WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our Regular Correspondent.

WASHINGTON, d. c. May IS, 1891.
Mr.. Harrison found a nasty mess
waiting for him in that nest of crooked
ness, the Pension bureau, when he re-
turned from his royal excursion. Much
against his own inclination he had
kept Commissioner Raum in Office in
the face of the crookedness in his
business methods, so effectually shown
up by Representative Cooper, of In
diana, and he had right to expect
that no further crook edness would be
INDUCED in. Therefore he must have
been terribly shocked when informed
that Green r. Raum Jr., assistant
chief clerk, of the Pension bureau,
and son Of Commissioner Raum, was
the head of an Office brokerage con-
cern which had been selling not only
original appointments below the classi-
fed service, but promotions under the
Civil Service examinations. A more
disgraceful situation has not confront
ed President since Gen. Grant kick
ed Belknap out of the War Depart
ment on account of his wife's engaging
in selling India post traderships
And the most remarkable part of
the whole business is the leniency with
which Raum junior has been treated.
Three other government employees
implicated in the swindle were at once
dismissed, but this precious jewel of a
republican administration, was allow
ed to resign and that wasn't all, the
resignation was accepted to take effect
thirty days from date and he was given
leave Of absence until that time, which
was neat way Of presenting him with
months salary. 1t is stated here
that Secretary Noble is responsible for
the leniency extended to this criminal,
although he was out of town when the
resignation was accepted. What puz-
zles honest people is why all of the
parties concerned in this steal have
not been arrested and brought before
criminal court to answer for their
misdeeds.
MIR. Harrison, when he thinks about
this young mans peculiar transactions,
as well as those of his father, probably
wishes he had never seen the Raums
and that he had not been SO precipi-
tate in kicking ''Corporal' Tanner out
no one ever accused Tanner of be-
ing dishonest, The Raums have Ger
tainly tried to make hay while the Of
fetal sun shines. The old gentleman
as soon as he became Commissioner
began to look out for the rest of the
family. Green B. Jr., was made assis-
tant chief clerk, two daughters were
given clerkships, and John another
son, who does business as pension at
torney, was given chance to copy the
names of all pension applicants who
had not employed attorneys, which
chance has probably been worth big
money to him, as he proceeded to get
out circular setting forth his facilities
for putting claims through in a hurry
and mentioning incdentily his relation
ship to the Commissioner. The
Raums will be heavy load for Mr..
Harrison to carry next year, and it will
not be strange if he should toss them
all overheard.
A determined attempt was made to
get UP an organized reception to wei
come Mr.. Harrison back to Washing
ton from his long-free, trip, but it
was dismal failure. Nobody would
have anything to do with it except
half dozen of his personal friends not

Pure Rye Whisksy.

One year ago we had 5000
gallons of Old Rye
Whiskey in Bond, which
was considered a large stock
to carry and sufficient for the
trade. The demand, however,
for our whiskey became such,
that we were compelled to In
crease the capacity of
our distillery, in order to give
the whiskey some age before
placing it on the market.
We are now making over a
barrel a day ; having a daily
capacity Of over so gals.
and carrying stock ofII,OOO
gals. in Bond. We hope to
give our patrons the benefit Of
the age and will sell no whisk-
ey under six months, and from
that up to three years.
No second hand barrels arc
used at our Distillery; all our
whiskey is bonded in new,
clean. charred. barrels,
and for purity and quail
ity we defy competition.
We have never distill-
ed a bushel Of corn, and
we do hereby guarantee ALL
our whiskey to be absolutely
Pure Rye and doubled on
a copper lined still and to any
person who will find any
drugs or corn in our
whiskey as it leaves our Dis
tilllery or Salesroom, we
will forfeit 100000.

WHAT I9
SCROFULA

1t is that impurity in the blood, which, ac-
cumulating in the glands Of the neck, pro-
duces unsightly Jumps or swellings; which
causes painful running sores on the arms,
legs, or feet; which developes ulcers in the
eyes, ears, or nose, often causing blindness or
deafness; which is the origin Of pimples, can
cerous growths, or the many other manifesto
tions usually ascrlbed to "humors;" which,
fastening upon the lungs, causes consumption
and death. Being the most ancient, it is the
most general of all diseases or affections, for
very few persons are entirely free from 1t.

