SCRAPS,
NOTES AND
MBNTS.
COM-
Secure quarters before you come
to the encampment, it will save
you much vexation, perhaps em
barrassment. Write to some one
in this city and have the matter
attended to so that when you arrive
you will know just where to go.
People will be so thick here during
eucampment week that you will
not be able to count them.
The title of the platform talk that
is now iu course of preparation by
the associate editor of the Bee,
Mr. George M. Arnold, is "Some
famous men and women, scenes
and incidents, a birds eye view of
the capital." The first talk will be
in Boston next November. The
colonel makes his trial effort there
tor the double purpose of tryiug
bis hand on New England, and
getting registered iu the Lecture
Bureau.
Born to consume fruits; merely
made to consume food.
A harmless thuuderbolr.
Don't mix politics iuto any day
during the time our Grand Army
will be our guests, or even any
night. Let the veterans enjoy the
week outside of anything with the
essence of politics in it.
The republicans of the District
have held their ratification meet
ing aud it was a success. All men
good and tiuo approved of that
and what was done. Side shows
are Jiow in order, but common de
cency should dictate that a politi
cal manoeuvre during the week of
the encampment is something that
is without precedeut and entirely
out cf place and can but result in
doiug harm to the party.
It seems strange, but Irishmen
are always the prime movers iu
every strike- Omaha Progress.
Why strange, Irishmen have
faith in their shillelah and wbats a
shillelah for if not to strike.
Faith is the substance of things
hoped for, the evidence of things
not seen.
The democrats are doing many
things to tempt some of the race
leaders to desert the principles that
governed Lincoln, Fremont, Su li
ner, S:evens, Wade, John Brown,
Elliott, Gaines, Cain and "the old
guard." Blessed is the man that
eudureth temptation ; for when he
is tried ho shall receive the crown
of life.
General JJarnsou, the loyal mil
lions that wept at the bedside ol
Lincoln, sympathized with the
stricken Gaifiild, sent their pray
ers to God for Grant, opened the
flood gates of their tender souls
for Sheridan, Sherman and Logan,
begged God's compassion and
mercy for the household of General
Tracy, look now to that same God
aud pray that your dear companion
may be restored again to vigor and
health.
Every man who is a voter of a
State and a republican, now resid
ing iu the District of Columbia,
can help elect General Harrison to
be his own successor if he wants to.
How? By joiuiug the republican
club from his State, attend the
meetings, "chip in" and work in
an intelligent manner under the
direction of your leaders, aud be
ready to go homo and vote, and
don't staud around waiting for
some one to pay your fare, or
"push" you home.
Republicans from the South in
the Nation's capital, don't rust out
but let it bo said jou wore out.
Go to work, attend your republican
club meetings, "chip iu." If some
of you are advised by your leaders,
or would be leaders, not to taae or
have any pirt in politics, reply by
saying an Americau who does not
want to vote or have to do with
politics, is the least thing in the
low unmanly sentiment that some
small people are slimed over with.
BILL NYE THE RACE PROB
LEM. According to our way of reading
and digesting essays on the race
problem, we unhesitatingly give
as our. opinion that Mr. William
Nye has thrown more solid philos
phy into the resovoir of thought
than any other American that has
touched the question this year, at
least.
Iu last Sunday's World he says :
"And what are we to do with the
race problem at the South? Every
where l'hear the question, especi
ally where there are no colored
people. Hence there seems to be
no more probability of a race diffi
culty than there was when the fire t
shipment of colored people was
received from the coast of Guinea.
There are no strikes where colored
labor is employed. "rVagea are
very moderate, and while a State
militia has to be called out now
and then in cities where there is no
race question, the South, with all
her former woes, has had very lit
tle trouble of that nature.
The colored man will yet prove
no doubt a blessing when new in
dustries open up in the South, and
with his wonderful powers of imi
tation and quickness to learn all
sorts of manual work he is most
assuredly a safer man to employ,
if he could have the training, than
a fire-eating, disturbing, dynamit
ing outcast from Europe.
