FROM WASHINGTON.

An Interesting Batch of Xew» From the Capitol. From our Regular Correspondent. Washington, August 10. 1894. If the long continued deadlock between the Senate and the House on tariff legislation had involved any great principle on either side there would have been some disposition on the part of those who cared nothing for paiticuiar schedules but who wanted the disturbing matter settled in some way to condone the inexcusable delay of the conferees. But there isn't a man in Washington whose intelligence is a degree above idiocy who doesn't kno ”, what ever his prejudices or political leanings may have caused him to say, that no great principle was involved in this fight. On the contrary, it was merely a light to determine whether the democratic party as represented iu Congress should be bossed by President Cleveland or by Senator Gorman. That is the naked truth denuded of all fuss and feathers, and it isn't especially complimentary to any one cont ected with it.

It having been demonstrated that tiie followers of neither of these leaders would acknowledge the supremacy of the other the conferees have at last waked up to the demands of the country for a tariff bill of some sort and have reached an agreement, which will in due time be sub milted to House and Senate, if it isn't upset by one side or the 'other i.< fore the reports can be made. The agreement leaves the question of the supremacy o r Messrs Cleveland and Gorman a draw, but that doesn't interest the people. The important question now is. will tile Senate accept the agreement? If recent talk of Senators counted for anything one would be disposed to say that it would not, but the same power that brought about the agreement in conference the will of the people, without regard to politics - will probably make Senators think twice before casting a vote that would result in preventing tariff legislation, leaving the whole disturbing agitation to begin anew next winter.

“Congress would not adjourn I before the Im, of this month. I even if the tariff bill was finally 1 disposed of tomorrow,” said a| veteran Senator. When asked j upon what he based his positive! assertion, lie replied: “Human i nature and the river and harbor I bill.” To make this meaning! clear it is only necessary to say | that a majority in both House and Senate are interested in the appropriations made by the river and harbor bill, now in the hands of the President, and that ! President Cleveland is not pardial towards river and harbor bills, having vetoed one during , his first administration. Should i Congress adjourn before the 18. | President Cleveland could kill the river and harbor bill by a I “pocket vetoe” (not signing it, ) but should Congress remain in j session until that day the* bill ! will become a law. if not vetoed, whether the President signs it or not. There is logic in that, and unless the President signs the river and harbor bill before that date Congress will probably be in session on the 18 of August.

A bill was this week sent to Mr. Cleveland, having passed the House and the Senate, that, comes under the head of the better late than never laws. It provides that contractors for the construction of public buildings shall give ton! for the payment of labor and for materials furnished them. The only people to be inconvenienced by the new law will he the ‘“‘snide*’ contractors, who underbid honest mem inset Amg to get their i proflt oeahog their labor' and ;thote vho farrdsh them with ] material*.

It is well-known that no love is lost between President Cleveland and Senator Vest, of Mo., but it was not until ex-Gov, Francis, who is now in Washington, dropped a few words and let the cat out of the bag, that the idea got out that Gov. Francis is to be the Cleveland candidate for the seat now held in the Senate by Mr. Vest, and which he wants to keep. The understanding here is that the entire power of ihe administration is to be used to defeat Vest and elect Francis. Vest says lie asks nothing better than ih< open opposition of Mr. Cleveland.

The IIousi! Juiluuary committee has favorably reported a resolution, which was adopted without division, authorizing that committee to investigate the charges against Judge Ricks, of Ohio, whose impeachment lias been asked for by a number of petitions from labor organizations.

No one who is familiar with the scandalous lobbying that has been done at this session of Congress was surprised when Senator Allen this week introduced a bill to prevent professional lobbying, the penalty provided for violation of the proposed law being a tine of from 000 to $5,000 and imprisonment from one to five years. The bill defines a lobbyist to be a person who habitually attempts to inttuonce the legislative acts of Congress by soliciting members to support or oppose a measure. Such a law would doubtless prevent many future Congressional scandals, but it hasn’t one chance out of a possible hundred to get enacted. If Congressmen didn’t encourage the lobbyist there would be no lobbyists. They live and thrive on the friendship of Congressmen. Therefore Mr. Allen’s bill will not become a law.

