WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our Regular Correspondent.
WASHINGTON Nav 20, 1892.


"Does the President desire a renomi-
nation?" This question may sound
strange to some people, but it was seri-
ously asked by a republican Senator of
four other republican Senators, two of
whom haye themselves been prominently
mentioned in this and other presidential
years as available candidates, and it
brought out the fact that although each
of the five constantly meet Mr.. Harrison
and discuss political affairs with him.
not one of them had ever heard him say
one single word that could be construed
as expressing desire to be nominated.
They were all of the opinion that the
only ground that exists for supposing
that the President does wish renoml-
nation is that he has not said that he
did not. The conversation in question
was private, which precludes the use of
names.
Secretary Foster has approved of the
idea of coming $1O,O00,OOO in silver
halfdollars with special design COM
memorative of the worlds fair, and had
promised to lend his aid in securing the
necessary congressional legislation.
The democrats in congress daily grow
more uncertain on the Presidential ques-
ton. They now consider that Hill is no
longer even a possibility, and regard
Cleveland as possibility, but decline to
concede the probability of his nomina-
ton in the face of Hills active opposition.
Many of them confess that they know
not which way to turn for candidate.
The democrats ofthe House committee
on appropriations in reporting adversely
upon the joint resolution appropriating
100000 for the relief of those made
homeless by the overflow of the Missis-
sippi river in Warren county, Mississippi,
on the ground that there is no law au-
thorizing such appropriations and that
it would be dangerous to set such pre-
cedent, forgot the highest law of all
humanity. If it is right for Congress to
appropriate millions to improve rivers
and harbors in the several states it can
not be wrong to appropriate n few thou
sand dollars to relieve sufferings brought
upon honest, hard working citizens of
one of those States by floods which they
could not have foreseen or prevented,
People who usually run away with
everything have been disposed to make
much of the statement that the depart
ment OF State has received no formal ac-
ceptance to the Presidents invitation to
foreign governments to attend the pro-
posed international monetary conference.
While it is true that no official acceptan-
ces haye been received. Great Britain, It.
ally and Austria Hungary have accepted
add in due course of time copies of their
acceptances will arrive by mail. France
Switzerland and several other countries
have given satisfactory intimation of
their intention to accept.

There arrived in the city on Sunday
night, Canon Francis de Vivaldi, of
Buenos Ayres. South America, who was
the first Catholic priest who lived as a
missionary among the Winnebago In
dams in Minnesota. He came from
France with Bishop Creten, first Bishop
of St. Paul, as his secretary. About SO
years ago, he purchased from the GOV
eminent the SEA of SEA Sec. 1, town
ship 35, range 81, containing 40 acres,
and for which patent was duly issued to
him. This land is located on the east
side, near the retormatory. Father Vi
valdi left this region later on, giving
Father Pierz permission to place some
friends upon it. Later, it seems that
Father Pierz decided it to the Order of
st. Benedict, the latter sold it to J. c.
Waite, who deededit to H. c. Waite, his
father. The original title had never
been transferred, and, to quiet title, H.
Z. Waite brought suit in 1888. alleging
that de Vlvaldi was dead. Judgement
was entered in his favor. Later, how
eyer, an heir of Vivaldi brought suit, to
have the judgement opened. This was
denied, the case went to the Supreme
Court, which reversed the decision of the
lower court. This opened up the ques-
ton again, and permitted the heir to an
swer, While this is pending, now comes
Father de Viyaldi, in person. aliye and
well, to establish his claim to the land.
He denies selling or transferring it, and
claims it as his property. The land is
worth probably $4,000 or 81, OOO.-[St.

THE Anti-Harrison men areconcoctlng
all sorts of schemes to compass the de-
feat of the president for denomination.
That Mr.. Blaine could have had the
nomination for the presidency at the
hands of the Minneapolis convention did
not admit of reasonable doubt. He saw
fit to decline it so far in advance as not
to embarrass any other aspirant. 1t
was his purpose to leave the field wide
open. Having taken himself out OF the
field there was no installing the choice
second choice doubtless on the part OF
many-of the great mass of the repub-
lican party. President Harrison was the
legitimate legatee Of the Blaine strength.
His administration has been wise. pure
and patriotic. The people are satisfied
with it. But unfortunately for many OF
the machine politicians, the president
has not been sufficiently plastic to suit
them, and they are bound to defeat his
aspirations, if possible. Their last game
is desperate one. They will nominate
Blaine in any event, if possible, and if he
peremptorily decline. will seek for another
candidate, believing that Mr.. Harrison
would not accept nomination that had
been declined by his secretary of state.
Then some lesser light would be flashed
upon the conyention-notw with any we'll
grounded hope that he could be elected,
but The purpose of the conspirators
would be accomplished-Mr. Harrison
would be defeated and with him the
party. The HERALD does not believe
these tactics can win; it has more conf
dence in the political fidelity of a great
majority of the delegates to the National
convention. An attempt to carry
through a scheme of this sort ought to
relegate to everlasting oblivion every
man who advocates it. The sooner they
are out of the party the better for it.
They are confessed spoilsmen and fit po-
litical associates for the Tammany wing
of the democracy only.

Attested Popularity.

One of the most honest and reliable
houses we have ever dealt with is the
Swift Specific Company, of Atlanta, Ca,
the well known founders and manufac.
turers of these very popular blood rene
dy, S. S. S., which to our personal know
ledge has cured many people throughout
this section of terrible blood diseases.
Our druggists inform us that in the past
six months they have sold more of S. S.
S. than any other preparation for the
blood OH their shelves. The success
achieved by that firm is mainly due to
their extensive advertising and to the
purity of their medicine, which does
everything claimed for it. We are un-

THE FARMER.

That the farmer, the producer to whom
the world is indebted for whatever of
prosperity is enjoyed is too frequently
Disseminated against by combinations
and greedy spectators, is too evident to
require argument. But that ne is re-
degrading financially is a statement
which facts fail to substantiate. Abuses
exist which demand heroic attention,
and there is every reason to believe that
such abuses will be reduced to the mini
mum in the near future. And yet, the
farmer is far from being in such desper-
ate present straits with still gloomier
future, as the political demagogue would
Llaye him believe. He is rapidly foregoing
his way to absolute independence, as a
class, and in no line OF business are debts
being discharged as rapidly as by him.
The appreciation of farming land
values and the increased demand tor
lands is practical exemplifcation of
the fact that the belief that agriculture
is Improbable is far from universal. If
the condition of tie farmer is such as the
calamity bowler delights to depict there
would certainly beno disposition for far
seeing men to invest in agricultural
lands--there would be no demand for
lands, and certainly no increase in
values.
The following from the Topeka Kas.
Capital. would indicate that the farmers
of Kansas are prospecting. in face of the
fact that they are constantly held up to
the world as being practically bankrupt.
