To the Editor of The Lenoir Topic: v Harrison havinc ftriooa&AaA ' in getting rid of the Senate, will now proceed to do some hustling on his own account: ha still h fat Din ma t.n rliannoa rf nnk ostk.

Harrison it ' has little regard for influence. The fortunate man for he is fortunate l n having such an endorsement, even if he does not receive the appoint ment is ex-Gov. Thompson, of South Carolina; the position sought is the democratic member of the Civ il Service Com mission. Mr. Thomp son is endorsed by every democrat ic Senator as well as four or five republican Senators. He was ap pointed to the position .by Mr. Cleve land, while he was Assistant Secre tary of the Treasury, and would undoubtedly have been immediately confirmed if it had not been for the caucus resolution of the re publican Senators opposing further confirmations i during the session. There is nothing against Mr. Thompson and everybody agrees that he would make an excellent Civil Service Commissioner. The rejection of the nomination of Murat Halstead to be minister to Gefmanv bv the Senate, has set the rennblicana all bv the ears. Harri son is in a rage about it; Blaine likewise, and it is samtnat iiaisteaa will be aDoointed anyway in a few days and that Harrison will trust to be able to pull mm tnrougn me Senate next winter. He will find that a somewhat difficult matter, as the, republicans that voted against him say they will never do other wisfl. and it is hardly likely that enough democrats can be found to stop this nice little row in the re- publican family. All gooa aemo erats should content themselves with looking on and shouting "Go it Harrison," and x'Uo it Senate' knowing that whichever side wins it will be so much amunition fur nished for the democratic guns. New pension agents are springing nn nn all sides here', and they all expect to get rich during the next nn xroara t.hronffh Tanner's liberal decisions, and they are not likely to be disappointed unless congress shall refuse to appropriate all the money needed to pay pensions under such decisions. f m Mr. C.

If the shades of the members of the first Congress and its immediate could read ex-Senator Chace's appeal for better pay for members they would surely -smile, if shades ever smuV The salary of r ((( a xronr An d mileage now paid Konfttnr or Representative,: witn ta addition-!, in the Eater's czzs, f:r Vzt ij cf a , r'fr-t? rrrr.tirj-, would have seemed to these dead and gone Congressmen an allowance fit for a king. The first members, of Congress were paid $6 a day- for actual attendance at the session of Congress. Sometimes a member had to make a journey on horseback of 500 miles in order to attend the session. He was allowed a mileage of $6 for every twenty miles he had to travel in going or returning from a session. Taking delays on ac count of bad weather and bad roads into consideration, 20 miles was about an average day's journey, so he was paid practically, 16 a day from the time he left home until he, returned'. In .1816 the first move in the direction of an annual salary without regard to attendance was made and Congress voted its members $1,500 a year. Congiess evidently received some sharp rebuke for this extravagance, for the law was repealed the next year and shortly afterwards the compensation was hxed at eight dollars per diem. These statesmen of the new republic received their pay in a mueh depre ciated currency, but the style of living then prevailing at the Nation al Capital was simple and eight dol lars a day even with a discount off was enough to provide a , member with the ordinary A comforts of the time. In 1856 the pay was raised to $6,000 for service in one. " Con gress or $3,000 a year.. At the close of the war the advance was made to $5,000 a year. In 1874 a farther advance was made to $7,500 a year and Congress made itself ridiculous by voting itself back pay at that rate from the beginning of the Con gressional term and then hastily repealed the law increasing the con gressional salaries under stress of popular condemnation, borne mem bers, however, kept their back pay. It is not safe 'for any man in Con gress to begin an agitation for an increase of pay, but a man who has resigned his seat, as Mr. Chace has, and returned to private life can, without rendering himself open to criticism, begin the campaign. In every new Congress some men are missed who have declined reelection because they cannot alford to serve. Some busy members pay out yearly to their clerks as much as they re ceive in salary. It is said sometimes, as a reproach, that only rich men can get into the Senate. It might be said with equal truth that only rich men can afford to go to the Senate. It is remarkable how one can get used to stranere surroundings and an entirely different mode of life. Two of the new Senators at least have been active business men. Mr. Higgins, of Delaware, was a lawyer in full practice, accustomed to spend his days in court trying cases, or in office in consultation with his clients or the preparation of briefs. Mr. McMillan was one or the "lumDer kings" of his State, and his 'time was fully taken up with cuversineci and important interests. And yet these two Senators,, introduced into a new sphere, after an experience of a little over three weeks, appeared to be perfectly at home m their com fortable seats, and if they felt, any embarassment in being, meml.ers of the most august body in the world it was not apparent to the observer from the galleries. The , way that these two Senators occupied them selves while the Senate was in open session for the short time each day was entirely different. Mr. Higgins has the reputation of an infinite number of good' and racy stories. His colleagues have plainly discover ed that this trait in his character, for he was almost invariably in con versation with one or the other of them. Senator Evarts appears to have found an affinity in the jun ior Senator from the Diamond State, and they were generally to be seen .... -i l - J J u- sittmg siae oy siue, uu uum hid quiet laugh that was every now and then hqaro it was piam mat buuio taking story had been related and froperly appreciated. Mr. Mc Mil an, who by the way, rivals Gen. Butler in being considered the best dressed Senator was not often in his seat. He is destined to make the more intimate personal acquaintance of his brother Senators, and went from chair to chair and had a few words to say to the occupant or flftp.h. His attachment to nis col league, Senator Stockbridge, is very evident. They reuiina onw iue intimacy that exists between wen. Burnside and the late oenaior An thony. Senators McMillan and Stockbridge, when in Washington together are not often separated other, and were , often seen in close consultation on one of the sofas in the rear of thecnamDer, Tt mftv be out down as an assured fact that the two Michigan Senators will work in perfect accord.

