NEw YoRK, Jan. 10, 1913.
One Of the most disgraceful acts that ever
distinguished faction, occurred at Washington
few days prior to the utering Of the report OF
the Committee Of Ways and Means in reference
TO the Exchequer bill.
IL is a somewhat roundabout way, TO be sure
TO get facts before the public, that transpire at
Washington, TO send this from New York TO
the American Metropolis but, as there are OBJ
stacles here in the way Of free communication
and as the fact | wish to get to the world is inn
ponant, send it TO you-and here state il.
The night before the Committee of Ways
and Means was to report on the Exchequer bill,
caucus of the Wings was held, and the
subject was taken up for considera lon.
After consultation and debate had been had
it was found that there was a strong and de.
termned disposition, on the part Of the Wings
to report fayorably and to vote in favor Of the
bill. Indeed there was a majority OF the eau
Gus in favor Of such an issue. In the midst oil
this state of feeling, il was urged by unprinci
Piled leaders that il the bill found a favorable
it would at once insure the popularity Of the
Administration, and facilitate the prosperity OF
the President This, Of itself, in all probability
would have been enough to damn the bill, and
secure the defeat Of the Exchequer scheme
but other aids were called in to consummate the
unprncipled baseness Of the Wings.
To complete the work Of inquty, letter,
written as it is said by Mr. Clay, dated al
Natchez, was read in which il was urged that
Congress ought TO linger on till the 4th Of
March, do nothing for the country, and thus, by
applying the screws to the whole commerce
and business oil the nation rouse it to indigna-
ton toward the President, aud thus aid the
towering ambition of the Kentucky Candidate
for the Presidency
My sources Of information are correct and
authentic, and the facts here stated cannot be
denied by the Wings in Congress
But for the acts Of the Wing Caucus. the
Committee Of Ways and Means would have re-
ported the Exchequer bill, on the basis of the
scheme pres nted by the Executive; it would
have been taken up in the House and been
adopted by the votes OF the ID mocrats, aided
by the beral Wings
These facts are Of too much consequence to
the People of The United States, to be kept back
and they should be heralded to the world. that
the citizens Of the United States may know
how it is that they are imposed upon and sad
died with embluassments Of the most distress
sing and blasting nature.
There cannot be found in this city, or among
the whole commercial classes Of the city, fifty

French spoliations. wrote to nearly every member

SCHOOL IN THE DIS


TRICT OF COLUMBIA
At meeting of Washngton's Manual Labor
School and Mail Orphan Asylum Society, held on
the 18th instant it was
Resolved That it is expedent TO renew the effort to
increase the subscription heretofore commenced and
that Messrs. p. W. Gallaudet and J. McClelland IN
connection with Mr. Knight, the financial agent OF
the society, be committee to solicit subscriptions
and donations in the District Of Columbia.
The plan of this institution is to receive orphan
and other destitute boys aid give them subsistence,
and educate them thoroughly in the science and prac
tice of agriculture therefore farm must be pur-
chased and suitable buildings erected 1t is estima-
ted that fifteen thousand dollars will be sufficient
A part of this sum has accrued from sales of the
Monuments of Washington's Patriotism subscrip-
ton has been obtained of about five hundred dollars
and the proceeds of the remaining copies of the ork
which are expected to be sold in the course of few
months WILL in the aggregate, amount to nearly five
thousand dollars.
An appeal is made to the public for additional
means to purchase farm and put the school into
operation by the first of April next; and the COM
mittee feel conhdenqthat every one who will take into
consideration the benefits it will confer too much
neglected class of the community; who has intel
lgence to appreciate the be nefts which the country
a, large will derive from having class of men SO
educated is proposed by this institution, will give
it his liberal aid. Regarded model school, il be-
comes an object of interest to the whole Union, and
has a claim all for the means to establish it
while citizens should view il as important in
stituton for the District
The committee will enter Immediately on the duty
assigned them Many, they trust, will not wait to
be called upon and it is hoped that each and every
appeal will meet with cheerful and hearty response

TEXAS AND THE UNITED STATES.

The subject of the annexation OF Texas TO the
United States begins attract mnch attention, and
many persons already appear to have made up their
minds that sooner later such union will most GER
tainly be consummated conversing with friend few
days ago, the subject of Commodore Jones recent
coup de main upon California, expressed this sen-
ment Upon which he told us he had a very inte-
resting letter from distinguished member OF Con-
grcss placing the policy of the annexation of Texas
to the United States in a very striking and imposing
point of view; which, if he could obtain his consent

Hon. Thos w. Gilmer, late Governor OF Virginia,
which will be found below We need not invite at

with vi to affect any political party, we invite
for it that candid and dlspassonate consideration
which the importance Of the subject fully entities

DEAR SrR Upon your renewed request, cannot,
with justice any longer withhold from you my certi-
6cate of confidence in the efficacy Of the Life Pre-
server as a cure for hoarseness and cough
In the fall Of 1910 was much exposed TO night
air, and often took cold, which was attended by
boarseness and slight cough, wtbou, fever or much
other indisposition In December was scarcely ev-
free from this complaint, and during the early part
Of the next February was never without some de-
gree of boarscness cough until dcsparing of the
sufiicicpcy Of Pease's Hoarhound Candy and com
mon remedies, was induced to make trial Of your
Life Preserver. Before the middle Of March last,
the use Of your medicine seemed TO be the great
Of relief from the boarsouoss and slight cough
which had so long annoyed me, and which all the
Usual remedies had failed to remove.
II any ono be led 10 make the experiment, as
did so happily Of The offered good, he will al least
find in il as pleasant and harmless physc as can be
administered in the mode prescribed by you.
