McDonald's Moribund Boom.

New York sun DEM
The truth is that the active principle attached
to the Mcdonald boom was all along due chiefly
to the enthusiastic representations in his favor
of Mr.. Watterson. 1t is also true that it-that
is the boom-came to a sudden end at the Ken
lucky convention, when the States Endorsement
was taken away from it and put upon Mr.. John
q. Carlisle. Mr.. Watterson, if he keeps steadi-
ly at it, may succeed in making it breathe again
before the Sth of July; but what show would
a boom that had been Theoretically sealed up for
n month without air or exercise. have against
the vigorous, smashing boom of Blaine that has
been ratified and shaken and dragged over rough
roads as well as smooth for months and years,
and finally rides triumphantly over the booms
of all other Republican candidates, from Arthur
to Lincoln?
When the Mcdonald boom was first buried.
it was the Hon. Henry Watterson who buried
it. Perhaps between now and the Sth Of
July he may bury 1t again. Or perhaps he
wishes to absolve himself from such a respon-
sibility, and would prefer to see it buried by
the Chicago convention.

WAsHINGToN, June lL.-Mr Hewitt was
asked to-day by the Journal correspondent, as
he emerged from the House committee on ways
and means, whether a report would be made on
his free-raw-material tariff bill during this ses-
sion. Mr.. Hewitt is a nervous, impetuous,
crusty man, and wears a frownt that reminds one
that he felt that the worlds cares rest upon his
shoulders. He looked me hard IN the face a
moment-a sort Of unmerciful, acrid gaze
then replied:
"You know as much about it as I do
1t is not believed that a report Will be made
upon the Hewitt bin at this session, nor the
next, and the committee, or a majority of it,
have indicated as much to him Hewitt is tried
of congressional life. He is Disguised, and will
probably not try to ever return.

Bill to Prohibit Mixed Marriages.

National Republican.
Some excitement has been caused among the
colored residents Of this city by the discovery of
a bill which is pending before the House district
committee. The bin was introduced by Repre-
sentative Bennett last January. 1t provides
that all marriages between a white person and
a negro or between a white person and person of
negro descent to the third generation, inclusive,
are forever prohibited hereafter in the District
of Columbia, and shall be void. Every person
violating this section shall be deemed guilty of
an infamous offense, and, upon conviction, shall
be sentenced to suffer imprisonment and labor
for a period of not less than one nor more than
seven years" 1t is understood that Congress
will be petitioned to kill the obnoxious measure,
which they characterize as ''un-American."

WASHINGTON, June 1.-THE passage of the
Mexican soldiers pension bill is considered a
guarantee by many that a bill will be passed be-
fore long to pension all soldiers in the late war.
"If we pension Unfortunately all who served
for sixty days in the Mexican war-thou-
sands Of whom never served a
day in Mexieo-I can't sec why
we should not pension those who stood before
shot and shell for years in the late war" said a
member to-day who supported the bill. This is
the feeling of the great majority in both
branches of Congress, and there is little doubt
that a general pension bin will be introduced
early in the next session and strenuous efforts,
if need be. made to secure its passage.
