In the House Of Representatives to-day smile
ran through the assembly when the chaplain, in
his opening prayer, returned thanks ''that our
silver and gold have been multiplied" and the
silyermen pretended to see in the fact that silver
had been placed before gold, an indication that
the religions portion of the community was III

The Senate resolutions touching the death OF
Vice President Hendricks were lad upon Ine
table for the present. Mr.. Holman gave notice
that on Tuesday next he would ask tne House 10
consider similar resolutions.
Mr. Boutelle of Maine rising to a question OF
privilege, quoted the remarks made some days
ago by Mr. Wise of Virginia, denying that the Dry
dock at Norfolk had eyer been destroyed. Mr.
BOutelle SAID that the remarks which he mad
quoted had been telegraphed all oyer the country,
and his (Boutee's) statement to the contrary,
been widely animadverted upon. He did not ex-
aggerate in saying that number of publications
had assumed that the statement he made had con-
yicted him before the House and country of hay-
ing trified with the House, and having at least
connived at a gross fabrication OF wna{ ought 70
be matter of familiar history. In vlndicat0n OF
his yeracity and of his good faith as amember OF
the House in vindication of the representations
made by him he desired to have printed a. IN q the
Record some brief citations setting forth the fact
of the destruction of the Norfolk navy yard on the
10th and 18th of May 1862.
After some further discussion as to Mr.. Bou-
telles right to proceed the Speaker held he was
not so entitled as nothing that had been SAID by
Mr.. Wise attributed any improper motive 10 MT.

THE TARIFF.
Mr.. Reed and the Cooperage Ques-
ton.

In the ways and means committee Tuesday
morning Morrison for the first time an
nounced that he is intending to bring in a
general tariff bill. The Republicans asked
no questions, and he deigned no further in
formation. Then the committee agreed to
head off the very shrewd whiskey people,
who have escaped taxation on a fractional
part of gallon in every barrel, by reporting
bill taxing these fractions. Mr.. Reed of
Maine, in behalf of the cooperage interests
of New England asked the committee to
consider his bill imposing one-quarter of one
per cent. additional duty on sugar imported
in bags. He argued that this would not in
crease the price of sugar, but compel sugar
for this market to be packed in American
hogsheads, and thereby sustain trade
where profits go largely into the pockets of
skilled labor. Mr.. Morrison said they might
do something for it in his tariff bill, and
suggested that it be postponed until after
that is reported. Mr.. Reed protested, saying
that friends of the cooperage industry might
want to vote against the general tariff bill.
Mr.. Morrison smiled blandly, nodded to his
Democratic supporters, and by party vote
the cooperage bill was ordered back into its
pigeonhole.

HOUSE OF REPREsENTATIvEs.

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,.
WASHINGTON, ID. c., Jan. %, 1886.
NV Dear Sir: Your letter, asking my opinion of
biennial elections, has just been received.
think we made great mistake in Maine in chang
ing our Constitution in that regard. The project
was submitted to the people at the time when a
great contest for supremacy in other matters was
going on between the two political parties, then
very closely matched, and there was no oppOrtu-
nifty for full discussion. The amendment was
passed without suitable consideration. 1t will not
be possible to go over the Whole subject IN such
letter as this. ! can only say in few words that
the plan of refusing the people the right to review
every year the dolngs Of their representatives,
seems to me to be one of the many expedients
which are always starting up to carry on agovern-
ment of the people. 1t is, of course, an incOnve-
nience for vested rights, privileges and institu-
it is of the essence of Republican government.
When you double the prize for which corrupt poll
ticlans or interested monopolists may strive, by
one you double the incentive to fraud in elections
to bribery and Wrong-doing, and divide by Two
the power of the people to correct wrong, to make
progress and punish dishonest servants. Ii you
wish the benefits of free government you must
take the methods, even if they are onerous. Ii
the people are to govern, sthey have got to take
will not run itself. All approximations toward
despotism will-f0r while. Contrive it by what
ever institutions you may, by wisdom from inside
or wisdom from outside, no people can ever have
a better government than they can make for them
selves. If they allow the ignorant, the scheming
politicians or any one else to govern them while
they have the voting power, and frequent opppor-
tunfties to exercise it. they deserve no better gov
ernment and will be in the end not to get it.
After all the plans for avoiding elections for
concentrating power in the hands of mayors, gov
ernors and presidents, have duly failed and
brought their due disasters we shall bethink our
selves of that true system of government which
finds its best exposition in the New England town
the system of making every citizen interested in
government by demanding of him every year to
say what he thinks of his servants and their acts
and teaching him to eschew, as inventions of Sa
tan, all these schemes for getting himself govern
ed without bother.
Very truly yours, T. d. REED.
