ING the assertion would be true.
The degree of rapidity with which the
Wasbingtonian world moves depends
largely upon the impetus given by Con-
gress. Congress practically, does not
move: Washington does not move
Washington is the hub of the United
States. the claims of Philosophy Boston
to the contrary Notwithstanding. Wash

States does not move. The United
States is the centre of the world, its
hub. Therefore: Congress does not
move, Washington does not move, the
United States does not move; ergo: The
world does not move. It may be the
pride of flesh, but it does seem as though
a Utah Commission could be proud of
this logical deduction, and REPUTATION
of the proposition advanced by Repre-
sentative Browne, and generally ac-
cepted as an incontrovertible fact.
There seems to be a Slight difference
of opinion between the two branches.
The House passed a resolution to adj
iourn from the 9th inst. till January
9Th. Under the Constitution neither
branch can adjourn for longer period
than three days without the consent of
the other The House refuses to comply
with the Senate's wishes about the naval
appropriation bill; and the Senate CON
sequently refuses to adjourn, and this
prevents the House from adjourn
ing for more than three days. To
thwart the Senate, ex-Speaker Ran
dali made motion that the
House should adjourn for three days,
and upon meeting Immediately adjourn
for three days more, and SO on, until
January 3, with unanimous under
standing that no business should be
transacted on the days when the House
should meet. The result is that the
Senate is still in session, and the House
has practically adjourned.
Saturday was raw and bitter cold
day, but the unwilling of the statue of
Rear-Admiral Samuel Francis Dupont,
on Dupont Circle took place. Because
OF the extreme cold the customary pro-
eession and march were dispensed with.
Prest. Arthur, members of the Cabinet,
General Sheridan and army and naval
omcers, some Congressman, and quite a
number of ladies and gentlemen
gathered upon the stand reserved for
the invited ones. On one side of the
statue were drawn up the marines, on

speakers stand, and at the rear OF the
statue the Marine Band-eonsidered the
