A pamphlet containing series OF ar
ticles against the Blair bill, which had
appeared in the New York Evening Post
during the early part of 1886, was pub
lished in April Of that year while the
measure was pending before the Forty
ninth Congress. As the scheme is now
urged upon the Fiftieth Congress, new
edition of the pamphlet has been prepa-
red which includes q number Of addi-
tional articles that have appeared in the
Evening Post during the past year.
These articles enforce the original argu.
ments against the bill by further evil
dence that the South does not need out.
side aid, and that the agitation OF the
scheme has done much harm to the cause
of education; show that the best informed
friends of negro education, like Gen
Armstrong of Hampton. have now with
drawn their former support Of the polio.

which Mr.. Blair xperienced last summe

A bill has been introduced In C6ngress
to prohibit the pur chase Of articles made
in whole or i'm part by convict labor. 1t
is doubtless advisable 70 avoid policy
which would compel the honest; hard
working mechanic to compete with con:
vict labor in the markets Of the world;
but there is another side to the question
what is to he done with the convict7
There is no department Of labor in which
he can be employed that will wholly
avoid the difficulty-the convict must
to some extent be a competitor Of the
honest laborer, or he must be condemned
to absolute idleness. Such sentence
might be resorted to as punishment; but
it certainly would not be reformatory
measure. The proposed measure Is too
sweeping and radical to meet with ac-
ceptance, for convicted criminals even
have some rights which as Intelligent
and human beings, We are bound to res
pect-the right to means Of reformation
lone Of which is labor.-The Americans

a defeat such az was experienced last
session. Another question that Will
doubtless receive considerable attention
is the temperance cause. A bill intro
duced by Senator Platt cOntemplates
prohibition in the District Of Columbia.
1t has many friends in the Senate, and
will probably pass that body, but may
meet with opposition in the House. The
liquor interests are already organizing to
make fight against the bill. and before
many days Of the session have passed, the
fight will have waxed warm. UnfOrtu-
nately for the good Of the cause Of Sena-
tor Ingalls,, the chairman OF the District
of Columbia committee is opposed tOpro-
hibition, but majority OF the other
members are friendly to it and will see
that the bill receives the proper cOnsi-
deration at an early day.
It may be interesting to many admirers
of the late Gen. Hancock, to know that
the fund being raised to purchase his
widow a residence here is completed.
The house which the committee cOntem-
plate purchasing is in the northwest part
of the city, not far from the British Mi
nister's and Is a handsome three story
brown stone structure containing eleven
rooms occupying one of the most beauti-
full corner sites in that fashionable sec
tiOn of the city. Mrs. Hancock is at
present in the city, residing with niece
Of the General.
1t will be remembered that at the time
of the failure of the banking house Of
Jay Cooke & Co. in 1874 the Freedman's
Bank of this city also failed. This bank
had mostly as depositOrs, ignorant but
frugal colored people not only in Wash
ington but from all parts of the country
the depOsitOrs believing that it was a
Government institution or Savings Bank.
Upon its failure failure government re-
ceiver was appointed and Congress not
only authorized the purchase Of the i'm
mense aud handsome brown stone edifice
constructed and used by the bank but
also appropriated large sum OF money
to be placed among the assets of the de-
funct bank. The report Of the Comp
troller of the Currency just made, shows
that there are 14O9 claims amounting to
$7,374,36 not paid because no demand has
been made and the whereabouts of the
claimants are not known. There are
sufficient assets to pay these claims
whenever called for.

Washington Letter.

Washington ID. c. Jan. End 1887.
To the Editor of Messenger.
During the Xmas holidays public bus
iness seemed to be practically suspended
and all persons politicians included, de-
voted themselves to pleasure and recrea-
ton. Even the Government Department
were more than usually quiet, although
Members of Congress had nothing else to
do than to call at the Departments to
look after the interests of constituents
having claim pending there for adjudi-
cation. The halls Of Congress looked as
bare and empty, so far as moving huma-
nifty is concerned as they did two months
before Congress assembled. The men,
bers and Senators in the city Stunned
the building as they would prison not
even calling for their mail, but having it
sent to their residences. Speaker Carlisle
availed himself of the quiet of the place
to spend most of his time in the Speakers
room discussing the make up of the COM
mittees with such few trusted counsel
lors as he called into consultation. The
pressure for assignment to choice COM
mittees ceased soon after the adjourn
ment forth holidays as all claims had
been presented before then, and nothing
more could be done except to wait for thu
award.
With reference to what business viii
