WASHINGTON, January 20, 1889.
Daily LIGHT.
On Saturday the Inaugural COM
mittee reported S5O,573 had been sub
scribed, of which Sal 300 had been de-
posted in bank. The chairman stated
quarters for 36,759 applicants were
secured, with enough for 20, l49 more
within their control. Over $4,000 CIV
ilians have applied for places in the
line. The G.. D. p. will have parade
in keeping with their victory at the
polls.
Southern senators invariably start
into the discussion of the tariff ques-
ton now with growl, and close as
hot as chill con carne. The old style
courtesy that characterized them be-
fore the election is wholly wanting
to use Texas phrase, at went to the
hollow
Coke looks as if no diet less SUBJ
stantial than pig-iron would satisfy
him; Butler and Morgan writhe and
suuirm under the attacks of their
northern tormentors as those did on
the hot gridirons of the Spanish inqai-
sitors. Pugh, of Alabama, filled the
vice-president' seat few days ago,
as only he could fill it-Senator In
gals has much less physical dimen-
sions, and yet the chair is much
better filled by him. Pugh is the
senator, who, in the investigation of
the Washington county outrages.
declared himself to be a typical
southern man, and 1 am proud of
! it," which meant the confederacy
first, the union as foil, and
the Mississippi plan irrevocably.
Senator Jones, of Arkansas, as he
lay on lounge in the Senate cloak
room a few days ago, was heard hum
ming:
'We have cherished fair hopes, we have pro-
tected brave schemes,
We have liv'd till we find them Elusive as
dreams"
In eastern lands they talk in flow
ers, says Percival, and small page

recalled the line as he meandered
| through the senatorial desks last
week to place them on Hon. George
F. Hoar's desk, a gift from Massachu-
sets admirers, to show their pleasure
at his unanimous reelection. Senator
| Spooner reached over and shook his
hand warmly. Senator Evarts
advanced, and rendered his
congratulations in way that
must have been humorous from
the smiles that followed. Senator
Hoar is never impulsive, yet always
active. Though in his 63rd year, but
few, if any, do more work in the COM
mittee room or on the senate floor.
His self-control is perfect.
The columns of the daily papers
here show how extremes meet-the
following sadly speaks of one, who
"once in fortunes lap fed high'----

would dispose of a fine thread lace
shawl, fiounce, and other valuable
laces at one quarter their value"
Who can imagine what her thoughts
are of the coming inaugural ball, or
the weekly receptions at the White
house, for these point to an acquaint-
ance with each in days gone by.
