WASHINGTON LETTER.
From Our Regular Corrcspo ndent
WASHINGTON, July Is, g

The President, like all other
Republicans, is perfectly satisfied
with the record of the democrats
in the first session of the Fifty
second congress, soon to end, and
believes that it alone, to say moth
ing of the magnificent record of
| the National Administration
would be sufficient to elect the
Republican national ticket. The
Democrats although having two
| thirds of the house. have ac-
complished practically nothing.
They came in power shouting re-
peal of the Mckinley tariff law,
a shout which very soon quieted
down to whisper, and when they
began what one of their own numb
er, Pierce, of Tennessee, has char
ecterized as "pop-gun attack on
the tariff" they were openly
taunted by Jerry Simpson with
being afraid to vote for bill re-
pealing the Mckinley act.
They owe not a few of their
seats in the House to misrepre-
sentations of the so-called "bil-
lion dollar" Congress, and their
promises on the stump and
in the columns of the
party press to enconomize in pub
lie appropriations. They have
kept those promises by appropri-
ating in the aggregate more than
S6,000,000 in excess of the amount
appropriated by the first session
of the last Congress. Is it any
| wonder that Republicans are salts
fed with the Democratic record?
Washington G. A. r., men, in
addition to preparing to entertain
their comrades who will come to
the National encampment in Sep
tember, have begun to work for
the election of q member of Il
Washington post to the honorable
position of Commander-in- Chief.
The Washington csndidst is Col.
Charles P. Lincoln, of Michigan,
at present Deputy Commissioner
of Pensions. Col. Lincoln was a
candidate for the position at the
last encampment, hut withdrew
for fear that his candidacy might
prevent Washington getting the
encampment.
Another session Of Congress is
to close without even the ground
having been purchased upon
which to build new Government
Printing office, Notwithstanding
the constant dangers to which the
5000 employees in the present un.
safe building are exposed. This
is of itself scandalous enough,
but the means by which Congress
has been controlled in this matter
are still more scandalous. Two
years ago site would have been
purchased, and by this time the
building might have been nearly

How to Sing Without a Mast ter.

And sing we'll too, is not 80
difficult if you know how to cult
vate your natural voice. It's all
very well If you can afford to have
the best teachers; but there are
thousands who cannot afford to
spend money for instructions, yet
who could sing as well as the best
if they only understood the un-
derlying principles which every
one no matter how gifted by ma
tnre, has to learn. The article
Glow to sing without a Master" :"
published in Demorest's Family
Magazine for August, explains
these principles In clear, untech-
nical language, also gives simple
rules for exercising the voice; and
anyone practicing these rules will
soon notice a marked improve
ment in its quality and strength.
"Flower Missions and Their
Work. is an interesting and very
suggestive paper, beautifully Ill

it will appreciate flowers at true r
value, and realize how much even
the lowliest blossoms mean to
those unfortunate creatures who
are deprived of them. There is a
characteristic story by Ella Whee-
Ter Wilcox, "Why Forthingale
Did not Mary the Widow" and q
humorous one, Letting the Sta
ble," by Mary Kyle Dallas, be-
sides other, grave and gay, which
make this an especially enjoyable
midsummer number. Mothers of

completed, if an ex-member of the
Y. 5, Senate Malone, of Virgi-
MIA had not objected, and sue
ceeded by means of his secret re-
lations with Senators, mostly
democrats, in postpouing the se-
lection of u site uutil the present
Congress met. The secret of Gen.
Mahones favoring postpone meDt
was that he owned ground
he wanted to sell to the
Government. aud the old com.
mittee having selected another
site postponment would give
him suuther chance with Il new
committee.
The new committee showing no
intention OF fsvoring MHhnue 4
ground, one Of the Democratic
Senators be controls-Nest of
Missouri, attempted to take the
matter out of the hands of the
committee by offering an amend
ment to the sundry civil appro-
priation bill authorizing the pur-
chase of Mahone's site and appro-
propriating the money to pay for
it. This insult to the Joint COM
mittee recently authorized to So
lect the site WAS promptly resent
ed by the Senate, but Malone was
consoled for his defeat by seeing
an amendment instructing the
committee to report the site select
ed next December adopted, which
means another postponement of
six months or more and another
chance for Malone to control the
committee.
The third party Congressman
are not happy. They have been
trying for months to organize a
Congressional campaign commit
tee for the distribution of docn-
ments etc. and they now confess
that they cannot do it. Reason:
lack of funds; those who have
money are not disposed to contri-
butte it for the dissemination of
visionary ideas.
Secretary of State Foster says
the recent action of the Canadian
Government concerning Marine
tolls Is in no sense concession to
US. He does not say so-he is too
good q diplomatic to give himself
asay-but it is evident that he
believes Congressional action to
be necessary to bring Canada to
her senses. Senator Higgins has
introduced sweeping bill, cutting
off about every privilege that Can
ada enjoys by the courtesy of this
country; that would be retaliation
indeed, if it became law.
Mr.. Thomas Ii. Carter, the new
chairman Of the Republican Nat

