Washington Letter 10 the Boston Tfarc"tr
The actual leader Of the minority ia Mr..
Thomas B. Reed, Of Maine, man Of ire.
mendoua intellectual POWER, and, by ability,
capacity and everything elae that goes 10
make Up safe political pilot, is justly en-
titled 10 the place. Reed is a large, round
man, with big, fat, jolly face, aud gen.
eral air Of con.en.ment aad satisfaction
that the world is wageing along just abou!
aa it should. This is bis appearance us no
sits in his eeat, about the centre Of the Re-
publican side, and watches tile proceedings
going on about him. When the time comes
for action his appearance changes in IN in
slant, and as the debate erowa fiercer he
seems like an aroused lion. Few men in
the House have been able 10 stand under
his whitening sarcasm, end his nharp,
rapier.like repa,tees have become pro.
verbal. So lar AS I know, he is the only
man in Congress who never prepares Il
speech before delivery, and have heard
that he says that Lie would be eure to make
failure il he relied upon notes. rs the
greater share OF the others do. lie is an
extemporaneous speaker. His ideas seem
to push ont "a perfect torrent OF words, and,
Notwithstanding this, tho logic Of his re.
marks is just as clear and penetrating as
though he had labored days in preparation

somewhat ibickly and came up uniformly,
growing well until just about to head, when

AS soon as the crop was cut oil q second
growth sprung up, which, though injured
by the drought, produced nearly as well IS
the first crop.
Growing sorghum for strip and for feed.

jected.
As to It's value as feed II WAS given entire
and algo when cut. The cattle in both
cases seemed to prefer it to fodder corn
when fed In connection with Il. The
saccharine matter in sorghum being pre-.
portionately greater than in fodder corn II
was consequently more nutritious, e1d
must necessariv therefore, DO more PRO.
ductive Of fat, No test was made as to tht
proportions Of milk given by the cows ne
compared with fodder corn, but the flow
was increaged.
As this crop seems specially adapted 10
light coils. and IL easily grown, there is no
reason why it should no. DO extensively
cultivated and made.1n annual crop on all
farms. 1t can certainly be produced ut
low cost, considering i'a many advantages.
Next season more experiments will bs
made, which we have no doubt will ba in
favor Of the sorghum, as valuable crop.

most comprehensive bill. It does not pro
pose to pension everybody TINT served the
govcrnment-oniyth those who aro in actual
want, or who, by reason oil age or physical
disability, not resulting from bad or vicious
habits, are unable to earn living. Tho

That is the most practical charity which

until he works for and earns it.
On tho opening day one hundred and
fifty men applied. There was work for
only iorty.seven Of them. They were paid
in tickets. Most Of the applicants were
under thirtytive years Of age, timc OF

reporter talked with about twenty OF the
woodward men and found that only two Of
them had trades. One was college graduate.

their fortunes. The men were generally
