THE SUNDAY OltEGONIAN, PORTLAND", NOVEMBER 18, 1900. 0 VIEWS OF ELECTION SEERS BRIEF REVIEWS OF SOME OF THEIR lUlorHECIES. - prolcer and HI 2lrthol of Doing Politic Washington Did Wr.ll to Return Republican Cougrensuicn. WASHINGTON. Nov. 12. There ought to be a cay of oblivion Into -which could be thrown politicians who make falso predictions and extravagant claim. Per haps a great many- of our friends could be thrown into this cave, but at the same time it seems so absurd for men to make such claims as were made in 1KK. and again in 1&00. The best unbiased Judg ment of men who have bad experience in making political observations was that this year UcKlnley would carry every state he carried before, with the excep tion of Kentucky, and that he would wrest from Bryan the states of Kansas, South Dakota, Wyoming. Washington, and one vote In California, It was also predicted that Nebraska would be very close, and possibly some of the mountain state, notably Utah, might be found in the Republican column, but, generally speaking. It was believed that they were extremely doubtful. As a result of the sizing up of the situation, all those men who claimed to know something about the conditions gave McKInley 281 elector al votes. That was the New York Her ald's poll. But long before the Herald made Its poll, others made a similar guess. So the Herald had no copyright on this prediction. In spite of all .these facts, many went along predicting McKln ley's defeat and Bryan's success. Men who were discredited four years ago came out bluntly and made their predic tions this year. Whether these predic tions were made for the purpose of keeping up the hearts of the Democrats to the sticking point cannot be told, but what use there could be in keeping up the heart of Democracy when they knew the Democracy was defeated cannot be surmised. GsexRcd "Wronff In 1802. This recalls the fact that some of the men of the Republican party made some pretty rash predictions In 1S32. Tom Car ter was managing the campaign as chair man of the National committee, and he. with many others, was deceived. It Is well to be remembered, however, that the betting was even In that campaign, and In fact at times odds were on Harri son, so the gamblers and men who were willing to risk money on their political Judgment were somewhat deceived, But the old war horses of the Republican party, like Piatt and Quay, came down and took a sniff of the situation, and went away knowing what was goln'g to happen, and some other political observers out side of New York felt that the condi tions were such as to preclude the possi bility of Harrison's success. In fact, a number of newspaper men who were present at the convention in 1892 at Min neapolis and saw Blaine go down to de feat for the last time, and Harrison nominated by a slim majority with the votes of the colored gentlemen from the Solid South, felt sure that there was little hope of Republican suocess. It was In this campaign that Quay went over to visit headquarters, and as he was going home remarked to a reporter that it would be the most one-sided campaign since 1S72. The reporter, however, forgot until Quay was across the ferry and on the train at Jersey City, that he. had failed to state In Tho?o favor It would be one-sided. Here in Washington all of the Administration officials believed firm ly In Harrison's re-election, and many of "them rl6lfed money on It. It is interesting to note, however, that men who were so much at fault In 1592 $700 In Gold For Any Case Undertaken That He Cannot Permanently Cure, WEAK MEN If you have indulged In errors or excesses, get' over the evil effects of such folly. Free yourselves from the miseries of exhaust ing drains, impotenc', atrophy or casting away of the organs, lost man hood; weak, aching back, frequent painful urination and sediment in urine, pimples, nervousness, Bleeplessnoss, despondency, stupidity, loss of ambi tion, or slmiler symptom of physical, mental and sexual weakness, which render you unable to enjoy some of the keenest pleasures of life. You will find DR. KESSLER will be your best friend. He has had as much experi ence and as great success in the treatment of such diseases as any other spe cialist on the American continent. He will fit you for study, business and marriage and send you out Into the world "with new life. SUFFERING WOMEN If man's glory is his strength, woman's pride Is her beauty. Beauty is impossible without health. If you want a clear complexion, rosy cheeks, sparkling eyes, glossy hair, you must rid yourself of all such debilitating ailments as falling or displacement of the womb, painful, irregular, scanty or profuse menses, periodical headaches, leucorrhea, nervousness and hysteria. Do not continue to suffer and sink. Lay aside your feelings of delicacy for one time and in sacred confidence tell everything to DR. KESSLER, who would build up your broken-down constitution and Insure to you your natural health, strength and beauty. HE CURED ME OF CATARRH "I had catarrh for a long time. It affected my hearing and throat, and there were growths in my nose that almost closed it Dr. Kessler's new treatment Is splendid. I never tried anything that helped so quick. I am recommending it all my friends."

