WASHINGTON LETTER.
From Our Reg ular Correspc ndent.

TTOll puT hts uluT COTTcSpC uucDl.
Washington, Dec. 7, 1891.
Hon. Edward Mcpherson, the
retiring Clerk of the House of
Representatives, who is probably
as widely known among republl-
cans, owing to his having been
Secretary OF the Republican Con-
gressional Committee in a number
of campaigns, as almost any man
in public lite who has never been
candidate for national office,
called the House to order to-day,
as the two hands met on the face
of the big clock, over the door of
the main entrance, and the session
Of the House of Representatives
was formally declared open.
The first business was the
swearing in of the members,
which, In order to save time, WAS
done by State delegations. As
soon as this was over the House
proceeded to the election of its
officers. The democrat was of
course, elected Speaker, receiving
the unanimous vote of his party,
although it WAS plain to be seen
that the protracted and bitter con-
test, ending only few minutes
before the convening of the House,
had left its wounds and that a
goodly portion of them did SO un-
willing-how unwillingly will be
made manifest later on IN the
chickering's that are certain to
come over the hestowal of the
committee chairmanships by the
Speaker, a task which will hardly
be accomplished before the holi-
day recess. The republicans vot-
ed solidly for Mr. Reed, and to a
man they were proud to thus pub
licly endorse his able performance
of the duties Of the Speaker dur
ing the long to be remembered
Flfty-frst Congress.
Mr.. Mcpherson then retired
from the chair and the newly
elected Speaker, escorted by Mr..
Reed and his principal competi-
tor before the democratic caucus
for the nomination, took the chair
amid the applause of those demo.
Gratis who had been his original
supporters in the caucus. Then
the House proceeded to the cleo
ton of its other officers. All Of
the retiring House officials were
honored by the republicans with
complimentary nominations.
The Speaker appointed the
usual committee to join with u like
committee from the Senate to per-
sonally notify the President that
the Fifty-second Congress was in
session and ready to receive any
message that he might wish to
send it. Then came what is al
ways the most amusing thing
about the opening of q new Con-
gress-the drawing for seats. Pre-

liminary to this proceeding oil Of
the members we're requested to
stand up, beyond the brass rail-
ing, which rms around the hall,
just at the back of the last row Of
seats. Each member WAS then
given a number, and as many
marbles as there were members
were correspondingly numbered
and placed in box. A blind
folded boy then appeared on the
scene, and after the box had been
well shaken he drew out one mar
BILE. The member whose number
corresponded with that OH the
marble drawn had the first choice
OF seat. This was repeated amid
the laughter and cheers of the
members and the crowded gal
leries until the members were all
provided with seats. Some OF the
most prominent members of both
parties, as usual, drew the poorest
seats, but this was remedied by
other members who were more for
tunate trading with them. Two Of
the members Holman of Indi-
ana, on the democratic side, and
ONeil of Pennsylvania on the re-
publican side-were in accordance
with the usual custom, allowed as
the Oldest members of the House
to select their seats before the
drawing began. Owing to the
preponderance of democrats in
the House, many of them are seat
ed on the west side of the cham
Der, which is known as the Repub-
lican side.
Vice President Morton presided
over the opening session o. the
Senate. which owing to the Presi-
dent. having decided to withhold
his annual message until Tuesday,
WAS confined to the business OF
swearing in the new Senators, OF
whom there were sixteen, an un-
usually large number.
Commissioners from q large
number of the British Colonies
are here, and all Of them confess
to being on the enxious bench lest
the President shall take advantage
of the authority given him by the
reciprocity clause of the McKin.
ley Tariff law to restore the duty
upon their hides and sugar after
Jan. l, next. They, one and all
wish to reciprocate with us suffi.
GENTLY to save themselves.
The Mills-Crisp deadlock which
existed in the democratic caucus
from Saturday until to-day, is but
a demonstration of the harmony
that exists between the Cleveland
and Cleveland wings of thai
party in the House, and it may be
added out Of the House too.

The silk industry of th'

The silk industry OF the
United States has had a remarka-
BILE growth. We are second only
to France in our manufactures OF
silk, the value of which last year
was $50, 100000 three-6fths the
value of the French silk produc-
ton. The $4,000 American silk
operatives of 1874, havs grown to
$4,000. In that year we made
$50, 100000 worth of silk and i'm
ported about s23,000,000. In
1890 the corresponding figures
we're S66,000,000 to s34,000,000
less the duty. Silk factories have
sprung up from New En- gland to
Kansas. That the quality and
patterns of American silks are
consta ntly improving need hardly
be added, for our inventors have
been active in this branch as in all
others.
The most nauseating dose
that Republicans have had to swal-
low for sometime, is the editori-
al effort of Wednesdays Airksville
Daily Journal, to smooth over the
signal defeat of Mr.. Hatch in the
Speakership contest and make
the people believe that the Mis-
souri, Congressman should have
stultifed themselves by standing
by him in his unreasonable re-
quest. "State pride and good
politics" means the editor of the
Journal, demanded that the dele
cation stand firm and united" for
Mr.. Hatch. Is the Journal editor
SO interested in Mr.. Hatch's well
fare that he can not see that the
first exhibition of State pride and
respect for decent politics was
made, when Mansur left theBogus-
Butter Statesman aud voted for
Mills? MIR. Hatch was unworthy
of even the compliment ary vote of
the Missouri delegation, and his
actions on the floor of the House
last Monday has convinced every
Democrat in the state of his un-
worthlness. He has paraded him
self as the "favorite sen of Mis-
souri," when his only CLAIM to
such standing was the support of
a Republican paper and a few
Republican political trlcksters of
the First District. Mr.. II atch
now occupies the least enviable
position of any Democrat in the
state, and if he must be white
washed let 1t be the work of pa
pers of his own party. II Re-
publican paper feels shat it must
defend Hatch, it should at least
be frank enough to begin the edi-
torial defense with the word:
'Dicteted."
