FROM WASHINGTON CITY.


WASHINGTON. July ., 1921.
Tie Blaine lions AMI the Harrison
ambs are TO henceforta form q united
Il not happy ami contented family.
that is, ii the Instructions Of SHEPHERDS
Harrison aTe followed by his flock.
The Blaine crowd grew 70 FESTIVE
under the many recent nIs,ep5esen-
-ations Of their idols mental anj
physical condition that they became
suspicious that some Of Tie Harrison
crowd was responsible Tor some Of
hem, and Z Iiltle investigation prov
ed lhst their suspicious were ualy
too Well fouade /. Tuen there was
roar which WAS heard both 81 Bsl
liarbor and Cape May Point, and
hr. Harrison straightSay sent fo7
Dan Ransdell, It's Marshall OF the
District Of Colu Dir. snd confidential
personal friend, and through hin
the word sas passed to the Harrison
lambs that there must be no more
false bleating, and 80 the matter
stands just now, bat the Blame lions
haye their blood stirred up and il
need excite 10 surprise a. any lime
should they make . murderous ou-
slaught upon the Harrison lambs and
destroy the entire llock. They would
gladly do it if Keeper Blaine would
bot say the word.
Indian Commissioner Morga0, who
has ever since be has been in Office
made fight against the Roman
Catholics engaged in educating the
| Indians, has now decided that no
more contracts shall be made with
the Bureau of Catholic Missions for
conducting lndian schools. For years
! all contracts for Catholic Schools on
the Indian reservations have been
made with this bureau Of Missions,
the headquarters of which are in this
city, and this entire severance of
relations is regarded as the direct
result of religious bigotry and preju
dice, the possession of which show
that Mr.. Morgan is entirely unified
for the responsible position be holds.
What makes the thing seem so very
unfair is that contracts are being
made, as usual. with other denomina-
tions for the conduct OF Indian
Schools Il is not for moment t,
be supposed that Mr.. Morgan made
such an important decision wlthou,
the consent and support Of Secretary
Noble and Mr., Harrison, who are
the proper parties to hold responsible
for this most remarkable case O
religious prescription
ExCongressman Kerr, of Pennsyl
vania tn who ~ ttIs.rI any ULntl
one man IS due the credit for the
democratic victory in that State lasl
year, was in town several days agl
consulting 9th the officials Of tie
National Association Of Democratic
Clube, and he brought news thai
warmed the cookies Of democratic
hearts. Mr.. Kerr is no rainb "
chaser as his friends very well know.
therefore when he says be thinks thai
Pennsylvania is now doubtful
State, with the odds dec idedly il
favor of the democrats it means
something. He says that the linan-
cial crookedness Of the Delamaters
aud the more recent bank wreckiDg
in Philadelphla, has aroused the
people as they were meyer arouse /
before against the methods originated
by Qaay whe4 he was Treasurer Of
the State, and besIdas Tho, the new
ballot law will be worth at least
tO3OOU 'OUtS u Uue ucilOCIaLlC part ,
because it will enable it to prevent
the republicans voting the dead men
who have made up large part OF
their m sjoritv for years.
In spite Of republican attempts to
create harf feelings and antagonists
between the candid ties for Speaker
Of the next House, the beat feeling
exists between tie gentlemen.
Messrs Crisp and Mcmillan are both
stopping at the tame hotel, and to
see them together 70 one could sup
pose that they were ia any sense
| rivals. Mr.. Mills is also here and
al three Of them are constantly
meeting IN the most social manner
1t is nonsense pure and simple TO
say that any III sn st this time has
certainty of bel 10 elected Speaker,
as more than 8 majority Of Tie dem
ocrats OF the next House are stlll
Gnpledged.
1t is stated positively by Fepuhli-
cans that Senator Quay will retire
