WASHINGTON GOSSIP
Correspondence Democrat.
The Washington,D.C. Feb. 8 fch, 1884.—
Republican press is Idled with ar
f*®}* denuuciary of the Morrison tariff
^ ^“itw vtry accommodating
memories to have so soon forgotten ad
that was done by the last Republican
Congress and the present Republican
.President. It certainly would appear
ui
and President, that the party and pres?
would be estopped by any such denim
ciation. It will bt Temefnbered that
the Congress refeired to, backed by
their President, passed a bill providing
for a Tariff Commission to be composed
of nine non-partizans, wuo were to
carefully consider the subject, collate
ail the facts and present a schedule of
import duties, fair and honorable alike
to producers and consumers. Congress
passed the bill. President Arthur up
proved it and appointed the nine com
missioners, selecting among the nurn
her one of his trusted lieutenants, who
served under him while he was collec
tor of the port of New York. That
commission roamed up and down the
country, visited every principal city
and the prairies of the great west,made
their report, and in the light of sur
rounding events their report should
have been adopted. But after doilging
and dallying the whole scheme was set
upon. Now Mr. Morrison has simply
attempted iu his bill to regulate duties
to about tlie scale agreed to by this re¬
publican commission. Mr. Morrison is
simply offering the Republican party its
own medicine and they should be com¬
pelled to take it, and it will prove ac¬
to the people.
Among the measures
Congress to which very little attention
in tlie past seems to have been .paid,
but one of incalculable interest to the
people, is the bill offered in the House
by the lion. P. A. Tulley, of Califor¬
nia, to present the use* of the mails in
advertising noxioui medicines and com¬
pounds. From tue medical fraternity,
from Maine to California, the meas¬
ure meets unqualified approval, and the
people will endorse it when its proviD
ions rre fully known. If paseed, it will
prevent the murder of thousands illl
tiually who die from the effects of the
quack preparotions with which the
country is flooded. Mr. Tulley is en¬
titled to the thanks of the people foi
irs eminently practical measure. In
fact, his sound good ;judgmedt on a'l
questions, as weU as lbs eminent
abiliiy has already given Iiim
him prominence in Congress; and won
tor him high respect and esteem from
both sides of tho House.
By some hocus-pocus process known
to our friends of the Pacific coflst, per¬
haps from the heathen Cniuee, Califor¬
nia seethed, in the lasrJCongreSs, of her the
imposition of duties on two
great productions, which amount to
llie actual prohibition of their ■ mporta
tiou. We refer to borax aud quick
silver ; and to-day the soap manufac¬
tures a lid others who use borax, aud
the artists, scientists, and manufac¬
tures who use quicksilver, are pounding
at tlie boms or Congress and asking
tiiat Urey be relieved of trie burden ol
these ittiqnties. This legislation by
Congress which imposes a burden upon
ob,0<J0,0d0 people to make a few men
1 ieli is beneath the contempt of stales
meii. • The greatest good for the great
number,’' should be tne motto of our
law makers.
There are quite a number of Repub¬
lican as well as Democratic boo oriels

a Washington view about in the foliow

Tlie Mississippi River Convention,
wliicb had been in session from Tues
q ay f asCi adjourned yesterday after a
V e>-y harmonious sitting. The eonven

knowledge of parliamentary law, aud
fine ability as a presiding officer, lie
dispatched business and
f ur himself the enthusiastic piaise of

convention, assembled with a oneness
0 j- iml p 0 .,e, discarding buncombe and
ge L t.ing squarely down to business witb
out attitudinizing or making any at
tempt at show or display. The resolu
t ions adopted are eminently busin&»
q^e aud practical. They clearly sev
foith the needs of the great west trav

Les, and demand of Congress liberal
appropriations for the .improvement, of

The President held liis first public
reception of tho season on Tuesday

An interesting and at the same time
somewhat awkard, question has arisen
out ot the operrtiona of the civil ser¬
vice law. A vacancy occurred in the
Navy Department and tho Civil Ser¬
vice Commission certified four persons
to Secretary Cbaudler t com which to
select one for appointment. The exam¬
ination papers of tho persons certified
were also Submitted for inspection,
and all in accordance with the law and
rules. The Secretary returned the pa¬
pers to the commission with the state¬
ment that lie was convinced upon an
examination of the papers that all of
the four persons were unfitted fer the
work to he performed. The question
now is, what is to.he done under the
circumstances, no provision- having
been made for such a contingency, it
is said that Commissioner of Internal
Revenue Evans, when a vacancy oe
’•cat 3 in his bureau, places the nanr at
trie persons certified tdhiui by th ef’om
mission, on slips of in a hat,
shekes them up, turns Ins hack and
draws a name lor appointment.
