WASHINGTON LETTER.
(oUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT.

(oUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT. }
Washington, ID. c., Dec. 10, '94 -
The most striking thing of the
first week of Congress has been
the apparently concerted effort of
the democrats and mugwumps to
stir up jealousy and bad feeling
between the friends of those re-
publlcanS who are prominently
mentioned as Presidential posi-
bilities, by distorting their replies
to questions and in some cases by
actually putting words into their
mouths which they have never
thought of using. Representative
Boutelle, of Maine, rightly calls
this IAN old trick OF the democra-
cyto invent phrase or catch-word
which they seek to make odious
by iteration, and then to use ii
as bugaboo with which to scare
timid and feather Drained republi-
cans The trick consists in ask
ing some unsuspicious republican
whether the party will re enact the
Mckinley tariff law. when it re-
turns to power If he answers in
substance, that changed conditions
may make some changes neceSsary.
as most sensible mea are apt la
do, he will fad his remarks dis
torted and pIblished under Il
scare head, 'MckinieyiSm is dead.
or something with a similar mean-
ing. The object is Sd plain that
republicans in Congress smile at
the attempts. but this men
tion is made to put republicans
in your vicinity on their guard |
against accepting as true any in
terview purporting to have been
held with any republican Senator
or Representative, in which pro |
lection is slightingly spoken Of. |
There have been sach interviews
If there is republican in either
the Senate or the House who is
not protectionist he is not known
TO the leaders of the party.

The Republicans of Missouri

sheriff Rupe spent Sl51 in
the capture of BranStetter, 500,
reward and S51 for other ex-
penses. The county court refused
to allow the account. Such work
by the county court has tenden-
cy to make an official careless
about the capture of criminals.
A man of considerable wealth
was recently indicted by an Hi
noiS grand jury for turning a burro
out to shift for itself when the cold
weather came on. What ought to
be done with the Republican party
for turning so many donkeys out
November 6, to shift for them
selves, through all the succeeding
winters.
The President threatens to
call the Fifty-fourth Congress in
extra session after the 4th of
March, and let the Republicans
legislate for the country if the
present Congress does not pass
laws to carry out the recommen-
dations of his message. A special
session of the Fifty-fourth Congress
called March 18th. at = o'clock p
H.. would be the most fortunate
thing that could happen to the
country.
"A few days ago a student Of
Harvard college committed suicide.
He was only one OF the 5000 stu
dents at that institution, and as
he did not belong to either base
ball, foot ball. or rowing club he
was unknown to the students and
faculty. An investigation, how
ever, to establish his identity,
showed that his scholarship was
the highest in the institution. Had
he been a prominent enthusiast in
foot ball or rowing there is no
doubt that each member of the
faculty and the remaining 2999
students of Harvard would have
been on familiar terms of acquaint-
ance with him.

BRAND THE CLAIM AS FALSE.
Worlds Fair Officials Expose a
Prctendcr to an A ward.

CHICAGO, H., One of the odd
results of the Worlds Fair is the
claim now made to awards by
some who were not even exhibit
ors. Official of the Exposition
have not as yet taken final action
IN the matter, believing the quick
wit OF the people will detect the
spurious claims. But to the case
OF a New York baking powder,
that has been widely advertising
an award, the attention of the
Chief of Awards, for agriculture,
has been directed. He brands the
claim of this pretendel as false,
declaring "neither the records of
this department, nor the official
catalogue of the Worlds Colum-
bian Exposition, show that this
New York Company was an ex
hibitor; consequently it could not
receive an award at the Worlds
Fair
Those who fairly won their hon
ors at the Fair seem disposed to
treat this fraud as any other fraud
should be treated. The Price Bak-
ing Powder Company, of Chicago,
having received the highest award,
say they are convinced their claims
and those of all other holders of
rightful honors, will be fully vim
dicated by the public.

have no further use for or are getting

send them as gift or sell them at a
nominal price to the society he repre-
sents for use b. the missionaries and

says, arc OF '.immense service

labor and doubling their eff

distances in the course of their work.

At last he shouted, wake up here!

wake d them tremendously. The next
day delegation of ladies visited the
parsonage, and presented the preacher
with package containing some very
nice shirts, saying that it was shame
that he should be reduced to half a
shirt to his back. He replied, after
accepting the shirts with thanks, 'that
he was not literally reduced to half
shirt, although he wore only o half on
his back; he wore the other half in
front of him.
