WASHIXGTOX LETTER.
From onr Regular Correspondent. 1
Wabuinotos, June 8, 1883.
This has been the dull week of
the session of congress. The cen
ter of political interest shifted for
the time from Washington to St.
Louis. Quito a number of our dem
ocratic lawmakers hied away to the
national convention, leaving the all
important tariff debate to do the
best it could during their absence.
The latter measure did not make
much progress, as was expected.
Congress has not been paralyzed,
however. It is entirely too large a
body to be influenced by the ab-
ttsti 2mmm etTMullCmi
or so members. Its work has gone
on in a quiet way, and although
overshadowed by the presidential
nominating convention, as much
has heeu accomplished na usual
iu the &amo length of lime.
On "Wednesday the house got as
far as the Hixleenth line of the tariff
bill, but it required it congressman
of great application to nit quietly
by and give his serious attention to
this discussion while the bulletins
from the St. IxMii convention were
leing pouted every few moment in
the corridor. Tie Cleveland red
' rose was being largely worn by the
democratic members, and several
enterprising page of the house He
cured a larfje supply of bandana
haudkerehief, wbieli they distrib
uted freely. Everybody bad a ban
danna, even Die most dignified leg
islators could le seen flaunting the
"Old Roman" in n significant man
ner. Mr. ltaiidall spiead otft
over his desk; Hen. Spinola tied
his, ting-fashion, to the brass rod in
front of his desk; Representative
Lawlcr tucked his in his vest front,
and from every democratic pocket
peeped the ruddy cloth.
The tariff debate was plodding
along over th "lumber clause"
when Mr. Cox, of New York, cre
ated a diversion by asking permis
sion to have read a dispatch"" from
St. I-iitiis, announcing President
Cleveland' re-nomination by ac
clamation. ThU wa greeted with
vociferous a p pi an e by th demo
crats, and Mr. Tierney, who had the
tioor, waved his bandanna raptur
ously. As soon as the democrats
Lad quieted down, the republicans
answered them with a round of np
plauao and hand-clapping. The
democrats joined in this ngain, and
was continued for several minutes.
On Wednesday the White house
was quiet as it usually is on these
had just received u re-nomination
for the high office he now holds.
In the morning Mr. Cleveland drove
in from Oak view, his country res
idence, and went to work its usual
with the mass of papers requiring
his attention. He permitted no vis
ible anxiety about news from the
convention, hut he read all the tele
grams with great interest. At noon
he went down to the reception in
the Ivtxt room, and shook hands
with the people who had gathered
there to eo him. Later, wHen the
bulletin announcing his re nomina
tion was received, he was seated at
III! limn. V.l. llillllirnt I ' i,
the telegram, and after a few r
mark!, the president went on wi
his desk. Col. Jiamont ieal Itim
e-
th
is work as if nothing had happen
ed. Soon the congratulatory- tele
gram t begin to ouriii from all over
the country in largo numbers. I in
mediately after the receipt of the
news. Col. Iitmont telephoned it to
Oakriew. to Mrs. Cleveland, who
showed much more delight over the
tidings than her husband had dono.
The choice of vice-presidential
candidates on either of the old party
tickets is of vital importance at this
election becauso of the possibility
that the president of the peuate for
the two next sessions may have the
casting vote on all quest ions of sufli
cient importance to cause a division
on paity lines. The terms of twelve
lemocratic senators expire on the
4th of March, 18S9. Of all these
the only scat the republicans can
hope to win is that of Mr. M I'her-
son, of New Jersey.
As Senator lliddlebnrger will
make way for Mr. llarlwmr, of Vir
ginia, the democrats are sure of be-
insr no worse oil" in the next senate
than they are now, while if Mr.
McPhereon should be succeeded by
a democrat, they will have exactly
the same number of senators as the
republicans, and can tie them on
every party vote. Should the next
senate be tied, an efficient parlia
mentarian could render valuable ser
vice to his party na presiding officer,
and an inefficient one could do cor
responding injury. . And, should
the vice-presidentelect die between
the casting of tbe electoral vote and
the meeting of the senate, it would
be doubtful if that body wonld be
able to organize at all.

There is some talk at government
headquarters of having all the land office
bu4 :s that is now done at the offices
of the county clerks done at the laud
offices themselves. Should each an order
lm made the proving- up, final notice
proofs, etc., would have to be made at
the Oregon City land office, instead of at
the county clerks office in this city. But
as to that nothing definite is known yet.

Up to the 1st inst., the salmon pack
on the Columbia was fully up to that of
last year to the sauio time 'in round
numbers 100,000 cases; since then the
pack has fallen off as compared with last
season, and it Is believed that the pack to
date is not over 125,000 cases. Up river
canneries are doing better than those in
lower Columbia. Tbe pack of 1888 is
now figured at 300,000 or at most 325,
000 cases, as compared with 354,000
last year, but the aggregate, of course,
depends on the July run. The fish are

