ter, n. Y, July 80. He was a commercial
traveller in the employ of firm of marble
dealers in Boston. He wrote:

WASHINGTON. d. c., Sept. %, 1890.
What is modern craftsmanship? The
question seems pertinent in view of GER
tain occurrences which have taken place
ON the floor of the House of Representa-
tives recently. Several members of one
party have engaged in personal q~uarrels
and two Of them even came TO blows.
Surely that isn't the average mans idea of
craftsmanship. During the past week the
representatives of the other great party
have been giving the country an exhibition
that even the most ignorant do not mistake
for craftsmanship. 1t is not statesman
ship to kick open a locked door to the
chamber of the House; it is not states
mansIip to run out bareheadcd and stand
in groups around the corridors 0r congrc-
gate in Il neighbering hotel, afraid toshow
their faces on the l0or of the House; il is
not craftsmanship to take photographs of
the backs OF fleeing members and of their
empty seats. No, brethren, none Of these
things are iii the slightest degree related
to craftsmanship. Craftsmanship has been
land ON the shelf and partisan politics rules
the roost. The Republicans are trying to
seat WE negro contestants and the Demo
Gratis to prevent it, hence all these lidicu-
lous things. Nothing short of a quorum
of Republicans sill scat the negroes, aud
it isu't certain then, as more than one Re-
publican is known to agree With Repre-
sentative Cheadle, of Indiana, who made IA
speech opposing the seating OF one of
them.
Mr.. Harrison promptness in signing the
River and llarbor bill is explained in vali-
Gus ways by those who had been persist
emily predicting a veto. Some say that
he was coerced under protest, into signing
it, by the leaders Of ais party, and others
that his hints about vetoing the bill were
only intended to obtain Senatorial support
for measures in which he was especially
interested. The fact of the matter is, that
a River and Harbor bill is one Of the most
popular measures With the voters Of tie
country, particularly Of those sections
wht re the money is spent, that ever gets
before Congress. and that it requires a
great deal of moral courage to veto one,
and Mr.. Harrison has not forgotten that
NJ. Cleveland made a host of enemies by
vetoing one Of them, likewise Mr.. Arthur,
and he is laying awake o'nights now tn
make friends, not enemies.
This desire to make friends explains the
great interest Mr.. Harrison took in the
anti-lottery bill, which has also become a
law. lie knew that ninety niue out of a
hundred of the educated men aud women
of the country favored such a law and lac
threw all the weight ofhis influence in
Congress for it, and it's an accomplished
fact, and Mr.. Harrison and his admins
tration will lie commended therefore by
everybody interested in the progress Of
moral reform.
The enemies Of the compound lard bill
are now training their guns on the Senate.
Senator Blair on Saturday presented 4 tel
egram from the State Republican Conyen-
ton of South Carolina asking him to use
his influence to defeat the bill. II is
thought that the Senate viii adopt Senator
! Paddoek's pure God bill as a substitute for
