DUB WASHINGTON LETTER.
WASHINGTON, September q, 1888.
Editor Herald:
Senator Edmunds offered joint reso
luton, which was passed by the Senate
appropriating 100000 to be expended
under the direction of the president in re-
lief of the suffering caused by the yellow
fever now prevailing in the state of Flor.
ida. Before this letter is, printed the res
olution will have passed the House and
been signed by the president, and some
of the money will be on it's way to Flor
ida.
Senator Stewart made speech on the
presidents message on Wednesday. He
took the ground that the existing stag
nation and depression in prices did not
result from the tariff, as claimed by Mr..
Cleveland, but from the decentralization
of silver.
Contrary to general expectation the
! Senate by vote Of Fl to 20 refused to
reconsider the vote by which it passed
the Chinese exclusion bill. Senator Ed
munds, who arrived in the city the day
after the vote was taken, offered a reso-
luton directing the presiding officer of
the Senate to retain possession of the
bill. Objection was made to the resolu-
ton, and in the meantime the bill was
sent to the House. After it had been
signed by the speaker and was ready to
go to the president, the Chairman of the
House Committee on Enrolled Bills de-
cided to hold it until Senator Edmund's
resolution was acted upon by the Senate
The idea Of Mr.. Edmunds is to hold the
bill until something definite is heard from
China.
The Democrats of the House having, in
caucus, decided that no resolution for
| adjournment should originate in the
House, it is extremely probable that
there will be no adjournment before cleo
ton, and no one need be surprised if
there is none at all until the 4th of
March, 1889.
Representative Hovey, who is the re-
| publican candidate for governor of Indi-
| ana, returned tn his seat in the House
this week, but his stay here is uncertain,
as he is anxious to return to the fray
He was asked what were the chances of
| republican victory in his state and in re-
ply said: 81 think they are good. be-
lieve that Harrison and Morton will car
ry Indiana by at least 10000 plurality.
To what causes do l attribute such a re-
suit? Principally to the unfavorable
action of President Cleveland and DEM
| ocratic House in granting pensions to
| soldiers. Another reason is that we have
a decided advantage in the tariff fight,
| but after all it is the solid soldier vote
which we are going to receive that makes
Indiana certain republican state this
| year."
Senator Morgan has made public a
| document signed py sixteen senator's, ff
| teen democrats and one republican,
vouching for his sobriety, he having been
| charged by Senator Mitchell with being
intoxicated on the floor of the Senate
Chamber
The democrats are securing the depart
ments for campaign contributions.
Senator Blodgett of New Jersey, is a
| democrat. He IS also somewhat absent
| minded. While group of gentlemen
| composed of both parties were carrying
| on an animated conversation, Mr.. Blodg-
EFT surprised the entire party by saying
quietly as though talking to himself:
| 'Cleveland would have been reelected if
it had not been for his tariff message and
pension vetoes." This was greeted with
hearty laughter, in which the democrats
| present had to Join.
| Democrats are constantly denying that
they are tree traders, but when senator's
say, as Senator Jones of Arkansas, did on
Wednesday in public speech, "a protect
i've tariff is system of naked robbery"
what are the people to think?
The House bill making the Department
OF Agriculture an executive department,
was discussed several times during the
week. The only point of contention ap-
pears to be tie clause of the bill transfer
ring the Weather Bureau to the new de-
partment.
A delegation IF fifteen women, headed
by Mrs. ]. Elem Foster, president of the
Woman's Christian Temperance Union of
Iowa, appeared before the Senate sub
committee engaged in preparing the sub
stitute for the Milk bill. They Were in
PRODUCED by Senator Allison as delega-
ton who wished to be heard in respect
to woman's especial interest in the pro.

quent address, DESERT ling her experience
