COL. MAC ARTHUR.
Friend OF Hawaii and Budget Editor
Dead.

Col. Charles l.. Macarthur, the vete-
ran editor of The Troy Northern
Budget of Troy. n. Y, died at his home
in that city October u. 1898. He enter
ed the newspaper field at the age of
Il, editing weekly paper at Carthage.
Jefferson County, n. Y. The venture
was not a successful one and he went
west where he was connected with the
leading papers in Chicago, Milwaukee.
st. Louis and other of the large cities
west Of the Mississippi river.
In 1S47. Col. Macarthur went to
Troy and became part owner of the
Daily Budget which was at that time
the leading Democratic organ of North
ern New York. During the slavery
agitation the Budget co-operated with
the Free Soil wing of the Democratic
party and its course had much TO do
with the creation and growth of the
Republican party. With the ex-
ception of an interval of eight
years he was the editor and part or
sole proprietor of the Troy Northern
Budget for more than half a century.
Col. Macarthur served through the
Civil war with great honor and was
three times promoted for faithful and
meritorious service.
Col. Macarthur has visited the Ha-
waiian Islands and was always a friend
to annexation. His paper, the Troy
Northern Budget was one of the
strongest advocates of the cause and
the people of Hawaii can in some
measure attribute its final accomplish
ment to the efforts of that paper in its
behalf.

DEVELOPING A CONSPIRACY.

| SO far as the controversy between Hon.
~. w. Bailey and Hon. Benton McMillin
| is confined to personal issue between
| those gentlemen II can we'll be left 10 the
! two combatants. The animus OF Mr.. Nc
Millin, who was defeated by MIR. Bailey
for the democratic leadership of the house,
is SO apparently the result of dIsappolnt-
ment, sometimes called ''soreheadedness "
that his attacks upon the Texas congress-
man are hardly worthy of notice, even
from Mr.. Bailey himself.
The point OF general interest. however.
is found in the prominence which is given
by ceratin correspondents and journals to
the McMillin side OF the controversy. 1t
is being assumed that a revolt OF large
| proportions is brewing against MIR. Dailey's
leadership OF the house democracy, and
Mr.. McMillin's ranking jealousy and
chagTln and disappointment are Doing
magnfled by the agencies mentioned as
evidences of growing dissatisfaction
within the democratic congressional ranks
with the Texans leadership.
1t only needs to put this and that to-
gcther TO appreciate the motive back of
this attack upon MIR. Bailey. The Eastern
democrats. other than comparatively
small band, have not been in sympathy
with the Chicago demooratic platform of
1896. Under existing sentiment and con-
dNions in, the Eastern States the democrats
there do not hope TO carry those States
upon the issues raised by the Chicago
platform. 1t Is question OF the sacri-
flee of the hope Of office for principles
sake and they hesitate In consequence
he cry has been raised that new issues
must be substituted for these OF 1896 ono
arrogant journal would have the demo-
cratic party reject the platform of 1886
and adept ore suggested by the paper in
question, and in seeking TO accomplish its
onds it does not hesitate to begin gu open
attack uron the men who would no, only
DC mcst likely to reject It's proposition
With seorn. but who would be the most
the now recognized tenets OF democratic
faith.
Mr., Bailey is the strongest and the most
prominent champion In the lower house
OF congress Of the Chicago platform. He
