WASHINGTON LETTER From oar Regular Corespondent Mr. Harrison will return thin week if no mvident hap pens to the royal special up oi which his very much en larged the head) majesty is travelling, toanythingelse but a united official family. Secretaries Rlairteinid Foster have been unable 1o agree np n Behring sen matters and Mr. Blaine has also been at loggerheads with both At torney (leneral Miller and Secretary Tracy on the au thority of this Government to seize upon the open nea the ship Itata, which was re cently seized at San Diego, California, and went off with the United States Marshal on board, but allowed him to go ashore after gettin-r out side the harbor, a ml which is supposed to belong to the Chilian insurgents. Mr. Blaine contending that we have no right to interfere with the vessels unless she is inside the three mile limit, and Messrs. Tracy and Miller that we have a. right to eeize her wherever found. Mr. Blaine has not anded much to his attachment for Mr. Harrison since that gen tleman has been away for several reasons. He has used language, so I am informed by one of Mr. Blain.s friends, in telegraphing to Mr. Blaine, that meant precisely what the young Emperor of Ger many so undiploinn finally expressed recently by saying: "1 alone am master in this country," and ashe hasliever dared to takesuch a position in his personal contact with the Secretary of State it very naturally offended him that he should do so by wire. Then, as if to add insult to injury, can Russell Harrison's fool editorials in his newspa per about Mr. Blaine having bound himself before enter ing the vabinet to remain loyal to Mr. Harrison. Mr. Blaine finally became so dis gusted that he went to New York and left orders that everything that came to the State department was to be kept until Mr. Harrison re turned. "And when he does return' said my informant, "there will be a mighty interesting conversation between Blaine and Harrison that w ill either result in bringing Mr. Harri son down from hishigh horse, or in taking Mr. Blaine out of the Cabinet and making him the republican nominee for the Presidency, in fact it may result in both. Mr. Blaine is not the man to al low his dignity to be trifled with by nn.ybod.yu and hecer tainly does not propose to stand it from a man of Har rison's calibre." The cry of "British gold" has been used by the republi can party in the past with such good results that ex Senator Warner Miller pro poses using it to boom his Nicaragua Canal scheme, which is at present languish ing for lack of gold of any kind. lie came to Washing ton direct from nninspection of the canal, which as yet consists nf little luor than !.... . . i i i .surveyors stakes.

Secretary Tracy strong-! i l.v t'lldorses the scheme and says that we have either got to build the canal or build and maintain a seperate na vy for the Pacific. Nobody diyihts the desirability of having the canal, but it is not at all probably that the democratic House will be w illing to pledge the credit of this country in order to rili-e $100.('00.0()0. to be 'spent under the direction of a republican machine. When Mr. Miller and his associates came fcij'ongress to get the charter for 1 1 1 i company ihe statement was- made over and over that all the money needed to build the canal had been pledged by private parties; now, after having spent about one-twentieth of its estimated cost, the com pany is pri e t i c a 1 1 y at a stand-still for the lack of funds. The republican leaders here are grow ing uneasy over the news they are getting of the rapid growth of the Fanner's Alliance in Ohio. They know! that McKinley on .thigh pro tection platform will not be swallowed by the Alliance folks. Ex-Secrftarv Bayard is visiting friends in Washing- ton. lie declined to express his opinion o"T the job lot of foreign complications that Uncle Sam now has on hand. Senator Morgan thinks that Mr. Blaine in his last letter to Lord Salisbury on the Behring sea arbitration has at last got into just the right position. Considerable comment has been caused by the fact that Secret a ry Ft st er has gran t e I an agent of the sugar trust permission to visit all cus tom houses where imported sugar is received for the pur pose oflooking after the in terests of the trust in seeing that the assessment of du ties is uniform. The Secre tary claims that the inter ests of the Government and the sugar people are identi cal, but otln-isdo not see it in that light Big Blow in.; Monday evening a heavy wind and dust stom swept down the valley. The whole face of the heavens appeared a mass of moving dust. At North Wilkesboro two houses were blown over. Mr. A. M. Chrch's new house there at which he was at work, the roof and weather- boarding having been com pleted, wascompletely wreck ed and some of the workmen badly hurt. The other was Mr. A. A. Park's new house which was lifted from its base and car ried upon another lot. The damage is considerable. Chronicle. antlurn Opimilittn to the Third rail Contention. i i : .: . . : ' ol.

