may be to force an early ex-
ira session of Congress. 1t
is being waged by the silver
men against tho Sherman
bond amendmentto the Sun
dry Civil bill, which the silver
men are determined to defeat
by fillibustering or any other
means at their disposal. II
they succeed'an extra session
will have to be called.
Secretary Foster admitted
tothe House Ways and Means
committee, before which he
appeared Saturday, that his
recent estimates of Treasury
receipts for the coming fiscal
year were already proven to
have been too high, and that
his estimates OF expenditures
were at least $8,0O0,OOO too
low, and that he no v regards
a defcitfor the fiscal year be
ginning July !, 1894, as a
certainty, unless means are
devised to raise additional
money, either by taxation or
the issue of bonds. His esti4
mates are, Of course, based
upon the present tariff laws,
which it is needless to say will
be considerably changed be-
fore July 1, 1894, unless the
democratic administration
and Cungress undergo agreat
change OF mind on the subject,
which is not probable.
Mr.. Harrison is now willing
that bonds shall be issued to-
increase the gold balance in
the Treasury, provided that
Secretary Carlisle will aesume
the responsibility by request
ing Secretary Foster u issue
them. The bonds have been
engraved and can be issued
at a days notice, bat there
is no probability that Secre--
tary Carlisle will take any
such responsibility before he
becomes Secretary Of the
Treasury, and the making Of
such a suggestion by Mr..
Harrison was nothing more
nor less than pleading the
baby act.
Prominent among the bills
that will remain unacted up
on Mt the close OF the session
will be the Nicaragua Canal
bill.

by the tiny rivulets, spark

teeming with all kinds of wild

wolves, panthers and many
other kinds of small game,

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our Regular Correspondent.

From our Regular Correspondent.
President Cleveland, said
a democratic Senator who
was opposed to Mr.. Cleve.-
lands nomination, and who
is for that reason called by
those who know no better an
anti Cleveland man, "never
did a wiser thing than when
he smashed precedent, which
at times buds us sll too close
ly, and announced his ca binet
in advance OF his inaugural
ton. That must now he ev-
ident to even the most care
less observer of things politi-
cal, rs reflected in Congress.
Th.. opposition which invari.
ably follows the announce
ment of a new cabinet has
been given time to work itself
out, and the result will be
that the new administration
will start out with the party
which placed it in power in
an unusually harmonious con
dition, and although there
will be quite q number Of indi
vidual disappoint,nents as
the distribution ofpatronage
proceeds, | sec nothing ahead
that leads me to believe that
this harmony will be serious
ly disturbed during Mr.. Clevs
lands administration" This
Senator declines to allow the
use of his name. beca Use he
has no desire to be accused
Of giving President Cleveland
'taffy," or OF having h i s
words construed into a bid for
public pap.
The ratification o. the An.
waiian annexation taaatty a Is.
now considered doubtful, so
doubtful that Mr.. Harrison's
friends in the Senate are n
fraid to have it voted upon,
lest it be rejected. The dem
ocrats, while not all opposed
to annexation, are almost
to a man opposed to ratify-
ing this treaty at this time.
Senator Morgan OF Alabama.
is the only democratic Sena-
tor who has made q speech
in favor of Immediate annex
alton, and his duties as one
Of the Behring Sea arbitra-
TORS havecalled him to Paris.
1t is the general belief that
no vote will be taken upon
the treaty at this session.
In that case President Cleve-
land may withdraw the trea-
| ty and direct that a new one
be negotiated, il he iavors an
nexation, or he may send a
message to the Senate recon
meuding the ratification OF
the present treaty, if it meets
his approval. Ii Mr.. Cleve-
land wishes it the treaty will
be acted upon by the Senate
when it meets in extra ses-
sion to act upon his nomina-
tions etc.

rary with him were the old
landmark settlers, to wit: the
Eggers', Smiths, Councill's,
Horizons. Dugger's, Mast's
Hikes and Others. They saw
ed their plank with a whip
saw and made their nails in
the blacksmith shop. The
farm products were such as
corn, rye, buckwheat, Irish
potatoes, cabbage, onions,
pumpkins and 30 on. The
farm tools were the hoe, mat
took, axe, bull-tongue plow
an d wooden mOuld-board
plowshars. Even when I was
a boy, a common diet was
milk and mush for breakfast,
soup and cider for dinner and
supper. All wore the home
spun, loom-woven clothing,
and we often saw boys from
six to eight years old in long
toe shirts. In those days 80
ciety manners and customs
in neighborhoods we're sim
pie and nnselfish; 80 much so
that a great portion of work
wasdone by workings; such as
house and barn raisings, log
rollings, corn shuckings, reap
ings, etc. At those workings
all would come to breakfast
and at night. have An old
fashioned social hoedown frol

from one to six miles long;
that is they wonld 60 six or
eight miles to help eachother.
The public welfare, Hebrew
like, was a common heritage
which all quite willingly help

Bnt as the cycle Of years roll
on changes take place. Man
ners and customs change, our
moral lad social relations
change, fashions change, com
merce, trade and agrise,Nure
change, and great changes
have taken place since l was
a boy. We place in contrast
the hardy yeomanry Of fifty
or sixty years ago with the
present citizenship OF this So
called progressive age. See
the hunter aAsabove describ-
ed, coming in with his rich
trophies OF wild game; see
the merry farmer in his,home

approach the dense forest to
slay the monarch OF the hills
and valleys, or with OK, mule
or horse to a bull-tongue or
bar-ehear pillow, humming or
whistling acme fe vorite love
song. cheerful, happy and con
tented. As Shakespeare play
says: "All's well that ends
we'll" Manners, CUSTOMS, ap
parel, fashions and diet were
crude and simple but all seem
cd satisfied. No grumbling
of hard times and high tax.
