SENATOR HILL'S MXDDLESOMXHE8S
Leaders Who Will Not Kecognlxe Him
. to be , the Messiah Party "
Hatreds, etc.
.. Washington, April 25. All the talk
yesterday in places where partizans
most do congregate about tbe Capitol
city, was the actiou of the house, in
seating Rockwell, dem., after twelve out
of fifteen members of a democratic com
mittee had decided that he had no right
to the seat. The interference of Senator
Hill in the matter called down upon
him many satirical reproaches. He
saved Rockwell, that is true, said a
prominent New Yorker, and a democrat,
"But," he continued, "it was done" more'
for the purpose of saying Hill, later on.";
Then he told of Hill's experiences' in
1886, in. Brooklyn when he went into
the interior and boastfully declared : . "I
am a Democrat!" When the country
man dined with his city acquaintance at
the restaurant, and the latter ordered
ox-tail soup:- ?Wal, won," said the
countryman, "ain't that goinl a good
ways "back for soup?" When you re
MfcnlMi ifaiit" Hiil's ' boast of 1886. "I"
am a Democrat !" was uttered for the
express purpose of arousing the hostil
ity of unscrupulous and impatient spoils
men against the first National Demo
cratic administration in 24 years, evi
dently you need to go "a good ways
back'? for proof of Hill's genuine Dem
ocracy, unless we accept his mere asser
tion as evidence.. "The Daw's not
counted a religious bird, because he
keeps a-cawing from the' steeple;" and
ii view of Hill's equivocating utterances
and vicious methods, -he might repeat,
"I am a Democrat !" from now till
doomsday, and get the affidavit of his
followers to confirm it, and he wouldn't
persuade any more sensible people to
believe him than the colored crank in
Georgia last year persuaded people to
believe that, she was the new Messiah,
because she put a keroeene lantern on
her head for a halo, and declared,
"Suah's yo' bohn,I'sedesecon'comin'. "
'- Taking; the Proper Step.
' Pabis, April 25. The aspect of affairs
for the anarchists on May day, is not so
promising. The threat of the police to
strike on Saturday, unless their wages
were increased,' not only set the anarch
ists in high glee, but has aroused the au
thorities to a sense of the situation, and
there is a strong feeling in favor of an in
vestigation into some certain incidents
of recent occurrence, that the responsi
bility of the '.police may be ascertained,
in case that troubles are permitted on
May day, Against the irresponsible an
archist there is no insurance, unless it
be the insurance furnished by his insig
nificance and .poverty. A president, or
one. in authority to punish lawlessness,
is always a target for the anarchist, and
there f s no adequate defense against him
and his organized scheme of destruction.
This being true, it has been decided in
future to adopt measures of strict urgen
cy, and to be more vigilant by locking
up any persons who may have made
murderous threats. y
'A. Hard Political Job. .
New. Yoek, April 25. Referring to
the proposed part which White aw Reid
is expected to take in the coming presi
dential contest, to earn the position of
-minister to England,' the ; Tribune , says.
it is not the national , campaign,, but the
State of New York, which needs bis aid.
Mr. Gorman, . who ran the democratic
presidential campaign In 1884, Mr. Brice,
who ran it in 1888; and r Mr. Quay, who
ran the Republican campaign in the lat
teryear, have, all , been 'interviewed on
the ' Bubje6t; of' assuming' a' like- task
again,'' and they all say,' as with' one
voice, that once is enough, that no man
can in reason be asked to go through
such labor, such strain, such excitement,
such hopes and . fears, a second, time.
Any man who has ever had charge of an
important political campaign in a single
state, or county, or even city, and who
stops to thick what such a campaign for
the whole country." must mean, will say
that Messrs. Gorman,. Brice, and Quay
are quite right about it. There is a
limit to human endurance, and a reason
able doubt may be raised as to whether
any man will be able to handle the
present sort of political organization
even through one presidential campaign
after a few years moreof such growth as
the country has lately been having.
Sunday's Wind Storm.
Portland, April 25. Yesterday was
perhaps the worst April day for wind
and rain ever known in Oregon. Belated
winds are now trying to catch up, and
they are obliged to concentrate the
moderate action of a good many days
into unwonted energy for a great period.
Line repairers north, south, east and
west, had a busy time and all night job
repairing the wires. Some damage-was
done in Oregon City.
A Noted Blackmailer.
. Tacoma, April 24. Former residents
of Portland believe Mrs. Radloff and her
sister, Mrs. Wright, who figure in the
Seattle insurance scandal, were former
residents of Second street, between Col
umbia and Jefferson streets, Portland.
Both are adventuresses. The latter ex
torted $4,000 from a Portland capitalist
by blackmail four years ago.
Stockmen Ashamed of Them.
