THK snobbery OF Washington

The snobbery OF Washington
society has become serious, If not
appalling. Society, fashion, dress
and gay artificial life have takes
possession of the American Capital,
which ought to be mere political
and business center, not fashion
center. The methods of Washing
ton life, created by this cause, have
made 1t vastly expensive for mem
bers of the Congress aud officers of
the government to support them
selves and families there. From
this cause come the constant appeals
for increased salaries, the demorali-
cation of stock-jobbing among mem
bcrs of Congress, the intimate rela-
tons of the lobby to Congress and
its power over the votes of members.
with the occasional defalcation. Of
trusted officials who could find no
other way but by larceny to keep up
with the rapid life of their rivals
and associates. The newspapers are
| filled nearly as much with the do
lngs of the women as with those of
the men In official life at Washing
ton. One of the most repulsive of
the exhibitions that grow out of this
system is the recent appearance of
the wife of Cabinet officer in
| defense of the President against the
scandalous and doubtless untrue
charges that have recently gained
publicity. The scandal of such a
defense is almost as great as the
scandal involved in the original
charges. What immoralities or
worse are yelled undor this gaudy
glitter and show of fashion-what
vicious practices and what volume
of social and domestic crime lie
ambushed under the surface aud
behind the screens that cover all
this gayety, frippery, false appear
ances and delusive exhibit, this
country can know only by the little
that at times transpires as an index
To the rest. Hidden behind and
under the world of folly there must
inevitably be world that is infinite
ly worse than folly.
There is reason to hope that under
the next administration some of this
gloss and tinsel will be removed
that some of the artificial and fash
ionable life of Washington will at
least be disassociated from its polit-
zeal life. 1t ia said that General
Harrison has declined Especial
train" and other railroad attentions
for his journey to Washington
before entering on his Office, and
that he will go like any other pas
senger on business, paying his fare,
and with such simple secommoda-
tons as modern railroad travel fur
uishes to all alike This is a good
beginning. - Chicago Journal

WASHING TON LETTER.
FROM our regular correspondent.

the River and Harbor bill by the
Senate, il strongly opposed to pass
ing any appropriation bill at the
present session for that purpose, and
so many Republican Senators are IN
sympa,hy with him that ! have no
hesitation in predicting that no
River and IIarbo. bill will become a
law at Ibis session. The bill just
reported to the House, carrying an
appropriation of nearly 1000, 900,
will probably be passed by that
BODY, but it will die Of neglect when
IL reaches the Senate Committee.
The reason Why the Republican Sen
a,ors oppose this bill is very simple,
and it may be added, sensible. The
River and Harbor bill passed at the
last session appropriated $2l $685.
1887, by far the largest amount
ever appropriated at one time for
similar purpose. Only small por-
ton Of this money has yet been
spent and there is no necessity for a
new appropriation Tor at least year.
Senator Stewart, who is noted for
his obligiug disposition, has, by re-
quett, introduced curious sort of
bill. II provides for the construc-
ton Of $50 pneumatic torpedo
throwors, and approprlates 100000
600 fo The purpose. These guns
are to be capable Of throwing steel
torredoes charged with not less than
500 pounds Of dynamite or similar
material, distance Of two miles.
The bin also proposes that these
guus shall be distributed among the
fifteen principal harbors of the
United States to be used for pur-
poses Of defense.
Senator Sherman says: "Ihere II
not the slightest foundation for the
story now going the rounds Of the
press to The effect that refuse to
accept position in President-elect
Hanison $ Cabinet for fear | would
be succeeded by Gov. Foraker The
possibility of my seat in the Senate
being occupied by Gov. Foraker
will not weigh one hair in connec-
ton with my going into the State
department" This settles the alb
surd story, but it does not settle the
more important question as to
wheeler Senator Sherman is TO go
into the Cabinet.
The harsh criticisms of the Dem
ocratic members of the House upon
the action Of the Democratic Sena-
tors in not more vigorously opposing
the senate tariff bill has stirred the
latter gentlemen up. They have
held caucus and determined to
oppose the bin at every tdrn. This
will not change the resut-the bill
Is certain to pass the Senate but it
will result in stretching out the
debate and delaying the passage of
the bill for some time 1t was
hoped to get 1t through before the
holidays, but it will probably be
well along in January before it gets
through.
The hin making the Agricultural
Department an Executive Depart
meut of the Government, passed
both Houses al the last session, but
was amended by the Senate, This
week the House refused to agree to
the Senate amendments and oon-
ference was ordered. The bill as
passed 10y the House gives the new
department control Of the weather
bureau. This clause was struck out
bv the Senate. There is no opposi-
ton 10 me main features of the bill,

THE notion that the farmers more
than all others are burdened with
mortgages is OVERTHROW by an
official report in Illinois. This
shows that city and town real-estate
is more numerously as well as more
heavily incumbered than farm prop
erty. The farming lands of the
state are worth 5O0,00o,00o more

A PITIFUL TALE.
A 13-Year-0ld Girl Twice Wife. Mother
and Deserted.

ST. JOSEPH Mo-, Feb 6.-The police of
this city were today called upon to deal
with the most wonderful case with which
they have ever come in contact Sunday
night girl who looked not older than 10
years of age was taken up at the union
depot. She was given lodgings, and this
afternoon statec to the chief of police that
she had been deserted by her husband
and that she had come to St. Joseph to
look for him. The police were at first,
disinclined To believe the girls story, on
account of her extreme youth, but it was
afterwards learned that she was telling the
truth about her lost husband and that she
had been twice married and was the moth
er of two children, now deceased. although
she is not yet II years of age The girls
story is given as reported to the police, and
Is as follows: About two years ago she
was married in Grundy county, Missouri,
to Robert Patterson, boy Il years of age,
she was then 10 years of age, and both of
her children was the result of this mar
riage, Her husband died in the mean
while and she returned to her fathers
home near Highland station. Her further
seemed to regard her as a burden and she
was compelled to marry John Stevenson,
a young man of the neighborhood, %
years OF age. The last marriage occurred
about three months ago and until Tines
day last the two lived happily together
On the last mentioned day Stevenson de-
camped, leaving her without food or fuel
She had been sold, and she started in pur-
suit of her husband. She saw him in
Mound City, but he continued to eiude her
and she started for st. Joseph. She was
kindly taken care of, and Ma or Doyle pro-
vided her with a ticket to Hickory Station,
Grundy county where her father resides.
