News of tho Week From Our Regular Cor respondent at the Capital. Washington. July 1M, 1S!)1. Editoh Ohkoon Scout: Mr. J. F. Tillman, who, with Dr. Macino and Alonzo Wnrdell, is charged with looking after the execu tive business of tho national fanners' alliance, is in town. He has just re turned from Indianapolis, whore he has been on official business. In an swer to a question he said : "It is highly probable that Indianapolis will bo chosen for our national convention on the 17th of next November. The date was lived at tho Oeola meeting, but the selection of thu place was loft to the executive board. I think wo shall choose Indianapolis because of its central location, and because there will be in that city at tho sumo time the convention of tho Farmers' Mutu al Benefit Association, winch is a very strong agricultural order in Illinois and other Northern slates. Probably a consolidation may bo effected by the alliance with that organization at tho coming convention." Being asked whether this convention would decide upon the propriety of nominating and supporting a presidential ticket, Mr. Tillman replied : "Certainly not. The alliance is not a political body. It cannot go into partisan politics. Its members may vote as they choose, with either of tho old parties or a new one, but it doesn't hold meetings to set political machinery in motion." Mr. W. F. Thomas, of Topcka, Kan sas, who is a railroad lawyer and not at all in sympathy with tho alliance movement, in his state, stated huro that ho regarled it as curtain that the alliance would support a presidential ticket, of their own next year, and that unless a great change of sentiment takes placo that th-y will probably carry the stale. In a conversation between a number of prominent Southern democrats here, among whom were Ex-Senator Hampton and Representative Oates, it was admitted that South Carolina, North Carolina, Alabama and Georgia would in all probability cast their electoral votes for a third parly, if the fanners' alliance should formally en dorse the third party movement Some of the gentlemen present thought that it should be the policv of the democratic party in the South' to con ciliate and as far as possible work with the allianco, but Mr. Oates and seveial others advocated making war upon tho allianco and ovorytbing it advo cates, except the free coinage of silver ine nuest movo in 1110 uino cam paign is much talked of here, inus much as it involves a member of tho cabinet aud presumably tho entire administration, and it is also taken as an acknowledgement that tho allianco opposition lo Senator Sherman is too strong to be overcome. The move re furred .to is tho somi-oflicial announce ment that, in case of tho withdrawal of Senator Sherman, Secretary Foster is to becomo a candidate for the sen ato in opposition to Gov. Foraker, that is, if tho republicans succeed in elect ing a majority of thu legislature. In spite of tho most positive denials tho Blaino people still insist that many of tho outrageous stories about Mr. Blaine's condition which have recently appeared in thu newspapers, have been originated or inspired by the frie;ids of Mr. Harrison for tho purpose of killing of! Mr. Blaine us a possible candidate. No one charges that Mr. Harrison, who is generally believed to .have bad a perfect understanding about next year with Mr. Blaine, has had anything to do with this dirty business, but it must be confessed that he has some very indiscreet friends whoto recont actions causo then) to bo under suspicion if they aro not actual ly guilty. Tho reorganization of tho Postoflicu department, which was completed this week, and which was, by tho way, tho first general reorganization of tho de partment since 1818, is expected to greatly expedite? business, and Mr. Wanuamakor, who is specially proud of his executive ability, is pleased to have at last succeeded in having tho work of tho department divided up and systematized as lie thinks it ought to ho, instead of being mixed up as ho found it. A special train very handsomely decorated will leave hero Huuday for Detroit, currying the invitation com mittee which is expected to succeed in persuading thu G. A. K. to accept Washington's invitation to hold the 1S!)2 encampment in this city. The committee appointed by Secre tary Foster to investigate tho charges made by the executive committee of thu Knights of Labor that inferior supplies were used by thu superin tendent of the bureau of engraving and printing which cost more than good articles could be piuchased for, has reported that the charges aro untrue and without foundation. Mr. Hays, of the K. of L. executive com mittee, declined to appear befoie the committee because one of its members, who had once testified under oath against the K. of L., was not lemoved upon his request. .1.