Douglas, Wyo., April .25. The gang
of hirelings sent into the interior to
drive out settlers in the interest of cattle
kings who want the earth, and about
whom so much has been written, reached
here safely yesterday in charge of the
27th Infantry. The demonstatfon which
they expected did not occur. They are
a. bard-looking set and the etockmep
seemed ashamed of them: The -party
was escorted to the fort and will be con
fined in the guard-bouse.
"- A Buffalo is Satisfied. .
Buffalo, N. Y., April 25. The Cour
ier commenting upon the course of Rep.
Holman, renominated for congress, says :'
"The people have tired of . the cranks
whose mania for spending. therjublip
uiuiiey gave ub ui luminous record OX
the Billion Congress." . "But, after
all," in another editorial, it says:
"Buffalo is well satisfied with the two
and a half million limit for her new fed
eral building. From pur 'point of view
the figures have a large and satisfying
sight and sound, for a sum so moderate
congress should pass. Buffalo's modest
little bill without delay or. cavil," and
thus continue the good work of a billion
dollar congress, adds the Express.
x Hidden Hoards In Odd Places.
Oneoxta, N. Y., April 25. Mrs.
Esther Crasper of the hamlet of War
nersville, died in January of the grip,
aged 101 years. She had lived on the
farm for more than 60 years, in company
with her son David and her daughter
Harriet. The three were industrious
and parsimonious, and were supposed,
to have saved money; The mother kept
the family cash. - A few days ago the
daughter died, leaving David, now an
old man, the eole survivor. . He knew
nothing of the. whereabouts of the fam
family treasures except that the' mother
was accustomed to secrete it' in out of
the way places.' Friends volunteered to
aid old David to search. The quest has
already been rewarded by finding $1,000
in greenbacks hidden away behind a
cupboard, and $400 in gold and $200 in
silver stowed away in a bole in the cel
lar wall. It is not doubted that further
search will reveal other hoards. - .
,. . Free Coinage Movement.
5 Washington, April 24. Senators Tel
ler, Morgan, Daniel and Sanders, are said
to have taken an active part during Ahe
past week in the secret proceedings of
the national silver committee, which
has been in session in this city. Twenty
states were represented, and it has been
said that the meeting was of more than
ordinary importance. Friends of Sena
tor Teller maintain that he will accept
the nomination upon a strictly financial
platform, provided the great -parties
nominate men unfriendly to free coin
age. A gentleman' familiar with the
movement-figures that Messrs. : Teller
and Polk would certainly be able to
carry the states of Georgia .Alabama,
North Carolina, South Carolina," Calif or7
nia, Nevada, Montana, -Nebraska, ' Kan
sas, Washington, and Idaho, have an
equal show with the other candidates in
Illinois, Missouri, Minnesota Arkansas
and Texas, and, if unable to secure elec
tion direct, they; could, at, least throw
the choice of a president into the., bouse
of representatives, where it is- claimed
the free-coinage candidate would be al
most certain of election. - ..

A Forecast of What May Yet be NeCess
ary for the United States.
HOW CHINA IS A PT TO HE MIS LIED.
Not Barbarous, Nor Alorally Obtuse,
Nor Intellectually Dull, Nur
Physically Weak.
Washington, April 25. The Chinese .
question is rapidly assuming the pro
portions of a serious and universal pro- -;,' '.
blem, and to many who are familiar'
with the history of previous events, it
seems possible that the government of
the United States may yet be obliged to
administer some of the medicine applied -by
other nations. A prominent senator ' "
said yesterday : "It is barely forty years
ago, when the attention of the civilized -world
was attracted to the vicissitudes of
a war which was waged by England aad
France against the Chinese power; war
that was provoked by a similar con- 1 '
catenation of events as the present crisis
presents, and which was waged in order" ' :
to compel the Chinese government "to. -become
amenable to the internatiSfaa '-:r t.
usages of the rest of the civilized world:"?."' '
The termination of hostilities decided : 'i
the superiority of European arms, abd '
the victory stipulated theliTjenylr"
eign residents to trade, to reside, and fc;.V-i
engage in; any legitimate occupation'
they may choose. The walPv
of China was no longer the in
superable barier to ingress. The ports...?,,
were declared open to foreign commerce, " '.
and the lives, liberties and property of
foreign residents there, were to be pro
tected and guaranteed, by the Chinese '
government. In a word, China, after ,
the war, was declared to have been ad- "" "
mitted into international relations with '"
the rest of the civilized world, under the
contract of tnutua' and international re-,
sponsibilities and obligations." The :
fact of the matter is, China is apt to' be .
misrepresented, both by her detractors
and her defenders, more eo thau any
other country in the world. ' She is
neither-Uie barbarous country whose pop,
ulation is morally obtuse, intellectually
dull, and physicially enervated, as some
represent her to the popular imagination ;
nor is ehe that highly organized and an
cient civilization, contended in her long
roll of historical monuments, apathetic
in her present, but threatening mo
mently to rouse herself and precipitate
her counties horde in order to submerge
the rest of civilization.
