Our WASHINGTON Letter.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 10th, 1894.
The Democratic managers are
still very much at sea as to Mr..
Clevcland's real attitude towards
Senator Hill. 1t may be true, as
has been repeatedly stated by Mr..
Clcvciand's friends, that he intends
to make Il big contribution to Hills
campaign fund. to register and to
vote for Hill, but nobody has been
found willing to say that Mr..
Cleveland had made any such state
mcnt as to what he would or
would not do, and it looks to i
man unprejudiccd, that all Of these
statements made public by Clcvc-
land Democrats. have had but one
object in view-to compel Mr..
Cleveland to do As the party mana
gers wish him to do. that is, to en-
dorse in some public way the
candidacy of Hill. 1t may be that
he will eventually do SO. but a
member of the Democratic cam
paign committee told Il Democrat
Yesterday, that he wouldn't bet a
nickel on it. People in Washing
ton who know something about the
obstinacy of Mr.. Cleveland, are
predicting that the methods which
have been adopted to force him to
speak, will be more likely to make
him refuse to speak. The order of
the Attorney General, that [. S.
District Attorneys must take no
active part i'll the campaign, is re-
gardcd by some as Il slap at Hill:
and by others as merely a bluff to
please the mugwumps.
1t seems odd that the Democrats
have one scheme that they invaria-
bly, try to work just before every
national election, whether Con-
grcssional or Presidential and Con
grcssional combined. That is to
get it widely published that their
campaign committee has It's hands
tied for lack of money. The story
was promptly started this year.
and every newspaper man who calls

is filled up with it. 1t is quite As
true this year as it ever was. The
committee has had more money
than it could legitimateIy Use. and

cause it has no money and can gc,

making deals which involve til.

money illcgitimately.

''Thc above Is an unintcntional
compliment to the Wilson tariff
law. Such reports are coming from
every quarter, and this condition is
certain to improve with time. If
the November election was six
months off instead Of three weeks
the Democrats would have over Il
hundred ma jority in the next con-
gress. -1ndepcndent.
WE are not calamity howlcr
and when We see signs of local
prosperity we are not afraid to
mention the fact, but if our cs-
tcc1ncd friend across the street will
take the trouble to inquire among
our merchants he will find that
business is picking up only among
those who advertise in the columns
of the JOURNAL, but otherwise It is
the same old cry of hard times that
were here when the Independent
was the only local advertising me-
dium. The moral of this little les
son is, if you want to do business
in hard times advertise in the
JOURNAL.
As for Il general revival of bust
ness having been brought about by
the Wilson tariff bill, we deny, and
would call our friends attention to
the daily market reports. They
do not verify the Democratic claim
that business is on the boom. Wheat
is still lowering around 10 cents:
the price of lead is still at its low
est ebb; there is no market at all
for barytes, one of this county S
chief commodities: live stock is
bringing extremely low prices, and
one of our citizens recently took a
car load Of hogs to st. Louis and
found no market for them at all.
What little business revival there
is, has sprung up with the hope
that the Republicans will have a
majority in the next congress.

If Congressman Wilson's Lon
don speech is to be taken seriously.
and we have no doubt that he in
tended it should be, he has ''lct
the cat out of the bag" and out
lined the policy that the Democratic
party will adopt in the future.
The object is to tear down the wall
we have built to protect our home
industries and bring the American
laborcr down to the same level
with the forcign laborcr, stamp
out his boasted independence and
thoroughly subjugate him. When
the masses are brought under
thorough control. the Democratic
party will proceed to tear down
our Republican institutions and set
up Il form Of government that will
pcrpctuatc the party in power.

