WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our Regular correspondentO

(FrOm our Regular correspondent
WASHINGTON, Dee. Few of
the old-stagers who attended the
opening session Of either the House
or the Senate-there are mary per-
sons IN Washington, who could not
be paid to miss an opening day of
Congress-regretted that the Presi-
dents message wss not sent in, Tor
it is wearisome tssk at best to sit
through the sinG-song reading of
message by the reading clerks, which
few ever perform to the extent of
following intelhgently all the way
through, 1t is so much more conven-
lent to read it at your ease, in the
newspapers-and the message 10 be
read tomorrow, in both House and
Senate, is unusually long more than
10000 words-and although it is
very important document, will con-
tain little that has not been outlined,
through the Presidents speeches and
the remarks of his advisers in and out
of the Cabinet, bv theever-vigilant
newspapers ofthe country.
With the exception ofthe skirniish
in the House, which for time threat
ened to become a pitched political
battle, oyer referring the case OF
Roberts to a Committee before al
lowing him TO be sworn IN, there
was nothing exciting in the opening
session of either branch of Congress
The session of the Senate, which had
no organization to perfect, was very
short, adjournment following the an
nouncement of Vice President Ho-
bart'S death. The House, after elect

exception of Mr.. Henry Casson, Of
Wise, who was elected Sergeant-at-
Arms, in place of Mr.. b. +. Russell,
of Mo, who held that Office Ill the
last Congress, and swearing in its
members, also adjourned after the
announcement of Mr.. Hobalt's death.

Hon. JAS. HAY, ofthis Congress
sional District was made chairman Of
the democratic caucus of the House
Of Representatives. As this honor
is generally conferred upon the oldest
member OF the House, it is slgnifi-
cant that Mr.. Hay, who is not a very

the honor.
Hon. Mr.. Richardson, ofTennessee

For THE SHENANDOAH HERALD.

So, solve are told that the lit.
Tic Penthouse Politicians from Shen-
andoah and elsewhere in the State
and the bigger, the Boss Politicians
from Washington with Senators
Daniel and Martin all have focked
to Richmond, for what? Why to in.
fuence and dictate Legislative action
in the Virginia democratic Legisla-
ture. Perhaps not alone to keep
these "terrible Independent Dem
ocrats' out of caucus, but also to pre-
pare and get ready for other fat jobs
that will be sprung IN due time.
However what an humiliating pic
ture to free and intelligent Virgin
ia Democrat, to see his Representa-
tives like children under the control
of guardians, managed and driven
by professional politicians and Office
holders. Congress is in session, there
is the place for them to be, for that
they get their pay, be they Daniel,
NJ artiD, Hay or others. But these
gentlemen have gotten to think
themselves the masters ofthc people,
1t is time they were undeceived and
the free intelligent 'Independent
Voter" is going to do his part. The
more we see of the doings of the SO
called party organization the more
do we see the necessity for a radical
change. Let the people act ! These
men and their party papers may CRY
ont Independents, Independents
/ Traitors and all that sort of stuff,
but the politician the Office holdol
are the ones to squeal We the In
dependents are not seeking office,
but we want to turn out q lot Of
these fellows that have been feeding
at the big trough too long already
and have forgotten their places. l
for one, a democrat long before these
little shyster politicians knew what
Democracy means, am in favor OF
maintaining a full organization Of
Independent Democrats not only III
Shenandoah but in every county Of
the State. This feeling OF restiyeness
and desire to shake off and get rid
ofpolitical rings is growing from day
to day and the people generally are
waking up to the necessity of change
and don't propose to be driven by
the politician.

The cases Of Senator Stands and
Rep sentative Stickley. have been
referred to committees 10 ascertain
whether they shall be admitted as
members of the democratic caucuses.
AS TO the effect of their admission
upon the legislation of the General
Assembly, it amounts to nothing.
As to the influence it will have
upon the democratic party, all
lovers of the party feel deep solici-
tude.
We find Senator Martin and men,
bers of the House of Representatives
trying to control the action of the
Legislature of Virginia. If the men
who have been sent there TO repre-
sent the people of this state, submit
10 such interference, it shows con-
clusively Il at they IRE not fit TO rep
resent the people, and if Virginians
are made of the material generally
supposed, it will be but a short time
until they have other representatives.
1t is evident that the party has fallen
into bad hands, and the politicians
who are now attempting to "lord it"
over the people will be called down.
1t is very evident that a ring has
been formed, the leading spirit Of
which is Senator Martin. To burst
that ring will be the effort of thou'-
ands of democrats of Virginia. VIII
they succeed? There is but one way
of judging the future, and that is by
the past.
If Senator Martin, in the deep.
stiffness of the night, will intently
listen, he may hear still small voice
exclaiming: "What | am now, thou

MANY Republican papers are dis
posed to make capital of the fact
that Notwithstanding the enormous
expenses of worse than useless war
the public debt decreased $4,000, 600
in the month Of September. If they
make the taxes heavy enough, they
could pay the entire pubic debt in
one year, but the Poop e. we fear,
would not much enjoy the operation.
When the annual receipts were 500,
100000 in excess OF expenditures,
President Cleveland advocated the
policy of relieving the people of tax
alton,
The fact that the government now
has enormous revenues will naturally
raise the question; "Who paws the
