WASHINGTON.
An Iiitorestlnj: Letter l'rom Our Kcrh
tnr Correspondent.
Wasjiiscitos, I). C, October 2.'., 1SS9.
EniToit Oiu:ion Scout:
Congressman Urowno, of Indiana,
wlm is in Washington so much of the
vacation, lins considerable to say o"'
conretsionnl intcrfcranco with clec
tioai. IIu says that tho congress of
tho United States has undoubted pow
er to euperviae congressional elections.
They are thoroughly national and per
haps tho only really national elections
we have. The question as to what
shall be done in this connection is full
of diliicultieJ. Tho law, whutever it
limy lie. has to bo enforced by stale
tribunals, and tho witnesses and every
body else connected with the case
rointi from tho community which is
oftentimes in s;. inpatby with tho vio
lator of the law. No statute can be
enforced where the public docs not do
(ire to enforce it.
Mr. I'rowno directs his fire against
the yaitheni districts which have
small voting on thuir general ejections
tin; black districts. There are of
cour.-o two sides to the ease. Congress
man Catching., of Mississippi, says
that the idea that the negroes of the
south nre siting up nights waiting for
a chance to deposit, an honest ballot, is
a mistake. Ho does not think that
fifty per cent of those in tho districts
that aio ovorwhelmingly one way or
the other, have gone to tho polls in
the last tun'years. Negroes will pick
cotton within one hundred yards of
the polls and never quit to cast their
vote?, except such , as aie paid forgo
ing directly, and such bribery is seldom
nccessiry, minorities being so large.
The trouble is that the colored people
of tho south do not rend tho current
literature of tho day and have no con
ception of economic questions. For
themselves they seo no direct bene
fit to bo reaped from political life, and
they know that it now means simply
who shall hold ollico. There was a
time, in tho sixties, when they were
first freed, when to their minds their
salvation depended upon voting tho
Republican ticket. They were packed
about tho polls, waiting eagerly to
oxercifo their preiogatives. Tho
lapse of time, peace, security, has
brought" a feeling of indiU'ereuce.
Thus, and much more, Mr. ditchings,
mid thus you see tho fallacy of putting
your inibt in princes, especially if the
princes be Messrs llrmvno and ditch
ings. It is a long way from Indiana
to MiKsii-Mppi.
Th"ii;h it rained and blew and
snowed ht-rn day before yesterday, tho
meeting of tho National Hoard of Pro
motion of tho proposed exposition in
"Washington in 181)2, was an unquali
fied success. Tho meeting was called
for noon, but long before this time,
and long afterwards, delegates kept
arriving, until the attendance was far
in exee.-s of even the most sanguine
expectation. There woio more than
one hundred mou present as delegates
r.ipresontatives men, governors,
mayors, capitalists froino very state
from Maine to California, from Dakota
to Florida. It htw been supposed that
tho spacious main parlors of Willard's
hotel, opened together, would accomo
date tho assembly, but so great was
the crowd, that it was found necessary
to hold tho business meeting in Wil
lard hall. Among those present wore
Uovornor Uiggs, of Doleware, Coventor
Floning, of Florida and (lovornor
Jackson, of Maryland.
In his report to tho promoters. Sou
rotary Anderson was particularly hap
py, and his presentation of tho claims
of Vahington was most convincing,
lie called attention to tho fact that
there is already hero the nucleus of an
exposition that has aheiuly cost tho
governiitent over tfriO.OOO.OOO, and ev
ery year adds to tho expenditure. This
is the national museum, the capitol,
tho patent ollice, tho Washington
monument and the vaiious govern
ment buildings, with their stores of
relics and treasures of art, and their
exhibits of the practical workings of
tho government. Those are practi
cally an exhibit of thomcolvos. To bo
Huro, some of them could be loaned, as
they have been in tho past, but they
could bo only a part of all thoTitlrac
tions, and it would bo better to keep
oven these permanently at ho seat of
government, rather than to further en
gage in tho traveling show business of
lugging these goods to tho expositions
all over tho country.
If an industrial or commercial city
Becures tho exposition, it must bo at
the cost of her neighbors, for during
tho exposition she would receive tho
trade of tho country. Washington is
neutral ground. ,Sho has nothing to
ell, no commercial interests to foster.
J)cateit hero, tho exposition would
givo the rival manufacturing and
commercial centers equal chances for
the Bpanish-American trade.

Ancient Oregon.
The following concludes the report
of its summer trip to tho John Day
country by the Princeton college ex
pedition :
"Could wo reproduce a view of Hint
anciont Oregon when John Day laka
existed we should have found our
selves in a very strange animal world.
There were little three-toed horses
hardly larger than donkeys, rbinnceri,
camels, peccaries and a great assem
blancc of large, fierce, c.it-liko, dog-like
and hyena-like nniniuK not to men
tion hosts of little rabbits and squirrel
like creatures. The animals of this
time were all very small, the largest
being the entelodon, a haul not unlike
the hipopotamus in si-.o and general
appearance. As the list shows, this
assemblage had a very oriental charac
ter. The climato was perhaps rather
milder than tho present, and the for
ests, of which the leaf beds of Jlridgo
creek give ample illustration, were
like those now found in tho warmer
parts of tho United States. This won
derful museum of a buried world has
been sealed up by subsequent lava
floods, and is now accessible only on
the sides of canyons and valleys,
where streams have cut down through
the overlying masses. Tho result of
our summer's work was nearly two
tons of the fossil remains of these ani
mals, a striking proof of tho vast num
ber of thorn which have been pre
served." Mill, lint Triiii-

EniToit OitKfio.v Srorr:
'Last Friday the boys' foot-ball died,
after a short illness of about an hour,
and amid the tears and lamentations
of tho sorrowing friends it was borne
into tho school house where it laid in
state from Friday until Tuesday, when
signs of lifo were scon, and it was im
mediately taken to tho surgeon, Mr.
Joseph Flick, and by his skill and the
tender care of Hon. IJruce McDaniol
and Eddie Payne, wo think it will
sufficiently iccover to begin services
the latter part of this week.
