The Magnificent Floral Display at q New

One of the favorite lounging places
for uptown Brooklynites is the sj.
walk in front Of the extensive garden,
in Franklyn avenue of Mr.. Stone. Che
editor of the J0HrHM Of C9amsra.
Only low iron railing separates he
onlooker from the wonderfully ycplam
lawns and iloWer-beds planted With
mathematical eXactuess and kept al.
most miraculously neat, says the New

the head gardener brings from the bot
houses such Of his rarest treasure, as
viii stand a brief exposure i'm the open
air and deposits them near the railing
Mr. Stone usually stands close by and
is quite ready to explain and descau
on the beauties and peculiarities Of aE
flowers
The garden covers about an acre, and
at the back are long ranges Of glass
houses. Immediately in front Of these
are great beds of roses. The writer
asked Mr. Stone if Che vast increase 10
the number of buildings and the conse
quent additional Smokiuess of the ah
did not interfere with rose-growiug ont
of doors. Mr.. Stone pointed TO a bed
OF white roses and said "A few DAYS
ago told friend of mine that Thought
there were 1900 blossoms on that
bed. He laughed at my estimate and
was a bit nettled, | called the gardener
and ordered 2, 500 roses cut. The men

was originally two words, Jacques

was a little more than twenty years
ago, and was the second or third year
after the importation of the rose. All
the stock was held by a grower up che.

1t is said that bill will be intro.
duced at the coming Legislature in
regard to the state treasurer's office.
1t will deprive him from handling
any of the state funds. The bill is
to appoint the commissioners, or
trustees, composed of the Governor,
Secretary of State and Attorney
General. These commissioners, or
trustees, are to designate the banks
in which the funds shall be depos-
tied, and the banks are to furnish
security for double the amount.
The treasurer is only to issue
checks to the bank most convenient
to the party that receives it, and he
is not required to furnish any bonds.
If this bill Is passed, the state treas
urer will get his $4,000 year and
no more, so it will not be such a
"big snap" to be state treasure.

WASHINGT TON LETTER.
From our regular correspondent.
WASHINGTON. January "a. Is,


Senator Ingalls, is still post
master in the art of excoriating
democrats, particularly those who
are his colleagues in the United
States Senate. Yesterday afternoon
the Senator from Kansas made a
characteristic speech to crowded
galleries. 1t was made in reply to
Senator Buffers remarks in favor of
his proposition to send the negroes
to Africa.
Speaker Reed is ruling the House
with a strong and steady hand, and
now that the republicans have pulled
themselves together and are acting
in concert the democrats find it
utterly impossible to succeed in any
dilatory tactics. As soon as one Of
them attempts to do anything irreg.
ular Mr.. Reed decides promptly
against him and the House stands
by the Speakers decision, or at least
the republican majority does, which
amounts to the same thing. Of
course the democrats who expected
to keep the House in a tangie all the
time by fillibustering are kicking
hard aud yelling "usurpation," but
Mr.. Reed only smiles at them and
goes ahead in his own way. The
republicans are congratulating them
selves that no mistake was made in
electing Mr. Reed to be Speaker
Senator Chandler has offered q
concurrent resolution instructing the
committees on immigration I'M
House and Senate to investigate the
working of all United States and
state laws in regard TO immigrating
from foreign countries, and also to
investigate the workings of the con
tracts made by the Secretary Of the
Treasury, under Act Of Congress, of
August 3, 1882, with various state
commissions, boards aud officers.
The Western Congressional asso.
citation had a house warming here
this week in the quarters that have
been secured for the future home of
the association.
Secretary Blaine is SO greatly pros
trated with grief for the death of
his son, Walter, that he has not yet
been able to regularly resume his
duties at the State department.
The House committee on Rules
had a meeting yesterday, and it is
understood practically agreed on the
schedule of Rules to be reported
to the House, which may be expected
to be reported almost any day now.
There will of course be two reports,
one by the Speaker for the republic
caus, aud one by ex-Speaker Car
isle for himself and ex-Speaker
Randall, the democratic members Of
the committee.
The House isn't making very
rapid progress in disposing of its
Worlds Fair question, in fact IL
doesn't seem to be making any
progress At all. The trouble seems
to be that none of the advocates Of
the rival cities wish to take a single
step forward unless it fayors the
particular city for which they are
working. Unless some sort Of a
compromise is agreed upon there
will be no Worlds Fair.
The President has removed a.
batch Of Receivers Of public moneys

are more removals Of the same sort

feet each and he went like whirl-

mile in forty-tve seconds or all was
lost. 1t was an exciting moment.
But the buck got there with both
feet and had just two seconds to
spare. There was no great excite
ment over the result. The gamblers
present were accustomed to winning
and losing large amounts. One St.
Lop.s man, however, did make re-
mark about put up job and even
drew aJderringer and demanded his
money returned. Stanton raised his
arm, and the fifty or more bucks
who stood around to witness the
race dropped their long blanket and
stood calmly leaning on ugly looking
guns. That settled it. The race
was over! The young racing bucks
spent money freely for a while, as
did also the chief who interfered
with the race. Young Desnoyers
was never seen again, either in
Green Bay or Detroit. 1t was said
he went south to redeem his lost
thousands. 1t was the most remark

day what they are now, columns
upon columns of its report would
have followed. As it is this is, |

Our popular congressman has
received many very lattering notices
in the press of the country during
the past few years, but for a mere
gossiping paragraph the following
from the Kansas City Glo6e, Of Jan.
10Th, contains as much that is true
and prophetic as any we have seen:
"Visitors to the committee on ways and
means during the public hearings concerning
customs duties have noticed "a ver5 young man
sitting with the committee and some strangers
have asked whether that boy is a congressman
or a clerk of the committee. Those OF US who
have become acquainted with the men who
make our laws have learned long since who
that boy" is. He Is a member Of congress,
representing the 30 Wis district, and is now
serving his third term. His name Is Robert ".
LaFollette, but friends call him Bob He Is
one OF the clearest thinkers. one of the most
logical dcbaters, one of the most honest, manly,
sincere men in the house and an orator ranking
among the foremost. He win be heard in no
uncertain manner during the coming debate

TX making reference to the Ben
nett law the Democrat Of this city
says in its last issue that "demo-
cratic newspapers are not greatly
concerned over the matter" Could
any statement be wider from the
truth? A perusal of the democratic
papers of this state will prove TO a
certainty the fallacy of such an
assertion. Every democratic paper
dishes out large doses continually
a few favoring the bill, but the ma
iority aim at it with death stunning
blows. 1t is hard to believe that
this majority is honestly opposed to
the importance of teaching the
English language in our schools.
There is another and only motive, a
political one, and that is to ALLEVIATE
those Of foreign nationality who
have affiliated with the Republican
party. Is not the English language
the only one adopted by this coun
try? "Obnoxious" is it? and
"smacks strong Of knowuothingism"
does it? 1t is hoped the Democrat
is only fooling. The English Ian
guage and the Bennett bill must 60
together, and cannot well be opposed
by any loyal citizen.
Possibly the bill has imperfec-
tions as is natural for all human en-
actments, but the spirit thereof is
good aud right, intended only for
the development of citizenship
that shall be free AZ possible from
illiteracy, to Americanize voters SO
that they may exercise their powers
intelGgently aud independently, and
TO give every child fair chance to
become self.supporting and pro-
ductlve citizen

that the only means for colored per
