GAMBErTA's great speech has created
q profound impression all over the
French republic. The programme Of
the party, as he lays it down, is en-,
dorsed by the republican press gener'
ally, but the Catholic journals denouncs
It in all the strength of language. They
consider it 4 declaration Of war on
Catholicism. Inasmuch as Gambetta's
leading principle is that all citizens
shall first render military service be-
fore pursuing any other vocation in
life, 1t does seem as a special drive at
the priesthood. This agitation will
serve to renew the devotion of church
haters to their party, and embitter the
opposition to an extent that may pro-
woke them to deeds that will react
against them, and that is what Gam
beta and his conductors want.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. II, 1875

WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan. II, 1878.
Investigation appears to be still the
order of the day in Congress. We who
make no pretensions to understanding the
intricacies Of politics look on with dread
and wonder that so much precious time
and money should be spent in ferreting out
abuses and NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS., the ex-
posure of which have Heretofore resulted
in so little good. Somebody has aptly said
concerning such matters, Congressional
Investigations are one sided. Friends of
the majority are always whitewashed and
its opponents always blackened, be the
facts what they may. They are not car
ried on effectually. Congressional Com
mittees are not seeking truth, but political
thunder. The result might have been
foreseen-no one is convinced. The people
have no confidence in the evidence, and
look, in nine cases out of ten, on the pub
lie officer exposed as person prosecuted
for opinions sake"
The shelves of the libraries of the House
and Senate and numbered up with tons of
records of Investigations which are never
used-unconsulted and utterly useless they
will eventually go to the paper mill and
the peoples Treasury will never be richer
for them than the price of waste paper
will make it. And yet when the country
is groaning and suffering for business legis-
lation, the House Of Representatives is
just beginning a new string of investiga-
tions which begin in nothing and lead to
nowhere-but to expense and dissatisfac-
tion. Here are some facts from the annual
report of the Secretary of the Senate re-
garding the expenditures for investigations
instituted by the. 44th Congress. Your
readers know what the result of them
amounted to, but here is what they cost
the government Boutwell's investigation
into the election of 1875 in Mississippi, cost
$6,S31. The Chinese Commission which
went to San Francisco in 1876, but never
made report, cost $4,Ss3. The Monetary
Commission and Jones' Silver report, cost
$4,000. The Investigations into the last
Presidential election were made at cost
500, 212.S4. And here is where portion
of the peoples money goes. In the sum-
mers Of 1876 and 1877 the Senate drank
$1,595 worth of lemonade. Pinchback
was paid $40 $685. for contesting his seat

Soft Soap as a Weapon.

The most memorable cleaning that
ever was done with soft soap was when
1t cleaned out u band Of savages. "Soft
soap was first most efIectually employed
in the country by the Swedish women
who defended the old (log) Swedish
church below Philadelphia, before the
city was laid out. A friendly squaw
gave notice of an intended attack by the
Indians. The Scandinavian ladies were
boiling soap, and they at once concluded
TO convert the contents Of the kettle in
to ammunition of defense. They lifted
1t into the church, with firewood to
keep It hot AS the warriors began to
undermine the foundation they received
on their bare-backs spirited fire of the
terrible material, which in due time sent
them bowling into the wilderness. The
incident was related by participant,
who died in London at an advanced age.
She was granddaughter of theSwedish
burgher Suen Schulz.
In these days ladies use Labor Saving
Soap when they wish to remove the
dirt from clothes easily. 1t is as effective
as soft soap and much pleasanter for the
hands. ao
