WORK ON THE WASHINGTON
MONUMENT.

I went to the top of the Washing
ton monument to-day, which is now
about 220 feet high, 20 feet higher
than when congress resumed the
work last year. A splendid eleva-
tor, which cost about $50, 900, and is
the highest in the world, carried us
up. This elevator at the top sup
ports on it's four corner tubes the
four cranes which lay the stone, if
necessary, on the four sides at once.
A little railroad brings in the great
blocks of stone, weighing from two
to six tons apiece, and places them
on the elevator, with a low car be-
meath the stone. The elevator is
open, and / had to sit down and hug
the stone to avoid dizziness and the
horrible tumble down the stone shaft.
The elevator ascends very deliberate
ly and smoothly, and will carry 10
tons. AS the monument is built up
ward, the elevator is mortised into it,
and continues to rise 20 feet at
time.
The blocks of marble, seven feet
long and two feet square, are set as
easily as bricks in French lime and
Portland cement. The block we
went up with was in its place in 10
minutes. The walls at the bottom
are ID feet thick, and at that point,
if there were no cavity, would make
a solid shaft of stone 80 feet thick.
At the point where they are now set
ting stone the walls are only seven
feet thick, and at the top, 500 feet
above the ground, will be only foot
and half thick. The exterior, or
facing of marble, is only four-tenths
of the presnt thickness. The lining,
of Cape Ann granite, is jointed
through at certain spots with the
marble to unite the two sorts of stone
more thoroughly. No iron is used
for bolts or rivets anywhere. Each
marble stone, as described, when put
into place has a cost of $72. The
marble is quarried about 60 miles
from the monument.
The $50 feet of the shaft finished
nearly 80 years ago is miserable work
compared to the present, and the If.
regular stones of that period are the
only suggestions of weakness about
the edifice. The monument can be
finished in cupola on the top, of iron
80 feet higher than the masonry
making $50 feet in all. Every foo
of the shaft has been underpinneC
with a solid apron or platform O.
stone, 100 feet square. At the tol
13 men work constantly, quiet al
pigeons in a barn-cote. The i'm
mense fort of stone at that grea
height is beautiful in its symmetr.
and as large as comfortable dwell
ing. The view is already grand
comprising the whole District of Col
umbia and many miles of Virginia
The city looks like a mass of loos
stones carelessly cast over the plain
with some toy public buildings lyin'
between. The monument is now full
ly two-thirds done, in labor an
) stone. When it shall be 262 fee
; above the ground the present build
ers upon it will have done half of th
work since they resumed its construC
ton. 1t is not safe for weak-heade
people to go up.-"Gath" IN the Cir

CONFLICTING VIEWS.

1t is very difficult for outsiders to obtain
trustworthy idea of the "true inward.
mess " of San Francisco politics. They
held primary election there recently, and
ever since one set of journals has been de-
claring that it resulted in triumph of the
decent elements over the machine" poll.
ticians, while another set have as stoutly
insisted it was complete defeat of the
decent elements by the aforesaid "ma.
" chine men. Nor can anything be ar
gued from the tendencies of the journals
which make these conflicting statements,
for we find those which are supposed to be
the most respectable supporting what other
equally public-spirited papers assert to be
the worst elements. OF course it is impos 81.
BILE that both these contesting journals can
be right but it is utterly impossible for the
public outside of San Francisco to dis.
cover which is wrong, and the general re.
suit of these confusing and irreconcilable
antagonisms is to produce the belief that
the whole business is, as Lord Dundreary
says, "One of those things no fellow can
understand" 1t is pity that there is
no way of settling the question but as the
case stands it is impossible for the rest of
the State to make out whether the late Re.
publican primaries were carried by the
worst or the best people of the city and
curiously enough it does not seem to mat
ter much which was the case, SO far as the
local journals are concerned!

TOM FITCH TO THE FRONT.


Tom Fitch is an orator whose pleasant
voice and horid language can always draw
crowd. Many years ago he delivered
one of his mos. brilliant addresses in the
old American Theater, ON Sansome street.
San Francisco. 1t was at the close of the
campaign of 1867. The house was packed
with an immense crowd, and when the
eloquent Tom reached his glowing perora.
ton he fairly electrified his hearers. They
cheered and threw Up their hats, and
waved their handkerchiefs, and shook
hands. and cried, and kept it up for full
ten minutes. 1t was significant close to
the campaign, so everybody said, and the
candidate for whom Tom Fitch spoke
could not fail of election. Next day the
election was held, snd George Gorham did
not somehow seem to have been helped
greatly by the oratory of the previous
evening. Tom is fifteen years older than
he was then. but really the political situa.
ton is not greatly different from that OF

man. The Republican platform is much
more specific on the railroad question than
that of the Democrats, but it is also much
weaker, and for that very reason. For
while the Democrats have confined them
selves to general propositions, the Repub.
hcans have committed themselves to spe.
ci6c measures, three. fourths of which are
recognized by every lawyer as being I'M
constitutional, and therefore impracticable
The Republicans, in trying to surpass
their opponents, have adopted definite
propositions, the fallacy and stupidity of
which can be clearly exposed, while it is
much harder to demonstrate the dema-
gogism of platform which avoids partic.
ulsrs. Bat the fact that the Republicans
only followed the lead of the Democrats is
the fatal consideration fer them. For it re-.
suits in the logical conclusion that all their
campaign attacks upon the railroad are
merely confessions that the Democrats
have the best right to popular support.
AS by evading the Sunday law question
the Republican Convention left the party
without single issue of consequence
moreover, it seems that there is now no
help for it, and that the Republican speak
ers and organs can only go on to the end
OF the campaign, giving reasons why the
Democratic ticket ought to be elected.

CAMERON ARD THs LAND LEAGUE,

That is q remarkable story which Nc
Clure tells of the plot to sell the votes of
the Pennsylvania Land League to Don
Cameron. 1t is certainly told with par
ticularity which seems to indicate tolerably
thorough knowledge of the circumstances,
and it must be presumed that the narrator
believes what he says, at all events. But
should the Land League leaders whom he
accuses not be able to clear themselves,
the exposure Of their rsscality will have
the effect of completing Cameron's defeat
and discontinue, for no boss" in his
already precarious position could possibly
stand up against such revelation. The
fact of the undertaking to sell out the
vote of the League may perhaps not
greatly surprise those who are versed in
political methods, but in these cases it is
the being found out which constitutes the
crime, and Cameron could never recover
from the wreck of his reputation if this
were proved against him.
