Minneapolis Journal. The first sign of many a thing go ing to the dogs is its becoming a bone of contention. Zero comes from an Arabic word signifying nothing. This doesn't do it justice. If it comes to that it's worse than nothing Since the present administration cleaned out . the Treasury, why shouldn't the next turn in and clean out the rest of the offices ? It indirectly revives memories of the late hign tariff unpleasantness, that the scarcity of oysters must per force lessen the amount of raw ma terial entereeL One of the disadvantages of sleigh ing is that the hand must be held out in the cold to drive. Being so long in this position is perhaps what makes it so painful . to put it in the pocket after coming back to the liv ery stable man. What, in fact, have the Kansas Democrats got out of the fusion ? They have pulled a lot of Populist chestnuts out of the fire, and they have weakened their own organiza tion. "We want nothing more to do with your crowd", says the Hon. Jerry Simpson. Mr. Simpson, can be assured that the dislike is mutual. "Two years from now", cries the philosopher of Medicine Lodge, "we will lick both the old parties". Well, Jerry, just wait and see who will be the licker and who the lickee. Your sweet little party started as a fool and seems resolved to end as a scoun drel, and an unsuccessful scoun drel at that. Among the most conspicueus of the Senators whose terms expire with the present Congress are -Eugene Hale, of Maine, and George Gray, of Delaware,both of whom were re-elected Tuesday. Senator Hale, . though still on the sunny side of sixty, is getting to be one of the seniors at Washington. He had been twelve years in the. House of Representatives when he was elected to .the Senate, in 1 S81, to succeed Hannibal Ham lin, this being his second re-election. Mr. Gray first came to the Senate eight years ago, when Mr. Bayard be came Secretary of State, and two years later was re-elected for the full term, so that this is the third time the Delaware Legislature has shown its good judgment by electing him. He is one of the soundest lawyers and clearest-headed statesmen in the Senate, and, though still one of the iuniors, there is no one whose judge ment carries more weight. Senators Cockrell, of Missouri, and Bate, of lennessee, both Democrats, and Davis.of Minnesota, and Stockbridge, of Michigan, Republicans, have also secured their re-election. The death of Rutherford B. Hayes was sudden and unlooked for, vet it will cause no shock, for Mr. Hayes I aacl already passed out ot public re- membrance. lie was the only sur viving ex-President of the United States, with the exception of Mr. Cleveland, who has been recalled to office; but he recognized, when he had served his term, that his official career was ended. And this was not from any fault of his. While not a great man, he was cleaD, honest, pa triotic and capable; he surrounded himself with able men and strove to make his administration honorable. Had he been freely and fairly elected, there is every probability that he would have succeeded and he might have earned an illustrious place in our history. But the stamp of frauel was upon him. Though the country acquiesced in the robbery ot the elec toral vote Irom Tilden, it never real ly accepted the result. Mr. Hayes himself was innocent of tbe fraud and accepted the office oin'y when it was thrust upon him; but the sin was visited upon his head, and when another President had been lawfully elected he returned. to the obscurity from which he had been drawn. Here ne lived a quiet, dignified life, taking a modest part in various natriotic and charitable works and filling the measure of his duty as a citizen with out ostentation and always with hon or, which will iollow him in the kindly repose of the grave.

Miss Montana Fpoke with the lofty scorn beseeming the hand some maiden of twentyathree, who had rejected several effers, out cf deference to a misty ideal which she had not yet outgrown, and a ''career" which she thought 6he wanted to fo'l w.

Thomas M. Holt. In retiring from tbecfEce of Govt ernor, which he held for two years with credit to himself and to the State, Thomas M. Holt ear trieswith him the esteem of all our people, regardless of polities. He was confronted by conditions that very few of our Governors haye had to contend agaiuSt, bnt he car ried himself with dignity and 6tern devotiou to principle, and his con ceptions of duty that commmanded the respect of even those who tought him, most bitterly. We refer to the organ'zition ol the Alliance division within the lines of the Democratic party, and to the Third. party organ'zatior, afterwards, outside of those lines bnt composed in a large part ot men who had for years tmMiated with the Democratic party, n1 unswervingly supported its nomi nees and State administrations. The former of these foug'it Gov. Holt's renomination and defeated it; tbe latter warred on hi.:t and on his administration. But the op position of one nor tbe ho-tili'y of the other swerved him neither to tiie rght nor to turi lest for .he kept on in the traight wav where honoi and doty ed. In It's administration of the States sffairs be had the advant age of having had a fine business training, having been lor many years personally and largely iden titijd with a nnaibor ot the States mobt important industries.

He was identified a'so with other u dustries. lie whs eminently a practical man, with a business training: which served him well as Governor. Personally he was plain and un pretending, and as Governor, ala though fully appreciative of the dignity of the officjp, he was .the ame a fiAble,m pretentious "lorn tiult that he was m bis younger days when he iu person directed the business of his factories and tarm, and held hitnseli above no honest man. He was not only po liticaliy but socially a Democrat, t)6ked to be esteemed only for what he was, and basked in .no other man's fame or glory. Having, been Governor made him - no greater than he waa, ceasing: to be Gov ernor h i? made him no less. Wil mington Star. Funeral of Ex-Presid&nt, Fremont, O., Jan. 20.

