If you are hunting Congressional
timber, Republicans of Preston,
you will find that Fortney, in the
range of knowledge, in self control
aud practical common sense, is
greatly the superior of Holt and
Dayton, who have been digging for
political bait up in old Reno.

Here is the way Bro. Thompson,
of the Keyser Echo, gets upon his
hind feet and brays about little
editorial in the ARGUS of July 18th,
poking fun at Hon. G.. Wesley
Atkinson, late lamented Republi-
can candidate for Congress in the
First District:
The remarks of the Kingwood Ar.
gus concerning the Christian char
acter and work of tho Hon. G.. w.
Atkinson would be little disgrace
ful to native Hindoo editor. They
are doubly so when coming from "a
man who has lived in Christian
community all his life.
Fact Of it is, that we would much
prefer to be "a native Hindoo edi-
tor" than to be white man. living
in white man country and "Chris.
tian community all our life," and
yet be such & crank and abnormal
specimen Of white humanity as to
prefer to attend a darkey church
and associate with colored people,
and even carry the idiocy 50 far as
to employ only negro girls IN our
printing Office, when there were
plenty Of white churches to attend
and white printers to be employed.
But the laws Of gravitation are in
exorable and water is bound to
seek it's level, and as this is a free
country a man ought to be allowed
to associate with Whatever company
he prefers and considers most suit
able for him, and we are willing for
Bro. Thompson TO be has own Judge
in the matter.

many Republicans are protesting

1t is not the custom of the AR
Gus to remind people of their mis-

popularity with the people.

1t Is a good thing for the Demo
cratic party that there are some
decent and honorable Republicans
in Office, who are honest enough to
admit that the Democrats are en-
titled to the Federal offices, and
therefore resign from the ones they
are holding and give some Demo
crat show. Otherwise they could
hold on as long as they chose, as it
is against the policy of this Admin
istration to turn any Republican
out of an Office as long as he can be
persuaded to hold on to it. The
first class foreign missions have at
last all been filled by Democrats.
The office of Minister to Russia has
been held by Andrew ID. White, Of
New York, who finally concluded
that the President was not going to
appoint anyone in his place, and so
resigned the other day and Con-
gresham Clinton Il. Breckenridge,
Of Arkansas, was appointed by tho
President and confirmed by the
Senate for the vacancy. The salary
is $l7, 800 per year and very hon
orable position.

Political ingratitude Is so com
mon in Washington that it seldom
attracts more than a passing notice,
but the apostacy az Representative
benson, of Alabama, who has writ
ten a letter announcing his with.
drawal from the Democratic party
and his intention I'd act with the
popuhsts hereafter, is such a glar-
ing case and his object so plain to
all that it is receiving more atten-
ton than it really deserves. Said
IN Alabama Democrat "The rea
son given by benson for leaving the
Democratic party-his inability to
support President Cleveland and
his fin ncial poIcy-is absolutely
ridiculous when the flct is remem-
bered that he owes his seat i'm the
House to President Cleveland, who,
during his first administration, ap
pointed him u. S. District Attor-
ney for the Northern and Middle
Districts of Alabama, thus giving
him the prominence which enabled
him to get nominated and elected
to Congress two years ago. Now
President Cleveland, rs all the
world knows, has not changed the
financial ideas he held during his
first term. 1t is benson who
changed, and the reason, while OBJ
vious, is not hattering to hun. The
third party has been strong in his
district for several years he only
beat his popuist opponent by 1900
votes in a total of more than 20, 900
and benson believes 1T will carry
the district this year and is willing
to be elected to Congress as pop
ulist rather than to chance beng
defeated as a Democrat. Such
men can be spared by the Demo
cratic party.

NATIONAL CAPITAL.
Car Weekly Letter from the Home OF

WASHINGTON, ID. c., !

WASHINGTON, ID. c.,
July 81, 1894.
He must be queer sort of a
Democrat who can get any satisfac.
ton out of the present tariff situa.
ton. The report OF a genera dis.
agreement as the result OF nearly
two weeks work on the part of the
House and Senate conferees GER
tainly does not look encouraging.
although some OF tie gloom is lifted
by the knowledge that while the
disagreement is for reasons salts
factory to the conferees reported to
be general it is IN fact only over
some half dozen of the Senate
amendments, including sugar, coal
and iron ore, the House conferees
insisting that they should go on The
free list, as IN the Wilson bill, and
the Senate conferees that they shall
remain as passed by the Senate. 1t
Is not clear just at this time what
the outcome is to be, but I cannot
believe that the Democrats in Con.
gress will be willing to carry the
disagreement to the extent of allow
ing the Mckinley law to remain in
force, as is now being jubllantly
predicted by the Repu bllcans. It
would bo better if the conferees af-
ter another attempt fail to reach an
agreement to call in some prom =
inent Democrats from the outsi lie
and let them arbitrate. The Dem
ocratic party has promised the
country II tariff law and it will be
suicidal for the Democrats in Con-
gress to fail to keep that promise.
