Brother Moody is holding meetings at
Washington, and the presumption is that
the hardened and unrepentant Blaine
will be the special object of his work IN
that city.
Mr.. Philetus Sawyer, with one excep-
ton the richest man in the United States
senate. is distinguished for never having
made speech there. Mr.. Sawyer's ST.
lence is indeed golden.
Democrats who want little here below,
and have wanted that little long, are bad
" torn up at the reported action of the
president>elect, who is said to throw
every letter asking for Office in his waste
basket without reading it.
Senator Blackburn, of Kentucky, says
there are $1,000 avowed candidates for
office IN his state, and the returns are not
all in yet. 1t is going to take large as
sortment of disappointment to supply the
demand in Kentucky.
Poor Blaine. 1t is now said that his
greatest desire" is TO live long enough
to revenge himself upon his enemies. As
he seems TO have rather big and healthy
lot. il looks as if he might get to be the
Oldest citizen of the republic before his
greatest desire" is gratitied.
Gov Martin. of, Kansas advises the
legislature to tinker the prohibitary law a
bit. IF the present law does not accom-
plish the results desired and expected,
you are acquainted with the reasons, and
it in your duty to so amend it as to make
it what the people by their votes have
said they wish it to be" The only special
thing he advises, however, is a modjicas
ton of the restrictions put upOa doctors
and druggists.

AUGUsTUs ATHEGToN is a plain and
thrifty farmer of Arlington, Pa. He is of
an amiable disposition and cOniding
heart. The only great trouble of his life
came through crazy inventors, book ped
dlers, sewing machine agents, lightning
rod, insurance and patent medicine men.
A few years ago he was deceived in
worthless machine, and then he resolved
to have nothing more to do with the
tramps Of literature, maCbinism and med>
iciAc. He kept his word until recently
genteel looking man who said his name
was Atherton came to look up the Ather
ton family tree. This visitor seemed all

ments The stranger pretended to prove
his relationship to Farmer Atberton and
he Jared sumptiously in the Atherton
farmhouse every day An Atherton girl
was about to be married and the newly
found Anterior young man was invited to
stay until after the wedding, which he
readily consented to do. But he didn't
stay. The day before the wedding he
explained that he had a sudden call away.
He was very sorry, really but he couldn t
help it. Business before pleasure, and all
that sort of proverhial philosophy. He
went, and his portly proportions as he
gaily strobe away were supposed to be
due to tie fat Of the land be lately lived
on. He passed out Of sight but not out
of the Anterior mind, for ii was soon dis
covered that many valuables had disap,
peared from the house Among other
things were the most costly portions of
the bridal rousseau. The parting guest
was the pretty well loaded with Anterior
plumber. The wedding went on. howev-
er, the bride having still something tC
wear, and all was happy, as such an oc'
caSion should be; but Farmer Anterior
declares he will never again open his
hospitable doors and arms to any strang>
er, whoever or whatever. He thinks the
forbidden book agents and lightning roo
men put up the job on him, but feel;
free to assert positively that they car
never do it again. 1t is not impossible
that this new son in law may be one o.
the peddler "sharps," and he ought no
to be too positive.

Maybe the last part of the session will
pan out something thatn give q man a
chance to turn al honest penny hslping some
body or Other through congress, but the out
lock is not ta!culateI to keep n man here if
he's got something to do somewhere else. 1t
don't look 70 me, though, as if there; going
to be any big business il the lobby hereljter
To tell the truth, peopie are getting afraid
Of any man that's cailed a lobbyist The
newspapers have said SO much about the
business that people are down on it. and a
member of congress is actually afraid to
talk to any man who's been spotted as be-
longing TO the lobby, and, to be honest about
it, some of EN- aia'5 no better than conf
dence men after all. They lay around the
capitol watching for anything and every
thing THAT has money in it
"Soon is they discover somebody who has
a bill OF a claim, they go for him and tell him
il lie don't 1T EN- in theyn jump on him
It's divvy OF fight with them. No honest
lobbyist mas any use for that crowd. They
hurt the business and mako people scared at
the name Of LOBBY. There's many queer
racket worked about these capitol corridors,
l can tel You, aLnd if the reporters could just
get on to some Of 'em they'd have something
worth writing about. One man got $4,000
out of certain crowd when the tariff blu
was hanging in conference just by cheek and
smart work The crowd / speak of had a
certain interest to take care OF, and they
were afraid it was going To be hurt. That
man found out how the committee stood, and
then made bargain to protect that interest
He never went near that committee; never
spoke word to any Of the members, Lut
when the Tcportw was made AMI the thing was
all right, he got his $500
The votes Of members have boon sold aud
sold over again, without the members them
selves ever knowing anything about it"

Well, the racket is about this: You want

But there isn't IS much of this now as
