CAPITOL CHIT-CHAT. Harrisoa Seeking to Avoid Responsibility Cabinet Nearly Complete. Washington Feb'y 20, 1893. A specimen of disgruntled republican statesmanship is now being given the country by the administration in the manner in which it is dallying with the critical financial situation. In stead of taking some decided step towards "relief Mr. Harrison and Secretary Foster are simply doing nothing, being perfectly satisfied if they can stave off the the crisis until they have turned the govern ment over to the democrats, thinking thus to escape responsibility for any trouble that may then come. This is worse than cowardly; it is criminal. The people of this country are not idiots; thej' will know where to place the responsibility should the inaction of this administration result in anything like a financial panic, which heaven forbid. President elect Cleveland has now announced all of the members of his cabinet except the Attorney General and the Secretary of the Navy. He has not plea-ed all of the democrat? in Congress no President ever did, or ever will please all of his party-in making up a cabinet, but if the dissatisfaction i3 any greater than it has been in the dominant' party when every cabinet for twenty years past has been announced your cor respondent has failed to locate it. It must be remembered in consider ing the matter that Mr. Cleveland has introduced something entirely new in politics by announcing the members of his cabinet as fast as they are determined upon, thus giv ing the oppostion a chance to appear much greater than it really is, by reason of its being presented to the public in sections, as it were. The objection to Judge Gresham, which at first appeared 'to be very formid able is growing less now that its au thors Lave takeu time 'to think of the justice of giving the many thousand independent votes that were cast for Vii Cleveland representation in the cabin?!. There is no opposition to Carlisle as S?c, of the Treasury; BisseH as Postmaster General; Mor tou as Sec. of Agriculture, or La-mont-as Sec. of "War, and the little opposition that has been expressed to Hoke Smith for Sec. of Interior has mostly come from Western men who think a Western man wou'd have been better than a Georgian for that position. And not a single word has been uttered by anybody against the fitness of the gentlemen named for these positions, and after all is not that the principal object aimed at by every President in se lecting a cabinet? If Mr. Cleveland will fill the two remaining vacan cies with eld wheel horses of de mocracy your correspondent pre dicts that the cabinet as a whole will be cordially approved by ninety five per cent of the democratic party. Yice-Presidntjelect Stevenson will be iu Washington this week to re main until after the Inauguration. One man paid 8500 for oue hun dred sets in tht sLtnd which faces the reviewing htaad from which Mr. Cleveland vrili review the inaugural parade, which premises to be the largest ever seen. The treaty annexing Hawaii, sent to the Senate last week, has bten favorably reportod. It is probable, but not cejrjain that it will be rati fied at this session. The un certainty arises from the belief of some of the Senators on both sides that it should be left for the next session. Not a single vote was cast against the confirmation of the nomination of Judge Jackson to the Supreme Court. It is understood that demo cratic Senators were assured the va cancy made by his promotion would not be filled by Mr. Harrison. Senator Voorbeas is strongly in favor of the sundry civil appropria tion bill authorizing the Secretary of the treasury to issue 3-per cent five year bonds up to 50,000,000, when ever in his judgment it may be de sirable to do so, for the purpose of adding to the gold reserve. He thinks that the authority will never need to be exercised, because the mere fact that it exists will give sta bility and inspire confidence through out the world in our finances. The Senator says there is no connection between this amendment and the sil ver question, notwitLstauuojg the efforts made bv some to make it thus appear. The amendment, al ready adopted by the senate, will, it is believed, get through the house unless the opposition shall-talk it to death. The senate voted down the house amendment to the sundry civil ap propriation bill prohibiting the pay ment of expenses incurred for war rants, arrests or prosecutions under the laws relating to the election of members of congress. This matter will come up again when the bill gets in conference, but it is not believed that the democrats will be incliped to fight very stubbornly for the res toration of the amendment, because they believe to a man that the whole system of federal supervision of elections will be wiped out by the next Congress. There will be no reform at this session. The only result of the Pension discussion was some bad language and an attempt to exchange blows by two members on the floor of the House. May Our Departure Be Like His. Rev. Jeremiah Ingold was born September 25th, 1816 in Guilford county, N. G., died February 12th, 1893., aged 76 years, four months and seventeen days. After attend ing the private schools of his native county, he entered Mercersburg College Pa. from which he graduated about the vear 1842. In 1841 he was ordained a minister in the Re formed church and remained a mem ber of the classis of North Carolina until the time of his death. His first field of labor was with a congregation in Alexander county which he served four months when he moved to Rowan county, where he taught school and preached for ten yews In 1855 he located in Lincoln county and began his work in that part of the state. Since that time he has served, with short in tervale, the churches comprising the Hickory charge. In 1872 he moved to the town of Hickory and from that time to his death he was a resident of the place. He preached the first sermon ever delivered in the town, and organ ized and taught our first school. He established Corinth congregation, and has since been closely indentified with her best interests. In 1890, he rf signed, as associate pastor of this congregation, after having been in the active ministry nearly forty seven ytars. Since that time he has l.ved quietly at his home, awaiting as he afterwards said "the summons to come up higher." During the last two years of his life, he preached an occasional sermon. His last sermon was preached on the 27th of August 1892, when he spoke most touchingly of the humanity of Chist. On Lord's day, February 12th, just as the con gregation returned home from worship, peacefully and quietly without one struggle Dr. Ingoid "fell asleep in Jesus." So ended the earthly life of one of the oldest, mod mot useful ministers of North Caro lina classis. Of Lis long ministry extending over forty seven years, of his grtat usefulness iu the Church, and classis, of his ability ap a preacher, a true expounder of the word; cf him as a theologian; ot his exalted Chistian character I will not permit myself to speak, but will leave that to one better fitted to the delicate task. HU life wai giand commentary on the Chistian religion: His death the peaceful falling a'sleep in Christ J.L.M. STATE LEGISLATURE. EPITOME OF ITS MOST IMPORTANT PROCEEDINGS.