Mr.. Cleveland's London
boom is setting in strong. He is
the ideal statesman of the Eng
llsh free trader.
kansas farmers have no
the this year to attend calamity
meetings. They are hsyesting the
biggest wheat crop ever grown in
the state.
MIR. Hstch's anti-optiLr
bill is having tough time of it,
but it is no tougher than the
time Hatch will have in getting
elected after he beats Giles fol
the nomination.
The feeling that there
should be change in Missouri's
politics is permeating every nook
and corner of the state. Even the
public highways are crying out
against futher lease Of power to
the Democratic party.
Since the nomination of
Stone for Governor by the Demo-
cratic convention at Jefferson City,
Democracy would as we'll draw
out of the race in Missouri. st.
Louis will give Warner a MAORI
ty of 10000.
ALL the elements of pros
perity are present in the large vol
ume of both domestic and foreign
business doing; in the easy condi-
ton of money matters, and re-
munerative earnings of the rail-
roads. In addition to these items
it is to be noted that gold exports
are apparently approaching the
point of cessation.
The boy on the farm gets
SIS to SIS month and works
twelve to fourteen hours day.
The boy that sbovels clnders eight
hours day at the Homestead
mills gets $40 a month. The farm
boy does not strike, and all the
ranting of political demagogues
will fail to convince him that the
boys at Homestead had Just cause
for grievance.
This year the Democratic
party has the courage of the con-
victions derived half century
ago from the slave oligarchY of
the South, which, employing the
cheapest slave labor in agricultur-
al pursuits, wished to buy the
manufactures of the cheapest pau
per labor in Europe. A protec-
tive tariff meant then, as it means
now, diversified industries, high
wages and free labor. Whenever
the Democratic party has fear
Iessly enuncisted its faith in free
trade it has been beaten at the
polls. 1t has made victory surer
for the Republicans in 1892 by
declaring its true faith, and Re-
publlcans everywhere welcome
the issue.

pose. The same is true of the ant lion
 when it prepares @ pitfall and lies in wait
 for its prey, just as any hunter would do.
 MT. Romances seems to think that the
 only tool-using vertebrates are apes and
 elephants, but such a restriction is hardly
 justified by facts. The following incident.
 which is vouched for by MT. William B. Smith, on whose farm at Mount Lookout 1t occurred, proves that an ass may under stand the worth of weapons, and be able to avail himself of them. A donkey, which was in the same pasture with an Alderney bull was frequently attacked by the latter, and worsted in the combat. Convinced that his heels were no match for his sdver- ssry's horns, the ass took 6 pole between his teeth, and, whirling it about, whacked his assailant so vigorously over the head that the latter was finally glad to give up the contest, and live thenceforth on a peaceful footing with his long-eared and long headed companion.
 Cats and dogs open doors by pressing the latch-key, or cause them to be opened by pulling the bell cord or lifting the knocker; and every farmer knows, to his frequent veIation, how readily COWS fam iliarize themselves with the mechanism of gates.
 Crows, cormorants, gulls and other birds carry shellfsh into the air and drop them on rocks, in order to break their hard GOV ering and to eat the flesh. If the first fall is not sufficient, they carry it uu still high CT. and thus virtually hit it harder blow. If boy cracks a nut by hurling it against stone, he makes use of the stone as tool as truly as if he should take a stone in his hand and strike the nut with it. The for mer process is that employed by the birds, which are in this respect tool-using ami mals- There are rocks on the sea coast which have served generations of birds as stationary hammers for smashing mollusks, and are evidently regarded by them as a permanent slaughter house.
 It is well known that monkeys living near the seashore where the ebb tide leaves the rocks covered with oysters, evince ex- traordinary expertness in opening these bivalves with sharp stones, just as & man would do under like circumstance. It would require only very slight increase Of intelligence for a monkey to learn to break stone into proper shade, instead of ot selecting a suitable one from the shingle of the beach, and, by thus fabricsting a tool, bring himself abreast, intellectually, with the fiint-chipping man of the early stone age. Indeed, it has been suggested by some scientist that man had not yet ap- peared upon the earth in the miocene age. and that the chipped flint of that period are the work of semi-human pithecoid apes of superior intelligence; and there is noth- ing in the theory of evolution or the facts of natural history that would render such a supposition absurd. Monkeys use stones as hammers and sticks as levers.