W. R. Burcb, of Goldsboro. ia tha Glutcfa es of Bunco lien. Charlotte Chronicle. , W. R. ;Burch, of Goldsboro, who established the "Merchants Protec tive Assocation" in Charlotte two or three years ago, made his first trip to New York a short time ago. About two hours after he arrived in the city he concluded he would go out and take a look at the sights of the great metropolis. According ly, he buttoned up his Prince Albert coat, put an extra touch on his glos sy silk Jiat, and strolled down town. The air was bracing, and the af ternoon was beautifnl. Mr. Burch had just finished a hearty meal, and he was in the best of spirits. He had not gone more than two or three squares before he was greet ed in the most cordial manner by a well dressed, nice looking man. j A AVELL DEESSED STRANGER. - "Vyiiy, I am delighted to see you, old fellow," said the stranger exten ding his hand. "I had not seen you in such along time I did not know what you were 'doing with yourself. How have you been, anyway?" Mri Burch looked at the man in amazement, and said: "My friend, you tiiirc certainly got the advantage of me, for I really do not remember 'you." ' ; j!' ' I ' "What-. said the well dressed New Yorker, in a tone of the greatest surprise. "Am t you Mr. Johnson; of Kan ;:1?ntv?" ! ', "Not a bit of it," was the reply,. 'I am VV. It. iSurch, ol lioldsboro. North Carolina "I beg a thousand pardons," said the stranger. . "I never saw such a resemblance between . two men in my life. I trust that you will ex cuse me for my blunder. J Making the most profuse aplogies, the stranger bowed himself graceful ly away. t A CO DIAL GREETING. ' ! Mr. Burch continued his stroll, and after walking a few blocks further, an elegantly dressed man, who look ed, every inch, a man of the world, approached him, and, in the heaiti est manner, shook hands with him, saying. " This is Mr. Burch, of Goldsboro, is it not? I am delighted to see you. When did you arrive in the city?" " v ell, really, said the astonished Mr. Burch, "lam forced to say I do not know you." "Don't remember me?" asked the man. "My name is Borden, and I met you in Goldsboro. I am a rela tive of Mr. Borden, the banker of jour town. I travel for a house in Louisville, but 1 have an office here. While you are in town, I shall be most happy to show you around and serve you in any way within my pow er." ' ! V SEEING SOMETHING OF THE CITY. "I am veryglad indeed to meet you. replied Mr. Burcb in his hear ty manner. This is my first visit to Newt York, and I am just taking a little walk to-see something of the city. : "Come around to my office," said the stranger. "It is only a few blocks from here, and I want you to make yourself perfectly at home. "With pleasure." responded the unsuspecting Burch. "I have noth ing in particular to do now, and I will go with you. 'i . . ' j ONLY BUY A TICKET. The two proceeded a short i dis tance when Sir. Borden said: "Wait a minute I want to buy a ticket to Louisville. Come into this ticket office with me, and I'll see; what I can get a ticket for. Mr. Burch went with him into the socalled ticket office, which was a sorall apartment and had the ap pearance of a ticket scalper's place of buisness. t said Mr. Borden. "The superintendent is not m just now," replied a man who seemed to be the clerk. "Take seats, he will be back in a few minutes." THE CATTLE DEALER. Just then another man walked in to the office and called for a ticket to Louisville. "Why that is just where I am go ing myself," said Mr. Borden to the" stranger who had iust entered. "Do vou live in Louisville?" "I do. said the straneer. "I have just sold a drove of cattle and I am going back nome. v -1 . I'VE GOT THE .WEALTH j; on me too." As he said