WASHINGTON. Our Weekly Letter From the National Capital. THE CALDRON BEGINNING TO BOIL Herman J. Shultels Makes Some Observa tions on Board an Immigrant Steamship. Washington. Xovemvcr .. l.sgi. Editor Orkgox Scout: Tlio National political caldron, which hns been cold for several months, is now beginning to bubble and in a few days more it will begin to boil in such a lively manner as to keep the eyes of the entire country focusscd upon Washington for a year to come. Fuel will bo furnished by the republi cans, the democrats and tho alliance men. The democrats arc starting oft' with the speakership light, which daily grows warmor and warmer, the result of which will determine whether the democratic chances for next year are to be hurt or helped. A new and unexpected complication has been sprung this week by tho declaration of Tammany Hall for Crisp. It is difficult to say at this time whether Mr. Crisp will be injured or benefitted by this support. A month ago almost any well-informed man would have said that it would kill his chances ; but in politics as in other things "nothing succeeds like success," and tho great majority by which tho democrats carried New York state in a campaign in which Tammany Hall was made the principal issue, has given that organi zation greater political prestige than it ever had before. Its leaders are shrewd ; they know that tho vote of Nov York is absolutely necessary to democratic success next year, and they claim to control that vote. Whatever its final result, Tammany's support has given Crisp a temporary boom. After congress meets and tho speaker of the house is elected, things in Wash ington will begin to grow extremely interesting. While there isn't much probability of any important legisla tion being enacted, owing to the senate's being republican and the houso democratic, it is upon the floors of the respective chambers that tho preliminary moves of the presidential campaign will be made, by making known the intention of both parties, while the alliance men in both bodies may bo relied upon to give both democrats and republican an oppor tunity to vote for or against all of tho measures adopted by that organization. The wisdom of giving the labor organizations representation unon tho itho commission sent to Europe by tho treasury departmenet, to investigate immigration, under an act of the last congress, has been fully demonstrated by tho verbal report of Mr. Herman J. Bchultcis, who was appointed as the representative of the federation of labor. Mr. Schulteis came over in the steerago of a European steamer in disguise, as an "assisted" immigrant, and ho dis covered that aboard of ono vessel there wore more than a hundred of tho same class, and that tho most shocking immoralities were practiced in tho steerage and participated in by mem bers of the crew of the ship. Ho also discovered that there is a lot of crook edness on the part of our own officials n this immigration business. These ditcoverits havo made Mr. Bchultcis a target for tho abuse of tho steamship pcoplo and tho ring which is in collusion with them to laud undesirable immi grants in this country, but Becrutary Foster promised him this week when ho. was hero that he would see that ho had ample opportunity to provo all ho charged, and (lint ho would, if lie iiiccoedud, ttnnd by liim to tlio urul. Mr Hrhiilleu cuiin-hoio from Wjuuon tin uiitio yearn ago, ami ho lui lung boon -TO LAY IN OUR SUPPLY OF- prominent in labor circles. He is a member of the National committee named by the convention, which organized the people's party at Cincin nati. Secretary Rusk does somo plain talking in his annual report about tho placing of hides on the free list by the McKinley tariff law. He says: "The large quantities of hides which arc being shipped to the United States from foreign countries, and aro admit ted free of duty, havo caused a great depreciation in tho prices realized for hides of domestic production. This has had a marked tendency toward keeping down the prico of cattle, and has, consequently, added to tho bur dons of our agricultural population." Tho secretary recommends that the president tako advantago of tho recip rocity clause of tho MoKinloy law, which authorizes him to restoro tho old duty upon hides shipped from any country which shall not by the first of January, 18!)2, havo granted equal concessions by tho free admission of the agricultural products of tho United States, to put the duty back upon hides shipped from those countries which havo not entered into reciprocal agree ments with us. It is expected in administration circles that a reciprocity agreement with Mexico will bo officially an nounced within thirty days. Minister Ryan, who was hero the first of tho week to receive Mr. Blaine's final instructions concerning the details, is now on his way to Mexico. Mr. Wanamaker thinks tho export ment of free mail delivery in small places is a success, and will recommend in his animal report that congress appropriate money enough for its general extension. J. H. C. ELGIN NOTES. Gleaned From the Newsy Pages of the Elgin Recorder. Messrs. S. F. Singlotary and Arthur Ilallgarth will give a grand masque rade ball in Tompson's hall, in this city, on Christinas eve. "Uncle" Jo Harris has purchased the farm on tho Flat known as the Tom Rarnes ranch. It consists of 1C0 acres and was purchased for $2,1)00. A good bargain. I). Sommer is putting material on tho ground for tho construction of a new store building, which wo under stand will be used, when complete, as a hardware store. Win. Ezell returned from I'ortland Tuesday evening, whoro ho had been with a load of fat hogs. He reports a pleasant and proiitablo trip. If Elgin precinct contained a few more rustlers like Mr. E. there would always bo a market found for our surplus products. Within tho last two weeks two well known citizens of this county havo disappeared irom La Grande, or its immediate vicinity, in a very mysteri ous manner; tho first of theso is R. B. Wightman of this precinct. Mr. W. went to La Grande Saturday, tho 11th day of Nov,, and sinco that timo no trace of him can bo discovered by his friends, and unless he took it sudden notion to visit Ins family, who live back east, there is but little doubt that ho has been foully dealt with. Mr. Wightman has been it resident of this section for nearly two years and is looked upon as an upright, industrious citizen, and the manner in which ho left his business hero causes his friends to fear tho worHt.

They purchased a lot of clothing of E. 1. McDaniel it Son, who sell that lino of goods tho cheap est. Tho difl'erenco botween tho weather at this placo and La Grande is a fea ture that bcicutists should record, for Monday it was quite pleasant hero, not storming at all, but rained most all day at La Grande. A short timo ago somo party or parties hauled a load of barley from Mr. Powell's granary on tho Reed ranch. It is tho genoral opinion that tho thieves are verv hard up to stoal barley ut tho present prico of tho grain. Leighton Academy was reoponed Tuosday morning with a fair attend ance.

Wolf creek's lady representatives at tho Thanksgiving ball wcro tho Misses May and Dora O'Dryant and Lucy Gorham.

Every person was pleased with the Thanksgiving ball given by tho North Powder vLodgo of I. O. O. F. J. M. Gilkinson and John Craig, the efficient floor managers, deserve credit for the manner in which the ball was con ducted. Wo understand that there will be a meeting at North Powdor Friday night for tho purposo of organizing a lyce um, and we do trust that it may bo a success, as there is nothing that can bo of more bonciit to any community than a good lyceum. After a few days rest of his ponder ous brain, and ample exercise of his pipe stems, tho Prodigal Son took his way toward tho rising sun where he expects to become fabulously wealthy in mining quartz, composed princi pally of succor stono and green core. Abcut a week ago Mr. Thomas O'Dryant was kicked by a horse, but not thinking that he was badly hurt did not call a doctor till Friday, when Dr. Diggors was called and found that his log was broken. Owing to Mr. O'Dryant's age, and tho nature of tho break, ho will havo to undergo a long siege before he will bo ablo to get around. Moro Anon. NORTH POWDER NUQQETS. Somo wot weather at present. W.