No incurable cases taken. Correspondence strictly confidential Enclose 10 2-cent stamps when writing. HE CURED ME OF DEAFNESS "My deafness came on about four years ago, with ringing noises In the head, which troubled me greatly. I had to ask people to talk louder when speaking to me, and around the table I could only hear the sound of voices, but could not catch a word. My hearing rapidly improved under Dr. Kessler's treatment I now hear, and the ringing noises have stopped." HE CURED MY STOMACH- "Before I wrs treated by Dr. Kess ler my stomach was very sore. The severe pains, bloating and sour risings were awful. I lost 3 poinds In a year. 1 thank God It was my fortune to go to this great doctor, who cured me In two months." OUT-OF-TOWN PEOPLE-Patlents living away from the city, who cannot conveniently call for prsonal consultation, may describe their troubles by letter and have medicines sent to them, free from, observation, to any part of the world.

People afflicted with any disease whatsoever should write to Dr. Kess-. ler, 2801-2 Yamhill street, Portland. , , . . , , f were the most nervous people you ever saw In 1900. More than a hundred men I met who "were intensely anxious to Tiave .McKlnley elected, expressed the greatest fear that Bryan would sweep the country. Asked for reasons, they would explain that in 1SS2 everything was prosperous, laboring men were better paid than at any time previous, and thai all condi tions were such as to Insure tha elec tion of a President who had a pros perous and successful administration. At the same time, they said, Har rison was defeated overwhelmingly. Those men who had been so sure of Harrison then were anxious about the present situation, although experienced observers declared that McKlnley was going to have more electoral votes than he had in 1S66. The trouble with these men was that they could not realize the difference between Grover Cleveland and William J. Bryan. The people were not afraid of Cleveland. They believed him honest, and were sure that he would give the country the best administration he could, and that ho was not a revolution ist. The vote Indicates that a great many people feared Bryan. The fact is the two men were so entirely different that there could be no comparison be tween the campaign of 1592 and tho cam paign of 1900. A to Croker. A great many people were deceived by Croker's predictions. They could not un derstand Croker's claims unless he felt sure in his own mind of what he was talking about. Mx observation of Croker is that he is a fathead politician outside of the City of New York. His success In New York has been of that sort which comes from the division of his opponents. Now Croker had 72 votes at his disposal In Kansas City, and he used them in the most stupid manner. With these 72 votes and the combination from the other large states, he could, with nerve, probably have prevented 16 to 1 going In the plat form. As It was he accepted the Ipse dixit of the sagebrush states, aided by Hawaii, and no fight was made In the convention, because Ccoker decreed that It should not be made. The way he slashed around with his fight on the Vlce Pre&ldency was another absurd affair. While he may yet be a great leader Jn New York City, he has never been suc cessful In the state at large, and the party has succeeded in spite of Croker rather than through his efforts, when it has been successful. A little review will show that after Croker had had absolute control of New York for a short time the Republicans .carried the state and elected the late William I Strong Mayor. Then came the Greater New York legislation, which placed all of the municipalities sur rounding New York harbor under one government. The Republicans Tvere In power in Manhattan, the most populous borough, and in a position to be suc cessful, but a deadlpck ensued, the in dependents insisted upon Seth Low and the Republicans on Benjamin F, Tracey. There was too much Piatt machine in the latter and too much Mugwump-Independent in the former to suit all parties. Henry George ran as a separate candi date, and Croker's man was elected, al though he did not have a majority over alL It was shoiln that the Low forces and the Tracy forces united would have had a. plurality. More than this, had there been a 'unification of the Republic ans, they would probably have carried the city as against Tammany, because there was a thorough disgust with Tammany, but as soon as It was observed that there was division in the Republican party, and that neither they nor the Independents could win. all big corporations, all big concerns, all contractors, and everybody that had favors to ask of a big munici pality, at once swung Into line