Editor Okkciox Scout:
Mr. Blnino is very much on top this
week, and his followers are talking him
up as the "biggest" man in the admin
istration at a greater rate than ever,
and Ihe fact seems to he entirely for
gotten that Mr. Maine is a subordinate
ollicer, ami that he could not have ac
complished the things for which he is
being so highly praised without the
consent of his superior ollicer, Mr.
Harrison. It was a positive relief to
many of Mr. Blaine's friends when the
official proclamation of the president
of Brazil opening the ports of that
country on and after April 1, for tho
free eniry of the articles mentioned in
the reciprocity treaty with tho United
States reached here, and was made
public, for there is no denying the fact
that they had allowed themselves to be
partially stampeded by the persistent
circulation of rumors of the treaty hav
ing been rejected by tho Brazilian gov
ernment. Probably one of tho proudest mom
ents of Mr. Blaine's life was when Sir
Julian Pounccfote, the British minis
ter, called on him and presented a
copy of a dispatch from Lord Salisbury
tho British foreign minister, accepting
his proposition made last December,
to submit tho disputed questions con
cerning the Behring Sea seal fisheries
to peaceful arbitration, on the lines as
laid down by Mr. Blaine. Nobody
knows better than tho secretary of
state that had this dispute led to a war
with Great Britain, ho would have been
held personally responsible for it by
many people, who believed honestly
that he intentcd when he accepted a
position in the cabinet to bring about
a war with that country to servo his
own purposes, and the possession of
that knowledge undoubtedly added
lurgoly to his satisfaction in knowing
that he has brought about a peaceable
fco'tlement of this long continued dis
pute, and to a lesser degree this solu
tion of the matter is a great satisfac
tion to a great many people who have
been fearful that it would end in war.
Senator Poflbr and a number of al
liance representatives, including tho
irroprussiblo Jerry Simpson, havo de
voted a gieater part of this week to ul
lianco missionary work in the adjoin
ing state of Maryland, and one of them
informs me that thero is every indica
tion of the alliance being able to elect
a majority of tho next legislature this
fall, and a successor to Senator Gor
man, who in spite of his great popu
larity with the democratic party at
largo has many bitter enemies in tho
party ranks in his own state, who are
standing ready and willing to join tho
alliance in defeating him.
An eminent member of tho farmers'
alliance in a conversation today ex
pressed himself in very strong lan
guage against what ho called tho "sell
out" of tho farmers in tho Illinois legis
lature, which resulted in tho oloction
of Gen. Pnltnor to tho United States
ecnato, when it was possible to havo
elected one of their own mon. "I havo
nothing against Gen. Palmer," ho said,
"but I um in favor of electing a man
who belongs to a farmers' organization
every time tho opportunity presents it
self to do so, and I consider that in this
caso an opportunity was either deliber
ately thrown away or sold, I am not
yet certain which, hut I intend to bo.

Morrison is heard quito often among

Tho trouhlo about oithor of thoso tick

ond placo on the ticket. Ono of Mr.
Morrison's cloo personal friends is ro
sponbiblo for tlio statomont thai ho
could havo had tho second placo on tho
Cleveland tiokot in '88 had ho boon dis
posal! to take it.
Tliuru cuoms to ho uonsldgrublQ un
certainty about wlioii Mr. Harrison will
appoint tlio nine judgos of tho United
States circuit court, provided for in the
new law. It was stated early this week
upon what seemed good authority that
he had decided not to appoint them
until next December, hut there is a
disposition to believe that this state
ment was made to keep oil' the horde
of insistent oilice seckors, including a
number of ox-representatives. Mr.
HarrUon is now away, hut he is expec
ted to return tomorrow. If he propos
es making these appointments soon he
will probably do so before leaving on
his proposed trip to the Pacific const,
upon which he will start within the
j next three or four weeks.

ably Represented at Chicago.
The committee of the state board of
agriculture, consisting of J. T. Appcr
son, Van B. DeLashmutt, 1). S. K. Bu
ick and V. F. Matlock, have issued
the following ;all which is self-explanatory
:
Wo, tho undersigned, a special com
mittee appointed by the slate board of
agriculture to prcparo and issue a call,
whereby at an early date we could se
cure, if possible, tho co-operation of all
the people in having Oregon's material
interests properly represented at tho
World's Columbian Exposition, to be
held at Chicago in 189.', and believing
it to bo important that Oregon should
take some action wherein we could
unite and soouro necessary means to
furnish and plan, whereby said exhibit
could bo made creditable to tho state,
wo respectlully request tho county
courts of tho lespective counties of
this state to designate and secure, if
possible, the attendance of ono or more
delegates to represent said county at a
meeting to bo held at tho Chamber of
Commerce in the city of Portland, on
June 115th at 11 a. in., no county being
entitled to more than five delegates.
We would most earnestly urge upon
the boards of trade in each county,
and all good citizens, to co-operato
with and act in conjunction with each
other in securing tho proper represen
tation to attend the said meeting, so
that each section of tho stuto may as
sist in determining the best means to
secure tho object and purpose of this
call. We aro of the opinion that this
is a matter of vast importance to all
classes of our population and wo leel
assured that if wo can socuro a meet
ing of tho representative men of each
county in the state that they will bo
able to agree upon some method where
upon tho people of tho stato can unito
for the accomplishment of tho object
and purposo of this call, It will remain
for your representatives when assem
bled to determine the cost of, and man
ner of accomplishing tho great object
in view, and wo confidently expect tho
co-operation and assistanco of every
citizen of tho stato, including tho pub
lic press.
Tho people of Oregon must move in
this matter if they wish to keep puco
with tho procession of other Pacific
coast states. Wo respectfully request
tho press of tho stato to givo publicity
to tho above call, so that wo will not
bo under tho necessity of writing per
sonal letters to any ono in this connec
tion. Van B. DkLashmutt,

Bad Stato of Affairs.
Our county at tho present timo, says
tho Shoshono Journal, is in a deplora
bly chaotic condition. Wo have now
two sets of county officers, two boards
of commissioners, two sheriffs, two pro
bato judges, two assessors, two coroners,
and to cap the climax, wo havo two
county scats. Ono set of county offi
cers is hibernating on tho snow banks
of Bellevue, and tho other sot is bask
ing in tho sunshino on tho lava beds of
Shoshone. If you hayo any business
buforo tho board of commissioners and
tho Shoshono board decides against
you, then ignoro that board and go be
fore tho Bellevue board. If you steal
something and Sheriff Jack Campbell
of Bollovuo arrests you, then you can
ask Sheriff Bubo Bobbins of Shoshono
for protection. If you havo a deed you
want recorded and Wcs Georgo char
ges you too much, you can toll him to
keep his littln recorder's office in Bollo
vuo, for you can record your deed
chcapor beforo Fred Chamberlain at
Shoshono. If Fred Hastings, tho eld
assessor wtih headquarters in tho snow
bankH, assessed your property too high
toll him you wont stand it, for Hilly
Wells, who is in tho samo business on
tho lava. beds, will do a better job for
you. Tho fact is, "you pays your tax
es and takes your choice" of tho coun
ty olllciaU.
