POLICY OF THE DEMOCRATS.
Intention to Obstruct Business at the Next
Session of Congress.
SCHEMES TO EMBARRASS REPUBLICANS ,
No Free Coinage Mill for tlic Pri'sont
TIio Immigration Problem
Serious Ono fJorninn's
. Ambition.
WASHINGTON' , Mayfll.--Special [ Correspond-
cnco of Tin : Bin : . ) There will bo no busi
ness dune in congress at thu approaching
session. This Is ttio iloelslon of every well-
posted man hero. The democrats In the
hoiiso will at once cntor upon a career of ob
struction. This they will do partly from
natural Inclination and partly from force of
circumstances.
It Is the regular policy of the democrats to
bo obstructionists. They always prefer to
point to wliat tboy prohibited rather than to
what they did. At no session slnco tbo war
Imvo the democrat. * In olthor house of con
gress passed half as many bills as the repub
licans adopt on the average. They nro tin-
nolo In the llrst ptaeo to agree among
themselves upon lines of policy , and
then they have neither the genius
nor the progression to makn lawn.
In the .second place It would bo simple politi
cal sulcldo for the democrats in the house to
enter upon a season of bill-passing , for they
have the most mutley lot , of lawmaker. * among
them that an American citizen over saw. A
mass convention of natives on the Volga or
tbo Black Sea would present as homogenous a
lot of fellows as the democrats have In their
majority In tbo present houso. Their ten
dencies are toward the ridiculous. They
would destroy good government with not
only the bonded warehouse sehonio and free
coinage , but 1-IDO schemes of Hat and wildcat
order. The democrats have secured the alli
ance and third party men in the bouse all of
tboso ii\ fact who wcro elected on tickets
based uion the demand for "a change in the
order of things" any kind of a change ,
bankruptcy if nothing else. Furthermore
they want to hold those men and do not want
to olTond them. However , the demo
crats do not want to stand spon
sors for the schemes thM , these fellows
intend to soring tinon congress , and there
fore it has been agreed among the loading
democrats that nothing shall bo done. Self-
abnegation will bo shown by tbo majority of
real democrats in order not to offend the
proselyted hybrids.
It is absolute folly for any one to talk
about a free colnngo bill passing this congress -
gross , however many sensationalists and
reckless individuals it may contain. In the
lirst place it is extremely doubtful whether
even by caucus action , including the forty or
moro hybrids , a rule of unit action could bo
agreed to which would anticipate a vote on a
free coinage bill , for there nro many strong
democrats in both branches of congress who
do not want a free coinage bill passed at this
time. They prefer to lot it go over , and have
an opportunity to straddle the silver ques
tion next year , believing that if they do not
renoiniimto Mr. Cleveland they can run their
candidate in sorno sections as a Ireo colnngo
advocate , in others an advocate of the free
coinage of American silver , in others for the
present law. and in the extreme sections of
the east as the monomotallst that he is.
Again , thcro is scarcely an issue which has
over been before congress that the democrats
can agree upon , oven though they had the
cntlro membership of congress.
It was hinted some months ago that the
democrats intended to embarrass the republi
cans from certain sections of the west by
proposing changes In the present tariff laws
under a now line of attack by treating
articles upon the dutiable list separately.
For instance , tlioy would propose to put bind
ing twlno on the free list in a separate bill ;
and In another they would reducotho duty on
certain articles of clothing or lood. The word
has been passed around during the last few
days thnt'thoro must bo nothing said or done
In thai direction ; that no tnritf bill is tn bo
comnlled by the democrats , and nothing of
Importance-done In the direction of tariff re
form. The programme is to do nothing , but
condemn the whole tariff law. To modify
the laws in any respect would be to acknowl
edge that thcro were republicans who did
not endorse them and that it was possible to
reform the tariff under this administration.
They could bo denounced as a whole and as
thov stand bottir than in part. This is the
position of the democratic1 loaders.
It is conceded that it will bo useless to contest -
test any seat In the present house. A re
publican would stand no moro shew in a contest -
test now than ho stood at Gettysburg on
July y. ISO : ! . In point of fact ho would stand
less show , for there ho had a a lighting
chance.
It is possible , but not probable , that the
immigration question will bo taken hold of In
a partisan way. Vho problem has become so
serious that even the democrats may by
force of circumstances be compelled to act
upon it.
Another thing suggests that this is to bo a
do-nothing majority in the houso. Senator
Gorman Is the master mind of the democrats
In congress. Ho not only handles thorn in
the senate but in the house. Ho regards
himself as in the direct line of presidential
promotion. To advance in either body will
bo for him risky. To stand still will bo safo.
To cntor upon an era of the defensive has
already been bis orders. A speaker is to bo
selected , It is stated , who will bo In favor of
this programme.
CIVIL SlIKVICn JinQriltl'.MKNTH.
The requirements of the civil service com
mission for a position worth $1,800 a year in
the war department , the selection to bo madn
by competitive examination on Juno 10 , has
attracted attention to the fact that It does
not any longer pay to hold t'loriciil or expert
positions under the federal government. In
order to pass a successful examination for
this fl.MK ) place the man must , according to
the written specifications In this instance , asset
sot forth by the commission , "bo able to de
sign and construct buildings in all their de
tails , must bo nblo to estimate their cost , and
must possess a thorough knowledge of build
ing material and modern appliances. "
The work this olllco holder will have to do
will not In any degree clovato his qunlillca-
tlons for holding a remunerative position. Ho
will design buildings for army posts , bar
racks , etc. , and a knowledge of this work
would bo of no possible advantage In private
lifo or In any other position. Bo-sides , ho
goes to the top of promotion at the lirst atop ,
and there will ho no higher reward In the
service.
Washington architects sny that n man
lilted to pass this examination could com
mand a business in private llto worth twice
or thrco times $1,800 n your , anywhere. Bo-
bldes , It costs moro to live in Washington
than almost any other pluco. T'lls ' Instance
of requirements for places ut U sr the civil
service law Is not remote ; it is universal
wherever the duties require nnythjng like
technical knowledge. Men In congress say
the rules will have to ho modified , so that a
less dosroo of knowledge is required , or the
result will bo u necessity of higher salaries or
vacant ortlcos.
A Dr.MOII.U.IZIN'n 8VSTK.M.
A number of congressmen .who - have .boon
In the city for several days , looidiif aftnr
uuslnessln the departments for constituents ,
say they have found a condition of affairs
which they Intend to remedy at the approach
ing session ,
Under tbo rules of the departments It
may bo a civil sorvlcorula a married woman
cannot retain her position as a cleric. When
uho marries she must abdicate her throne In
Undo Sam's cathedral of sinecures , as It
woiu and resign the day she changes her
muno , for If no other reason thoru U no law
or rule by which a parson can resign ( n ono
name and bo immediately appointed to the
jixino poiltlon in another name.
The operation of this rule or principle ,
which Is Intloxlblo , Is In many Instances de
moralizing.Vonion marry on the ciulul
and continue to hold tholr ofllclal po.sltlaus.
Many men and women in the executive de
partment mo.st of thorn respectable uro
married- and yet these who work about
them every week day Inivo no suspicions of
the fact. They live together , in a way. Tlioy
go about toguthor , sometimes. Tno.v do not ,
however , pass as man and wife , for ttuit
would cost one her position , and possibly the
other.

