WASHINGTON LETTER.

From our Regular Correspondent.
WASHINGTON, December 80, 1887.-The
burden of conversation at the Capital
since adjournment, has been the appoint
ment of the House Committees. The
Speakers room is literally thronged from
morning till nj ght by members who are
urging their own interest or that of a
friend. To complicate affairs, it is said
that the President is assuming to dictate
to the Speaker certain appointments that
the Speaker don't want, and that several
members are quite wroth because their
merits are not more readily recognized.
All these things are sad comment on
American politics and ought to disgust
the people to that extent that they will
see to it that the next House is Republl-
can. There is no question that the impor.
tant committees are being most shame
fully packed in certain interests, and it ie
through these committees that legislation
must come. if we have any regarding the
great issues As an illustration, the con-
troll of the Ways and Means Committee,
the most important at this time, is given
to the non,manufacturing South, while
the beehive of all New Englandtis only
given one member, and the great manu-
featuring State of New Jersey, with It's
millions invested, is left without repre-.

and beyond help, and her husband has

Yes, have seen such things before,
Some constitutions can bear this poison
and some cannot. Why, just to give YOU
an idea. l saw this experiment tried
among others at an establishment where
they treated persons for the cure of the
tobacco habit. A man just brought in
was washed as clean as soap and water
could make him, and then some flies were
allowed to light on him. In five minutes
by the watch they were dead. There was
poison enough in the perspiration that
came out of a man washed as clean as
possible to kill them. You can imagine
what he would be when he wasn't wash
ed, to spend several hours each day in a
warm bed with him. That was all new
to me, and was completely dumfound-
ed. don't use tobacco, but if did,
that physicians statement would have

til the poison was all out of my system -

The Century articles on Russia, by
George Keenan,, are attracting the atten-
ton of the civilized world. Probably no
other magazine articles printed in the
English language, just now, touch upon
a subject which so vitally interests, for
many reasons, all thoughtful people in
Europe, America and Asia. With every
article Mr.. Keenan, deepens the impress
