A group of men were chatting
in the cafe of q Walnut street club
the other evening, says the Phila-
delphia Record, when the CONVEX
sation turned on professional beg
gars. A young man present had
Just declared that he wouldn't give
to any beggar; that he had been
fooled too often, and that they
could starve for all he cared. At
this, an elderly man, q well-known
lawyer, interrupted him, saying:
"You shouldn't talk like that. I'd
give assistance to any one who
asked me, and I'll give you my
reasons for 80 doing. Two years
ago last December a man came in
my Office and asked for help, say
ing that he was hungry and cold
and had no place to sleep. Now I
was in q bad humor that after
noon; 80, although the man looked
respectable and his story had q
ring of truth, I refused to aid him.
That night was one of the coldest
for years, and the papers the next
day contained the description Of q
man found frozen to death on a
vacant lot That description sent
chill of horror through me. To
satisfy myself I went to the NOR
que, and sure enough, there he
lay, with q look on his face that I
shall never forget It haunted me
for months, and I couldn't help
myself for his death. A few PEN
nies would have sheltered him for
the night and I wouldn't have had
q mans death to answer for." -

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From Our Regular Correspondent.

From Our Regular Correspondent
WASHINGTON, d. c., Feb 10, 1897.
Speaker Reeds alleged deter
mination to con6ue the 1egisla-
ton of the extra session to the
tariff bill! by not naming the
committees of the house other
than the ways and means, rules,
mileage and accounts, is not
pleasing, to many members of the
present house who will also be in
the next, and hints have been
dropped that he may be COM
PEELED to name the committee on
appropriations by the failure of
one or more of the regular appro-
priation bills at the present ses-
sion. Whether these hints have
anything substantial behind them
must now soon be apparent. 1t
is admitted that some of the APP
preparation bills will have a close
shave to get through even with
everybody working harmoniously
to that end, so that if there are
any considerable number who are
deSirouS to have one or more
of them fail it will be compara-
lively easy for theru to accom-
plish their purpose by raising OBJ
stacles to delay action, something.
that skilled parliamentarians can
almost always do without resort
ing to direct fillibustering.,

Improvement of the mouth of the

an extravagant appropriation. |
certainly would not ask what is
proposed by this bill, the sum of
$500, 600, for the Improvement of
Winyaw Bay, S. C. The collect
or OF customs only takes i'll 1856
year, and it will be two million
years before he will take IN
enough to pay the amount of the
appropriation provided by this
bill, which is only beginning Of
the outlay" At this point Re
preventative Sayers interrupted
half jocularly: Where is Win
yaw Bay?:" The laughter raised
by the question had not subsidized
before Mr.. Pearson promptly re-
piled: "About 5000 miles from
Kewenaw Bay, for which an ap-
prlation of 100000 is also made.
1t is also about thousand miles
from the Yazoo river, which gets
100000 and about the same dis
tance from Bayou Plaquemine, in
Louisiana, which also gets $780,
600" He closed by nagging the
members of tile committee on river
and harbors, nearly every one of
whom, he said, had secured
$4,000 600 appropriation for his
district or state, although the
chairman had only S39S, 258 in his
appropriation.
1t is highly pleasing to the
Cuban syn1pathizers that Senator
Frye, the ranking member of the
committee on foreign relations,
will waive his claim for the chair
nanship when Senator Sherman
becomes secretary of state. That
will give the Craftsmanship to
Senator Davis of Minnesota, one
Of the most pronounced friends of
Cuba in congress, provided, Of

they will.

pored with January of last year.
Two-thirds of the postoffices re-
ported heavy decrease, and the
increase in the others was small.

IS always shown by increased pos

The first national congress of
mothers, which was in session in
Washington this week, fairly di-
vlded honors, so far as public
attention was concerned, with
the other congress, and its pro-
ceedings were just as important,
in the eyes of many. The eighth
annual convention of the supreme
council of the Farmers Alliance
and Iadus trial Union was also
held in Washington this week.
Whatever may have been the
the object of Senator Chandler,
who is known not to be over
friendly towards Maj. Mckinley,
in making that speech in favor Of
his resolution declaring for bimet-
allisin, all unpreiudiced men Will
admit that his warning to Presi-
dent Mckinley contained words
of wisdom which are not affected
by the motive actuating the
speaker. In this warming Mr..
Chandler said: ''If the republi-
can party shall content itself with
seizing and enjoying the spoils of
of office, surrendering unreserved-
ly to the money power which SO
effectively contributed to it's recent
victory, acquiescing permanently
in the existing gold standard and
treating binetallism as a Jug
CLING humbug' and the promise
to promote it as pledge never
intended to be fulfilled, republi-
cans will speedily find the tide OF
political battle once more turned
against them and they will soon
exchange places with their now
sore, bleeding, aud PROSTATE foes.
To the coming triumphant presi-
dent, hopeful and overconfident,

a race, and to his chosen advis-

adverse currents of the future. I

concerning the pending world
wide controversy over the burning
question of money: Unsettled
questions pay no heed to the

considered best. 1t all depends
upon the shoot Plowman and the
democrats take, when the caucus

afternoon states that Senator
Kyle has been elected by the
solid republican vote added to
thirteen populists and "balance
democrats. This is one of the
unexpected things aud no one
can tell how it happened. Fur
ther information is anxiously
awaited.
Sometimes III some states,
where senators have been elected
with a great rush, there has been
serious scandals connected with
the event. This was the case
when Brice was chosen in Ohio
and Quay III Pennsylvania. This
