WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our own correspondent.!
Wasiiixotox, D. C, March 7, 189C.
From very early days of my life I have
been more or less familiar with the won
derful and magnificent building to which
the eyes of all patriotic Americans tarn
and which is the objective point of many
pilgrimages. It is an old and famili-tr
structuro and although I can, in a gen
eral way, say : "I know it like a book,"
yet like eome books I know I never torn
the old well read pages but I discover
new sentiments and thoughts.
I was in the representatives' old hall, a
few days ago, to take a glance at the new
statue to be presented by the State of
Wisconsin, the marble effigy of Pere
Marquette, which mute, and inanimate,
has caused much tongue wanting and
will doubtless be the cause of more.
Not far from where that vexatious in
tetjection is placed there is a pellicular
spot which always demands my atten
tion whenever I am passing that way or
have occasion to linger among the conn
terfeit presentments of the great and
uood ol former days.
Louulersunk into a ui.trtiio nag is a
simple memento, trodden under foot of
men, a mere piece ol brass, bearing an
inscription which could not porfibly be
more lacojic and serve a purpose, tt is
only "HERE" with that word sur
rounded by a circle showing "John
Qniney Adams, Feb. 21, 184S."
I well remember hearing tuv father
speak of that event on the day of its
occurrence and I saw the subsequent
funeral pageant, in this city of Wapbiog
ton, now nearly half a century ago.
Turning to tho congressional records
of that day we learn that Senator Davie,
of Massachusetts, in pronouncing a brief
eologium upon the deceased said: "It
is believed to have been the earnest
wish of heart to die like like Chatham,
in the mtdst ot bis labors. He
fell in hts seat, attacked by paralysis of
which he before had been a victim. To
describe the scene which ensued would
be impossible. It was more than the
spontaneous gnsh of feeling which all
such eventb call forth, so much to the
honor of our nature. AH gath
ered round the sufferer, and the strong
sympathy and deep feeling which mani
tested itself showed that the business of
the house (which was instantly ad'
journed) was forgotten amid the distress'
ing anxieties ol the moment, lie was
soon removed to the apartment of the
speaker, where be remained surrounded
by ofllicteJ friends till the weary clay
resigned its immortal spirit. 'This is
the end of earth.' Brief but emphatic
words. They were among the last ut
tered by the dying Christian."
Was it not a tritle singular that bo
many years after and on or about the
date of tho recent anniversary of the
passing of that venerable man, my labors
called mo, (or the first time, to what is
now the office of the clerk of the honse
There I saw a bracket surmounted by a
sculptured marble bust below which is on
a plain white table is graven, in English
letters:
Jonx Qcixcv Adams,
ho alter mty years ot public service
the last sixteen in yonder hall was sum'
moned thence to die in this room, 23
February, 1S43.
And this set me a thinking the sure
swing of the scytho of the grim old
reaper seemed to bo the only way that
this man could get his limit. Public life
was not altogether alluring to him, if we
believe his own words, and who can
doubt them? But the people of Massa
chusetts who have always been worldly
wiso, compelled him even after he had
been president to becomo their represen
tivo, and no man'can tell how raanyfyears
would havo been added to the sixteen
had not tho great roll call summoned
him away, and this muti was a Christian
besides being a politician and a states
man prominently beforo tho world for so
many years.
Politics is the business of a nation
and office holders are the agents selected
to discharge that business. The peopl
of a stale should be governed in their
choico of public servants by the same
rulo of conduct that is nppliod to the at
faira of an individual. Industry and ex
perience should bo given first considora
tiod. Ho who is industrious and expe
rienced is best lilted to discharge the
duties of a position with credit to himself
and honor and bono lit to his constitu
ents. Public ctlico, properly regarded, should
bo considered u public trust aud not an
object of privaln pelf. Rotation in offico
may bo very pleasant aud highly ealis-
laclory to the lew individuals who are
benefitted thereby, but it is a very bad
thing for the slate that sutlers by the
rotation. A man with a complicated
business would bo thought very unwise j
if he 'discharged a faithful clerk who
knew all tho ins and oat;, the turns and
windings of that business, to employ in
his place one ignorant of them. Even i'
his new employe were more able, more
brilliant than lib predecessor, his ability
and brilliancy would not weigh in one
case out of a hnndred, against the expe
rience of his predecessor. Such a
change, under any circumstances, wonld
bo precarious and of donbtfnl advan
tage, and wbero the ability of the two
parties weighed nearly even, it would be
tbo height of folly to make it.
Seekers for congressional honors in
Oregon, are at this time about 03 nu
merous as flies in fly time. Some of
them are, without doubt, scholarly gen-
themen, equal in natural attainments
perhaps to tho piesent delegation.
Their ambition is natural and laudable.
They would like to shine in public life,
they would like to bo more honored and
respected, if that is possible, by their
fellow men, and if, tho people of Oregon
are going to run their political affairs on
sentiment, on the proposition of "give
some other fellow a show," on the prop
osition, public office is private pelf, then
they should give some one or another of
these gentlemen a chance. But it will
not be business any more than it is busi
ness for a man to endorse, out of the sim
ple kindness of his heart, another mau's
note. He generally has to pay the note
and so in this case the people of Oregou
would pay the price.
It should not be a question of friend
ship for members of tiie present dele
gation or for Mr. Jones or Mr. Smith or
Mr. Brown. Friendship is not business
it is something outside of business and
politics is business. The question eyery-
sensible man should pot to himself is
whether Oregon would be benefitted or
in ured by a change.

