WASHINGTON.
News of the Week From Our Rogular Cor
respondent at tho Capital.
Washington has truly been an inter
esting place for tho student of things
nnlilii-:il this wenk. First, oninu tho
decision of the Republican National
Committee of tho time and placo for
holding tho next nominating eonven-
tion of tlio party, which is in reality
tho opening gun of the presidential
campaign. Never before were there
so manv citi7.ens coinpntini: for
,1
privilege of having tho convention
held within their respective limits, and
never before were so many induce
ments offered to secure votes it is
common talk hero that tho convention
cost Minneapolis $100,000, or rather
that Mr. W. II. Eustis, of that place,
pledged tho city for that amount,
which is practically tho same as if it
had been paid. The convention, of
course, is the largest sort of an adver
tisement for Minneapolis, and St. Paul,
but $100,000 is a large sum of money
too.
Tho most notable effect of tho pres
ence of tho National Committeo and
tho delegations of prominont republi
cans from the cities that wanted tho
conventions was tho unmistakable
Blaino aroma which provaded tho
entire town, and which is still here
although tho visitors have mostly gone
home. If this means anything it
means that Mr. Blaino will next year
become the nominee of his party,
unless he positively refuses tho honor.
Whether he will do that or not is a
question. Ho was given lots of oppor
tunities to define his position this
week, when ho was called on by every
republican of prominence who was in
the city, but ho says nothing ; while
those close to him say that he will
accept the nomination if it comes to
him with anything like unanimity.
Meanwhilo President Harrison is
still in tho field, and his friends regard
the selection of Minneapolis for the
convention as a victory for him, but
just why they do so is puzzling to
ordinary people, as tho Minneapolis
and St. Paul 'delegations that wero
hero were all Blaine men, and thoy
did not hesitate to say that nobody
clso was "in it," so far as Minnesota
was concerned.
President Polk, of tho National
Farmers Alliance, expresses tho inter
esting opinion that tho democratic and
republican parties arc on tho verge of
coalescing, and ho cites as corrobora.
tivo testimony editorials in leading
democratic newspapers favoring tho
re-election of Senator Sherman. Col.
rolksaid: "I would suggest that tho
democrats' nominate Cleveland and
Harrison, and the republicans IIa,rri-
son and Cleveland next year. In that
way Wall street would be certain of
compassing its ends, for both parties
are under its domination." When
asked whut prospect there " was of tho
allianco having a candidate of its own
Col. Polk replied : "Well, the mooting'
lo bo held tho 22nd of next Fobuary,
probably at St, Louis or Cincinnati,
instead of here, as at first proposed,
will decide that question."
Tho allianco in tho eighth Virginia
congressional district, just across tho
river from Washington, is running a
candidato against the democrat who
was nominated to succeed tho late
Representative Lee. The allianco
men say thoy were unjustly treated by
the democratic committee, and they
propose lighting back, and thoy have
been promised republican support.
The campaign will bo short, us tlfe
election will take place Dec. 0th, but
the active participation of Represen
tatives Jerry Simpson, Clover, Watson,
Dunning and Ralph Beaumont, of
New York mid Farmer, of Toxas, .will
mako it u lively one.

Crisp claims to have 111, but tho
claim is stoutly disputed by his oppo
nents who maintain that ho has not
more than S.'l. Mills claims to have
1)0, and the claim is generally conced
ed. Since Bynuin withdrew ho has
becomo a valuable assistant to Mills,
Although it is denied, thoro aro good
reasons for believing that McMillan is
prepared to withdraw in Mills' favor
the moment it becomes apparent that
such a withdrawal will result in Mills
nomination. J. II. C

She was thrown from a wagon loaded

Dowell's Mule.
B. F. Dowcll, well-known lo every
old Oregonian, has at last optaincd
from the United States government
payment for his mulq which was
killed by tho Indians on Cow creek, in
southern Oregon, in 1855. Tho full
value which ho claimed for the mule
.15200 has been paid. It rominds ono
very forcibly of Mark Twain's sketch,
"Tho Great Beef Contract," except
that Dowell has been more persistent
in pushing this claim than any other
man could have been for.'JG long yoars.
Harrison R. Kincaid, editor of tho
Eugene Journal, who spent fifteen
years in Washington, and knows tho
old man well, makes, this comment:
"Ho has never rested, and has not
permitted congress and tho oxcculivo
departments of tho government to rent
much either, until finally ho has worn
out tho whole government six gener
ations of senators, eighteen congresses,
nine presidents and hundreds of clerks
and understrappers in tho depart
ments. Other men havo accumulated
millions and the world has been full
of opportunities for Dowell to havo
made vastly more than ho has out of
Oregon war claims in tho .'lb' years he
has battled, for the right and tho
rights of his clients; but ho behoved
ho and they had been wronged by it
great government, and that it was his
ilutv to carrv on the atrticirlo until
thoir rights wero secured, aud ho has
dono it. In downright perseverance
and pertinacity, wo havo never seen his
equal and never expect to see it. He

