Washington Letter.

Washington, Nov. 20. 1895.
Speaker-to-be Reed has been the
planet around which everything con-
gfossional-has revolyed since his ar
rival IN Washington early this week.
One might suppose from the number
OF those who profess TO know his in
tentions that he had spent the entire
week taking newspaper men into his
confidence, ii one dlut know "a
heap sight" better. Like the wise
man that he is he will unquestionably
do in the future as he has in the past
allow his acts 10 tell his intentions
and let other men, less wise. do the
talking lie has. however. done two
very good things, for himself and for
the republican party advised all re-
publican members OF the House TO 90
slow and to consider well before com
uniting themselves to any particular
line of policy and absolutely refused
to take any part or 10 express any
preference in the contest for the
minor house officers. Although it Is
believed that he has nearly or quite
completed the assignment 81 men,
bers TO committees he declines to dis
cuss that matter until after he has
taken his seat as speaker. Then it Is
expected that he will give the mem
hers an opportunity Of expressing
themselves on the subject before he
announces the committees. and will
so far rs it may be judicious make
such changes as may be desired.
keeping in view the welfare of the
party as whole and not the ambition
of individuals to occupy prominent
places. Right here wish to record 4
prediction. which is not based upon
con lecture When the committee
announcements are made il will be
seen shat Mr.. Reed has not organized
the committee Of the House IN the in
terest Of his own candidacy for the
republican presidential nomination.
but in the interest Of business like
disposition Of legislation and conse-
quently in the interest of the repub-
lican party and of the country as a
whole Mr.. Reed is ambitious of be-
ing president but be is more ambi-
tious Of seeing the republican party
restore the prosperity Of the country
by lis wise legislation.
The Kansas delegation in Congress
is unit in being disguised with the
manner in which the state DEPART
ment has conducted the Waller case.
Secretary Olney has ignored their
protests and suggestions aud now
they propose that Congress shall have
a say abuutit. a resolution is to be
introduced III both branches IL Con

that France should be compelled, by
force if necessary, to furnish that rec
ord. A number of newspaper men
and other citizens of Washington
have arranged for benefit for Waller
and his family and the manager of
the academy of music has donated its
free use.
Mr.. John W. Yerkes, who had the
honor of being chairman of the re-
publican state committee of Kentucky
in the recent campaign, is in Wash
ington to see the opening of Congress.
He says: I'VE have redeemed Ken
lucky and / haven't the slightest
doubt that it is going to stay redeem
ed. In 1894 we carried the state on
national issues and did it again this
year on national and state issues
comb p" Mr. Yerkes thinks the
chances favor the election of a repub-
lican senator and that Blackburn can
not be reelected, even should the re-
port that he has captured the votes
of the two populist members of the
legislature prove to be true. He be-
lieyes that there are democrats in the
legislature who will vote for a repub-
lican sooner than see Blackburn re-
elected.
Presidential booms are arriving in
Washington along with the congress
men, although their custodians are
rarely members of either house or
senate. For instance, Chairman
Hackett of the New York state re-
publican committee. says: New
York is for Morton and we expect to
see him nominated We have no
second choice. We do not expect to
need any. We intend to nominate
Morton" Mr. George w. Curtis, the
rich Iowa lumberman, says: tSena-
tor Allison will have the solid and
continued support of Iowa and he
will also be the first choice of several
neighboring states, especially those
lying TO the westward and the second
choice of many others

For Manual Training

The state superintendent has Issued
circular of information relating to
the organization and maintenance OF
departments of manual training in
connection with high schools. The
law providing for such departments
was passed at the last session of the
legislature. 1t recites among other
things that any high school maintain
ing manual training department
whose course shall be approved by the
state superintendent shall receive the
sum Of $3.50 state aid, annually.
Superintendent Emery has been
giving the subject much attention
and hence the delay in issuing the
circular Of information. He announce
es that to meet his approval the pro-
posed courses must be as comprehen-
sive as is indicated by the following
scope of work:
Gay The scheme Of work should
cover at least two years of time aud
should be Of character to afford ad-
yantages to all classes and both sexes
represented in the school.
(b) specifically, the scheme should
include instruction and exercises in
free hand and mechanical drawing.
(c) instruction and exercises in
bench work in wood-sawing plan
ing, lemons, mortises, joinery. inlaid
work, etc, etc.
(d) Instruction and exercises in
lathe work in wood woodworking,
face-plate and understanding, polish
ing and simple designing
(e) Instruction and exercises in
blacksmithIng elementary processes
Of the forge welding, forging and
tempering.
() Lathe work in metal metal
turning, use of machine and hand
tools in metal work; exercises devised
to develop uses OF tools.

The petition to bond the town OF
Bloomington for $l6,7 for the pur-
pose of buying l67 shares of stock in
the Bloomington Railroad Company
mas been signed by majority of tax
payers Of the town and if the other
features of the enterprise can be salts
factorily arranged the bonds will be
issued. The prospects for a railroad
for Bloomington are brighter than
they have been before although there
is still some very decided opposition
to the project.

Charges of cruelty and misconduct
were made to the Richland county
board Of supervisors against the SUI
perintendent of the poor Of that coun-
ty. The committee to whom the
matter was referred made thorough
investigation and found things in a
very unsatisfactory condition. 1t
seems that the hired man. even. has
been in the habit of using whip up
on inmates who work with him on
the farm. The board condemned the
discipline of the institution and have
taken steps to secure much-needed
reform.

attention from the HERALD during

than they were entitled TO receive.

resist disease is lessened because a
cough sticks to them a few days.
They change their ideas when they
have tried the Pineola balsam, for it

when he tells US that at a game of

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications as they can
not reach the diseased portion Of the
ear. There is only one way to cure
deafness and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
iniiamed condition of tho mucus lin
ing OF the eustachian tubes. When
this tube gets infiamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed deaf
ness is the result and unless the in
Illumination can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be DESTROYED forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by
catarrh which is nothing but an in
