Washington, March 1888. Hon. Samuel J. Hundull made a few remarks In the Iiouso on Wednesday, which seemed him a round of he.uty ap plause from thu Democrctic side and irom the galleries. It was during the discussion on .Mr. Mills' resolution au thorizing tlio Secretary of the Treasury to p irehaso bonds with thu surplus, which discussion, by tho way, was tho most In teresting thus far of the session. Tho tenor of .Mr. Hamlall's remarks was such that little doubt remains that he will sup IHirt tho tariff bill which has been pro posed bv a majority of tlio Ways and ileaus Committee. Ho closed by saying that he hoed and lielluved the Demo cratic party would at thu proiier time in) found acting together. .Mr. Hreekenridgo of Kentucky made an excellent tariff seech on Wednesday in the House. Hu argued that revenue reform was necessary to tlio prosperity of the country, and it was thu duty of the Democratic majority of tho House to pass a bill looking thereto, leaving to thu Heiuibllcan Senate the respon sibility of defeating tlio will of thu peoplu if they dare to do It, by rejecting the bill that has lieen ho carefully drawn by tho niajotity of thu Ways and Means Coni mitteo. Thu tariff bill, uon which the Demo cratic members of tho Ways and Means Conimitteo havu lieuu faithfully working since the beginning of thu session, is now complete, it has been placed before thu mil committee, ami any lurtner delay in presenting it to thu House will lie fairly chargeable to the lteptibllcau members of that committee, mu mil proposes to re duce thu revenues of the Government from $00,000,000 to 70,000,000 a year., Tho Government I'rintllig Olllco inves tigation is still on. Every day oilers new proofs of tho many benelllH derived by that ollicu since it lias lieen under Demo cratic control. Many thousand dollars have lieen saved for thu Government, while dio iiiuntltv Of work turned out is large: than ovur beforu. ino tricky iiinior Senator from Now Hampshire, William E. Chandler, intro duced a very Innocent-looking bill in thu Senate Iho other day. It authorizes thu purehusoof Alliert Oportl'stwo paintings, ''Tho Farthest North," and "Camp Clay, or thu Itescue of Lieutenant Greeley iniil Party." This bill will liear watching, as both Secretaries Whitney and Endlcott have refused to recommend their pur chase. The attist claims that Senator Chandler, who was then Secretary of thu Navy, onleied tho paintings for tlio Gov ernment. If hu did ho, hu exceeded his authority, anil Congress should not help him out of Ids dilemma. Tho price of the two paintings is $12,001), which is generally considered to bo much moro than they are worth. Hv tho way, a bill; has been in troduced to create a National Art Commission, to consist of fourteen per sons to bu apM)inted by thu Pivsldent, and serve without compensation. Their duty shall hu to pass upon all works of art which the Government tiroposes to purchase, and to Hiierv!su tlio prepara tion of plans and execution of contracts foi nit wo k under Government direction. I will just mention in tins connection that the Washington philanthropist whoso obsequies ttsik placu this week, (Mr. W. W. Cotcoiau) lieiiuoathed an other if 100,000 to tlio Corcoran Art Gal lery. Another ltepubllcau boomerang. It will )o iemenileivil that eaily lu the present session of Congress a ltcpuhlican member Introduced with a great blast of trumpets a lesolutlon In tlm House call ing on tlio Commissioners of Pensions to show caiiMi, etc., why lie had exceeded his authority by issuing what Is known as tho "ono hundred dav" circular to I,. union claimants. Tho House Commit tee on Pensions lias iiuulo an adverse io isort on this resolution. Thu Commis sioner did not exceed his authority, and lu Issuing thu circular the interests of no claimant were Injured. On the contrary, many wero Iwnolited thereby. Senator Vest made a Hjieceh on thu De pendent Pension bill Wednesday, in which ho fairly flayed that class of slates men who are always ready to poso as tho Hjiecial champions of Iho soldiers' inter ests. Ho said they wero turning llio na tion's legislative halls into auction rooms in which they could bid for thu soldier yotu in thu coming contest. "Partisan or non-partisan, my convictions require mo to vote against thu bill ; anil I hope It may 'die tlio death' in thu other brunch of tho National Congress; and if not there, at thu bauds of thu Executive. If that lie unparliamentary, uiako thu most of It." A Heavy Charge, From the Wullu Walla Union. A gentleman just from Astoria slates that just Isjforo leaving ho was lu con versation with a ship captain nlxmt to llllt nut t.i kl.tl II,, unlil lli.it lttu I'iiuunl was loaded with L'100 tons of wheat, and j that the charges on his vessel for towing In and out of Portland, wharfage ami I loading, amounted to $7,400. A little I calculation shows that this is -f :i.rt a ton, or about equal to eleven cents a bushel 1 that tho producer will have to pay to get j his wheat out of Portland on its way to market. This is a ptotty high ratu of ; cqminiHslon to pay Portland uikjii every ' bushel of bieaiNttili'iiilscd in thu Inland' Empire, but It Is Just what wo havo been paj lug.

It is seldom that any of our county or local iMiH-rs will venture to discuss "tlio most iiiisirtant issue that is confronting tho people of to-day. The very subject that Is most important to the people, and every publication should be most prompt to give Information on, is generally avoided and disregarded. The great com bination!) anil corporations that are con stantly springing up always teceive from many of tlio leading papers, support anil encouragement, and urgo thu innocent masses to step forward without hesitation and havu their life's blood micked from their veins, lu tho latest improved man ner. These combinations and trusts must be broken and thu quicker thu break begins thu butler. I appeal to tho jieoplu, and I 1iomj thoso that read this will stop and think, why will wo contlnuo to bo robk'd? Why will wo continue vot ing for either of tlio two corrujit parties, whoso only object Is to rob and plunder thoiieople? Why not loin ourselves to the rnion Lulsir Party? Itcurtalnly would hu butler for us to uultu with tills oppo sition party, and with peaceful methods endeavor to battle down these monster evils in our politics and again plant our republic on a foundation of justice, equal ity and fraternity. I am pleased to note that tho editors of thu East Oiiihionian are growing moro and more liliend In their views, on tlio ixilltical question, anil I think that great good will yet como from it. Any party supiiortcd by tho peoplu Hliotild seo that tlio olllces are oc cupied by thu very liest men our country allords. Such men very neldon, if over, get there, they have too much honor to beg at thu hands of thu people for ollicu. I think that those who are always seeking for ollicu uto tlio loast deserving, and should always lw dofoated in tho conven tion. J". 11. Dksi'.mn. Hotel Arrivals, Howman Ilot'si:. W. Goiuniol, T. A.
