JOHN'S ENGLISH HAND.
John Bull seems to have determined
upon a general crusade against the
republics of America. Not content
with endeavoring to imbroil Chill and
the United States in war by false
statements and misrepresentations as
to the action of American officers dur-
the late revolution in Chili he is now
endeavoring to throw discredit upon
the republic of Brazil and by spread-
ing false reports of her internal con-
dition destroy her finances and so
cripple her as to make merchandize
of her distress and this simply be-
cause Brazil has concluded a trade
treaty with cue - ----- which is
uot “ rciai ad vantage of
John T.• * 4to the
J •• ' „ c^.n2 ton iu-
r - deny the reports
... ..oped in London concerning the
so-called revolution and pronouncing
them of British manufacture are very
pertinent illustrations of English un-
fairness and meanness. That these
reports are not believed in the finan-
cial circles to which they are origin-
ally sent is evident from the facts.
Brazilian securities are rising instead
of falling in the English market at
the very time that reports are wired !
from Rio Janeiro that the whole
country is on the eve of revolution
three provinces having already seced-
ed and the military beginning to
show signs of disaffection. That
a leading commercial nation
like England should stoop to
euch means of revenge unon r
foreign nation because she can
not control her commerce is bad
enough but it is not so diabolical as
her conduct has been in the case of
Chili. There England has played a
bold game and one that bid fair at
one time to succeed. Finding that
Balmaceda was very favorably in-
clined to closer relation with the L ni>
ed States and fearing the effect upon I
English interests in North Chili the ।
British agents in Valparaiso and San-
tiago began an active crusade against
the authority of Balmaceda. Taking
advantage of the revolutionary feel-
ing always slumbering in these
Latin American nations the revolu-
tionary spirit was fostered until an
open rupture was created between the
malcontents and the government. By
every means in their power the
English in Chili aided and abetted
the revolution until it was
successfully accomplished. Their an-
imosity increased by finding an Irish
American representing the United
States in Chili tbeseagentsof misrule
and bloody revolution began a
systematic course of falsification in
order to foment trouble between Chili
and the United States. From the
very circumstances of the case it is
quite probable" at the English
agents in Chili were directly interest-
ed in inciting the populace against
the American sailors. A people who
will do in Chili and Brazil what
Englishmen have donetogratify spite
at a prospective loss of trade will stop
at nothing. It is not ungenerous or
unjust to charge them witli the direct
responsibility of all that lias occurred
to create strained relations between
the United States and ;the govern-
ment of Chili.
Campbell's defeat disposes of all
chances he ever had of being either
first or second on the presidential
ticket.
If a man’s moral worth is to be
judged by the company he keeps how
is a girl’s worth indexed? By the size
of the paternal pile.
Hogg kept out of that McKinley
campaign. His discretion was always
more noted that his courage. Mills
is built just the other way.
Boies of lowa and Campell of Ohio
are both turn coat republicans. It is
singular how the democracy in a
strait have to hark back to G. O. P.
■■ i *
The republicans of this country
would pay a fair price to insure against
all mistakes in the Ohio senatorial
election. The man who succeeds
John Sherman should be himself.
Old Hutch has definitely forsaken
the Chicago grain room and pitched
his tent on the floor of the New York
Produce Exchange. He will make it
warm for the jackets of some of the
Gothamites before the spring opens.
President Harrison did not in-
vite Gov. Steele of Oklahoma tore-
sign democratic assertion to the con-
trary. Gov. Steele resigned much to
the regret of the administration in
order to attend to his private busi
ness.
Galveston News remarks: “Bal-
maceda B. Harrison and Jim Blaine
all have nine letters indicative that
B. H. and J. G. B. are in the nine-
hole.” Where is “Cleveland” and
“Daily News” and “Galveston” when
it comes to a nine-hole? Try again old
“Gal.”
Goodwin Smith of Toronto wants
unrestricted trade relations between
Canada and tlie United States and
says that their political and commer-
cial future are irrevocably bound to-
gether. All the same United States
does not want Canada as an integral
part of her domain.
The drouth has been broken in
Illinois but Texas is dry. Rain is
very much needed in all parts of the
state. The rain makers cannot come
too soon or remain too long to suit the
stockmen or market gardeners par-
ticulary if the weather clerk draws
mild on temperature.
