WASHINGTON LETTER.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. Is, '84.
An air Of business pervades the
Capital now, and since the recess the
temper of Congressman seems
to be in the direction of attention to
duty. If professions are any index
of intentions the present Congress
will be long remembered for its vir-
tues and its good works. There is
talk Of lobbies and lobbyists, and no
doubt they are here, considering the
various schemes and interests which
need their aid, but the present indica-
tions are that they will find hard pick
ing if their returns depend upon Sue
cess 1t looks like a cold winter for
the lobbyist who works for a contin-
gent fee. Concerning tariff legisla-
tion, there is good deal of talk about
an alliance between the Republicans
and high tariff Democrats to prevent
the passage of any bill; and no doubt
there are those on both sides who
would like to see such an alliance
made, but those who understand the
situation know that there is the same
diversity of opinion among the Re
publicans on this question as prevails
among the Democrats. A debate
would develope this fact, and for that
reason the Republican leaders are an
xious to keep the subject out of sight
at present.
The discussion of probable, and pos
sible, Presidential candidates is lead
ing industry around the hotel corri-
doris and public loafng places, and it
increases apace as the weeks bring
nearer the nominating conventions. |
Mr.. Blaine has recently declared very
positively that he is not a candidate,
and people begin to think he means is.
/ think he does, for the "Plumed |
Knight" knows that, Notwithstanding
he is the most popular man in the
party, he could not be elected. The
Republicans are really all at sea in the
matter and their leaders admit that

Fearing an Overflow Of the
Delaware.

TRENTON, January ll.-Watermen
have been watching the Delaware riv-
er suspiciously for days past, during
which time it has presented marked
similarity to the condition of affairs in
the winter of 1877, when the back-water
freShet occurred, doing untold damage
on both sides Of the river. The rain
on Tuesday and last night caused an
overflow on the Pennsylvania shore for
a considerable distance inland. Far
merS along the river found their horses
and COWS standing waist-deep III water
in their stalls this morning.

The Kansas Democratic State Conven-
tion.

TOPEKA, KAs,, May 29.-The State
Democratic Convention to elect eighteen
delegates to the National Convention
met Yesterday afternoon. The con-
vention was called to order by W. c.
Perry, OF TT. Scott, Chairman of the State
Central Committee, who proposed the
name of John T. Burss, Of johnson
County, as temporary chairman, who was
unanimously chosen. The temporary or
ganiZation was made permanent.
The Committee on Resolutions re-
ported the following, which were
adopted
Resoloed, That the Democracy Of Kan
sas indorse and approve the tariff reform
measures and policies as expressed in
the address Of Hon. J. &. Carlisle on as
sumiDg the position of Speaker Of the
National House of Representatives;
ReSotued, That any system Of taxation
which produces more than one hundred
millions Of annual surplus revenue is an
outrage upon the people and beneficial
only to the cOrmorants who prey upon
the public treasury. We favor such a re-
form system as will produce with the in
ternal revenue q sum sufficient to raise a
fund to pay all the legitimate ex-
penses Of the government, honestly
and economically administered, and
| all just debts, am that in
! regulating the import duties the tariff
should be principally upon luxuries, and
that the taxation on the necessities and
general wants OF the great mass of pco-
pie should be materially reduced and the
whole tariff system so adjusted that the
burdens OF taxation should fall on the
class best able TO bear them, and so that
the manufacturing and laboring interests
OF the country be protected against un.
Just foreign competition, both In the
price Of material and the value of the la.
Dor.
ResOired, That while we do not deem
II necessary to instruct our delegates,
having conlidGEce in the ability, integ.
rity and discriminating judgment OF
these gentlemen this day selected to
represent the Democracy Of Kansas In
the National council Of the party at
Chicago, we desire it TO be dis.
tlnctly understood that ouI preference
ls Tor that peerless statesman and
stainless patriot, Samuel J. TiIden, and
we demand that II II be possible in
his noble name and that Of his associ
ate, the atrocious crime Of 1876 shall be
wiped from the record Of the Nation.
Reso'ted, That the Democracy of Kan
sas take pride In convention assembled
IN indorsing the administration Of Gov
ernor Click, able, conservative and hon
est, and point with pride to the firs
Democratic Governor Of Kansas as ,

The OTHER day Captain How
gates signature was wanted in
Washington to complete a real es.
tate transaction, and within twenty
four hours it was obtained. Captain
Howgste, it will be remembered, is
an embezzler and a fugitive from
justice, and Government has SEEM
ingly manifested desire to get hold
Of him, that he might be clothed in
the stripes of the criminal. Itseems
a little strange thasi it should be so
convenient for other people to COM
municate with him, and The officers
remain in utter darkness as to his
Whereabouts. The people who are
not fools are fast coming to the con-
CIusion that Howgate is not wanted
very badly, and that the reason WHY
he is not wanted is that he NAV
know more than it would be plea
SAINT or profitable for him to tell.

To THOSE citizens cf Salt Lake
who have not travelled, and who
have not heard the great singers of
the earth, the entertainment at the
Theatre on Thursday evening was a
musical revelation, and one which
will not soon be forgotten. To those
familiar with the divine art, as p =
trayed by the gifted and trained,
the Gers'er performance was grand;
and to the uninitiated it was more,
for it told of possibilities never he
fore dreamed Of. Having had this
taste, all will be delighted to learn
that Patti, the leading prima donna
of the world, will sing for them
in this city. 1t has been definitely
arranged that the great diva will
appear at concert in the Taber-
nacle on her return from San Fran
cisco. The details as to the mem,
bers, performers and prices have
not yet been perfected, but will be
in the course of day or two, and
the facts published. The bare an
nouncement that Madame Patti
will sing in Salt Lake will bring
pleasure to thousands in and ad.
jacent to the city.

One OF the most interesting and

the past ten years Presses, type, pa.

covers SO much psper-that it would
take columns to mention all the diff

most useful, and at the same time
simple uses to which it is put is in
the printing OF blanks-deeds, notes,
