WASHINGTON, June IL, 1S91.-Mr. Har-
rison might well have cried "save me
from my friends" when the negro cx-
Congressman, j. NJ. Langston, got him.
SELF interviewed for the purpose ofsaying
that the main issue OF the next campaign
would be the Force bill" and that Mr..
Harrison was the strongest living adyo-
cate OF that measure, and more OF the
same sort. It is only necessary Tor Mr..
Harrison to endorse this position to
kill himself as dead as if he never had
existed. The democratic national COM
mlttee would probably pay Langston to
keep it up on this line. as they are just
laundering to make the "force bilr' one
ri the ISSUES of the campaign.
The state department has placed a
s,nrlai Il a,l at the Il sposal OF the uiplo-
mA.lc cops, and yesterday morning all
ri the countries whose representations
nAppeneu to be in town were t%iguratiye-
" put aboard a Pullman and started
for Chicago, where they will be shown
t.. :.en done towards the great
exp.n.tlyu. 1t is expected that tins
visit will be productive OF much good.
Director General Davis Of the Worlds
Fair was here this week consulting with
department officials as to the, govern
ment exhibit at the exposition, and per-
fecting arrangements for sending a COM
commission abroad for the purpose OF
interesting foreign manufactures and
merchants in the Exposition. He says
success is already assured.
If it be true that Hon. Charles +.
Mitchell, Commissioner Of Patents, will
shortly retire, as is generally believed
here, the peur inventors OF the country
will loose d good friend, as he has just
shown BY changing the rules OF practice
SO as to make it impossible for exam
liners IN the fatent office to reject appli-
cations that ought to- be granted and
then afterwards az patent attorneys get
a fee from the same applicant for getting
through what should have properly gone
through on it's merits in the tirstplace.I The
new rule prohibits any person who has
been employed in the Patent office APP
pearlng as agent or attorney in any
case upon which he has taken any action
while 80 employed, and is commended
by everyone except the it is intended
to hit-the examiner Snow practicing
as attorneys.
Before leaving on a speaking tour OF
the north and west Senator PETER called
at the White House to pay his respects
to Mr.. harrison. He had.an interview
with Mr.. Daniels, editor OF the State
Chronicle, OF Raleigh North Carolina,
that has been much commented on.
"The peoples party" said Senator Pei
fer, twill most assuredly nominate a ma
tional ticket next year, and If we gather
our forces as we'll all over the country
as we did IN Kansas we can easily elect
q President and congress in 1892"
SIS it not better" said Mr.. Daniels,
"for alliance men IN the south to remain
in the democratic party in order to pre-
vent the domination OF the negro?"
"We do notoa no anvth;"" "ho"+ that J
both old parties unless they will help us,
1t is not a part Of our program to tam
per with either. We cannot concern
ourselves with such matters. 1t is time
for the people who are tired Of this
policy OF political ostracism, whether we
live in the north, south, east or west, to
JON hands in friendship, and make a
union that is worth maintaining, and
which will not have to be pinned togeth'
er with bayonets. Let US nationalize
the people. We don't need any Force
bills. We don't need any standing army
to see that the people vote right.
What we need most in this direction is
to see that the union is restored as well
in fact as IN name by going among the
southern people, black and white, and
doing all that We q and as friends OF
peace and good government to assist
them whenever they need any assistance
in adjusting their relations among them
selves in a just and honorable way, con-
sulting their interests and not those OF
persons living in other parts Of the
country"
Postmaster General Wananaksr has
the sympathy OF everybody in the at
tempt that has been made to couple his
name with the crookedness OF the Key
stone National Bank OF Philadelphia.
Mr.. Harrison can scarcely be accused
OF pa~rtisanship in the appointment Of
the justices Of the private land claims
court, as he has appointed three repub'
licans and two democrats. The Chic!
Justice is Joseph r. Reed, Of Iowa, and
the associate justices Wilbur F. Stone.
of Colorado; Fl. G. Sluss, OF Kansas; T,
C. Fuller, OF North Carolina, and W. w
Murray OF Tennessee. The U. S. Attor'
neys are M. G. Reynolds, of Missouri
and L. w. Colby, OF Nebraska.
Nothing pleases q democratic editor
