WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our regular correspondent.
WASHINGTON, d. c.. March Z, 1897


wAsHrrGToE, D. G., March Z, 1892
Senator German is credited with
having originated new scheme,
having for its object the capture of
the Presidency by the Democrats.
1t being already apparent that in q
square fight between the RepuB biz
can aud Democratic parties the
chances Of success are largely III
favor of the Republican party, the
| Democratic bosses have been
cudgelling their brains To hatch up
some underhanded method of aiding
their party. Mr., German has found
that method, or thinks he has. The
scheme is to give the electoral votes
of four or five Of the Northwestern
States to the peoples party which
would according TO the calculatio MS
made, throw the election Of PresI-
dent into the House ana of Vice
President into the Senate, giving
| the Democrats the President and
the Republicans the Vice President.
The details of the scheme are very
shrewd-this exposure may cause a
change in them--the intention be-
ing to keep the whole thing in the
| hands of a few men, sworn to
secrecy, in each of the States select
ed until election day. The usual
process of selecting Democratic
electors Is To be gone through with,
in order to blind the Republicans;
but on election day the Democratic
tickets are TO contain only the
names of the electors of the peo-
pies party. This is a nice little
scheme to capture the votes of Re
publican members of the farmers

but now that it has become known
it is not probable that many Re
Ipublicans will be caught,
Three thousand men and women,
having influence, direct and indirect,
with probably one million voters,
enrolled in the ranks of the various
labor organization of the country,
or controlled by the newspapers
with which many of them are or
have been connected, are anxlouSly
waiting to see whether Democratic
parsimony Is to keep their lives aud
health in the danger to which they
are now exposed by refusing t. pro-
vide for new Government printing
office building. The three thousand
men and women are the employees
compelled to risk their health aud
lives in the present building in
order TO earn a livelihood for them
selves and families.

SENATOR DAVID B HILL is not a
salary grabber. He accepted it as
United States Senator only from
January 3, 1892, the day he was
sworn in. 1t would have been too
barefaced even for a man who stole
a legislature to draw pay both as
Governor of New York and as
United States Senator.

A Reason Wanted.

On Friday last the general con
ference of the Methodist Episcopal
Church, in session at Baltimore,
by a vote of l26 nays to 81 yeas,
refused to admit women az dele
gates to the general conferences Of
the churc h.
Why should women be denied
this privilege? Have not women
souls to be saved? Have not women
given their lives at the stake, or on
the gibbet, for the cause Of Christ?
Have not women, to the extent of
their means, given more literally
to the church, and most of all to
that branch Of it that is known as
the Methodist Episcopal, than men
have done? Have not women made
the hearts and homes of men clean,
80 far as they have been clean at
all, not only since the beginning of
the Christ era but from the
dawn of creation?
Did the 1876 pious but misguided
men who voted in the negative, or
any one of them, ever read SCOTS
"Marmion?" If they, or he, did,
they, or he. could not fail to re-
member the lines:
"Oh, woman! In our hours Of ease,
Uncertain, coy, and hard TO please,
And variable rs the shade
BY the light, quiveriug, aspen made:
when pain and anguish wiring the brow,
i minstering angel thou!"
Failing in that general view, did
they, or any one Of them, ever
kneel at a mothers knee; did they,
or any one of them, ever know a
wife's embra &c, daughters caress
Do they, or any one them, know
that the religion they profess is
that of Christ, and not that of Cen
fucius, whose teuets not only per
NIT but prescribe the killing of
female infants? lave they, or any
one OF the m, the slightest idea
that by their vote they have
trampl ed upon all the teachings of
the Master during his short sojourn
ON earth? 1t was to women only
that Christ appeared after the
three days in the sepulcher, and to
them was given the message: 81
am the Resurrection and the Life, y
There is a reason wanted, a very
conclusive one, for this action OF
this church conclave.-Iater Ocean.

Mr.. Hosken, cut that $4,000 sum
down to the lowest round figure that
Will pay the floating Indebtedness of
the town on account of new water
works.
Or, letting the figure remain, have
the bill provide expressly that proceeds
of bonds shall be applied to taking up
the floating debt and to securing ne"
sources of supply to new water works,
and not to the purchase of any old
water works whatever.
Don't put the towns credit i'll peril
by providing for an absolutely needless
purchase.
Frostburg mining journal. [volume] (Frostburg, Md.) 1871-1913, 1892-02-06
Let Us Reason Together.

A stock reason for the purchase of
the old water works is-it will do
away with competition; another that
it will turn $500 more of revenue into
the water treasury.
The first implies that the competition
is to be maintained; III which event
we are to have just as much water as
we have now and at lower prices than if
the town had it all.
The second shows that of TIE rev
enue of $500 it will take nearly or
quite 5000 to pay the interest on the
purchase money; so that we will have
really only profit of = per cent. per-
anqum for our investment of nearly or
quite $4,000 an exceedingly poor
speculation.
Now, fellow citizens, we will get no
more water by buying the old works
than we have now-not drop. We
get all without buying the old works
that we will get by buying them.
If the old company keeps prices
down by competition, we will have to
make up deficits by taxation.
What, therefore, we will gain in low
rents we will lose in high taxes.
The bonds SO far issued will have to
be paid-principal and interest-by
rents or taxes, or both. Those who
patronize the new plant will pay less
for water than those who lake the old,
for the latter will Il nder tribute to two
masters.
But for the latter class the old water
works would come down to their true
value.
The $4,000 now proposed is, there
fore, the price wanted by the old com
pany for its clientele a sum the town
must pay for the patronage of a por-
ton of its own citizens,
For if the whole town was loyal to
itself there would be no proposal to
increase its Indebtedness on any con-
dition that did not mean more water
than both works supply.
The JOURNAL does not at this time
ad Use the people to refuse to ratify
the proposed loan, but it expects to be
compelled to do so.
The sum of $4,000 in cash should
bring that amount in additional water
to the new works. or it should not be
expended.
AS to the water of the old works,
let those who take it do hereafter as
they do now-buy it by the quarter-a
rental equivalent to s percent per amman
on $780, 0O-paid into a foreign
treasury for the support Of aliens and
alien interests.
For the rest of us-we will be
content to Fay our ~ and 6 per- cent. on
a sum which Is in the towns pocket,
and worth in safety and health one
hundred times its cost.
