WASHINGTON KOTES.

Special to the .Chicago Daily News.

WASHINGTON, D. C., December 19.— Hugh J. Campbell, the moving spirit in the organization of the alleged "state" legislature in Dakota, is well known to the older politicians of this city. He is a native of Chambeisburg, Pa., which happens, by the way, to be the home of Aleck McClure, of the Philadelphia Times, whom Campbell is said to greatly resemble. Campbell removed to Iowa some time in the '50's. He enlisted as a private in xn Iowa regiment, and at the close of the war held a colonel's commission^ Later he carpet-bagged to Louisiana, where he became aisoci^d with Warmoth, Kellogg, PinchbaFk, Sypher, and others of That iik, whose political manipulations gave them the cohtrol of that state for a number of years. Campbell is a lawyer of very respectable ability, and a man of force and undoubted courage. Without this last qualification Campbell might have possessed the intellect of a Webster and not remained alive thirty days in New Orleans, for those were the times when a •'carpet-bagger" literally carried his life in his hands. It was Campbell's boast that he feared neither man nor the devil. His record in New Orleans proves this beyond a deubt. On one occasion, shortly after his election to the senate, a local politician named Deming grossly insulted Campbell as he passed through the lobby of the capitol in company with a lady friend. Campbell made no reply, and his action was mistaken for cowardic. A chorus of hisses and groans foi! wed him while he remained in sight. I't:'.lie sentiment in that city, and ef)"cially in those turbulent days, dtManded that every man should fight upon the slightest provoca-ti'-n. Not to do so meant soiial a :l political ostracism of such a nature ss left the victim no recourse but to leave the country for one where his offense was not known. Later that evening, while a group of politicians were idly chatting in the rotunda of the St. Charles hotel, Campbell entered, and approaching Deming, who was one of the party, struck hitn a powerful blow in the face, felling him instantly. A challenge lollowed, which Campbell promptly accepted. Both men filed simultaneously, but neither was hurt, Mutual friends interfered to prevent further hostilities, but Campnell claimed that he had come there to kill or to be killed, and refused to leave without further satisfaction. Upon the second fire Campbell's antagonist fell mortally wounded, while the former walked off without a scratch. Campbell has been mentioned as a member of the Louisiana returning board. This is not true. He is the author of the law creating the board, but beyond that had no further connection with it. When the democrats gained control of the state in 1877 Campbell came north, and at the solicitation of Senators Allison, Sherman, Qarfield and other of the "visiting statesmen" Hayes appointed him district attorney of Dakota territory. He is understood by his friends here to have been very successful in land and other speculations since taking up hiB residence in Dakota, and is probably worth $200,000. His scheme of organizing a legislature, rlecting senators, and demanding the admission of the territory iB what might be expected from a man of his bold, vigorous, and combative nature te

Congressman Payson, of Illinois, was telling me a good story the other day

about Jim McKenzie the very bright and witty Kentuckian who formerly represented the Padncab district in the house. A bill which McKenzie had introduced for, a public building at Paducah had been favorably reported by the committee. It was placed on the calendar, where, in all probability, it would remain forever, unless some extraordinary effort was made to bring it before the house. McKenzie tried repeatedly to catch the speaker's eye, but for some reason Kandall chose to ignore him. The end of the session was gradually drawing near, and McKenzie began to grow desperate. One day, while the regular order of business was. nnder consideration, McKenzie startled the house by rising to his feet and shouting: "Mr. Speaker! I rise to a question of the highest privilege." "The gentleman from Kentucky will state his question," answered Randall, turning in McKenzie's direction. "My question, sir, involves a matter of the highest privilege—the right of a member to. his seat." This rather nsational announcement drew upon him the attention of the entire house. The silence which followod was broken again by McKenzie, who continued: "I aak unanimous consent to take from the calendar house bill No. 14796 and pass it under a suspension of the rules." The calendar was hastily consulted, when it was discovered that house bill No. 14796 provided ior the erection of a public bnilding at Pakncah, Ky. Randall was furious with rage. "The gentleman from Kentuoky forgets himself," he began, when McKenzie with comical seriousness, interrupted him: "I epoke the plain, unvarnished truth when I said ths passage of that bill involved the right to my seat If I don't succeed in securing the necessary appropriation I need never expect to return to congress again." At this sally the house burst into abroad roar of laughter, whereupon Frank Hiscock, over on the republican side, begged that Mr. McKenzie's request be complied with, and that unanimous consent be given to pass the bill. There were no objections, and within sixty seconds McKenzie secured what he had waited for months to accomplish. It was he who said Hayes' administration wonld live in history for two reasons— weak vetoes and cold water at state dinners.

