Newman's fienaational Ser monNote from the Capital. Washington, City, Nov. 27. A slirewd Democratic observer of events sait Thursday : 4'Thre is a chani'e for tlie Democrats to get control of the Fiftieth congress by a coup d' e'tat which is perfectly legitimate. Last win ter the Republicans in the seiiate wore so anxious to have Dakota a Imitttii as a state that they made overtures to Senator Voor heett, wliusti son is a delegate from Washing ton territory. The purp;1 was to win over Democratic opposition to Dakota by conced ing Washington territory's claim to admis sion at the same time. Dakota is overwhelm ingly Republican while Washington h was believed could be eventually wrested from the Democrats. Acting on this belief the Republican senate passed bills admit-; ting Loth Dakota and Washington. ! The state of Washington would send two Democratic senators here at once. The sen ate bills admitting both are now on the bouse calendar. A Democratic house would only follow precedents in taking party ad vantage of the situation by passing the Washington bill in the coming short session and finding a pretext to leave the Dakota bill on the calendar. The territory which Republican shrewdness reckoned as at least debatable ground has ben carried for the Democrat and Delegate Voorhees by an in creased majority. The machinery necessary for forming the state government and elect ing the United (States senators can be pit into operation very soon. By the time the next congress meets two Democratic sena tors from the state of Washington can be in the city of Washington to vote with their party. The senate would then stand: Dem ocrats KepublUnus 'J tnat is, if Riddle berger and Van Wyck can be kept in the Republican lines." "AMERICA FOR AMERICANS." Sanitation at Polltlral Sermon lel1vervd by the Kev. Dr. New man. Washington City, Nov. 27. The Rev. Dr. Newman delivered a sensational political ermon Thanksgiving Day on "America for Americans. " He disclaimed kno wuot h ing ism, but set up a very high and exclusive standard of American citizenship. He said he would make every foreigner live at least fifteen years here to learn the estential at tributes of an American before obtaining a voter's privilege. He would make everv priest and everv Roman t'nt holic renunc before God and the holy angels all allegiance to every foreign prince or pontiff, whether spiritual or temjiorai. The pope, he said' should have no sovereignty here. He vehe mently denounced the Irish vote, the Car man vote, an 1 every vote that was not thor oughly American. At the end an excited pari-ihioner rv and made a sieech, in which he declared that the preacher had expressed the sentiments of the congregation. tSuch an excitement has not before lieen witnessed in any church in this city. The I'renliient's VSrwn on the Tariff. Washington City, Nov. aT. The presi dent, in n recent conversation with a friend, gnvp an outline of his position on the tariff. "My views on the tariff have been very much misunderstood. I am not a free trader, nor am I what some call a high pro tective tariff man. 1 believe that there is a middle ground upon which we can all stand with perfect regard for the interests of in dustry and a sufficient revenue. Tnere is no doubt that the system of raising revenue for the sup port of the goverment from the duties on foreign merchandise imported into the c u it try is the simplest and least burdensome of all methods for the object in view. W know that the income tax was not popular, and thnt a land tax would affect the agricul tural class. These are the methods resorted to when the customs plan is not used. A sys tem of duties based on the idea of revenue with incidental protection seems to be the proper middle ground." AUCTION AND'JOMMISSION W. H.