Whilst we have no hard words for the persons hinted at in the oliowiiiiT paragraph from the Baltimore Sun we endorse the teachings of the said paragraph. We qaoti: "It will be well for the pohti- cians eyeiy where to rec gnizo the act that Mr. Cleveland has be hind him the masses not onlv -of the Democratic partv, but ol thei American people. They compel! ed his nomination as the candidate of the people's choice. On tbe 4th of Maroh he goes into office with the same popular following, and any attempt on the part of any political clique or coterie within ! the party, in the Sjnate, or in the House, to embarrass his adminiSR ration or throw obstacles in the way of the fulfillment of those promises and pledges in reliance upon which the people elected Mr. Cleveland to the presidency will bring confusion and defeat upon the conspirators.' ihe bun is right. Ihere is no hope for the South except in the continued tucccss of the Demo cratic party, and no hope for the Democratic party expect in the suceess of Mr. Cloveland's Admin- istration. Any opposition to him any factious opposition, we mean. of course wou!d result in ininrv to the Democratic party. Mr. Cleveland is the head and front of that party because he is President of the United States. Any other one of tbe gentlemen who compet ed with him at Chicago for the nomination for President wou'd, t be had succeeded in being nom nated and elected, have become the same recognized leader of the Democrats loces. We have no patience with the men who, claim ing to oe the nest or juamocratg. nevertheless allow their teeling3 to dictate their conduct. Appeal to our judgment and see if we have not herein laid down the right rule ot action. We believd in "practical poli tic?. V e hold that as the success of the Democratic party depends upon die fealty or the masses of the voters to their leaders no less than upon the fealty of those lead e'S to the principles of that party, so there can never be found rea sons t uffiVent to justify any DomQ. crt, 'end r or follower, for suik- ng, Achilles like, in his tent whilst ha battle is raging, or. Thersites ike, indulging in language uhbe. conrng and treasonable. And aa no one man is wiser than all other men, we a'so hold that the great est ot Democratic leaders mu6t govern themselves by the same rules which control the actions ot all their Democratic associates. We have quoted from the Sun because, as we have said, we oe ieve in the doctrineset forth in the extract quoted, bnt it must not be supDOsed that we do not under stand that paper meant to hint that there was t suspicion ot disloy alty to Mr, Cleveland on the part of Senators Hill and Murphy, of New York, But those two Sen ators are too wise, too loyal to the Democratic party, too practical, too well acquainted with the world, and too well posted as to what it is permissible for a dissatisfied Demo crat to say and do, to be found do ng or saying anything that would render aid and comfort to tbe en emy, Mr. vjieveianu aiso is aoove anv and all petty preiudices, tie has given to Mr. Carlisle a seat in bis CabiTet, notwithstanding the fact that Mr. Carlisle tried to ins finence the Chicago convention not to ncniinate him for President. As he has treated Mr. Carlisle, so will he treat the iNew lorK sen .... . --r r- i atros that is, as Democrats true to their party arid .therefore loyal to the foremost man -n that party. Yes, Mr. Cleveland is the head and front bf the Damccratic party, and could not, if he would, divest himself ot that cbaractei; and so we repeat, thero is no hope for the South except in the success of the Democratic party, and no hope tor the Democratic party except in the success of Mr; Cleveland s Admin istration, and no hope for the suc cess of Mr. Cleveland's Adminis tration except in the loyalty to it of all good - Democrats.

