Washington letter. (From our Regular Correspondent.) Washington, D. C., Aug 30th 1889. There is a great clamor on the part ol the various Slate Republican associatioi of Washington for “recognition.” Dur ing this week meetings have been belt! by the associations and plans considered tor rousting the enemy. The members in no measured terms denounce (lie re tail ion of the turn-coat republicans, v. ho either went over to the enemy dur ing the Cleveland administrate n,, 01 else maintained a masterly inactivity, These State associations are of necessity constituted of government clerks and inasmuch as most of these organizations died during the Cleveland administra tion and were only reorganized after the last election, it appears amusing to see l he members pose as martyrs and lick imaginary wounds. In the terse slang of the street, ihe heads of departments are “on to” these associations, They are generally conducted by a clique ol i our or five and are rarely representa live of the employees of the State they claim to represent. This was true of even the boasted New York Democratic Association of Mr. Cleveland’s adminis tration, which has but a short popular ity and was speedily know as the “Al lans Association.” a mime given it by “Sunset” Cox, who may be said to have had nis own personal and private c > 11 - victions concerning the friends of Mr. C leveland who had known him in Al bany and "dio cut such a wide swath here for a year or so. Ail this rage of the associations is due to personal disappointments. After the hist election, two thirds of the republi can Holdovers, hundreds of whom were Iron) doubtful states like New York and wlo failed to go home and vote, expect ed nothing less than tobe chiefs or assis t mt. chiefs of divisions. Hundreds tal 1 - i'd vaguely of gel ting paid for suffer ings and services by appointment to pla ces in some other department; That these things have not been done is a great and sore disappointment. Men who have not been home to vote for ten years and who have never paid one dol lar of political assessments since Mr. Cleveland’s inauguration, expect pro motion purely on political grounds. Sympathy for them is wasted. Even to the victor belong the spoils and depart mental clerkships belong arming the spoils, it goes without saying that peo ple who had nothing to do with the vic tory except wait for it, are not entitled to the spoils. The President has been invited by Miss Clara Barton to visit the Red Cross headquarters at Jolintown, Pennsylva nia, and will probably comply before his return from Deer Park. Later in the season probably during the extra session of Congress an effort will be made to secure a visit of representative legislators to ! the scene of the Johnstown disaster. Predident Harrison is one of the members of the Red Cross Associa tion being president of the board of con sultation while the Secretary of War and tiie Secretary of t he/freasury are the trustees of the association, This arrange ment lias existed since 1882. Miss Clara Barton president of the as sociation is a familiar figure in Wash ington where her enthusiasm, courage and organizing ability have long been recognized. She is a woman whose whole life is sacredly devoted to succor ing tiie victims of war and disaster. Valter P. Philips general manager of 5 lie United Press, is secretary and Geo, K . nan the eminent Siberian traveler ,:md magazine contributor, is treasurer. i <i gress will be asked, at the next ses i mi. to establish headquarters for the •>; >nal Red Cross in this city.

Our fanner friends may rest assured that no > ffi tt to frighten them from their pur P' u to whip the trust will be spared. V- believe the alliance men understood, when they begun the fight that it would n 1 be sue e si'ul under the directi' n of fb dd souls. The fight is one of coir.

But i* is a fight for life and the otton growers of the south cannot give it, up. England must have our cot ton and if she cannot get it in jute she vs ill take It in cotton covering. The tl ht will cost something but its cost will be n< tiling as compared with the ul timate cost of submission. Let the watchword and battle cry of the farmers of the South he “victory at any tempo rary cost” and they must win.—Ex A small boy has defined a reporter as “one who knows a thing before it hap pens.” SCHLEY COUNTY NEWS.
