Congressional Wrangling.

washington Letter IN Phlladelphla Times.
1t is openly stated by members of the House
that the old-time custom OF Senators dropping
into the House socially and keeping in pleasant
personal as well as in legislative accord with the
immediate repres entatives of the people is fall
Ing into disuse. \ Senator is now seldom seen
On the floor of the House and Slere is some rea-
son for the complaint that the Senate often as
sumes to invade the distinct prerogatives ofthe
House in important legislation. In this con-
nection II is freely stated by members of the
House that the Senate is rapidly becoming the
distinct representative body of the great for
tune and monopoly interests of the country
that with rare exceptions nlymen OF great for
tune can attain seats in the senate: that the
body Is steadily and surely driiting from the in
tefests OF the people to the exclusive interests
OF wealth. speculation and MONOPOLY. and that
these peculiar qualities OF the Senate now as
sumo 10 dominate not only in the political
policy OF the government, but also in the social
surroundings of national authority. IL il claimed
that the distinctive class that now controls the
Senate regards the peculiar interests ii repre-
SCENTS as paramount To- party, and that republi-
cans and democrats cease to be party men and
act IN unity when their speculative or social in
terests are threatened, regardless of party con-
nectiOns or obligations. These are not mere
idle surface rumors. They reflect what is much
more profoundly felt than is expressed in the
House, and the probability il that the estrange-
ment of the TWO houses i likely To eliminate

A Picture of Grant.
From the Hartford Courant


There is in existence photograph Of Gen.
Grant which is of pathetic interest at this mo-
ment. 1t was taken during the last winter Of
the war, while the headquarters of the army of
the Potomac were at City Point. The pho
tograph may have been instantaneous, for
there is no appearance of posing for it. Grant
appears in the door of his tent with one arm
raised grasping the tent pole. He is in the
simplest field uniform, the coat is unbuttoned
and he wears the SOFT hat with the twisted
cord of the service. The face is thin and heavy
with care, and the whole figure denotes SELF
forgetfulness, If not detection. The utter
absence OF parade, the entire simplicity of the
attitude, the rudeness of the surroundings,
would advise no spectator that this was the
iron commander of great armies, the man
upon whom the hopes OF the nation at that
moment conferred Upon his skill, GOODNESS,
tenacity, unshakable faith, millions reposed
implicit trust. 1t weary waiting; wealth
was wasted in streams, debt was accumulat-
ing foreign powers were threatening, treason
was brewing, precious life was poured out like
water, and the land was full OF mourning This
general, silent, infieXible, stands there at his
ton, not so much looking abroad as commun.
ing with himself, bearing in every line of face
and figure the impress of the heaviest RESPONSE
bility and of vicarious suffering. No note of
complaint, no sign of relentng, no conscious.
ness of the show of power, but Just at that mo-
men; patient endurance in his own wasted
person of the woes of an anxious nation. UrDu
him, at that instant rested greater responsibility
than upon any other living man; upon him CEN
criticism, brutal disparagement. He is in the
attitude OF bearing II all, with the capacity of
suffering and of carrying the burdens Of others
without complaint, which is the mark of great
ness. Perhaps IL he had failed, perhaps IL he
had lost his cause and disappointed the hopes
set upon him, this picture might to-day have
been more utterly pathetic than 1t is but re-
Numbering what the man had endured and
still to suffer before the final taumph Of the
people through him, this simple figure Is not
wanting in any of the heroic elements that
touch the hearts Ofmen.
