WASHINGTON LETTER.

WASHINGTON, April 18th, 1894
Ex-Speaker Reed takes his new honor
easily, as he does everything that comes
to him. He has never had doubt that
the counting of quorum would event.
ually become one of the fixed rules of
the House, no matter which party is in
power. If he felt any surprise at all at
the action Of the Democratic caucus in
directing the committee on Rules to
prepare rule providing for the count
ing of members present and not voting,
in order to make quorum, it was not
because the caucus had come around to
his ideas but becaus as many as fortv
Democrats should have voted against
the proposition. While the Republican
members of the House are thorough
believers in the principle Of counting
quorum it is not yet certain that they
will support the Rule reported by the
committee on Rules, or that they will
vote at all to help the Democrats get
quorum to adopt it. The principal
reason for this uncertainty is that the
caucus resolution also directed the
committee to report rule to compel
the attendance OF absent members. 1t
will depend upon how the Democra
intend to accomplish the proposed re-
forms what position the Republicans
will take.
Another Democratic Senator has
placed himself in the doubtful column.
Senator Smith, of New Jersey, in his
speech on the tariff bill, which Senator
Quay correctly called a .'measure of
mingled malice, compromise and sec-
tionalism," renewed the cold shiyers
which Senator Hill sent up and down
the spines of the free traders last week,
1t has been agreed that the debate on
the bill as whole shall end next Mon
day. Then the contest over the indi-
vidual schedules will begin and the
will be forced by the repubh-
cans from the first to the last. The
Democratic managers of the bill are in
doubt as to the status of at least six
Democratic Senators, not to ment ON

he calls VOORHEES, a demagogue. He

One Democratic Congressman has
provided himself with shelter from the
great political cyclone of next Novem-
Der. and many more of them would like
to do the same. The man referred to
is Barnes Compton, who got into the
House in '92. by the skin of his teeth,
as the saying goes, from the Fifth
Maryland District, and who was several
days ago nominated by Mr.. Cleveland
to be Collector of the port of Baltimore.
He knew he couldn't be re elected so he
utilized his ''pull" to grab nice fat
Federal office which he could keep un.
til after the Inauguration of a Republi.
can President in 1897.

No Washington jury ever rendered a
more popular verdict than that which
gave Miss Pollard $4,000 as damages
in the breach of promise of marriage
suit she brought against Representative
Breckinridge of Ky. 1t was taken all
in all perhaps the flthiest case ever
tried in the Washington coorts, and it
was made worse by the blackguard tao
tics adopted by some of the Kentucky
lawyers Breekinfidge brought here to
defend him. 1t is not because cf any
special sympathy the people feel for
Miss Pollard that they like the verdict,
but because they believe it will result
in retiring such hypocrite as Breckin-
ridge has shown himself to be from the
seat in Congress he has disgraced by
the double life he led in their midst. If
it does not, then the voters in his dis
trict must be queer breed Of men.
There was never a doubt of what the
verdict would be after Breckinridge's
own testimony was heard, and it was
not surprising that the jury did not
take an hour to decide, although it had
taken more than five weeks to hear the
case.

1t is charged here that Mr.. Cleveland
was not only cognizant of the corrupt

to fix the sugar schedule of the tariff
bill just as it wants it, in return for help
ing the free-traders to push the bill
through the Senate, but that he sugges-
ted the making of the bargain.

Little story which ShowI How De-

A good story showing now appear
ances are sometimes deceitful comes
from Russia. At certain famous
restaurant in st. Petersburg six some-
what dandyish officers of the Imperial
Horse guards sat drinking champagne.
Not far from them satan insignificant
little man with shabby and an un-
kempt beard, and glass of liquor in
front of him.
1t was not long before he became
aware that he was being ridiculed by
tho officers. BY the by, as they be.
came more and more offensive in their
remarks on his personal appearance,
etc, he called for the waiter and said:
Bring six bottles of your best
champagne"
The waiter hesitated.
"Did you not hear what said?"
asked the little man. The waiter
again hesitated, bat obeyed instantly
at the percmptory repetition of the
order "A piece of soap!" was the
next order. 1t was brought. "a
towel" The waiter handed him one.
"Now, open the bottlesw The waiter
did so.
The little man now filed the basin
with the contents of the six bottles,
rolled up his sleeves, washed himself
in the costly fluid, wiped his hands,
laid 100 rouble note on the table,
and, casting look of whitening con-
tempt on the officers, strutted out OF

AHAnY INTERXIEM

The Capital is trying mighty hard
TO make the machine workers and
ignorant Republican voters believe
that Speed is in League with them and
conutenances their thieving work
About the silliest thing we have read
for many wee ks is an interview with
Speed, appearing in last evenings S
Capital BY series of logotyped
questions, which are answered In n
general way by Mr. Speed, Greer en-
deavors to convey the impression that
Speed has left his good government
stand, swallowed his own resolutions
with crow eoncomitants and will
work valiently for the ticket nomi-
mated and which he justly tried so
hard to defeat on account of the
known deficiencies of certain men on
the ticket As for Rev. Jamison,
nobody accused Mr.. Speed OF "being
in with Jamison," but he heartily ap-
proves Of the reverend gentlemen's
course so far as his remarks pertain to
honest officials and good government
in this county. BY that interview,
Greer not only 'corked" himself, but
exposed the weak points of the Re-
publican machine workers.
Here is the way Mr. Speed answered
Greer's questions;
! went into that convention for no
particular candidate; l had but one
object aiticket Of the best possible men
and some sort OF specific declaration
for economy and honesty in public
business ! thought my resolutions
shonld be passed and yet think that
had they been properly understood
they would have passed; but the ma
jority thought the declarations for re.
form contained in the platform sub
mitted by the committee were equally
strong.

NoMINATE HONEST MEN.

The cry of the taxpayer is "honest
men for county Offices" The taxpayer
cares not so much whether the official
be Democrat, Republican or Populisi;
what he wants is the honestman. The
taxpayer is right Logan county has
been plunged hopelessly in debt by
corrupt officials, who stole the fees of
their respective Offices in violation OF
the statutes.
The coming campaign will not only
be one of education, but of justice,
right and honesty. The average citi-
zen has grown weary of the continual
drain on his purse and asks Tor relief
In u e light of these facts it behooves
Democracy to put forth its very best
men-men who cannot be governed by
machines and who will conduct their
respective offices in accordance with
the laws of Oklahoma.

hammered Passenger Demanded =
seat Before Giving His Ticket.
A west bound train had just pulled
out of the Union station at Albany,
says the Express, and the conductor
was harvesting tickets. All the seats
were taken and several passengers
were obliged to stand up Among the
latter was n difiident-looking, mild
hammered man. who, much to the con-
ductors surprise refused TO give up a
ticket
"When get seat you get a ticket" "
he remarked mildly bat firmly; you
are probably aware that the company
cannot collect fares from passengers
whom it does not provide with seats "
"Oh, come now, that don't go;
want your ticket, see?" Thus spoke
the conductor, in a tone that indicated
that he believed he would intimidate
the mild hammered man.
"No seat, no ticket" laconically
observed the later.
"We'll see about that" growled the
conductor, who was becoming quite
warm in the region Of the collar.
II would if were you,' remark ed
the passenger, still mildly, smiling
pleasantly
Then the conductor hustled around
and found a brother conductor who
was going up the road away, whom he
induced to give up his seat TO the
mildly firm passenger
There's seat for you; now give
me that ticket said the conductor il
a ferocious tone.
Certainly, here it is.
And the mild but firm passenger
handed out pass good TO Chicago.