Two bunkb men were lurking in the shade cast by the trees at the east entrance to Willard's hotel last evening. Suddenly the dooi opened and a short, stontly built gentleman emerged and started at a brisk walk across the street. One of the "steerere," a well-dressed, gen tlemanly^ appearing person, approached, and seizing the stout man's hand, shook it eathuaiastical-

ly. "Why, Mr. Webster 1"- he exclaimed "when did come in from .Richmond?' There was peculiar smile about the corners of the stout man's mouth as he replied '1 gaess yon are mistaken, sir my name is not Webster." "Oh, I can't be mistaken. This is snrely my father's old friend, Henry Webster, is it not Again the stout man assured his interrogator he was in error. "The resemblance is very striking," continued the bunko-man, in a tone of well-feigned astonishment. "But have ydu any ob jection to telling me what your name really is?" "None in the least," retnrned the stont man, politely. "What is it, then "General P. H. Sheridan, of the United States army," but b. fore the words were fairly uttered the fellow took to his heels in hot haste, while Sheridan, chuckling softly to himself, pursued his walk down the avenue.

Secretary Bayard is one of the coldest and most unapproachable of men. He is likewise an inveterate talker. It is a tradition among Bayard's associates that once started on a pet subject he will talk for hours. The other night Mr. Bayard, Randolph Tucker and Joe Blackburn sqt down to dinner with Senator Gray, Mr. Bayard's successor from Delaware. Tucker tells what followed: "Bayard led off with some observations about the diplomatic and consular service. He talked steadily for an honr. Finally Blackburn saw an opening. He.sailed in and for the next hour we listened to Blackburn's observations on every matter of national interest, from a discussion of the silver question to the removal of the tax on distilled spirits. It was fearfnl. At last I moved adjournment, and cutting Blackburn short, notwithstanding his entreaties, I left the room. As I descended the steps Bayard linked his arm within mine and said he would accompany me as far as his residence. I wasn't feeling very goodnatured. To tell the truth, I "had a few observations of my own that I wanted to deliver, and I was mad with Bayard and Blackburh for not giving me a show. Suddenly Bayard broke the silence with the remark: 'Did you notice how Joe Blackburn monopolized the conversation to-night? me, if he isn't the most conceited man I ever saw.' Bayard spok6 with such seriousness that screamed with laughter. AV that mo-* ment I left him at his gate. I haven't seen him since, that he doesn't inquire what tickled me so. "JULES GOTHBIDGE."

UNCLE JOE'S CANVASS.

MoDonald Recommends Harry Francis Who Opposes His Election. Washington Special to the Indianapolis Times.

Harry Francis one day declared with emphasis that a democratic candidate for the legislature in Laporte county could only succeed by pledging himself against Mr. McDonald for United States senator. Mr. McDonald has a number of friends at many points throughout the country, and no where more than here, where his extraordinary course in the senate was observed. "The strong man ia^low to anger," and, in the language of on venerable friend Bill Holman, "altogether an easy going sort ol fellow," but the attitude of. Mr. Francis being revealed to some of Mr. Ale. Donald's admirers— those who imagine themselves holding his future in the hollow of their hands— they sulked in their tents and said one to another: "This Philistine from the Northland shall have nothing. What sort of rooster is this that comes here to belittle our Uncle Joseph?"

The outlook for- Mr. Francis was not flattering for several days, though he may never have made the discovery that his support was perfunctory. Thus the matter stood when Mr. McDonald himself arrived upon the ground. He was told what Mr. Francis had said. Washington is a telephone, and always talking. „What's Francis after?"he asked. When told, he asked again: "Is he competent After hearing a large and well-selected variety of opinion, Mr. McDonald continued "Francis is an impulsive voung man and frequently speaks, no doubt, without consulting his best judgment. He will think better of this course after awhile. If you are quite sure that he is competent for the office and that he will not abuse the trust, assist him to get it. I will give him every assistance that lays within the scope of my possibilities. We must urge the appointment of such men and anv such as will strengthen the democratic party, utterly regardless of whom they favor for the senate. The representative will be chosen for the senate not as a matter of personal favor, but for the purpose of strengthening the party. Itinst that you will neither be indifferent to nor oppose the claims of any. competent and deserving man because of nispereonal feeling in regard to myself. He may be for me without deserving office, and he may be against me and capable of rendering the country splendid service—such service as will do all of us large honor."

