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

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.

Ilallgarth will give a grand masque

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.