I hope I am saying nothing that
may weakeu my social position,
which is now the wonder and the
delight of all who have examined
it, but f Fome philanthropist like
Mr. Carnegie or Mr. Gould would
start a colored kindergarten for
the training of young colored men
iu the trades, so that a peaceful
but dependent race might have a
job, it would make the disturbing
element pay attention and be a
great and good work applauded by
God aud humanity."
TO THE
AFKO-AMERICAN
PRESS.
The Soldiers and Siilors Nation
al League respectfully suggest that
persons who are coming to the en
campment of the G. A. R. id this
city September, 1892, and not at
tached to organizations that ar
rangements have been provided
for, will do well to immediately
open correspondence and secure
.quarters so that upon arrival it
will only be necessary to proceed
to the places provided. This will
save vexation, discomfiture and
impatience, otherwise it might
cause a deal of displeasure.
Persons desiring quarters, indi
vidually, may if they choose, ad
dress the League and their requests
will be attended to with pleasure
and without chago.
Very respectfully

NATIONAL CAPITAL AFFAIRS.
Late News at the Seat of Government.
Adjournment of Centres.
Congress adjourned on Friday last,
after adjusting such differences as re
mained between the two houses. The
Sundry Ciril Appropriation Bill was
inally passed with a provision giving
;he Chicago Columbian Fair $2,500,
000. In regard to the charges ot
drunkenness upon the floor of the
House, made by Congressman Watson,
of Georgia, the Committee of Investi
gation made a report saying that it has
no hesitation in declaring that the
charges, construed in the sense in
which they are made, are false and li
belous; that the evidence was over
whelming that the charge involving
Representative Cobb is contradicted, by
the witnesses, and there was nothing in
the evidence to justify the imputation
made againBt him. The facts are, the
report says, that three and possibly four
members appeared on the floor more or
less under the influence of liquor, but
none in the condition described in the
charges. The committee's resolution
declares that the charges made by Mr.
Watson are not true, and constitute an
unwarranted assault upon the honor and
dignity of the House, and have the un
qualified disapproval of the House. The
closing work of the Senate was devoted
to a review of the legislation of the pres
ent session.
Mr. Manderson said that the Senate
had passed 709 Senate bills and of those
the House had passed 120. The House
had passed 460 House bills; and of
those the Senate had passed 314. Oi
all the Presidential nominations that
had come to the Senate during this ses
sion there had not been a single one re
jected, and but three nominations had
died on the executive calendar of th
Senate.
This congratulatory expression drew
from Senator Allison a statement of th
comparative expenditures of this Con
gress and the last. The appropriations
of the first session of the 51st Congress
were, in round numbers, $463,000,000,
and those of the present session $507,
000,000, showing an increase at this
session of $44,000,000. The principal
increases -were in appropriations foi
pensions andior the Post Office Depart
ment, There were some diminutions at
the present session, aotably in the defi
ciencies, to the amount of $5,000,000.
There was also a diminution of $4,000,
000 in miscellaneous appropriations.
Mr. Gorman, a member of the Com
mittee on Appropriations, commended
the chairman of that committee for his
fair and candid statement. The fact
mained, however, that the appropria
tions at this session would exceed
500,000,000, notwithstanding the ex
traordinary efforts of the House of Rep
resentatives to keep them within reason
able bounds. It was not altogether a
party matter; for these immense appro
priations were partly made necessary
because of the growth of the country,
the extension of the postal system and
the extension of the pension system and
other permanent and necessary expendi
tures, ,

From reliable reports, collected in
New York, it is estimated that the total
outturn of wheat in the Uaited States
will be about 480,000,000 bushels. In
1891 it was about 612,000,000 bushels,
showing a decrease this year of 182,000,
000 bushels, or about 20 per cent. The
country will eat 8,000,000 bushels more
this year, thus making the exportable
supply 140,000,000 bushels less than
that of 1891. Iadia has a crop about
60,000,000 bushels below that of last
year; South America's yield equals that
of 1891 as will Australasia's. The har
vests of Italy, Hungary, Spain and Por
tugal is from 10 to 15 per cent below
the product of 1891. la Great Britain
the product will be about 10,000,000
bushels less than last year. Bussia,
France and Belgium will have larger
crops than last year. America's crop,
although far below last year's yi(Ois
