WASHDJGTOH LETTOL From our Regular Correnpondent, Washington. Aug. 31, 1891. The Blaine-Harrison business is be lieved to be nearing a crisis, and the prediction is made by shrewd observers that within the next sixty days one of them will announce that he will not accept the Presidential nomination of his party, if it be tendered to him. Mr. Harrison is decidedly averse to being that one, and his friend, Secre tary Foster, will visit Bar Harbor with in ten days for the purpose of trying to make Mr. Blaine take the position of "loyalty" towards his chief which Russel Harrison's newspapers have as signed to him, by writing a letter for publication over his own signature stating that he is not willing to become a candidate and that hs is for Harri son. One would suppose from the talk of the personal friends of these two men that the republican party was their personal property and that when they had decided what they wished to be done that party must sla vishly obey that decision. This sort of thing must be aggravating to self-respecting republicans, who must think it is high time for the party to go out of existence when it is confined in its choice of candidates to two men. Representative Herbert, of Ala bama, who is understood to be a can didate for the vacancy on tho Inter state Commerce Commission made by the death of Hon. W. L. Bragg, of the same State, is in town. Alabama has several other candidates for the vacancy, among them Judge Morrill and Col. Shorter. There are also lots of candidates from other states, includ ing ex Senator Reagan and Represen tative Culbertson, of Texas, and ex Congressman Hammond, of Georgia. The appointment will go, by law, to a democrat. Mr. Wanamakerhas a grand scheme to get something for nothing. He has sent a circular letter to all postmasters at county seats to visit all the postoffi ces in their counties, at their own ex pense, and report their condition to him. That's a case of cheek. There is a well founded suspicion that the State department, is trying to "pull the wool over the eyes of the colored brother with regard to the va cant position of U. S. Minister to Hayti. It is stated semi-ofticially that the department on account of circum stances which it deems inadvisable to make public, will not fill the vacancy for some time to come, but that the appointment will probably eventually go to a colored man. This is expect ed to quiet the colored voters until af ter the fall elections, when Mr. Blaine will carry out his intention of selecting a white man for the place, trusting to luck to bamboozle the negro voters with other half-way promises before the time comes to hold another ' elec tion. It is not certain, however, that this plan will succeed, as many of the more intelligent negroes are fully aware of what is going on, and if they can only agree upon any one of the many negro candidates for the place, it is impossible for them to compel his appointment before the fall elec tions are held. A smile crosses the face of the av erage naval officer when he hears any one speak of Secretary Tracy's efforts to have the mechanics in the navy yards appointed on their merits and not on their political "pulL" The fact of the matter is that naval officers gen erally take no stock in this alleged re form One of them said on the sub ject : "Bah ! it is simply nauseating to sensible people who know anything about the manner in which the best assignments in the navy are made, to be told that the mechanics in the na vy yards are to be appointed solely on their merits as developed by compet itive examinations. It is not probable that such a reform is really intended by the same authorities who, unless tney are wof ully ignorant, must know that it is the officers who know how to intrigue, and above all those who pos sess that mysterious something known as a political "pull" that receive all of the best assignments in the navy, and not the officers who have made the best records. This is true from the acting Admiral down, and until it is changed I shall be slow to credit the Secretary of the Navy with any sin cere reform intentions, no matter what orders he may issue." The admin'stration will have a bitter pill to swallow in recognizing the Con gressional party as the le jal govern ment of China, as it must now be. It should pnve a warning to the State department which should compel our ministers abroad to keep their finders out of the internal affairs of the coun tries they are accredited to. SEAL PIRATES FIRED UPON. Ths Ratilan Man of War Alrrt Capture) Canadian ftchonnar. Victoria, B. C, Sept. 1 The sealing schooner Geneva b-.is arrived here. She Is the flrat home of thoe venturesome schooner that made the Itumlan aide of the sea. Two day after reaching Ilnhrintf tea she ww ordered out by H. M. S.

The Teresa save the news that on Auk. 9 Captain Alexander Mc Lean, of the itlch, was ashore in two boats, when ten Huasian guards rushed on them over the wind, hills and started shooting with rifles. Onlr Captain McLean was struck. If is kneecap was smashed and his left hand hit. Then both schooners made off to their position, twelve miles from Copper island. The Russian man-of-war Alert, thirteen guns, the next day steamed out after the three schooners at full siwed. All of them put on every stitch of canvas, and for twelve miles there was a long ohase. Then the wind fell off and she came up to within a mile of the Lewis and fired a ball that smashed the bowsprit In halves and brought her to. The Iewis was taken in tow and rapidly disappeared.