for Croker's candidate in order to reap the benefit of it. That was regarded as a great success for Croker. It was. He has. made millions out of it. But it was jiot an evidence of his successful political leadership. His predictions, however, de ceived many men, and many of his (Tie-ncis nnd manv Democrats throughout the country lost money on his predic tions. Whether he believed what he was saying or not is something that will probably never be known. Nothing but a DEPOSITED IN THE BANK declaration from himself to that effect would be believed. The State of Washington has taken, a wise step In returning its present mem bers of Congress. In. tha brief term of service they have been unable to make much of a record. No member can make a record In a single session. Yet as far as they have gone they have earned nothing but favorable comment among Republicans. The fact that they are re turned will Insure better committee places for both in the coming Congress, both being sadly in need of better as signments. Mr. Cusnmaiu it is true, sprung into some little prominence dur ing the past session, first through his speech on the financial bill, and later through his bold utterance in Boston In denunciation of anti-expansion, which had taken such a root among those peo ple, and his unmistakable reference to Senator Hoar. He was criticised some because It was thought unbecoming in a new member to attack an old Senator. These starters will give him an advan tage at the opening of the next Con gress, and be will be free to speak when and where he pleases. Mr. Jones, through his service on ths committer on merchant marine and fisheries, has estab lished himself firmly with the Influen tial members of the House. He has shown himself to be a man whose Judg ment Is to be sought and respected, and while not aggressive, has exerted some little Influence upon legislation in which he was interested. Both representatives made remarkably rood records with their own measures which wore introduced, and having been re-elected, will be In a better position to secure the passage of some of the bills which are now hung up In committee or on the calendar. The fact that a member is to be returned to the next House adds greatly to his Influ ence during the last session of his first term, and helps his legislation Immensely. Clerks Willing to Loaf. "It don't take much to detract the", at tention of the clerks In some of the gov ernment departments," said an old news paper man the other day. "I have been In and about the departments in Wash ington for a gpod many years now, and there are very few of them where the clerks as a body apply themselves as clerics are required to do In a private business institution. It Is partly be causo their chiefs are lenient with them, and more particularly because there seems to be a general sentiment among Gov ernment clerks thafthey are to do as lit tle as possible In the course of the day, and are constantly looking for some tr.v lal excuse to leave their desks for a time.. But the most remarkable Instance of tin's kind I have ever witnessed was the other day in the Postofflce Depart ment, which, by the way, has the reputa tion of being the easiest berth for -Government olerks in Washington. You will remember that the new Postofflce Depart ment Is built in the form of a hollow square, with an Immense court in the in terior. Just outside this court are the corridors on each floor, with frequent openings for light and ventilation. In fact, there are more openings than pilas ters. Well, through the suggestion of one in authority. It was decided to o-na-ment the Interior skylight, covering the flrst floor of the court with large palms, and a number of fine large" trees "were sent down from the Botanical Gardens. So bulky were they and so difficult to place In position that a large force of laborers were emplojed the better part of two days in placing the palms jn their stands. I happened to so through while one extra large palm was being swung Into position, and glancing around tho sides of the cour.t was struck by the large number of clerks, who had deserted their desks to watch the laborers. You may not believe it but out of curiosity I counted them and found exactly 123 clerks idly looking on. You qan figure out for yourself how much good timo was wasted when you remember that this in teresting work occupied two entire days. And yet Government, clerks want some thing easier." A very pathetic letter was received at the War Department from the mother of a young soldier who died In the Phlllp- RSON OR BY 'MAIL TODAY, IT MAY SAVE YOUR Lii MEDICINES fc 21 YEARS Jl I by the Doctor 1' Diseases in Himself W$r " Portland I , IBl YOU The Successful Physician!

