OUR WASHINGTON LETTER
WASHINGTON, April IS, 1873.

w ASllINGTON, Aprll 10, 1913.
The weather is dark, cold and gloomy.
The rains during the past three days
have been anything but agreeable. Mails
to and from Washington have been very
irregular.
1t is hoped that there are no postmas-
ters in your vicinity who have been gen
erous enough to send any money through
the mail to the address Of Rev. J. Hale
Barney, Washington. He, the party who
it is supposed represents the would be
Reverend, has been arrested by our de-
tectives, and held for hearing to an
swer to charges Of forgery and getting
money under false pretenses.
The people here are anxiously waiting
the telegraphic reports from the lava
beds that the Modoc massacre has been
avenged. Captain Jack and his imme-
date allies are the ones vengeance is
sworn upon. 1t is true that it is thought
if the Modoc tribe is allowed to go un-
punished other Indian tribes, not salts
fed with the way Uncle Sam has treated
them, will be encouraged to take up arms
against us, and the whole frontier bor-
ders will in that case be fields of carnage
and bloodshed. Already kilograms are
received from our people in the different
parts OF the Indian country asking the
protection Of the strong arm of the Gov
ernment. Rest assured the Government
is aroused to the necessity of immediate
action in the matter, and if it is ascer-
tanned that the recent murder of General
Candy and Commissioner Thomas ex-
cites other tribes to ignore recent treaties,
all necessary military force will be trans
ported to the scene of the conflict.
According to resolution of the Senate,
the Committee appointed by virtue of it,
will meet in October next, with view of
determining the best method of electing
President and Vice President. 1t is
thought that the committee will recon-
mend the abolition of the Electoral Col
lege, and will suggest substitute for it
There certainly can be no reason now
why the President should not be elected
by the popular vote.
The advancement of the age is indi
Gated by recent circular issued by the
woman's club" of this city and circu

questions, tariff and anti-tariff, protection
and free trade, as viewed by the disciples
of different schools, many of whom are
located in this city for the purpose of
writing up public sentiment from their
respective standpoints meanwhile the ex-
treme zealots of all schools of theorists
find the hard facts impossible to co-ordin-
ate upon their cast-iron systems. A little
more modesty of speculation and little
more attention to actual facts would
greatly harmonic public sentiment upon
all these questions.
The strained effort for enhancement of
the gold premium is beginning to show
signs of exhaustion. 1t was manipulated
for the purpose of working upon the
nerves of Secretary Richardson who,
however, "don't scare worth a cent"
He still declines to reissue any of the
retired greenbacks. Meanwhile several
other put-up jobs in the market are be-
ginning to play out. The railroads, un-
der the pressure Of popular Indignation,
are beginning to back down from their
rascally rates Of tariff and reduction of
10 to 25 per cent. may be expected, to be
followed by still further reduction. II it
were made unlawful for these public
highways to dead-he any body their
increased receipts Of passenger traffic
would enable them to reduce their fares
considerably.
Philadelphia has gone into the export
trade Of locomotives with remarkable
energy. She's driving English locomo-
tives out Of the South American and Rus
sian markets. John Bull will not relish
the shipment of Yankee engines right
under his rubicund nose. Yet this is only
specimen Of the industrial prestige Of
our country in manufactures.
Many of those who underwent a com.
petitive examination nearly three weeks
since in the Treasury Department, are
still here from distance, anxiously
awaiting the results. So few compara-
lively OF those examined will receive ap-
pointments that it would seem like folly
to remain here at an expense. In few
days, there will be an examination in the
Interior Department. LIFE.

WHAT'S IN A NAME ?"-Since the
Sacramento Union WAS so completely
routed by Horace Adams, the Republican
nominee for Trustee at the recent city
election, it seems to have an utter abhor-
renee Of the name, and in its issue Of the
10Th attacks one Amos Adams, mem Der
Of a Sacramento Farmers Club, because
he had the audacity to introduce resolu-
ton asking why work had not been com
mcnced on the Branch State Prison in that
county. AS usual the Union accuses poor
" farmer" Adams with doing this d" to
please the railroad company" although
what that company has to do with the
Branch State Prison does not appear.

