At the session Of the Woman Suffrage asso.
ciation in Washington, plan for future action
was mapped out and agreed upon. 1t was de-
der the auspices Of the association III every
state and territory not now organized fol
won,an'D suffrage and that upon the vice pres

intendency Of what is known as Legislative work
in their respective states and territories. Thia
Legislative work consists in endesvors to secure

"Years ago the old man owned one 81

son married and had O. son.
When tho grandson was about fifteen.

take things easy and rest the remsindee
Of his days. He asked the old man 70
deed the farm to him and let him take
sole charge Of it, with the aid of che.
grandson. He promised the old farmer
. good homo and an easy. life Is long ss
he lived. Tho old man finally decided
the property to his son. s'No soon
er had he obtained the title
to the property than the SON began -
system Of the most heartless treatment,
OF his father. He compelled him to
work harder than he had ever done for
himself, would not permit him to eat at
the family table, and subjected him to
all kinds Of persecutions. The grand
son protested in vain against this treat.
mont Of his grandfather, and finally the
old man left the home that he had made
and found an asylum in the County
Poor House.
after awhile the son got badly in
debt, and 90 anxious was he to escape
payment Of his obligations that he made
Q deed Of the farm TO his son. Every
thing moved smoothly for atime, until
one day the farmer gave some instruc-
tions that did not agree with his sons
ideas and the latter refused to consent
to them. The father declared that his
wishes should lie carried out, and or
dered his son to leave tho place. The
son, however, reminded him that he
held the title to the farm himself, and
that q they could mot get along taeethss,
the father would have TO IL, ~ he did.
after the departure Of the father, the
son re-established his grandfather in
possession Of the farm, deciding back
everything, The old man, however,
gave the farm absolutely to his grand
son, who provided amply for the old
man until he died. The boys father
was offered home on the old place, bat
refused to accept anything but the title
to IL oil, and the last heard Of him he
was working q farm hand in Wabash

ground for the assumption
that a still further reduction
Of postage on letters to one
cent, without regard to weight,
would result in an increased
correspondence that would
yield a still handsomer reve-
nue.. Meantime Congress
should make some uniform
law regulating the rates Of
postage on newspapers and
printed matter, that somebody
besides the Postofice officials
and a Philadelphia lawyer cail
comprehend. For instance, one
of the laws in force today,
prescribes that the rate of post.
age on a newspaper exceeding
1850 square inches in size, shall
be two cents The absurdity
of employing a tape measure
to ascertain the dimensions of
the newspaper seeking to go
through the mail, is no greater
than that of subjecting it to
the scales to ascertain if it
weighs l ounce or 2 ounces.
After all it may not be a bad
idea to secure uniformity in
the law pertaining to marriage
and divorce throughout the
United States. The prohibi-
tons of marriage ON account
of consanguinity and other
causes, are as diverse in the
several States as are the laws
which prescribe the causes for
which divorces may be grant.
ed. A movement to secure this
uniformity in the law has al.
ready been inaugurated.

WASHINGTON LETTER.

Washington, D. c., April Ia, "a.
/ have been examining the
history of past Congresses, 80
far as the number of bills in
troduced is concerned, and /
find that the most prolific ses-
sion anterior to the war yield
ed just about one-tenth Of the
number of bills already intro.
duced in the House, which is
a little rising of 1000. Though
the session of the House which
began in 1859, in December,
did not transact any business,
owing to the failure to elect a
Speaker, until the following
February, the sequel shows
that the members kept them
selves busy in preparing bills
for introduction, forthe record
exhibits more of them than
were ever presented in any two
Congresses preceding. Of the
more than 1000 bills now in
the House files of this session,
avast majority areprivate bills
calling for pensions, and for
the relief of everybody who is
impecuniously inclined !; and
it is these that have the effect
of postponing until the very
last end Of the session the great
and important measures in
which the public generally is
most vitality concerned. Each
of these private bills has it's
friends and promoters, until
action is taken upon them by
the committee having it in
charge, that committee has no
respite from it's labors, 10 op-
portunity to consider import.
ant public measures, no exemp-
ton from the opportunities of
the claimants. The antidote
for this misehievous business,
which turns Congress into a
general collecting agency, is to
be found in the wiping out of
all special legislation and the
establishment of some tribun-
al like the Court of Claims to
take care of these trivial mat
tiers, whose consideration by
Congress costs the country ten
fold more than their aggregate
amount in the neglect Of the
greater interests Of the people.
Contrary to all prescribed
notions of the ability of the
American people to write let
ters, the Post Office authorities
are compelled to admit that
the revenue from the two cent
letter postage for the first year,
ending October 31st, will equal
if not exceed that Of any pre-.
ceding year under the three
centsystem. If this be so, and
there is scarcely a doubt that
the prospective report will
demonstrate it, there is good

Tariff.

The New York "Times." the leading
Republican paper, the New York Even
ing Post" and the Chicago Tribune >
also leading Republican papers, are qno-
ted among the strongest advocates OF
the Morrison tariff bill. The "Times's''
argues in this wise for tariff reform:
For instance. . broadcloth dress suit
which cost $50 10 New York costs only
o22 in London.
A heavy business suit which cost $50
in New York, costs but Sl3 In London
A spring serge overcoat which costs
go in New York, costs but &8 30 in
London.
A winter beaver overcoat which costs
S35 in New York, costs but $l4 30 in
London.
A silk bat which costs S5 In New
York. costs bat % in London.
These articles altogether cost in New
York S1AO. In London they cost but
o6l. The man who buys these clothes,
therefore. in New York, pays S79 more
for them than be could buy them for 10
London.
Thus the "Times" appeals to that ex-
tremely sensitive "organ," the pocket of
tbe consuuaer, to make friends for tariff
reform.