iTiuorrwAU CLAIM * .
Mvory dav u no\yklnd of war claim arrives
at the treasury department. Today ono put
In Us nnpcnrancotU'rllch for a tltno appeared
to .stand upon good ground. A sutler In the
federal nrmy had flu supplies , his store of
goods , forcibly takun by the con federate
' r
troops.
"A sutler was a-United States ofllcer , "
argued the claimant , "and as such was not
only entitled to tbfcl protection of the United
States but dnnuwcs for any loss from the
cnom v while within the lines of the federals. "
The claim is nottfood. The ground taken
by the claimant Is not tenable , for the reason
that ; thu federal government did not con
tract , and never will , to pay damages by the
'
onomy. If the goods had'boon taken and
used by the Jfedornl.s. the claim would bo
good. This Is the position taken bv the no-
counting ofllcors. One of them said :
"To enable a loyal cltl/.cn , bo ho sutler or
not. to got dnmncas for property taken or
destroyed during thu war. It must bo shown
that It was taken or deUrovcd by Union
soldiers. If this sutler's claim "showed that
the goods ; wore taken by federal soldiers It
would bo naturally Inferred that they were
to bo a part of rations , and since wo con
tracted to feed our soldiers wo might as well
feed through sutlers as other channels , al
though it was not contemplated by law or
regulations. "

lost their lives. Prince had accidentally
learned the hiding place of a negro desperado

