POLITICS AT WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, SEPT. 20, 1S93.-
A very grave charge has been
brought against the President of
the United States by his personal
friends-that of having nominated
J. j. Van Allen to be Ambassador
to Italy, knowing that the said
nomination had been sold to the
said Van Allen by ex-Secretsry
Whitney for the sum of $4,000,
which was turned into the demo.
cratic campaign fund last year.
1t is stated by those who enjoyed
the closest personal relations with
Mr.. Cleveland that he was cogni-
zant of the $4,000 contribution,
the terms upon which it was made
aud that the nomination of Van
Allen was not sent the Senate until
he had refused to relinquish his
claim thereto for the return of his
$4,000, which certain friends of Mr..
Cleveland offered to contribute in
order to prevent the consumation
of the scandelous dargin, and had
threatened to make public the
transaction. AS might be supposed
this charge has created a sensation
in congress, The nomination of
Van Allen is now before the senate
committee on Foreign Relations,
which may make an investigation
of the charge, although the chances
are that an attempt will be made
to hush the matter up by getting
Mr.. Cleveland to wi hdraw the
nomination. To Judge from re-
marks made by Senators it would
be next to impossible to get a ia
vorable report from the committee
on this nomination, and even if a
favorable report were secured the
Senate would in all probability re-
ject the nomination by consider
able majority.
To listen to the arguments put

THE PARLIAMENT OF RELIGIONS.

The world moves, Prophecy is
being fulfilled. The millennium is
ON its way. Never SO fully as now
have we appreciated the meaning of
the words:
We are living, we are dwelling,
In a grand and awful time;
In an age on ages telling,
10 be living is sublime.
In connection with the greatest
exposition the world ever saw there
has been in session a parliament
such as the world not only never
dreamed Of, "a parliament never be-
fore was possible,a parliament of uni
versal religion says Rev. Geo. W,
Crofts.
Since the day of Pentecost there
has not been such an unique and
cosmopolitan assemblage, and like
that day, it will ever have record
in history, and as the Columbian
Exposition is held in honor of the
4O0th anniversary of the discovery
Of America, SO will this parliament
be looked upon as the time when a
great continent of spiritual truth
was revealed to the delighted and
astonished gaze of humanity. All
this is credit to the age, a credit to
America, and a credit to Christian
ity. No other age could have con-
ceived such thought, in no other
land could it have been executed,
and under the banner of no other
religion except the broad, philan-
thropic, fearless Christian faith
could it have received patronage
and protection. Indeed we may
says: ut is the Lords doing and is
marvellous in our eyes,"
DIR. Barrows, as he stands out in
bold relief as the central figure in
this great movement, has brought to
himself undying fame, and the pen
of the historian will in the future re.
cord his name with those of othe,
great spirits that have stood at the
opening Of the gates of progress.

for the Voorhees, repeal bill; and he
also has the idea that the vote on re-
peal can soon be forced in the SEN
ate and that Congress can be made
to adjourn, as it is not probable that
the Ways and Means committee will
be ready to report the tariff bill
much, fanny, earlier than the regu-
lar session. But the chef reason is
that he has not yet decided what f.
nancial measures shall be reported
to the House, and until he does he
wants the members of these two
committees to refrain from publicly
committing themselves for or against
proposed measures. 1t is a big job
to attempt to run both the execu.
tive and legislative branch Of Of the
government, but republicans ought
to wish that Mr.. Cleveland would
make a success of it, because how
ever faulty many of his ideas are
they are Tar better than what hi.
party would bring forward, if free(
from his influence.

THE democrats in the House have
for the purpose of getting the bill,
repealed all laws authorizing FEEDER
al supervision of Presidential and
Congressional elections, before the
House adopted the most outrageous
clotme rule ever even suggested to
a legislative body. a rule OF which
Representative Burrows truly says;
"In the Fifty-frst Congress all that
we ever did was to cut off dilatory
motions But now, if the Capitol
should fall down or take fire while
the committees were being
called we would not even be able tc
take recess If this unusua
method had to be adopted by the
democrats after weeks uneifectua,

House it is difficult to imagine what
they will have to resort to before i
is passed.

Mr.. CLEVELAND is slowly but
surely finding out that there are
some things which even a President
with a powerful will cannot do, and
one Of these things is to compel the
U. s. Senate to vote upon bill be-
fore its members get good and
ready. Some time ago the amour
cement was made that having be-
come tired of the delay Mr.. Cleve-
land intended to personally force a
vote on the Voorhees, repeal bill.
Well, the vote has not been taken
and there is no indication that it will
be taken soon. The silver Senators
have announced their determination
to fillibuster indefinitely to prevent
a vote, and they are quite strong
enough to do it under the present
rules of the Senate.