Mii.hi mnv..n.l tion for the several fai mersi and labor organizations was called for February '02. The members, of tluAUiance who reside principally in the West, and who want a third party, appear to faeor fie move ment for theCincinatM ci n ver.tion, while the Southern Alliance opposethethird par ty idea, no long as redress of grievances is possible within the -Democratic party, and are content to wait the ac tion of the next Democratic House o f Representatives. Many of the members of the Alliance in the West have been life-long Republicans, a a d are indisposed to unite w ith the Deino-ratic party, which in the main f ivors the meas ures th.-.v advocate, because of a mere sentiment. We a re gratified at the position ta ken by theSouthern Alliance. It shows thi't the latter are earnest, and will be governed by principles, believing that theDeniocratie party will aid 'U securing the legislation desired, and willing to give rlinr n.-irlv :i f :i ir ti-i:i 1 The lw,0Ilt-of ,, OTOiniz;:rTon into which so many conflict ing elements have entered has a very difficult office to perform. lie must see that with a divided counsel the ef fectiveness of the organiza tion will be greatly neutral ized; and his skill will be tax ed to the u i most to keep its strength intact in order to throw it whore it will be most effective. We under stand such to be the aim of the National Alliance, and to reconcile theSouthern and Western wings appear to be the ('.ifficulity. There is lit tle, if any, apprehension but that the Democratic party and the Southern wing of the Alliance will act conjointly in the election of a Democratic President, and if the Western wing will be governed by the same conservatism as our southern friends there will soon be a Democratic Presi dent and a Democratic Con gress, and then business will revive and times got better.

Senator Edmonds, in an in terview with a .SY.vr reporter at Washingtonsavshethinks the policy of his pattv in 18- will continue to be what it has been-- to maintain the McKinley tariff and pass a force bill a t the first opportu nity. He does not think the Democrats will be carried a. way with the free coinage i uea. As for the Farmers Alliance movement in protest !nirninst tho 1; 'isl;,tion (f lv" cent years, the Senator sees no just cause for it. "A large1 part, of it arises," he says sagely, "from intrinsic quali ties of thehuman mind." One of these 'intrinsic qualities," he thinks, is its liability to peirods o f "excitement." Storms come and go and no body, can tell exactly why. So of the farmers' movement. It is a species of metal rough weather that has blown down a good many republicans fen ces but there was no real rea son tor it and it will ultimate ly subside and leave things about as they were. One pos sible bad result of the Far mem' Alliance activity in 1H 92 may be he thinks, thefai! ureotany party to elect a i"ttv of-the vvhoU? flwto ral college, in which case the election of President and Vice President would fall to the Democratic House of Repre sentatives. That would be ve-y bad, no doubt in the Senator's opinion, put he suggest no remedy for it. Ilristol Courier.

On the course of thedei-io-crartic party in CongresswiIl depend largely whether the Alliance in the South will join in the third party movement. If (he I) e m o c rats do not show a decided disposition to give the farmers what they want nothing can keep the Southern Allianceinen in line with the party. On this point Colonel Polk speaks with a good deal of emphasis. The nomination of Mr. Cleveland on a plat form either ignoring or trad dliug the money question will, he is sure, make a third party a necessity. Atlanta, (in., Dispatch. A Sound and Safe Platform. The platform adopted by the democratic Stateconven tion, in this city last year, contains the essential princi ples of the Alliance, and such j;is are satisfactory to the ni(11"U(1,'s ot t,,e Aiemocratic l1ilrt.V w,,w d) not belong to Alliance. It was the te- nlt f calm, ilispawionnte consultation between the represenfatives of these two elements of democracy, and was agreed upon as just to both, and conservative of the best interest of theSiate. This platform is now the platform of the whole demo cratic party of North Caro lina. It is the latest official announcement of the politi cal principles the democratic party professes, and which it is pledged to advance. The w riter accepts it as his politi cal chart, because it empod ies the principles which the farmers and other business men of the State thought were sound and safe for the basis of our laws, and for guidance in the administra tion of the government, us stand upon this platform, and prove to other States that North Carolinians are governed by principles, and are not mere waifs upon the political sea. Noith Caroli na Intellineneer. Subsidy Here is a definiton of "sub sidy" which should go into the next, unabridged diction ary that is made. Says the Evensville, Ind., Courier: What the word 'subsidy" really means is this: To take money from the people, by arbitrary taxation and give it to n. few rich men to build steam ships with, so that they may get richerstill. The pretense that labor is to be benefited in any way by be ing taxed to death for the benefit of a few millionaires 1 is gloomy and too far fetched a tarce to amuse anybody, n i i a
