Cause OF Party Dissatisfaction.


The Washington Critic publishes
the following interview OF Repre-.
sentative Catehings:
There are more candidates for
Congressional nominations in
Democratic districts tllis year than
have ever known before said
Representative Catchings of Mis-
sissippi to q Critic man, 'sand,n he
continued, Aas consequences the
Democrats who want to come
back, and those who have not that
desire are mighty few, have had
and are now having an unusually
hard time. The cause of III
Patronage, of course. For the
nrst time since the war We have
q Democratic administration, and
many of our constituents were
confident that all they had to do
after the 4th Of March, 1886, was
to ask for an Office and It would
be theirs. They wanted offices,
and they wanted them bad. | do
not believe that there are less than
sixteen or twenty applicants for
every Federal Office in the country.
Now, we oil know that no Member
Of Congress could satisfy them all
even If he had the President with
him, which be has not. The con-
sequence is dissatisfaction with
the sitting Member; and, of
course other men, anxious to serve
their country in Congress, haye
sprung up as candidates aud they
have made it warm and are yet
making it warm for the man who
is in. The vast majority of Dem
ocratic Members have since the
4th Of March, 1886, been having
their first experience with Federal
patronage, and a very wearying
and unsatisfactory experience it
has been, too" "You think, then,
that the people Of the country are
dissatisfied with President Cleve-
land ~ "By no means. It is ex
actly the contrary. The President
has the people with him; there is
no doubt Of. You see the dissat.
isfaction in the Congressional dis.
tricts does not reach to the White
House; 1t stops at the Member of
Congress and is famed by infiu
entail men who would like to be
Members of Congress themselves. |
The fact is the Democratic Mem.
Der of Congress is simply q buffer. |
1t is he who has to sustain the |
concusslon between the man who
wants an Office and the office that |
he does not get"

The improvement Of IHterler Hater-
WAYS.
Times. .Demoerat.I

The United States, with the
grandest possibilities in the way
Of internal water communication,
is the most backward of all clyi.
lized countries in improving its
rivers and harbsrs. Germany has
spent more money on the Elbe
than the United States on the
Mississippi and ell its tributaries,
and the expense of improving the
harbor of Cherbourg, France, is
greater twice over than the cost
to this government of all its river
and harbor bills.
What advance Europe has made
in this matter while this country
has Jagged behind, stood almost
still. 10 shown in the meeting In
Vienna last month of delegates
from the principal continental
countries of Europe in q sonven.
ton for the promotion of inland
shipping. The congress recon.
mended that the junction of the
European rivers by canals should
be carried forward after q plan
proposed by Prussia, and that the
dimensions Of canals and sluices
should be uniform and larger than
formerly, so that the steamers
used on the rivers could run in
the canals also. General rules
were also adopted for the regula-
tion ofinland shipping, aud partic.
ularly of provisions for prevent
ing any monopoly in traffic. In
fine, Europe is adopting a system
OF international river and harbor
improvements which will give
easy water communication be-
tween all parts Of that continent,
and IL doing this on a general plan,
and without regard to national
boundaries, while this country
hesitates to attempt the improve.
ment of streams entirely within its
limits.

Spokane Fall, Wy. T., July 1o.-
Great excitement prevails here
to day over the rumor that the
Calispel Indians had threatened
to massacre the settlers In Koote-
mai county. Some time ago these
Indians showed signs of discon.
tent, and Gen. Wheaton sent a
troop of cavalry into the Calispel
Valley to protect the settlers. The
Indians now claim that the troops
drove them out of the valley and
they threaten vengeance. The
farmers at Wild Rose Prairie.
about seventeen miles north of
here, became panlc. stricken, and a
large number arrived here today
with their families. Gen. Carlin,
at Fort Cgur d'Alene, has been
notified of the threatened trouble.
but as II takes time to move troops,
and the rumors were SO startling,
Judge Turner, of this district, or.
ganized a volunteer company of
twenty men, who left hare this
afternoon and will aid In protect
ing the settlers along as necessary
or until the troops arrive.
