WA8HINQT0H LETTER.
(From our Regular Correspondent.)
Washington, Nov. 21, 1890.
Mr. Harrison and Mr. Blaine oau
not oontinuo their piosont rotations
much longer, unless thero is a radioal
ohango of mindon tho part of ono of
thorn. That becomes plainer and
plainer every day to thoso familiar
with tho inslBo workings of tho admin
btration. Mr. Harrison has finished
his message, and it ha boon shown to
every member of tho cabnet, except
Mr. Blaine. Tho reason for this
action on tho part of Mr. Harrison is
that ho has cone direotly contrary to
tho viows of Mr. Blaine, on at least
two important matters dealt with by
the.mossago, and ho has delayed show
ing tbe message to Mr. Blaine, fearing
that it might cause an open row be
tween them. Of coarso it will havo
to be shown to Secretary of Stato be
fore Congress meets but thero will be
no trouble, bo far as Mr. Blaine is con
cerned. Ho made up his mind when
tho McKinlov bill became a law that
tho republican patty was doomed, and
foundation in faot for any of those
roasons. Tho only proper way to ro-
movo tho marked ballot fcaturo of tho
constitution is by moans of a constitut
ional convention, and this also can bo
provided for.
Between tho opening of tho legisla
tive session and tho spring election
thero will bo nearly six woeks. This
will bt- plenty of time in whioh to pass
a ballot reform law and provide for tho
nescmblitiir of a constitutional conven
tion. This quoetton can bo voted for
at tho February election, and as tholr
is no doubt of its being adopted by a
largo majority tho dolegitos to tho con
stitutional convention oan bo elected at
tho samo time, as was tho oaso in 1872,
when tho question of amonding tho
constitution was voted upon at tho
samo election at whioh tho delegates to
tho constitutional convontion wcro
eleoted. Thero will then bo plonty of
timo tor tho convention to raeot and
amend the constitution by removing tho
marked ballot olauso so that tho
amendment oan bo voted upon by tho
pooplo at a cenoral election next No
vember.
Thero is no doubt of the fact that
tho people genorally favor tho adoption
of a secret ballot law. Thoy want it
to bo enacted as Boon as possible and
aro not in favor of waiting five years
for it, as would havo to be done if an
attempt wero made to amend tho con
stitution by having the amendment
adopted by two suooessivo legislatures
and then votod upon by tho people
Tho simplest way is always tho best
way, and in this oaso tho simplest way
is to call a constitutional convontion.
Lot the legislature heed tho wishes of
tho people.