The gentleman who gave this information to me added the further information that Mr. McDonald is, of course, a candidate for the senate.

Three publishers have each of their subscribers photograph yearly and make them a present of a dozen photos, several give them free" burial, five invite them to dinner once a week and 261 give each a doctor's certificate."

Telegraph building in Brazil is a very troublesome business. The wires corrode very rapidly, and the luxurious vegetation requires constant pruning to keep it from growing so as to interfere. Violent storms often prostrate the lines. Birds build their notes on the tops of the poles and ants on their sides, while skunks and armadilloes undermine them and cause their sudden fall. The ants' nests have to be chopped off with axes when old and hard. Wasps build nests in the bellshaped porcelain insulators, apes meddle with the wires and enormous swarms of birds flying by night often wreck or tangle them. More mischievous than any of these is a huge spider that weaves its web between the wires and interferes with the electric currents.

The Silver Question in Germany. To the Editor of the New York San. My letters from England annotifftSSTthe return of Mr. H. H. Gibbs, of the Bank of England, from the conferences on the silver question with Prince Bismarck, to which, as I some time ago informed you, he was invited by the.German chancellor. He was treated with the greatest distinction and courtesy by the chancellor, and he preserves a discreet and commendable silence as to the tenor of their discussions. When you remember that Mr. Gibbs himself is an earnest bimetallism the significance of this reserve will be made evident to you, perhaps, by the following extract from the Berliner Bonen-Zeitung (Beilage No. 518), for Mr. Gibbs is also a patriotic Englishman. The secretary of the treasury will see that it is at least premature for us to legislate against silver on the theory that Germany will not act on the question "without the concurrence of Great Britain."

To strengthen the stomach, crcuto an appetite, and remove the horrible depression and despondency which result from Indigestion, there is nothing so effective as Ayer's Pills. These Pills contain no calomel or other poisonous drug, act directly on the digestive and nsini!)ntIvo organs, and restore health and strength to the entire system. T. P. Bonner, Chester, Pa., writes: "I have used Ayer's Tills for the past 30 years, and am satisfied I should not bave been alive to-day, if it had not been for them. They

Cured

"if

me of Dyspepsia when all other remedies tailed, and their occasional use has kept mo in a healthy condition ever since." L. N. Smith, Utioa, if. Y.„.writes: "I have used Ayer's Pills, for Liver troubles and Indigestion, a good many yews, and have always found them prompt and efficient in their action." Richard Norris, Lynn, Mass., writes: "After much suffer* Ing, I have been cured oi Dyspepsia and Liver troubles

By Using

Ayer's Tills. They have done mo more good than any other mcdicine I have ever taken."

J. ALBERT WILLIAMS, M. D.

Qradaate from two ot th»' leading medical oollegea in this country, attendant of the best hospitals 4, and Woman hospital, Mew York city late physician to the Detroit Head, Throat and Chest

institute, and Physioian to Diseases of Women, has opened a permanent office on Sixth street, opposite poetoffioe, Terre Haute, Ia., for the core of all the various diseases THBOAT, CHEST and diseases of WOMEN. In the treatment^* CATABRH, THBOAT DISEASES ASTHMA, BRONCHITIS, CONSUMPTION, and LOSS OF VOICE, we adopt the most improved system of medicated inhalation and other appliances whioh bring the remedies into direct contact with the organs diseased. It is oonceded by all learned physicians to be the only, system by which those disease* can be cured. It has eatahlisked their entire curabilitjr, and has rescued thousands from the grave. There ia a cure for any and all afflictions of tbe Throat ami Image-'* care that may be safely relied upon with all confidence and hope. It is reliable, certain, direct and permanent in its effects. Improvement is seen and felt from ihe first honr of treatment, I care not how mnoh yon are suffering. I wish it to be clearly understood that when I advocate inhalation as a method of treatment do net mean any one, two or a dwee

Mcific medicine. Inhalation rightfully applied most be thoroughly understood and medicine prepared for each individual case.

O.A.T.A.IRJRH

That early and dirgusting malady with itc multiplicity of eymptons: the sore throat enlarged or nleented tonsils, the remarkablo tendency to oontract a cold, hoarseness, hacking congh, hard and dry oongka, profuse expectoration, hawking, sucking and drawing down the palate. All this train ot evils is controlled by the new remedies without resorting to the barbarous practice of burning, blistering or stupifying the senses with opium.

I have tiie beet treetmeuttand appliances that ever came to this city. Testimonials at the office.
