WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our regular correspondent.

FROM our regular correspondent.
Congress has meet, the President
has sent in his message, aud the
Cabinet reports are launched on the
public as usual. While it was pretty
well known what the President
would say on certain important sub
jects, everybody was wondering what
new contributions he would make
to English phraseology through his
second annual document. 1t is pos
sible that he exhausted his original.
ity on "goulish gIee," but it is not
at all certain, for equally remarkable
combinations have been evolved
since he was delivered of "inocuous
desuetude."
There is nothing Jeffersonian or
simple about these phrases or about
"pernicious activity" offensive par
tisauship," structural weakness"
etc, but this Administration has or
iginaled other things than phrases.
The odor of boiled cabbage has set

gled with the scent of chrysan inc

there is anything aristocra;ic about
this combination. 1t was only an

Striking Against American Boys

The Baltimore glass-blowers have
struck, but not for an increase of
wages. They struck against an in
crease in the number of apprenti-
ceS. American workingmen, thro'
their trades unions, may bar the
doors of the factories and work
shops against American lads who
would like to learn trades, and
would do so if they had an oppor-
tunity, but they are powerless to
shut off the supply of skilled and
ill-paid mechanics from foreign
lands. These are coming, and will
continue to come so long as wages
here are higher than in the coun-
tries where they live.
Meantime, the question what to
do with American boys is one of
constantly growing Importance and
serious discussion. Industrial
schools are starting up here and
there, have met with encourage
ment, and are accomplishing ex-
cellent results in teaching boys and
girls the arts of handicraft. 1t
would be better, however, because
it would be cheaper, for them to
learn these things in the actual
workshop. In this way their edu-
cation would be more practical, and
be gained without leaving home,
and, instead of being a source of
expense, would produce a small in
come. The glass-blowers and other
labor organizations ought to be
able to see this apprenticeship mat
ter in its true light.-Chicago Jour
nat.

of public men, and if he wants 70
DE left in quiet under his own wire
and hgtree he will have to plant
them at much greater distance
from Washington. He is sure to be
the target for malicious gossip as
long as he holds his present property
There have been some very large
sales of property during the past
week on the line of the proposed
Massachusetts avenue extention and
cable road which is expected to get
a charter at the next session of Con
gress. People holding little farms
in that vicinity imagine they have a
bonanza, and land which would
have been eagerly sold at 800 an
acre year ago, is now held at a
thousand dollars or more. The bub-
BILE may burst any day, but except in
western mining towns, there is no
record of so sudden a rise of prop
erty in value as has lately occurred
northwest of this city.
One of the latest stories about
General Logan is that he has made
a fortune in real estate here and
that he is making fortune out of
his book. The rumor may have
risen from the fact that one of the
Senator's sons has gone into the real
estate business in Washington,
which any man can do who can
raise money enough to pay his Of
flee rent. Senator Logan is by no
means rich man yet, although his
book is doing well, and whatever
be his landed possessions in Illinois
and Chicago he has bought no real
estate in Washington with the ex-
ception of Calumet Place." the old
stone mansion on the hill in the
suburbs, which is his residence, and
which is not yet entirely paid for.
The citizens of Washington have
been considerably excited during
the past week over the demoraliza-
ton and disintegration of the Police
Department and its attendant scan
dals. A good many sympathize
with the overthrow Chief and be
lieve him to have been the victim Of
the conspiracy he outlines. A good
many more, perhaps, sympathize
with Arnold and Kelly. On the
other hand little sympathy is ex-
pressed for Edelin,, the disse minator
of the scandal, who seems to glory
in the ruin he has caused. swell" I
said he exultantly, eff did have to
go, | took him with me-" referring
to the Chief Major Walker.)
The President will now have to
make another trial to secure a Chief
of Police possessing the proper
qualifications for the head of the
force of the Capital of the Nation.
Members of Congress can enjoy the
unmolested freedom of the city
without restrictions as to localities
and those who can impose them
selves on the police as Congressman
or members-elect of the next House
will also be allowed the free run of
the city this session.