MOT0HLEB FOE SPEAKER.
PENNSYLVANIA DEMOCRAT WHO
VEItV FAVORABLY MENTIONED.
IS
since that timo ho has not bothered his
head with matters outsido of his hobby,
reciprocity.
The leaders of his party havo nearly
all turned to him as the Mosc3 to lead
them out of tho wilderness, and that
is what is so galling to Mr. Harrison,
who wants vindication in tho shape of
a renoraination; but ono of Mr. Blaino's
warmest and closest personal friends
told me that unless thero should oorao
a Croat change in tho prospects of th?
republican party before 1892, air.
Blaine would under no circumstances
aocept tho nomination. Ono defeat
being qulto enough for him.
Unless a prominent Government of
ficial is off' in his predictions, thoro
will bo a vacancy in the office of Com
missioner of Pensions between this and
January, Mr. Harrison having fully
deoidod that Itaum shall go.
Tho Congressional lamo ducks among
the republicans are all trying to pick
out something undor tbii Government
that will enablo them to keep hold of
tho public teat aftor tho 4th of next
Maroh, but it will bo a difficult matter
to provide for ovon a small number of
them.
One of tho prinoipal occupations of
the republican loaders j nst now is stiff
ening np the political baokbonos of the
small-fry Congressmen as they get in.
About three out of four of them want
to reviso the MoKinley tariff law at
tho coming session. That, tho leaders
are determined to prevent if possible.
Several of tho candidates for Speak
or of the next House havo opened
headquartors hero, but there aro not
enough ot tho members-elect of the
Fifty-second Congress yet hero to
make anything like a lively contest.
But they will all be hero a little later,
, as an extra session is believed to be
almost certain, which will mako it
neoessarry to eleot tho Speaker about
nino months earlier than if thero was
no meeting until December next.
Tho Farmers Alliance and its future
movements is much discussed by re
turning Congressmen, and many of
them believe that a consolidation of it
and the labor organization's will take
place before the next Presidential cam
paign. The republicans fear tho or
ganization most, beoause it antagonizes
tho principles of that party most.
With two or three exceptions any I Mrs-
good democrat could support tho plat
form of the alliance.
Tho fight for free and unlimited sil
ver coinage is to be renewed aa Boon
u Congress meets and a powerfnl
weapon, in tho appointment of a suc
cessor to Chairman Conger, of tho
Honso committeo on Coinage, Weight
and Measures who resigned to go to
Brazil as U. S. minister, is in the hands
of Speaker Reed. Mr. Reed is one of the
bitterest opponents of free ooinago, in
the Houso, but for all that it is not cer
tain, although it is probable, that ho
will put an anti-silver man at the head
of that committee. Tbe committee is
said to be now evenly divided on the
question, bo that in deciding upon the
new member of tho committee, Speak
er Reed will really dooide whether tho
committeo shall report a free ooinago
bill-
Speaking of Mr. Reed, the republi
e cans are very much worried because '
certain democrats havo determined that
a demooratio committeo of the next
House shall investigate the mothoda by
which be was elected. There is no
contest nor is thoro to be, but it is be
lieved that an investigation in that
district will show up a great deal of
lepublioau crookedness, and tho demo
crats proposo doing it.
Many democrats think tho republi
can Congressional apportionment bill
should bo opposed on the ground that
tho Census has not been oorreotly
taken. Of course, if the republicans
can keep a quorum of their own men on
the floor of the IIoubo no amount of
opposition oan prevent its paesago but
ft may not be amiss to show up cortain
things about Ceusus.
Washington Nov. 27 Tho latest
name mentioned in connection with
tho Speakership is that of William
Mutchler of Easton, Pa. Evory sec
tion of tho country has its oandidate
except the Eist. There are Mills,
MoMiltin, Crisp and Blount from tho
South; Hateb, Springer, Bynum,
Outhwaito and Wilson from tho North
and WeBt, but none except Mntshler
from the great Atlantio States. It is
trite, that Lockwood of Now York has
announced bis oanutdaoy, but overy
one treats it as. a joke and not to bo
seriously considered. lie is not a
member of tho presont Congress and
thoreforo thero is no one wbo takos his
candidacy in earnest.
Tho Eist, with its oreat financial in
terests, should bo entitled to tho office,
as the West now has the Presidency
and the "Bloody Shirt' is still being
waved too much for the South to get
tho l.onor without cost to the Demo
cratic party. Should the Eist combine
on Mutchler, as now seems probable,
he would be a formidable candidate as
ho would havo fifty-six votes to start
with.
Asido from this, Mr. Mutchler has
many friends, among all tho old mem
bers, as ho is very popular with them.
In overy way ho is adapted to tho po
sition. He is a good parliamentarian,
lovcl-headed and with a perfoct control
of his temper. His position on the
tariff is that of his party, and his selec
tion would give the business world a
guarantee that no rash measures would
become laws. Although Mr. Mutohler
has not announoed his candidacy, his
friends have taken the matter in band
and aro determined to secure his election.

reach the diseased portion of tho ear.
There is only one way to euro deafness
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed ooti
dition of the mucous lining of tho

sound for imported hearing, and when
it is entirely closrd, Deafness is tbe
result, and unless tho inflammation can
be taken out and this tube restored to
its normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed for ever; nine cases out of
ten are caused by catarrh, which 1b
