and Masters Of Road Wilson and Brad
shaw have gone to Pinkerton, and will
at. once begin building a temporary
track, which will nc completed in two
weeks, around the tunnel. The loss to
the railroad company is very heavy.

! WASHINGTON, d. c., Dec. l.
Having been for some time a reads
Of your valua BILE journal l have imag
insd that few lines from the seat Q
government, would not prove unaccep
table to your many readers. The open
ing scenes in the National Congress to-
day were without special interest. Th'
galleries were Of course crowded. Quit
number Of the members had elsgan
boquettss placed on their desks by ad
miring friends. The opening of th'
session waa, II you pardon the remark
more "fowery" than anything else
The impression among the members
generally is that the session will bs 4
one, that not much legislative will b.
done, but that each party will be KEEP
busy watching the other,> and taking
up as good a position as possible for the
Presidential year.
TINS President sent q number Of nom
nations to the Senate to-day among
which was that Of Secty. Of War George
W. McCrsry to be W. S. Judge 9Th cir
cult. Ex Senator Ramsay who is to
succeed Secty. McCrary is in tho city.
Judge Kelley of Philadelphia las the
following resolution ready, which he
will try and get in to-day or tomorrow,
Resolved, "That it is the sense Of the
house that the negotiation Of the exso-
u.ive department of the government of
4 commercial treaty, whereby the rates
Of duty to BE- imposed on foreign COM
modities entering the United States for
consumption should be fixed, would in
view OF the provision of section l
article l, Of the constitution of the
United States, be an infraction of the
constitution and an invasion OF one Of
the highest prer,gatives of the House
of Representatives.. The statement
which has gotten around that Senator
Book was seriously injured by his
morse falling upon him, is very much
exaggerated. H. was injured some lit
tie but is entirely we'll again.
The Presidents Message is quite
lengthy, and in it he reviews the"Civil
Service" and advocates reformation.
But you Messrs. Editors perhaps know
that "Civil Service" if reformed, needs
a reformation in those who exercise ex
scutive authority, and yet strange as it
may Seem the idea never seems to strike
them in that light.
The wedding of tho winter will bs

OF Philadelphia, to Mr.. Walter Jay

cence Of the presents. The Bridal
Toilet which comes from "Worth" in
Paris, is to be of white satin trimmed
with pointe and is to be clasped at

buckles set with superb diamonds.
And yet people talk of not being able
"to make ends meet.

esting to your readers, I will give you

Civil Service Reform.

A correspondent writing from Wash.
iugton says: Regret is expressed by
Rspu blicans ind Democrats that in that
part of the message referring to the re-.
form of the civil service the Presiden,
made no mention Of the proposal now
before Congress to give to membArs OF
the Cabinet seats in both Houses and
the right to participate in debate. 1t
is clan med by the friends Of this meas
urs that one of its most important re-
suits would be the purifcation OF the
civil servics, because the heads OF de-
partments could then be openly inter-
rogat,d concerning abuses and would
ba forced to make public answers and
the attention of the country could thus
be- fixed upon the misuse Of the civil
service for pa, tissn purposes. Itwould
give a vigilant m nority the power
to effectually expose to the country
that Interference Of oftioe-holders In
politics which the President rightly re-
CARDS as dangerous, and OF which 1t was
shrewdly said here not long ago that
the power and influence Of the army Of
otioe-ho holdsrs has become 80 great that
those opposed to them need to have a
two. thirds majority to begin with be-
fore they hope to carry an election. He
meant that one third of the voters, plus
the power Of the ofice-holders when
these engaged actively In politics., is
equal to two thirds Of the voters opposed
to them. The friends Of Mr.. Pendl,-
toms bill to give Catinet Ministers
seats on the floor Of the two houses to-
day urged him to bring forward that
measure as soon as possible. 1t will
have support from both sides Of the
Senate, and there is hope Of an inter.
eating debate on it during the session.
