WASHINGTON LETTER.
WASHINGTON, d. c.,

UHSsssV0 Wv e.b I'LL
! WASHINGTON, ID. O.,
Peb. 2, 1888.
A daily diet Of tariff is what
we areltfeated to in congress
now Meanwhile the tariff lob
N has grown in proportions un-
iii it exceeds any here since the
flush old subsidy and credit
mobilier days. The whisky lob
by, the railroad lobby, tho navy
lobby, and other lobbies that
have been Extensively active
since the meeting Of congress,
are thrown into the shade by
this powerful and rich combina-
ton. The cry is re-echoed
along the corridors from the
senate to the house of represen-
tativcs that the business Of
the country" demands the pa
ternal care of congress, though
as congressman Butterworth
said on the floor Of the house
concerning some of these SIN
FAINT industries" for which q
whole people must be taxed,
their entire products could be
peddled through the country
by twenty Russian refugees.
1t is possible that the result of
the whole matter will be a bill
concocted by a committee of
conference consisting of two
republicans and one democrat
on the part Of the senate and
two republicans and one demo-
crat on the house. Four men
will finally determine the detailo
of the measure If any measure
there is to be. The bill which
the ways and means committee,
under the lead Of that arch-pro-
tectionist, Judge Kelly, wish to
but not to relieve the burdens
of the people. This is the es.
sence of the whole thing. That
class of protectionists who care
nothing for the burdens laid
upon the people at large, SO
that a few sAecially favored in
d~ustries commune to be foster
ed, make a great show of re.
ducing imports which are not
appreciably felt, while they
hold on to others which press
with iron weight.
"Counsel,v as the LOBBYISTS
now call themselves, diss ,mi.
Late with great vigor the idea
that the tariff bill will be passed,
for belief in this by those who
are concerned Is money in their
pockets. 1t is questionable,
however, whether the lobby is
of much benefit nowadays, MS,
in consequence of the bright
light which is thrown on con.
gressional action, individual and
general, through the medium Of
the press, senators and men,

y the Protestant Episcopal
,hurch of Mississippi.
AS our State will gain in DIR.
a valuable citizen, as
veil as an eminent and eloquent
our readers may wish to
lnow something of the history
# this prominent gentleman:
DR.. Thompson is of Scotch
md English parentage, and his
ancestors were Professionals for
many generations back. He
was born in Londonderry, Ire
June 9th, 1880, and was
in the Parish Church
Of Tamlaght- O'Crily. When he
was five years of age, his pa
rents emigrated to the United
States. He was dedicated to
the service Of God from his
birth, and at eighteen years of
age, then living in Wisconsin,
he became q candidate for Holy
Orders, He was ordained to
the Deaconate in 1852, by Bish-
op Kemper, Of Wisconsin, and
to the Priesthood in 1856, by
the same Bishop. In 1867, he
was placed in charge of Grace
Church, Madison, Wisconsin,
which was an important poSf''
from the fact of beiHrE At the
capitol Of the State. subse-
quently he1 aSngaged in missiona.
iiiSess.s.jrB In the same State, and
founded missions which have
become important parishes. In
1860. he became Professor of
Church History in the Theology
cal Seminary at Nashotah,
where he remained for about
ten years, performing at the
same time parish and n,issiona
ry work. II was during this
decade that the Doctor became
prominent as q clear, vigorous,
and terse writer, and as one of
the deep thinkers ofthe church.
In 1871, he became Rector of
st. James Church. Chicago,
where he remained until after
the great fire, in which his
church was destroyed. After
well starting the work of re.
building his burnt church, be
accepted a call to Christ Church,
New York. Here, in 1875, the
late Bishop Wilmer-that mag
netic man of God-found him,
agd Induced him to accept the
1secsOrsn!P OF lEfffsS ChV most
earnest remonstfance of his
New York Pensioners, who in.
voked the aid Of Bishop Potter
to retain him. His subsequent
labors in the South, and his
present call to go up higher,
seem to reveal to us the guild
|ng and controlling hand of
Providence, which placed His
servant where he could pc rform
lis most efficient work.
DR.. Thompson has been, as
aid above, one Of the leading
writer's of the day in church