Editor Oukoon Scout:
I notice in your issuo of last week
an editorial under tho head of "A
British View," in which von co on
with a long tirade against tho MoKin
ley bill, "America for Americans,'
etc., etc., and wind up by saying you
"look upon tho tarilf question as tho
ono great issue of tho day, and until i
is settled other issues must appcar-un
important in comparison. Tim Scout,
true to its principles, will put forth
what littlo inlluenco it has for tho cor
.roction of Mm infamy tho tariff, and
in doing so must, necessarily, side
with the democracy, for that organiza
tion is tho only ono in which tho
hopes of tho people can bo centered
for immediate relief." ,
How great men will differ. Many
of tho ablest democrats in tho United
States doploro tho agitation of tho
tarilf question by thoir party. Charles
A. Dana, of tho Now York Sun, who
is tho ablest democratic editor in
America, warns his parly to ceaso agi
tating tho question or tnoy will meet
with defeat in ".)2. llo says tho ad
vantage of tho situation and logic is
with tho republicans and Major Mc
Kinloy. Tho republicans havo also
tho advivntago of tho practical work
ing of tho bill. Within a year it has
started industrial wheels all over tho
country and opened foreign markets
to our fields and workshops. Tho
free traders may try to ignore facts
and air their theories, but facts aro
stubborn things aud will persist in
forcing themselves on tho people
This advice from so able a democrat
as Charles A. Dana tho parly will do
well to heed. I also noticed in tho
issuo of Thk Scout of Nov. 20th an
articlo credited to tho San Francisco
Examiner, under tho head of "Tho
Treasury Doficit," where tho editor of
that paper pretends to bo alarmed over
our empty treasury, as ho calls it. He
says, among other things in his articlo,
that tho bustoms revenue for October,
1891, foil short of that for October,
1890, about $11,000,000, and says tho
McKinloy bill is tho cause Ho is por
fcctly correct, and wo republicans aro
proud of it, and wo are also proud of
tho so-called empty treasury of tho
United States. Wo intend to win tho
great fight in '92 on tho reduction of
tho custom rovenuos and tho surplus
in tho treasury. All through Presi
dent Cleveland's administration that
gentleman was greatly exercised over
tho increase of tho revenue; ho and
his advisors did not know what to do
with tho surplus. Ho thought it was
a monaco to the nation, aud he was
right, but tho democratic administra
tion could find no remedy, It re
mained for Major McKinloy and tho
republican party to enact laws that
would rectify tho ovil. What docs tho
$11,000,000 reduction of tho rovonuo
for October, 1891, mean? It simply
means that for that month there was
that many less goods imported into
this country from England. Do tho
American people havo to do without
these articles? Certainly not. It
means that tho goods are now being
manufactured in tho United States,
and their production has been made
possiblo by tho McKinloy bill. Who
paid that $11,000,000 additional cus
tom revenue in October, 1890? Was
it upt added to tho price of the goods,
tiiit as tho freight cost was added?
Did not those who bought tho articles
our own people have to pay it.
while tiio cost of their productions
were paid to Europeans aud the mon
ey kept in foreign countries instead of
nr own, while our own mechanics
and Juborcrs wero idlo? Now under
tll0 McKinlev law tho monov is kent
at homo, our own people employed,
and, in consequence, the people of
America have more money o pur

land and his advisors all through tho
lato democratic administration. And
that is not the only way in which the
reduction of that terrible democratic
surplus has benefitted tho people of
America. Uncle Sam's honest debts
havo been paid, and tho money circu
lated back in wages among tho people,
from whence it camo; in tho building
of war ships and fortifications, the im
provement of our rivers and harbors,
aud in the pensions to tho maimed
and crippled soldiers of our great civil
war; in the payment of tho French
spoliation claims that have remained
for over ono hundred years unpaid, to
tho great disgraco of tho United States;
in payment on tho national debt; in
redemption of tho bonds aud in a
thousand ways the money has gono
back into tho pockets of tho people
instead 'of being hoarded up in tho
treasury, as it was all through Presi
dent Cleveland's administration. Ev
ery intelligent person knows and no
ono knows it hotter than the editor of
the San Francisco Examiner, but ho
is only writing it to catch ignorant
votes that money circulated among
tho pooplo is of vastly more benefit to
tho peoplo than though it was hoarded
up in tho treasury. As tho months go
by, and it becomes better understood,
tho MoKinley bill grows in favor with
the peoplo ami that is why tho democ
racy ravo so about it all along tho lino.
Even tho influential English nows
papors now admit that it is a magnifi
cent work of statesmanship and that
it will in all probability in 1892 bo tho
Watorloo of democracy in America.