The Willds have been generally northerly and of light veloc ity. On the :10th a few drops of rain foil, in sections sullieient to lay tho dust. The weather bus been irenerallv cloudless, with light smoko appearing. Crops. Fall wheat is nearly all cut and shocked. Threshers will begin operations next week. Reports all indicato that the fall wheat was never better both as to quality and quantity. Spring wheat is being cut in places Bust in Douglass county has seriously affected spring wheat. Spring oats aro being cut in places; somo early oats aro being delivered and a report from Corvallis says that it weighs 100 pounds to the sack. Some young orchards were injured by the extreme heat of tho 23rd. All reports indicate that tho 23rd was tho warmest day on record. Hop lice have developed rap idly in tho past ten days and serious results aro feared from them. Tho codlin moth's ravages continue South un Oregon fruit is better than that of tho valley counties, that is, more plentiful and more free from insects In Curry county 5 and (5 tons of clover hay to tho aero was secured; timothy hay averaged 3 tons to tho aero.

J ho maximum temperaturo ranged from 85 to 100 dcgiecs; tho minimum temperature ranged from (50 to 70 degrees. Fow clouds havo been seen, ami smoke ib appearing in tho atmosphere. Crops. Tho weather conditions have been favorable to tho wheat har vest which is in full operation. As was expected thu wheat has never been better, both as to quantity and quality. In sections of Wasco and Umatilla counties thu wheat is gener ally poor and this year is no exception Shorman county has an extra good crop, larger than over before. Morrow, Gilliam, Shorman, and Wasco conn ties will ship about 1,300,000 bushels of wheat. Last year these counties shipped 000,000 buBhcls. Umatilla county has a remarkably lino crop; to tho north and cast of Pendleton it is, us usual, tho best. Union, Wallowa and Baker counties havo fino pros pects; in theso counties tho harvest is later than in tho previous mentioned counties. Throughout this section tho hay crop is tho largest on record.

Remarkable Contrast In tho Effect of Two Folions on tho Complexion. The slow absorption of many pois ons changes in mine more -or less modified form the complexion, hut arsonic and ammonia xhow their ed'eut about as quickly as any. The popu lar belief that arsenic clears the com plexion has led many silly women to kill thonwlves with it in small, con tinued do-os. It produces a waxy, ivory-like ap pearance of the skin during a certain stage of the poisoning, but its terrible after effects have become too well known to make it of common use as a , cosmetic. I Tho effects of ammonia upon the complexion are directly the opposite , to that of arsenic The first symptom ! of ammonia poisoning which appears I among those who work in ammonia 1 f . I" 1 . f ; factories is a discoloration of he skin , of the nose and forehead. This grad- . , , f .., ., 1 uallv extends over the face until the ' , . , . , , , , , , I complexion has a stained, blotched, ; , . , ., .... and unsightly appearance. With peo- ! pic who take, ammonia into their sys- tern in smaller doses, as with their j water or food, those striking symptoms j do not appear so soon. Tho only j effect, of tho poison that is visible for a ! limn i :i irminrnl niiu-linhmn.miiuu ,mt siillowness of the complexion. Many people are slowly absorbing ammonia poison without, knowing it. Tho uso of ammonia in tho maiuifae' tttros line greatly increased of Into, and if is Unquestionably used as an adul terant in curtain food preparations. Official analysis have plainly showed its use oven in such dump articles of overy day consumption as baking pow ders. The continued absorption of ammonia in oven minute quantities a an adulterant in food is injurious not merely from its elfect upon tho complexion, but binyiuso it destroys tho coating of the stomach and causes dyspopsy and kindred ovils. Professor Long, of Chicago, is au thority for the statement thai, if to fifty million parts of water there is one part of ammonia, tho water is danger ous. Free Trado In a Nutahell. Editor Oiikoox Scout: One J. Young Brown is quoted in your last issuo us explaining "Tariff in a Nutshell." Ho says: "Suppose (nolo tho proposition closoly) I could manufacture in Hart county millions and millions of woolen hats and sell thoin at a profit by placing the liguro at $2.00 each. A man in Great Brit am, say, could nianuiucturo tho same and sell at tho sumo price. If there were no tariff ho could ship his goods horo and outer into competition with mo. That would ho fair and the trado would lio open to all. But there is a tariff on wool of 70 per cent and tho foreigner who would want to sell his hats horo would havo to sell them at $3.10 in order to make a profit. This tariff of 70 percent allows Brown to sell his hats at $3.00 and tho competitor is shut out. Now