that no change should be made i,
the sugar schedule Of the tariff Law
at the coming short session of con
! greSs. Surely MIR. Stevenson mus
have confoundcd the sugar trus'
with the Democratic party when he
spoke Of its having gone all tc
pieces. The statement would have
been true if it had referred to the
Democratic party, but it isn't true
Of the trust, as sugar consumers
twill discover when the have to pay
the higher price for sugar, which
will be within thirty days from
election day. Just keep your eye
on the price Of sugar and see if you
don't find this assertion strictly
true.
Another Democratic reform was
this week semi i-otiicially announced
by those connected with the admin
istration. 1t is that excellent pol
icy inaug,rated by the Republicans,
of detailing army officers to serve
as Indian agents, is to be abolished
and the positions to be filed by the
appointment of politicians. The
alleged reason given is that the
army officers are needed in the
army. The real reason is that Iu-
crative places may be found for Il
few more Democrats. This matter
will probably bring about some
lively talk in congress, which will
not see the step taken to set aside
its act providing g for the detail of
army officers for this duty without
some stirring protests.
Much has been said by Demo-
crats about the great reductions in
salaries paid by the government
which were made by the Demo-
cratic congress. According to the
book of congressional appropria-
tlons, an official publication, COM
piled by the clerks Of the House
and Senate committees on appro-
preparations. the number of sala-
rlcs reduced by congress was 50,
the annual saving being $26,SO0,
while the number of salaries III
creased was IL, the annual increase
being S333, Al. 1t is Il very simple
matter to deduct the amount of re-
duction from the amount of increase
and the result will show that the
net increase in the amount appro-
priated for salaries, of government
employees by the alice economic
al Democratic congress, was S6. 941.
This is small matter of itself, but
it is important because it shows up
the faIsity Of the Democratic claim
OF having reduced official salaries,
and teaches people not to accept
Democratic claims except when
the are supported by unprcjudiccd
proof, and those masic at this stage
OF Il campaign are seldom in that
class.

The effects of that Legislative
monstrosity, the tinkcred tariff,
are gradually coming to light.
The tin plate industry has been
ruined, the exports Of farm pro-
ducc to South America under the
reciprocity treaties stopped, and
now commercial war with Ger
many. because of the di5crimina-
ton against that country in the
Trusts sugar schedule, seems incv-
table.
The trust stipulated that a duty
Of onc-tenth of one per cent should
be imposed on sugar coming from
countries that pay an export
bounty. Germany is the only
country which will he affected by
this provision and Germany, is,
therefore, Justly angry. She pro
poses to retaliate by raising the
duty on American grain, thus clos
ing the German market to the
chief article of export from the
United States. Other rcprisaIs
and coumtcr-rcprisals will follow
until there will be nothing left of
the trade between the two countries.
Thus are the worlds markets
thrown open by the destruction of
the American protective system.

 PORTLAND, Sept. 18,-An information with interrogatories and an order of court made by Judge Stearns were served on nun Der of banks in this city today by District Attorney Hume, ap- bearing for the state of Oregon. The information purporss to be issued by directions of Governor Pennoyer. It alleges that the banks for the past seven years have received divers and sundry deposits, the depositors of which have died intestate in this state, and that said deposits are in the custody of the banks; that the deposits have es- cheated to the state of Oregon, and that in order to recover said escheated prop erty, it is necessary to institute ac- tions at law. Governor Pennoyer today said:
 "The instructions given by me to the district attorney to file bill of discov- cry requiring bank officers to answer certain interrogatories I was compelled by law to give, and no interference will be allowed in regard to the matter. Ii the courts issue definite orders and the bank officers disregard them, they must be punished for contempt of court; and, if there is no law sufficient to compel the answer, I will ask the next legisla- ture to enact one. If, however, the courts tride with the law by not stipu- lating definite and limited time, will ask the next legislature to remove the recalcitrant jud1&s from office. The law must be enforced. The banks may run the Federal government, but l do not propose that they will run the state of Oregon so long as am governor"
 It is understood that twenty-seven banks in this district have been served with notice and others throughout the state will receive similar notice.

A GhastIy Accumulation in the Cor

 The ex-officio coroners of Ph9nix precinct are annoyed by accumulations of the personal effects of dead men, and it seems, in cases in which the property is not sufficient to warrant the appointment of an administrator, the law makes no provision for their dispo- sition. If it is in the shape of money or other valuahles of email bulk it is received by the county treasurer.
 Within the past year there have been many sudden deaths. The belongings of the deceased have consisted of cloth ing, trunks. valises, cam ping outfits and almost every thing else in the way of portable property. except money.
 These goods h9ve been stored 5y the coroners in their offices and elsewhere, hoping that sometime somebody would turn up with g just claim to their pos session. for there is no other WAY by which they can get rid of them.
 The goods are not only cum bersome, but constantly present unpleasant sug- gestions. Here are the panniers and packEaddle of man who was found rotting on the desert. How he came to his death no one knows. There is bundle of clothing which belonged to suicide, and in the corner stands the trunk of a man who died at the point of knife or pistol.
