T '"V., .Democrat. Warn VOL. ix. 60NB,- W ATAUGA COUNTY, N. C TIIUllSDAY, AUGUST, 19, 1897 WASHINGTON LETTER, -from our Regular Correspondent. Theie are many opinions 08 tc why John Sherman should have returned to Washington and. taken charge of. the State Depart ment at this time. Some say that the old maniutends to makrt a fight to knock out the Hunna-McKinley plan of kicking him out or the Cabinet after the Ohio tlection; others that he has a scheme of his own to get even W t)i ktl;e administration for the treatment he has receiv ed by getting it into some new foreign complication, but the generally accepted idea is 1 hat he is in Washing ton solely lo enjoy bossing the State Department, a privilege that is denied hiir. when Mr. McKiidey and As sistant Secretary Day are in town. Mr. Sherman's virtual acknowledgement of his ig norance of the nature of the instructions given to Minis ter Sewall concerning Ha waii is proof of liow little he knows ot the important part ot the foreign policy ot- the administration. Mr. Day has had exclusive charge of all matters relating to Haw aii and Cuba. Mr. John W. Foster, the gentleman who .is credited with having written the in structions t o Ambassador Hay that were signed by Mr. Sherman, has returnea from his sealing mission to Eu rope. It says it was success ful; Prof. Elliott, ot the Smithsonian Institution, says it was a flat failure. Which of them is -right will tiot be known until after the international conference, which meets in Washington next October, shall have been held. The Spanish Minister has only to tip the wink to the Secretary of the Treasury to put all of the machinery of the United States Customs Service to work at tillibuster ' hunting. His latest was an allegation that arms were about to be shipped from Bridgeport, Conn., or there nbouts. to the Cubans. Special orders were at. once sent to all the olficers of the Customs Service in that n ainitv to turn themselves in to detectives to please the Soanish Minister. Of course every man has a riaht to have and express an opinion upon subjects before the public, and yet opinions may be expiessed in such a way as to make a man ap near to be gloating over the misfortune of something that he ODDoses, hich causes them to strike most people ns being in bad taste, or even worse. .To the latter class belong the publicly expressed opinion of Mr. Preston, Di rector of the United States Mint, on the decline in the price of silver. With the us ual gall of the know-it-all Mr. 1'ieston tells the public not only that be knew the ie dine in prices was coming but that he knew the decline is going to keep on until the price gets down to forty cents on ounce. The belief is irre talk represents his wishes rather than his knowledge on this subject. : Patent Office officials have testified in the disbarrment proceedings against John Wedderburn & Co., now go ing on. that practically one- half of the nearly 38UU ap plications for patentsfiled by Wedderburn & Co., during the past two years, have been for what was unpatent able, and that a large percen tage of the remainder, which contained devices that were patentable, were of such trif- ing nature that it wasprac- ically waiting money for their inventors to pay for ob taining the patent. They al so testified that either know ingly, or through lack of knowledge tha c should be a nart of the equipment of ev ery patent attorney, Wedder burn & Co., have sognt to se cure money, and often secur ed it, from these woulu-be in ventors as fees for applying for foreign patents and for advertising for sale these un patentable devices. Not a little joking hnvelol- lowed the naming of the new submarine torpedo boat, which a small party of om: ials went over to Baltimore to sec launched from the Co lumbian Iron ll'orks. "Ted dy" KooseveJt, who is al ways trying to do something out of the common, chris tened the boat "Plunger." The order just issued by Commissioner . Butterworth providing that all attorneys iracticing before the Patent Office shall be registered, ant prescribing the rules which must be complied with in or- er to get upon that register, is one of the most important ever issued by a Commission er of Patents, and reflects credit upon Mr. Butterworth oth as a lawyer and as an official. His laudable aim is o raise the tone of the pat ent bar, which has suffered in credit bv the toleration on he part of the Patent Office of loose practices on the part of a few of its members.

Chatham Record. . The Populist party pre sents a new "overshadow- in x" issue in nearly every campaign, and therefore we are riDt surprised to see Sen ator Marion Butler, in last week's issue of the Caucasian proclaim and announce a new one for the next cam paign At first the sub-Treasury scheme was the only plan of salvation the only certain remedy for the hard tims It was proclaimed far and wide that any man who dat ed to deny it was an enemy to the farmer. The Record was denounced by many of its old readers, because it did not advocate so visionary and impracticable a scheme. "Iveti the lamented Vance was regarded with suspicion ecaue he did not favor it. And now "none so poor to do reverence !. Next, the government own ership of railroads was pro 1 aimed as the complete cue for our political ills and that the best way of relieving our people fro-n debt wfis to buy nil the railroads. That hob- bv was ridden awhile and then "free silver" was pro claimed as an infallible rem edy, and people, were made to believe that with 'tre? sil ver" every man would be giv en all he wanted. And now even "free silver" is to Ptand aside for that which Senator Butler an nounces "the gicatvst issue of modem times" And this he says is "The government mutt own and operate all national monopolies in the interest ot the public, oi tht?se monopolies will own and operate the jrovernment in their own interest. Of course everbody who does not agree with Senator Butler must bo for the mo nopolies and aguinstthepeo plel Mr. Llnnej Is Developing Into a Kick Charlotte Observer The Washington " corres pondent of the New York World of Wednesday, speaks of Congressman Linney, of the eiffhth district of this State, as "a unique figure of the House." and after smuia some observations of his op position to the currency com mission, proposed by Presi dent McKinley, continues The North Carolinian fur ther remarked, going into the subject of the Speakers ap ointments: "Fifty four fchairmunships for the whole United States, and ten ot them given to New York For the entire West beyond the Mississippi three com paratively insigniticient chair manships, and Mr. Loud, of California, as chairman of the committee on postofficee and postroads.

A few days ago Durant consult ed a physician, who told him his suffering was not caused oy a felon, but perhaps there was a splinter next the bone and advised hot poultices. These were applied but no relief came. Thursday morning the fin- t . i .... . l ger pained almost ueyonu endurance, and, taking the poultice off, Durant was hor rified to see the head of a large worm of the variety known as wood-sawyer stick ing out of the finger. He ran to Cnot. MeClenirhan and taking hio knife, pulled out the worm, which was nearly mii im h Intio-nnd an inch in din meter. After more pou! Hcing Duiant pulled'nnothcv worm of the same sort outot his hand and immediately felt great relief. Durant is greatly alarmed. He has lost fifteen pounds in weight in the last three weeks and is confident that he has been ' hoodooed." The doc tor says he will get well. Co lumbia, S. 0., Dispatch. PROFESSIONAL. W. B.
