UOOLUf CO. oe, )M NorUi Pijor bt WASHINGTON LETTER. From our Regular Correspondent The Alger-Pinirree muddle has been'thickened ly Alger'8 positive denial that he had made n deal with Pingree and saying that Pingieeliad mere ly offered to support his can didaey for the Senate be- ' ' m a' ' f Cause or his tJislikfi roi; Ale- Mil la u. Later Alger xlenied that. This sort of thing is regarded by nomeas indica ting the truth of the story told in Washington a few days ago alleging that Mr. Mi-Kinley intended to sup port Alger and oppose Sena tor McMillan, but others many others regard n as .i a . nothing more than frantic efforts of Alger to retiin his hold on the 'War portfolio. The best informed men in po litical circles regard a brejtk in Mr. McKinley's Cabinet as inevitable. It may not be Alger, however, who will go out. It is well known that . the', relations between Secretaries 0 age and Alger, neer very cordial, have al most reached the fighting stage, and not believed that nil of Mr. McKinlev'e admit ted knack of mollification can succeed in keeping two men so antagonistic to each oth er in his official family. Secre tary Hage would have resign ed last winter if the powerful financial interests he repre sents had not insisted on his remaining in the Cabinet. He has never entirely forgiven Mr. McKinley for not. recom mending the financial legisla Hon be advised in his annual report, instead of merely com mending the report to the consideration of Congress. Mr. Gage considers himself the only financier and regards Mr. McKinly and the other members ol the Uimnet as timid amateurs. Mr. McKin ley wishes Secretary Gage to remain in the Cabinet until after the Presidential elec tion, anyway, because h c knows that, if he retires be fore then, it will bring about a material reduction in the republican campaign fund. . The highest rank held du ring the civil war by Hon. D. B. Henderson was Colonel. But ever since his election as Speaker of the House became a certainty, he has been con- stantly referred to as "Gen eral," and when he came to Washington several days a go on a pationage round up which, by the way, was one of the most successful made by any individual under the present administration, he found that all the officials from Mr. McKinley down rec ognized his promotion; also that some of the members of the House were ready to give him a divine title, if he would only agree to give them the committee assignments they hankered after. Col. Hender lit a son surprised t n o 8 e wno stuff, by exhibiting hii sore ness, because ex-Czar Reed had not congratulated him on the success of his Speaker ship campaign. . - Gen. Joe Wheeler, who will sail Irom San Francisco for Manila, on the 30th inpt., says he will not: resign h i 8 seat in Congress - because - he expects to be back by Decern ber. Here's a brand new phnje of the expansion question; Bishop Grant, of the A. M. E. Church (negro) is in Wash ington ndvocntingthe annex ntion of Liberia by the Uni ted States. He told Mr. Mc Kinley that since he had ex panded into Asia, we might also take a slice of Africa, but some how this Liberia idea doesn't seem to enthuse thoexpnnsionisis. They think it all right to annex the sad dle colored man, but draw the line on the black man. T!in1 Hon. John H. McLean was being pushed forward by his friends as a candidate for the democraticnomination tor ti ivernor or unm, n a s been apparent for s t; v e r a I weeks, but it was not posi tively known whether it was being done wit h or without Mr. McLean's consent, until he authorized the publica tion of the following state ment as to his position: 'l have not saught the nomina tion and do not regard my self as entitled to demand it; but I have friends who have urged my name in this con nection. and 1 a:n ov no means indifferent. On t h contrary, I would regard the nomination as a very high honor, and if it is tendered me, of course, I will accept, and regard myself as obligee to make the strongest fight I can for the party. I do not think anv Ohio democrat could afford to refuse such distinction." Mr. McLean thinks existing conditions in Ohio gives thedetrocrats the best chance they have had for some time to elect a Gov ernor, and no man has bet ter facilities than he has though the numerous corres poridents of his paper, the Cincinnati Enquire, to know the exact conditions in every part of the state. A demo era tic victory in Ohio thi year would make a corking good starter for the Presi dential campaign. Ke p rese ti t a t i v e E pes o f Va . heartily endorses the sugges tion made in a Washington paper, that Senator Martin be made Chairman of theDem ocratic National Committee, if Senator Jones' health should prevent his retaining the position. Said Air. Epes: "Without disparagement to any man, I want to say that Senator Martin has pre-eminent qualifications for the placp. He is one of the wisest managers in the whole field of American politics to-day, and if he can be prevailed up on to act as National Chair man, the party will have the benefit of an experienced und segacious counselor who can be depended upon to make no mistake in the momen tous campaign before us." Governor Roosevelt js nowJ posing as a military expert. He says that , Mr. McKinley sent for hiin to consult him in that capacity conrerning the officers and organization of tho new legiments which are to. be immediately iccruit ed.fortbe Philippines. It is more likely that Roosevelt's errand in Washington was a political one of some sort. Negroes Destiny In the South. News and Observer. Every now and then some body gets up a patent plan y vhich the race problem is to be settled by moving all he negroes to some state or territory, or, latterly, oy sending them to Cuba, Ha waii, or the Philippine Is. ands. It is the vision of a dreamer. The( negro is in the. South almost asnrnjLv as Mount Mitchell. There will be some emigration, out i n e muss of the race will live and die here in the South, mde- lendent of whether it is best or them or for the whites. The leading negroes begin to realize this. Dr. J. E. Shep herd, a Durham colored man, in 'answer to the question, 'What are your views of the gr o w i n g i n c rea se o t m o b 1 a w ? is quoted by the Colored A merican as saying: "Lnching cannot be too severely condemned. When a man is really guilty or n crime and his case'passediup on bv a iury of his peers he should receive the most, spee dy puuistuneut totheutmost penalty. The negro must look to the future. Our destiny is with the South and her peo pie and their interest must lie ours. The intelligent part of both races must act to gether, e must lecognize this fact and make friends with those amorg whom we live. I am very hopeful and I helieve that the negro will re ally be taken for, what he is, peaceful, kind and indnstri ous." Dr. Shepherd also said that "McKinley's election depends upon the negro vote in the doubt ul states.." In '9G Bry an got a large majority o the white vote, McKinley ow ing his success in the pivota states to the negro vote He will get it again, but if the tremendous protest against imneiinlism makes itself felt in 1900. he will find that Af rica cannot save him. Pointed Paragraphs. No man ever lived who im proved half his opportuni ties. The lonuacious indvidua relies more on sound than sense. An egg will settle coffee but, it takes money to setth for the egg. The man who stakes h i monev on a maid always a miss-take. All men are born equal but it does't take some men long to outgrow it. In the spring, nature turns over a new leaf, and in the fall, she paints it red. When the vacations are ta ken bv one side of the house only, marriage is a failure. The man who gives with out making a" sacrifice gets rid ol things he has no use for. This is the season of the year that man declares that no weather can ever come too cool for him. "I have used Chamberlains Cough Remedy in my family for years and always w i t good results." says Mr. W li. Cooper, of El Rio, Ca "For small children we find it especially effective."