DEPUTY President is a position
unknown to the constitution of the
United States, but it practically ex-
lists all the same, and is filled by
Secretary Lamont, who while NOM
inally at the head of the War depart
ment, if reports are true has very
little to do with its business; his nu-
merous duties as Deputy President
leaving him no time even if he had
the inclination. Little time as he
has given to the War department
since he entered the cabinet, it is
probable that he will give less 10 the
future, as the statement was this
week semi officially made that a
democrat was being sought with the
ability to perform the duties of Sec
rotary Of War and the willingness to
accept the position and salary Of As
sistant Secretary, the object being
to allow Dan Lamont to continue

The majority in the Senate has
not yet been entirely subdued by
Mr.. Cleveland, but that in the
House is so thoroughly under his
control that it accepts as final and
unquestionable his slightest init
nation. Ever since Springer, of H.
linois, was made chairman of the
House committee on Banking and
Currency that committee has been
considering several financial bills,
and the announcement was made on
the authority of Springer that it
would at once report one or more
bills to the House, Well, it will do
no such thing. Mr.. ClevelandS has
ordered that no bill dealing with f.
nancial matters shall be reported to
the House until further notice from
him, and the members of Springcr's
committee and those of Bland's
Coinage committee are, like the rest
of the House, idling their time away.
There are several reasons for Mr..
Cleveland's muzzling these House
committees. 1t has been reported
TO him that a majority of Springer's
committee had informally expressed
themselves against the repeal of the
tax on state bank currency, meas
ure on certain southern Senators

SENATOR VOORHEES, has begun to
realize the difficulty of the task he
has assumed, as the leader of those
who favor the bill for the uncondi-
tional repeal of the purchasing
clause Of the silver law, in trying to
force that measure through the SEN
ate at an unusual rate ofspeed. He
was squarely defeated by the oppo-
nents of the bill upon two different
votes, and he only saved himself
from the third defeat by withdraw
ing his resolution providing for the
daily meeting of the Senate at IL in
stead of II o'clock. These votes
did not prove that the silver men
control the Senate, but they did
prove that the silver Senators are
sticking closer to their duties than
their opponents. There were 90
Senators who voted against Senator
Voorhees, and only 2S with him, in
open session, and 30 against and on
ly 81 with him in the vote that was
taken in executive session. If the
repeal Senators cannot be made to
attend the sessions of the Senate the
tables may be turned and the de-
mand for an immediate vote on the
bill be made by the silver men, in.
stead of by the repeal men, as it has
been.

SPEAKING of money contributed
to elect Mr.. Cleveland, the nomina-
ton d James ]. Van Allen, SON.
in-law of VIM B. Astor, to be Am
bassador to Italy, is reported to be a
direct result of certain large contri-
buttons to the democratic campaign
fund. Mr.. Van Allen is credited to
Rhode Island, because he owns an
establishment there, but he should
in reality have been credited to Eu-
rope, where he has lived nearly all
the time for a number of years.

The closing days CT the tariff
hearings were made exciting and de-
cidedly unpleasant for chairman
Wilson and his free trade democrat
ic colleagues on the House Ways
and Means Committee, by the pres
cnce of one hundred prominent dem
ocrats from the states of Maryland,
Virginia and West Virginia who
demanded that the tariff on
bituminous coal be let alone.
Mr.. Wilson and his colleagues were
told that if they removed the tariff
on coal they would kill one of the
most important industries Of those
three states, to say nothing of losing
all chance to keep those states, in
the democratic column. The men
who publicly made the statements
were not confined to those PERSONAL
ly interested in the mining and
transportation of coal. but included
such prominent democrats as Gov.
McCorkle, of West Virginia. The
public statements of these democrat
ic protectionists created a sensation
among the democratic free traders
in Congress. They told Mr.. Wilson
and other democrats that they might
as well bid a long farewell to public
life if they persisted in their free
trade ideas. They also told them
they had the facts concerning the
Whitney syndicate, which has OBJ
tanned options upon all of the Nova
Scotia bituminons coal mines with
the expectation of monoplizing the
trade of the United States when the
tariff on foreign coal was removed,
and that they would make public
the full details, no matter who was
injured, if the tariff was removed or
lowered. This last statement we
should think, was not pleasing read
ing at the White House, as it said to
be we'll known fact that the Whit
ney syndicate is largely composed Of
the men who contributed the money
that made Mr.. Cleveland's election
possible.

Wonders of Annexation.

