CUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
WASHINGTON, May IS, 1885,


Talking to Member of Congress,
the other. day, l was astonished to
hear him give utterance in the most
vigorous language to the expression
that the government had become an
organized monopolist and robber. 1t
has become so bad, he said, that man
would rather have debt against any
body than against the United States.
If business men should dishonor
their promises, break their words, or
refuse to pay their just debt, as the
Government does continually, they
would be without credit or respect in
the community in which they live. A
case had just cone before the COM
mittee on claims (of which the gen
tIeman is member), and caused this
burst of indignation. He detailed it
10 me, and it is pretty hard. These
are the details in it breif: About 1872
there lived in Cincinnati, o., gentle
mas whom we will call PIatt He was
Young, ambitious, educated, rich, and
endowed with fine talents. He was
considered ohe of the most promising
men Of the whole West. At the out
break of the war he was led into tax
inc certain contracts for the Govern
ment. which he carried out with great
credit to all concerned. Under pecnl-
lar circumstances it so happened that
a body of soldiers were left without
supplies or stores of any kind. The
Government had failed to provide them
and this fraction of the army was near
" starved. To obtain aid from Con-
gress required months of time, and
the governor of the State had exhaust
ed his own funds. In this emergency
he appealed to the patriotism of this
Flatt. who, after receiving the assur-
ance of the State officially, that he
would be fully reimbursed by the
Government, put MS whole means
and fortune at their disposal, and car
ried the soldiers over the difficulty. |
But at the next session of Congress
it failed to make provision to REIN
burse him. The following Congress1
considered his case, but adjourned |
without an appropriation for his bene-
fit. Year after year, and term after
term followed, and still he was not
paid. He became a beggar at its
doors for its attention. His pursuits
were broken up, his life wrecked, and
still he plead for his own, for jus
tice, for right. A few years ago he
died in this city in poverty and OBJ
SECURITY, without friends or fortune, the
victim Of his own patriotism and OF
the country's cruelty. The claim now
comes before Congress again at the
instance of his heirs, but with no better
prospects now than ever. The very
name of the claim causes a laugh of
derision, and condemns. it unheard.
This story is true, though its minute
details, which only add to its grievieus
ness, are not given. ''And why is it
that Congress is SO unjust" | asked |
of the representative. ''Simply," he /
replied, s.because of demands" 1t is /
popular with demagogues to resist all
claims. They make speeches favor
ing economy and reform whenever a
claim is presented. They pass as
swatch-dogs of the treasury and |
get cheap reputation at home at the
expense of ruin to honest men. 1t is
astonishing how the people are de-
ceived by the word economy. -

The Guiteau Excspfions.

1t is quite evident, if the questions
and suggestions of Chief Justice Car
ter sre to be taken as any indication,
of the decision of the CoSfFt, that the
Hargufnents in support of tAe bill of
exceptions in the Gniteau case will
not save the assassin from the gallows.
Mr.. Reed had not concluded his argu-
ment, which all lawyers. who followed
it and who have examined his plea,
pronounce q good one, but the public
have little reason to fear that the
Presidents assassin will escape the
rope through any technicality of
the law. Mr.. Reeds chief points
are: First, that the courts of this dis
trict have no jurisdiction to try Quit
eau, because the President died in
New Jersey. Second, that the SEN
tence is void as the day of the execL-
ton was not fixed within thirty days
after the next term of the Supreme
Court of the district, as it is claimed
is required by law. Third, that Judge
Cox confused the jury by his charge.
SIlSl y uoIlCS Val CtAs WIZ ilICSiOSOis
is the most original man upon the dis
trict bench. He is man of great res
olution and unquestioned courage. If
he thought that the law required him
to declare the sentence against Cult
eau void, there is no man in the Unit
ed States who would be less deferred
by public clamor from performing what
ne might consider to be his duty
Those who know him best are well as
sured that if the Guiteau trial had
been conducted before him there would
not have been so much complaint at
the laws delay, for he would have
brushed away much of the rubbish
from the case and would have required
Guiteau at least to have kept his seat
IN the dock, gagged. The questions
which Chief Justice Carter asks Mr..
Reed seem to indicate that his mind is
made up at least upon the question of
jurisdiction, which is the most impor
tant point raised for the defence. Mr..
Reed is not alone in holding that the
court here did not have jurisdiction
to try Guiteau and that the case should
have been tried in New Jersey. Mr..
Richard L. Merrick. one of the fore
most lawyers of the District Bar, con-
ours in that opinion.

The senate has confirmed the nom
nation of Worthington to be collector
of Boston by vote of SO to IA.
James Q. Smith, contestant, for the
seat of Representative Shelley, of Al
ALBANIA, died at Washington last Fri
day, after an illness of only two days.
He was Republican and a member
of the National Republican Committee.
The passage of the agricultural bill
by the House, was so generally antic-
ipated that it excited no surprise.
The friends of the measure will bring
pressure to induce the Senate to take
action on the measure. Even if the
bill shoald become a law it is very
doubtful whether the President will
invite the head of the new department
to become a member of his Cabinet,
it being entirely optional with him
whom to invite to act as his advisers
and not a matter regulated by law.
1t is considered certain that DIR. Lor-
ing, the present commissioner, will
never attain a Cabinet place during
the present administration.
The committees of Congress have
reported on 1745 bills and resolutions
out of S20S introduced in the two
houses, this being the largest amount
of committee work ever got through
in one session.
Senator Hawley's resolution direct
ing inquiry into the management of
the Jail out of which Howgate escap-
ed, and in which Guiteau holds daily
levee, has done good. The prisoner
is to be more secluded, but the tender
authorities will shut down on him
Secretary Chandler agrees that this

Growing Melons and Cucumbsrs

Mr.. Samuel Johns, Eldora, Iowa,
describes in the Kansas Farmer, his
method of raising cucumbers by the
barrel:
"Take common salt barrel. knock
both ends out, set it in convenient
place, and fill nearly full with weli-rot
ted manure. Form three hills for the
vines, one on the west and the other
on the south side of the barrel. Have
but three plants in hill, then place
brush to keep the vines up from the
ground. Keep the barrel well watered,
and if those three hills don't furnish
enough pickles for large family, then
think me false prophet The same
method is employed just as success
fully in growing melons. We have
tried it with the best success. Water
should be poured into the barrel daily.
Half-rotted manure serves admirably
for filling the barrel.