If the further formation : of trusts should have the effect of doing away with nearly all the commercial travelers of the United states the injury dono would not be confined to the drummers," said Mr. L. Markham, of Philadel phia ntChamberlin s. "The oss of their jobs would, to a 1 i be-tstne, be more Keenly reic by themselves, and yet a great many other interests would suffer if the knights of he grip were to fade from lublic view, lheir patron age of the railroads of the ountry moans in the aggre gate a vast sum of money to the transportation compa- nies, una there isn i a rail road of any importance in the United States that, would not fel their retirement as a low to the passenger traf fic. Their extinction would mean even more to the hotel )eop1e." "I know of dozens ofhotels in the west that flourish by reason of entertaining drum mers, and that could searce- y live if deprived of this rade. Now, if the hotels are iurt, it stands to reason that the merchants who supply them with groceries the butch . I 1 1 ers, t lie uairvmen, ice dealers and a long train of others, will feel the udverse effects o the withdrawal of perhaps 150,000 men who traveled constantly and helped circu- ate money rom one end of this nation to the other." Persons troubled with diar rhoea will be interested in thfc experience of Mr. W. M. Rush erk ol Hotel Dorrence. 1'rov idence. R. I. He says: "For several years I have been al most a constant sufferer from diarrhoea, the frequent at tacks completely prostrating me and rendering me unfit for my duties as clerk at this hotel. About two years ago a traveling salesman kiudlv gave me a small bottle of Chamberlain s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. Much to uiv surprise and delight its effects were immediate Whenever I felt symptoms of the .disease I would rortify nivselr against the attack with a few doses of this valu able remedy. The result has been very satisfactory and al most, complete relief from the affliction.

Ono wuy nhornetshow8hi88marfc ness is by attending to, his own busines, and makes ev erybody who interferes wfth him wish they had done the same thing. ''When a hornet stings a fellow he knows it and never stops talking'nbout itaslong' as his friends will listen to him. One day a hornet stung mj pa (my pa ie a preacher) on the nose, and he did not do any pastoral visiting -for a mouth without talking a bout that hornet. "Another way a hornet shows his 8martnes8isby not procrastinating. If he bus any business witn you he will attend to it at oncce, and then leave you to think it over to yourslf. Hedoesn't do like the mosquito, who comes fooling around for half an hour singing "cousin cous in," and then when he has bled you all he can, dash a- way yelling "no kin." A Hor net never bleeds you; but if he sticks you, you will go off on a swell.

Epworth Herald. The concentrated wealthof this section of the country has in its employ the great mass of voters, and while they are nominally tree to do as they please about t h e i r own business, it is an essen tial part of their "business" to vote as their employers dictate, and to thus continue in power those men who will do the plutocrat's bidding in national, state, county and municipal afiairs.
