WASHING TON LETTER.


the land grant forfeiture bill was
under discussion. He charged that
scheme had been organized here
in Washington to get possession,
through fraud, of valuable portions
of the lands to be forfeited under
the bill.
In the belief that in case the lands
are forfeited, the settlers who have
purchased from the railroads, to
which the lands were granted, will
lose their claim and title, men have
been hired to go to these lands and
enter homestead or presumption
claims. Should the lands be de-
clared forfeited, the railroad title
would thereby be rendered null and
void, and, of course, settlers who
have purchased from railroads
would have no title. AS the lands
would be thrown open TO public
settlement, the plan of the schemers
is to have their agents establish
homestead or pre-emption claims,
and then upon the forfeiture claim
the lands under the public land
laws. This little game did not work
though, because entries not made In
good faith are not legal, neverthe-
less in order to be sure of protecting
the settler, Mr.. Hoar offered an
amendment TO the bill, TO make good
the title of the purchasers of land
from the railroads upon the pay
ment of 1925 per acre for the land.
The Senate committee on agri-
culture has made favorable report
on the bill to enlarge The powers
aud duties of the Department of
Agriculture, and to make the head
of that Department a member of
the cabinet. This Is the same bill
that was posed by the Senate at the
last session Of Congress. 1t should
become law at once; the immense
agricultural interests of this, the
greatest agricultural country in the
world, deserves representative in
the cabinet.
Senator Cullom has withdrawn
from the Presidential race.
Senator Sawyer, of Wisconsin, is
preparing to build a handsome
brown stone residence in this city.
Senator Blair has introduced a
bill providing for the distribution
of public documents to public Ii
braries, 1t entities each city, County,
state and college library to one copy
of every public document printed
by the Government upon filing with
the librarian of Congress a written
agreement to care for and preserve
the same.
Senator Paddock bill providing
for the erection of public building
in all towns where the gross postal
receipts for the three years past
have exceeded $4,000 per annum,
has been favorably reported to the
Senate. The cost of these buildings
shall in no case exceed $3.50 and
the cost of the site shall not exceed
5000 It's probable that the bin
will be passed by the Senate at an
early'day.
The number of bonds offered to
the Government under the recent
circular has been comparatively
small, less than s8,oo0,oOo.
Senator Voorhees,, Of Indiana,
made one of his olatime regulatiye
copperhead speeches in the Senate
on Wednesday, His attacks are
periodical, but fortunately not very
frequent
Representative Hatch, of Mis-
souri,, proposes to introduce a sub
stitute for the pending bin taxing
compound lard, which will tax all
compound food products and make
violation Of its provisions a mis-
demeanor.

If George William Curtis will
only keep right on at fair gait,
walking the circular path he is now
in, he will get back next November
to the point where he stood when he
said in the last National Republican
Conventions
Weare confronted with the Democratic party,
very hungry and, as you may well believe, very
thirsty; party without single definite prin-
ciple; q party without any distinct National
policy which it dares to present to the country;
party which foil from power as a conspiracy
against human rights, and now attempts TO
sneak back to power az a conspiracy for IpIun-
der and spoils,
The last number of Horper's
Weekly admits that President Cleye-
land has yielded to the pressure of
the spoilsmen Of his party, Seeing
plainly that practical adherence to
his convictions on the subject would
probably divide his party SO as to
imperll It's success in the election"
In other words, the hope Of the
Mugwump was a delusion and a
snare. Assuming Mr.. Curtis aud
his kind TO have been sincere their
blighted hopes make their present
condition truly pitiable.-LaterO Ocean.

condition truly pitiable.-LatcrOcea
The Democrats have not been
shrewd enough to mask their hatred
of protection to National industries
under professed zeal for mere "tariff
reform" Even their shrewder Cob
denistic, but professedly Republican
allies, have not been able TO repair
Mr.. Cleveland's fatal blunder of
denouncing the tariff laws as ''the
oppressive, illogical and iuiquitous
source of revenue" Those of them
who on first impulse spoke of "the
message" as "wise and statesman
like" have learned enough of the
temper of their constituents and the
country to expunge the Auditory
phrase from their editorial vocabu-
laries. For the tariff laws as they
now exist are protective in intent
and operation; but if they be "illog-
zeal, oppressive, iniquitous," then
THEN intent and operation must be
utterly vile, and that which is utter
ly vile in law is not susceptible of
reform, it is a thing to be totally
changed. And this is the purpose
of Democratic policy-to change"
not to "reform" the intent and pur-
pose of the tariff laws. There is,
as it seems to us, no "consmmate
craft" in this, but rather stupidity
reaetionary drift.
What has happened when the in
tent and purpose of tariff laws has
been temporarily changed by Dem
ocratic administrations from that of
protection to simple collection Of
revenue is craven by the iron Of ad-
versity upon the minds of old and
middle-aged men, and by the pen of
history upon the imagination of
youth. Panic has followed change
in the purpose and operation of these
laws; poverty has waited upon low
tariff as its handmade. The volume
Of money in circulation has been
reduced, the boards in public and
private treasures have been increas-
ed. Commerce has dwindled, and
agriculture has gone in rags amid
heaps of grain. There is no CON
summate craft in policy which de-
clares against the principle of pro
lection; and this the Democratic
policy does, first by Cleveland's de-
nunciation of the principle as "illog-
ical and iniquitous," and second by
Mills bill for the destruction Of
home industries.
The question of tariff reform IS
not up, will not be up in 1888; the
question is, shall the protective sys-
tenn be abolished? To which De
mocracy say "yea, and Republican
ism "nay." But the Republican
party cannot say that the tariff does
not need amendment. Certainly not,
1t has often resolved in favor of
amendment, but always of amend
ment in the direction Of protection.
Twenty five years is long life for
a financial system; it would be
strange, indeed, if in the years in
teryening between 1853 and lsSs
some new industries had not been
born, some old ones developed to
maturity. To the new ones protec-
ton must be afforded by new i'm
posts, from those that have stained

The total vote in Louisiana in
1886, when Congressman were elect
ed, wae y4,763. The Democrats
now claim that At the late state
election their majority was 100000!
1t is by such CHASTITY frauds through,
out the south that Cleveland de-
ponds for second term.
Tux Mugwumps of 1884 have
divided into two classes. One class,
aud the best one, has returned to
the Republican party and will sup
port Its candidates. The other class
has, TO aIl intents and purposes
joined the Democratic party and
will vote for its candidates. The
little hypocriucal by-play of indie
pendencc ip politics on the part of
this class counts fer nothing.
