Chicago, May 31. Unfortunately for
it, the Blaine movement is not regarded
as being exactly what it pretends to be.
There is a suspicion that back of it,
masquerading in the glittering armor of
the "plumed knight," is something un-
knightly base. It is doubtful whether

A moderately well filled house listened
to a very able address at the Court Jionse
last Saturday evening, by Hon. C . V.
Fulton of Astoria. Mr. Fulton reviewed
the history of the two great parties in
their relation to the tariff question and
pointed out, by an interesting eeries of
facts and figures, that the United btates
had always prospered under a high pro
tective tariff. He contended that the
United States had a right to take ad
vantage of her situation with relation to
other.countries as well as to her own
natural resources. All parties asked for
the exclusion of the Chineee. Why ex
clude them from the country and yet
permit-tliem to dump into it the pro
duct of their cheap labor at home? He
scored the democratic party for propos
ing to put wool on the free list and yet
tax the - manufactured product. The
price of wool had not fallen in the
United States as it has in other wool
producing countries. In March 1892, j
the same class of wool that brought 19
cents in, Philadelphia sold at 10M cents
in Liverpool. He explained the reci
procity clause of the McKinley law and
showed how it had increased our ex
ports. Our trade with Cuba has nearly
doubled. In January 1891, Cuba bought
from us 2,700 sacks of flour and 38,000
from Spain. Under reciprocity in Jan
uary 1892, we shipped them 64,000 sacks
and Spain none. Competition has re
duced the price of our home products.
There is not a protected article in exist
ence that is not cheaper than it was
when we used to buy it abroad. Thirty-
eight million dollars are already invested

Another Letter Coming.
.AASHiSGTOx, June 1. Major Dan
Ransdall marshal of the District of Col
umbia, one of the closest personal
friends of the president, and probably
the most constant visitor at the White
House, in Washington or out of it, says :
"Mr. Blaine will write another . letter.
He will again decline to allow his name
to go before the Minneapolis convention."
As the major spoke so confidently and
serionsly about Mr. Blaine's intentions,
the reporter remarked that he must
have some reason for making the state
ment. "I have" -Jie said, '!and I am
certain of it. You" may quote me as
saying it, and you can put.it down as
certain that the president will be ' re
nominated on the first ballot."

This feeling leads to a search for other
motives than the Blaine motive in the
fight against President Harrison. It is

LAMPRETS AND SEAL..
Sportiveness of the Latter in Feeding
Upon the former.
It is remarked by fishermen that they
have never before noticed so many eels.
The rocks of the narrow channels at the
Dalles throngh which the water rushes
swiftly are lined with lampreys, which
in their efforts to ascend the rapids fasten
themselves to the rocks as high above
the water as they can reach by their
succor-like mouths, and by a vigorous
blow on the surface of the stream with
their tails propel themselves along "step
by step." There are also manv seal
disporting in the river, on the lookout
for the fat salmon. These seals appear
to derive a great deal of amusement from
catching the lampreys. They will wiggle
along up on a ledge of rocks till they find

in charge of the work on the Cascade
locks, says that there are many seals in
that vicinity. They haunt a big eddy
opposite the locks, and amuse themselves
by swimming up to the head of it and
then dodge out into the swift current
and are swept down, their sleek heads

man can be relied on to bring forth both
numbers and enthusiasm. It is not in
probable that the opponents of Mr. Har
rison have in view the possibility of
forcing the president out of the fight.
They may push Blaine up to the point
where a roll-call is the next thing in or-
der. They may menace the peace of the
party and the good order of the conven
tion, and all for the purpose of nomina
ting, not Mr. Blaine, but some one who
will subserve their individual ends and
ambitions. It is necessary to keep in
mind that this is an anti-Harrison fight,
not a Blaine fight.
Xhe inen and the delegates who favor
the president's renomination are not
violently enthusiastic for him. Some of
the three hundred delegates who are in
structed for him are bound only by their
instructions. It is so with some of the
Illinois delegates. They are a degree
worse than lukewarm. The backers of
from the field upon the promise that Mr.
Blaine, too, will withdraw. That this
desperate hope finds lodgement in the
bosoms of the Clark son crowd is apparent.
Beyond that point it would be difficult
to cast a horoscope. Yet the overwean
ing ambition of Alger is no small factor
m this general uproar.
Old Fort Sutter Gold.
Sackamento, May 31. The sealed
metal receptacle found on the site of old
Fort Sutter last week by the contractor
who is building a memorial hall there
for the native sons of the golden west,
who now own the site, contained over
$20,000 worth of gold dust. This find
may make a difference in the plans of
"the-hall to.be erected. Other deposits
.of like character are supposed to be bur
ied in the vicinity. It has always been
believed that there are considerable
sums iu dust hidden around the old fort
by miners who came down from the
: mountains in early days and who died
-or were killed before recovering it.
Jfotably in this supposed to be the caee
during the cholera plague of the early
fifties, when scores died suddenly in and
around this historical spot.