The republicans are not worry-
ing over the outcome of the lale elec-
tions. The tide has turned which set
so strongly against the party in 1890
and the democrats are likely to raise
breeze enough in the next congress to
fill the sails of the good old republi-
can ship and bripg her into port with
all ner canvas spread.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
I From Our Regular Correspondent.]
Washington Nov. 11 1891.
The President is bow devoting
every spare moment of his time to
work upon his annual massage to
Congress much of which he has al-
ready roughly prepared. The finin-
cial part of the message which will
be largely based upon the annual re-
port of the Secretary of the Treasury
upon which Secretary Foster is now
hard at work will probable
be the last that will be finished. It
may be mentionedupon good author-
ity that the portion of the message
treating ci the several foreign com-
pl icat’ons which have recently
o icurred will fairly brittle with Ameri-
cansim of the stalwart sort the sort
which is calculated to make Ameri-
can residing or traveling abroad
proud of the flag which protects them
wherever they go and which has
gained for that flag greater respect
among the strong nations of the
world than it has ever before ever
enjoyed.
Now that the smoke has entirely
cleared away from the recent State
elections and a calm observation of
the causes which brought about cer-
tain effects may be taken no member
of the national administration sees
anything to darken the bright pros-
pect of the republican success next
year. They all recognize that in the
one State —Ohio—where the fight
was squarely made upon the issue
that the national campaign is to be
fought upon—protection and honest
money—there is a magnificent repub-
lican victory and in that victory
they see the forerunner of another
and greater victory next year. The
election of Maj. McKinley although
fully expected from the start gives
the greatest satisfaction in Washing-
ton where the starling honesty and
integrity ol the man have made him
as wide a circle of personal friends
and well wishers as any man in pub-
life has. He is one of the few men
who never get the “big head”.
This week the date for bolding the
G. A. It. National encampment next
year will be determined upon. At first
it was thought that it was in October
but so many have objected to that
m>nth that it is now thought
probable that September will be se-
lected the objection to October is its
cool nights which it is feared might
have a bad effect upon the several
thousand veterans that will be provi-
ded with free quarters in tents during
the encampmant.
Senator Plumb is in Washington re-
ceiving the congratulations of his
friends on the result 01 the Kansas
campaign in which he tock a leading
part. He says that the result shows
that the Kansas farmers will not be
led by the nose by Ignorant demago-
gues whose only aim in life is to
feather their own nests; they have a
way of doing their own thinking
which in the end brings them in the
near neighborhood of what is right
and proper.
It is generally supposed that the
men who are fighting to make Mills
Speaker of the Hiuse are also work-
ing to make Cleveland the nominee
of his party next year but it is not
true of all of them for one of the
ablest and shrewdest of the men en-
gaged in the managementof the Mills
campaign said on the subject: “No
sir; the election of Mills does not
mean the nomination oi Cleveland.
If it did I should be working against
instead of for Mills. You know that
I am very much opposed to the elec-
tion of Crisp as Speaker and yet I
assure you that I would a thousand
times rather see Crisp elected Speaker
than to see Cleveland nominated for
President.”
Senator Mitchell of Oregon says he
intends to re-Introduce his joint reso-
lution for aconetitutional amendment
providing for the election of U. S.
Senators by direct vote of the peeple.
ust as soon as Congress meets and
[Lat he proposes if possible to get a
vote on its during the session.
One notable effect of the State elec-
tion returns is that the officials of the
National Farmer’s Alliance who make
this city their headquarters have
stopped “claiming the earth” which
they were doing right along before the
election. Now they have nothing to
say for publication further than that
the “Alliance isn’t in politics this
year any way.” In plain words the
trick by which it was hoped that sev-
eral of the North West States would
throw away their electoral votes while
the South would remain solidly dem-
ocratic has been effectually shown up
and will cut no figure in the Presi-
dential campaign. As one Senator
puts its: “If the Farmer’s Alliance
in the South wants to organize a third
party let them start the ball by cut-
ting loose from the democratic party
in the several Southern States which
they now control”
Vice President Morton and his fam-
iily are now occupying their Wash-
