WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our Regular Correspondent.

- AoAn ouA AsVt5 ului VOIlcnpUHutut, u,
There is nothing like pre-
senting a united front to the
enemy for convincing them
that business is meant. The
Senate just now presents a
striking confirmation of this
assertion. Just as soon as
every Democratic Senator in
town signed an agreement
to remain in their seats each
day until Senator Harris
should move to adjourn the
Republicans saw that the
fillibus.eriDg Jig was up, un-
less they were prepared to re-
main in their seats for an in
definite period to keep it mp
and there was little probabi,-
ity Of success even then, as
the silver Republicans public
lily gave notice of their inten-
tion to- aid the Democrats in
keeping a quorum and in get
ting a vote on the bill and
lhere are other Republican
Senators who privately eX-
pressed the same sentiments.
The fillibustering died hard,
but when Senator Harris S
motion for the Senate TO
meet, beginning to-day, at
10 O'Clock was made no neg.
at;ve votes were cast.
This does not, of course,
mean that Republican oppo-
sition to the bill has been
withdrawn, but that it has
been forced by the united
front of the Democrats down
to a legitimate basis and
that extended debate is m
longer expended upon minor
items in the bill. The Demo.
Gratis have no desire to stiAe
debate on the really import.
ant sections Of the Till and

and they expect that a rea-
sonable amount OF time will

schedule, the income tax and
other really important por-
tions ofthe bill are reached,
tut they do not intned shat
lebate merely for delay shall
play any further part in the
consideration Of the bill, and
in that determination they
have every reason to believe
that they are supported by
nine tenths OF the people Of
the country, regardless OF
poIitice, who want this ques-
tion settled at the earliest
possible moment, in the in
Hterest OF a resumption OF
business.
The fairness of Vice presi-
dent Stevenson in selecting
the committee which today

authorized by the resolution
adopted without a dissent

week, WAS in marked con-
trast with the action OF Re-
publican presiding officers OF
the Senate in selecting siml-

Although he would have been
iustitiable in putting three
Democrats and two Republi-
cans on the committee, he
only selected two Democrats

of the fact came about in
this way: They had a pub
lie schoOl.-One of tho four
months kind-up his way,
and as a former teacher OF
free schools, he sorter kept
an eye to it. But he couldn't
keep the pace Of present
methods, he couldn't cat:h
on to what they were driving
at. He could calculate frac-
tions, percentage and "par-
tial payments, and wasn't
as rusty on "quadratics'' as
some people might think; he
had read the "bridge chap
ter" in Caesar till he knew it
by heart; but all this was Of
no avail now. He thought
his old books were good
enough for hi5two children;
but they came back from
school with a whole list to be
boughr, and they told him
that the teacher said his old
blue hack was out OF date,
his Caesar didn't have notes,
and the arithmetic was too
hard. He let this pass,
thinking it was natural that
the way of learning had i'm
proved since his day. AS the
spring came on, he noticed
that the children were NOT
study ing, but he though the
newfashioned learning wasn't
SO hard perhaps, as that
which he had dug and dug
for. The whole thing came
to light the other day, how

the school, sent him an invi-

They never had commence
merits to speak Of in his day
except at the University, and
he thought he would see a.

been preparing for two SOL.

their Ma to cut up all the old
family clothes into ell sorts

wild for the time to come.
