WASHINGTON LETTER.

Washington. D. c., March -, $50
ED. T1MEs:-It is not likely that the
Senate bill, providing for erection of
post Office building in size and cost
proportionate to the size of the
place, will ever become law. The
bill is the outcome of large number
of bills which have passed the
house this session for public build
ings, but even the senators see so
many objections to the proposed
plan that the expression is all against
its passage. So large number of
bills for public buildings could not
have passed the house but for the
fact of the large surplus in the treas
ury and the reduction OF revenues
that follow upon the passage of the
tariff bill. The members see that
now or never is the time to get their
public buildings and so the golden
opportunity is taken and the build
ings go up.
Senator Vest is very much worried
over the widely circulated rumor
that be intends not to accept anoth-
er election as senator and will retire

HENRY GEORGES RIVAL.
Millionaire Standfortls : Plan for the
Abolition of Poverty

Leland Stamford, the millionaire
senator from California, has some
anti-poverty ideas himself, and may
yet become rival of Henry George.
Being asked the other day how he
would abolish beggary the senator
replied:
There is only one way. Dry up |
the source-abolish the conditions |
that make beggars. To try to cure
poverty by street charity is like try
ing to stop a hole in your roof by |
mopping up the puddles that gath
er on your floor"
Touching the conditions l can
but vaguely indicate them. he con
tinued. Let me say, in the first
| place, that it is not millio naires that
cause poverty, by good deal. No
body is worse off because the Van
derbilts are worth S200,000.00O. II
| they had not the wealth it would
not exist at all. It is only in this
community where millionaires are
| possible that the average man has
enough to eat Now what causes
povertys
| First-Ignorance of how to save
money. I found beggars in Califor
MA in 1850, when any man could go
out with tin pan and earn s. before
breakfast. When by working three
Ihours day Il man could make his
board and clothes, there We're always
| shiftless creatures around, whom the
rest had to support 1t IS the same
way now The soil is wonderfully
fruitful here. Nearly 10000 men
produce all the wheat of the state
and export a million tons of it every
year, and yet these beggars. We
can cut, thrash and sack wheat at an
expense of Il cents hundred pounds
| potatoes cost only half a cent a
pound and flour is only 81 barrel
and vet there is want. An impor-
tant cause IS unthrift. Poor peo-
| pie do not understand economy or
! | practice it, as almost every rich man
has had to at some time III his life.
I really believe that there would be
beggars in the world before night
if 800 gold pieces were to be sown
broadcast every morning and so dis
tributed that every man, woman and
child were certain 70 get some
Second-The sale and use of liQ
uor. As long as there are ten times
as many saloons in this country a:
there are of both churches anC
schools, and they are mainly sup
ported by the very poor, the source
of misery are pretty obvious.

NORTH CAROLINA'S NEW CON
GRESSMEN.
BRIEF SKETCHES OF THEM AS PUB.
LISHED BY THE WORLD.

The New York World of Friday
published a special from Raleigh
giving sketches of the newly elected
Congressman from North Carolina,
as follows:
There will be four new members
from North Carolina in the next
House of Represe natives. Thomas
@. skinner, from the first district,
has none OF the manners or appear
ance Of a Congressman, but he Is GER
tainly man OF affairs. He served IN
the Forty seventh and Forty eighth
Congresses, is a man of the people,
and is extremely popular in his dis
trict He had TO beat " hite, the
Republican candidate. Skinner is 46
years old and left the State Univer
sity to enter the Confederate army as
a private in the First North Carolina
Regiment and won the rank of Lieu
tenant After the war he practiced
law. He is witty, and this and bis
plain ways make his people some
times call him the Nat Macon Of this
generation. He is az inyeLeraJe fish
erman. Once, after some days sport
at home, he returned to his seat in
Congress and there fell asleep during
the discussion of an important meas
IRE. Suddenly he awOke in the MID
die Of q dream of having hooked a
monster fish, and, jumping up, he
shouted: 'Ive got him. while his
brother members roared with laugh
ter.
benjamin H. Bum, who is to rep
resent the Fourth or Metropolitan
district, is also a man Of the people
in t"e broadcast sel.se E8!s h.2 al
hearty and an inveterate hand shaker.
He is "A years old aud only had
eparntOry-school education, hav-
ing entered The Confederate Army
when only II. He is now an ahie
criminal lawyer and a farmer. Bum
is a master of invective, and this is
so we'll known that his competitor,
Nichols. dared not meet him on the
stump. He is full of humOr. When
be was nominated he stepped forward
and said: Gentlemen, Eli win
That was Bum all over.
Henry L. Cheatham. member-elect

is a bright mulatto, and was born in
what was then Granville, but is now
Vance county. He is not YET thirty
years of age. He obtained his e0uca-
ton aU Shaw University, ct E3die.gl.
He is tail, quite stout and quiet In
manner. 1t is his first experience in
public life. By profession he IS a
lawyer.
The other new Republican member
is Hamilton c. Ewart from the Ninth
district. lie IS tall stout man.
Like Skinner, he cares little Tor dress,
and looks like a cattle-raiser. He is
about forty years old. Two years
ago he was i'll the Legislature and was
the brains Of his party there. He
was the special champion of the
railway commission bill, which failed
to pass. Among Democrats Ewart
is regarded as one Of the ablest and
best men in his party. Though nat
urally indolent he is man of force"