Hundreds unable to go to Portland are cured at home with his new system." j pines. It appears from the letter that the young man wanted to come home, j and his mother made every effort to get I him discharged, but acting upon the ne 1 cessttles of the case, all applications for discharge were referred to the officers in' command In the Philippines, and this young soldier was kept on duty. It ap pears also from the letter that he was a very bright young man and had been promoted as a corporal and placed in charge cf census work that was .being done by the Army. The mother w-itf-s that the young man never knew what it was to do any work or suffer any priva tion previous to the time that he en listed in the Army. From her point of view everybody connected with tta War Department was extremely cruel In not allowing her son to be discharged, and she also held them responsible for his death. Of course the poor woman was simply hysterical, but if there were thou sands vof women In this country taking this same pos'tlon. It would have a terri ble effect upon those who are not yery much interested in the retention of the Philippines. Of course it Is true that th's young man did not have to enlist, and It was purely a voluntary act on hl3 part. At the same time the fact that ho was re fused a discharge, 'and afterwards died, gives the mother reason to believe that the War Department had acted In a cruel and Inhuman manner. The difference be tween the sacrifice of a son In the Phil ippines and the sacrifice of one In the Civil War Is very apparent. Nearly very woman who cave up some one for the preservation of the Union felt that she was doing a patriotic duly, but the Philippines are too far away to make any body believe that there Is much patriot ism in the fighting that is going on. This Is "the reason that there has grown up a considerable amount of opposition to the retention of the Islands. At the same time the place of the young man who Is now mourned by his mothor will be filled by some other young man who is anxious to try tho fortunes, of war and take his chances as a soldier In the Philippines or anywhere, else. Ttusineis on Business Principles. Year after year it is demonstrated that there Is one man in the Government serv ice who does business on business prin ciples. I refer to Brigadier-General F. C. AInsworth, chief of the records and pension division of the War Department, who has charge of all -of the records re lating to soldiers, not only of the Civil War, but of 'the Spanish War and of the more recent' war in the Philippines. His report for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1900, shows that every case referred to him for report had been acted upon at that date, making a clean record for his office. General AInsworth has so system atized his office that work Is carried on without any delay, and the result Is that everything coming to tho records and pension division Is speedily cleared up. From the time he has had control of that cfllce ho inaugurated business methods nnd has maintained It ever since. In .sUad of becoming unpopular as an ofilcer, he has "been promoted flrst from the rank of Major to Colonal, and from Colonel tor Br.ijadler-Goneral. by special acts of Congress. This has taken place In the face of the Intense opposition of some of the clerks employed under him, a number of whom have tried In every way to cast aspersions upon him as in officer, and to create a prejudice against him. It Is found upon Investigation, flow ever, that It was the drones and Incom petents that made the complaints. First class clerk3 are promoted, while the In competents are relegated to tho raar In this division. It Is the one division In the Government service where men must give value received for the money they draw in working for the Government. This Is one reason why he has bsen en abled to keep his work up to date, the year round, and why there are no com plaints against that particular branch of the service. ARTHUR W. DUNN.

Doors Open, Messenger" Appear nnd Disappear at the Right Moment, - and Jill "Without a Word. . A WASHINGTON, Ndv. 10. The State Department Is bounded by a " gloomy corridor. Into which Hjht never pene trates, except fitfully, even on the sun niest days, says a writer In the Now York Times. Generalsy It Is deserted, except for-a few colored men sitting at desks with electric lamps over themv which are usually lighted, even In the daytime. Thoy seem to have, nothing to do, but are alert. They aro the messen gers of the various officials. Nobody can got by them. Nobody whom the officials do not want to see ever sees them. The doors of the offices are some distance away, from the messengers, and there is apparently nothing to prevent an un welcomo visitor from walking In. Should he try it, he will Instantly find his way barred. Occasionally a door opens and there la a sudden flood of light, showing that the State Department ly not as gloomy as It seems. The offices are sunny and cheer ful enough, and look out on a fine view of the city. But to the casual visitor nothing can seem more repellant nnd for bidding than this broad, dark larc-, marked on each side by ugly looking doors. Suddenly there Is a total absence of the scattered colored men who a mo ment ago were sitting with nothing to do at their electrlc-Hghted desks. This In dicates the arrival of a diplomat. No one has said a word to the messenger whom you were watching a moment ago; no bell has been rung, no signal given, but he Is gone. The diplomat Is probably entering the building, on a lower floor, at that moment. The system of telegra phy existing among these messengers Is quick, accurate and silent. A waving hand at one end of the