He in, too, one of the most conspicuous anu influential men in Congress. Congressman Cockrau was a lively opponent of Mr. Cleveland prior to the nomination. He said some hard things against the popular candidate, and those ho knew him only as a fighter feared that he would never be on riendly terms with the Cleveland administration. But Cockran is a mau of high honor and is full of the true party spirit. Some of Mr. Cleveland's old opponents were sus- ected of not being as desirous of the candidate's election as they said they were. But no one who knew Mr. Cockran doubted for one mo ment, his loyalty to the ticket. H was a bold and honest fighter, but worked honestly and faithfully for Mr. Cleveland s election, and to-aay Mr. Cleveland has few more enthus- astic supporters than he is. this is Cockran s latest utterance ou the subject : I know of no quarrel between Mr. Crocker and Mr. Hill, If there has been one I have heard nothing of it. I do know that anv enemy of Mr. Cleveland cannot be friendly with the New York Democracy. I believe that the future of the Dem ocratic party lies with Mr, Cleve land. He has put that party where i3 to-day. He has already proved himself the man of the party, and the New York Democracy will support him in every way. That I know. The idea that any Democrat from this State is going to embarrass Mr. Cleveland s administration in anv way is absurd. We are all with Mr. Cleveland, and will do all in our power to aid him in his admin istration, . I did not come to New York ex pressly to see Mr. Cleveland, but I am going to call on him at his office this morning. I understand that he is going to Lakewood for the winter, and I want to have a talk with him before he goes away, Mr, Cleveland did not send for me. I want to consult him about certaiu matters which are now before the House. "I don't want to give the impres sion that Mr. Clveland is in any way dictating or trying to dictate to the Democrats in the present House. He is doing nothing of the kind. I want his advice about several .bills that are now before the House, and if necessary explain to him the provis ions of some, of them, notably, the Andrew Silver bill, which does far more than repeal the Sherman bill; Mr, Cleveland may not be thor oughly cognizant of - all the provis ions of that bill, and 1 want to get his opinion about its merits and de merits This has the true Democratic ring, and will greatly increase" the respect that the had for Cockran. public has long Doctor--Why, how is this, my dear sir ? You send me a letter stating that you had been attacked by measles, and I find you suffer ing from rheumatism. . Patient Well, yon see, doctor, it is like this: There wasn't a eon in the house who knew how to spell ihenmatism. "Executive Patronase. Editor Argus: I'm not insensible of the fact, tl at the exercise by the Prc3idenr, of the above caption to this article is no easy task, and will by no meats prove to him to be a "bed of rcses." No indeed, but very far from it. And why? Because of several very well established reasons. Let me see: Never wa there known before in the political history of this country such a nomination and election. The politicians had precious little to do with the first, &n as regards the last the force of circumstances com pelled many of them to buckle on their armor anew. The public pres' generally was also a little backward at first, ur.til such was the purport from the 'masses that thev had to imitate the example of the so-called leaders(?). The all abssrhing question seemed to be that of "Availibility," and to it all were required to yield, but the people say Nay, aud the nomination of Crover Cleveland was secured. You can well afford to iudulge in self-complacency, in yiew of the fact that, from the very outset, you saw the "end from the beginning." Fort unate sagacity for you. A great many hard things were said by men before the election that were afterwards regretted, and now, strange to tell, they are the very ones mOwt clamorous iu their de mands for office. All we have to say if, that we earnestly hope and trust the Execu tive will see to it (ali things being equal) that the preference in every case be given to those who, all the way through, were his true and tried friends, and not his foe". It is true that the disappointed ones may curse him, but as much as we de spise profanity we: would say, if, curse they will, let them curse on. Their doing so will only prove to be the repetition iu modern times, of the Parthian arrows of old, Sjn.e of that same sort did i: during Groycr Cleveland's former administration, and what was the result? The peo ple most heartily hive given him their approval in a way that is nn paralled in the history of American politics. I see from I he New York papers that the Hill and Murphy faction are about to show their cloven feet. Well, let it be so, if it has to come the sooner the better. "Whom the gods destroy, they first make mad.' We would be glad to se? the Deni ocratic leaders and press a unit in the support of the administration, but when there are so many cravings to be satisfied we deem this almost impossible. In conclusion, permit me to say that, in my humble opinion, never was there a time in the history of our country that called for more sound and determined men in the councils of the nation than the present. President Cleveland wil! need them, and if North Carolina is privileged to furnish her quota, w would with special pleasure call attention to the name of Ex-Gov. Thos. J. Jarvis as one who has been tried and found not wanting. The ast campaign demonstrated this fact iu an unmistakable manner. Veritas. Kenansville, N. C Jan'y 20, 1893. Mr. Telfair Remains.

Bradstreet says: The features of the week's business have been delayed, mer chandise and produce shipments by rail, stoppage of the same by water, coal famine at the West, checked communication with in terior merchants, due to severe cold weather and snow, and ad vancea in prices for nearly all points, with an upward tendency in prices for shoes," cotton" goods, woollens and tobacco. The most serious effect of the extreme cold weather South is the practical stopping of taiffic by water.

He nved but little more after five years butore he surrendered his army to General Grant at Appo mottox, and he preceded that com mander to the grave by fifteen years, Lee had a great strain upon his mind and body during the three years when he was in command of the Army of Northern Virginia and the wonder is that he did not sink under it. At all times he carried an enormous weight of res sponsibility. He had hot only to plan hss campaigns, but, to a dis agreeable degree, find men to fill his ranks; food to feed them; ciotnes to ciotne them, and Bhot; for their guns, He was the head of a great military family and upon him every subordinate leaned while to him President Davis and ths Confederate Congress looked for suggestions and advice. He was a pillar ot strength. He had the complete confidence of the South. His character and rapacity both were respected. The people believed that if he could not achieve success success would be impossible to the Confederate arjns. J. hey had as much iaith in him when he returned grief strickj en from the disastrous field of Get- tvsburg as when they saw him hurling back McClellan'b legions from the gates'cf Richmond, That he was willing to take all the blame ot the Gettysburg defeat upon himself but caused them to admire him all the more intense- ly.
