The Washington critic., 1888-08-31

RETALIATION that retaliates is what
Mr.. Cleveland is after. Hence his re
quest of Congress for powers to this end
that he does not now possess. The point
is well stated by the Philadelphia
Record:
The present means of retaliation are ineffec
tive. To refuse TO sell the Canadians bait as
they refuse u.s. or to prevent them from fishing
in our waters, as they refuse to let us fish In
theirs is playing at retaliation. The Canadians
don't want our bait or our fishing privileges
But to stop the transshipment offreights in bond
across our territory would Inconvenience them
no little. To provoke such retaliation would be
TO needlessly burn their own fingers. They will
hardly do that. The best protection Tor our
fishing vessels, therefore, lies in an easy recourse
to adequate means of opposing injury if the ne
cessty shall unfortunately occur. But 1t never
would occur If the President should be armed
with the authority he asks for.

Oh o., the New Castle county assessors.
ms was demonstrated, Wednesday
ana Thursday, by the manner in which
the assessors tried to run things' at
the city hall. The delinquent Repub-
licans went to the city hall, in large
numbers, to be placed on the assess
ment list. Several prominent Repub-
Means were there to vouch for them.
but only one was allowed inside the
railing, until Councilman Barnard
seeing that 200 or 800 men were wait
ing, and they not knowing what wards
the assessors represented, he asked
that one man for each assessor be al
lowed inside the rail. This was gran
ted.
The county assessors did their work
In the slOWest manner, nOtWithstand-
ing that vigorous protests were made.
However, what riled the Republicans
most, was the plotting of Democrats
through a back door and thus giving
them preference So much excite
ment was raised, that this had to be
discontinued.
The attorneys for the petitioners
commended that while 1000 citizens of
one party has been assessed, only $50
of the other party had their names on
the list.
The account from another source for
Friday is that the bare-faced frauds by
which the Republicans of Wilmington.
were kept off the registry lists were so
vigorously supported by police bull
doing and rounder rufianism. that
the victory remains with the party
that organized and carried out the
frauds. During the morning the Re-
publicans formally abandoned the at
tempt to make the lists an honest reg
istry of the qualified voters of Will
mingtOn. By law they had until
evening to complete this work, but
the conspiracy against free ballot in
Wilmington rendered this law a null
lily. In March the Republicans will
have another chance to correct this
wrong before the Levy Court when,
perhaps, they will be better prepared
to meet and defeat the 6agitious at
tempt to deny them their primary
rights as citizens and voters.

Washington Letter.
A BUSY WEEK IN CONGRESS.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 9Th, 1888.
The week in Congress has been an
unusually interesting one and consid-
cradle real work has been done in
committee rooms and on the floor of
both the Senate and the House.
Among the Senate's dOings was Sena-
tor Kenna's defense of the Admins
tratiOn and the Presidents tariff meas
ure, in which he undertook to demOl-
ish the argument made by Senator
Sherman in his recent speech, and to
show the urgent need of tariff reform.
The Senate passed the resolution
which provides for changing Inaugu-
ration day from the 4th of March to
the Both of April, and for fixing the
beginning and termination of the Off
cial terms of Senators and Representa-
tives to the same date. A number of
bills have been discussed and passed,
among them one to increase to $72 a
month the pension of any person total
" helpless from injuries received or
disease contracted in the army or naval
service of the United States.
The House of Representatives has
debated the Lowry-White election
contest; given blow to cheap litera-
ture by requiring it to pay book post
age, and passed a number of bills for
the erection of public buildings in diff
ferent parts of the country.
In the LOway-White case the ques-
ton is whether or not Mr.. White, who
now occupies the seat, was duly
naturalized American citizen, and had
been so for seven years at the time OF
the election and was therefore eligi-
BILE. The Democratic majority of the
! Committee on elections say no; the
Republican minority say yes. The
question was decided to-day in favor OF
/ Mr.. White.
The everlasting Blair Educational
bill continues as the unfinished bust
ness in the Senate, but is put aside
from time to time to make way fol
other business. To-day Senator Platt
of Connecticut has the floor for talk
on the tariff.
1t was expected that Senator Kenna's
speech would call forth vigorous re
ioinder from the Ohio Senator, and a
Ia usually the case when a straight GU
