WASHINGTON LETTER.

(FRoM Our REGULAR CORRESPONDENT
WlsHISeTos, Jan. rs, 1886.
Among prominent happsDings OF
the week at the Capital may be men
toned discussions in Congress on
Pensions, silver Inon~y. and the
Electoral Count bill: the interesting
controversy between the President
and Republican Senators; and three
different conventions. One OF these
was in behalf of improving the Miss
issippi river and other western water
ways. another was by the National
Board Of Trade, and the third was
held by silver men from different
parts Of the country.
Senator Sherman, President Of the
Senate, made a notable speech to the
effect that after nearly a hundred
years it still \remaiDs an unsolved
problem as TO how the Electoral vote
shall be counted. He argued that
where the two houses canDOt Bgree
on any question affecting the count.
they shall meet and vote in joint con
yention. His plan was endorsed BY
Senator Evarts. and controverted by
Senators Edmunds and Hosr. The
latter gentlemen both held thar MIR.
Sherman's plan was for settling Con
stitutionaI disputes on the baais Of
the biggest bias. The debate was
unusually interesting. and was made
more so from the fact that the speak
ers were all possible Presidential
candidates. Each was on bis n,ettle
and at bis best. The Senate was full
AMI attentive. II was critical court
Of able, subtle lawyers, and large
audience in the galleries also stimu-

Some extraordinary pension
schemes have been introduced into
the present Congress. One has just
been brought forward in the House
that exceeds in extravaganza any
thing yet proposed. 1t grants pen

and sailor of the war CT the rebsllioD

shall be raised to Sl2, and finally j,
dates all the civil war pensions bach
to the death or discharge.
The attitude Of the President and
Senate to each otter has not chang

debate in expected in the Senate
soon, however, over a resolution that
Senator Edmunds expects to Offer il

There are hosts of men and women who,
to coin phrase, are only half alive. That
is to say, have seldom If ever any appetite,
are nervous, weak, fidgetty and troubled by
numberless small pains and aches. In tie
presence OF vigorous, exuberant vita'ty
they seem mere p,gmies. Such persons are
usually fond of frequently dosing them
selves, swallowing in the course OF the year
enough drugs TO stock any apothecary $
shop of average dimensions. This. OF
course. defeats instead Of furthcring the
end in view, Aiz the recovery of health and
vigor. Were they to seek from an unfailing
source Of vitality, Hostetter's Stomach BIT
tiers, how different would be their case.
Then vigor would return to their debilitated
frames, the glow of health to their wan
cheeks. their trembling uncertain gate
would grow firm and elastic, appetite, that
crsndc.t of all sauces, would give relish
for the daily food, were it ever so coarse,
and refreshing sleep would crown the tasks

"Do you know what is running
this country" said Judge Bluker.
Il will tell you. 1t is not over
production, but it is the dishon-
esty of the people that destroys
public and private confidence. I'll
give you an example of dishonesty
practiced upon me by a party
named Jimpleson. He came to
my house one day and told me
that he had one ofthe best schemes
in the world; said that he had n
gold mine not far away, and that if
he only had a little gold with
which to salt it he could sell the
claim for 100000. He was so
plausible, talked so fairly, that /
was completely taken in. l went
with him and looked at the mine.
/ was in need of about $4,000, so
[ concluded to let him have the
gold. He said he could take a
gold piece, carefully CRATE it off,
and so skillfully imbed it in the
sand that no one could detect our
scheme. How much gold will it
take? / asked him.
ooh, about $500. l can take
that amount and make the place
worth at least $4,000 to us"
] gave the money and got a
crater for him and he went out to
the mine. Several days afterward
he invited me to come out. He
had done his work well. We invited
capitalists to come and make Us a
bid. Ny partner was not present
when an assay was made. Good
thing for him that he wasn't. He
sailed the mine with copper dust
and kept the gold. l have not
seen him since. Now, don't you
SEEK.

A number of the Mormons con-
victcd for polygamy and illegal
cohabitation at Blackfoot, during
the present term of court, have
been found guilty on two counts.
Owing to the crowed condition of
our penitentiary it is quite proba-
bic those Mormons who will receive
sentence of one year or more will
be sent to some penitcntiary east,
probably Detroit, Michigan. If
sent there these thick necked
amorous old polygs will not find
it picnic by any means as in the
Boise pen. Here there is no work
to do, but at Detroit they will be
put astride of a rock-pile and made
to break rock for turnpikes, or some
other similar amusement will
be afforded them. Or, possibly,
they may be put to work on some
government improvement going on
in that locality. In the solitude of
their cells, after hard days work,
they will have ample time to reflect
and work out the problem if it
pays to violate the laws of the
land, and is there any religion in
the church that makes criminals
and convicts of its followers