Poor Pixlcy! Poor Chronicle! You
want to assist in electng Governor Booth
to the United States Senate. But the
Sacramento Union people say that Gov
ernor Booth belongs TO them that they
own him tooth and toe-nail that they
intend to elect him themselves not be-
cause he is n Republican; not because he
II honest; not because he is competent
not because he is more acceptable TO the
people than any other man: but because
he will do their bidding; because he will
oppose the Central Pacific Railroad Com
pany right or Wrongj and because he
will do nothing else. And thereby hangs
tale. Just rs long as Governor Booth
hangs to the tail of such a one-idea-ed, :,
senseless, prejudiced, bigoted advocate as
the Sacramento Union, just SO long will
the Republican party refuse to accept
him as its candidate. As the nominee OF
the Republican party, Governor Booth
cannot be defeated. As the servile tool
aud abject slave Of the Sacramento UnjOi,
ne cannot be elected. We draw on the
UIionS vocabulary for our adjectives.

Ifo,c DO Yncy Find the Uuya

A few weeks ago an account was given
of a dog that had been carried seven hum
dred miles somewhere in The West, but not
liking the place, alone, guided by faculty
unknown to man, he footed his way to his
old loved home without making inquiries
consulting a gude-board, or travelling out
of the way. at the rate of nearly hundred
miles each day.
An old horse, purchased of farmer III
Vermont many years since, was shipped at
Scabrook. Conn. with others, to the West
Indies, for grinding cane. y storm oc-
curing in Long Island Sound, the deck
horses were washed overheard, and sup
posed to have been lost. The old Vermont
er however, reached land i'll the darkness
of a stormy night, and finally was found
standing az the barn-door of his old home.
The horse had never been from the town
till sold. therefore could not have been ia
miliar with the way.
Car1ier-pgeons perform feats as swift
messengers through the air, because they
are i'll a hurry to reach home. However
far they may be carried, confined in bas-
kets, they invariably speed their way with
out ever resting on their voyage till they
reach the place dear to their affections.
In 1919. with view to ascertain their
speed. a pigeon was carried from Antwerp
to London, and there liberated. The bird
was at its cote, having flown one hundred
and eighty miles in straight line, in just
six hours.
Horses, mules, dogs cats, and all the
migrating birds, find their way home as un-
erIingly as the carlier-pigeon does but
how they do it is beyond our ken. Some
imagine birds see teiescopically one or two
hundred miles when high in the air, and
over the tops of mountains. But the the
DRY throws no light upon the movements of
mule that fonnd his home in Brazil
hundreds of miles over a region where man
could hardly move, having neither path
to follow, nor companion to lead the way.
Science therefore, has something more 10
do to clear up this mystery.
A writer III the ''Quarterly Review ad-
vances the theory that they have a GER
tain sense oc magnetic currents, sUfficinG
to afford them a sort of internal mariner ;
compass marking the direction in which
they travel We know that the magnetic
currents affects the needle, and the hypo-
thesia llat they may also effect living
frames with special organizations seems no
way incredible while the fact that a dog,
who can find his own way for hundred
miles in the open country, may lose it in
five hu"d.cd yards ina town, seems topoiut
to the multitude of streets turning at right
angles aa the cause of confusion to n sense
which sinlply indicates a straight direction

come so much affected with nervousness
that when they stretched out their hands
they shook like aspen leaves on windy days,
and by daily moderate use of the blanched
foot stalks of the celery leaves rs salad,
they became as strong and steady ia limbs
as other people. I have known others so
very nervous that the least annoyance put
them in a state Of agitation, who were in
almost constant IerpleXity and fear, and
who were eifectually cured by a daily mod
