1t is too low; less than three feet above
ordinary high tide. and its dampness
and consequent unhealthyness have
caused it to be abandoned for higher
grounds. All of Washingtons largest
business houses. most of which were on
the avenue, are now on F and g streets
and the loss of business and consequent
lowering of rentals, have caused the
forming of a powerful lobby, aided by
both of Washington's daily newspapers
which own plants on the avenue, to
work bills through congress locating
public buildings in this swampy section.
Congress should beware Of the scheme.

Attorney General Spencer has
ruled that the prohibitionists cannot
have the name of their party printed
on the Australian ballet in this state
this fall. The law of 1890 is plain
on that point. No political party
can be named that did not at the
preceding election cast five per
cent. of the whole vote of the state.
This lets the independents in, but
not the prohibitionists, farmers al
liance or any of the other isms now

WASHINGTON, April 20, 1892.
The latest democratic scheme to aid
in throwing the election of president
into the house Of representatives is
shrewd, but it will not work, fer the
very simple reason that the republican
LEADERS, see through 1t and will take
care that it is made equally clear to the
veters in the states concerned. At a
consultation attended by Senator Cor
man, Brice and Hill, and some other
prominent democrats it was decided
that it would greatly strengthen the
chances of the third party to carry, of
course, with the assistance of the solid
democratic vote, four or five of the
northwestern states, if it could be
made to appear probable that it could
carry an equal number of southern
states.
Carrying out the idea of that confer
ence, southern democrats of promi
nence have filled up" every newspaper
man that they could get at with their
fears that the third party may carry
from four to seven of the southern
states, and lots of rot has been tele-
graphed from here concerning this al
legged new phase of the presidential
campaign-new nothing. There is as
much probability that the electoral
votes of any southern state with the ex-
ception of the tive Virginias, either or
both of which may be carried by the
republicans, will be cast tor = third
party candidate as there is that Texas
will 60 republican. It is simply a dodge

xioning the Northern Pacific railroad
asking them to move the depot
about half block or block south
of its present location. The way it is
situated now is in regular mud hole
and it is almost impossible to get to
it without getting nired. The depot
certainly should be moved. The
other day lady got off at Coopers-
town and she had to wait half an
hour for dray before she could get
away from the depot. 1t is time
something was done in the matter.

belong to the farmers organization in

Only three democrats voted against
the bill for the admission of cotton ties
and bagging free of duty, winch was
passed by the house Saturday after.
noon, and yet it is one of the most IL.
logical as well as sectional bills ever

the nerve to cast their votes against the

The Worlds Fair congressional COM
mlttecs have beeh giving hearing both
for and against the opening Of the ex.
position on Sunday, and as far as the
arguments go the opposition to Sunday
opening has decidedly the best of it.
What congress will do, or whether it
will do anything is matter of doubt;
it would much prefer escaping rospon-
sibility by doing nothing, but the pres
ure is becoming SO strong that some
action may haye to be taken.
Real estate speculator are everywhere
a shrewd lot, but those of Washington
should be rated above them all-they
have made millions by unloading
ground, bought for a song, upon the
government at fancy prices, and they
are still at it. At the last session of
congress bill appropriating the money
to purchase site for the Washington i
city post-office on the south side of
Penn avenue, the most dispreputable
part of the city, became law, and in
duo time the aforesaid speculators re.
ceived about three times as much as the
squars-about the most unproductive
property in town-was worth, and now
engineers are searching for solid
foundation, which they say can only be
had upon forty foot piles, and even
then it will be necessary to cement the
entire bottom and. sides of the cellar,
and to provide tie building with
powerful pumping outfit to keep 1t
dry.
A bill has been introduced in con-
gress to build a new patent office in
tho same locality presumably on the
same sort of foundation, at a cost of
SO, ,5OO.o 900. Now word about that 10.
cality. Strangers to Washington have
heard SO much about Pennsylvania
avenue that it is natural for them to
suppose that it would be perfectly
proper place to erect costly buildings
but as a matter Of fact il isn't. Why:

A Good Prohibition item,

The best snake story ever originated
is told by Editor Scott, formerly of
Dickinson, but now of the C9ur d.
Alene Press: A farmer of Stark coun-
ty, North Dakota, says he has u snake
which swallowed an eight day clock in
August, 1887. Until tile clock run
down it'struck regular and its ticking
could be heard. A short time ago the
farmer found some eggs which had
been deposited in a hole near the rep.
tile, and on breaking them open found
that each contained an open face watch
in first.class running order. He sold
the watches at a big profit and has now
given the snake post augur in the
hope that it will produce sufficient
cork screws to enable him to start a
wholesale drug store in that prohibition
state. Next!
