Washington Letter.
Washington, Feb "a, 1896.

w aSnlnStOn, req x, lOoo.
President Cleveland dropped a
hint to a gentleman who was talking
with him a day or Two ago that
will not be enjoyable news to the
republican Presidential candidate
who presides over the House, and
who has lately been congratulatlng
himself on the apparent success OF
the do nothing programme he ar
ranged for Congress many months
ago. President Cleveland made it
plain to his caller that he thought
the country was to day as badly in
need Of financial legislation as when
he sent that special message to Com
gress asking that no Christmas re,
cess be taken also, that if Congress
adjourned without adopting some
legislation for the reliet of the Treas
ury he would not hesitate to call an
extra session a: once for the purpose
Of providing that relief Of course,
MIR. Cleveland knows that he cannot
make Congress pass remedial leglsa
tion by calling AN extra session, but
he can focus public attention upon
the refusal or inability of the repub-
lican Congress to adopt legislation
that would relieve the Treasury, and
intelligent people will not be slow
either in placing the responsibility or
in locating the reason. The republi-
cans are afraid that if they should
help to put the Treasury in good
shape it might lessen their chances
for carrying the Presidential election
by making the country too prosper
Gus They don't wish the country
to get too prosperous before election.
The Republican Senators are still
wrangling over that tariff bill. This
week Senator Carter, Of Montana,
will call up the same notion that
Senator Quay once made and then
Withdrew, to send the Till back to
the Finance Committee, aud will
make a speecl, in favor Of it. The
democratic Senator's will probably
vote solidIy for Cartcr's motion. or
for any other that promises to aid IN
killing the tariff bill
Speaker Reed is even greater than
the rules he has made for the govern
ment Of the House. BY those rules
ey.members are entitled to the
privileges of the floor, but they are
rot allowed to exercise that privilege
until they have procured pass
signed by Mr.. Reed, as all the door
keepers of the House have positive
orders not to admit ex-members who
canuot show Gar Reeds pass
The watchman and southron. [volume] (Sumter, S.C.) 1881-1930, 1896-02-26

This regulation explains why so few
ex. members have been seen on the
floor of the House at the present
session. They don't care to apply
for Reeds pass.
Senator Morgan, of Alabama, has
succeeded in putting G. P. Hunting
ton, the Pacific Railroad magnate, on
the defensive After failing to get
any important direct information out
of Huntington, IN the examination
before the Senate Pacific Railroads
Committee, Senator Morgan pro,
duced copy Of the report made by
the Z. S. Comm ission, more popu-
larly known as Patterson Commits
sion," owing to Ex-Gov Patterson,
Of Pennsylvania, having been at the
head of it, concerning the roads in
question, and proceeded to call
Huntington's attention TO statements
of fact therein Huntington tried to
poopoo the whole thing including
the testimony Of enc of his former
partners, the late Senator Stanford,
of California, as amounting to moth.
ing. But that didn't go. Senator
Morgan called him down at once,
and giving him copy of the Pat
terson report, told him that the COM
mittee was disposed to be entirely
fair towards him and would give him
week to present evidence disprov-
ing the statements in that report,
and shat in the absence of conclusive
evidence to the contrary, the coun-
try and Congress would accept the
report as containing the truth in full,
and that he had doubt Congress
would Iegislate accordingly This
brought Huntington to bay, and he
promised to prepare his answer to The
report.
The democratic Congressional Cam
paign Committee was organized for
business tonight. and will soon begin
the work of the campaign.
Considerable interest has been
aroused among the friends of the
other candidates by the report that
deal has been made by which the
friends of Mr.. Harrison, Gov. Morton
and Senator Allison, are to try to
make the ticket Allison and Morton.
@Three of the republican represent
atives from Pennsylvania refused to
put their names to the endorsement
of Quay's dickering candidacy, and
they do not hesitate to say that Quay
cannot control the entire Pennsylva-
MIA delegation either for himself or
for anybody else
Not few democrats express the
belief that Secretary Carlisle's judg
ment was at fault when he wrote that
letter to the democrats Of the Ken
lucky legislature who are trying to
elect Blackburn senator, and that he
will see it in that light himself before
many months have rolled around.
Congress is getting warmed up on
the Cuban question and will very
shortly take action which is generally
believed will result in the recognition
of Cuban beIligerency.

The General Assembly has decided
TO adjourn on March 7th, but many
of the Legislators would linger much
longer in Columbia had they a
chance.
The report of the public printing
investigating committee shows that
the Public Printer has been having
soft snap al the expense of the tax
payers, and that there is room for re-
trenchment and reform in the de-
partment of printing and publicity
established by reform Legislature.
The Legislature proposes levying
tax of twenty-five cents per pack
on cigarettes. The bill introduced
by Mr. Connor has passed the House
and is said to have fair chance of
passing the Senate Should the bill
become alaw, cigarettes will be almost
as expensive as cigars. and unless
cigarette blind tigers are established,
the cigarette fends will find suicide
by the cigarette route rather costly.
It is somewhat doubtful, however,
whether the bill will become a law,
and cigarette smokers are hoping
that the bill will never get beyond
the Senate, the graveyard of House
bills.
Congressman J. VIM. Stokes will
introduce bill in Congress at an
early day that will provide for an ap-
preparation to erect a monument in
honor of Gen Thomas Sumter, the
Revolutionary warrior and hero. 1t
is but proper that the National
Government should honor the mem
ory of Sumter in the same manner as
has been done in the case of other
men less renowned and whose SER
vices were less valuable Sumter
was as true patriot and as hard a
fighter as bore arms during the war
for independence, and while he is in
no danger Of being forgotten, mon
ument would be an appreclatlve
recognition of his services by the
National Government
The Brozton Bridge lynchers have
been acquitted Of the murder Of
Hannah Walker. and we're cougraiu-
lated by crowds when the jury an
pounced the verdict. No oue denies the
guilt Of these men. and the result Of
tie triAl is not the viudication Of inno-
cent men, but 90 the contrary IS the
prostitution of the law to shield wcn
whose guilt is too glaricg to be Goa
cezled. The verdic: of the jury Is ao
outrage TO say the least.

Hunting the Wild Goat.

The White Goat or Rocky Mountain
Goat al it indiscriminately called, is a
species OF big game rarely hunted by
sportsmen. This is not SO much because
OF the difficulty OF killing the
animal, nor because of It's actual
rarity. 1t is a stupid animal, easily shot
when once found. 1t is not, however
found in the usual hunting grounds, as
are bear, deer, elk, etc. 1t is remote from
the common localities, but where found
is in goodly numbers. It ranges very
high up in the mountains, above timber
line usually, among rocks and cliffs
This requires great labor to get to it, bu,
once there the hunter will get his game
nine times out OF ten.
