Benjamin Harrison will be inaugurated as President of th: United States on next Monday. Preparations are being made to hays & very grand inaugeral. ere A petition is on foot to increase the salary of the president to seven ty-five thousand dollars a year, and that of the vice-president to twenty- five thousand. The cabinet officers are also looking out ‘for No. 1 and it is proposed to advance them to twenty thousand dollars. The re publicans know how to reduce the surplus. By prearrangement, the bill for the admission of the two Dakotas, ‘Washington and Montana was sign- ed on Washington's birthday, and the pen employed by the president in affixing his signature, was made from the quill of a Dakota eagle There is a picturesque blending of materialism and sentiment in th: American character, and President Cleveland is one of its truest types. Senator Joe Blackburn pulled senator Chandler's ear in the com- mittee room one day last week fer calling him a “slave driver.” Chan- dler whined like a whipped puppy and made no resistance whatever, but called on his colleagues to pro- fect him. After roundly abusing- him Blackburn left the committe: room. Senator Vest with his usna! terseness obseryed that Blackbur: and Chandler ought to be both hap- py. as theincident would result in the re-election of both of them, The Kentucky legislature, he said, wou'd re-elect Blackburn for pulling Chan dler’s ear, and the New Hampshire legislature would re-elect Chandler beeause his ear was pulled. ORGANIZE. The convention of demceratic rep- resentatives from various counties in the state, which met in St. Louis last Friday, provided for a thorough organization of the party by school districts throughout the state, for the organization of clubs in every county and for the calling of a state convention of club delegates for the formation of a state league.

Washington, Feb. 24, 1889.—The chances are that the Okiahoma_ bill | 1x done up for the present s The Missouri senators are working earnestly in the interest of the bill, but the republican eau- cus has practical'y decided that it must be laid aside. Vest worked so earnestly with the committee on the territories that the bill was reported back without an amendment very promptly. Mr. Platt, of Connecticut, chairman of committee, is opposea to the bill, and consquently Mr. Cul lom was instructed to report the bill back and take charge of it in the senate. Vest requested Cullom to call up the bill the day following, and Cullom declined with some pre- text or other to promise to do so the foliowing day. Next day he declined again, and finally when Vest was pressing him to call up the measure Cullcm admitted that he was handi- capped by the republican caucus. He admitted that the caucus had agreed to push the Hoar southern election investigation resolutien in preference to everything else. The demceratic senators cannot accept the Hoar resolution, and consequent- ly will have to fight it to the of the session. This will have the effect of postponing the consideration of the Oklahoma measure until the expira- tiou of the present session of con- gress. But aside from this the chances are that the bill could not | pass the senate, no matter how ably advocated.

Blackburn Pulls Chandler's Ears. Washington, Feb. 23.—A quarre between Sena Blackburn and Chandler grew out of disagreements in the committee on Indian trader ships. Chandler called Blackburn : slave driver, whereat Blackburn told Chandler that his diminutive size alone saved him from chastise ment, and he would only pull his ears, which he did. The other mem bers then separated them. ws Convict Testimony Rebuked. Boonvilie, Mo., Feb. 21.—The cir cuit court of this county met on Tuesday morning Hon. E. R. Ed- wards presiding. The state against A. M. Cole, charged with burglary and larceny, has occupied the atten- tion of the court for the past two days. Cole isa farmer, residing in the southern part of thecounty. The case has attracted wide-spread inter- est. One of the principal witnesses relied upon by the state to secure the conviction was a negro, Robert Clay, who upon the recommendation of the attorneys prosecuting the case was pardoned on Monday last to testify in this’ case. Clay was serving a four years’ sentence and one year of his term had expired when he was pardoned to become a witness in this case. The state was represented by the prosecuting-at- torneys and Cosgrave and Johnson. The defence was conducted by Sen- ator Hazell, Draffen and Williams. The jury refused to believe the testi- mony ofthe pardoned convict and returned a verdict of not guilty this morning. Last Tuesday's election in the fourth district resulted in the elec- tion of Col. R. P. C. Wilson, demo- crat, tocongress. The republicans made every effort to defeat him and it is said squandered a hundred thousand dollars. The Senate has just raised the salary of the President's private Secretary to $5,000 a year.
