POLITICAL NEWS.

A PhlG Press correspondent asks
and answers some questions, the
truth of which is self.evident:
Where was Cleveland during the
warf Fishing. Where is he on
Memorial daysi Fishing. Why
did he not open the Cincinnati ex.
position Fishing. Why did he
not attend the Phila. Trades Re.
union Fishing. Where Is be now 7

Harrison is elected ! He'll be the
American Jonah in the Free Trade

The nomination of q State ticket
by the Prohibitionists, makes the
prohibitory amendment a political
question, and virtually kills it. The
friends of prohibition should have
given the prohibitory amendment a
fair test vote, after all the expense,
trouble and agitation, and not chok.

see what for tickets the old parties
would nominate, but struck ont bag

as moral question, but we can't as

The Protection enthusiasm con

and there are breaks every day from
the free trade ranks. tn the mining
districts and the manufacturing cen.
tres, like Wheeling, hundreds of the
strongest Democratic supporters are
turning over. There is no effective
force of argument in the Democratic
speakers, because of the doubtful
and unpopular question Offree trade;
and the Democratic papers, espec-
tally the Wheeling Register, are
making some bad blunders. On the
whole, the Republicans have the adj.
vantage and can keep it with pru-
dent management and q strong tick.

Mr.. Elkins will do good work for the
Republican cause. He is one of the
ablest speakers in the country, and
has done noble work in past cam.
paigns. He has been misrepresent-
ed by Democratic papers, but since
adopting West Virginia as his home
he has come much in contact with

The American Agricalturist for
August advises farmers to "deal di-
rect" and says that the Connecticut
Grange and Western farmers or
CARNATIONS have arranged Eastern
and Western shipments that will
abolish the middlemen system and
reach the markets direct. This will
save money for farmers who have to
sell. Our home grange saves hun
dreds of dollars by acting as pur-
chasing agency; and they could make
hundreds more if they could perfect
plan to act as a selling agency.

WASHINGTON LETTER. +
WASHINGTON, July 80, 1881


Senator Wilson, of Iowa, from the
committee on education and labor.
has reported tayogably TO the Senate
the House bill creating boards of ar.
bitration for settling controversies
between railroads and their eiIl..
ployees. s ssa..4
Representative DingIey, of Maine,
has introduced a bill in the House
providing for tolls upon Canadian
vessels passing through and in st.
Mary's and st. Clair Flats canals,
in case of discrimination on Cana.
dian canals against our vessels or
ports.
Mr.. Randall was well enough to
be removed to Pennsylvania Satur.
day.
So certain are the democrats Of
the rejection of the fisheries treaty,
they advised Cleveland to Withdraw
it until after the election, in order to
prevent the republicans from using
it as campaign material. This was
a very. significant suggestion, but
Cleveland will hardly dare to act
upon it, however much he might
wish to do so. The more the treaty
is debated, the worse the admins.
tration appears. Republican Sena.
tors will endeavor to push it to n
vote this week.
There never was such q demand
for tariff documents from all over
the country as at present. The Re.
publican Congressional committee,
which will have the preparation OF
all republican documents, have open
ed their headquarters here. and will
shortly be prepared to fill all de
mands.
A funny sort of a fairy story has
been gotten up by an agent of the
Treasury department. He claims
that he knows of many millions of
dollars worth of property, which be.
longed to the late Confederate states
government, in Europe, and in this
country, which is at present in such
shape that much of it may be re.
covered by the United States. He
goes into particulars, and furnishes
catalogue of vessels, machinery,
real estate, and cash. He was form.
erly in the employ in the rebel gov.
1t is thought here that ex-senator
Malone will be returned to Congress
from the Fourth Virginia district.

low unanimous consent to be given
for any resolutions setting days for
the consideration of any special
measures, unless a provision is in

consideration of the Dependent Pen.
sion bill. The action of Mr.. Burrows
is creating almost panic among the
democratic members. Ii the depend,
emit pension bill ever comes to vote,
it is sure to pass as large number
of the democrats are afraid to vote
against it, but they hope by under
handed tactics to prevent its getting
before the House. asa rff
The republican Senators have full
ly determined to report o tariff bill
as substitute for the Mills hill. 1t
is expected that 1t will be ready in
about two weeks. 1t is thought that
the principal reduction will be on
sugar and tobacco. Senator His
cock has introduced q bill to pension
all persons who served three months
in the United States army or navy
during the rebellion.

that they had been guilty of forcing
younger cadets to stand on their

tallow candles, smile when finger

things. Their punishment is just, for
the United States has no use for
such chaps in its naval service. One
