for all the. acts of the presi-
dent.
The members Of the cabinet can an
swer questions and take part in the de-
bates of the house and senate, although
they are not members OF either body,
nor does any adverse vote on any
measure of the government carry with
it a change in the cabinet, as is the
case in France and England, and is be-
coming the custom in Chilli.
The powers Of the Argentine congress
are similar to those vested in the con-
gress of the United States, though some
what greater. The congress has the
power to legislate for all the provinces,
debating codes to be applied in all of
them, thus securing uniformity of leg
islation. The provinces reserve the
right to elect their own judges, as we'll
as other officials that their local consti-
tuition demands. ALI federal and pro-
vincial judges are appointed for life
and cannot be removed unless they are
impeached and condemned.

Present Fit for Royalty.

Perhaps the biggest and most costly
wedding present ever given is now in
course of manufacture. 1t takes the
form of massive silver table service
ornamented with gold, and will accom-
modate no fewer than sixty-eight per-
sons. There will be seven hundred and
ninety-six plates and one hundred and
thirty-one dishes, and each piece will
bear the entwined monogram of the
king and queen of Greece, who will re-
ceive this magnificent gift jointly from
the car and czarina, the king and
queen of Denmark, the prince and
princess of Wales and the duke and
duchess of Cumberland on the occasion
of their silver wedding. -.... t.

Pass the Wilson Bill.

We observe that there is considerable
difference of opinion among Democrats
in regard to the new tariff bill. If
this difference were typical, or repre-
sentative, we should find those who
are in favor of tariff for revenue
only opposing the Wilson bill, while
those who are moderate protectionists
would approve its main featuros-for
the bill is almost precisely such a
measure as the platform of 1884 called
for. But, in point of fact, we find the
Courier Journal, which is for free-trade,
favoring the bill. while the Richmond
Times, which is for tariff for revenue
only, opposing it. We find also some
of the moderate protectionists oppos-
ing the bill and others favoring it.
The truth seems to be that the meas
ure is in the nature of compromise
between conflicting views in the com
mittee, and is put forward as the basis
of temporary settlement of the tariff
question on conservative lines.
There is much in the bill that ought
to meet the approval of those who are
anxious to see the present anomalous
business situation relieved of the strain
that has been put upon it.
We say, therefore, that the thing to
do is pass the Wilson tariff bill and get
it out of the way, so that whatever un-
toward influence, doubt or expectation
it may have on the business situation
shall be removed. It is not to be ex-
pected that every Democrat will ap-
prove each line or paragraph of the
bill; but the bill as whole moves
toward reform. It lays the foundation
for a more radical treatment of the
whole question at some future time.
It removes some of the obstacles that
have stood in the way of reform. It

A Dream.

"W. G." has dream which he
wishes some one to interpret for him.
It is just as the dreamer himself says,
.swe have dreams that in our wakeful
moments we should never have thought
Of,
First, w. G. has dealings with a re-
pentant horse thief in which he loses
half his money; next he has a visit
from Uncle Sam in which he loses all
his money. He had moved out west
and entered some land; made farm
out of it; then Uncle Sam appears and
demands the deed to his land. which
he has bought and paid for in good
faith, as thousands of others have;
but Uncle Sam refuses to return the
entrance money, and advises the set
tier to read Henry Georges books and
see that he, U. S., is right.
Had our dreamer been awake instead
of asleep and dreaming, he would have
remembered that the highest courts
have often taken away titles to land
that had been bought in good faith. on
account of some flaw in deed, or lapse
in title generations back, and gave not
only no compensation. after long and
expensive suit, but took all the inn
provements with the land and turned
them all over to an individual for his
own private benefit. In this dream,
u. S. demanded w. G.'s deed because
the public required it; and left W. G.

will prepare the public mind Of the
east for accepting the tariff for revenue
only which the people are in favor OF
and which they will some day force
through congress.
The main thing is to get the measure
out of the way so that it will be in
operation before the people turn their
attention to electing congressman next
year.
The Wilson bill is conservative and
still Democratic. It applies to the tar
if for the first time in thirty years the
gauge and measure of genuine reform.
If the bill can be amended in any
particular without delaying it, there is
no objection to that; but there should
be no unnecessary delay. The meas
ure should be made law as promptly
as it can be put through congress, and
it should should 60 into operation at a
date as early as is consistent with the
welfare of the businesss interests which
it affects.
Whatever criticism may be passed
on the Wilson bill, there is this much
to be said in its favor-it is better
than the Mckinley law. Being better
than that oppressive law, it should be
supported by the Democrats and be
pushed through congress with all pos
sible speed. The people are tired of
Democratic wrangling over every pub
lie question that comes up for settle
ment. They want to see Democratic
action and that action cannot be too
prompt. atlanta Constitution.