who gots that dollar? It doesn't go into tho pocket of the government, but it does go into tho pocket of Brown, and tho inultitudo who buy hats aro out just that much" With your permission wo would offer for consideration a fow remarks on Mr. Brown's frco trade proposition. Ho can sell a certain article of hats at $2.00 and niako a good profit, but tho tariff will allow him $3.00. Bight horo, Mr. Brown, you aro wrong, as your many thousand Amorican com petitors will not allow any such trade No wholesaler can sell in this country an inferior article of hats at such profits. Brown knows it, I know it, and so does everybody olso of average mental capacity. It is not tho tariff then that fixes tho price to any great uxtont, hut your countrymen at homo, Mr. Brown, who uro always ready and willing to fill cash orders at remarka bly cut rates. Again, Brown's mag nanimous: and gonorous brothorly fool ing for poor, opprosscd foreigners assorts itself bucatuu tho tariff works a hardship upon him. Hardship) A man in Great Britain could manu facture hats and tsoll thorn in this country at thu same price You are strictly correct, Mr. Brown. No doubt in thu world of it. Ho could manufacturo those hats at so niuuh less it figure than you could possibly do, that your "hoad would w!m" 011 being informed of thu actual cost of production. And why so, Mr. Brown? You aro aware, as well as all of our American folks, that the prime causo ig pauper labor, nothing else. Brown wants fair and honorable competition, and the question arises, do you find it in the above proposition? On account of 70 (tor cent tariff our foreign friends i could not sell their c'ifap labor hah ! here under $.'U0 each and m :ko a profit, and Hrown wails for.-oo h tho same tatiif allows him $3.01) per hat. If '.ho tariff regulates tho price, Brown's modesty should not allow him lo re fuse to take that extra 40 cent a- well us 1 he dollar. If Mr. Biown wishes to j run his hat shoo on .t cheap labor 1 pUn by reducing the pi ice of Ameri ) Pan labor on nn equality t tli.i of foreign countries, then km.ck nil that j obnoxious turiif, and then Bmwn will , be compelled 10 set still another price ! bis ?2.00 hut. I "Sparc that tree (tariff); touch not a single bough. In youth it aided us, and we'll vole to pioteet it. now." Brown's assertion is only a nupposi tion to start on, and facts and figures do not bear him out in it. Competi tion among American manufacturers sot the price on huts, Mr. Brown, and your free trade doctrine don't go down with a large majority of Ameri can voters. Free trade means chi'ap labor and cheap labor means a de struction of our American industries, so hero -you have it in a nutxhell so that ho who runs may read and not err (herein. Moreover that obnoxious tariff is tho safeguard of our hat fac tories, by which Mr. Brown would bo enabled to stay in the business at all, for peradvonturo it were removed and the fioodgntes opened, tho nuelstrom ! that would ovoitako Brown's factorv would certainly paralyze him. In stead of dictating a profit of $1.00 or $1S.00 por dozen on hats at wholesale, (pocketing extra dollars, etc.) wo opino ho would ho calling for the rocks and mountains to full upon him for being so short-sighted in knocking out his own business. Free trade has been demonstrated in the United States, and anyone can thoroughly inform himself in regard to tiiu disadvantages afforded thoreby from official statistics, and not bo led away by such sophistry and nonsensi cal propositions, laid down by profes sional politicians, as set forth. Any rustic well knows (hero is no tariff paid on wool raised at homo, and as 11 very great preponderance ib homo production, tariff rates would not lig uro to any alarming extent in fixing prices by manufacturers. An Eng lishman pays for a woolen hat at homo about the sumo prico u similar articlo will cost us manufactured by our peo ple and sold to us, hut once givo him 11 monopoly of our markets by free trado, with pauper labor, and then (hat ox tra dollar profit will bo beaten out of sight by tho Britisher, as ho will sot tho prico aud wo will hu compelled to pay it as we should. Brown's ovor-unxioty to share his overcharges with a foreign market is of an unusual charactor and clearly demonstrates his noblo magnanimity. Browns of liko caliber ivro exceedingly scarce, at least in Eastorn Oregon. Tho interest manifested by foreigners in American politics is a solf evident proposition that they aro pxtromoly anxious that Mr. Brown's idea of lib erality should ho adoptetl, and aro only awaiting thu time when tho Brown family, or persons of liko politi cal persuasion, becomo numerous enough in thu United States to divido tho loaf with thoin. Whether, after getting their clutches on thu loaf, they will leavo anything for Brown and his friends hut a stone is a ques tion wo, as Amorican people, aro all interested in. Ex-Hat Mkuoiiant.
