Washington Letter

FROM OUR REG COMMENCEMENT
WASHINGTON. D. c., Dec. 9Th, 1892.
Congress is again in session, and the
eyes Of the country turn naturally to
ward Washington to see the effect OF
the assent bling Of the men that have
been selected to make the national laws.
The opening in neither House nor Sen
ate differed materially from the usual
opening of second session the inter
ior of both House and Senate chambers
are as bright and inviting to look at as
paint, :varnish and new carpets can
make them-much brighter in fact than
the looks of some of the Senators and
members who are to end their official
life with the presnt Congress. Vice.
President Morton and Speaker Crisp
were in their respective chairs at high
noon to day and there was no delay in
declaring the Senate and the House
open tor business.
An attempt is likely to be made to
change the date for the meeting OF
Congress from December to early
spring, aud although it is championed
by republicans who are anxious to pre-
cipitate the fight they predict and ex-
pect in the democratic party when the
Fifty.Third Congress comes together,
by making certain that il shall come
together in the sprlng without the ne.
cessity of Presidential Proclamation
converting an extra session, it meets the
unqualified approval Of many demo.
Gratis, particularly among those who
regard an extra session of the next Con
gress as necessity, and majority of
the democrats in the present Congress
unquestionably do. Aside from any
question of politics, it would certainly
be an improvement to have the Congress
elected in November meet in the follow.
ing spring, instead Of waiting thirteen
months, as IL does now, except when
called in extra session.
President Harrison message to Con.
gress differs IN several respects from any
Of his previous messages. In the first
place 1t is not so we'll written, tact
fully accounted fos by the recent sad
happenings at the White House the
only wonder is that be could have writ

ton republican point of view, and reit.
crates Mr.. Harrison's belief in the prin.
ciples upon which his party has just
sustained national defeat, and intl.
mates his belief that those principles
will again triumph in the near future.
With the exception of that IN favor of
the establishment Of National quar-
antine the message contains no new
recommendation OF Importance.
When the House of Representatives
met o.day it found itself confronted
by a large calendar, the legacy Of the
Fifty second Congress. Upon the cal
endar on the state of the Union, which
is the repository Of all bills and prop
ositions making appropriations, there
are almost 200 measures awaiting &C.
ton. A large proportion Of these are
bills for the erection of public buildings

THE DIFFERENCE.

Cleveland Leader.
President Polk, of the Farmers All!-
ance, is complaining again about an old
grievance of the Western and Southern
demagogues. He finds that the rates
of interests quoted in Wall street are
much lower than those ruling in farming
districts, and he demands that the i'm
aginary abuse be righted at once. 1t is
useless to try reason upon such men,
but, lest some victim of his sophistrieS
be misled, it may be well to call atten-
tion again to the well-known fact that
the money 'oaned in Wall ST, at very low
rates of interests is on call. That is,
it may be demanded at any time, and
the security furnished is such as can be
Immediately cony ed into money, in
case the loan is not paid. Under like
conditions money could be had for
temporary use at comparatively low
rates almost anywhere, but farmers do
not want call loans, which would place
their farms in constant jeopardy.

Have you ever been in house where
there are a couple eourting? 1t is most
trying. You think you will go and sit
in the drawing room, and you march off
there. As you open the door you hear
noise as if somebody had suddenly re-
collected something and when you get in,
Emily is over by the window, full of in

YOUR friend, John Edward, is at the 9TH
ct end of the room with his whole soul
held in thrall by photographs of other

''Oh," yOu say, pausing at the door.
II didn't know anybody was here
"Oh! didn't you?" SAYS Emily, coldly,
in tone which implies that she did not
believe you.
You hang about for bit, then you
say: "It's very dark. Why don't you
light the gas?"
John Edward says he hand't noticed
it, and Emily says that papa does not

sation you edge up to the door and slip
out, and are surprised to find that the
door closes Immediately behind you and
shuts itself without your having touch

Half an hour later you think you will
try pipe in the conservatory. The only

you pass the summer house you glance

ONE HUNDRED MILES AN HOUR.

