WASHING ION LlJTi'Eii. t [From pur regular Corespondent.] Washington. March 29, 1897 Although all ths republicans in the house promptly lined up to vote down Representative Dockery’s veiy fair anti-trust amendment to the McKinley tariff bill No. 2 t hat is being rai roaded through the house, provided that when ever it should be shown to the satisfaction of the president hat there existed a trust or combination to control the price of any article on the dutible list, the dntv on such article should be suspend'd only one of them has had the nerve to stand up and openly defend the trust-. Representative Walker of Massachusetts, is the man who was not only willing to vote for the trusts but to talk for them. He told the house that the great trusts reduced the cost, of production, which w’as true, but when he added that they also reduced the prices to the consumer he entered the realm of fiction. He said that trusts were the natural outcome of higher civilization, and predicted that all the railroads would eventually be controlled by one. An attempt is being made by the democrats to get the time for debate on the laritf bill extended, but it is hopeless. Tne edict has- gone forth that it shall be passed by the house on Wednesday and as the votes are controlled by Czar Reed, it will be In no business conducted by private individuals is the government of the United States so directly concerned as in the solicitmg-of patents. When an ignorant client gels the worst of his dealing with an unscrupulous and

tricky patent solicitor he is apt to re gard the U. 8, patent office us having had a share in the business. Kuowin this, intelligent men in congress are always on the alert to head off when possible the tricky schemas resorted to by some men who call themselves solicitors of patents. One of these schemes is struck at by the bill intro dueed by Senator Hansbrough, making it unlawful for any solicitor of patents to offer,an inventor a premium or prize as an inducement to him to pay his fee to enter his invention in a so-called competition. Every member of the new executive committee of the National Association of Democratic Clubs, appointed by President Chauncy F. Black and directed to meet in Washington, April 12, for organization and a discussion of the programme to be carried out by the "clubs, was a supporter of the Chicago platform and of Bryan and Sewall. They were chosen for that reason and the members of the old executive committee who refused to support the party ticket and platform last year, were

dropped for the same reason. The association is a strict party organization slid will not recognize holler in any way. The following is the entire ex ectitive committee: Centon McMillen, Tenn; G. H. Lambert. N J ; 1). C, . Smite, N. C.; C. C. Richards, Utah; b J. R. McLean, Ohio. E. E Howell, Gi ; 11. I). Money. Miss.; J. C. Daiiltnan, Nebr ; S. M. White, Cal; E. Murphy, lr.,N Y ; L L. Jackson. Md ; J. L Mitchell. Wis ; C. J. Faulkner, W. Va.; W. J. Stone, Mo.; G. F Williams, Mass ; J. S Hogg, Texas, and J, C. Sibley, Pa. The following is the full toast to which Mj. Bryan will speak at the Washington celebration of Jefferson’s birthday: “Thomas Jefferson — We celebrate the anniversary of bis birth not in the spirit of idolatm, but from regard and reverence for bis political principles ” Representative “Champ” Clark of Missouri , brought down the house by his retort to the assertion of R presen lativo Bromwell that Jefferson stopped the coinage of silver and supported protection. Mr. Clark said: “That is an historic lie. It is on a par with the statement that Madison was a Federalist. The trouble is the histories are written by New England people. There will never be no truth in history unti' the yankees quit-writing history and the southern people begin.” ( Representative Dolliver trod on some sore toes when he said in reply to a republican charge that the democrats were trying to delay the tariff bill: ‘ On the contrary, we are very anxious to reach some of the schedules of this bill before the final vote is taken. .We

understand that there is an incipient revolt over there among some of the republican members from the prairie states who want lumber left on the free list.*’ Representative Griggs of Georgia, has offered a j >int resolution for the amendment of the constitution, so as to give congress the power to impose and collect an income tax. It is stated that at the request of ExSecretary Carlisle, Claud M. Johnson is to keep bis place as Chief of the Bureau of Engraving and Printing; for a time, as a reward for the work he did among the gold democrats in helping to carry Kentucky for McKinley. The republicans arts after Secretary' Bliss because he promoted a’brother of the late Gen. Hancock, who is a democrat, from a $1,400 to a $2,000 position in the pension office, — It should be made a matter of public knowledge that DeWitt’s Witch Hazel, Salve will speedily cure piles of the longest standing. It is the household favorite for burns, scalds, cuts, bruises of all kinds. W- H. Nachtrieb.

Americans are the most inventive people on earth. To them have been issued nearly 600,000 patents, or more than one-ttiird of all the patents issued in the world. No discovery of modern years have been of greater benefit to mankind than Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy, or has done more to relieve pain and suffering. J. W. Vaughn, of Oakton, Ky., says: “I have u-ed Chamberlain’s Colic,'Cholera and Diarrhoea Rem edy in my family for several years, and find it to be the best medicine I ever used for cramps in the stomach and bowels.” For sale by Smith & Callow. a What do you want for your ten cents?

PEOPLE OF THE DAY. The selection of General Grenville M. Dodge, as grand marshal of the big parade connected with the dedication of Grant’s monument in New York is a peculiarly tilting and appropriate ope. Grant knew Dodge, in peace as well as in war, and lie trusted and admin fl him in both. During the Vicksburg campaign Dodge enjoyed the most confidential relations with his commander. It was to Dodge that Grant trusted the protection GENERAL DODGE. of the exposed flank of his army, and when he resigned his commission at the close of the war General Granf placed his name first on the list of major generals of volriteers, to be given the same rank in the regular army. Os his civic achievements General Dodge is more proud, and justly so, than of his brilliant military career. As the chief engineer and constructor of ts e Pacific railroad he can well afford to rest on his laurels. After the war he continued to be Grant’s firm friend, and when the old hero died be became active in the movement to do honor to his memory. H' 1 was made vice president of the Grant Monument association and president of the Grant Birthday associ;tion. A New Admiral. Joseph N.

He saw service on the Pacific station and was an instructor at the Naval academy at the outbreak of the civil war. He speedily found a more active detail and participated in much of the hard fighting on water during 'the next four years. Since the war he has been assigned to many important details, but is probably best remembered as the commander of the flagship Chicago during the naval evolutions of the north Atlantic squadron in 1891. Chicago’s New Postmaster. Charles Ulysses Gordon, the newly appointed postmaster of Chicago, is perhaps the youngest of the Republican leaders who have come to the front since the beginning of the last presidential campaign.
