placed this country IN regarding the

the Congress OF the United States can
have so completely lost fits head as it has
done.
An interesting letter in the New York
Journal Of Commerce from its Washing
ton correspondent treats the cause OF the
dcmention of congressman. The writer
says:
"The recent outbreak Of the President
on the subject OF the controversy with
Great Britain, and the support which IL
has received in Congress, can only be
understood outside the limits Of Wash
ington by a knowledge OF the sort of
sentiment which goes TO make public

as is found in the great business com
munities Of the Northeast, or even on
the farms of the West and South. there
is none in Washington. Such opinion as
there is takes It's color from political
feeling"
Most members OF Congress read the
Washington Post. which is the most ex-
IRENE OF all the jingoes. and they receive
tho direction for their thoughts from it,
but especially from ''ofiicialdom." which
is as despotic in Washington city as the
Mohammedan creed is amongst its vota-
ries. The correspondent proceeds:
