WASHINGTON LETTER.
WASHINGTON, D. c. April 10, 1884

~ >~~~--~' N'ANA>9 - - - fAAA A63 Aoo1
The week has developed the fact
that two questions at least will
have no chance in the Forty eighth
Congress. Senate and House com
mittees have presented antagonistic
views. The Senate committee says
Postal Telegraphy is practica bic,
but that of the House has put a
quietus on all bills relating to this
matter by adopting a resolution that
it is inexpedient for the Govern.
ment to construct a postal telegraph,
or to purchase any Of the existing
lines. And no Woman suffrage bill
will be passed, for while the MAJORS
ty. of the Senate committee have
favored a sixteenth amendment, the
House is prepared to report the
matter adversely. Another bill
destined to stormy future is the
Naval appropriation of fourteen
millions as passed by the House,
which the Senate committee has
considered and returned to that
body with au addition to che
amount of six millions.
During the week the lower House
discussed and passed the bill to re-
tire the Trade dollar, also the Ag-
ricultural appropriation, among the
items of which is an increase of
$25, 900 for the distribution of seeds
and plants, and the Indian appro.
priation Of five millions. The latter
gave rise to considerable discussion
during which some Members ex-
pressed their opinions of the wards
of the Nation in positive language.
A far Western Representative said if
millions were to be granted every
year for the support Of an idle, va
grant, and malicious race, he
thought the Government might as
well take on its hands all the pau.
pers of the United States. 4 He adj
vocated the survival only of the
fttest. Private, and Pension bills
were also disposed Of, and the for.
fixture Of the Oregon Central land
grant was briefly considered but
without results
The Sena te has disposed Of the
Educational bill, which has occu.
pied more than two weeks. It was
passed by a good majority. One
hundred and five million dollars to
be granted by single act of Con-
gress is the broadcast proposition
that has ever been considered by
American statesmen. And when
the money is required for single
generation of people, the fact is
recognized that wider foundations
for beneyolence and charity will be
laid by this act than has ever before
been attempted by Congress. The
measure has advocates and oppon.
ents on both sides of the cham Der.
Most of the Senators have had
something to say on the far reach.
ing question, and the debate has.
been. marked by the ablest oratory Of
the session: a.
Through file Congressional IN.
vest gation ofDistrict accounts, the
people Of the District have just
learned that they have suffered
greatly from fraud and peculation..
The irregularities extend over a
period Of eight or nine years, the
accounts are in the greatest confn.l
sion, and there are many suspicious
things.
A face long familiar to Washing.

with gray whiskers and dark blue eyes, leaning
did hot take an instant for the crowd to recogo

flash every man was on his feet.
Mr.. Blaine stepped forward in delighted SUI Y;

stood hand in hand in the center of the room
The reception on the part Of both was sincere
and unaffected, and tears seemed to sparkle in
the Generals eyes as he noticed the Difference