The Presidents Contemptuous Opinion
Of the Federal Legislature.

The personal attitude of Mr.. Cleve-
land toward Congress is illustrated in
an extraordinary passage in his mes
sage referring to the Civil Service law
of 1888.
1.-The law embodying this REFORM"
Mr.. Cleveland informs Congress ''found
its way to our statute book more from
fear of this popular sentiment exist
ing in its favor than from any love of
lators,''
Mr.. Cleveland's private opinion OF
honesty of the motives which led the
Forty-eighth Congress to enact the
Civil Service law is not matter of
public Importance. He may tell his
frinds right and left, if he pleases, that
civil service reform has never had
more than one thoroughly honest and
truly disinterested advocate and sup
porter; namely, himself. Nobody has
a right to quarrel withMr. Cleveland,
as an individual, for his contemptuous
estimate of the motives actuating the
Senate and the House of Representa-
tives.
But when Mr.. Cleveland, as Presi-
dent of the United States and in an
official communication to Congress,
goes out of his way TO attribute the ex-
istence of certain legislation to polite
al cowardice in Congress, to an ignoble
fear of public resentment rather than
to sense of duty, he is guilty of a piece
of discourtesy as impudent as it is un-
necessary and unjustifable.
The gross impropriety of this slur
upon the Legislative branch Of the
Government would be parralleled if
the Fiftythird Congress should now
adopt joint resolution declaring that
President Cleveland signed the Oleo-
margarine bill in 1886 more from fear
of the farmer vote as affecting his pros
pect of reelection, than from any devo-
tion to the principle that the taxing
power of the Government may be used
to promote one American industry at
at the expense of another. No doubt
the Hon. Grover Cleveland would Bit
terly resent the passage of such reso-
luton by Congress; yet he has afforded
a precedent for it.
Mr. Cleveland does not seem to un-
derstand that TIE Executive has no
more right to question the honesty of
the motives of Congress in matters of
legislation, present or past, than Con-
gress has to impute discreditable per-
soual motives to the President in his
ordinary official acts.
Indeed, under certain circumstances,
Congress may investigate the .Presi-
dents motives and pass upon the hon
esty or dishonesty of his acts, while
the President is not authorized to ex-
ercise any sort of censorship ovsr the
morals of the Legislative branch of the
Government. The Constition provides
for the impeachment of the President
by Congress. There is no provision IN
the Constitution for the impeachment
of Congress by the President.-N, Y.

of his land forever, on condition that
the land alone should be the full meas
ure of w. G.'s debt and duty to the
state, to be paid annually; and that no
taxes, direct, or indirect, should be as
sessed upon the products of his labor.
This would leave W. &. in better fix
than U. S. found him, and in full pos
session of his land beside.
The courts decide for private good,
and strip the unfortunate buyer. U.
S. decides, in this case, for the public
good, the public good being the high
est law, and takes nothing from w.
G. but worthless paper title, the only
value of which, afterwards, would be
as an historical curiosity, and mento
of the days when Christian civilization
was only half developed, and govern
ments were shams.
w. G. is to be no longer taxed, and
virtually fined for improving his land,
and in trying to live and to raise an in
dustrious family; but the spectators,
who were holding idle better lands all
round him, would be required to pay
as much, or more, than W. G.. or drop
their lands to others who would i'm
prove and use them. The result
would be better roads and bridges for
w. G.'s use; the distant shanty, called
by courtesy school house, would be
moved close to him and be changed
into commodious and tasteful edifice.
The right of men to life, liberty and
the pursuit of happiness would no
longer be bought and sold; money would
no longer be god; and though con-
yicts should become his neighbors, they
would soon become good and reputable
citizens, as they did in Maryland, in
the days of the Baltimores, for human
nature would be seen at its best and not
at its worst as now.
Had w. G. read Georges works, and
been awake, he would never have sup
posed u S. such fool as to demand
an empty land title.
In short this dream was but a land
lords reverie. w. G.. was oppressed,
mentally. by that nightmare OF igno-
rant selfshness which is the doubtful
support of landlordism. Uncle S.
should have told w. G. that he would
not give broken jack-knife for the
deed he had given him. 1t had been
given in error; an error that had made
government partner with spectators
and landlords; and that, hereafter, he
was going to do better by his sons than
that, and make a yearly tax receipt bar
all lapses and reversions, so that no
man would want land except to occupy
and use it.
Before our friend falls asleep over
this copy of the REGISTER let him fix
on his mind a maxim older than the
tables of Justiniau: s'Bonuna publico
legis IN ercelsis," the public good is the
highest law. Or let him memorize
Chief Justice Marshal's decision, 'the
people of every state in the American
Union have a reserved right to the full
rental value of all lands that haye
passed as private private property
whenever they desire to take it for
public purposes" FARMER.
