OUR WAAHlNGTON LETTER.
From our Regular Correspondent.

II the new officials connected with
the Pension Office desire to get their
hands in upon the subject OF lnvesti-
cations, | would recommend as
good field for the business the highly
moral City of Brotherly Love, Phla-
delphia, where the pension agent is
said to have been paying pensions to
numerous parties who have been de-
funet for 10! these many years, to say
nothing Of small regiment Of wild
ows who have also been the recipients
of Uncle Sans bounty, after they
had thriftily provided themselves with
husbands.
The civilities that are due to the
people from their public servants,
should prompt the latter to furnish
seats in the corridors of the several
departments for the accommodation
and comfort of their employers, the
people. To have men and women
waiting hour after hour with no place
to rest their weary limbs, after their
tramping incursions through our in
termlnable thoroughfares, is some
thing not to be placidly borne. 1t
would seem that it would be entirely
feasible to have waiting-room fur.
nished with proper seating facilities
for the use OF the great number of
people who have business with the
department.
1t is a somewhat sad commentary
upon the morals of the population OF
the District Of Columbia, when the
President is SAID to be looking else
where for men to fill the District Of
fees. | know that the air of the cap
ital must necessarily be impregnated
with all sorts of political diabolism
but really supposed that half doz-
Ell good men might be discovered
somewhere, who would be competent
and honest enough to fill the few Of
fees here.
1t is said that some of the depart
ments at least, are going to enforce
that provision of the statute in Sec
100, Il. s., which prohibits any clerl
or other person who has been in th'
service OF the Government, from pros
ecuting any pending claim before an.
of the departments within period o
two years after his connection witt
the service has ceased. The inten
of this law, that the Government shall
not permit itself to be placed to
disadvantage in the adjudication o
claims. is so apparent that | wonde
that there should be any hesitation
upon the part of any department il
enforcing it to the letter.

work in the Pension Office that ha

1t Is with feelings Of qualification
we announce to our readers that the
efforts Of some Of our leading clti-
zens TO secure terms for shipment to
the east Of the surplus cattle and
horses Of the region, seems about to
be crowned with success. Hearing
Of the intention Of Messrs. Klrkman
and Small 4 Miller Of this city, and
Mr.. Day, Of Dayton, to explore the
unknown marts Of Chicago In search
Of the wherewithal, Mr.. Eckenber-
ger, representing the Chicago &
Northwestern railway, on Sunday
accompanied Mr.. VIM. Kirkman to
this city from Portland, and held u
conference with the gentlemen most
prominently identified with the ex-
tensive venture. As a result there
will leave here for Chicago In a few
days 20 car loads Of cattle consigned
by Mr.. Klrkman and associates to
Chicago dealers, several car loads Of
horses for the same destinBtlo con-
signed by Small 4 Miller, and a num-
Der Of car loads Of horses to be sent
by Mr.. Day, Of Dayton. These ami
mails will be sent direct to the Chica-
go stock yards, where 1t Is ANTICIPATED
they will be sold at price which
will give Il small margin to the
shippers
II the effort is crowned with sue
cess at once we will be placed in q
position to lift the cloud Of financial
embarrassment hanging over us,
and the valley will be In possession
Of q golden key to the door Of pros
perity, so long and successfully lock-
ed against us. That 1t will not be a
failure, we have the prophecy Of the
men engaged in the enterprise, and
who, having carefully scanned the
field. have discovered nothing but
success attending on the enterprise.
They are all men Of business sagaci-
ty and 1t is presumed their right
hand has lost none Of its cunning In
this momentous enterprise, 50
fraught with the immediate allevia-
tion Of our wants.

The influx OF strangers Is very
large at present, almost too large for
the season. There Is already a sur
plus Of miners and laborers, and un-
les some Of our creek claims start up
soon there will necessarily be a deal
Of grumbllng from the unemployed.
Tho side gulches and hill claims
give occupation to a pretty large
force, but the main body Of miners
must look to Prichard creek. A vast
field, however, presents itselfto pros
peetors, and In "a few weeks the snow
will have disappeared sufficiently to
give all those who desire to search
for new locations a good opportunity
to do so. Men Of small and large
means will find a good opening for
investment almost anywhere In the
camp. Capital Is necessary to de-
velOp many Of our placer claims,
and until 1t comes these claims must
lie idle. Besides, quite a number Of
our miners, who have good proper
ties, are willing to part with a por-
ton OF their claims to provide the
necessary funds to bring them for
ward as producers. Although there
Is no agency or brokerage established

The New York SIm says Of Phelps
appointment "NO political. reason
whatever Is apparent for giving such
an Office to a citizen Of Vermont, as
that state Is hopelessly republican"
The Herald, in interviewing well
known New YOrkers on the appoint
ments, found Hubert o. Thompson,
who said. 'Cleveland's appoint
ments, so far, have gratiHed all Of his
democratic friends In New York,
but the nomination OF Phelps, Of
Vermont, as minister to Great Brit
ain, is a great disappointment to ev-
cry democrat in this state"
The Herald reports leading law
yer as saying: '"These nominations
must have proved startler to old
time politicians, when young blood,
some Of 1t almost unheard Of In this
neighborhOOd, Is pushed to the front
and such old war horses as Thurman
and Mcdonald are forgotten. There
Is not war horse In the lot. Worse
than this, the finest mission In the
heap goes to Vairmount, the most
hide-bound and moss-grOwn repub-
lican state in the union. II Is q

l. s. Kaufman, one OF our most en-
ergptic and successful real estate
agents, who has conducted q very
large and lucrative business In our
city for long time, has at last come
to the conclusion that he could not
attend to his rapidly increasing pat
rOnage without the aid Of an active
partner, and so has associated with
himself in the real estate, loan and in-
surance business Mr.. George 0dell.
His choice has fallen on a worthy
young man, and Mr.. X. here aga In
exhibits his wisdom and Perspicnlty,
as he does In all 0chis ventures. Mr..
Odell has been In Mr.. KRufmAn's Of
fee as clerk, assistant and adviser
for long time and Is entirely con-
versant with the ins and outs Of the
whole business. He Is a thorough
business man, is popular with the
public, and fair and honorable in all
his dealings. The new firm Of Kauf-
man 4 Co. Is a strong one and we
expect to see Its members thrive and
gather In a comfortable compency

