FUNNY MIR. ALLEN.
He Relates "a Humorous Incident OF
Congressional Trip.

RE rebates u humorous Incident OF a
Congressional Trip.
Mr. Allen, the humorous member Of
Congress from Mississippi, says the New
York Tribune, has been amusing his
fellow statesmen this session by telling
some of the incidents of little Con
gressional excursion which Representa-
tive Mansur of Missouri got up last year
in the recess of Congress to Oklahoma.
Besides the gentlemen named there
were in the party Congressman Springer
Of Illinois and Peters and Perkins Of
Kansas. Colonel Mansur was run
ming" the thing, and the settlers in the
new country looked upon him as man
who had promised them great orator
ical treat.
The funny man from Mississippi
would not so on the speakers stand
at the meeting until it became his
turn to speak, but went down among
the people who had assembled, in order
to note the effect produced and to watch
the other Congressman as they ad-
dressed the audience. Eventually it
became the NIississippian's turn to
speak, and he was asked to mount the
stand. Here are some of the points that
Allen made at the expense Of the other
Congressman present:
II have been standing out in this vast
audience" he began, listening to the
remarks of the gentlemen who preceded
me. An old fellow near me while ]
stood in the crowd touched me on the
shoulder, and pointing to the speaker,
said: And them is Congressmen,
Well, great Scott, no wonder there is so
much complaint that it is so hard to get
men TO go TO Congress these days.
The Washington critic., 1890-03-07
A NEGRO STATE

Evidence accumulates tending to
show that colored men in different parts
of the country have common under
standing looking toward the occupation
of Oklahoma and the control of its
political machinery, with view to its
ultimate admission to the Union as a
negro State. 1t is claimed that before
the end of the year 100000 negroes will
have been settled in the Territory.
Many of the recent accessions to its
population are from the Carolinas, and
the negroes find its genial climate and
fertile soil as tempting as any other
class of settlers.
One advantage which this movement
has over the propositions of Senators
Morgan and Butler for African deport-
alton is that the Oklahoma scheme re-
quires no appropriation of Government
money. Spontaneous contributions
may be relied upon to aid in establish
ing commonwealth which would be a
new experiment among our States, and
which would afford an opportunity
never hitherto presented of developing
The Washington critic., 1890-03-07
WASHINGTON, MARCH :, 1890.
POsTOFFICE SITE.

The action yesterday of the Commit
tee Of the Whole on Mr.. Milliken's bill
in relation to the purchase Of a certain
site for the erection of a City Postollice
makes the prospect of obtaining that
much needed building more hopeful
than 1t has been for some time. All the
Congressman who discussed the matter
agreed that the present accommodations
were inadequate and discreditable, and
the feeling in favor of immediate action
in providing proper postonice quarters
seemed TO be unanimous.
The only difference of opinion
eliuited was in regard to the choice of
a site. An amendment locating the
building on Judiciary Square was very
properly negatived. The Government is
not so poor that it needs to invade the
breathing spaces Of the people, in order
to carry on its business. The build
ings which are now on that square
should have been built elsewhere, and,
10 add to them, would be in the nature
of an outrage.
There is a good deal to be said in
favor of Postmater General Wana-
makers suggestion of a welllocated
and amply constructed building to ac-
commodate the Postoilce Department
and The City Postoilice together-such
building to be large enough and suili-
Cienty planned and equipped to answer
for both for century TO come. Mr..
Conger's proposition 10 appoint a COM
mission empowered TO make definite
and final selection of a site would. un-
der ordinary circumstances, have COM
menGed itself to the good judgment OF
the House.
But there has been so much delay in
this matter, most of it attributable to
the difficulty of agreeing upon an eligi-
BILE site, that disposition now prevails
TO take decisive action at once. Most
of our citizens will be ready to admit
that the site prescribed in Mr.. Milli-
ken'S bill is convenient as to ac-
cess ard approach. Care should,
however, be taken that enough
ground is obtained for the occupancy
of a building that is to be permanent.
AS TO the danger from floods, all that is
necessary to urge in that connection is
that the Long Bridge must be so
changed and the river front so improved
that all such peril may be averted in
the future, This is point which con
Germs not only the building of new
postoltice but the safety and well-being
of an important section of the city as
well.

SOME FUNNY REPLIES.

Curious Answers to Questions Sent

The large force now employed at the
Census Bureau is kept busy daily send

to these Governmental epistles are

Imagine the surprised amusement of
genial Chief Clerk Albert +. Childs
when the following answer to one Of
bis most dignified letters was laid before
him:
Write TO the proprietor of the
Chocktaw Mica Mine, they will attend

washing at home, and five of my babies

Here is another, in reply to the ques-
ton put to applicants for enumerators,
which reads: "Have you any defect in
speech?" {

But as an illustration of the efficacy
of the United States mail service the
following, in reply to inquiries about
the postoflice address of physicians,
probably has no parallel: 1--WE have no
living physician, writes the CORE

a year, but he is still getting his mail

Railroads in Egypt.
The story comes from Boston, saws
the Troy Daily Times, that several well
known Americans, including Benjamin
=. Butler, Frank Jones and Governor
Goudell of New Hampshire, Senator
Frye of Maine aud Joseph 6. Palmer of
New Jersey, are planning the formation
of q syndicate TO be known as the New
England Land Company of Egypt.
The business of the syndicate will be
real estate dealing in Port Said and
Alexandria, Egypt, and more especially
the building of railroad from Port
Said through Palestine to Damascus.
The road is TO be equipped with all tue
luXuries and conveniences to be found
on any line, and will follow route
which will bring all the historically
famous points within easy reach.
1t is thought that the already large
volume of travel to the Holy Land will
be increased in proportion to the in
crcas in travelling facilities, thus ensur
ing fair return on the money invested
If the scheme is carried out II ought not
to be many years before the trainman
will be numbering the names of Jerusa-
lem, Jericho, Nazareth, Galilce, and Da.
mascus, and travellers will be washing
the dust from their faces in the briny
waters of the Dead Sea.

THE DEMOCRATIC POSITION.

acPO hAO'h
From The Neio York SuR.
Sad yet sensible is the confession
made by the high priest who day and
night attends the Star-Eyed Goddess, as
he was interviewed the other day in
great Chicago.
"The position of the Democratic party
upon the tariff" said Colonel Fl. Wat
terson, sis fixed. The last platform
must and will be the next, without va
ration OF equivocation.
"And Democratic gains must come
from the West?" asked the interviewer.
No p said the experienced and ever
faithful Watterson; II have hoped so Z;
! have looked with pleasant anticipa-
tion to Illinois, Wisconsin. Minnesota,
Michigan and Iowa; but the farmers
seem welded to their mortgages They
either cannot understand or will not
appreciate the nature of their burdens
The Democrats must carry New York,
New Jersey, Connecticut and In
diana"
This is indeed sensible, but how is
it that New York and Connecticut, not
to mention New Jersey and Indiana,
are TO be carried on the free-trade plat
4 form of 1884?
