Hun Samuel Sullivan Cox, more wicielv
known perhaps as "Suntet" Cox, the pop
ular cemocratij representative front New
York, is in Washington. He has just re
turned from an extended tour of the four
new state which he was so influential in
making hr parsing the cmnibus enabling
a:t through the last Congress. He is en
thusiastic in his praise of the people ai.d
p.-ospects of the yew states. He sat she
tilked no politics while out there,but har-
i ig an old time habit of keeping his eves
M.d ears wide open his observations lead
him to believe that Washington will cer
tainly go democraticand if the opinions of
well informed people count for anvthing
so will Montana.
The telegaph companies so far have
the best of the verv interesting fight which
is progressing between them and th
Government represented bv the Postmas
ter General, who b bT law authorized to
set the price to be paid for official messa
ges. The old contract being suspended
the telegraph companies are compelling
the Government officials to pay cash for
all their messages, and at transient rates
too. The Postmaster General wants them
to accept a rate of or.e mill per word, but
the telegraph companies sar it is not
enough.
The administration is.so to peak,on the
wing just now, and little is being dane in
any of the departments outside of routine
business. The several secretaries flit In
and out of town in a sort of Jack'o'lantern
style that is somewhat bewildering to the
fellow who tries to keep track of the.n.
As a result of an investigation, the town
, is talking about what a veritable "death
trap ' the building occupied by the Govern
ment printing office is ; it is badly ventil
ated, its sewerage is something awful to
think about, and it has not one-fourth of
the fire escapes needed for the large nun
ei t employees. Notwithstanding all
these drawbacks the Public printer says
that more than half of his time is taken up
in hearing applications from'men and wo
men who are willing to take the chances
of working in this dangerous building.
Secretary Noble has surprised a good
many people here, notably the officials in
the Pension office, by ordering the com
mission engaged in the investigation of the
re-rating of pensions to continue that in
vestigation. He w as not satisfied with the
preliminary report made covering two
months, December iSSS and May tilSo.and
wants a thorough Investigation for a peri
od of twelve months. The secretary re
fused to give out the preliminary report
but promises that the entire report shall be
given to the press as soon as it is complet
ed. It is stated here that ex-Attorney Gen
eral Garland has been engaged by the
Northern Pacific Railroad to look after
. their legal Interests In this city at a salary
of $25,000 a year.
Frank Hatton is going in tooth and nail
in his fight on the civil service law. His
largest and most startling charge Is that
copies of the questions to be asked at ex-
aminatiens in this city have been furnish
ed before hand to such applicants as were
willing to pay the price asked for them.
This is the most serious charge yet made
against this humbug, and If Hatton can
prove it, it will go far towards getting the
absurd law repealed.
The Navy department has appointed a
court of inquiry to investigate the recent
accident ts the cruiser "Boston." It seems
about time that something was done to
make the officers of the Navy exercises a
little more care In handling the few war
vessels we have. Hardly a week passes
that the newspapers are not called upon
to chronicle some accident, that, from the
standpoint of a "land lubber," might have
been avoided.
There Is no truth In the report sent out
from Washington that the French cook
recently discharged from the White House
was to bring suit against President Harri
son for wages during the summer. It has
always been customary to dismiss the
French cook at '.he White House during
the summer months when no entertaining
isdone.and the same course wes followed
this year.
The people of the country are just be
ginning to realire the scope of the alien
contract labor law, consequently the treas
ury department is being flooded with com
plaints from all sections of the country
atking Investigations of alleged violations
of this law.
Indian Commissioner Morgan has Issued
a circular to Inspectors In the Indian ser
vice Instructing them to see that Indian
traders are men of good character. If
these traders are at present men of good
character many of them have been sadly
maligned.
