WASHINGTON LETTER.
Washington, April 81, 1894.

Washington, April y, 1894.
At last there is harmony among the
Democratic senators on the tariff and
the party presents a united front to the
enemy. Concessions have been made
which will not be satisfactory to lots of
Democrats, but it was only by conces-
sions that harmony could be secured.
There is one consolation for the party.
The tariff bill as it will be amended will
be a decided improvement upon the Nc
kinley law, and it will receive the vote
of every Democratic senator. Having
secured harmony, the Democratic sena-
tors are now forcing the fighting and will
continue to do so until the bill is passed
Everything is to be made to give way to
one obiect-the passing of the bill; and
there is every reason to believe that it
will be passed in ample time to become
law on the first day of July. If the
Republicans persist in the fllibustering
tactics they have this week adopted, the
Democrats propose to resort to heroic
remedies to stop it, regardless of rules
and precedents.
The great speech made by Senator
Mills, of Texas (many think the greatest
of his life) in closing the general debate
on the tariff bill, will probably be the
last long tariff speech made on the
Democratic side of the senate. The
present programme is to compel longer
daily sittings of the senate and to let the
Republicans do the most of the talking
until they have been allowed a reason
able time to debate the bill by items
Then there may be a continuous day
and night session lasting until the final
vote is reached, unless the Republicans
will agreed upon an early date for taking
a vote, and at present there is no indica-
ton of their doing that.
The local authorities have made all of
their arrangements to receive Coxey's
army which will arrive in Washington
early next week. No trouble is antici-
pated, but if any comes they are fully
prepared for it. If the men who come
here with Coxey behave themselves
and violate no law they will be allowed
to remain as long as they please, or
rather as long as they can get enough to
eat, and you may be sure that will not
be long. If they violate the law thev
will be treated just as other criminals.
By the way, the Populists in congress
are, as the saying is, "between the devil
and the deep sea" as to Coxey's army.
When the army first started they to
man denounced the movement. After
wards some of them tried to hedge,
Senators PETER and Allen introducing
resolutions in the senate, and Represen-
tatiye Davis and Boen bills in the house,
in the interest of the army. This week
they held caucus on the subject. 1t
isn't the army they are worrying about,
but the votes of their constituents who
sympathize with the idea that brings the
army here. 1t isn't likely to be much
OF an army after all, as from the best in
formation at present obtainabe, even if
all the various bodies of men now head
ed towards Washington should get here,
which is not probable, there would only
be 6,500 Of them. S.

HONEY bees proved more than a
match for two hundred men at pub
lie sale the other day. When the auc-
tioneer who was selling the effects of
deceased farmer near Neshaminy
Falls, Pa, put twenty-five hives of
bees under the hammer, an inquisitive,
but imprudent, youth kicked one of
the little homes occupied by about
three thousand honey-mal1ers. There
was instantly a warning buzz, and out
filed the bees in companies, regiments
and brigades. The two hundred men
scattered in as many directions, pur-
sued by the angry bees, One farmer
tried to pacify the army of little brown
foes, but few stings sent him flying
after his retreating friends. For an
hour the bees held the situation unop-
posed. They then gathered in their hive
and the sale proceeded.

Though there is not much to

L understand that the candi-
dates on the Democratic side

the district. The friends of
Mr.. McNelis, of Drifton, claim
that the strength he will de-

OF his opponents, it is said
that Anthony Reilly, of Halle

sented for the consideration of
the convention by the Dem
ocracy of Hazleton and the
South Side part of the district.
There are others mentioned as
being anxious to try to reclaim
the district from the Republi-
cans, but everything indicates
that the struggle will narrow
down to the two gentlemen
named. OF course. it is quite
awhile yet until delegates are
elected, and there is no telling
who may announce themselves
in the meantime. 1t is free

bee is buzzing in the hat of
more than one Democrat in
lower Luzerne.

SAMUEL SwANEY, of Washington
township, Indiana, has an unusual
claim to notoriety. A correspondent
says Swaney was in Muncie the other
day and exhibited his third set Of
natural teeth. They number thirteen
and have been growing for the past
three years He is eighty-eight years
of age, but is hale old fellow, and
says that this growth did not bother
him nearly so much as the first ones,
many years ago. The teeth have only
appeared in the front part of his gums,
but they are more perfect than any he
has ever had.

SOME one of those many persons who
are always fooling with the English
languag e, trying to make it what it is
not, started the silly idea that in the
term "Welsh rabbit" the word "rab-
bit" was corruption of rare bit,"
and finally some lexicographers fell
into the error, One Of these, says a
punctilious writer, was Noah Webster,
who was by no means infallible, and
he gave the term "Welsh rarebit" cur
rency to this country. Consequently it
is found so spelled on the bills of fare
in most restaurants. The incorrect
ness of this spelling has been pointed
out so often in newspapers that it is
about time the keepers of restaurants
learned the fact and printed the word
on their bills as it should be.

ONE cannot help wondering what is
going to become of the poor horse.
People used to pity him when he pulled
street cars, but now that cable or an
electric wire propels them one impor-
tant occupation is gone. And If the
people who ride and drive are going to
give up what has hitherto been con-
sidered the most useful of animals
there won't be much left for Mr.
Horse. Still it is doubtful if he will
kick. 1t seems strange to think that,
in the mechanical age ahead, the horse,
like the buffalo now, may become prac-
tically an extinct animal

Rapidly and surely silver is getting

The quotation Of the metal makes runs
down the gamut and, then recuperat-

to reach its former high mark and this
continual falling off is leaving the mar

a matter of fact, the mines Of this

tons, cannot produce the white metal
