The democratic party is doing
everything to throw the respOnsi-
bility of the labor strike on the
republican party. The fact of the
matter is, the republicans are DO
more Z IIe9f2g9p8siP3le g for this strike than
was a rampant democrat. The
democratic party was not charged
with being responsible for that
fight. 1t is anything with the
democrats to win in the next elec.
ton and for that reason they are
seizlng every opportunity to make
political capital.
The American people thoroughly
understandable tactics of the demo
cratic party, they are aware that
the country is more prosperous
under this administration than if
was under the Cleveland admistra-
ton. 1t is not

so much the people fear as it is the
democratic party behind him. The
Cleveland administration was a
scene of pestilence and hardships.
The coming

ever was held in the District of

'ans, who can not expect to retain

DISTRICT REPUBLICANS.

Elsewhere in this issue of the

s. the Evening Star of q conference
held by the District republicans
to make arrangements for ratifi-
cation meeting.
Notwithstanding the fact that a
numbe: of Office holders were alb
sent at this conference. it Was one
OF the most representative repub-
llcan gatherings ever held In this
city.
There are a number of republi-
cans In office who are afraid to
show their hand for fear the re-
publicans will be defeated in the
next el ction and if they don't
come out to ratify the nominations
OF the two republican standard
bearers they presume that they
will be among the lucky ones to
be retained in the event of demo-
cratic success. There are quite
number of sneaks in office tod Y
who are quietly stabbing the |

publlcsns. The administration
may know its business, but, the
BEE is of the opinion that it
would be better tor the party to
suffer defeat with lis friends in

Marriages reported: 80 white:
6 colored. Still-births reported;
2 white: Z colored.
A decrease in the number of
deaths during the last week as
compared with that of the pre-
vious week is an encouraging re-
port of the mortality of the Dis
trlct at this season of the year.
There were 153 deaths as against
l62 in the previous week. The
rapid rise in the number of deaths
which began in the middle of
last month was undoubtedly owing
to the long continued heated term
throughout the whole OF June.

NO DISCRIMINATION MEANT.

BOSTON, July IL Regarding
the clause il the Chinese exclusion
act requiring that the identified.
ton OF Chinese resident must be
established by the testimony of a
credible "white" witness, the fol-
lowing letter from President HarrI-
son was received by Butler r.
Wilson, esq, cOlored lawyer of this
city:
EXECUTIVE MANSION.
WASHINGTON, ID. c., July 10. 1892.
Butler S Wilson, esq, Boston.
My Dear Sir: Ihave your letter
of June 20, and would have
answered it sooner but for the great
press of other matters. Senator
Dolph of Oregon, who was on the
conference committee that framed
the modified bill, assured me that
the use of the term "whlte" was a
mere slip in the haste that charac-
terized the legislation at the last
by reason of the fact that the ex-
plratiOn of previous exclusion laws
was so near at hand. The whole
scope of the legislation shows that
there could have been no purpose
TO distinguish between black and
white witnesses. | conferred with
the Attorney General upon the
subject before signing the bill, and
he agreed with me that the courts,
in view of these facts, especially
in view Of the amendments to the
Constitution, would so cOnStrue
this statute as to make no discrimi-
nation between black and white
witnesses. In this state of the case
[ did not feel justified in withhold
ing my signature from the bill, and
thus bringing all restriction upon
Chinese immigrat on to an end,
| am sure our cOlOred people, so
largely engaged in industrial pur-
suits, would not have desired that. |
1t Is quite probable that an amend
nent or joint resolution, expressing
plainly the intention of Congress |
u this connection, may be secured |
It this session. Mr.. Dolph has al.
eady moved in the matter, as you
will have noticed. Very truly,

THE LAST PRACTICE.
Seattle Football Team Ready
for Mondays Struggle.
CHANGES IN THE MAKEUP
There Will Be . Bigger, Gsyer, Noisier
Crowd at Madison Street Park on
Jan. 2 Than on Thanksgiving.

Notwithstanding d,izzling rain the Seattle
Athletic Clubs football team took its
regular practice at the university grounds
yesterday afternoon. There were q few
changes in the makeup. Randall was moved
from half-back to LETT end. Dickey was moved
from quarter TO half-back. Word was received
yesterday that Ceilings. of the State UNIVERSE
ties. who was talked OF for both quarter and
left end, is sick at his home in Vancouver and
will not be able TO play. This makes
it reasonably sure that Darlington will
play at quarterback. The last.
practice OF the team before the great game with
Portland, will be held this afternoon at o'clock
at Madison street park. An especial effort will
be made to have as many players out as possible
in order TO have a strong scrub team to give the
regulars plenty of hard work.
The match on next Monday with Portland is
more and more each day becoming a popular
topic, and the demonstration at Madison street
park promises 10 exceed tina: of Thanksgiving
day. II indications go for anything, there
will bs a bigger crowd, more yards Of white aad

the men who know most about both teams are
predicting that they will be well matched.

Dir. Walsh. a well-known Washington
City physician, was at cloaE-room seance
the other day. He has picture of Dolly
Madison when she was the most charming
old lady in the land. and he Thought that
some of the congressman would be pleased
to inspect it, The doctor told some inter-
esting "reminiscences of Alexander H.
Stephens. He was his me:iical adviser
while Mr.. Stephens was in Washington
City. Mr.. Stephens always occupied the
rooms in which Henry Clay died at the
National hotel. 1t was his desire to end
his life in these rooms when summoned to
the other world. But he die8 at his home
in Georgia.
Although he weighed only ninety-six
pounds, DR.. Walsh says that he was six
feet tall. In his last days in congress no
one ever entered the galleries. of the house
without ineuiring for him. He usually
occupied an invalid's chair, wheeling it
into the space near the speakers desk
when the mouse was called tn order. He
wore black velvet skull cap and black
gloves. He had 4 colored segvant of the
name of Alexander Stephens OF whom he
was excessively fond.

him at the National hotel. He sat near
the fire in his invalid chair. wearing his
skull cap, and talking "a only Mr..
STEPHENS could talk There vas a knock
at the door. The black Stephens answered

West was q powerful man with deep