corridor has con veyed a volume of Information to the whole staff. A few moments later there Is a lino of meHsengers along the corridor. They have suddenly sprung Into sight again, but now they are standing. This Indicates that the diplomat Is In the diplomatic ante-room and Is waiting the Secretary's pleasure. The diplomatic ante-room is a little room at one end of the corridor. The Secretary's office is in the middle. Unloss tho observer Is 'exceptionally sharp-eyed he has not seen the diplomat enter the corridor at 'all, so quick and effective Is tho work of the messengers. Secretnry Receives the Diplomat. Presently the same silent telegraphy gives notice that the Secretary is In the diplomatic room. This Indicates that he Is ready to receive the diplomat. If the observer is a close watcher he will now see the , diplomatic ante-room open Its door ana a man step across the corridor. A door Instantly bloses behind him. the messengers are at their desks and the diplomat is laying what he has before the Secretary. In the same silent nnd I mysterious manner the signal Is con veyed wlien he comes out again; doors open, the messenger being always at hand at the right moment, and he posse's from the diplomatic room Into the State Department elevator. Sometimes a bell rings; a messenger Instantly appears at tho State Depart ment door, and at the same moment a man is seen coming down the corridor. This man Is the Secretary's stenogra pher. This Indicates, usually, that the diplomat has an oral statement to make, which must be taken down, and some times it means that the Secretary Is to make his reply on the spot. This was the course pursued when the Boer emis saries laid their case before Secretary ' Hay. They stated their case orally, and Mr. Hay made his teply In the sama way. The Russian propositions aro al ways presented orally. It Is the custom of the Russian Government never to make a proposition in writing. It was this that led to a mistake which set somo of the newspapers on a wrong scent on the Russian proposition to withdraw from Pekin. Russia proposed to with draw to Tien Tsin. M. de Wolhint, the Chargo d'Affalrcs. presented the propo sition orally. It was received by Alvey A. A dee, who was thenr acting as Secre tary of State, and he Issued to the press a statement that Russia wished to with draw from China. Mr. Adee's summary of the Russian proposition was dictated to a stenographer. He Is hard of hear ing, and probably did not understand the proposition correctly. How Answers Are Submitted. When an answer is to be submitted It is usually cabled at once to the Ameri can representative abroad for submission to the governments to which they are accredited. In seme cases where circum stances make It advisable state papers are presented tp the foreign representa tive at Washington. In such a case and tho Chjneso Minister was generally the one to whom such communications were made the Minister Is usually noti fied and calls at the State Department for tho papen During the absence of Mr. Hay and Assistant Secretary Hill, the dlplomatlo Interchanges had a variation of a kind rare In the history of the Republic. The foreign diplomat, with a communication from his government, would appear at the diplomatic' ante-room and wait the pleasure of Mr. Adee. Ushered Into Mr. Adee's presence, he wotrld submit his paper, and the Acting Secretary of State would bow him out with all due solem nity. As soon as tho diplomat was gone "Mr. Adce would be seen emerglne' from his office and hastening to tho War De partment with tho paper in his hand. He would there be at once admitted to tho presence of Secretary Root, who would receive the paper and take action upon It Mr. Root was really the head of the Government at this time. The foreign diplomats all knew of the state of things and well understood that the papers which they presented were going to a man whom they could not see diplomat ically. Mr. Root was the man to whom they were to be submitted, but they never law him, and had to go through the form of submitting them to Mr. Adce. During the acute stage of the Chinese crisis the shadowy corridor was continu ally crowded with newspaper men. As soon as a diplomat mado his appearance he was tackled rnd asked for Informa tion. Sometimes it was -so dark that it was impossible to see who the diplomat was until he was close at hand, and the reporters became experts In recognizing a diplomat by his walk. The French. Japanese and Russian diplomats all walked alike with a quick, tripping step and were about the same size, so It was difficult to tell them apart. But there were two walks that could never be mia'taken Wu Ting Fang's and Lord Pauncefote's. Wu Ting Fang used to come bouncing out of the. Secretary office with a sailor like swing, which in an American wou'd suggest a devil-may-care, hall-fellow-well-met state of mind. He charged for tho elevator like a lightning flash. This is the way the energetic Chinaman does everything. His carriage is as different as. possible from that of an ordinary Chi naman, but equally different from that of a European or American. There Is no dignity In It, from an American stand point; but it is full of the assertion ana command which only a sense of superior ity and power can give a man. It Is Chi nese dignity. In the same rapid, assert ive fashion Mr. Wu speaks. There !s none of the celf-represslon in it which Americans associate with dignity, but it Is full of a decision and strength which commands respect. Loid Pauncefote walks like the stage Englishman. It Is impossible to regard that creation as a caricature after hav ing seen the British Ambassador. Henri KessSer Corner Second and Yamhill Streets Portland, Oregon.
