let it BE DeArmOnd.

In the organization of the politi
cal forces of the new congress it is
suggested that Mr.. DeArmond of
Missouri, be made the leader OF the
democratic wing, The suggestion
is a good one. The Missourian is
the man for the place. He is pol.
ished, serene and forceful. He is
magnetic and masterful. He is a
born leader of men, and is not given
to the making of mistakes. MIR.
Bailey of Texas, is good man, and
a strong one, but his record during
the war session of the present con-
gress brought out the fact that he
is imbued with an element OF timid-
ity and lack of virile progression
which disqualify him for leadership.
Mr.. DeArmond possesses all the
necessary qualifications, and he is
the man who should BE- honored
with the position.-Miss Valley

True And To the Point.

A silly and demoralizing practice
is that Of bidding for the county
printing. The country publishers
themselves are often responsible for
this practice. La order to keep the
other fellow from getting the work,
they offer to do it for less than the
legal rate. If rates can be thus cut
once, the officers argue, they can be
cut again and each time thereafter
bids are asked. If bids are asked
on doing certain printing, why
should they not be asked for hold
ing Office? Let the law be amended
to permit the governor to advertise
each year for persons to fill the va
rious offices of the state. Let the

asking bids on publishing county

The bill prepared Ivy General Miles

been introduced in congress, but that

Hull bill, repaired largely under the
direction OF Secretary Alger, is backed
by the administration and by the re-

unless plans are changed, to be put
through the House before the Christ
mas recess, The democrats are opposed
to keeping the volunteers in service un-
til the Army Reorganization Bill be-
comes a law, as proposed by the admin
istration, tut their protests will not, it
is feared, change the program, because
the desire to get the volunteers mus

What is the use of making a better

Ans.-As there is no difference in the

How can you get the public to know

RELIEF AT LAST STARTED.
Charleston Sails to the Relief Of
Admiral DsWsy's Fleet in the
Philippines.

Vallejo, Cal, May 18.-The expedi-
tion for the relief of admiral Dewey
which has been preparing for two weeks
is at last off. The United States cruiser
Charleston this morning sailed for
Manila She carried large amount
of ammunition, particularly heavy pro-
jectiles for the big guns Of Dewey's
fleet. Work is being pushed with all
possible speed on the big transports
which are to carry the troops. The
City of Pekin is nearly ready for the
first embarkation. Stevedores have
been busy all day loading her with
ammunition and provisions, while
big gang Of carpenters have been pre-
pairing the quarters for the troops. It
is believed that the Pekin will be able
to sail on Saturday 1t will require
three weeks for her to reach Manila.
The other transports are being got
ready. The troops are expected to
arrive from the east tomorrow.

The OREGON IS SAFE,
BattIsship and Consots Believed to
Have Joined Simpsons Fleet
Near Cuba.

Owing to the new policy of silence
which forbids officers of the govern
ment from discussing war matters or
the whereabouts of the warships it is
impossible to definitely learn the loca-
tion of the oregon. However. it is
known that some news of great impor-
tance reached the navy department
this morning and caused the officials
there great relief, It was repoted that
the dispatch contained news of the safe
arrival of the Oregon and her union
with Sampson's feet. There has been
no news received from her since she
left Bahia, Brazil, last week, but il she
has encountered no mishap she should
with her consorts, the Marietta and the
Buffalo, formerly the Niehteroy, be
well up toward Cuba. The rumor that
she has arrived at the rendezvous with
Simpsons feet is generally credited
here. The department officials would
neither affirm nor deny the report.
Secretary Long said Wednesday
afternoon: 1T can be said positively
and officially that the Oregon is safe,
but it cannot be properly made known

DEWEY IN NEED Of HELP.
Men and Ships Must be Sent al
Once or America Will Lose the
Fruits Of Dswsy's Victory.

A Hong Kong special says: Consul
Wildman returned from Kowloon bay
where he took the insurgent leader,
Gen. Aguinaldo, and his cabinet on the
McCulloch. Arrangements have been
made for the insurgents to storm
Manila. The dispatch adds it is abso-
lutely necessary that more American
warships and strong military force be
sent to Deweys aid at once.
The steamer Esmeralda, which has
just arrived from Manila with 400 re-
fugees, chiefly Chinese, reports that the
United States cruisers Concord and
Boston are gong to Iloilo where they
expect to accept a capitulation and to
recapture the American ship Saranak
with cargo Of coal. The blockade
of Manila is extremely rigid and several
foreign ships have been refused ad-
mittance. The rebels are useless as
allies to Admiral Dewey. They are ut
terly disunited, quite one-half of them
being in favor of Spain. The Calvite
arsenal we found empty, and MIGUEL,
chief of artillery for Spain, committed
suicide because he discovered that am
munition was nonresident. Captain
General Augusti is trying to conciliate
the rebels and has authorized the es-
tablishment of native councils. Pending
the arrival of troops from the United
States the Americans have deferred
hostilities ashore.
A London Times special from Hong
Kong says: 'sAuginal Do and the
principal leaders of the recent rising
left today in the United States dispatch
boat McCulloch for Cavite. They will
attempt to persuade the natives to at
tack Manila in few days. They pro-
missed Dewey to regulate their conduct
in accordance with the principles of
humanity.
..The Americans are evidently
anxious to complete their conquest
before the arrival of troops from San
Francisco, and British residents now
take more hopeful view, as famine
is no longer feared. As means of keep
ing the natives loyal and inducing them
to refrain from assisting the Americans
the governor general instituted consul
tation assembly, composed of fifteen
members of mixed and native blood. "
The London Standards Hong Kong
special says: cit is expected, owing to
the strict blockade and famine resulting
from it, that Manila will soon be COM
PEELED to capitulate to the American
blockading squadron under Dewey"

SECOND ARGUS-LEADER.
A Candidate for a Commission in
TomIinson's Gang Of Unserupu-
Ious Liars.

The following editorial article in q
recent number of the Sisseten Inter-
Empire, an obscure weekly published
in Roberts county, is fair sample Of
the rot which is just now emanating
from the Republican party organs Of
the state:
Governor Andy Lee is using the
present war situation to good ad-
vantage in bestowing plums upon
those of the faithful. Every mill
tary appointment made by his ex
cellency so far has been entirely
from the Populist side of the house.
The governor has not selected
these officers upon the broad prin-
ciple of peculiar fitness but rather
from the narrow standpoint of par
tisan bias. This is certainly most
unbecoming the dignity of his po-
sition and indicates that the gov
ernor is for party first and country
second.
The truth is that of the forty-six
commissioned officers in the regiment
thirty-six are Republicans. Sheafe,
Democrat, was displaced by Frost, who,
if regular soldier has any politics.
was of the Republican persuasion.
Lieutenant Colonel Fuller, q Silver
Democrat, was unable to pass the ex-
animation. He was succeeded by Lee
Slower Of Watertown. Lee is Repub-
lican politician and recently received q
commission as receiver of the Water
town land office If the governor had
been disposed to ply. politics here was
q good place to commence. Charley
Howard, another Republican politician,
was promoted from captaincy and
given majors straps. There are some
Populists holding commissions, but
they are good men. They were put in
because they were good men, for the
same reason that Slower and Howard
were promoted.
The Republican papers who talk
about the governor having made his
regimental appointments for political
reasons had better close their untruth'
full drivel and take notice of Presiden,
McKinley's military appointments -
