ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATCH.1
WASHINGTON, January 20. - General
Charles E. Hooker, of Mississippi, who was
drafted by. the Democratic committee to
make speeches in doubtful States, tells how
he had to cancel the last weeks engagement
with the committee to attend to getting out
the vote in his own Congressional district.
When he arrived home, just before the
election, he found that no preparations for
the campaign had been made by the local
Democratic committee. In consequence he
was compelled to visit each county in the
district, travelling in some instances for
hours in buggy or on horseback, away
from railroad lines. OF course he won, but
had he not CHANGED to be home at the time
he might have been defeated.
The story of this Congressional district is
that of others. They went by default in
many instances, the National Democratic
Committee seemingly knowing or caring
nothing about the Congressional campaign.
A gentleman prominent in Democratic cam
paign management says that Secretary Nc
Clelland, of the Democratic Executive Com
mittee, told him as late as September %,
that the National Committee had then no
list of doubtful Congressional districts, and
no means of knowing what districts needed
aid. 1t is also well-known fact that the
Congressional Democratic Committee raised
no money for the Congressional campaign,
its active treasurer devoting his energies to
raising funds for the National Committee, a
task in which he succeeded beyond their ex-
pectations. The money, if it had been we'll
applied, would probably have made the
House of Representatives Democratic be-
yond doubt.

STUDYING HIS PART.

Vice.President Morton Spends Week
Learning What He Has TO Do.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATcH.1
WASHINGTON, January 2O.-Vice-P -Presi-
dent Morton has spent much time with
Senator ingalls, during his visit coaching
himself in the general rules of procedure as
observed in the Senate. As nearly every
thing in that body is done by unanimous
consent, Senatorial courtesy, or precedent,
rather than by an infexible set of rules,
the position of presiding officer Of the Senate
is by no means arduous.
twill be necessary for the Senate to elect
a President pro tenn, when the Vice Presi-
dent absents himself without designating
the presiding officer, so Mr.. Ingalls,, it is
understood, will. be selected by his col
leagues few days after the meeting Of the
next Congress, provided the Vice President
gives the opportunity by absenting himself.
However, as President pro tenn with the
Vice President regularly acting as presiding
officer, he will not receive the additional
So, 1000 per annum which as President pro
TEN without a Vice President he has received
for the past two years.

ON EDUCATIONAL MATTERS.
A Committee from Allegheny TO Spend a
Few DAYS at Harrisburg.

Mr.. Richard Scandrett, Secretary of the
Board of School Controllers, of Allegheny,
and Prof. W. H. Dodds. of the Allegheny
High School, left for Harrisburg last
evening to look after the interests of the
various school bills to come before the
Legislature this session. Mr.. John Morrow
was to have gone in the place of Prof.
Dodds, but the sudden illness of his brother
prevented him.
Mr.. Scandrett is we'll enough acquainted
with the manner of conducting business in
Harrisburg to know that if bills are not put
on the calendar early in the session their
chances for becoming laws are poor.
The first and most important measure is
the compulsory education bill. The Board
of Control, of Allegheny, is its father. They
wish to have the measure brought before the
mind of every person in the State who is
interested in educational matters. Who
will introduce the bill is not yet decided
upon. Several have asked for the honor.
The second measure is the High School
bill. By the existing law the value of
High School property cannot exceed $780,
600. 1t is the intention of the bill to have
the existing laws so amended that the value
can be increased. As the value of the
High School site in Allegheny is $50, 900,
but 10000 remains with which to erect a
building. This is not sufficient, and an in
creased valuation is desired.
The third measure is the evening school
bill.
The committee will spend four days at
Harrisburg in the interest of the bills.

Spectacles for III Horses.

For some years the more humane have en-
deavored to give our animals the benefit of
medical skill, and eminent physicians and sur
geons have not hesitated to come to the relief
of suffering horses. A writer in an English
publication states how he come to the conclu-
sion that his favorite horse was short-sighted:
HE had his eyes examined by an oculist, who
certified that his horse had No. eye and re-
Quired concave glasses. These were obtained
and fitted on the horses head. At first the
horse was little surprised, but he soon showed
signs Of the keenest pleasure, and he now
stands all the morning looking over the half
door of his stable, with his spectacles on. gaz-
ing around him with an air of sedate enjoy
ment. When driven his manner is altogether
changed from his former timidity, but if past
ured without his spectacles on he hangs about
the gate, whinnying in minor key If the
spectacles are replaced he kicks up his heels
and scampers about with delight"
