The eulogy of Senator Voorhees,
on the late Secretary Gresham, al
though compressed into short
telegram sent to Serge at. Arms
Bright Of the Senate, will hardly
be surpassed by any of the many
longer ones to be written or spoken.
Mr.. VOORHEES, said "Indlana is in
mourning for her most distinguish
ed native born son. or command
ing ability, stainless honor and un-
daunted courage, Walter O..
Gresham lived and died the great
soldier, the great jarist, and the
great Secretary. No manlier spirit
was ever called from earth, no truer
nor more patriotic heart ever ceased
to beat. He loved his neighbors as
himself and his country more than
himself. His name and fame will
continue to live OH the best pages
of American history as long as that
history itself endures. You and
lose a friend beloved. May God
bless the bereayed ones IN his dark
ened home "

Politicians of all parties who
happened to be at Washington
when the news Of the easy triumph
Of the Foraker men over the McKin-
leyites in the Ohio Republican State
Convention was received, agreed in
expressing the opinion that the
Mckinley boom was thereby heavily
handicapped, not withstanding the
perfunctory Mckinley resolution
that was afterwards adopted by the
convention. Mckinley stock has
been dropping for some time, and
II the idea once gets accepted that
there are large num Der Of i'm
huential Republicans in Ohio who.
while pretending to be for him are
IN reality engaged in bargaining
with the other candidates for the
nomination, it will drop out of
sight and the name Of Mckinley
will not even 90 before the Repub-
lican National Convention.

Correspondence Of the Argus.
WASHINGTON, ID. c.,
May 81, 1895.
President Cleveland never had
closer or dearer friend than the
late Secretary Gresham. His grief
could not have been greater had his
brother died. He insisted that the
dead Secretary should have the
honor OF a military funeral-only
one other civilian, (the late John
a. Logan) was ever accorded that
honor-although Mrs. Gresham at
drst desired that the services should
be private. And although he had
himself not been well for some DAYS
before Secretary Gresham's death,
he decided at once that he and the
surviving members of the cabinet
would accompany the remains to
their last resting place, at Chicago.
which was an honor never before
accorded to dead official. While
the busybodies have already begun
to guess and suggest the name of
the next Secretary of State, it is
certain that the Presidents grief
has been to deep to give the matter
thought, and probable that all or
part of the thirty days allowed by
law will expire before the selection
is made. The Democratic party is
rich in material and President
Cleveland enjoys the deserved
reputation of being good Judge of
men so there is no occasion for
any worry about mistake being
made in the selection.

The report just issued by the de-
partment at Washington shows that
West Virginia is fourth in the list
of coal producing states of the
Union. There was produced in
this state about twice as much coal
during the past year us in the three
states Of Maryland, Indiana and
Kentucky combined. The value of
the coal output in West Virginia
exceeded 5000, 900 for the year.

ment
Il learned a great many other things
about the movement in Savannah" he
said. Il did not know before l arrived here
that the officers of the society are all
white men. This is not known to the col
ored people in the interior who suppose
that the whole thing is organized and con-
Quoted by negroes. 1 shall take care to
make this fact known. This movement
is very serious thing to the people of
the south. 1t is the beginning of an he
gdra. There are 100000 negroes in the
south to-day who. If the ships were ready
TO carry them, would pull up stakes and
set sail at once. If the movement contin-
ues to grow as there is every indication
that it will the whole laboring element
of the south will soon be demoralized and
every business interest will suffer. The
pre1udices of the negroes are being
worked upon. They are told that they
are unjustly treated here, that they will
never be allowed their rights, and that
the white people will always keep them
down. 1t is useless to argue with them.
Tell them the dangers OF Africa and they
will reply: Better to die on the shores
of Africa than to be lynched in America ,
This is very serious problem with many
phases, and the movement IS as yet only
in its infancy"

on the other side we are coming too"
shouted a woman in the crowd. From an
adjoining shed three cameras were trained
upon the ship and at the request of one
of the officers the crowd on board re-
manned quiet while the photographers
snapped their cameras. These photographs
will make valuable advertising matter
among the negroes in the interior who are
already well worked UP on the subject.
While many in the crowd shouted their
approval to the emigEants of the course
taken by them there were many more
who stood byi and discussed the move
ment in a doubtful manner. When spoken
to their reply was that this country was
good enough for them and that they
didn't want to go to Liberia or any other
country but were satisfied to stay right
here. There is no doubt that a large
portion Of the crowd which gathered on
the wharf could have been very easily
spared and there would be little regret if
they had all gotten aboard the Horsa and
gone off with her. II was remarked by
many who joined in the expression that
the vagabonds would not be the ones to
leave, but the hard working and saving
people who put by their money will fur
nish the emigrants