Prince could i.ot keep his secret till morn

shal Alvare/ , who made up n posse of flvo
men , armed with Winchesters , and guided
by Prince they rode on horseback to the
cabin of a negro named Frank Adams , about
three miles from hero aid near the town of
Hampton. The posse surrounded the house
and Prince went inside unarmed to arrc t
Murray. Murray resisted and tiimllv seized
his gun and shot Prince dead , the ball passIng -
Ing through his stomach. Alvarez and his
men then opened Uro on Murray , who stood
on the porch. Ho returned it. No ono was

Finullj Alvarez and his men exhausted
tholr supply of cartridges. Iho marshal
agreed to stand guard alone while the posse
returned to town to cot moro men and a

SEASON OF OTA POLITICS ,
Approaching State Conventions of the Var
ious Orcauizitions.
WILL NOMINATE FOUR STATE TICKETS.

IdoiiH tin * Joint
Hate 1 a w.
DBS MritSK * . la. , May : ) ! . [ Special to
Tin : Bun. ] The coming month will , bo n
season of political state conventions In Iowa.
First will cutno the farmers' alliance conven
tion on Wednesday next In this elty. What
the result of Its deliberations will be is not
exactly clear , but the bcitof Is prevalent that ,
it will endorse the people's parly recently
created at Cincinnati and nominate n stnto
ticket. Candidates Imvo not boon discussed ,
and there will bo very little rivalry for the
various positions. The Iowa alliance organ
ization has not heretofore boon mrddilng in
politics , and It is not bcltoved will hay much
of n representation In the convention. In
deed , several county alllanco conventions
have bo en held of late , which have ruftisot
to appoint delegate * . The per.-tonncl of the
state convention is therefore llkelv to bo
made up of about the same mongrel belief as
constituted the mUlonnl conference , with
General Weaver and bis colleagues In con
trol. Its Influence will bo almost wholly
democratic ,
The next convention will bo that of the
third p.irty prohibitionists , calloJ U > meet In
DCS Molnos Juno 10 , a week later. AccordIng -
Ing to the call It will DO entitled to about
three bund rod and fifty delegates. It will
also nominate a state ticket. Since this party
has only boon able to control about fUtc-cn
hundred votes in tbo past ten years , it will
not bo likely to cut much of a liguro this
year. But it makes a bravo bid for support
uy incorporating in its platform of principles
in addition to the cardinal ono of prohibition
of the liquor trnfllc , state and national , the
following : Opposition to all trusts and mo
nopolies , all lawful efforts of worklngmcn to
improve their condition , especially the farm
ers in their efforts to lighten their burdens ,
nrbitiatlon of all differences instead of the
sword , emigration laws amended so as to
protect American citizens , opposition to a
tariff burdening the masses , that thu govern
ment should abolish national banks and in
crease our national circulating medium , the
free coinage of silver , a free ballot and n fail-
count by the Australian system , equal suf
frage , government control of railroads and
transportation , the election of president , vice
president and United States senators bv a
direct vote of the people.
Then will como on Juno 21 , at Ottumwa ,
the democratic state convention. It will bo
composed of over a thousand delegates , will
roatllrm the well-known principles of the
party , and nominate a state tlcnot headed by
Governor Boles , lion. S. L. Ic.tov ! will
likely ba the candidate again for lieutenant
governor ; Judge Kinno for the supreme
bench , and ox-Commissioner Day or L. D.
Hotchkiss of Davis county for the railway
board.
The republican state convention will beheld
held last , on July 1 , at Cedar Hnpids. It also
will bo composed of over ono thousand dolo-
gatcs and will try to name the winning
ticket. The farmers of the state have been
especially invited to attend nil the township
caucuses and select farmer delegates to the
county conventions , who In turn ,
if the theory is carried out , can select farmer
delegates to the state convention , and in
this way control the convention , the ticket ,
the plattunn and llnally the election. Attor
ney General John Y. Stone , himself a prac
tical farmer , will be the temporary chair
man. Thu governorship lies between
Wheeler , Kerr , Coflln and Clayton , all prac
tical farmers. There will bo little or no contest -
test for the other olllcos. Lieutenant Gov
ernor Poynecr , Cluof Justice * Beck , Superin
tendent of Public Instruction Sabln and
Hallway Commissioner Campbell being prac
tically conceded a nomination.
When nil these parties get actively at work ,
the political atmosphere In Iowa will bo
somewhat warm. The main litht will bo be
tween the two dominant parlies , and the
main issue will bo tbo temperance question.
The independents seem to ho leaning toward
prohibition , as they have selected Uov. Frank
W. Evans , an ardent temperance orator , for
temporary chairman.
TIII : JOINT UATI : j\w.
The supreme court of the state has under
its consideration the case of the Burlington ,
Cedar Knpids & Northern railway com
pany against the Iowa railway commission to
enjoin the enforcement of the joint rate law.
At the last term of the supreme court the de
cision of .ludgo Falrnll , of the Johnson
district , granting the lnjunetionwas reversed
by n divided court. The last consideration
comes under a motion by tbo rajlway com
pany for a rehearing. The arguments were
made last Tuesday by General Solicitor W.
C. Goudy of the Chicago & Northwestern
railway for plalntitT , and Attorney General
Stone for the stnto. Mr. Goudy appeared
lu this case because his road will bo affected
by the decision in common with other roads.
IIo attacked tbo constitutionality of the net ,
asserting that it amounted to a virtual taking
of property without duo process of
law , inasmuch as it compelled
them to outer into contractual relations with
other roads without their consent ; that the
road with which they would bo compelled to
do a joint rate business might bo nn Insolvent
ono and the company had no guarantee- that
the ears or the pro rain amount of freight
charges would bo returned. Attorney Gen
eral Stone in answer held that the slatuto
was constitutional Inasmuch as It was merely
an oxorrlso of the police power of regulating
the method in which certain classes of rail
road business should bo done ; that the rail
roads as common carriers had Implledly
assumed to subject themselves to legislative
action and must do as the legislature re
quired ; that the right they had to receive a
reasonable compensation was secured to
them under the statute and they were not
compelled to do business without profit as n
remedy was provided. To tbo claim that the
joint rates might coin pell railway companies
to enter into contractual relation with
Insolvent companies , V. Stone replied
that by fair Implication such was not the
meaning or Intention of the statute , and the
courts would nlford the proper relief. It Is
not expected the supreme court will grant a
rehearing , and It is said the case will go to
the United States supreniu court.

