WASHINGTON LETTER.
our Regular Correspondent.

From our Regular Correspondent.
WASHINGTON, Oct. .,26, '91.
The President is not man
whose wrath is easily stirred up;
but it would have been difficult to
find more wrathful man than he
was when he received official par
ticulars of the deliberate insult Of
fered to the American flag by a
Chilian mob in attacking a num-
Der of inofensive and unarmed
sailors belonging to the U. 5. 5.
Baltimore, in the streets of Valpa-
raiso, killing one man outright and
wounding a number of others,
several of whom it is thought will
die. AS if that were not enough,
the Chilian authorities arrested
and threw into prison those OF the
sailors who escaped the fury OF the
mob. The President called a con-
ference of the Cabinet before
which he read a dispatch he had
prepared to be sent to Minister
Eagan instructing him to demand
an immediate and full apology,
and punishment. of the leaders
of the mob. An attempt is being
made here by those who are al
ways opposed to seeing this gov
ernment display anything Ike
stalwart Americanism, to make it
that this case is similar to
the New Orleans killing OF the
Italian members of the Malta; but

BARBARA FRITcHIE's old home at
Frederick, Maryland, is going to
be on exhibition at the Worlds
Columbian exposition, they say.
But some one has said there was
no Barbara, and that Whittier's
beautiful poem is only founded on
the striking impulses of the
imagination. If such is the case,
it is simply too bad. We have been
laboring these long years under
the impression that the poem was
drawn from truth, and that Jack
sons raid through Frederick town
was baffied by old Barbara's loyal
display at the window sill.

The gold discovery excitement
i'll Corvallis of course, failed to
pan out to meet the sanguine ex-
pectations of our citizens; but the
industrial movement is exciting a
real, genuine interest. and pro-
jected factories and regular metro
politan Improvements seem to be
keeping pace with the common de-
velopments of the city. Evidences
of progression are indicated on
every hand, and before another
year we anticipate many good
things for Corvallis.

ONE of the highest authorities
in the London grain trade esti-
mates that Europe will need to
import, during the six months to
elapse until next springs crops
come into market, an average of
100000 bushels per week. This
will mean active business for our
railroads and good prices for our
farmers.

The political campaign in Ohio

ton in the ranks of the opposing
parties, and it is a deserved credit
to both of them.

DARK SIDE OF LONDON.

Writes Chauncey M. Depew -
Having viewed so often the bril-
liant side of London's social life,
it occurred to me that would take
a view of its dark side. One Sat-
urday morning in a garb which
was cross between that of a cos
ter monger and a pickpocket, l
traversed the Whftechapel district.
1t was a sight impossible to see
anywhere else in the world. The
streets were so crowded that it was
almost impossible to wedge your
way through. Every few feet was
some merchant. male or female,
selling cast-off clothes or house
hold furniture. l saw rags held
up there for sale that nowhere in
America would find any place ex-
cept in the ash barrel, and the ash
man in picking it over would re-
fuse to carry them home. Such
poverty, such misery, such wretch
edness, such seething furnace of
ignorance, and all that attends up
on howelessness, | never saw before
and never expect to see again. I
felt that this great city. with its
magnificent palaces, with every
evidence in part of it of the largest
wealth, the greatest luxury, the
most liberal expenditure, rested
upon a volcano which only needed
the force of civilization to bring
upon it catastrophe which would
shock the world. Miserable as
these people have always been,
their misery has been intensified
a thousand fold by pauper immi-
grafton. Great Britain has estab-
lished no barrier, as we have, and
Imposed no rules whatever. It is
the dumping ground of all Eu.
rope for misery that must starve
or so somewhere. 1t goes to Lon,
don and completes with a condition
so much. better than its own, that
in the wages it accepts, in the
work it does, it is reducing the
British working men and women
of the great cities to a dangerous
point for the British peace and
prosperity. 1t is a lesson for US te
take to ourselves whether the bar.
riers we have already should not
be increased, and whether notices
should not be sent all over the
world that ave have sympathy
we have humanity; but keep your
paupers at home.''

EDISON, the inventor. promises
us a new electric motor which will
not require a trolley, and will
drive railway cars at the rate of
100 miles an hour. Mr.. Edison
heretofore has never promised
anything which he did not per-
form, however incredible it might
seem when first broached; and
hence we are hopeful that his new
invention will be all that he leads
us to expect from it.
BLAINE's nomination next year
will no doubt depend upon the
condition of his health. There is
no question about his constantly
growing popularity, and his candi-
dacy would make republican sue
cess almost certainty.

GERMANY is paternal govern
ment. Instead of confining its at
tention to the preservation of Or
der and the enforcement of justice,
paternal system descends to the
regulation of the details in the life
of an individual himself. AS the
term implies, it is fatherly care
and supervision over the individ-
ual by the state. Germany is one
of the strongest governments on
the face Of the earth, for the peo-
pie there are. peculiarly adapted to
the operation OF such system.

CH1L1's dough-faced vancouver
ing will have very little effect on
this republic. They are a peculiar
people down there in that country,
but contrary to the Hebrew adage,
they are not "zealous of good
works." by any means. In war,
they are brave soldiers, and they
usually fight to a finish, but should
they meet a Union force the finish
would not be long.

IT is estimated that the entire
net proceeds of the new Russian
loan will be required to meet the
necessities of those of her people
reduced TO beggary by the famine
this year. As the net amount of
the loan is 100000, 900, we thus
have a luminous idea of the horri-
BILE destitution that must prevail
over large areas.