this, he drew out a roll of greenbacks about the Bize of a man s arm. , ; - "You had better be caref nl how you show your money in this city, said Mr. Borden. ' 'It is easy to be robbed." t'l wish, you had told me" that about two hours ago," replied the cattle dealer. "I know- now,. but I found it out by experience A sharp er got hold ; ol me awhile ago ana robbed me of C300. He not me to . "THREE CARD MONTE with him, and it wasn't five minutes before he had my money and I had the experience. Just as he was about to skip. I made a grab at him, but all I got was his infernal old cards. Here they are. This is the way he did me up." HOW THE GAME IS.PLAYED. The cattle man then proceeded to shuffle the three cards, explaining that the game was to bet on the position of a certain card. 'r or instance, be continued, the sharper would show me the faces of the three cards, then , turn them over, shuffle them slowly before my eye3, and bet that I could not tell where the ace was. ."I'LL BET YOU TWENTY DOLLARS I can tell you where" the ace is how," interrupted Burch's friend Borden, who had been intently watching the manipulation of the cards, as the cattle dealer explained the way he said he had been taken in. "Done," cried the cattle dealer, putting up his twenty dollars against Borden's. "Now which is it?" "There it is," said Borden,v pla cing his hand on a card, which, upon being turned up, proved to be the ace. "I told you so: now hand over my twenty dollars." "You beat me, said the cattle dealer with a rueful expression of countenance, as the clerk, who held the stakes, handed over the money to Borden. "You got me that time, but i'll. bet you $500 you can't do it again." "I ll go you said Borden, fum bling in his pockets for the money, while the cattle dealer coolly count ed out his $500. "Burch, " he whispered in the ear of the North Carolinian, "I've got on to this fellow's gamejl'm dead on to it, and I can win his $500. Have you got that much about you? I forgot to have a draft cashed today, and I haven't got much money with me. A FRIENDLY LOAN. The unsuspecting Burch reached into his inside poc et and shelled out every cent he had, which amounted to $280. : "Here, he said to Borden, "this is all I've got with me, but you are welcome to that. "All right," returned Borden, "I've go enough to make out the five hundred with. Now we'll get him. Here 8 my ' money, he said to the stake holder. "Now shuffle your cards, Mr. Cattle Dealer." WHAT BECAME OF THF LOAN. The cattle dealer shuffled th& cards, Borden pointed out the card which he said was the Ace, and the card was turned. It proved to be a Queen, and the cattle dealer raked in the stakes. Just at this moment the "Super intendent" walked in, and, in a gruff voice, said: . "Gambling in my office, are you? I'll have every one of you arrested. . the pals skip. No sooner had the Superintendent spoken than the cattle dealer and Burch s friend Borden skipped with all the alacrity at their command. They were so quick that Burch could not catch up with them, and it sud? denly dawned upon his mind, that he had been a victim of Bunco men. (The more he thought of his $280, the angrier he became. He determined at once to look for a detectiye and try to have the men arrested. - Finally, securing a detective, he returned to the "ticket omce," and found it was locked up and the "Superintendent" and "Clerk" had skipped. Mr. Burch has not, from that day to this, heard from his "friend, who professed to be Mr. Borden. The joke was such a good one, that Mr. Burch could not retrain from telling it on himself, and now his friends, whenever they wish to get even with him, ask him if he knows how to play "Three Card Monte Letter from Cilley.

