Special to TMb hkoricxx
Washington, Dec. 9. President-elect
Cleveland very sensibly continues to
seclude himself from the public in as
great degree as possible, but he can not
close the mails against his. voluntary
correspondents. .From this time until
hia inauguration Mr. Cleveland's mail,
notwithstanding his recent protest, will
probably average at least 1,500 letters
daily. That was about the number.
President Harrison received from im
mediately after his election, and it
jumped to 2,000 per diem after hits ar
rival at the White House. About nine
tenths of all fuch communications are
from office-seekers. The balance con
veys, mostly,. advice and suggestions,
offer congratulations and give warnings,
friendly and otherwise.
As is customary at such times, people
of all kinds iii every part of the country,
are now "taking pen in hand" to address
the president-elect by post. Whenever
a change of administration occurs a sort
of fever for office-seeking becomes epi
demic among the people. For mouths
after Mr. CK-veland assumes his high of
fice the time of his private secretary will
be chiefly occupied with receiving -applications
for positions tinder the govern
ment, and the ante-room of the White
House wil be crowded at all hours with
congressmen and others eager to secure
plump of patronage. The "very hungry
and. very, thirsty" will swarm upon
Washington like grasshoppers upon a
green vegetable patch. .AH of them will
reach here in high confidence of securit
ing appointments' to their liking, and
nine-tenths of them will finally go away
disappointed after eating out their hearts
with waiting aud nope deferred.
The great majority of those who do
succeed will be obliged to be content
with positions much lower in the pub
lic service; than they had expected, to
secure. In numerous instances indi
viduals of some local distinction, who
had journeyed here with aspirations for
posts of high, honor and emolument
under one administration or another,
have been thankful to get situations
finally as messengers in . the depart
ment's. History in this matter 'repeats
itself every time one political party goes
out and another comes in. Those who
fail, as their money runs low, drift out
of the hotels into the boarding-houses,
finally falling back on the cheap 'lodging
houses. Last scene of all,, which so
often ends this sad, eventful history, is
the appeal addressed by the., disap
pointed office-seeker to Itis congressman
for a loan to pay his car-fare home.
Undoubtedly these pluce-hnnleis are
mostly people, of some importance where
they-live; butthe tt-ver for holding
public office attacks them, and they
abandon everything else to pursue the
delusive phantom. If they capture it,
i the glamour of the life holds them so
, that they are never satisfied to abandon
it. If they fail, as so many do, they too
often become soured misanthropes,
brooding constantly over what "might
have been."
A Hiirmnn Colony In Mexico.
El Paso, Tex., Dec. 12. r Edward
Stevenson and K. Macdonald, Mormon
leaders from Utah, wilL leave here for
Mexico with 100 men to establish a Mor
mon colony on 600 acres of land near
Santa Rosalia and 100 miles from Chi
huahua city. The land was granted to
them by the Mexican government.
Blaine's Religions Views.
Washington, Dec. 12. The Rev..
Father Ducey, of New VYork, came , to
Washington yesterday, and his presence
has revived the rumors concerning Mr.
Blaine's religious views. . Last night, it
was the talk' at the hotels that the ex
pecretary of state is to become a mem
ber of the Soman Catholic church
through the offices of Father Ducey in a
,dfty. or two. Father Duoey would not
discuss the rumor last night. -
The Blnnderlnc Ballt-
The people of Massachusetts are sup
posed to be as intelligent as those of any
commonwealth in the country. Never
theless they made more mistakes than
the citizens of any other state in the UBe
of the Australian ballot at the last elec
tion. The official count shows that
19,186 blanks were cast for governor,
32,005 : for lieutenant-governor, 39,067
for treasurer, and 40,894 for secretary of
state. The toal vote of the state was
400,120, so that the percentage of defect
ive ballots was very large. The blanks
were caused by the voters checking
against individual names, instead of in
the party circle at the head of the tick
ets. Just which party suffered most
severely as the result of this blundering
is hot positively known.
Vstarei fa Sheep.
Chas. Cunningham, who is in a posi
tion to know what he is talking about,
informs the East Oregonian that all the
last spring lambs in Idaho have been
contracted for at $2.50 per head, to be
delivered next spring, and sheep which
will then be two-year-eld are under con
tract for delivery at 3 per head. These
figures do not indicate any depression in
the sheep-growing industry. In Uma
tilla county the condition of affairs is
the same. Grown sheep are worth from
$3.50 upwards, and lambs command a
proportionately high price.
Germany For Gold.
Berlin, Dec. 12. In the richstag,
Count Meirbach, conservative, asked the
government to assist the bimetalistsiu
the Brussels monetary conference Chan
cellor Capri vi replied that the German
delegates were instructed not to give as
sent to any proposals that restricted
Germany's right to decide what should
constitute her own currency, and to de
clare Germany is content with .her pres
ent system and. would not change it.
Capri vi concluded his remarks by de
claring Germany would continue to ad
here to the gold standard.
German People Bxelted.
Beklin, Dec. 12. The town" is full of
rumors. One is to the effect that the
imperial message dissolving the reichs
tag.will be read today, another that the
army bill will be put into effect without
consulting the reichstag. . Public feeling
in the empire is on the verge of . an ex
plosion, pat ticnlarly . if the kaiser in
sists on retaining . Capri vi. It. will b
remembered the . kaiser formerlv ex
pressed a determination to keep Bis
marck in spite of anything that might
happen.
To Adopt Penny Postage.
London. Dec . 12. The statement is