The Philadelphia Press thus sharp.
ly criticizes an official of the present
administration:
Commissioner Raum's administra.
ton of the Pension Office has been
attended by a series of scandals culmi-
mating in the resignation of his son,
under grave charges, which reflect on
the management of the Office. The
resignation Of Commissioner Raum
himself ought long since to have been
asked by the President, and every
month makes such step more neces-
sary. No adequate answer has ever
been made to the charges brought
months ago against Commissioner
Raum, and his retention in Office is
certain to lead to increasing scandal
until his removal or resignation ends
them.

even the members Of the republican
state associations, all of which are Of
fee holders would take hold of it, so
it had to be abandoned, and then the
statement was unblushingly made that
Mr. Harrison did not wish to be met
by crowd. | do not wish to imply
by the above that Mr.. Harrison is dis
liked here, because he isn't. The
people are simply indifferent towards
him, and l believe that feeling is more
marked among members of his own
party than with democrats.
The impression among those famil-
lar with the inside workings of the ad-
ministration is that Mr.. Blaine is en-
gagged in "playing possum" on Mr..
Harrison just at this time for reasons
of his own. Mr.. Blaine may have
been i'll, but these people refuse to be-
lieve it, and they stated when Mr.
Blaine left here that he would not re-
turn until after Mr.. Harrison got back
and that he had gone away in huff.
Circumstances seem to favor this view
of the case.
Republicans who have talked with
Mr.. Harrison since his return say that
he has about as well developed a case
Of the "big head as they ever saw.
Representative Grain, of Texas, is
here seeing that the boom of Repre-
sentative Mills for the Speakership of
the House does not get neglected.
Ex-Representative Yoder, Of Ohio,
says of politics in that State: at looks
to me as if the democrats would unite
and re-nominate Gov. Campbell. One
thing | am confident of, we will elect
the man we nominate. No man can
be elected in Ohio on the high tariff
issue. Mckinley makes that the issue,
and he will be defeated. The farmers
are tired of high taxes, and cannot un
derstand why other necessaries of life
cannot be cheapened by being put on
the free list as sugar has been.

How :: es Ga" CURED

BY taking Hoods sarsaparilla, which, by
the remarkable cures 1t has accomplished,
often when other medicines have failed, has
proven itself to be potent and peculiar
medicine for this disease. Some OF these
cures are really wonderful. II you suffer from
scrofula, be sure to try Hoods Sarsaparilla-
"My daughter Mary was afflicted with scrof-
ulous sore neck from the time she was % months
old till she became six years of age. Lumps
formed in her neck, and one Of them after
growing to the size of pigeons egg, became
running sore for over three years. We gave
her Hoods Sarsaparilla, when the lump and
all indications of scrofula entirely dis
appeared, and now she seems to be healthy

Christmas at the congregational church.

Christmas at the Congregational Church
Beautiful decorations everywhere
greeted the eye at the Congregational
church on Christmas night, and it was
a large and an appreciative audience
which there assembled. Many went
away because they could not obtain
seats while others manifested their in
terest by standing the entire evening
The program altho' long was not tedi-
GUS, the parts being rendered in a mar
ner which reflected much credit on the
participants. Exceptionally beautiful
was the song by little Gertrude Stevens.
Many eyes became dewy as the sweet
voice OF the child singer went straight
to their hearts. Truly ''Of such is the
Kingdom of Heaven The recitation
by Georgia Campbell was one of the
best of those by the little ones, while of
the parts contributed by the young
ladies, that by Miss Fannie Jones is es-
pecially worthy of mention. This
young lady, who gives promise of be-
coming a fine elocutionist, held the at
tention of her audience through the
rendering of long poem entitled
'Nellie's Christmas Eve.''
During the evening the eyes of the
children as we'll as of their older
friends turned often and expectantly
towards the snow-roofed home of Santa
Claus, which with it's significantly
broad, red chimney betokened that the
venerable gentleman was not far dis
tant. And 10! the music was suddenly
cut short by shouts and the jingle of
sleighbells, and there indeed appeared
the jovial face of St. Nicholas himself,
grimacing from the chimney top to the
happy children below. He was not
long in defending the roof to their very
midst in front of the immense Christ
mas tree, which Bonded beneath it's
fruit OF rich gifts and gay colored lam
terms gave evidence that this was not
his first visit to it's boughs. Then fol-
lo"eu Cne mosC exciting part OF the
evening. When at last it was all over,
was it to be wondered at that all Joined
heartily in singing ''Praise God from
whom all blessings fow?''
Happy were the hearts which went
out of that church into the calm Christ
mas moonlight, carrying with them
into their homes the full meaning of
the words they had read and sung,
peace on earth, goodwill to menu
May the sweet influence of that
Christmas night and the love of that
little child who received the first
Christmas gift on earth shine into our
hearts and through our being to
brighten the lives of all around us
through the Happy New Year of 1891.

great novelty. The fnely-modeled,
cllnker-built boat belonging here in

rigging so completely arranged that it
showed up in true nautical style.
Twelve small boys were clad in sailor