A Fair Land, With Drawbacks of Quicksands, Heat, Blizzards and Fever. J Chicago, 111.; April 12, 1889. The lack of general information con cerning the Indian Territory is easily accounted for by one who has lived there for any length of time. The Indians naturally impart as little knowledge of it as possible, partly from their instinctive jealousy and' fear of the white incursion, and also because they came mostly in contact with such whites as were interested in the country remaining in its state of isolation. The cattle men, who by .the aid of leases or the friendly protection of certain "squaw men" (white men married to squaws) had thojr herds there,, were not com municative. Nor were the employes of the Interior Department. I he army people were few in num ber, and their life, a change from post to post on the frontier, had led them to regard Indian reservations on A large scale as part of the natu ral economy of the United States. Their tastes were not commercial or fastoral and the possibilities in these ands did not strike them as forcibly a3 it has others. For. the Interior Department the existing condition of things meant many good positions for politcal workmen "worthy of their steel. Cattle men gradually driven back by the surging wave of emigration found here an abiding place for their thousands of beeves and made money rapidly. Ihese causes combined and the other Western lands yet open" for settlement left the country almost as unknown as Alaska until within a lew years, lhe country is well watered. Kingfisher Creek and many other small streams are clear,' pure, sweet and teem with fish perch and catfish. There are also many springs. Hut a great deal of water ia bud and unfit to drink, be ing ruther salty, or alkaline, or both. The Citrimarron River before it reaches the Oklahoma country pass es over a bed of salt that renders it utterly unfit for any purpose. It is not really good for wauhing. Part of its course is through banks of red clay, which is so mixed up with the water that it resembles in color and consistency muddy boarding house coffee. . This is the -principal stream that crosses the new Territory- . 1 . The main stream, the Canadian River, which marks the southern boundary, is similar in many re spects to the Cimarron. Both run through a wide sandy bottom, some times narrowing, but generally a vast expense of sand quicksand at that of the meanest kind. They are from two inches to ten feet in depth during a rise, and in places almost a mile wide. In time of low water a narrow, changing channel may be found, sometimes on one side, sometimes on the other. difficulties of travel. Both are exceedingly uncertain to cross during high water. You can not see the bottom, lo stop a sec ond to look around niay possibly result in the loss- of your wagon, and you are likely to drive into a big hole at every step. Some years ago a train of wagons for Lee & Reynold coming up with buffalo robes were at the banks of the South Canadian one evening. The river wascoming up and the train boss attempted to cross. 'Light of the wagons stuck in the sand, an,d though twenty yoke of bulls were put on they could not. move them. The next morning only the tops of one or two wagons remained above water. The whole eight sank away and they are supposed to be stilt going downward. Not even a wheel was saved. The North Fork of .the Canadian is a narrow, clear, pratty stream of fairly good water. v All of these streams have a fringe of-cottonwood, willows, elm, oak or hackberry, with a little black wal nut, which looks inviting to the tra veller after riding over the plains of Western Kansas and Nebraska, and while the country is not really well wooded it appears to be so. Between the two Canadians is one of the prettiest little ranges ever known. Here was formerly a favorite past ure ground for buffalo, countless herds of which roamed over this section. In the bright moonlight of that latitude, after a rain, the prairie appears studded with enor mous gems, caused by the reflection from the "numerous pools . of water in the now deserted buffalo wallows. ' The climate i3 mild, xrith exces sively hot days in summer, but at night after ten o'clock comes a cool, refreshing breeze that is a positive luxury, and almost every night in the year a light blanket at least is needed. Though the mercury reach- j es 1 15 degrees, or eyen higher, there is always a breeze that greatly re lieves the oppressive effect of in tense heat. T)uriDg winter there ii a light snowfall, that rarely lasts over a day or two. AN OCCASIONAL BLIZZARD. Occasionrdly there occurs what is known as a "blue norther" or bliz zard, and the mercury gets down to about zero. -During such ' weather stock suffers severely, and many an imals perish, especially if the nor therns preceded by a rain, changing into snow.. The cold appears to be more penetrating than further north, and I have seen a company: of negro soldiers arrive at Reno af ter a nine miles' march in which forty-nine out of fifty men were so badly frozen that they. were at once sent to the hospital. Yet the men were apparently properly and warm ly enough clad. Were it not for the prevailing high winds and dust the climate would be delightful as a rule. The winds in summer are sometimes so high as to prevent haymaking, i Du ring one season at Fort Sill the greater portion of the hay put up at that post had to be cut and hauled by moonlight. Nothing could be done during the day. fl As a rule the climate is healthy, but in all sections in that latitude, . especially along the water . courses, there is considerable malaria and also rheumatism. Cholera raged there some twenty years ago, but there has been none since that time. ' With the opening up of this coun- . try turning over the soil may pro duce, and probably will, malarial in its type and symptoms. This is common to all new countries I andj can be avoided generally by liberal' use of quinine and avoidance of cheap whiskey. This fever usually runs but one season. Settlers from northern latitudes would do better to avoid the bottom lands and select elevated lands. Tt will take about a year to get really acclimated. There is little difference practi cally, as to location; whether a per son takes up land in the Guthrie or ' the Kingfisher district. ' Each is equally accessible. Guthrie, is at least as large as Kingfisher. King fisher is on the western border, eighteen miles north of Fort Reno, oh the Reno-Caldwell stage trail. It was formerly a stage relay station. It consists of a picket house plas tered with mu i, a picket stable ditto,. a wire fenced garden and a haystack. But undoubtedly at each point there will be a large and pros perous town.