- Many men think that newspaper men are persistent dunners. By way of comparison let us suppose that a farmer raises 1,000 bushels of wheat a year, and sells this to 1,000 persons in all parts of the country, a great portion of them saying: “I will hand you a dollar in a short time.” The farmer does not want to be thought small, and says all right. Soon the 1,000 bushels are gone but he has | nothing to show for it, and he | then realizes that he has fooled away his whole crop and its | value to him is due to him in a | thousand little driblets, consequently he is seriously embarrassed in his business, because I his debtors, each owing him one dollar, treat it as a small matter and think it would not help much. Continue this kind of business year in and year out as the publisher does, how long would he stand it? A moments thought will convince any one that the publisher has cause for i persistent dunning. The Nonconformist and the : People's Pilot from now until after the election, both for 35 cents. Can you beat that.

Death of John Waymire.

Word was received here last Friday of the death of Uncle John Way mire, who is well known to all of our citizens. He was at - Kickapoo Springs near Attica at the time of his death. This was his second trip there for his health. The first trip seemed to do him a great deal of good. His death occured on Thursday night, Aug. 9. The cause of his death was pleuro-pheumonia. His remains were brought here last Saturday morning on the early train and were taken to his residence on south Vanßensselaer street. The funeral services were conducted at the M. E. church by Rev. Utter, at 10 a. nr. the same morning. The burial took place at the Egypt cemetary south of town, and was under the direction of the G. A. R. of which Mr. Way mire was a member, John Waymire was born near Dayton, 0.. on Feb. 2. 1828. He was married to Mary McMullen on July 24, 1849, at Independence, Warren County, Ind Nine children were bom to this couple, of whom only four survive their father. He has been for many years a much respected citizen of Jasper county, mainly in Jordan township, but during the past four years his residence has been in Rensselaer. For two terms he fiiled the honerous and responsible position of county commissioner in this county. On August 9, 1862, just 62 years before the day of his death, he enlisted in Co. A, 87th Ind. regiment. He remained in the service until Nov. 24, 1863. when he was honorably discharged, for disability. He united with the church of the United Brethren in Christ in boyhood and remained a faithful member to the end.

Town Board.

The town “dads” met in regular session last Monday evening, and we give below the principal business of the meeting: The rate of tax for special school purposes was increased to 80 cents on the 8100. It was 25 cents. B. F. Ferguson petitioned the board to construct a stone culvert over Makemself ditch on Cullen street. The matter was handed over to committee on street improvements. If this is done, which in all probabilities will be, every street crossing over this ditch will be properly and safely bridged. An arc light was ordered to be placed at the intersection of Walnut and Main streets just north of the depot. Warren Robinson came before the board with a proposition to transfer to the town 2 112-100 acres, the same to bo an addition to Weston cemetery as it lies just west of it. It was taken under advisment. There were also several other matters of lesser importance transacted.

ADDITIONAL LOCAL.

We take pleasure in announc ing the coming reunion of the 46th, 48th and 87th Ind. Regiments, which occurs in Rensselaer, on Wednesday and Thursday, Aug. 29 and 30. It is expected that there will not be less than 350 representatives of these regiments here at that time. Our citizens will be asked to care for a a large number of these old veterans, and there should be no hesitancy shown in giving ,them a royal welcome. We must show these loyal visitors that we know how to care for them. Freight men predict that the present scarcity of cars will prevail for months to come. They argue that the grain moving now is the last crop, and as 60 per cent, of the 1893 crop is still in the hands of farmers or in elevators, there is no room for storing grain; consequently, they must ship it, and when the new crop is out of the way the old must be moved, as holders are tired of retaining it for higher prices.

The Ferris wheel, which was exhibited at the World's Fair, will this week be removed from Chicago. The Lake Shore has leased the car from the Pennsylvania company which carried the big Krupp cannon to carry the wheel. The axle weighs seventy tons, and it will require several trains of flat cars to convey to its destination the matei’ial of which the great wheel was composed. The great bicycle relay from Washington to Denver was completed last Saturday night. The time consumed in carrying the message from the former to the latter city, a distance of 2.067 miles, was 6 days, 10 hours and 37 minutes, a gain of 37 hours and 23 minutes over the scheduled time. The message was from President Cleveland to Gov. Waite.