Omaha, May 31. Yesterday a through
discussion of the work of the Epworth
league was had, and every department of
this growing society was. carefully in
vestigated and a number of improve
ments were made in the management ot
this young but vigorous -organization.
While the church believes it the best
policy to have all the young people go
into this one society, yet it will not an
tagonize any society whose object is the
same but whose name is different from

Mosiek, Or., May 27, 1892.
An organization of republicans was
effected at this place last evening hav
ing the above title and comprising a
membership of some thirty persons.
Thomas Harlan was chosen permanent
chairman; Milton Harlan, secretary;
Robt. Densmore, treasurer' and S. D.
Fisher, Frank Weidner, John Wilberg,
Chas. A. Cramer, M. Deitzenmiller,
John Singleton, W. E. Husky, Rees
Prather and Nathan Sturges, executive
committee. The various localities of
the district were well represented at the
convention and the session was enthu
siastic and harmonious. Remarks were
made relative to the rapidly-increasing
population of this section and the neces
sity for organized effort to promote
thorough republican principles and fit
ting recognition by the balance of the
county and state. At the meeting it
was decided to hold a public demonstra
tion in the grove adjoining the town.prop
erly supplied with benches, stand and
decorations, on Saturday next at 1 p. m.,
when the gathering will be addressed by
such well known speakers as Hon. C.
W. Fulton, of Astoria, Hon. M. P. Isen
berg, of Hood River; Hon. W. H. Wil
son, Hon. B. S. Huntington and Judge
C. N. Thornbury, of The Dalles. After

the chairman. H.'Arlan.
A Quieting Keport.
New York, Tune 1. A dispatch to
the secretary of the National republican
committee from, M. H. De Young, stating
in positive terms that the California del
egation is favorable to Blaine; had a
quieting effect in the camp of the anti
Harrison people. . v
Syracuse, N. Y., June 1. The anti
snap democracy of this state met in ses
sion here yesterday, in opposition to
Tammany, and Hills' midwinter con
vention. The meeting was called to or
der by ex-Secretary of the Treasury
Charles C. Fairchild. chairman of the
state committee. Fairchild made a
brief speech, in which he spoke of the
strength of the movement atrainst Hill
' and its growth since the convention was
called, and said they had only to go on
in a spirit of justice, and calmly, to ac
complish what he believed would do
more for the democratic party in the
state of New York than all other politi
cal movements in the last generation.
Wise ones are of opinion that the con
vention is backed by the Vanderbilt in
terests and the railway interests gener
ally, which look with disfavor on Tam
many's antagonism of Mr. Cleveland.
This belief is founded on the fact that
prominent railway officials are sup
porting the ex-president in a very ag
gressive manner. While the conclusion
is logical, is can hardly be said to have
been fully demonstrated as yet. It is
safe to assume in support of this view
that the Vanderbiltsr and other railway
owners, have not lost sight ot tneir in
terests which may be affected by the re
sult in November. They would like to
see a sale man on each ot the party
tickets. They could then rest easy.
The western man is what men like the
Yandcrbilts fear the most. . To them the j
western man is an .embodiment of
western ideas. He is suspected of being
loaded with isms. Drawing millions
from the west, the Yanderbilts look with
apprehension on any attempt to nomi
nate a candidate for president from the
west. It follows, therefore, that Tam
many's opposition to Cleveland, inviting
as it does the selection of a western man,
incurs the disaproval of the Vanderbilts.
This, taken in connection with the ag
gressiveness of the Vanderbilt agents,
tends to confirm a belief that they are
anxious to see Mr. Cleveland nominated.
The anti-snap platform presented to the
convention denounces tlie republican
party and the billion dollar congress ;
contrasts Clevelands' administration
favorably ; declares that New York shall
not be a blank space on the democratic
map ; then denounces the McKinley act
at length in its effect on commercial de
velopements. The silver plank is as
follows: We approve of the use of
both gold and silver as money, but de
mand that all . dollars whether ' gold or
silver, shall be equal in value to each
other, in fact as well as by declaration of
law. We are opposed to the free coinage
of silver by the United States alone at
the existing ratio of 16 to 1 because we
do not believe that free coinage at that
ratio will produce an eqality of real Value
between the gold and the silver dollar.
The platform then takes up the demo
cratic factional fight in "New York, and
without mentioning names, denounces
the methods employed in calling the
midwinter convention by Hill's friends.
Washixgto.v, " June : ' 1. Yesterday
afternoon the bill to . provide for the
iree coining oi saver was taken up in
the senate. There were then about a
dozen senators on each side of the cham
ber. Sherman, had been in his seat for
the preceding half hour waiting for the
bill. Teller and Stewart were also pres
ent in frequent consultation. Sherman
prefaced the speech on the silver bill by
saying that he did not regard it as a par
tisan measure, or a political measure, on
which the parties would likely divide.
It was largely a local measure. There
was no -question to be compared with it
in importance, or in its effects on the
business interests of the countrv.