Senator Wash burn, of Minnesota, who haa just returned from Europe, has expressed Limsolf quite freely in reference to the next presidential campaign. The senator eharacterisea the recent reports of Secretary Blaine's 111 health as a conspiracy to kill Mr. Blaine politically and physically. In reference to Mr. Blaine's candidacy for the presidency in 1892. Mr. Washburne said: "Harrison will not be candidate before the convention when he sees tbs uuani mous drift towards Bluine next spring. He will cordially support Blaine. I know that the en tiro northwest is for Bluine, and has been for years. I want to declare myself strongly for Blaine." Sherman and Frae Coinage. Pautdino, O., Aug. 88. In a campaign speech here Senator Sherman said that unlimited coinage of silver would rob the treasury of millions. Free coinage was impracticable. The experience of the world, the speaker aald, belies the state ment that free coinage will raise the price of silver to the ratio of gold. In no coun try in the world where tree coinage exists is sixteen ounces of silver equal to one ounce of gold. Free coinage would not give more money for our labor and prod ucts. The farmer would not be benefited with a cheaper dollar. It would make more dollars necessary for hU wants. Will It Be General Wells T New York. Auir. aa.

The Southern People Have Combined to Show The Great Natural Advantages of Soil And Climate in That Fart of Oar Union northern mancfactures invited to show what they have to sell. The fourteen Southern States, and New Mexico and Arizona, have joined in establishing in the city of Raleigh, the capital of North Carolina, a Per manent Exhibit of their products and resources. This effort is made under the direction of the several State cov emments. The location is an admir able one. The two principal railroad systems of the South pass through Raleigh. The Richmond & Danville has a traffic combination with the Pennsylvania Railroad ; and the Sea board Air Line has connected with it the Old Dominion Line and the Bay Line of steamships, making direct routes of travel between Raleigh and the northern cities. The Permanent Exhibit opens May 15th 1S91. From the 1st of October to the 1st of December, 1801, a creat Southern Exposition will be held. The Southern people fully understand that their section is peculiarly adapted to the production of frui's, vegetables and all agricultural crops ; and that north em states are the manufacturing sec tion of the Union. Therefore, northern manufactures and dealers in machinery and manu factured goods are invited to join with the South and show at the Southern Exposition the latest labor-savinji devi ces of every description. Y e are pleased to tee this willing ness on the part of the Southern people to join hands in real earnest. It shows that they are willing to have northern manufactures sell them goods. Every manufacturer in the North should avail himself of this invitation; it will not only pay directly, but it will show the Souhcrn people that the north ern manufacturers and dealers appreci ate their friendly disposition manifested, and ate ready to join with them in all industrial movements. Anotner feature will be an exhibit showing the advancement of the negroes, managed entirely by them selves. Each southern slate will have its special negro Commissioner who will preside over and have the control of the exhibit from his state. This exhibit will in itself draw thousands of people from all over the land, to learn of the progress made by this people which, less than a generation ago, were in slavery. Hon. Tno. T. Patrtnlt. the leader in industrial progress in the southern states, has been made Secretary, and has already established his headquart ers at Raleigh, X. C. His efforts for the past ten years, to bring about friendly business relations between the Notth and South, especially fit him for this work He was unanimously elect ed to the position by a convention of more than six hundred delegates ap pointed by the Governors of the sever al southern states, and Boards cf Trade and Chambers of Commerce of all large southern cities. Mr. Patrick is not only Secretary of the Southern Exposition, but is Com missioner of the Department of Infor mation of the Southern Inter-States Immigration Bureau. It is his special duty to furnish information about any southern subject. This is done through a system of co operation that has been inaugurated between Boards of Trade, Chambers of Commerce and Immigra tion Bureaus all over the the southern states. The way it is done is certainly a systematic arrangement. Any one desiring information should write to Mr. Patrick, at Raleigh, N. C. Mr. tew Saved tho life that is fighting against Consumption.

That's what the ETopnetors of Dr. Sage's Catarrh lemody say to every sufferer from Catarrh. And they mean it. Children Cry for Pitcher's Castor. a. Patrick has the letter printed and sent to various cities and towns, and the inquirer receives directly and authenti cally the information desired. This is all done without any cost to the in quirer j as the southern states have joined in sustaining this organization. The Bureau is managed by an Exe cutive Committee composed of one member from each state, who is elect ed by the delegates from his state ap pointed by the Governor. The Gen eral Manager is Gen. F. B. Chilton, of Texas. The permanent exhibit and the Southern Exposition are under the management of this Organization ; and as the Southern States are united in this understanding, we predict for it a good success.
