WASHINGTON IN 1861.

It was then as unattractive, strag.
Cling. sodden a town, wandering up and
down the left bank of the yellow Potomac
as the fancy can sketch. Pennsylvania
avenue, twelve rods wide, stretched
drearily over the mile beteewn the I'M
finished capital and the unfinished treas
ury building on Fifteenth street, west,
where it turned north for q square, across
the really once very beautiful Rock
creek Ill-paved with cobblestones, it
was the only street of the town. The
other streets. which were long stretches
of mud or deserts of dust and sand, with
here and thre clumps of poorly-bult resi-
dences with long gaps between them,
passing little deserts of open lands,
where their lines were lost, wandered
from the highlands north toward the
Potomac. and from the eastern branch
(Anacosta) to Rock Creek. Not q sewer
blessed the town, nor off of Pennsylvania
avenue was there a paved gutter Each
across the sidewalk. AS may be supposed
the capitol Of republic had more mall
odors than the poet Coleridge ascribed to
ancient Cologne. There was then the
open canal or branch Of the Chesapeake
and Ohio, from Rock Creek to Anacosta,
breeding malaria, tadpoles and mos
quitoes. The Tiber of today, ancient
Goose Creek" stagnated from the high
lands, through the Botanic Gardens, and
Slush Run overfiowed the northwest
wastes of the swampy city plat.

BY RIGHT DIVINE.

Written for the Nonconformist:
When rogues wiuld fill he human mind
With some transparent lie,
They always elaine it countersignd
And sanctioned from on high.
A case will make this statement plain;
The divine right" of kings to reign.
This lie was shot to death in part
A hundred years ago;
But now the tricksters seek to start
An equal falsehOod, SO
You hear it claimed by every fool:
The divine right" of gold to rule.
Ere long, when they grow bold enough
To make their purpose clear
And throw the mask of pretext off
We may expect to hear
The money knaveS make this appeal:
The divine right of thieves to steal.
1t seems to hear another cry,
That comes from all around;
Beginning low, it riseth high,
A deep and growing sound,
That claims in no uncertain tone:
The human right to have our own.
That cry is filed with dire distress
And angry discomfort.
With tones of want and wretchedness.
Whit into these are blent
Stern under-voices that demand
The human right" to life and land.
From torrid zone and frigid SHOWS
'Tis heard in every place,
It ever louder. deeper grows
Until it thrills the race;
And thunders forth from sea to sea
The human right" to liberty.
No longer let us hear that fraud
Is sanctioned from on high;
No longer tell mankind that God
Will consecrate a lie;
But let this truth forever shine:
The human right is the divine.

MIGHT HIRING GERMANY TO TINE.
President Vow Has the Power within
His Ossn Hands.

WASHINGTON Dec. 6.-Senator Davis, a
leading member OF the committee on foreign
relations, has given considerable study 70
that portion OF the presidents message re-
la,ing to foreign affairs The Minnesota sen
ator does not agree with the president in
anything except az to Venezuela. and in this
particular he would have Il much stronger.
Mr.. Davis noticed particularly that part Of
the message relating to tae manner in which
Germany is discriminating against American
meat and other products upon the plea Of
sanitary precauton. which, the senator
thinks is unfuunded in fact. The president,
he sayr, seems to forget that he has rem
edy at hand by reason or legislation passed
by the Fify-nrSt congress. and which still
remains On the statute books.
In an act approved August 30 1890, Is
thl following section: "That whenever the
president shall be satisfied that unjust dis
crimnaticns are made by or under the au-
thOrity OF any foreign state against the i'm
portation TO or sale in such foreign state Of
any product of the United States, he may
direct that such products of such foreign
state so discriminating against any product
Of the United States as he may deem proper
shall be excluded from importation to the
United States, and in such cases he shall
make proclamation of his direction in the
premises and therein name the time when
such direction against imports shall take ef-
feet, and after such date the importations
of the articles named in such proclamation
shall be unlawful. The president may at
any time revoke. modify, terminate or re-
new any such direction as, In his opinion,
the public interest may require
Senator Davis says that If the president
should enforce the provision Of this law
against Germany for a short time there is
littlc doubt but 1t would soon be found will
ing to make place for American products
without discrimination. He says there are
plenty of German imports upon which an
embargo could be placed which would soon
bring that government to terms. He does
not think 1t will be necessary for the pres
ent congress to enact any additional egisla-
ton to secure the proper treatment of Amer
lean products abroad. So far it is known
that the meat packers have taken no steps
looking toward legislation to secure the in

FIGHTING FOR THE PAPER.
Heirs and Assignee QuarreIing Owe
mn InsMrnnce InlicH.

Heirs and Assignee Quarreling Over
nm Insurance Policy.
An insurance policy for 81 O00 which was
left by Edward F. Cook as part of his
estate, has occas!oned a considerable amount
of legal squabbling, to judge from the petit
tion regarding it which was filed in the strict
court yesterday. The suit is brought by
Fannie A. Meyers against the heirs of Cook $
estate.
The policy was issued to Cook in 1864 and
was made payable to his wife. His wife,
however, died before he did, and Fannie
Meyers alleged that he then, out of his love
for her. assigned 1t to her. she being his
wife's cousin. When Cook died his will was
probated and c. E. George was appointed
administrator of the estate.
The heirs made a demand that the insur-
ance policy be turned over to the estate and
they obtained an order from The county Judge
directing Fannie Meyers to turn 1t over. with
out prejudicing. however, any rights that she
might have in 1t. In due course Of time the
administrator got the policy. or late an
application was made in the county court for
an order making the policy a part OF the
estate, but the hearing has not yet occurred.
1t Is alleged at this point that d conspiracy
entered Into between the administrator
and the heirs to deprive the plaintiff of all
rights to the policy. The heirs issued a writ
OF replevin for the paper. and it is alleged
that Gsorge voluntarily turned it over. 1t is
claimed that the object of this action is to
obtain permanent possession Of the policy.
The hearing on the replevln occurs on De-
cember 6.
To forestall this alleged fraudulent scheme
Fannie Meyers has applied for and obtained
restraining order enjoning the administra-
tor and the heirs from taking part in the pro-
ceedngs in the justice court where the re-
pleyin proceedings are to be had until the
merits of the case can be decided by the dis
trirt court

Kneebs made his home for long time. and

MRS. PRIBBLE NOT SATISFIED.
Asks that Divorce Granted Her
Husband he Set Aside.


Ella Pribble is making a determined effort
to have the decree of divorce granted to her
husband set aside. The decree was granted
several days ago. when the case came up for
hearing. Mrs Pribble was not present and
she has filed a number of afiidavits in which
she shows why this was. and at the same time
insists that therefore the divorce ought to be
oct aside.
Mrs. Pribble has been in New York during
the greater part of the time since the divorce
suit was brought by Ira Pribble. She has
continually alleged that she had no means
with which to pay her fare to this city in
order to make a defense, and consequently
some weeks ago the court ordered transporta-
tion to be sent to her. 1t appears that the
clerk of the district court was ordered to
send the transportation November 2. The
clerk neglected to send the ticket, as shown
by affidavits and the stamp on the letter.

it until November 30 This was too late for
her to get to this city in time for the hear
ing of the case. She alleges in the affidavits
that she has been ready for some time TO
leave for Omaha, and was only awaiting the
arrival of the railroad ticket.
