AN EXPLANATION. WASHINGTON. An Intprer tliiR I;ttcr From Our ltru lnr Correspondent. Washington, Fob. Ilth, 1889. Editoii Onixiox Scout: Tho lloiiac of 1'eprcBcntativos was crowded with a buzzing, bustling, curi ous throng on Wednesday, to sue. Con gress count tho electoral votes. It was one o'clock when tho Senate entered the House, past the ladies who had been for ouco admitted to tho floor, and .Senator Jngalla took his seat beside Speaker Carlisle. .Mr. Ingalls dived into the box containing tho certificates and after a juniluV of words, solemnly broke the teals of tho returns from Alabama. Nothing wonderful ciibucd, but it took over ten minutes to read tho report, which Senator Mandcrson delivered. So on it went, Senator Harris reading tho report from Arkansas next. Occasionally amusement was had, as when Senator Harris, by a slip of the tongue, announced the vote of Indiana for Cleveland, but taken as a whole tho proceeding was about as uneventful as could be. Still tho curious listened with little sign of being bored, and, in deed, almost in a spirit of wise awe, as perlaking of a very dignified and judi cial feast of rent-on. Senator Ingalls treated the matter with his iibual disregard for the theatri cal, lie opened the certificates with the tort of knifo they used to call a big barlow, when I was a boy, and he left it sticking in tho top of the desk when ho had occasion once or twice to consult tho law with Speaker Carlisle, which, it being the first count under tho new law, was occasional' necessary. Oii the grave of tho proposed tariff legislation of tho present session, the Government printer has gently laid his tribute of respect. Tho document is tho copy of Secretary Kairchild's let ter lo tho Ways and Means Commit tee, including tho tables of figures. It looks like a tax list and tho letter press has tho same thrilling, absorbing in terest that attaches itself to a patent oflieo report. A clerk with an indis truetiblo voico might bo able to read it in tho Houso m ton days. In other words tho ontiro records of tho custom service havo been emptied on tho de fenseless House. Tho Senate, after vigorous opposi tion, is debating tho resolution upon the Committee on Privileges and Elec tions providing for the further protec tion of tho elective franchiso in Con gressional .elections. Senator Harris and olhers offered to vote on tho bill on Tuesday without debate, but this offer was rojected. Tho democratic senators opposed tho debate on tho ground that it would merely awaken sectional bitterness. Of course tho vexed instance that tho republicans expect to make the most capital of is tho murder of John M. Clayton in Ar kansas. That this was a political mur deru) 0110 doubts, and while no par ty is to bo held responsible for the ac tion of a few misguided and obscure members, it has deeply afi'ected tho good name of the state and ruined tho reputation of Hepresentativo IJrecken ridge, tho luto Sir. Clayton's opponent for Congress. Tho Houso will to-morrow receive Mr. Springer's report of tho bill he in troduced hist month, to enable the Territories of Arizona, Idaho and Wy oming to qualify for statehood. Mr. Springer says that if tho bill fails of passage during this session, tho awful guilt lies upon tho souls of the repub lican majority in tho Senate. It is notpioposcd by tho bill to admit tho throe now states so promptly as tho five states proposed in tho Omnibus hill which parsed tho House, but it provides that they can bo in tho Un ion in time- to voto in tho Presidential election of 1892. Tho passage of all of Mr. Springer's proposed measures would add eight ttais to tho ilug, and make sixteen more senators and tan moro representatives. It would leave only thrco territories, unless tho Okla llama bill passes Utah, Indian Terri tory and Alaska. It is expected that Mr. Springer will iic.xt turn his eagle eye on Alaska. Tho delegates from tho territories interested aro particu larly enthusiastic. Tho population of Wyoming is estimated by Dolcgato Carey at 120,000; that of Arizona by Delegate Smith at 8.1,000; that of Ida ho by Delegate Dubois at MO.OOO. Tho idea of giving S!l,()00 people two Kinators would seem a trillo absurd, hut Mr. Springer says that their inter ests deiniind it and .Mr. Springer is a politician and ought to know. Tho now method of counting tho votcH of presidential electors cost only 11 little over .f 1.500 for printing, mak iig certified copies of tho certificates of the Kleutorial Colleges, and sending a imuifougor to hunt up the missing voto of Florida. Mr. Wanmukcr has purchased the hotuo which has boon occupied by Secretary Whitney during the proi-ent administration. J. H.O. Ilrotlmr Fletincr ttxplnlns .Some Matters Pertaining to tho I.nt Church Un-plcnmntiipsx. Eov. .1. I). I'lonner writing to the Iloteo City Statesman says: "The article appearing in your pa per of the 19th inst, from the Portland Orcgonian concerning the recent hear ing and final action of an appeal taken by 1110 from tho decision of tho Idaho Conference to the .Judicial Conference of the M. E. church, while in general fair, and written in the kindest spitit, contains some errors which I wish lo correct. The action of the Idaho Con ference was sustained in part only. Tho charge of falsehoods was not sus tained at the Conference held in Boise last fall, and of course did not go before the Judicial Conference at all. At the Conference last fall I was confronted witli a bill of charges and specifications remarkable more for their number than for their justice or foundation in fact. Out of this long list only three specifications were sus tained by the Conference and that on a voto of five to four. From the de cision of the Conference as to these thrco specifications I took an appeal. One of the thrco specifications referred to, charged that I had collected money for tho Pacific Christian Advocate and had not accounted therefor at tho Ad vocate office, the other that I had mis appropriated church funds; and the third was a charge of imprudent conduct only. The Judicial Confer ence reversed the decisian of the An nual Conference as to Hie first speci fication, but sustained it as to the sec ond and third on a vote of eight to eight. From this decision 1 have taken an appeal to the General Con ference of tho church. Tho charge of imprudent conduct, while sustained, was so trivial as to cut no figure in the case. As to tho matter of church funds, the evidence shows that I made good the amount, which was all that in justice could bo required of me. From unquestioned authority I learned that tho Judicial Conference exonerated mo from any wrong inten tion, hut contended that 1 did wrong, which I admit. But in doing so I was not a sinner above all the men who are preaching in t ho bounds of tho Idaho Conference. That man Irwin, who outraged decency in prose cuting the ease and who did his dirty work for pay, lias trailed his debts across tho continent, among which charges of using church money wrong fully are not wanting, and was com pelled lo leave the session of tho Con ference last fall to answer a suit in court for debt. It is a most gratifying fact that not withstanding tho unholy alliance raked tho entire Northwest coast for scurri lous matter to lay to my charge, every specification was successfully met ex cept two, and these sustained by such a small margin as to leave my ene mies but little room for rejoicing. They aro welcome to all the joy they can get out of it. 1 have tho comfort of tho consciousness that I havo not intended wrong to any man, and that in tho teetli of unfavorable circum stances, the desertion and ingratitude of supposed friends, tho bitings of poverty, and tides of assault that havo borne much better men oil' their feet and swept them into the bieakers of sin, and doubt and despair. I have made as good a light as I could, and preserve still my faith in God and in tho final triumph of tho right. I have deemed it 'better like Hector on the field to die, than, like perfumed Paris, turn and fly.' The adverse judgments of men neither make nor break char acter. To that precious circle of friends, both in and out of tho church, who havo stood by my side unfalteringly while tho hell of malice raged and roared around me, 1 extend my sincere, heartfelt I hanks. I shall aim to show my appreciation of your confidence by striving with might and main to bo worthy of it. In all my efforts to make tho best of tho years that aro before me, I crave tho prayers of all true Christians, and the kind wishes and helpful, encouraging words of all who 'love their fellow men.'
