Who lured heron to the path of sin,
Then left her, despairing, in her direst need.

With hands folded mutely o'er sin-ladoned

With past errors hidden from sight.

this, that or other candidate for the
'Speakership ot tlte Houw haVo'.been
denied by Inith gentleman, nnd a great
feeling of uncertainty is in the ir.
The later eundifates in the field arc
making war in common ng.iinst Mr.
Koed. They y he has alwuys been
against Western interests; that he is
opposed to-extended silver coi'ingo,
ott They add Unit his i lai. n of title
to the speakership bv:ni: h was t ho
I banner be.ircr When the honor was
only an canity one, a'u id. They
; claim thm the lnmor w,i. only Riven
him before at hi-i earnest M.'.ieitation,
as he bellevetl it woul I help him to be
cloctexl tQ eongrt'ss. This talk, comes
tnostlv from the friends of candidates
' other than Mr. MeKinly, whose plie.y
it is t b" on good terma with lr.
I Ketd.a) that in the event of the elect
j ion of either, the other will have the
. best committee of tho House. Trud
; ing for committeeship will be brisk
, for tho next two wcokj. While nil tho
j candidates talk confidently of their
' chancos only three or four have any
I ical faith' in themselves.
; Congressional visitors to tho execu
I tivo mansion complain bitterly of the
! dillieulty of seeing the president,
j They miv that ho has no time to give
anyone hut his cabinet ollieers. As
j these gentlemen have tho cntreo at all
i times, it would seem uujust that they
I monopolist the two hours given to
I other visitors. Almost every morning
i tho carriages of two or three cabinet
officers can be eeeu around tho White
ITou.so from 10 to 12 o'clock. A con
gressman who calls with a constituent
and is turned away day after day nat
urally feels mortified. Jt humbles him
and injures his strength at home.
Tho new senator will begin their
legislative careers by unking such
senators as huvo seen the shortest ser
vice to combine with them for a re-organization
of the force of senate em
ployees. The civil service system has
so restrict d tho number of offices
available for rewarding folkwers that
a new deal is demanded, , Old senators,
like Edmunds, Allison, Sherman and
Hoar, ha gobbled up all the offices
in sight and thir followers have hold
them for a score of years. Senatorial
courtesy in this matter, as in others,
is bound to lecive a rude shock. The
present oftievrs of.tlie senate mo great
ly exercised ovur tho rumor.
Tho fight forjthe exposition oi 182
has beun definitely opened by tho ar
rival of Colonel .lonea and Governor
Francis, of Missouri, tho missionaries

headquarters are at WillnrdV. The
Chicago representatives huvo been

tho windy city before congress will bo

Washington promoters met last night
but no dotinito action was tuken. It
is intended to give a dinner to tho del
egates to the Pun-American Congress
e uly in December, probably about the
10th, as on that date tho governors of
the states interoslod in the Philadel
phia contonary will ull be in Washing
ton. Tho finance committue of the Na
tional Hoard of Promotion of the thrco
Americas exposition has issued a cir
cular, urging all the citizens of tho
District of Columbia to bign a memo
rial to congress, asking that Wash
ington bo selected as the site of the
World's Fair in 1892. The inemorjftl
proposes tho issuance of $ 15,000,000
of District of Columbia bonds an h
guarantee fund for the expenses of the
oxpoiition in case congress .Oiould
think it nccossary.
Tho attompt of Delegate Hall, of
England, and his associates to ruu the
Maritime Couferonue to suit them
selves was defeated by the combination
of tho United States and rt.tuth Ameri
can dologntos. The "Hoard at White
hall," as it is called, opposed the con
gress from the iintt and only joined in
its doltborutipji tiy order ot tlia gov
ernment. The Board i th- antiquat

