The River and Harbor Grab.

When so staunch republican
paper as the Chicago Journal sup
ports democratic president in Veto
ing bill passed by republican house,
there is little room to doubt that the
measure is superlatively bad. OF the
river and harbor bill, carrying appro-
priations aggregnting $S0000,000, the
Journal says:
at was generally expected that the
house would pass the riverand harbor
bill over the presidents veto, ana
that it has done SO by large major
ity simply emphasizes its lack of gem
uine patriotism. In this instance CON
gressional disapproyal adds TO the
honors OF Mr.. Cleveland. In its gem
eral tenor his veto is unanswerable.
The proposition to draw on the treas
ury for river and harbor appropri-
ations of unprecedent magnitude at
time when the expenditures are far
in excess of the revenues and no re-
lief is in sight, would be an insult To
the intelligence of a schoolboy. or
course there is no defense for 1t nor
is one seriously intended. The bill
is great big grab skillfully arranged
SO as to excite Il minimum Of oppo-
sition by letting every one in on the
deal. Ii illustrates one OF the great
weaknesses Of popular government,
for each of these congressman who
voted for it is pretty well assured
that he can make himself square
with his constituents by pointing to
their own little loot 1t were far bet
ter that every reasonable appropri-
alton should fail than that such de-
moralizing measure should become

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our regular correspondent

wAsHisoTos. d. c., June 8, 1896
Unless speaker Reed changes his
mind, and he isn't in the habit of
doing that, he will under no circum-
stances accept the nomination for
vice president. This does not mean
that he is sulking because GOV. Me-
Kinley will get the honor he sought
he has yet to learn how to sulk--
but that he hasn't the slightest desire
to fill the office Of vice president, To
any one III all familiar with public
affairs in Washington it is needless
to say that there is no comparison
from any point of view, between the
vice presidency, which carries nei-
ther influence nor power, and the
speakership of the house, which ear
ries more power and influence than
any office, except the presidency,
under our government And Mr..
Reed can be speaker as long rs he
wants q, and the republicans retain
control of the house.
Congress is making good progress
toward finishing up the appropriation
bills, and adjournment will certainly
come this week, as nothing else of
Importance is likely to be taken up
at this session. II may be early in the
week or it may be late, but it will be
before its close.
Strong reports were this week sub
mitted ~ both house and senate in
favor If the Nicaragua Canal bill.
1t is not the idea Of the friends Of
this bill to try to push it through at
the present session of congress, but
an effort will be made to pass it Mt
the short session. There is no doubt
of favorable action on the bill by the
senate, and its friends think it can
pass the house.

Gen. Fitz Lee was acting under or

country, which encourages growers
to hope for better things in the fu-
ture, saying:
"The death knell to free wool, its
Ubiquitous injustice to agriculture,
and its evil consequences, has been
sounded. Whoever receives the NOM
nation at st. Louis by the republican
convention for president, will be
elected, and that means higher prices
for your woods. II Hon. VIM. Nc
Kiniey, the wool-grower's friend, is
nominated, which seems more than
probable, 1t means a high protective
tariff on wool, and higher prices for
what agriculture produces. From
1891 to 1894, under protection, we only
averaged Of imported wool yearly
l33,647,Sl2 pounds, while under the
blighting and whitening influence OF
the German Wilson bill we imported
in 1895 248,989,2i8 pounds. In addi-
ton to this we also imported 20,OiS,l0o
pounds of shoddy, the equivalent Of
60OO0OO0 pounds of matchmaking
total Of 308,9S9,2l7 pounds OF wool re-
ceived from abroad in 1896"

for Cuba until congress was about to
adjourn, and that the reason for his
being sent there as u. s. consul gem
eral will not become apparent until
after congress is out Of the way.
That Mr.. Cleveland intends to
spring some sort Of surprise on the
country iu connection with Cuba is
believed by some Of the shrewdest
men in Washington, but he has kept
his secret well, and its nature can
only be guessed at. 1t is thought to
have been indicated when Senator
Morgan recently pointed out the
danger to this country Of the presi-
dent assuming the authority to de-
eide questions which may lead to
war without referring them to con-
gress, and also in Mr.. Cleveland's in
teryiew with a subcommittee of the
senate committee on foreign relations
when he intimated that he would
rather recognize the absolute indie
pendence of Cuba than to recognize
the insurgents as belligerents. What
ever Mr.. Cleveland intends doing it
Is probable that he will wait until
just before the meeting Of the Chi
cago convention to do it. The GER
tainty that the silver democrats will
control that convention has not
shaken his third-term aspirations,
nor his belief that he can so manipu-
late things as to capture the nomin-
alton for himself.
The nomination of pronounced
silver man to be postmaster at Rome,
Ga, is taken to mean that Mr.. Cleye-
land regards Hoke Smiths fight
against the silver democrats in that
state as already as good as lost. The
nomination was on the presidents
desk for several weeks before being
sent to the senate, land 1t was re-
ported that Mr.. Cleveland told the
Georgia senators that he would not
nominate a silver man for the place,
and that he was informed that the
nomination of man who was OPP
posed to silver would not be con-
firmed by the senate. Perhaps Mr..
Cleveland has made his mind to try
to come to terms with the silver
democrats, since Hoke Smith got
back and told him that Georgia was
going for silver.

The Great Alba Haywood.
At Mineral Point, June i2th--For Benefit Of the
Public Library.

Our library directors have so in
variably met the highest expect
atoms in whatever they have under
taken, that mere announcement of
on entertainment under their aus
pieces is sufficient to guarantee its
merit. But in addition, Alba Hey
wood and his assistants come un-
questionably vouched for as furnish
ing entertainments Of unusually high
standard. From many endorsements
at hand we quote the following:
The elite Of Hutchinson We're out
enmass last Monday night to witness
the entertainment given by the Hey
wood company. No little had been
said in reference to the character of
the company, its celebrities in music
and impersonations, etc. Everyone
attending expected to see something
little beyond anything ever given
in the opera house of its character
That this expectation was gratified,
goes without saying. Alba Haywood,
with his wonderful representations,
kept the house in Il continuous up
roar every time he appeared. As an
impersonator and fun factory he has
never been xcelled.-Hutchison

Alba Haywood is Artemus Wards
ideal "Amusin Cuss." His imperson-
ations are given with an originality
peculiar to himself. His humorisms
are not stale, and Mr.. Haywood will
long remain Americas popular inn
personator.-Port Huron, tMich.l

Dewey Haywood, flute soloist,

playing. 1t has never been our good