People’s Parly State Platform.

In general terms we endorse the principles and declarations of the Omaha platform, and herewith submit the platform prepared by your cornniitUM) on resolutions. THE FINANCIAL ISSUE. We demand a national currency of 150 p-»r c ipita. including the free coinage of silver at the ratio of IS to 1. issued by the general government only, a lull legal tender for ail debts I>otli public and private distributed to the people direct without tin; intervention of banking corporation- in payment of al! obligations of the government, and demand tho issue of non-interest bearing treasury notes of small denominations. W e declare our unalterable opposition, sts a party, to banks of issue, state or national. We also denounce the past and continued use of the government fiat by congress to create interest-bearing bonds. H e charge that the crime of demonetizing silver in '73, by the Republican party, further consummated by the joint action of lioth the old parties at the extra session of congress in !13, has fully accomplished the purpose of the monied aristocracy of the United States and England, in placing American producers of our great staple crops on a level with the poorest paid pauper labor of the world under English control, by changing through this crime against American producers and laborers, the pricing instrument for all products and wages to the single standard of gold only. We demand a national graduate income tax on salaries or incomes in excess of reasonable expenditures for the comforts and necessities of life. We pledge the People’s party, when given control of the government, that the gunholders, who put up life to save the Union from secession, shall be equalized with tho bondholders, who speculated in human life and the blood of our people, and their pensions shall be treated as a vested right. We favor the election of United States senators and all postmasters by direct vote of the people.

STATE ISSUES. We believe the people are yet capable of self-government and home rule, and demand of the next legislature the repeal of the metropolitan police law applied to cities. We also denounce the present unfair and unjust law that forbids minorities representation on election boards or witnesses to count of ballots, as a violation of the natural rights of the people; tho entering wedge to the destruction of free government; the very essence of party tyranny and taxation without representation, laws that no honest man can defend. We demand a constitutional convention (o revise our state constitution and include therein reform in the methods of taxation and the initiative and referendum system of legislation, with the veto power of all the important laws in the hands of the people. We demand such equitable adjustment cf tho statute for the listing of property for taxation'that will permit the deduction of all bona fide indebtedness from sum total listed. We demand a reasonable homestead law that no process of any court can touch. Wo demand a law taxing all inheritances coming to citizens of Indiana, both direct and collateral, at 5 per cent, above $2.0,00, for the benefit of the state sinking fund. We demand that most liberal educational facilities for the masses within the power of the state to provide, and a more efficient administration of the public school fund. We demand that convict labor shall be taken as fur as possible away from competition with honest, free labor in conduct of the state prisons, recommending that counties work their convicts building and Improving public roads.

We demand a law at the hands of the next legislature that will make it optional with debtors In this state, to pay any legal obligation in gold, silver or other lawful money of the United States. We demand that our state naturalization laws conform to our national laws upon the subject. We view with alarm the evil influence of the liquor traffic. We heartily endorse the initiative and referendum system of legislation. believing by this means the people can suppress this and other evils more effectually than by any other mode. We demand an effective enforcement of the laws prohibiting tho employment of child labor. We demand that a system of arbitration he established, whereby serious difficulties between employer and employes may bo speedily and impartially adjusted, before either party resort to measures detrimental to one and to both. We favor a reduction of the working hours by law In mines and factories in conformity with tlie progress of industry. ’ We demand that cities be specially empowered to assume ownership and control of public, water, transportation and lighting plants, in such manner as to operate wholly in the interest of the people, without imposing burdensome taxation. We are against tiie giving out .of public works under contract to the lowest bidder, state and the communities should carry out such work themselves under the supervision of experienced officers. We favor an efficient employer's liability law and the Inspection of mines and factories for tho protection of life and limb of the. workingmen. The right to vote 1* inherent in citizenship Irrespective of sex.