CHRISTIANITY means persuasion
by amiable kindness. Did you
'ever.try to argue a man into the
possession ofconscientious scrnples
Of righta Then the aim of your
project has been a dead moral fail
:sre, and the world is no better in
consequence of your existence.
Argument generally tickles with
frigid anger a torrid temperament.
1t savors too much of flat contra
sfictfon and reels and threatens the
selfish instincts of our nature with
fixed prejudices. You approach a
,neighbos with kind approval, and
you do more to advance moral
law than all the smooth-tongued
sareasms combined. To reproach
an individual for evil habits or ma
icious conduct is an immediate
declaration of hostilities, and war
is the natural outcome. Love is
the ten commandments abbrevi-.
ated. Christ is the author of love.
He said if you love your neighbor
you would not think of killing
him, or robbing him, or bearing
false witness against him. The
ten commandments are all right,
but Christ taught an easier, more
reasonable, more practical way of
fulfilling them. The word Glove"
governs the whole subject. IF you
cultivate love you are carrying
cut the purposes of the Mosaic
law, and you do not have to use a
whole code to cultivate obedience.

ITALY has abolished her prohi-
bition on American pork. 1t was
believed for time that the antag-
onism induced by the federal
government regarding the New
Orleans massacre would prevent
such a consummation; but the
Italian government evidently does
not let sentiment stand in the way
of a far-reaching benefit to its peo-
nle.

The Seattle Post -Intelligencer's
critical talk on the public life of
the late Henry W. Grady has
called forth serious comment
throughout the northwest. The
truth is, Grady was a patriot in
the strongest sense of the term,
and did more toward the exter-
mination of sectional animoslties
than any other man in the south
ern states. "Honor to whom honor
is due" is incontestably in order at
all times.

THE ELECTIONS.

Nothing decisive has been OBJ
tained by the result Of Tuesdays
elections, except that next year
will be one of the most hotly con-
tested presidential years ever wit
messed on the American continent.
The result is practically standoff,
with light vote polled every
where. The election of Mckinley
in Ohio by 20, 900 majority is con-
eession that this state is safely re-
publican on national issues, and
that the tariff as the issue has not
Iessened the republican prospects.
Flowers majority in New York is
largely due to local issues, and par.
italy on account of the small vote
brought out. The republicans lost
considerably in the rural districts,
and thus the democrats have secur.
ed control of the legislature. The
democratic majority in New York
state this year will be about 49,
900 or $4,000. Governor Boies
las been reelected by about 5000
majority. Localissues, and espe-
.eially the liquor question, are prin-
.sipally the cause of this democratic
victory. The election of Russell,
democrat, governor of Massachu-
,setts, may be regarded to certain
extent as a triumph for the demo
eracy on the tariff question. Many
of the manufacturers of the Bay
State are demanding free raw ma
sserials. and the platform of the
democratic party promises favora-
bly, to their demands; but no one
doubts that this state will swing
into line next year, and give the
;asual republican majority. Penn
=sylvania Is republican $4,000 ma
jority. This is quite surprise to
all parties, as reported local dis
affections in the ranks of the repub-
licans, it was believed, would give
the state to the democrats. The
farmers alliance has lost ground
everywhere. That party has been
totally annihilated in Kansas, and
evidences of its growing weakness
are indicated in every alliance To-
.cality of that state. Thus the re-
suit of Tuesday is known, and it
only comedies the fact that party
lines are being tightly drawn for
the ensuing presidential contest
and that the tariff question will fig
sare most conspicuously as the issue
of the campaign

IT will probably be surprise to
most people to learn that Post
master-General Wanamaker's ex-
pertinent of free delivery in a farm
ing district shows that the increase
of revenue more than pays the in
creased expense. The next for
ward step to be taken by the
American postal system will be
free delivery in small towns and
villages and thickly settled rural
districts.

We believe almost any industrial

THEY IL STILL POACH.


England viii Not Settle the Behring Sea
Trouble Soon.
WASHINGTON, Nov 1.-THE Post says
that it has high official authority for the
statement that in the elmer circles" the
impression prevails that there will not
be Il speedy settlement of the Behring
sea controversy, and for these reasons:
Broadly stated. it is not believed that
Great Britain desires so speedily to
reach a settlement. Great Britain be-
heves that any fair Interpretation of the
points in dispute will be favorable to
the United States. While to the great
mass of Engiishmen such a conclusion
would be received with passive indiffer-
ence, directly contrary effect would
follow in the Dominion of Canada and
especially in British Columbia.
With brutal disregard of all interests
except their own, the Canadians insist
upon their right to poaCh in the waters
of Behring sea, and do not think it a
crime to raid the islands themselves in
search of plumber. Under these circum-
stances any agreement that will shut the
poachers out would be followed by
howl of Indignation from one extremity
Of the dominion to the other.
If the contention be not settled by
spring, new modus vivendi will be
again agreed to. The past season has
demonstrated the impossibility of eff
fectually policing the sea, inasmuch as
the poachers are said to have captured
upward Of 40, 600 seals during the months
Of June, July and August. 1t is true
that this number is smaller than former
ly, but it is still considerable. If the
poachers can do rs well next year, and
they may do better, the opportunity is
one MOTTO be Gespised
At all events it is better to get 40 ,00O
skins than none at all, as would be the
case if the contention were settled in our
favor, leaving us at liberty to treat tres
passers in future as pirates. 1t would
keep the Canadians in good humor for
another year, and in diplomacy again Of
one years time is an advantage of little
moment
