SILLY "ELAPDOODLE."

Considerable "fapdoodle" is being written just now about the vast amount of work that President Cleveland has been called upon to perform, the result of which he was compelled to take sea trip In order to build up his shattered constitution.
 This sort of gossip is silly and puerlle. There is no reason whatever why the president of the United States should, under the department system and the subdivision of work therein, be con- pelled to sit at his desk until 4 o'clock in the morning, or even for one hour after he has eaten his o'clock dinner. If President Cleveland has indulged in such unnecessary folly it is his own fault. Even Abraham Lincoln, who occupied the White House during the most exciting period of the nations history, was never heard to complain that he was exhausted by physical work. There is no need of the presl- dent doing those things which properly
 belong to his clerical force. President
 Cleyeland's overweenipg concelt no
 doubt impels him to assume certain
 amount of drudgery which he could
 safely and properly turn over to his sec
 retaries and the clerks in the various departments. If he wishes to plod
 night after night in his private office,
 that is his business, and the public has } no sympathyswith the pitiful tales o1 overwork retailed by his namby-pamby t private secretary.
 t President Depew of the New York Central Railroad company, who holds ;. one of the most responsible positions 1T
 the country, is never overworked. He , always has time to attend dinners ane
 make speeches, and to spend few . months in Europe once year. He | f not anxious to do purely clerical worl a merely for the sake of boasting how a hard he is pressed in order to keep hl
 affairs straight. The country has heart a enough about President Cleveland q bur ling the midnight oil, and all tha

" THouSAND miners in

TWENTY THOUSAND miners in the Pittsburg coal district threaten to strike. If they do it means misery and loss of wages to nearly all of them, and perhaps death to some of the men. The end of that strike can be antici- pated before it is begun. The money lost by men who are continually strik- ing would more than make up any ad- vantage they hope to gain.

THE appropriations made by the Fifty-frst congre:s, known as the "billion dollar" congress, amounted to $9SS, ,000, ,O000. The appropriations made by the Fifty-third congress, in; cluding the interest upon bonds, made @ part of the permanent expenses. will be about $993,0OO,OOO. That is doing pretty we'll for the first Democratic re- form congress, elected upon a basis of economy in the public expenditures.

PHGNIx. MARCH IA. 1895.
A BRIGHT FUTURE.

There is hopeful feeling in Maricopa county this spring. Almost all the people with whom we talk are cheerful and anticipate better times. General farmers, orchardists and grape growers have brighter prospects than they have known for several years.
 There is good reason for this hopeful ness. The season thus far has been very fine. Our winter rains were am- ple, but not excessive. Following the winter rains came weeks of delightful weather with blows running every where. Orchards, vineyards, gardens and grain fields have seldom been in better condition at this time of ear than they now are.
 The construction of the Santa Fe railroad and revival ot mining will create a demand for farm products. Better times east and the starting up of some of the mills there will improve the fruit market. The advanced price of wine adds hundreds of thousands ot dollars to the value of our vineyard products. All these facts mean much to Maricopa county producers.
 Then, too, many new people are com ing into this section of the territory bringing their money with them and thus adding to our wealth. At no time in the pas! have there been so many peo ple residing in Maricopa county as a the present. There are few vacan houses in the towns and there is con siderable activity in building opera tions.
 It has been a good while since there were more residences under construc tion in Phoenix than at present. Ham mers and saws are making music thu is pleasant for mechanics. And tn residences that are being erected ar generally of good character.
 Yet, the outlook here is good. Ther can be no question about this. Tn

sort of rubbish. Such talk has ceased to bring forth any expressions of sym pathy. The duties of the president are many and varled, but there is no reason why he should seek to be his own cabinet and all the departments besides and attempt to do all of the work. It is an exhibition of distrust and weak ness.

which he bore his sufferings excited

Tricks of Tramns.

A tramp epidemic of new order

audacious daylight burglaries. The

bullying method of the country, nor

pie: The bell rings, and the lady of

fact is Ga half sob) his little child is

The stranger thanks her in dumb,
half-hearted sort of wayne is too
cast down to be effusively grateful
and departs for the next well appear
ing house to levy similar tax. This
is the most successful dodge of the
day, and the contribution demanded
never exceeds 81. Another is the
dashing, audaciously benevolent
swindle, and is carried on thus: A
merry, vivacious party asks for the
master of the house. He does not

WHEN SPRING COMES.

Along the yellow roads the grass
Shall softly creep like noiseless feet,
A thousand o tors sabtiy sweet
Shall breathe whereer the south winds pass.
The first pale blossoms shall unfold
Beside the lingering drifts Of snow,
The dandelion wake aud glow
Ere fades the croeus' white and gold.
The swallow on his airy wing
Shall soar where skies are softly blue,
In thickets wet at noon with dew
The hermit-thrush shall lurk and sing.
But who shall care for these alas!
If from grave the flowers shall grow.
And warm rains only melt the snow
To hide the dead bene tn the grass.

Western Kansas world. [volume] (WaKeeney, Kan.) 1885-current, 1895-11-09

OF the Judge Long Pension case on
the docket of the United States Su-
preme court, the Attorney General
indicates briefly the position his office
will take in the latter. He says:
There are, as we have seen. very
strong reasons for holding that where
title has passed or the rights of in
nocent third persons have Superyened
or there has been very great lapse of
time without question, the decisions
of the head of an executive depart
ment should be considered as beyond
the power of his successor to disturb.
The reasons are quite strong, also
why, as to the transaction wholly
ended, where credit has been given or
money paid over, there should be no
recognized right of review save for
fraud or manifest illegality. But
where there were payments there
seems to be no good reasons why sue
seeding incumbentS of the office
charged with present responsibility,
should be concluded by the decisions
of their predecessors. They should
not lightly oyerrule their predeceS-
SorS. but when satisfied and convinced
that error has been committed, and
that there is no legal warrant for the
payment demanded it would seem to
be their duty as we'll as their right to
rectify the error. The recognition of
the power in such cases involves no
destruction of vested rights, no i'm
pairment of the obligations of con-
tract, and 10 abridgement of the
equities of third persons.
