Growlers and chronic complainants ' are found in every community. It is as natural for some men to complain, , ns it is for the wind to blow in JPylo canyon, and tho cnuse is often of "no more consequence. Eeelcfi mill is whooping things up.

Seventeen years ago today Prof. Morso the inventor of the olcclro-tcl-egraph died. It is strange to note the good this grand old man has dono for humanity.

Tho ipirit of advanco animates his every editorial sentence. Our politics need probing. Men with dauntless energy are needed. With tho admission of tho now ' states this fall begins a now area of national prosperity, and political work t ings. Tho territories to become sisters and joint heirs with us, aro rich in agricultural and mineral properties. Lying untouched within in their bord ers aro vast and valuable tracts that with tho advantages conceded by 4 statehood will soon bo converted into 'happy homes, and centers of trade. It , is title to predict a prosperous era for our government now. (Jrndually tho old play will bo changed until tho western stars will stand to tho front rank in grand majesty. Only a few years ago, these wild wicrd wastes were thought worthless. DiH'uruiit now. Tho tratlsmen and artisans of eiviliza- jjtion have touched tho wilderness, and I full Hedged states step into tho Union "as the result. V, F. Maker can probably bo consult ed now, as to the merit of Unit com plicated question that has been tho coustimerof much editorial ink lately, 'Is marriage a failure?" Perhaps mar- jruigo is not ho mueli a failure as aro "ninny of the ones who indulge in tho larticles of matrimony. It is a good 'deal liken mushroom bed, if it rains tho crop is good, if it is dry the crop fails If every thing goes along smoothly marriage is a wueees-s, if there is to many icows tu milk, too ninny dresses to buy, too many boys to keep straight, too many girls to get ready for market; the wood is gotten when it rains, the man comes home at midnight mid has forgotten tho button hook that was his 'mission to town, and the cat kills the (canary bird, usually marriage is a fail tine. Try it any way. It aint poison.

Hand in hand this plended march of material progress, wo should have an intelligent congress and tho legislatures of sovereign states Veep step witli its system of popular education; great universities of learn ing, endowed from a surplus treasury and underneath a system tho present system of nou-suctarian, free common public schools, should bo so per muuciitly adjusted that upon thorn as ,i foundation could be erected the im perishable superstructure of n free and ind enduring republic," l'ixley itrikea tho koy nolo here. When our An Intcrcstliif; Letter From Our Itcgu lar CorrcKinnIciit. Washington, March 22, 1889. Editor Oiikoon Scout: Ko reader of Eugene Schuyler's American Diplomacy was surprised when the President this week with drew his name for First Assistant Sec retary of State, though the excuse wns made that the action was made by Mr. Schuyler himself, who had just found time to cabin his regrets and declina tion. Mr. Schuyler has tlitin experi enced a striking d Miioiistratioii of the truth of the adage that he who laughs ! laughs best. A number of years ago, j wnen lie occupied n diplomatic posi tion, Eugene wrote ugly tilings about the Minister to France, Mr. Wash burn?, as well as several other Ameri can polilcians. The work was thorough ly snobbish and self siillicipnt and though it was rnon forgotten, it was widely cursed. It is oven stated that Mr. Hlaine last year placed Schuyler's name on tno list ol "the forgiven," though reluctantly. Put there were dozens of other lists on which Mr. Schuyler's cognomen was black-mark ed, and among these tho private lists pertaining to Senators Sherman. Far- well and Edmunds. All they wanted was a chance to reject tho New Yorker with the unruly tongue, and practical ly they have had there" revenge, late but sweet. iuw York is certainly rowing her share of tho appointments, as well as the shares properly belonging to every one else. It is not yet known wether or not Whitelaw Kehl will accept the .French mission, but wether lie does or not tho position has thus first been offered to Sow York. It is stated that in the event of his refusal, Senator Evarts will resign and take the Fnglish mission, leaving tiio way clear for Tom Piatt to enter the Senate. Another rumor is to tho effect that in the fail tiro of such n deal, Ohauncey Dcpow will go to England. No one appears to know exactly how wealthy Mr. Dcpow is. He may bo worth $10,000,- 000 for all any one knows to the con trary.. His railroad duties makes him the hardest worked mail in New York. lie is in tho autumn of lifo, What would bo more pleasant than tho high est diplomatic, position in the gift of tho counti v. Tho thrifty spirit of Fred Grant (of Now York, of course) was exhibtcd on Wednesday by his success in inducing the President to appoint him Minister to Austria. Fred is lucky in securing more than ho originally asked. In January he announced himself as n candidate for the Chinese, mission, ami as no ono could givo any grounds for tho asking, it was taken as a playful evidence of his pungent humor. Tho majority of the people were simply as tounded by his appointment to the Aurtriau mission. When General Grant died tho rep utation of his magnificent military achievements, tho fame of his privnto worth and personal honor, passed into tho sacred keeping of good men every where. Honors were thick upon him. Tho lion did not siro lino cubs, howev er, and tnero is no more reason lor asking the American people to admire Fred Grant than thoio would bo for asking them to idolize Fred Jones, or Frod Smith, or any other impudent and addle patcd son of a good father. This country is supposed to have no royal family. Fred (irant reared in an nl inosphero of adulation, used to seeing his father worshiped, and nover when a child broken of the foul habit of taking everything he could get and crying for more, grew up to be the morit astounding niig. the most im pudent beggar and the most selfish bigot, that it has ever been my bad fortune to see. And now ho has been appointed to the Austrian mission, while other men, having tho claim of faithful party service and high ability, must step aside, Payard sent to tho same court Kiley, in tho beginning of his adminstration of the State Depart ment; limine leads oil with Grant. It is stated that President Harrison could not well resist the pressure with out showing personal feeling, Fred Grant having been n supporter of Greshnm. John O. Now's aeeeptanco of tho no sition of Consul General at London was natural, but his disappointment at failing to secure tho Austrain appoint ment was keen. Air. ew has plenty of money and his wife especially desi red the social prestige which the Aus trian appointment would confer, and which the Consulship at London could not afford. His Republican services mad1' his request a reasonable one. Hut Grant must bo first served, Inas much as the London office is twice ns profitable in point of inconio, it would seem that Mr. New could have induced Fred to trade. There is no telling, however, what a thrifty fellow like Fred may bo nblo to make in Austria. Sonio of the disappointed ollteo seekers havo gone homo disgusted, but new arrivals atone for their loss, nnd Washington hotel keepers are happy, for tho avorago otllce-seckor is nblo to pav his way.