The Olivet Presbyterian church was bril
liantly lighted Thursday evening , and sitting
among the profuse lloral decorations were
fully 000 people , mostly young iVest End
couples says the Louisville Courier-Journal.
It bad bcon announced that Miss Lula Gard
ner and Mr. William Babbitt would bo mar
ried nt 8 o'clock. The hour for the ceremony
approached and passed , but neither tlio brldo
nor the groom made an appearance. The as
semblage became impatient , nnd at ! ) o'clock |
tlioy came to the conclusion that the mar
riage would not take place , und all left disap
pointedly for their homes.
The strange actions of the young couple
naturally caused a great deal of talk , and all
sorts of speculations were indulged in , but
the true story , which is u very mysterious
one , is still unknown to these who waited nt
the church. The you man and woman , it was
generally known , had bcon engaged for .somo
time , nnd their marriage was expected. Last
week they approached Kov. .1. W. Iloyer of
the Olivet church , and asked him to marry
thorn at his homo. The arrangements were
nil made , nnd Mr. Boyer waited at his resi
dence on the appointed evening for two hours
but the couple ifld not put In an appearance.
Tuesday morning Miss Gardner , who was a
popular member of West End souiulv , failed
on the preacher and said that tiiey had con
cluded to marry on Tuesday evening. As
uofore , the preparations were made nnd a
number of Intimate friends were invited to
bo present , but again at the appointed hour
neither of the principals appeared. This
was another disappointment , nnd none of
their friends wcro able to make an explana
tion.
tion.Mr.
Mr. Bovcr also thought the actions of the
young couple strange , but the grnpiii-olcct
called upon him Wednesday morning and
said that ho and his Intended bride hud con
cluded not to marrv in private , but wanted to
invlto all their friends to the Olivet Presby
terian church and make their marriage a
swell atT.itr. Thursday evening was set for
the time , and the Janitor was told to make
every preparation. Miss Gardner lived with
her aunt , Mrs. Pulliam , and she had made
every preparation to give the young bride a
reception. Wednesday evening she left the
house , tolling Mrs. Pulliam that she intended
spending the night with a friend. Thursday
morning she did not return , nnd as evening
approached the family became uneasy , as the
bridal costume was at tbo house , and only a
few minutes remained before the wedding
was announced to take place. In the mean
tlmo the crowd , numbering probably two
hundred , as ono of these present said , assem
bled at the church , and after n long waiting
turned reluctantly away.
Mr. Babbitt and Miss Gardner nro both
well known in the neighborhood. The
strangest part of the whole affair is said to
1)0 ) that there was not the slightest objection
on cither side. Had there been , the friends
of both say their action might have boon
natural , except the public announcement
; bat the ceremony would bo at the chinch ,
Mrs Pulliam said that she could not account
Tor what thoyt had done. She did not know
where Babbit lived , and bis name could not
bo found in the directory. On Wednesday
afternoon ho called at the house , but did not
say that he had changed his mind about mar
rying at thu church. Mrs. Pnllinm , though
she says .sho has no special reason for believ
ing it. Is of the opinion that the youiiL' people
nt last concluded that tltoy would not marry
In public , nnd that they either wont to Joffor-
sonvillo or were quietly married by some
Drencher In this city. However , she has
icard nothing from her niece , and will bo In
anxiety until she doos. Their friends also
hink that they are now married In the city ,
but tboy are very anxious to hoar from thorn

