ASnopii of tho World's ki. "Washington, Dec. 3. Edmunds ex presses himself foicibly on tho featuro of iuu umi servico roiorm sysicin wnicu ex cludes from its protection chief clerks, deputy auditors aud comptrollers, heads of bureaus and others whoso salaries ex ceed $1,00 per year. Ho says tho Tcr sons holding these posiliqns were gener ally appointed by reason of their peculiar fitness, and if thero is any virtue at all in the system, there is even greater rea son why these should be retainod than clerks aud others of lower grades. It is barely possible that it may mako somo difference with tho senator whoso ox is being gored. No one can blame tho Democrats for wanting all those posi tion?. Probably there is no difference worth mentioning in the quality of hu man nature in both parties, and if the Uepublicans had been howling on the outside as long as the Democrats have, their appetite would be just as keen. It may be sat down as a fact that tho Dem ocrats Will get all of the offices they can, and too great zeal in the interpretation and enforcement of tho law in this re spect will greatly diminish the popular ly among tho hungry masses of those who are responsible for such a policy. Mr. Hendricks is not afraid to speak up. If he had his way ho would let down the bars and permit the faithful flock to graze in the entire pasture. T32 OABINnT BUSINESS. Washington, Dec. 3. A gentleman just returned from New York, who, while thero conversed with some of the promi nent leaders of the Democratic party, expresses his opinion that no cabinet selections have been finally determined upon, or that any offers of oabinet port folios will be mado until January or early in February. Mr. Cleveland's own movements are not absolutely certain. The prevailing oxprcssion was that he would not come to Washington until some weeks before inauguration .say tho 15th of February. WHAT LINCOLN SAYS. Mattook, 111., Dec. 3. On the occasion of becretary Lincoln s visit to this city, October 22. he was asked by a prominent citizen the cause of President Arthur's lukowarmness in the late campaign, to which he leplied that the president had heard lrom a source winch he considered reliable that before the holding of the Republican convention at Chicago, Mr. Bluino had said, in conversation with others, that whether he got tho nomina tion or not he would see that Arthur was defeatf-d. A GOOD THING. Washington, D. C, Dec. 3. Speaker Carlisle has just disposed of n nice bit of patronage. The cigar stand just at the entrance to the house of representatives has been run by Frank Scott over since tho timoof Speaker Kerr, of Indiana. Scott died somo time ago, aud Mr. Car lisle has named Thomas Green, of Cov ington, as his successor. Besides selling cigars, the holder of the stand is allowed to act as agent of the Baltimore and Po tomao Hail road and supply theater tick ets. Tho item will gam in importance when it is added that this little stand is a better thing financially than the St. Louis postoffice. The ho'lder is good for $4,000 or more net profits annually.

Tho following nominations were made: Hugh McCul longh, of Maryland, secretary of the treasury; Frank Hatton, of Iowa, post master general; General Schuyler Crosby, of New York, first assistant postmaster general: James Harlan, of Iowa, presid ing judge court of commissioners for Alabama claims; Wm.

Ho managed to loosen his hands and knocked down one of his gaardswith the handcuffs, and managed to escape before the other guard knew what had happened. He is now in the mountains. WILL ACOEPI THE OLT. PrrrsBOco, Dec. 3. Workmen employ ed in the American Iron Works of Jones & Laughlin, between 800 and 1,000 in number, who have received notice of a reduction of 10 per cent, in wage3, to take effect next Monday, have- decided to accept tho same. Laborers at tho Crescent Steel Works, who wero reduced from $L25 to 1.00 per day, have also been accepted. Unless trade improves within the next fortnight it is probablo a general suspension will be ordered by Carnegie Bros, in their numerous mills and stono quarries. This will throw 0,030 mpn out of employment. LAND THIEVES. Omaha, Dec. 3. The United States grand jury has returned fifteen indict ments against parties for fraud in con nection with the sale of Otoe Indian reservation lands. Forty thousand acres were sold in December, 1833, at auction. When theso lands wero struck off bids were lowered on tho books, differing ma terially from actual bids. Certain quar ter sections, which wore bid in at 15 aud 18 per acre, were bookod at 10 and 12 in the interest of a land ring com posed of a number of well-known men. DISAPPBOVES. Capetown, Dec 3.

