WASHINGTON LETTER.
Washington. D. c., Nov. 25th.

Washington. d. c., Nov. 23th. 1888
Senator Quay does not mince his
words in speaking about the next House
of Representatives. He says 'sWe
have the House by a majority of five
certainly, and possibly by nine on the
official count of Congressional districts.
AS to the democratic threats that demo-
cratic governors of states will refuse to
certify the election of republicans to the
clerk of the House, and he will refuse
to place our people on the roll, we do
not care what the democratic governors
or the clerk of the House may do.
They are not dealing with children and
old women. The republican party will
hold with a mailed band, all that it
fairly won on November 6"
That is the sort of talk that was need
ed, and its effect on the democrats here
is already apparant. They are now be-
ginning to say that without the presi-
dency they do not want the House.
All the same if it had not been for the
watchfulness of Senator Quay, they
would have stolen it, just to keep their
hand in, probably.
Cabinet making continues to be the
most popular industry at the Capital,
but it is very safe to say that up to the
present time General Harrison has not
finally decided upon even single name
for stated position. fyou care to
know who are mentioned here as pro-
bable members of the cabinet, you have
only to make . list Of every prominent
republican in the country they are all
mentioned. At the present stage.it is
all speculation and guess work of the
widest sort.
The friends Of the several candidates
for Speaker of the House in he Fifty
first Congress are already beginning to
work hard. It was supposed that the
main contest would be between Nc. Kin
ley, of Ohio, and Reed, of Maine; but
Ohio has another candidate in the per-
son of Benz. Butterworth, who has made
rapid strides to the front of late, and his
friends are confidently predicting his
election. A noticeable feature Of the
contest as far as it has developed, is the
good feeling prevailing between the
friends of the various candidates.
The household effects of Lord Sack.
vile, the deposed British Minister,
were sold at auction here to-day. The
sale was attended BY perfect jam Of
Washington most swell society, and
the prices paid for the articles were in
nearly every case far beyond the origi-
nal cost, to say nothing of the present
value. But then, you know, they were
desired as souvenirs of his lordship.
The local committee to arrange for
the Inauguration of Gen. Harrison. has
started in with a vim that promises to
make it a very successful event. It is
now thonght that the ball will be held
in the hall of the new Pension Office.
Gen. Rosecrans, in the name of the
Army Of the Cumberland, has delivered

Nearly five hundred head of cattle
were received at the stock yards last
Monday. The price for beef is a poor
one however; hogs command a better

While Mr.. John Maug and wife, liv-

parents could extinguish the cruel
flames the little one had sustained such
injuries as to cause her death the sue

HOW 1T WAS DONE.

A gentleman, Mr.. j. P. Hannnamon,
residing in Pittsburgh Pa, writes from
Salem, Ohio, (wkere he is visiting),
June 81, 1888, making the following
curious statement: Il suffered five
weeks from sprained hip; went to drug
gist here, a doctor; he gave me one lia-
iment which failed; he gave me another
which acted like magic; never before ex-
pericnced such quick and permanent
relief. He laughed when [ told him
and said: sJust thank st. Jacobs OIL
He had poured it into one of his bottles
and gave it to me. When / went into
his store [ said patent medicines were
humbugs; he stole march on me, and
| can say [ believe at least in one of
them. It is worth more than [ can tell
for I suffered excruciating palms,

$50 and Costs.

On last Friday morning Recorder n. ].
Hcnton handed in his decision in the case of
the city against Hale Backensto, finding him
guilty Of allowing minors to frequent his
saloon, and he was fined $50 and costs. II
was proven that two boys named Boened
and Osborn had remained In his saloon over
half an hour, and there is little doubt that
the practice had been permitted right along.
The judgment Is generally considered a
righteous one, and II should be followed by
arrests for every violation Of the ordinance.
The police officers have made good start.
How would 1t do to also put stop to keep
ing saloons open on Sundays, under the pro-
visions of the same ordinance.
Backensto has appealed the case to the
Circuit Court.

Spread on Thick.

A Corvallis paper feels quite bad over
but here Is part of the item itself
During the past week two excursions
have been given to Albany for the purpose
of attending the theatre and lecture at that
place. This has also occurred number Of
times on previous occasions, and in nearly
every instance, Corvallis was almost as we'll
represented at the place of amusement as
Albany herself. Now the Gaxekke would
like to ask why this state of affairs exists
In the first place, the Corvallis people ratron-
ize good theatrical company better than
the Albany people, which fact is acknowl-
edged by all showmen second, every ex-
cursion of this kind helps Albany, not only
as show town, but nearly all who 60 spend
more or less money there
Outof audiences Of three to five hundred
about fifty attended from Corvallis each of
two entertainments recentIy,probably near
ly as many as would have gone if the shows
had been there. All showmen say Albany
is far ahead of Corvallis as a show town.
The presentstate of affairs is good one, as
Il gives the leading citizens there an oppor-
tnnity to breathe the air of a live city occa-
sionally.