DIMII MT.I ) WITH INDIAN'S.
Dr. Arthur Greaves of Boston , who for the
last ton years has been an active inembur of
eastern societies formed in aid of the red
men , arrived in tills yesterday after ono
year's ' active missionary work among tl
Indians. In an interview last evening
( Ireaves said : "I've worked lilo nn apostle
of olden times with the Indians and bavo 10-
tired from missionary work for good. West
ern Indians know moro than most people of
Boston nnd are as crafty as veteran detect
ives. For years 1 pitioil them , for I thought
they had been treati-d shamefully and woru
Innocent nnd ignorant. They know comM *
crablo. 1 would tell them blolo stories at
Kosobud agency nnd they would listen atten
tively. When I had finished they would got
together mid guy mo mniieivifully. When
I was with thu Sioux chief , Ued Cloud , ho
said I ecu Id i 'akc ' * a hundred In
dians happy by getting our society to
send out fifty plows nnd other farming im
plements , I col people at homo Interested in
the matter and they shipped mo two car
loads of tools. These wort ; distributed to In
dians , who appeared overjoyed with the
prospect of having thu means uf tilling tin
soil. Shortly afterIhU I went further we.it
fora monib , and when I returned I ioul-l : ml
llnd any of the implements sent out. After
diligent search it was discovered that the In
dians had pitched them all into White I-IV.T
and made a bridge of them , The costly
tools sent out for farming purpoios wiiro
used as you would stones , nnd the brltlpo
across tlio little river wa < all the coed that
those implements accomplished , Tluslscnti
instance , nnd thorn are ninny similar. Al
this time 1 began to loto faith in tbo sincerity
displayed by the Indians , and subsequent
events proved to mo that an Indian rould
only hu an Indian. "
"Tho best way to solve the Indian prob
lem , " iiaid Dr. Craves in conclusion , "Is not
to bother with it at all. l.oavti tho.mrutur 10
the western noople and tlioy would iroal the
red man fairly and keep him In his place , At
the sumo time eastern philanthropists wlo
meddle with the affairs of which , tney Imvo
no accurate knowledge do moro burin than
good. " ATKI.VSOX.