fixed marine regulations in Great
Britain. When tho conference was
iirst proposed .tlris organization felt,
shocked and grieved that any body of
men on the face of the earth should
have to supersede its authority. They
did finally consent to enter the con
ference for the discussion of one sub
ject only, via: the "rules of the road."
These settled they would refuse fur
ther participation in the deliberations.
By tho circumlocution oilice this state
of affairs reached the ear of Ixml Sal
isbury, who immediately ordered that
the English delegates should partici
pate in the entire conference. This
order was imperative, but in revenge
Messrs Uallet al have engaged passage
for homo for December 11, and en
deavor by every possible means to
rush through the business that must
be completed before they le.ive. Bus
iness was rushed through lust week in
indecent haste, without consideration
or discussion.
A $2jO,000 suit for slander would
not add relish to most men's turkey,
but certainly tho fact that Samuel
Strong hud filed such suit against him
on Wednesday did not all'eet. tho
cheerful spirit of Ben Butler. Tho
Butlor-Stiong legal wrangle is a fam
ous one. Gen. Butler brought suit
against Mr. Strong several months
ago for a considerable sum of money,
which he asserted was duo him as con
tingent fees out of tho award made to
Mr. Strong. The suit had sonic high
ly spicy features, among which was
tho production of a document, pur
porting to bo signed by Gen. Butler,
in which ho agreed to accept a much
smaller sum than that claimed in the
suit. Gen. Butler denounced this doc
uinenfas a forgery, and Mr. Strong
now sues. ,1. H. O.

An Answerto "W'a" Rjcent Article oa
This Wooly Question.
Cove. Or.. Dee. II, 1SS0,
EniTou Okkuo.v Scout:
In the last issue of Tin: Scout I Miw
a communication .signed "W."in which
he says the protection on wool is a fa1--lacy.
" '
The democrats during tho campaign
of 1SSS objected to being called free
traders, but since the last election their
talk and articles are all for free trade;
they proclaim it from east to west,
no matter whether it is called tarilf
for revenue or tariff reform, it signifies
no protection to American industry.
Thoro is a sample of this kind of tarilf
on tin plate, and England is furnish
ing all we use. If wo had a tarilf that
did protect, we would make tin plate
here, and pay a large por cent of the
30,000,000 that now goes to English
workmen to Americans, giving about
40,000 men employment and keeping
them from competing for our places,
giving them money to purchase goods,
and other men the work of making
them.
Who wants free trade? Tho labor
ing man? No; they are Hocking from
free trado countries to got tho benefits
of the tariff. Do business men want
it? No; they understand that labor
pauperized will not benefit thom. Do
tho farmers want it? No; they need
their products protected more, Who
then docs want it? England, tho im
porters, the bond holders, tho misgui
ded South and democratic politicians.
They want anything that will be mon
ey in their pockets. They want it re
gardless of pauperizing tho working
man, and taking children from school
and putting them in work shops, and
huvo this liko England, a government
of classes. England does not care, and
why should it if wc don't know
enough to make our ballots protect us
wh'on the tarilf makes us tho best paid
laborers in the world?
Tho freight from this state to Now
York on goods and produco is greater
than it is from Liverpool to Now York.
Consequently a tariff for rnvenuo only
means less pay for us than they got in
Liverpool, or no work. Comparo tho
statistics of paupers officially given in
1880. England had ono to ovory thirty-three
inhabitants; America, one' to
every five hundred and sixty-five, and
Europo sont us a largo por cent of
thom. And yet wo learn that tho tar
iff is robbing us.
Tho democratic administration un
dertook to show us that with wool on
tho freo list, wo would lose money
on tho wool that wo sell and get rich
on tho clothes which wo .buy. It
would seem to bo a now discovery, an
overturning of all ideas of commerce
to lose money on that which wo have
to sell, but got rich on that wo buy.
That is not customary nowadays. My
idea is that "W" or anyone else would
never becomo a bloated bond holdor in
that way, yet, as I understand it, that
is Grover Cleveland's plan.
Brazil seeks in European markots
for tho wares sho desires becauso Eu
ropean prices aro lower than ours, and
they aro lower for no other reason than
that tho wages paid European laborers
aro lower than tho wages paid Ameri
can laborors, and of course wo aro go
ing to got the world's commerce, and
hold it, the first thing to do is to forco
down the wages of tho American work
man ; to force them not only down to
tho European lovel, but below them,
because wo must undersell these ri
vals of ours if wo must soizo and hold
tho markets of which wo aro now su
premo. Thoreforo if congress is to
legislate at all concerning tho matter,
it must begin by legislating to roduco '
tho wages of American workingmen
until thoy aro lower than European
wages, and if European wages should
bo forced furthor down, then measures
must bo adopted to push ours still
downward toward tho labor prices of
China. And the chances that an
American congress will ongago in such
ruinous Tom-foolery aro so small that
"W's" grand children will bo gray
headed beforo any intelligent human
being in congress over thinks of 6uoh
a Bchomo as worthy a moment's atten
tion. J, G.