which the Migration Society is based.
They spent considerable money in Savan-
nah for household goods. tools and sup
plies of every character and some of them
are believed to have snug sums left. 1t is
safe to say that the majority of them,
however, have about exhausted their
means in preparing for the trip, and have
very little left with which to set them
selves up on the other side. There are
enough of them, however who have suf-

file up the gang plank. One of the col

plank, and as the emigrants passed him
they were required to give their names

was given him. a list of the names Of
the party had been furnished to the Gus

and checked off the names as they were
called. Saunders. the colored agent, was
in very happy humor, and made many
bright remarks for the edlication of the
crowd as the emigrants passed him. One
dark-looking damsel gave her name as
Snow.
That's good" said Saunders. They
are going to have snow all the way"

EXPECTED IN A FEW DAYS.
The Call for Bids for the Public
Buildings superstructure.

Buildings Superstructure.
The fact that here has been no adver-
tisement for bids for the construction of
the superstructure of the new public build
ing has led some to believe that there was
a hitch somewhere. as the present CON
tract, which was for the foundation and
basement story only, is rapidly nearing
completion.
The department has reported to In
spector j. j. hewitt, however, that the
drawings are not ready yet, but gave him
to understand that they would be sent
on very soon. Mr.. hewitt a few days ago
notified the department that the work
now being done by Messrs. Thomas Clark
& Sons of Chicago would be completed
about the middle of April.
Supt. Rcssiter thinks the work will be
completed within three weeks time. 1t
seems, however, that there has been some
little trouble in getting the Elberton stone
here on account of the bad weather which
has prevailed quite extensively through
out that section The iron work is all
completed and there remains now to be
done only a small portion of the stone
work, such as steps, facings and the mail
ing platform. and some of the brick work,
which goes along with it.
The chances are that the drawings will
be ready within a few days, when adver-
tisements for bids for the entire super
structure, exclusive, of course, of the in
terror finishing. will be published. The
probability is that the next contractor
who takes hold OF the work will put the

Comes Next.

Comes Next.
Fanny Rice viii begin her two nights
and matinee engagement tonight in
Nancy. There are few theater-goers who
do not know the sprightIy, pretty actress
and her catchy songs. That she is a IA
vorite goes without saying Nancy is fer
latest attraction. It tells the story Of the
bright little wife of a shoemaker who,
through the influence of a female ac-
quaintance, becomes tired of the hum
drum existence which her own humble
home provides, and she longs to see some
thing Of the glare and glitter of life, and
have fine clothes and luxurious surround
ings. Her husband, in order to satisfy
her desire to see just what such life
appears to be, sends her to deliver three
pairs Of shoes which brings her in turn
to the home of a wealthy stock broker, of
a great prima donna, and a visit to the
French ball. Nancy's adventures at these
places and the amusing situations to
which they lead with the specialties an
troduced, constitute the interest which
attaches to the piece while the moral is
that Nancy's experiences convinced her
that the sum total Of life does not consist
in fine dresses and gay companions, and
that true contentment and happiness is
to be found only in her own comfortable
httle home with her loving husband and
children.
Miss Rice's acting is as winsome and
artistic as ever, and her songs Just as
well sung.

A. r., NORTON Acquitted.
Found Not Guilty of the Charge of
Assault with Intent 10 Murder.

A. r. Norton was acquitted by a jury
in the superior court yesterday of the
charge of assault with intent to murder,
preferred by Florence Sullivan.
Sullivan and Norton were engaged in a
general fracas in the eastern part of the
city about / O'Clock last Christmas morn
ing, which resulted in Suhivan's being
badly cut, so that for a time it was feared
he would not live. Sullivan charged that
Norton got on top of him while he was
down on the ground, and while holding
him in this position, stabbed him with a
knife
Norton said that Sullivan and himself
with several others were engaged in a
general fracas at the time, but claimed
that If Sullivan was cut, il must have been
by some of the others in the party as he
had no knife on that occasion. The testi-
mony, while somewhat conflicting, was
rather in Norton's favor and he was &C
quilted.