During the month of September and October, Assistant Engineer Von Geldern and party on tho Tom Morris, made sur veys off Fort Stevens, with a view to lo cating a new wharf at that point, which work was the real beginning of the work of improving the bar. The conclusions arrived at were, in sub stance, that the wharf would be of more advantage if located several hundred feet eastward from its present site. Here arises a difficulty. In 1852 was located what is known as the Kindred donation land claim; this land lay contiguous to the military reservation, extending from a point below Point Adams, around the psnnisula, and eastward of Fort Stevens. Since 1852 the action of the water has built up considerable of a spit nearly fifty-two acres which lies partly in front of the grant made and which is now owned by J. F. Kindred. The title to it is in dispute and thus delays the work. It is thought by those who are conversant with the matter that tho government will ?ay Mr. .Kindred a stipulated sum for the arritory in dispute and tarns tnd the matter. . , STATE Aa'D TEBBITOBUL SETTS. j Turkeys sold for 40 cents per pound en I the Sound Thanksgiving week. The grading force of tho N. P. 11. R. is working within tho precincts of Yakima city. Mrs. Frank, of Neman river, Pr.oific county, made oath that her husband was insane. A jury acquitted him.

" Tho Idaho, on her last trip from Alas kan ports, unloaded at Port Townsend 100 tons of cuano, 1)0,000 Gallons herrinrr uil, a lot of furs, nnd several barrels of salted herring, and some 12,000 in treas ure. The farmers of upper Chehalis county complain of hard times, thero being no sale for grain or other farm produce. There aro several thousand bushels of grain now stored In tho barns waiting lor buyers. A largo quantity of venison is baing brought to market in Boise City. Some of it has been sold as low as two conts a pound. Much of it is bsing shippad to Utah from stations along the railroad, notwithstanding that it is unlawful to send it out of tho territory. There are only four Democratic coun ties in Washington territory Mason, Clalam, Skamania and YaLima. Tho counties east of tho mountains polled 20,001 votes, while thoso west, includiu" Clarke and Cowlitz, polled 23,232, Tho proportion of tho Republican majority is even stronger west of the mountains. Orders have been received at head quarters of the O. P. at Yaquina to erect a largo car shop, extend the docks several hundred feet, and to erect a hotel at or near the docks all of which will be un dertaken as soon as tracklaying i3 fin ished between that city und Corvallis. Everything indicate a bns3 winter on tho bay. No snow has fallen on the Wenachoe mountain summit so far this season. Tbo altitude of the summit is nearly 5,000 feet on tho pack-trail route, and the sea son is a month lato for snow thereat, tucreon anu tuereauout. ue deer still browse among the laurel aud tho berga mot with which Wenatcheo range is cov ered; their venison is well fatted nnd per fumed. Many sheep are to be wintered in southern Idaho, near the railroad this winter, in order that tho wool may be shipped next summer with tho least pos sible expense. The wool interest of this territory has grown immensely within the last few years, nnd men prominently in terested in the industry of raising sheep here will introduce soveral.new varieties of fine wool producers. Bishop Wiuweidy, the old Yakima In dian seer, says: 'Thi.s winter will bo soft, mild and sickly. Too much fog, too lit tle rain, no snow; cold all summer no cold for winter; the gray squirrel and deer stay in the mountain; the moon is gono south; the sun has gono north, the sky is on fire in the west, and the air is full of blue smoke in the east." Win weidy know as much about the weather as any Indian, perhaps. John P. Bojorolt, formerly of Carroll's Point. W. T., fell under a train on the Canadian Pacific and had both loss and ouo arm cut off last week. His wife received a dispatch Monday night of his death. He and his wife had not lived to gether for some time. He is tho man who went off about a year ago and re ported that he had been drowned near Rainier, shaved himself up and stopped away nearly one year and then came oacK. The Yakima Indians thought thev could improve on tho work of the North em Pacific engineers, and nfler the stakes wero driven by tho engineers some of them came along, pulled up the stakes on ino prairie, anu set tnom over m tuo wagon road, at tho samo time remarking, "That road had been traveled a good many years, and we guess it will do for tho railroad." But theengiueers didn't think so, and the grade wa3 built as located. Captain Willoughby of Quiuault reser vation, is busily engaged in cleaning tho ground and perfecting arrangements for the erection of tho new reservation school building and agent's quarters upon the now and desirable location recently chos en for that purpose bv the government. Tho new school will be seven miles nearer tho base of supplies nnd shipping point used by tho reservation than at present occupied, and also far superior to it in evorj other respect. The building of tho railroad branch that is to connect Boise oity with tho Short Lino has been like all other enter prises of the country, a good deal retard ed by tho depression in business; but there has been no suspension in tho work of grading, which is still going on with fair propress. It i3 somewhat uncertain at what time the read will be completed, bat enough is known to warrant the statement thnt the cars will bo running into Boise City beforo tho close of the coming year.

Tho suit is brought to compel Booth, who is the assign eo'of ouo Welch, to convey to the plaintiff the tide land in front of block 145 in tho city of AJOria. Wjoims aconveyanco of tho property from tho state board, upon tho representation that ho was entitled to it as owner of the bank land adjoining. Shively alleges that he wa3 the owner of tho bank land and that Welch obtained his title through misrepresentation. Tho question is, whether the court will re view the action of the state board in granting the land, and, if so, how far. The demurrer was argued and submit-d.Orgonin4.
