News of tho Week From Our Regular Cor respondent at tho Capital. Wasiunhton, September i", 1MH. Enrroit OitKcoN Scour: Mr. Harrison has kept everybody on the tiptoe of expectancy all this week, but further than a few minor appoint ments and the scmi-olHcial announce ment that M. M. Kstee, of California, is to enter the cabinet when it is nor- ganized, no important aiinouneenientfi have been made, although every day a number of important, appointments are expected to be made. There is a continuous Mi cam of prominent call- ers at the White House every day, and fewoftheni leave without putting in an argument for some friend who is an applicant for some ono of the large number of specially desirable places now at Mr. Hauison's disposal. It is probable that a large number of ad - visors, many of whom are here, with out being sent for, are responsible for ' tho delay in making appoint moots. i Thero is a wide discrepancy between statements made by two prominent citizens of North Carolina, both at present in this city, as to the present attitude of the fanners' alliance of Unit state towards the thud party move- inont. Une ol tlieni, Senator liansoin, who is strongly opposed to both tho demands of the alliance and a third party, says thero is no third party in tho state and that there will bo none, because the members of the alliance, with thu exception of a few domn- gogues, are all democrats and will eon- tinuo to bo. The other gentleman, Col. L. L. Polk, who is president of the national farmers' alliance and inestim ably acquainted with tho intentions of tho organization over which ho pre sides, says tho alliance in North Caro lina, as well as in tho other Southern stales, is prepared in a certain contin gency to enter heartily into the third party movement. Tho contingency ia that both tho old parties shall refuse to recognize the demands of I he alli ance. Which of these two men ought to be best posted on this subject? Ex-Kopresentativo (Deacon) White, who was at the head of tho Now York firm that went under this week on ac count of its failure to corner Septem ber corn, wtis well known in Washing ton, where ho served two years in tho House of Representatives, nominally representing a Brooklyn district, but in reality directly representing tho speculators of Wall street, lie has been charged, and his actions con firmed tho charge, with having pur chased a nomination and electiiou to the Hou60 for tho single purpose of gaining an entree to tho floor to lcok after the interests of himself and other speculators. While a membor of tho House he was novcr heard from except there was legislation up that affected his interests. Then ho never failed in a singlo instance to stand up unblush ingly and advocato what would put money in his pookot. Since his term expired he has visited tho capital as a lobbyist whenovcr thero was any like lihood of legislation affecting Wall street. It is a hit of retributive justico that he should have lost his fortune in grain speculation, aftor ho had been instrumental in defeating tho bill, which was beforo tho last congress, to prohibit dealing in futures" and "op tions" on agricultural products. It was charged at the time that ho was tho disbursor of a largo fund raised in Wall street to "Hang up" tho bill, which had been endorsed by tho re publican caucus and which appeared certain to become a law. Ho openly made his boast that ho had put tho bill whero it would not bo hoard from, and it was not heard from again, not withstanding tho offortB of its author ex-Itopresentativo Iluttorworth and others to get it beforo tho House. Washington has this week enter tained two distinguished national bodies -Tho American Congress of Physicians and Hurgcons and tho Amorican Pomological Society. Tho physicians woro tho most numorous, but tho pomologists caught tho popu lar favor by reason of tho handsomo exhibit niado of nearly ono thousand varieties of improved fruit raised by themselves, which was hold in ono of tho rooms of tho national museum building, and which tho publio was permitted to sco and tidmiro. In a room at the poatofllco depart ment there has been a small but Im portant gathering holding mnmIoum every day !

They met here un der orders of Mr. Wanatnakcr for the purpose of tJxehanging experiences and discussing ways and means of impioving the railway mail service. In u speech on the first d,iy the gener al superintendent congratulated his i Hi'iv;"'- that the past llscal year had 'HW I"1' "lost ellicient work in tho ldttiry of the service, the number of ,,n,"s being smaller in proportion to tlu' ""'"'bcr of pieces of mail handled, tlu' ""'I'laints fewer and the compli- 'l"tiry letter moie numerous.

South is thinking of moving to Union for tho betiulit of tho school this winter. Summer has gone, bill is hero, and winter will bo hero in a short time. Who is ready for it? Some of our citizens do not like it because the stage company has quit carrying the Park mail. W. T. Martin was called to Covo re cently to see his sick mother, who is not expected to live. His wife accom panied him. Thoro is no telling how rich Jim and Jack are. You can't toll what thoro is in tho ground until you dig down and see. Professor Pearson, accompanied by his wife, passed through tho Park tho other day on route for tho springB. Ho had a lot of books to sell. Since threshing is over our boys say thoy me lonesome and chaso each other over the hills for pastime. Boys aro boys, if sonic aro old boys. Threshing is all dono in tho Park.