ON HUN MILES AN lOOh
From the Electrical World.
The standard schedule time of all
through cars on the proposed Chicago
and St.Louis electric railroad vii, be 100
miles per hour. The trip from st. Louis
to Chicago can, therefore, be made in
from two and half to three hours. 1t
will be unnecessary to travel at night;
therefore no through passenger cars will
be run after o'clock P NJ, the tracks
being reserved at night for high class
freight. express and mail.
The electric car is long, low, COM
pact, light, but strong Car, having two
pairs of driving wheels, each of which
are driven by a separate and distinct
electric motor. The whole weight of
the car, with its passengers and the two
electric m otors, comes upon those two
pairs of driving wheels, and is, there
fore, all available for traction or adhe-
sion between the rails and the wheels,
through the agency of which the car is
propelled. The top of the car stands
only nine feet from the rail. which is
three feet lower than the ordinary street
car. This brings the center of gravity
very low and near to the track, which
decreases immensely the danger of
jumping the track. 1t has a wedge
shaped nose or front for cutting the air,
which has the effect of decreasing the
air resistance "a most important factor
in high speed locomotion) and of help
ing to keep the car down upon the
track. The motor man stands immedi-
ately back of this wedge-shaped front,
and between his department and the
rear wheels is the compartment for the
accommodation of passengers. In the
rear of this is a separate compartment
for mail and high class express.
The driving wheels are six feet in di-
ameter and are capable of making 500
revolutions in one minute.
The weight of the entire car with its
motors is but ten tons.

CAN'T KEEP 1T DOWN.

New York Press.
There is no possibility that the Dem
ocrats opposed to free silver can keep
that measure from coming to vote in
Congress, since more than majority OF
the Democratic men bers have signed a
petition to the Committee on Rules,
which is the autocratic power of the
House, to allow the Bland bill to have a
day set for its hearing. Under these
conditions the free coinage men can
block all proposed tariff measures until
they get a hearing and a vote, if they
see fit to force the.-silver question IN
front of the tariff question. They hold
the KEY of the Democratic situation,
because on the tariff question there are
almost as many differing opinions as
there are Democratic congressman,
whereas on the silver question the issue
is squarely drawn for or against free
silver coinage.

the neighbors says that during her brief
visit the other day the milk turned sour;
Her countenance looks a yard long; she
sighs perpetually; the cloud on her brow
is deep; if beaten out thin believe it
would cover the sky; her voice is doleful
and her eyes show no radiance; her
wrinkles are numberless; she is sorry
picture, and all because she is the victim
of one of those complaints common to
women; her system is deranged; she
needs course of treatment with

will eradicate thoroughly those excru-
ciating periodical pains and functional
weaknesses incident to her sex, and at
the same time build up and invigorate
the whole system by its health-imparting
influence. A trial bottle will convince.

When Christ Was Born.

Speculative and philosophical writers
have long since established the fact that
we have no proof that Dec. 25 is the
date of the birth of the Messiah. At
one time the beginning of the Christian
era was supposed to conform with the
great event above mentioned, but it has
been pretty clearly established that
Christ was not born on the day we cele-
brate as Christmas or at any other time
during winter month.
The date now unanimously agreed
upon by scholars is April 5, not April 3
of the year of one,' but April ), B. G.
This error in our mode of reckoning
time is supposed to have arisen from the
fact that the dating of time "a D. was
not introduced until about the year 521
of the Christian era.-St. Louis Re

GOLD GOING.

