OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.

WASHINGTON, Apr. 80, 1888.
Editor Herald:
AS the season opens there is decided
renewal of activity in the building line.
In addition to the erection of several
public buildings which have been provid-
ed for by congress, a large number Of
very fine private residences will be built.
Senator Sawyer, of Wisconsin, has COM
menced the construction of a residence
upon Connecticut-ave., which it is esti-
mated to cost at least $15O,OOO. This
will add one more to the number of mag
nifcent senatorial residences. The west
ern Senators have much finer houses than
those from the east, and the few southern
senator's who own houses here have very
modest establishments, Senators German
and Gibson being the owners of the finest
houses of any Of the southern senator's.
Work has been commenced on the new
Catholic University buildings, and it is
announced that the corner stone of the
new divinity building will be laid with
appropriate ceremonies on the Oath OF
May.
Congress has been unusually busy dur
ing the past week, the senate having de-
voted much of it's time to discussion Of
the international copyright bill, while
the house of representatives has been at
| work night and day upon the tariff bill
but has managed to find time to pass
several bills of special interest to the cit
liens of Washington, among them being
a bill prohibiting pool-selling in the Dis
trict of Columbia. The passage of thi:
law is hailed with delight by the better
class of citizens, as reform in one of tn,
greatest social evils of the national CAPT
tai.
Senator Blair introduced a bill OF
Wednesday last providing for the dis
tribution of public documents to public
libraries The bill provides that eacl
city, county, state and college ibrar.
shall be furnished with one copy of ever,
| pubic document printed by the govern
ment, upon filing an agreement to pre-
serve the same.
! Lindsey Muse, the old colored doc
keeper at the office of the secretary O
the navy, who has held the office sine
1928, having been appointed during tn
administration of John Quincy Adams
and who is now over eighty years of age
has at last been obliged to resign his pos
on account of feeble health, and it
thought that he will never again resum
his familiar place at the secretary's door

If the republican party takes wise ad-
vantage Oft opportunities, to it will be
committed the important task of revis-
ing the tariff: 1t is not only among the
possibilities, but it is not an unreason.
able assumption to say that the republi,
cans can secure majority in the next
house of representatives. A senseless
blunder here and there may easily defeat
this roseate view of prospective politics

THE president has nominated tor CHIEF
justice of the United States, an able law
yer with little more than local reputa-
tion-Melville w. Fuller, of Chicago,
He is highly spoken of by his friends, who
predict for him brilliant record on the
bench. The president has taken a fearful
chance, and the nation can but hope it
may be successful--he has elevated to the
most responsible and honorable Office in
the nation citizen nearly as obscure as
the president himself was decade since
He has made judge over and abovejudges
ono who has never occupied judicial
office. 1t is a fearful risk-may the pres.
ident's proverbial and phenomenal luck
not fail him in this instance.

formal announcement of his candidacy
for the nomination to the office of Sheriff
in Stearns county. He has served in the
capacity of deputy under the late Sheriff
Mickey during the past eight years, and
during that time has practically been
sheriff of western Stearns. He is
thoroughly competent, has had expert
ence, and is admirably equipped for the
office. Furthermore, he has scores OF
friends and acquaintance who will be
delighted to pull together for him next
fall.

Senator Compton, of Fergus Falls,
was at the West last night for few
minutes. He reports that the congress
sional boom for E. E. Corliss, of Fergus,
is gradually assuming large proportions,
and that the western part of the Fifth
district will go for him unanimously.
He says that they believe that man
from Duluth might forget that the west
ern part of the district had any claims to
recognition, while man from Fergus
Falls or some western town would be
more apt to recognize the claims of all
portions of the district alike.-StarNew
The genial senator may have been in
accurately reported-he doubtless meant
to say A. Barto instead Off. e. Corliss
with that correction the HERALD en-
dorses the interview fully.

THE Prohibitionists claim to hold the
balance Of power in New York. 1t is a
significant fact that since 1883 neither of
the two great political parties have had
clear majority in that state, and the
wonderful growth of the prohibition vote
from 1,517 in 1880 to SO ,437 in 1886 is
claimed to be the cause of it.

THE ALLIANCE.
A special telegram to the PioneerP Press

A special telegram to the Pioneer-P Press
dated Herman, May list says:
A mass meeting of the friends of Albert
Scheffer from all parts of the state met
here to-day. Four congressional and
thirty-four senatorial districts were rep
resented. The object was to effect a per-
manent organization for the campaign.
President Atwood Of the state alliance
was chairman, and r. J. Hall, member of
the state board of equalization for the
Sixteenth judicial district, secretary.
The meeting was held with closed doors,
local newspaper reporters being excluded.
A plan was perfected for appointing a
campaign committee of the nine members
representing all parts of the state. A
committee of seven was appointed to
draft a campaign document consisting
of a resume of Scheffer' Legislative record
the platform of the farmers alliance as
woods recent reply to the structures OF
the republican press on the action of the
alliance executive committee. Three hun
dred thousand copies of this document
were ordered printed in English, German,
Scandinavian, French and Bohemian and
scattered broadcast throughout the
state. Arrangements were made to put
one hundred homespun speakers in the
| field to conduct a school house campaign.
Assuming the above report of a star
chamber meeting to be true, what then:
It ought, at least, to forever settle the
question of Mr.. Schefer as republican
candidate. Better that the republican
party suffer defeat in the state than sub
NIT to the dictation of close ring, which
holds its meetings behind barred doors
and adopt practically "rule or ruin
tactics. The HERALD has no confidence
in any ring engaging in such practices
and that it cloaks itself beneath an agri
cultural mantle does not help the case.

If Buchanan decides to enter the race
for the congressional nomination in the
Fifth district. friend Barto will be likely
to get knocked out in his own portion OF
the district-Brainerd News.
Guess not. Barto's fighting weight is
2S3 pounds.-Times. .7.....-'.s
It is unkind in the Times to so sadly
belittle pleasant neighbor. The gov
ernor's anicable weight is better by fifty
pounds than the above figures, and his
fighting weight-the scales are yet to be
manufactured capable of registering it.

THE MAINE PLATFORM.

The republicans of Maine have selected
their delegates to the Chicago conven-
ton and published platform which is
neither wholly good, nor altogether bad
lin fact its only feature that will not
commend itself to the sober second
thought of rejecting men is its declara-
ton for material reduction in the inter
nal revenue taxes.
The platform adopted declares for pro-
lection, and speaks strongly against the
Mills bill, which is characterized as the
offspring of President Cleveland's free
trade message. Reduction of the surplus
by cutting down the internal revenue is
advocated and Blaine is commended for
answering Cleveland's free-trade essay.
The platform also protests against the
way in which the direct tax-refunding
bill was delayed; declares that our for
eign relations are weakened by official
timidity, declares war on the saloons,
and demands the just administration OF
the civil service law.
The internal taxes are confined almost
exclusively to alcoholin its various forms
and to tobacco, and there is no general
demand for a reduction. One thing in
their favor, aside from theequity involved
is that they are cheaply collected, and
there is comparatively little evasion O
the law except in the "moonshine dis
tricts" of the south. There are plenty o
articles not competitive with American
manufactures, which might betransferret
to the free list and many Others upor
which the tariff might be very materially
reduced without predjudicing our indus
tries, and such reduction is not only ur
gently demanded for relief to the consum
ers, but would serve to reduce tn
treasury surplus, which so seriousl.
threatens business interests.

pointedly that he will not be considered
a personal factor in the contest. His let