BEHIND TIME AS USUAL.
Tho Review has just discovered that
California has a law allowiug tax payers
to pay their 'taxes in semi-anual install
ments, and in its issue of tho 9th inst.,
suggests that "our representatives in the
coming legislature should bo instructed
to work for this very reasonable meas
ure."
Our representatives in the last cession
of the legislature knew that California
bad such a law, and tne idea was incor
porated in the tax law- which passed the
house, this idea will be found in section
tion S3 of House bill 13, and is as fol
lows: "Provided, persons owning prop
erty, or authorized by this act to pay
taxes on the same, shall have the option
to pay their taxes in semi-annual pay
ments by 'presenting themselves to the
county treasurer or other persons author
ized bv law to collect taxes at anv time
prior to the first day of February and
paying the one half part of all taxes duo
on any property according to its descrip
tion on the tax rolls. Thereupon its
balance of the taxes on said description
shall not have the penalty added too or
collected until tne first day of September
thereafter."
The members from Dooglas conntv all
voted for this "very reasonable meas
ure" upon their own good judgment and
without any instructions.
YOU WILL WEAR DIAMONDS.
The Review note poses before the pub
lic as the adviser of the republican party
We are truly thankful for its "advice to
the g. o. p." and receive it in all meek
ness and hnmility.
We are willing to admit that the very
highest degree of intelligence has not
always been manifested in the cam
paign work of the party, and believe that
suggestions from such a high source, will
without a doubt contribute largely to re
publican success at tho polls. No true
republican will dare question the motives
of the Review, nor doubt that it will gen'
eronsly support the republican nomi
nees, from the head of the ticket to the
tail.
ibe muendoes, invectives ana abuse
hurled at Mr. Hermann and other repub
licans during tho last six years should
not bo remembered in the face of such
self sacrificing generosity; they should
be attributed to ihe eflVryeseent exuber
ance of adolescence, tather than the iu
breeding of blind, unreasoning, morbid
hate of all good which may emanate from
tho ropublicau party.
Tho talented young journalist has
doubtless experienced a chaugo of heart
consequent upon tho eloquent efforts of
tho Rev. Ray Palmer, and views now
with eluggish indifference the success or
defeat of the patty on whose success his
very existence depends. He has enjoyed
the city, county and federal suppott for
years aud under tho influence of Mr.

Palmer'B magic eloquence he Is willing
and anxious to let tho county offices and

His numerous and influential "old lino

been instrumental in effecting this sur
prising metamorphosis.

feeling he does not caro to see the or
ganization broken up, thus making dem
ocratic victory a certainty. Bv no

tion, he will renounce all hopes of par

We again thank the Review for its he

a reliable and valuable ally for the com

Primary Meetings.
There are a few persons who contin
ually find fault with the nominees placed
upon a ticket by the County Convention
because persons are nominated they dis
like, and then they go around piping
"ring rule." If the people would only
turn out at the primaries and choose
delegates to represent them in the Con
vention from every rural precinct they
would burst all such "ring rules." But
they to often keep aloof from the pri
maries and this makes "ring rule," a
possibility. The Plaixdeaj.eb urges the
electors in every precinct to turn out the
23th and see that men are chosen who
will represent them. This is the only
way to make a true representative ticket.
Such a course becomes your duty as well
as your privilege. If, however, you
stay away from the primaries yon hae
no one but yourselves to blame if the
ticket does not meet your app-oval.
Electors, a great responsibility rests up
on each aud every voter in his party to
turn out and be present at your primary
meetings and demand that the delegates
sent to the convention, shall name only
good men for the several offices to be
filled. But if you stay away, you should
accept with good grace the ticket made.
So we repeat if, attend the primaries
and demand your rights.
Reduced to Desperation.
The Salem Statesman askes the mo
mentous question. Can. ths "favorite
sons' forces from the different counties
unite?" and then adds: "There should
be a determination to do so." Yes, that
is a pretty scheme, for all Mr. Her
mann's opponent to uniteto dog him off
the track and then go to fighting, like
hyenas over a dead stag.
Yes, that is fine politic?.- These sev
eral opponents of Mr. Hermanu know
they stand no show unless they com Dine
their forces against him. If they can
prevent hU nomination at Albany on.
the first ballot, then thsj will rejoice
and take courae crying out: "You
see, Mr. Hermann hadn't a majority is
not the choice of the psople." And with,
false cries on their lips will try to force
Mr. Hermann's frien ic into line and join
one of the combination.
A Sudden Change of Front.
Last week's Review generously

eludes to accord to ilia A. P. A.

This tacit admission of the justice of
our cause is most unexpected. Wo

paign against us in accordance with the
recognized customs and usages cf civil
ized journalism.

If the Statesman had added to the last