broken. The body is now lying in the
morgue awaiting the arrival of the rela
tives. Over 100 people are out search

two boys, but thus lar not a trace of
them has been found. The river still
continues very high.

St. Locif, May 27. Hnry Shelton is
pretty well known among the young
men of Olive street who take rides with
drivers out for a spin through the park.
Y'esterday Shelton got on the seat of a
furniture van with the driver, a friend
of his, named Jack. Jack drove for a
warehouse on Olive street, whose owner
calls it the "Pantechnicon.", "How do
you pronounce the name of that ware
house of yours?" asked Shelton. "The
Pantechnicon," said Jack. Shelton
made an effort to repeat the word, gasped
and fell sideways off the seat. Jack
caught him bv the coat with one hand,
stopped the horse and let Shelton down
to the street. Then, jumping down af
ter him, be found that Shelton was dead.
A bloodvessel in his heart had been rup
tured. The doctors say it was caused
by the effort to pronounce the, word.
Shelton was colored and ignorant, and
it is believed the combination of physi
cal and mental labor involved in the
pronunciation was the cause of the
rupture.

New York, June , 2. Ex-Senator
Thomas C. Piatt whose opposition to
President Harrison's nomination is no
secret, when seen today regarding the
interview with the president in which
Mr.. Harrison was reported as saying
that he did not believe "individual dig
appointment" would control the action
of the convention at Minneapolis, said
The remarks about 'individual disap
pointment' indicate how thoroughly the
president misapprehends the. nature of
the opposition to. his candidacy, and how
wise is the American system of frequent
changes in the personnel of the govern
ment. "It is astonishing how quickly
and how easily is the process by which a
man comes to look upon the . office he
holds as his private property. He be
comes accustomed to the homage which
follows in its train, and regards it as
little less than impious to suggest that
he had better make way for another.
The president cannot understand how a
man can be a good citizen without offer
ing a prayer night and day for the re
election of Benjamin Harrison. He
does not conceive it to be morally possi
ble for any one to oppose him, except
from bad, selfish and revengeful motives,
Now I am what cor mugwump
friends delight to stigmatize as an un
practical politician. I look at things as
they really are. The president says in
this interview that he has acted con
scientiously in the discharge of his pub
lic duties. It is far from me to question
that. I am more than willing to sub
scribe to really enthusiastic praise of his
administration. It certainly has done
great things,, but the , president should
not assume that he is the only man who,
since 1889, has contributed to its achiev
ments. He is only one of many states
men who conjointly have labored to thei-
country's hbnor and advantage. Blaine
gave us the last attractive and popular
feature to our policy the magnificent
scheme of reciprocity, which" bas saved
to the people $80,000,000 of taxation
here, and on their exports half as much
more in the foreign countries where they
are sent. He has extended our foreign
trade not less than $75,000,000, and
promises soon to do vastly more than that.
Now, if I remember rightly, when Blaine
sent to the president his pan-American
report, proposing reciprocity, Mr. Harri
son forwarded it to congress with some
thing like a sneer. In short, be threw
cold water on reciprocity. .
Later, when Blaine's public letters
demonstrated that the people were with
him and his great policy, and when con
gress put it into- law : and Brazil gave
Blaine a treaty, the president went
starring through the south, saying very
much about the glories of reciprocity
and very little about the statesman who
contrived iti: Reciprocity is the brightest
jewel in the erown of this- administra
tion ; but whose jewel is it? This admin
istration settled the Samoan difficulty
with Germany ; that was a particularly
ugly and delicate affair and undoubtedly
great credit is due to the republican
