WASHINGTON, Aug. 3.-The admiuris-
tration has forssken Washington. The
members of the cabinet are away at
Cape May and other pleasant places.
The White House is now quite deserted
while the president and Mrs. Harrison
and Baby Mckee are disporting them
selves in the surf at Cape May or discuss

estate deal. The presidents private
secretary is at Cresson with
his family. Secretary Blaine,
it is presumed, doesn't bother
himself half as much about seals and
British gunboats IN the Behring sea as
he would If he was in Washington.
Although he has not quite laid
aside his anxiety to make the sugar
tariff matter of friendly barter
instead of free gift. Secretary Proc
tor is rusticating in Vermont far from
wars alarms. Secretary Window is
somewhere in the neighborhood of
Wall street or Coney Island. The
postmaster general remained here to

of Dan Hamer, candidate for county

$1,000 was put up. About

of the Ogden club, came in and wanted

Majority Report in the Breckenridge Case.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 3.-Representa-
tive Lacy of Iowa has prepared for sub
mission to the house the majority report
of the elections committee upon the
Clayton -Breckinrige contested election
case and the murder of the Republican
contestant. Commenting on Clayton s
murder the report says: The state and
nation were Mortified. Rewards were
offered and the community of Nor
rillton, near where the murder occurred
passed appropriate resolutions, but no
earnest attempt to aid in bringing
the murderers to justice has been made
by the local authorities. The efforts of
the government have been in vain.
Much of the work done has been upon a
mistaken idea, and due weight has not
been given to the suspicion that should
really attach to the ballot-box thieves.
Nextthe report refers to the killing of
Smith, the negro detective who was in
vestizating the ballot box theft, and of
George Bently, brother of o. 4. Bently,
who was suspected of being
ONE OF THE THIEVES.
George Bently atthe time was negotiating
with the Pinkertons to give the govern
ment evidence and expose the guilty
parties when he was said to have been
accidentally shot by his brother The
report says there was no direct evidence
to show any criminality in the killing of
Bently, but declares 1t unfortunate that
these two killings occurred while the
men were about to give evidence to
Pinkerton detective. The theory
that Clayton's murder was due to
the enmity of one Hooper, Is taken up
and the report says 1t clearly appears
that Hooper was not only in California
when the murder occurred, but ill with
dropsy. This theory says the majority,
was naturally pleasing TO the contestee
(Breckinridge) though the friends of
Col. Clayton very naturally complained
that SO important q clue should have
been concealed for ten months from
them, and only made known when the
CONGRESSIONAL INVESTIGATION BEGAN.
The report continuing says: No
reasonable explanation of the murders
except that some of the ballot-box
thieves finding the taking of testimony
likely to expose them, killed Col. Clay
ton to suppress the investigation. No
other motive Is possible. The necessity
for the enactment Of some law which

Congressional Forecast,

WASHINGTON, Aug. 3.-The proceed
ings in the house this week will be gov
erned by the attendance Of members.
There is a strong disposition on the part
of the majority to finally pass upon the
conference report on the original pack
age bill and to secure action upon the
compound lard bill and two of the cleo
ton cases. But it is felt that the pres
ence of a quorum is a necessity in theee
cases, and If that cannot be maintained
it is probable that the house will be
obliged to confne itself to the oonsidera-
ton of the senate amendments
to the Indian appropriation bill,
to the deficiency appropriation bill and
other measures which are not expected
to arouse party feeling. The report
of the conferees on the land grant
forfeiture bill, it is expected, will be
ready for presentation to the house early
in the week, but its consideration will
depend, with the other measures named,
upon the attendance secured.
The tariff bill will be discussed IN the
senate until Friday when 1t will be laid
aside and the river and harbor appro-
priation bill taken up.

Belmont chronicle. [volume] (St. Clairsville, Ohio) 1855-1973, 1890-01-09

THE fact is becoming more noticeable
every year that the climate of this coun-
try is changing very materially. Aside
from the recollections of the proverbial
"oldest inhabitant" the winters are much
less severe and vigorous than fifty years
ago or even ten years back. Then snow
fell before Christmas and winter did
not break until March. Spring imme-
diately followed. But now a snow which
lasts for month is rare exception and
such an one has not fallen for several
years. The precipitation during the
winter months is not less but greater, but
is in the form of rain. An almost con-
tinual rain from November to March
has of late years been the rule Such a
state of the weather is to be deplored
for who does not wish for the snow and
cold of an old time winter. 1t is much
pleasanter and more healthful to breathe
the crisp, icy air than to inhale the
dampness and noxious effluvia emana-
ting from land converted into veritable
swamp for six months in the year. The
cause for this change has never been ex-
planned but it surely exists and ere long
should it continue, snow and sleigh bells
will be as great novelties to us as nov to
the denizeas of the tropics.

SENATORIAL HUCKSTERING

The New York World, recognized
as being among the leading Democratic
journals of the country, has the following
in its issue of Friday on the disgraceful
scramble among its party friends. now
in progress in Ohio for the United States
Senatorship:
at is humiliating spectacle which is
just now presented at Columbus, Ohio,
where the candidates for the U. 5. Sem
atorship are seeking election in much
the same style followed by the CONNER
cial drummer in seeking custom. The
man who will consent to sit on the steps
of the Capitol, as it were, and solicit
votes for his own election to the Senate
is a person wholly and hopelessly unfit
to be Senator. The office can never
honor him. 1t is he that must dishonOl
the office. This practice ofpersonal self
seeking in the matter of Senatorships is
of modern growth. 1t came in with the
era Of railroad wreekers and spectators
in the Senate. 1t was not introduced
until the custom of selecting the most
distinguished men of State to repre-.
sent it in the Senate was changed to the
custom of having the richest men select
themselves for that function. 1t is re-
lated that on the day of Charles Sum.
ner's third election to the Senate friend
found him busily at work in his Office in
Boston. and congratulated him on the
event. Sumner was at loss to catcf
his meaning at first, but presently re
marked: 'Oh, yes; this is the day fo
the election for Senator Would Sum
ner have felt honored by an election
won in such game as that now in pro
gress i'll Ohio? In 1879 some of Gar
fields friends wanted him to go to Col
umbus to look after his interests as /;
candidate for the Senate, but he indig
nantly replied that he would rather lost
the honor than set up a grocery as /;
means of getting it. 1t is the dignity
of Senators which makes Senatorshil
dignitied If hucksters buy places fol
themselves in that body they are nc
longer places of dignity and honor"
