Washington, Jan. 5, if 91.
Mr Harrison and Mr Blaine In their ef
fort to make political capital fur the re
publican party and to aid Mr Harrison in
ecu ring the republican nomination next
. year seem to have made a bad mess of the
Beliring Sea trouble with Great lirUain.
They have placed the United State in n
most undesirable position, where we shall
either have to fight England or become the
laughing stock of the world. The HritUh
minister has it Is sd informed Mr liktlnc
confidentially that his government will fire
upoii any American vessel that attempts
during the comingtsealing season to search
or seize vessels engaged in sealing in Beh
ring Sea under the British flag.
This information has, it is believed,
caused Mr Harrison to delay sending in to
congress the correspondence between Mr
Ulaine and the British foreign office and
his message of explanation, all of which
was ready a week ago. Mr Harrison is
perfectly willing that his administration
should be the cause of stirring up the anti
British feeling, but he hesitates to go to
congress for an appropriation of money
for a real war with England, lie fetts
that congress might brush aside the ad
ministration theories and authorize-the
aibttration which it ha refused. Certaln
y we ar e net in any condition at the
present time to fight Great Britain upon
the water, where wc .vould have to fighti
and the idea of an American backdown is
not a pleasant one to contemplate. There
may be some congressional music on this
subject a little later on.
A democratic conference, Including both
Senators and Representatives, was held
today for the purpose of considering ways j
and means of opposing the newly an
nounced republican method of trying to
force the Force bill to a vo.e in the senate
by holding long continuous sessions lor
the purpose of tiring out the democrats.
It was determined to resist to the end any
and all efforts on the part of therepulicans
to force a vote. Just what form this re
sistance will take will depend entirely up
on circumstances. If the republicans get
a quorum of their own members, which
they are working hard to do, it will settle
down to a question of physical endurance.
Ing about the reciprocity treaty which had
been or would shortly be negotiated witb
Mexico were either Ignorant of the sub
ject or else were attempting Intentionally
to fool the people. The Mexican minister
here sava that no treatv has been negotia
ted and that none is likely t be negotiated
at present, because hU country will not
grant concessions to an administration
that has lost no opportunity to get the
best of Its weaker sitter.
Tint is only an infm tesimsl effect of the
passage of Hill McKinley's McKinley Bill,
Thousands of republicans all over the country
have been uiveo out of their party on account
of it. But we should say the effect is not ill.
it i Bill himself who is ill.
Joe Simons said "wigwag" and therepubli
can party of Oregon bowed obedieacc in sub
missive humility. Joe is a real boss.
Change in IU'mnkhh. From Jan. 1st
1S1U, wo will change our business to a
strictly cash system, thereby enabling
us to luy for cash and get our discounts,
w hereby we can, and will, give our cus
tomers the Ix-nelit. Our Mr 1 11 Muol
ler, wl.IL' east, made arrangements to
buy goods direct from the manufacturers
at the lowest cash prices, and we will
sell pure iroods at the lowest cash tiirure
Believing that the people will appreci
ate a etors where thev can get goods at
cash ligures, we remain, respectfully
vours, Ml'eli.kk & Gakuktt.

f they fail to get a quorum, or to keep one
pi esent it w 111 be easy to block their game
the democratic senators have only to
absent themselves, thus breaking a
qucrum, without which no vote can be
taken.
The republicans have temporarily a
bandoned their gag rules, not so much be
cause of opposition to It in their own ranks
though there is some little, as because,,
after counting noses, they believed that
they could pass the bill without shocking
the large conservative element of the
country by anything quite as revolution
ary as that gag xule, but they will not hes
itate to adopt U if their present plans mis
carry as they are likely to do through the
tubborness of the democratic opposition.
The democratic senators have very little
hope of republican help in defeating the
bill, as it is now certain that not more than j
four republicans will vote against It, and j
The Reason Why. Why Is it that
Klein Bros, can afford to sell boots and
shoes so reasonable? Because1 they are
both practical shoe makers and make parte!
heir expenses by working on the shoe
bench, any boot or shoe you buy of them.
no matter what kind it Is man, womans or
childs, that rip, run over or the sole rips
loose they repair them for vou free of
charge, and as they do all the wotl; them
selves, they don't charge you 25 to 50
cents a pair extra for a warrant to pay
some shoemaker to repair them for vou.
Thev also make a specialty of repairing
rubber boots.

If their votes would defeat the bill k 1 :
doubtful whethei they would cast them.j
they have In deference to the withe of
the constituents, let it be known that they
are oppoied to the bill, but I do not be
lieve that they will cast their votes against
it, utiles certain that they will not affect
the result. In other words they are op
posing the bill for effect at home, and in
the hope of getting democratic votes for
certain legislation in which they and their
constituents are more directly IntereV.cd.
It is generally conceded that the joint
resolution offered by Senator Carlisle au
thorizing the appointment of three com
missioners to act with a like number np
pointed by the Canadian government, in
investigating the commerce of the two
countries and devising means to promote