government' which adjusted it so
promply, so neatly and so advantag
eously. I dare say the president should
come in for his share of the credit, but
it was not he who drew the instructions
under which our commissioners acted,
and it was certainly they who did the
business. They were able men. K as son
is a most experienced diplomat, . Phelps
is a man of great tact and descretion,
and Bates, Mr. Bayard's friend from
Delaware,' bad been to Samoa
and ..knew all about the situation.
It was a victory for the . Harrison ad
ministration, but we must not wholly
forget Blaine, Kansas, Phelps and Batts.
The Chilian affair was also a victory,
and the president was . highly con
spicuova at the finish, but even there he-
must divide honors with the secretary oi
the navy, who built and armed cruisers
between nightfall and morning for two
weeks before the Chilians were down on
their knees in abject apology, and with
Commander Evans, whose martial de
meanor gave the Chilean admiral a ter
rible cramp. We must not leave out
Tracy and Evans. ''This administration
has vindicated the honor of the Ameri-'
can hog. Now for the first time in
twenty years American meat products are
admitted in every European market on.
the same terms with the meat products
of other lands, and in some markets on
terms even more favorable. I have had
some difficulty in figuring out just who
bas done this. Certainlv it was done
primarily by the agents 'of the state de
partment : by MiniPter Reid in France,
Phelphs in Germany, by Minister Grant
in Australia, and by other ministers. If
I remember correctly, Mr. Reid began
this work with a hostile Parisianrees,
a hostile French public, a hostile cham
ber f deputies and, at thefirt, a hostile
government to contend with. He gave
such a character to the American hog
as to enable it to force ite wav not only
into the irench market, but into every
other. No my excellent friend, Secre
tary Rusk' has said that he is very much
obliged to Mr. Blaine and the state
department for the able , assistance
they have rendered to him in securing
the admission of American meat pro
ducts abroud. This seems to me that it
was Rusk who did it.
"In a recent speech, the president
himself said that this result had been
accomplished, in such complacent terms
as to make me fear . that Rusk bad
counted without his host; but wbetherit
Lwas done by the president or by Rusk,
the republican party and the country
will not be likely to forget that Blaine
was in the state department, that Reid
was at Paris, that Phelps was at Berlin,
ana that their relation to, the victory.
was not altogether mechanical.
"It might be said perhaps that thfl
credit of the achievements wrought by
republican statesmen belongs especially
to the president on the ground that he'
gave those great men to the party ; but
did he? Certainly it was not Harrison
who made Blaine, nor did he make
Reid, nor William McKinley, nor John
Sherman, nor Allison, nor Aldrich, nor
Frye, nor Hale. I guess mavbe he did
make Noble and Miller, and I shall not
object to his having all the credit which
attaches to their careers ; but the point
I wish to bring out is that ours is a gov
eminent of parties, and not a govern
ment of men. The president's error lies
in assuming that he has done it all.
"He asks the country to Eee in him
the inspirator and creator of nil that
has-brought process and happiness1 to
the people since he began to reside in
the White House ; he attributes to uim
self all the glorious achievements of the
last congress, quite ignoring the superb
genius whose strong arm and clear head
turned havoc into order and made the
feeble- majority of three or four the
most prolific and successful body of law-
inakera'that ever sat in congress. The
McKinley bill, the customs act, the
shipping bill, the pension law, the navy
construction laws, the' fortification law,
the army reform acts, the wonderful leg
lslation which the republican majority
of that congress formulated, and which
Thomas B. Reed's resolute will enabled
them to enact, Mr. Harrison attributes
to himself, and savs: "See what i have
done."
