through Congress, providing that
the interest on this money shall be
distributed among needy ex-Con-
federate soldiers, and that when
they no longer need such aid, the
principal shall revert to the govern
ment, to be used as any other
money provided by Congress. In
order to avoid any charge of par
tisanship, even by implication, Mr..
Otey proposes having the bill intro
duced by a Republican, if he can
get one to do it.
The calm which now prevails
among the Republicans of the
House, is as ominous in Its way as
that which precedes a storm at sea.
To the inexperienced onlooker,
Speaker Reed is a car, indeed. But
there is a reason why everything
seems to be going Mr.. Reeds way
among his party colleagues in the
House. He hasn't announced the
committee assignments. Until he
does, the calm is likely to last; all
of the Republicans want to get as
good committee places as they can.
But after the assignments are an
nounced, the disappointed ones will
be numerous; and Mr.. Reed cannot
let them down easy by saying that
he was bound by promises made
before his election to disappoint
them, as his friends have for weeks
besn making a special point of
claiming that he would become
speaker, without having made a
single promise, and that he was
free to arrange the committees
Just as he wanted them. Therefore,
every disappointed man will know
Just who to hold responsible. 1t is
charged also that Mr.. Reed took a
hand in naming the minor officers
Of the House, who were elected to-
lay, which made him some more
enemies in his own party. On the
whole the outlook for him can
hardly be considered a pleasant

WASHINGTON LETTER.

FROM Our neSulAr OOrrcsPonucneI
Washington, Dec. 2nd, 1895
The most noticeable thing about
the opening of Congress to Dem
ocrat, was the absence of so many
of the men who have for years
fought in the front rank of the
Democratic party. Among the
absentees In the Senate are Butler,
of South Carolina, who has bsen
succeeded by Ex-Governor Tillman;
Hunton of Virginia, whose success
sor is Martin, q good Democrat;
Mcpherson of New Jersey, sue
ceeded by Republican, and Ran
som of North Carolina, whose sue
cessor is a Populist. But it is in
the House where the hole in the
Democratic ranks is the biggest.
1t seems strange to hear a roll called
without the names of such veterans
in Congressional harness as Hol-
man and Bynum of Indiana,
Springer, of Illinois; Kilgore of
Texas; Hatch and Heard of Mis-
sour; Cultivate of Ohio, and a
score of others who have won
honors and scars battling for Demo-
cratic principles.
Ex-Speaker Crisp will, of course,
be the leader of the Democrats of
the House during the present ses-
sion, the man who will call down
Gar Reed every time he attempts
to trample upon the rights of the
minority. There has been no
thought among Democrats that this
would be otherwise, as was shown by
the votes of the Democratic caucus
all cast for Mr.. Crisp. The stories
about the administration desiring
another man for leader had their |
origin with those who wished to
add to the unfortunate differences
already existing in the Democratic
party by making it appear that
President Cleveland was demanding |
that no silver man should be given
. post of honor. 1t is needless to
say to any intelligent Democrat
that President Cleveland never
thought of such q thing as dictat-
ing to or interfering in any way
With the Democrats In the House.
Representative Otey, of Virginia,
has . scheme that will injure no
one and may greatly benefit needy
az Confederate soldiers If it can be
carried through. In the Treasury
there is an accumulation of money,
'equestered during and directly af-
,er the war, for want of evidence

ng to about SIS 100000. Inas-
much a. this money belongs in the
South, and that its rightful owners

my physician has been attending regularly,
calling from to twice daily, the all the

brought about One-half teaspoonful Of CUTICURA,
advising to try 1t, telling Of himself, brothers
and mother having been cured by 1t. l would not
try it ut first, although had been crutches for
over two weeks and at one time counted between
twenty-five and thirty suppurating sores, and had
not slept more than five hours in three nights.
Monday morning about O'Clock the pain, burning

try CUTlCGlA, thinking that If 1t did no good, 1t
could not make my leg much worse, for 1t was as
raw as a piece of beef and red beet, so

L lay down was asleep. Next day sent and got

the warm atmosphere inside caused tho
liquor to make its work more effective, and
the guests were soon engaged in fight.
A member of the Newmeyer family went

to hurry.
Come quick said Mrs. Newmeyer.

Policemen Sweet and Bryan responded to

and jumped upon by the Northeast WASH

He soon had out his blackjack, and sue

This morning they appeared before Judge
Miller, where they had appeared many
times before, and the judge gave them two

for Hotel Cafe where rooms could be rented

twenty sections rooms could be easily fitted up

Benjamin Hunter Had n Warning for
Public Men.
Maj. Moore, chief of police. has received
word of the arrest in New York of a col
ored coachman named Benjamin F. Hun
ter, about when the New York police had
been asked to make inquiries. The police
here do not know Hunter, except what
they learned of him through his own writ
ings. They are certain that he is re-
ligious crank, and their opinion of the
coachman is based on letter he directed
to the judges of the Supreme Court. This
letter was written on tablet paper, bearing
printed religious matter and red stamp,
giving notice that 1.-The days of grace have
passed." and saying depart from ME. for
l know you not"
His address was given as No. $50 East
165th street, New York city, and the cir
Culars purported to give his headquarters
in this city. The letter to the Supreme
Court judges Is as follows:
Tidings-Tidngs-T
To the judges of the Supreme Court of
the United States and all the members
thereof:
Be it, and 1T is hereby known to you and
all nations. languages and tongues, now
living in all states and territories in the
United States, that l am now chief ruler
of this generation of people forever. For
of all the prophets that have been before
me l am the chief of them ALL Thus says
the Lord God, your time Is outcome
down and lie in the dust, for 1 chastised
the Jews with the rod. But will chas tise
you all with everlasting dannation.
Amen! Amen! Amen!
BENJAMIN F. HUNTER.
When this letter was turned over to the
police Inspector Holinberger wrote a let
ter to Superintendent Byrnes, in New
York. asking that inquiries be made about
the man. but no request was made for his
arrest The police wanted to know whether
or not the mar is dangerous. 1t is thought
that the police in New York must have
concluded that the dangerous character
of the man required that he should be
locked up.
At present there is no charge against
the colored coachman here, but there may
be charge made after further investiGa-
ton.
Reports from New York today state
that Hunte, has written crank letters to
other people also. Before the election and
Immediately following the inaugural ton he

had in his pocket was a small Bible.
His body will probably be buried in pot
