treaty which has been nego-
tiated with Hawaii and won
dering what the people would
think of his signing such a
treaty after refusing to even
receive t h e commissioners
sent DO Canada to negotiate
for an enlargement OF our
trade relations, Mr.. Blaine
slipped over to Philadelphia
to see Claus Spreckles, whois
the virtual owner of Hawaii,
and find out what he thought
about this high protection
administration endorsing a
treaty of absolute ira d e.
Meanwhile Mr.. Harrison will
hold the treaty until ho can
sound public opinion; if ia
vorable, he will sign it and
send to the Senate for ratifi-
cation, if unfavorable he will
"pigeon-hole" it. That is
craftsmanship of the Harri-
son brand.
1t IS said that Senator'S Sher-
man has complained to Mr..
Harrison of Mr.. Blaine's med
ding with his Senatorship
campaign in Ohio, and sre-
quested his aid in having it
stopped.
Just as has been predicted
all along the Pacific Mail
Steamship Company will COB
BILE up the greater part of the
money paid out under the
Postal-subsidy act of the last
Congress. Mr.. Wanamaker
has signed eightcontractsfo for
carrying the mailsunder that
law, and the Pacific Mail Co
gets three Of the best of them,
being for ten years each and

WASHINGTON LETTER
From our Regular Correspondent.

just as certain as the caucus
meets next Saturday. AS a
proph e I with a reputa-
ton to maintain, there are
Fno signs visible that would
Justify your correspondence in
dropping any portion of this
composite name. In plain
everyday talk, these five gen
tlemen and their friends are
engaged in conducting one OF
the liveliest and tue most un-
certain campaigns for the
Speakership ever known.
Each Of them is apparently
confident of winning. 1t is
conceded by the other candi-
dates that Mills and Crisp
are we'll in the lead, but they
contend that neither of them
can get votes enough to get
nominated and that after
two or three BALLOTS are ta-
ken without result, there will
be a stampede to other can
didates. Mr.. Crsp's friends
boldly claim his nomination
without fail on the first bal
lot, while the advocates of
Mr.. Mills say that he will be
nominated on the second or
at the outside the third bal.
lot.
1t is believed that more
than one hundred unpledged
memblrs have arrived within
the last forty-eight honrs,
and that half as many more
will be here within the next
two days. Many of these
men are entirely new in Ma
tional politics, and a goodly
percentage of them are per-
sonally unacqdainted with n
single one of the candidates.
1t is the votes OF these new
men which will settle the
Syeakership, and at this wri-
ting no mati can say with
any truthfulness how they
will vote, much will depend
upon the impression made
upon them by the candidates
and their friends, and there
is little doubt that some OF
the candidates are being in
jured by foul-friends. The
caucus, which will probably
be held next Saturday, will
include all OF the Farmers
Alliance men from the South
and perhaps some OF those
from the West, although Jer-
ry Simpson says none OF the
Alliancemen will 60 into the
democratic caucus. 23 5
would be about the number
if there was a full attendance
but it is safe to deduct five
or six on accountof absence
because of sickness or other
reasons, so that it may bel
set down as a reasonable
certainty that the man who
can get 115 votes will be
nominated.
The canvass for the minor
offices of the ilouse is quite
as spirited as that for the
Speakership, and the number
Of candidates is much great
er, and not a few Of them are
ex-Members Of the House.

ganlze for the purpose of
mutual interest and protec-
tion. We urged this necessi-
ty upon the attention of our
friends long before such an
organization was effected.
The movement was wise and
grewout depressing demands.
There was no harmony ofac-
tion amongsthem, and often
they supported men who were
not their real friends. In the
North they voted for candi-
dates and measures that op-
pressed them. The financial
and economic systems OF the
Republican party that con-
trolled the country, were
hostile, oppressive and ruin
Gus to their best interests.
So there was real need of a
change in, the party control
ling tho country, and a con-
sequent change in public pol
icy. TO aid in this good work
and obtain redress, assis-
tance and relief, it was neces-
sary that the farmers,'o the
country should take counsel
together and unite for COM
mon advantage and protec-
tion.
The controlling aim Of the
Alliance in the initial move
ment was wise and excellent
ly taken. 1t was not to run
the political parties, split up
the Democratic party in the
South o.~sOrma new party.
1t was to organize for mutu-
al aid and Instruction. TWAS
to bling to bear upon the
policy of the country the in
fluence and power Of the great
farming community. Moth
ing could be more useful,
needful and becoming. But
what has happened.
Every intelligent member
of the Alliance in North Car
olina can answer that ques-
ton. The Alliance has drift
ed away, and is now floating
on the storm-tossed great
political deep. 1t has been
captured by self-seekers, ex-
tremists and demagogues. It
is threatened with ruin in
many Southern States. 1t
not only is damaging itself,
but it is becoming a mere An
mex and Assistant of the rot
ten Radical party. This is
the Elm North Carolina so
far as those w h . favor a
Third party can make it so.
To split up the Democratic
party simply means in North
Carolina to lose the State to
the white men and put Sam
bo and Cuffee in the saddle
with a few scallawags and
Adventures behind to pull
the strings, Jay. the pipes and
obtain the whole loaves for
themselves. It means that
and nothing else.
Draw off 800 or 10000
voters from the Democrats
and you bind North Carolina
and all Of it's precious inter-
ests fast in the iron sbackles.

JEFFERSON DAVIS PORTRAIT.

The scene in the senate chamoel
last night was typical of the proiounc
rev renee for the memory OF Jefferson
Davis which dwell4 not o ly in the
hearts of those who, on the battle
fields of the civil war fought for the
Lost Cause but also as de ply in thos'
OF the generation that has succeeded
that titanic confllit.
Asex.Governor Lubbock, who was
on the staff of the president OF the
Confederacy, said in his address last
night, presenting the picture OF his
beloved chief to the great state OF
Texas, Jefferson Davis is not dead
He exists in that otter and higher
life, tn, sprea Is out beyond the pres

memories of millions for whose we J.

shook this government to its centre
Governor Lubbock was intimately
associated with jefferson Davis OIL
ciall, and personally Familiar with the
leading characters in the blood.
drama OF 1865, he had ample OPP
portunity OF forming a just estimate
OF the man.
His conclusion, expressed in his
address last night, was that Jefferson
Davi. was one of the greatest, II not
tlegreatest man our country mas
produced. Is it at all Improbable
that this will be the verdict OF cold,
impartial histor, after the passions
and prejudices engendered by The war
between the states shall have passed
away?
Grant, Sherm n, Sheridan, were
victo ious conquerors tecause backed
by overwhelming numbers. Jefferson
Davis mas er mind, out OF chaos cle-
ated a separate government, ortan'z'
large armies, and for four years stood
the terrific sho k IF the rcrs OF IN
old aud established government with
illimi,able resources at it's command
and practically aided by all the gov
ernments of the civilized world. He
rode the whirlwlnd, and amid
the dangerous sublimity OF
the conflict in which
the stars and bars went down forever,
Jefferson Davis stood calm, collected
defiant, unbending, immovable as the
mountain peak against which the
raging storms beat in vain.
The greatness of the President OF
the Coniederacy will SHINE out to
Posterity. Let the portrait of his
features rest in the archives of our
state government for the benefit OF
future generations of Texas.
