WASHINGTON LETTER.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 9 1S9;

WASHINGTON, Oct. 9 1898,
From Our Regular Correspondent
"Let them do as L wish them to
do, or go home, is the remarkable
language MIR. Cleveland is report
ed to have used in speaking OF the
Senate. The test of physical en-
durance which is to begin in the
Senate on Wednesday of this
week is intended to force vote Oh
the repeal bill. At least that is
the impression that Senator Vor-
hees wishes the public to get of it
But its real purpose is to demon
strate to Mr.. Cleveland the impos-
slbility Of forcing vote and to
get him to listen to the advice of
his cabinet and many of the
shrewdest Senators and Represen-
tatives in his party and consent to
the adoption of a compromise
amendment that will secure the
votes of three fourths of the Sens-
tors. In holding a continuous
session the unconditional repeal
Senators play their last trump
card; they will have to keep forty
one Senators continuously on the
floor. as the opponents of uncon-
ditional repeal have given notice
that they will only keep two Sen
ators on the floor at time-one
o speak and one to watch the
tothers thus allowing the rest OF
their force to rest. The session
which will begin Wednesday at
eleven q. m. may possibly be kept
up for as long a period as forty
eight hours, but it will surprise
no one here if it fizzles out before
daylight on Thursday morning,
for lack of quorum. The twenty
five Republican Senators who are
counted for unconditional repeal
have adopted no programme, but
it is believed that few of them
will feel it incumbent upon
themselves to endanger their
health by remaining in their seats
all night, particularly when they
know that nothing can thereby be
accomplished.
Opinion differs as to what will
be done after it has been shown
that vote cannot be forced by
continuous session of the Senate.
If Mr.. Cleveland idea be follow
ed Congress will at once adjourn,
not take a recess, he having stat
ed his belief that it would be bet
ter for Congress to adjourn until
the beginning of the regular ses-
sion in December than to take q
short recess. But the general i'm
preston is that compromise
amendment will be adopted before
next Saturday night, thus giving
Mr.. Cleveland an opportunity to
carry out his implied threat to
veto anything other than uncon-
ditional repeal that might be sent
to him.
Senator Peffer's latest bill is
the king pin of all that have gone
before in the long line of absurd
propositions, and it is only fair to
MIR. PETER to say that he does not
father this monstrosity, but in
troduced it 'by request The bill
starts bv directing the coinage of
all the gold and silver now in the
Tressuary and the coinage of all

The first lodge of the Ancient
Order of United Workmen was
instituted ON the night of October
2. tn. 1868, by Johr Jordan Up
church and thirteen 9th ers.
At the close of the year 1892, ii
embraced 4,6lS lodges and 30S, SIS
members. Up to that iate it had
paid benefits to widows and or
phans to tie amount of S44, 80
94S,S9, and had distributed relief
to the extent of 81, l29, 1864 be
sides incident i relief that it is
not necessary to speak of.
Such a record entities it to pub
lie confidence, aud should inspire
every member with zeal and de-
votion.
On the first of August 1898, il
embraced 343 147 members, which
implies liability on beneficiary
accounts of S646, 294,OO But
three life insurance companies il
the world exceed this amount il
corresponding liability, which
fact places US IN the front rank OF
associations OF all kinds which
pay death indemnity, and indi-
Gates the magnitude -four respon-
sibility to those who are to be-
come widows and orphans.
The history of our order in
Missouri is full of encouragement.
Since its introduction in this
state its membership has grown to
25,272, and it has distributed
benefits to widows and orphans to
the amount of 81 273 ,993, and is
now paving benefits at the rate of
s642, ,158 per annum. No institu
ton in Missouri is doing so much
to relieve the helpless as the A. O
Z. ".

The slowest thing on earth ex-
cept the Lancaster cost office, is
long drawn yawn from the jaws
cf q Louisiana cotton picker at
high noon on a mid-autumn day.
There IS about the same difference
between that Office and the Kinks
Vile post-ofiice that there is be-
tween the deliberations of the
United States Senate and a streak
of fabricated lightning.
Bntler's Bakery, next door south
of the GRAPHIC Office is where the
sweet tooth OF the October girl
can be plugged with the finest
and freshest confectionery IN the
city; that is, if her most frequent
young man is a first class caterer
and desires to retain her as his
wiuter girl. Fine oyster stews
are also on tap at this cosy resort.
Greentop is located just over
the county line in the garden spot
OF Schuyler county, and as Green
top has never had any county
seat aspirations, it has ever pros
pered and is one of the best trad
ing points In that grand county.
Moral:-attend strictly to busi-
ness and let the county seat go to
thunder.
The beautiful new residences
that adorn the suburban portion
of Kirksville are pointers to the
fact that the city passed through
the late panic without a scratch,
and that its citizens didn't hoard
their money during the life of
the corpse. They also so to prove
that the local banking houses kept
a grub stake" on hand during the
financial malady.
In SO far as protruding nails
from the sidewalks, and other
besstly obstructions connected
Herewith are concerned, and
which in many neighboring towns
are daily creating yawning chasms
in the seat of neither garments
worn by their citizens. it Is re-
freshing to note that there is a
sweet sense of security lurking in
the system of fine brick walks
that are everywhere seen in
Kirksville.
~
The local war between the
Beckwith Round Oak and the
Riverside Oak heating stcyes has
assumed proportions second only
to the stuggle in Brazil, and but
for the fact that If Is war be-
tween two enterprising American
business houses with the best
stoves in the market for sale, one
would think that McNeal and Por-
ter had egain struck the town.
That's right gentlemen; toot your
horns, and may the best stove
win.
Saunterings will appear in the
columns of the WEEKLY GRAPHIC
during the writer's sojourn in
Kjrksville, and in his weak way
will reflect passing local events as
he sees them while saunterine
through your beautiful city. They
have nothing whatever to do with
the big trade Edition soon to be
issued by the GRAPHIC, and which |
will be the most complete work
of the kind ever written in the IN. |
tarest of kirksyille and Adair
county.
