most insignificant when the cost of
the enterprise is considered. The

the cost of the undertaking is

Washington Letter.
From our Regular Correspondent

WAsHIyGToN, d. c.. Feb. 90, 1892.
CONGRESS has been shaking
things up rather lively for 4 week
past and several important matters
have been practically disposed of.
Among these are Mr.. Ednuna's
Mormon bill in the Senate and
the apportionment bill in the
House. The latter as finally per
fected is the fairest apportionment
measure ever passed and is as ab
soiutely Impartial as it is possible
to make it. Any partisan who
complains of it would growl il he
were going to be hung. The only
states losing member are three
Republican States Maine, Yer
mont and New Hampshire, while
the gains are almost equally dis
tributed. The question of divid-
ing Dakota and admitting the
southern. part into the Union is
favorably settled so far as the
committee is concerned and the
indications are that it viii pass.
Some Democrats oppose it on po-
litical grounds, but l have not
found a single opponent among
the majority.
There is general howl in army
circles over the late appointments
of Observation-Disclosures and Pay
master-General, in which the hand
OF Arthur was visible but the
voice of Grant was audible. Gen
eral Sheridan has been industri-
ously log-rolling for his fatheF-in-
law for the last six months, bu,
his jolly. commonplace face looks
trihe less satisfied now than a
week ago at the prospect of the
fight that is to he made in the
Senate over General Fuckers nom
ination, in which several Senators
will take occasion to wound Cen
eral Fuckers feelings cruelty
