: CLEVELAND AND HIS CABINET
have concluded to decline to comply with
all such demands and on constitutional
grounds, as before stated. This decision
is intfnded not only to govern the" action
of the attorney general and tbe secretarj
of j the treasury, but will apply to the
n ply of ithe President himself when the
expected resolution passes the Senate,
in open session, calling; upon him per
sonally for the " information " which
the heads of these departments have de
clined to give. No formal demand upon
the President has yet been made, you
nnderstabd the two" resolutions here
tofore adopted (in executive session)
having been directed to the two cabinet
officers above mentioned!. They may be
termed the "overture";) the drama or,
what is more probable, the farce-will

locked horns, for it will have a, most
beneficial effect on Democrats, inasmuch
as St will bring every Democratic Sena
tor and Congressman to! the defence of
the; administration and cement the party
tie between the executive and legislative
branches of the government. You may
rest assured that the Sherman and Logan
gang will make nothing
out of Grover
Cleveland, not even the

There is little dubt that ihe attempt
to elevate the agricultural bureau to i
department, its hetid to bo a fa bine t offi
oer, will meet witlilj merited success dur
ing the present CoibgreRS. The scheme
is to consolidate jjthe present bureau
with the proposed' bureau of labor, to
be called the department of agriculture
and labor. Ti.be mil s now being pre
pared by the ngriciultural committee, as
a member of which Col Green has been
indefatigable in his efforts to promote
this plan for the advancement of the
agricultural interests of the country.

their presence generally m places where
they are riot wanted. They do not deny
that there; are good accommodations of
every character for colored people here,
but they think it is '.'insulting to their
manhood" that they are not allowed to
eat with and rub against white neonle
wno ao nou aesire their company, and
i i . i . ---
they want the District laws so amended
that! licenses shall not be allowed to any

sire. Referred to the district committee.
i AMOSO THE APPROPRIATIONS ;
cub-committees there are only three'of
our j Congressmen, viz: Cox, consular
iiud; diplomatic; Green, agricultural;
Skinner, Indian. The only Democratic
Senators who will have, a finger in the
appropriations pie are Messrs. Gorman,
Keek, Call and Cockrell.
DONAH DEPARTS FOR TUB "DIGGIUGS."
Col.' Pat. Donan, once of Raleigh,
now of Dakota, and. several other gen
tlemen, forming a syndicate, some time
ago sent a couple of old miners oat to
Honduras, prospecting , for an alleged
placer gold mine said to exist there.
The report comes from Chicago that the,
discovery has been made and that they
hate "struck it rich." After turning
tho river Guayape from its native bed
they have begun regular mining and are
said to be sluicing out the filthy lucre to
the tune of ten dollars per cubic yard.
The bed of the river they have re
claimed covers many acres in extent, and
under the laws of the republio they can
lay claim to it all. Pat. departs for "the
scene of action" at once.
BODTELLE WANTS ANOTHER BASTING.
This radical bloody-shirter from Maine
arose in the House this week and at
tempted to reopen . the Norfolk ' navy
yard discussion; but, mind you, it was
at a time when Capt.- Wise was not in
his seat, lioutelh has been squirming
ever since he received; such a severe
lashing from "Wise's lingual whip, ten
days ago, and he sought to somewhat
retrieve himself by attacking Mr. Wise
when that gentleman was not present to
again flay him by ' a reply, Boutelle
knows he is in the wrong' and, you
know, M
"Conscience dotb make cowards of us all,"
especially Boutelle, who is such a vil
lainous politician that he is naturally '
j - "Pig. on-llvered, and lacks gall."
He was ruled out of order on this occa
sion, however, but; has been offered a
"new trial" at the proper; time if he
wants it. He says he does want it and
I hear that Congressman and Senator
elect John W. Daniel will be "detailed" ,
to answer him. Phew! My fellow
countrymen, if: you have any tears, at
all for this poor, misguided man from;
Maine, you will please prepare to shed
them on -that occasion. You see, the
TVepTetaMkVnu uC.Ai Nt"olk dUvtt
(Libby) is a Republican, and therefore
any ot tne xemocrauc Virginia von
gressmen are at liberty twi defend the
present Democratic management of the
a -a. a ! 1,
yard. iouteue may icnange nis mina,
however, when he learns who is to hanj
die him, for I can ; scarcely believe he is
such a fool as to set- nimself up to be
shot at by such a man as John Daniel,
whose oratorical equal does not tread
American soil today. ; -CI'RRENTR

Hon. James W. Reid hopes to secure

repeal of the tax on spirits distilled

Mr. Reid would like to wiptr out the

possible.
As you have stated, the .Michigan

the North Carolina law, because the lat

is intended to test the constitutionality
of the law there, which as iu North
