WE. THE people.

The greatness Of Washington, Jefferson
and Adams who were among the most illus.
trious representatives Of the spirit OF '76,
was not 40 clearly manifested by their ncts
@ warriors and statesmen ne II wns by the
one act OF their lives, when they laid aside
the insignia OF Office, stepped ont among
ciiizens ns peers among peers and ncknowl-
elged the supremacy Of the people. Not
cvery man who has rode trumphantly on
the crest OF the wave OF popular fovor,the
observed Of all observers, an idol of favor,
has no fm gained the mastery Of his situa-
ton ns 10 lay aside all ambitious motives
and lose sight of himself again among the
masses that go TO make up great and free
people. Most men feel as il they were
lifted above the vulgar mass when they are
elected Presidents and Governors, and swel
with emotions OF unwonted pride and self
congratulation. But few men feel rs II
the highest place which any one can occupy,
NJ matter how great his attachments or
his gains may be, is to be citizen, simple
and pure among his fellow citizens, who
understand their rights and know how 10
maintain them. Such people in their ca
pacity Of citizens, stand on lofty emil
nence far above that which can fall To the
lot OF any one man or any set of men. OF
such people, inspired with the spirit OF
liberty, looking after the welfare of eacr
however humble he may be, it may truly
be said, "Vox populi, vox DEL" But tive,
the people" need to be looking carefully
after our laurels for there are very large
bodies Of people OF whom il cannot be said,
. The voice of the people is the voice of
God" The only voice any white or black
man or man OF any other color is bound to
respect is a voice that demands justice and
mercy. We, the people," have one es-
pecial job on hand, and that is TO remove
all wrongs, no matter who the wrong doers
are nor how specious their crimes. Thieves
and robbers cannot hide in community
that utters the voice OF tiod. God calls
every disturber OF the pence to an account
through the voice Of the people. The law
makers and the executives are the servants
of the people. The people elect them-tl.e
people pay them. They are accountable o
the people. II they are not faithful and

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER
wAsHINeroN. d. c., Jan. "a, 's1.


The appropriation bills areiin so for
ward condition that many anticipate mn
early disposition OF all,necessary business
before Congress. The House las passed
the more importnnt supply bills, and the
Post Office, District of Columbia, the legis
lative and executive, the sundry civil, the
deficiency, the river and harbor, and the
agriculture appropriations are almost
ready for action. The Senate is also at
work industriously, with the evident pur-
pose OF keeping up with the House.
But those who count upon an early close
of public business, and no extra session, be.
cause OF the present outlook are not ac-
qnainted with the ways OF Congress. Yeu
cannot tell whether there will be required
an extra session until the very hour when
the present session ends. We have known
instances where all the business has been
completed except some minor points in an
appropriation bill, and yet with plenty of
time, the bill has failed, and an extra
session must be called. So, now, no one
need be surprised to learn finally that
something has failed and that President
Garfield will be obliged to call the new
Congress together ut once.
Speculation is still rife as 10 the politi-
cal effect OF an extra session. The House
is conceded to be Republican, and if TINT
party conciiate the Greenbackers, their
majority may be twelve to fifteen. Mr..
Frye has practically withdrawn from the
combat for Speaker because he anticipates
taking Senator Blaine's seat when that
gentleman goes into the new Cabinet. The
more prominent Republican candidates for
Sr aker now, are Hiscock, of New York 7;
Burrows, OF Michigan; and Dunnell, Of
Minnesota, with the apparent advantage
with Mr.. Burrows, on account OF his lsca
tion. There is strong feeling in favor OF
the Speakership going West, as il has been
held East Tor fifteen years.
Senator Allision, of Iowa, has returned
from Mentor, where he had conference
with the new President. He snys little
but appears to be happy over the outlook
Many interpret this TO mean that he will
be Garfeld's Secretary Of the Treasury but
there are are others who think that Mr.
Allison wants his friend, James F. Wilson
OF Iowa, to have that position.
An effort is being made TO have lhs
House Committee report the Eads' shir
railway bill without the Govern ment en-
dorsenicni of interest. But thiy will moi
be done, probably. By the terms Of lls
Mexican grant 10 Capt Eads il ,he United
States do not see fit to endorse his plan hs
can go TO any other foreign power, and il
il well known that Great Britain will &C
cepl his terms with thanks knowing til,
great value of his railway project, and i
IL not likely that this Congress will Civ,
him the cold shoulder.
The fashionable season has set in vigor
ously. The President and Mrs. Hayes re
ceplions nre more generally attended thar
ever before, and the foreign ministers ane
their ladies are vieing with each other il
the elegance of their enterts sinments, whicl
+ are more widely enjoyed than in forme
years. Tom.

The consolidation of the three great

The result will he more telegraph lines