This is already the greatest country
the sun ever shone upon. But what will
it be when Claus Spreckels annexes
Hawaii to us; when Goodwin Smith has
pulled down the commercial and polt-
ical barriers between US aad Canada,
and when the American syndicate now
in control of San Domingo's finances
have hitched that miserable bankrupt is
land on to our then united kingdom?
What great blessings will flow from the
possession of these islands and countries
and the increased commerce do to unre-
stricted trade with them? For if all are
part Of this United States the benefits
Of free trade will be undisputed.
The most rock ribbed professor In the
Mckinley school Of economics does not
advocate protective tariff walls between
our states, and certainly there are more
natural reasons for such wall between
New York and Virginia than between
New York and Canada-that Is, Of
course, if Canada were also a part OF
this country.
Now, two tariff walls are necessary
between each of these countries to keep
them mutually prosperous. But let a
few politicians and rich spectators put
one name over all, and, like magic, every

War In Canada.

The good effect of the battle of Nov. s,
1892, will extend to all the countries of
the world and throughout all time. TAX
ing heart from the victory of patriotism
and enlightened self interest in this coun-
try over plutocracy and blind selfshness,
the good and overtaxed people of Canada
are now waging the same war against
''protection" and greed that was waged
here last year. The Manitoba and North
western members of the Canadian parlia-
ment have agreed unanimously to- gp-
port Mr.. Davin's motion to put bar led
wire, farm implements, binder Irvine,
coal oil and cotton on the free list. Many
heretofore conservative members and
papers have come out against protection.
But perhaps the most significant thing of
all is the action of the central farmers
institute at its annual convention, which
has just closed in Toronto. They passed
unanimously the following comprehen-
sive resolution, which explains itself:
That whereas the farmers of Canada during
the last ID years have largely supported pro-
tective policy for the purpose of establishing
and building up the manufacturing interests
Of this country, and whereas such manufac-
turing industries as are suitable for this coun-
try have received such assistance for a period
long enough to enable them now to Withstand
fair and open competition, and whereas the
Canadian Manufacturers association at its
annual meeting held In Toronto, Feb. Z. de-
clares and reaffirms its determination to sup
port and perpetuate the high tariff policy, be- it
therefore resolved that this meeting hereby
declares and aff1rms that to continue and per-
petuate such high tariff policy will be detri-
mental to the vital interests of the agricultural
community; that we are Of the opinion that the
time has come for the adoption Of free II ..de
with Great Britain and the same privileg to
foreign countries that will give like privilege
to us.

The New Tin Tax.

The Mckinley tariff law provides that
q duty Of 4 cents pound shall be levied
on pig tin after the LIST of next July.
The provision was meant to encourage
the discovery and development of tin
mines in this country. Since it was
passed the country has learned that there
are no tin mines to be thus encouraged.
The imposition of the tax, therefore,
will protect nobody and do nobody any
good. It will add to the cost of tin, which
is largely used as raw material by many
Of our manufacturers. It will enhance
the cost Of all articles in which tin is
used. It win still further discourage the
infrm Infant industry" Of tin plate man
ufacture which the Mckinley law has
been so extensively nursing.
Nevertheless the Republicans in the
senate have prevented the passage of
measure to repeal the tax before the
time set for it to take effect. Their only
reason seems to be that they have come
to regard the Mckinley tariff as thing
sacred, a scripture that no man may alter
In any Of its parts without mourning
anathema. York World.

THE CITY.

Mineral Point, which has been a
polling place since 1886, probably
never held a more generally interesting
local election than that of Tuesday
last. Two tickets-Democrati and
Republican-and each headed by a
man of acknowledged personal popu-
larity, were in the field; and the
question of license or no license was
up for settlement This, together
with the desire of our citizens general
ly, regardless of party affiliations, to
support the candidacy Of our worthy
townsman Charles w. McIlhon, for
county Judge, called out large vote;
and when the polls closed it was found
that 687 ballots had been deposited
in the boxes. The result was a clean
sweep for the Democratic city and
ward tickets, with the exception OF
treasurer. The election of Demo-
cratic mayor and two Democratic
aldermen makes the city council solidly
Democratic.
n. II. Snow, for mayor, received $50
majority; L. w. Sylvester, school
superintendent, 20; n. Hartert, asses
sor, 179; Bennett Vim, republican,
for treasurer, Is.
In the first ward, w. S. Ross, for
alderman, had 76 majority, while j.
Montgomery Smith, supervisor, A. S.
White, justice, and Richard Venning,
constable were elected without oppo-
sition.
In the second ward John Gorgen,
alderman, had SO majority; George
Jeuck, supervisor, 81; and Thomas
Smith, constable, %; while Henry
Pittz had no opposition for justice.
A majority of 3l2 was recorded in
favor of granting license.

Protection Means Robbery.

But what is the meaning of protection!
It means an additional sixpence for each
loaf. That is the Irish of it. If he had
not the protection, the loaf would sell
for shilling, but if he has protection it
will sell for one and sixpence. Protection
is the English for sixpence. And, what
is more, it is the English for an extorted
sixpence. The real meaning of protec-
ton, therefore, is robbery-robbery of
the poor by the rich.-Daniel O'Con-
nell, Sept. %, 1913, in his fight against
the high tariff corn laws.