Wednesday Chas. Carson received
from Coeur PAlene city a box OF
trout, which he exhibited for sale in
front OF his restaurant Members Of
the local Rod and Gun club at once
we're apprized Of the fact, and, under
Instructions Of the president OF the
club c. C. Burnett, swore out war
rant for the arrest OF Mr. Carson for
having trout In his possession In
violation Of the game laws Of this
territory. The case was set for 10
Thursday morning, and at that
hour Judge Weeds Office was crowd
ed with members Of the club and
some Of our leading attorneys. The
club was groomed by District Attor-
ney Hyde, while Mr.. Carson's inter
ests were cared for by Joe Allen and
A. Munter. The case was to be made
a test, and the testimony Of our most
expert anglers was taken, the ques-
tion seemingly hinging upon the
species Of the fish. Among those
present and Interested were the fol-
lowing gentlemen, most Of whom
are members Of the Rod and Gun
club; Rev. C. c. Burnett Thos. C.
Grifitts, ]. N. Kinnaird, Geo. For
ster, Col. @. H. Morgan, A. II. Por-
ter, Harry Gordon, DR.. Campbell,
DR.. WhItehouse, Harry Hayward
and others. Messrs. Gordon, Nor
gan. Lockhart, Whltehouse, Porter
and Hayward were put on the stand
and closely examined as to regard to
the character Of plate OF lsh on the
table, and a portion OF the lot offered
for sale by Mr. Carson. After hear
ing the testimony the case was ably
argued by the attorneyS The arRu-
ments In the case consumed the time
until after 2 O'Clock. Judge Weed
summed up the case and the section
Of the statute bearing on the same
briefly, fairly and clearly, and con-
sidering 1t a question Of vast i'm
pOrtance to have higher court de-
eide upon the law, bound Mr.. Carson
over in the sum Of SIOO to appear be-
fore the District court

Thursday the nIne-year-old sou
Of DR.. Bevan, Of our city, failed to
put In an appearance at the Paternal
home and the mother and father
were very much troubled over his
absence. Dillgent Inquiries were set
on foot and the very latest informa-
ton that could be gained Of his
whereabouts was the statement
made by some OF his youthful COM
panions that the last they had seen
Of him he was on the top Of one OF
the cattle cars, at the cattle pens in
the eastern part OF town, Of the
special train that passed through the
city about O O'Clock in the evening.

Prof. and Mrs. l. c. Libby have
reason to feel highly gratifed over
the result Of the exhibition, given
under their immediate direction, by
the scholars Of their EnglIsh and
Classical school Tuesday evening. The
seating capacity Of the opera house
was taxed to Its utmost limit by Ia
dies and gentlemen interested in

pant was awarded liberal applause.
The speaking, on the whole, was
good, and the music very enjoyable.
The shiidren showed careful train
ing, and reflected great credit upon
their instructors. Where all did
well, Il would be lnvidious to speak
particularly Of any particular one.

the judges, Miss VeOla Kirkman was
awarded the first prize and Miss ].
Hazel Dart the second prize. The

During Thursday night, Mrs.
Thompson, proPrietrcss Of the Impe-
rial restaurant, was awakened by
noise In the hall Of the establishment,
her apartment being on the west
side Of the hall. Through the cur
tain Of the glass door she observed a
light, and, concluding that all was
not right, shouted out to some Of her
dodgers. Upon her giving the alarm
footsteps were heard In the hallway.
Upon investigation, 1t proved that
the house had been ralded by sneak
thieves. The front door was left
unlocked for The benefit Of rOomers,
and by that means the thieves enter
ed. Quite a quantity Of wOmen's
clothing was hanging in the hall.
All that was taken, and large trunk
containing female wearing apparel
was rified. The loss includes a very
valuable lady's cloak, a good rubber
water proof and no end Of dresses,
underclothlng, etc. Suspicion point
ed to two or three tramps that have
been seen about town for q day or
two, but 50 far no arrests have been
made. The loss falls pretty heavily
on Mrs. Thompson and her daugh-
ter. 1t Is to be hoped that the guilty
parties may be apprehended, for 1t is
not pleasant TO know that sneak
thieves are roaming at large about
town. 1t Is the first theft Of the kind
that has occurred here for some time
and people are somewhat of their
guard. This will have the effect Of
making house keepers a little more
careful.

When at work at fire or out on
practice the department property Is
JeopardiEed by men carelessly drlv-
ing vehicles over the hose. With a
heavy water pressure on no hose can
safely be driven over and as a pro-
lection to that expensive item Of the
fire department the city has passed
an ordinance providing punishment
for those who violate the provision
warning the public from driving
over hose. When on practice last
Friday evening, several teams care
lessly drove over the line Of hose.
Those who saw the act failed to
bring the necessary charge in all but
one case. Alderman Forrest OBJ
served a man .cross the hose with a
lumber wagon. Considering Ordin-
ances q dead letter II not enforced
and determined to make an example
Of the party he preferred charges and
the driver was arrested. The trial
came of yesterday and on account OF
the first offense the party was only
fined SLOO and costs. 1t will be q
warning to the teamsters to keep of
hose in the future, and Mr.. Forrest
deserves credit for moving in the
important matter.
