free entry to foreign built ships
only on condition that those who
bring them in shall construct ves-
sells of the same tonnage in the
United States. In other words a
copy of the bill under which the
steamship line was
granted American registers for the
foreign built vessels New York and
Paris.
In addition to the large number
of American lawyers and fnanciers
in Washington for the purpose Of
trying to have saYin the proposed
legislation dealing with the Pacific
railroads, Sir Charles Wilson, an
English financier, has arrived to
look out for the English money
invested in these roads. The im-
preston is growing that this is
another important question that
will be left Enacted upon.
Senator Burrows, of Michigan,
to-day began his Senatorial career
and no man ever started in with
more good wishes than he. AL
though one of the strongest parti-
sans on all political questions who
ever sat in the House, Mr.. Burrows
has always been highly esteemed
personally by his political oppo-
nents. That his career in the
Senate will be quite as marked as
the one he made in the House is
your correspondents prediction.
Representative-elect Huff, of Pa,
who is a successful business man, is
in Washington looking over the
ground Of his future labors. He
says: "The country is sick and
tired Of agitation and ought to be
given rest. The president may
choose to call an extra session. but
| should think it very undesirable
from a Democratic standpoint, as it

of the country. Senator Sherman

and l do not see why the Demo

1t will be a long time before SEN
ator Blackburn, of Kentucky, hears
the last Of his ridiculous and silly
statement, that the city of Walla
Walla, Washington, was not on
railroad. 1t was one of the most
glazing displays Of ignorance ever
made on the floor of the Senate,
and it will be strange indeed if
those who oppose Blackburn's re-
election to the Senate do not make
good use of it in the legislative
campaign in Kentucky this year.
Some of the members of the
House committee of the Judiciary
having become ashamed of the
undue haste with which that COM
mittee ordered the preparation and
presentation Of an impeachment
resolution against Judge Kicks, of
Ohio. The committee has recon
sidered its action, in order to give
Judge Kicks hearing, and no one
will be surprised if the committee
finally votes against impeachment.

Washington is at all times a place
of interest, but it is particularly so
and is seen at its best during the
winter months when Congress is IN
session. What Rome was to every
soldier of the empire, what Athens
was to the Greek, Washington is
and should be to every citizen of
the United States-his glory, his
pride, his inheritance, his estate

cence, ali its glory, all its fame, its
public buildings, its paintings, its
statuary, its monuments, its gar
dens, its libraries, its museums, its
streets and its parks. You have
no doubt often promised yourself