.' The . American Remedy company of
Portland have filed articles of incorpor

Higgins, Mills, Senator Jones' add F.

THE PANAMA SCAiNDAL

BARON REINACH WAS POISONED.

Place Hera on The Stand.

Political Personages Re
Unnamed Compromised
In the Scandal.
tofore
Pahib, Dec. 12. The Panama canal:
scandal continues to engross public at
tention. All the papers bublisb lonir
articles on tbo scandal, the tenor of
which depends entirely upon political
points of view of the journals. Le -Figaro
urges the government . to get
Hertz, one of the partners in the bank
ing house of which the late Baron Rein
ach was the. bead, to speak refrardinz
the connection of that house with the
affairs of the Panama Canal Com nan v.
the inference Ityng that Herz will be
able to explain many points about which
doubts now exist.
In the course of its article, Le Figaro
recalls how, thanks to Clemenceau and
Sarrien, Herz wan enabled to, bond the
Electric force transmission coniDanv
with a capital of 12,500,000 francs, and
that, through this and other transac
tions in which he was assisted, by con
nection with men holding ministerial
positions, he accumulated a considerable
fortune. The paper further sayp Baron
Reinach spent the greater part of the
last hours of his life with Herri . .
Only a few minutes after leaving Herz,
Reinach returned to his residence and
that night died under circumstances
that led the government to' make an
autopsy to determine whether he died
from natural causes or committed . ni
cide. On the same night Reinach died
Herz started for London, and Le Figaro
expresses a strong desire to have the
public informed as to what caused his
sudden departure. Le Temps .says the
first examination of the remains of
Baron Reinach proves he died from
poison." The bourse is unsettled owing
to rumors that prominent political per
sonages, heretofore unnamed, are com
promised in the Panama canal scandal.
Still Baa Hope.
Brussels, Dec. 12. To a correspond
ent Senator Jones said: "I have not
given up hope that some plan may be
evolved from the discussion now In prog
ress, and that before the end of the com
ing week. If not, the conference may
adjourn for the holidays. In the latter
event the governments now opposed 'to
ns may see the danger in which they
stand, and come to an arrangement.
They will discover that they cannot .
maintain the present system, but may
want time to find a way out of the diffi
culty. I will speak on Tuesday. My
speech will be academic, for I have been
asked to discus the question thor
oughly." ; Tbt Evidence is ronolnalTe. '
. Pittsburg, Dec. 12. The offices of the
Amalgamated association say that the
story that the organization countenanced
a plot to poison non-union men at work
in the mill company is prosperous. At
torneys for the Caruegies, however, say
the chain of evidence against the lead
ers is growing stronger daily, and prom
ises to be so complete that none of them
will be able to escape.
A Forger and His History.
Rome, Ga., Dec. 12. Lord Walter 6.
Beresford, the English forger, who hs
occupied his time in the Floyd county
jail in writing, a history of his career,
has completed the book and closed a
contract for its publication. He expects
to appeal ids case to the United States
bupreme court if he can raise, money