New York Tribune.
The beginning of exports of gold to
Europe is probably fortunate for this
country 1t is likely to have good
effect financially and also politically. 1t
will tend to repress rampant specula-
ton in wheat which began within the
past week, and has seemed likely to
check the marketing of that product in
foreign countries. 1t will also tend to
fix the attention of practical business
men, of all sorts and all shades of polit-
ical opinion, upon the necessity of keep
ing the control of the Government in
the hands of those who can be trusted
to maintain honest money.
The immediate cause Of the exports
is supposed to be the desire of the
Austrian Government to adopt gold
standard. The people of this country
are likely to ask why they should not
their cotton as good money as the people
of Austria have. or the people of
Germany or of Great Britain. Even
France, though circulating two kinds OF
money as this country does, is careful
to maintain gold as the only standard,
and to permit no circulation of silver
which would operate to drive gold out
of the country or to disturb the main
tenance of gold values. The United
States has greater wealth and greater
resources than either of these nations.
1t has power to lay them all under con-
tribution for its advantage, because they
depend upon this country for necessaries
of life. Yet there are people who insist
that the money which is deemed best by
the whole civilized world, the money in
which the accounts of the whole civilized
world are kept and settled, is too good
and too dear for the people of this
Nation.

SILVER AND PIG IRON.

Pittsburgh Chronicle Telegraph.
Mr. f. J. McDermott, of Louisville,
was guest at the banquet of the New
Y ork Board of Trade and transportation
last week, and he made a speech, in
which he expressed his preference for
Cleveland over Hill in forcible manner,
and also gave his opinion of the free
coinage project
There was much point, too, in his
remarks on the silver question. Being
Kentuckian, he naturally compared
the chief product of his State with the
metal under consideration. "If the Gov
ernment is compelled to buy silver from
Colorado" he said, then why should
she not buy bourbon from Kentucky?
Silver weighs one down, while bourbon
lifts one up"
People in different parts of the country
are entitled to take a similar view of
this question. Silver is Colorado's chief
product, and it is proposed that the
Government buy it. Kentucky produces
whisky; why not make National pur-
chases of the article? Why not buy
Dakota's wheat? Why not purchase the
cattle of Texas? Why not provide a
Government purchasing agency for
Pennsylvania's pig iron?
Indeed, there is really more reason for
National purchases of iron than of any
other product of the United States. In
case of war, iron is the first thing needed,
and there is a constant demand for the
metal, and a constantly increasing de-
mand, as long as hostilities last.
If the Government is to make pur-
chases of silver in quantities far above
its requirements, by all means lei it buy
pig iron as well.

PUBLIC OPINION.
poINGs OF AN ELEPHANT.

DOlNGS Of An I-LE-A Al ifA-NA-
Cleveland World.
The national Democracy is beginning
TO realize that it has an elephant upon
its hands in the $50 majority which it
has in the lower house of Congress and
that said elephant is very hard to
manage. No one can tell what damage
it may do with its trunk, which is kept
constantly swishing about, and it has
already stepped on several things and
fattened them out as thin as Holman's
proposed cheese pairing. On the silver
question, which now bids fair to take
I'D great deal of attention and amount
to nothing but wind in the end, the
Democratic majority is divided into
three factions. First, those who really
want free silver; second, those who
want it but not now; who want to
side track the whole question for this
session: and third, the gold bugs, SO
called, or those who are opposed to fee
silver utterly and for all the time.
The Democrats, as Democrats, can
uOI 1Ildht d punt Oh tuO oi1hOA 1UNSNA''
one way or the other, and so they pro-
pose apparently to keep on scoldlng at
each other indefinitely. The position of
various members on this subject is
largely determined by the section from
which they come and the determination
to so act, if possible, as to be returned
to Congress. What may be said of the
silver question can, with equal justice,
be said of all the other issues that may
be Joined in this Congress. tbs already
apparent that it is going to be the most
barren of results of any body that has
assembled in the south wing of the
Capitol for many of a day. The piece
meal efforts to amend the Mckinley bill
reminds one of the efforts of a child to
carry away the sea shore in tin pail.
The scheme of pinching the necessary
appropriations down few dollars here
and a little more there for the sake of
making showing of economy and
deficiency for the next Congress with
broader views to look after, Is not
worthy of any party that seeks to man
aye national affairs. The result of it
all will be that at the close of the term
the elephant will be turned out to grass.