HOVT MOR I tab K THE FARM.
There is in Bangor an ancient
drugstore which for over forty years
has been the headquarters of the
farmers trading in that city. There
they go for goods, to leave whips,
robes and bundles, to loaf away the
evenings wbcji "down on the jury,"
aud when in search, of information.
Into it the other day there walked a
sturdy yeoman, his bronzed face
and Lard., horny hands telling of
exposure to the weather and "of hard
toil. His clothing was of good,
honest material, and on his feet
were solid cowhide boots. Wulking
up to the proprietor of the storo he
inquired for lawyer Blank.
Now Ihe man from Ihe farm had
such an honest face, such an inno
cent expression, that the druggist,
knowing the man sought for to be a
"sharer" in fact not a real lawyer
at all departed from his rule of
minding his own business and asked
the farmer what ho wanted of the
lawyer. In a few words t ho story
was told.
It seemed that the man had
worked hard all his days, had
bought and paid for a $1200 farm,
had taken a wife, furnished a house,
and now, envious of his neighbors,
wanted to build a $300 barn. To
do this he proposed to borrow the
cash, giving a mortgage on his farm.
Said the druggist, after the story
was told:
"Your farm is clear now?"
"Yes, sir."
"You love your wife?"
"Yes, sir."
"Well," said the merchant, "this
is what you should do. Go home
and earn the $300 first and then
build your barn. If yon Isnrow
now, you will think each night as
you lie in your bed that you ate in
debt. You will fret and worry;
your young wife will do the same;
sickness snd accidents may come or
a poor crop to your portion; there
will be a $300 skeleton in your
house, and, tan to one, you will fret
and grow peevish aud have a row
with your wife. Don't go into the
mortgage business! Don't go into
debtl live within your income, lie
industrious, and when you do build
your barn and ovu it, you will bo
as proud of it as an Englishman is
of his castle."
For a moment the young farmer
hesitated. On each aide were in
terested spectators, and all was
silence. Gradually the bead low
ered and a tear rolled down the
cheek. Though only a tiller of the
oil, the man took pride in bis
occupation and wanted that barn.
At laat be said:
"Thank you, sir. To tell you the
truth, air, toy wife wai a crying
when I left Lome because I was
going to mortgage the place. I'll
take your advice and go borne as I
came down, and she'll be glad lo
aee me, you bet"
"There," aaid tbe Bangor man,
"that fellow came to ft good, wise
conclusion. I hare aeen lota of
misery on account of this mortgage
basin ess. He who givee one often
givea peace, comfort and content
mentwitb it." Lancaster Journal.
TRAIX R0I1ULRY.
Masked .Men Slop the Northern
Fuel Up Express.
Hei.kna, June 17, Montana has
had its fust experience with the
festive train robber.
The scene of the hold-up was at
Junction City, sixty-live miles east
of Billing-, ond Miles City. The
No. 1 express bound west reached
the point named about 11 o'clock
last night. It was running at the
usual rate of speed, when F.ogineer
Sargent saw u man ou the track a
considerable distance ahead waving
a torch. He stopped, and a masked
mmmmmir-Ftin m , ur . l ;
engine. '
.Seme ono fired a bullet through
llio cab, nn 1 Sargent was ordered to
throw up bis bands and get out of
tho engine, which bo did. The men
were Mauding about masked eight
of them - and they moved down to
the expichH car, prying tho door
open with the engineer's pick. Sar
gent was made to crawl through tho
aperture nnd advise, tho messenger
that ho had better surrender. The
laller wns inclined (o resist, but,
weakened un.l gavo up tho keys.
About 8100 was M-eurcd from the
safe.
The robbers, who were undoubt
edly oowbots, remained nbcut the
express car nnd engine ut least thirty
minutes, iimlin no attempt to
molest tho passengers in tho coaches
slid sleeper. Their incessant firing
gftvo the paMhciiots a pointer as to
what was going on, nnd they em
ployed their time to advantage in
concealing inonev nnd valuables.
Finally tho gang with tho engineer
n front, stal led through tho coaches
A guard wn placed at tho door of
each car. The passengers wrre very
much alarmed nnd excited, but no
violence was offered. Tho guards
on the platform kept up a constant '
fusillade nnd this added to the alarm
of the women (specially. No watches
or jewelry were taken from the men,
but all the cadi (lint could bo found
was gobbled up. Tho sleepingcar
conductor gave up $70 and the losses
of the passengers nro estimated at
!out t5tH). - -
The robbers consumed about two
hours in llio work. A passenger
who offered a slight show of resist
ance came near being killed. A
shot was tired nt hint which cut
through his hat and passed out
tho window. The enginser was
allowed to return to hingine after
tho robbers had stationed the guards
at tho doors, but tho li reman was
held in close custody until the rob
bers had finished tho job nnd dis
appeared in the darkness of tho
night.
Tho train reached Hillings two
hours lute, nud the fclieiiff soon or
ganized n posMi which started in
pursuit. Nothing has been heard
from as yet. Tho robbers without
a doubt belong to tho cowboy
fraternity.

Chicago Times: There wosohce
nn occasion in which Ncal Dow .
was a veiy noticeable figure. It
whs iinlv iu the wsr. His army
corps bad been brought up pre
paratory to forming for battle.
Gen. Dov was ono of the party of
lesse r eflieen who had been called
around the corps commander for
instruction. Ho was, as one of the
boys aid, nil hat, boots and sword.
He was it very small man and wore
a lnt with an enotmous brim, a pair
of loU that Happed above the
knee, uiid a sword that clanged on
tho ground away behind him. -
"General Dow," said the com.
mandcr, "I want you to go to that
little hillock to tho left and take a
position faciug that lino of woods."
"Now, General ? ahked Dow.
"At once."
In a moment, (ho army saw little
General Dow tramping ofT toward
tho hillock alone, and word was
passed r.long explaining the mistake
lie had made. The shouts of
laughter attracted the commander's
attention, and he sent an orderly
after General Dow. When tho lit-
tlo man returned, the commander
asked:
"General Dow, what did you un
derstand me to direct you to do?"
"To take n position on that hil
lock facing tho woods, sir."
"And did you think I meant to
send you thero alone?"
"Certsinly, sir. I did not bear
you say any body was to go with
me.'
Tho commander kindly set him
right, and Gen. Dow finally took
his command to the hillock, but the
boys in the corps never got through
talking and laughing about tho
time "Little Neat Dow" set out
alono to bold the hillock against'the
rebel army.
