Fiora our Eegular Correspondent For the Democrat The republicans in Con gress could not possibly be in a more demoralized condi tion than they are. Promi nent Senators are openly protesting against the tariff bill, and no republican Sena tor has so far dared to make a i-peech upon it for fear that the bill may be so radically changed that the speech could be quoted against the party in the campaign. The fight between the friends f Mr. l.tlniue ami of Speaker Heed , grows more bitter every day, and will without question be to the death; the anti-lllaine repub licans are openly sneering at the foreign policy of theCJov ernuient, which w rites ''jingo' letters to foreign ministers for the public perus.il and sends secret orders to' dis mantle the revenue cutters which ha;l been fitted up, es pecially to carry out. our alleged . policy in Behrings sea . ilr Harrison has, been ap pealed to to come to the res cue, and it is stated that he has promised to send a spec ial message to' Congress sug" gesting a compromise upon which his party may agree. Commissioner of Pensions Hautn is to receive a coat of whitewash from, the House committee on Pensions,, the republicans having decided that to be the easiest way of stopping the ugly talk about favoritism and other cro k-i nli'pssin t!i pmion omVe. j iTh publi will not he j lenient if ItcpresentativeU : t oont-r can stiiitant iatc Ins i h.ircs, and he is positiveleontinent. where the wealth 1 ! that he can.

Senator Morgan has introduced a hill for the his! no menus certain that the republicans will again sup port it. Senator Frye has received another letter from Mr. Maine on the reciprocity question. The "protection" theory seems to be playing out. What the republican party will scare up for an Issue at the next election is not apparent. Air. flame's letter was an absolute free trade document, although not to be oo sudden, lie sug gested the extension of com mercial liberty only to the countries of this continent. He gives Senator Frye the credit of having1 more sense than any other republican senators,' and thus excuses himself for addressing his letter to him. He says that this nation is fond of sugar, and that the revenue collect ed from that article last year was .f.")8,OOU.OOO. Ws the subject of debate in the Sen ate at present, and Senator Aldrich and his colleagues on the finance committee are trying to agree on a recipro city amendment to the Mc Kinley tariff bill, but do not want to have it labled 'Maine's scheme." It stands there yet as "un finished business." The most common sense view of the matter was '-endered by Senator Vance. He said that the removal of unneces sary taxes was a matter of wisdom, and that to con tinue to collect them was not to be thought of lor a mo ment. But those who would think so "would reckon with out their host." That had been proved by the history of the tariff commission of 1882, which had been utter ly ignored the wants of the people, and thought only of the wants and wishes of the manufacturers. What the people desired was a common sense rediu t ion of the reve nue, and a corresponding re lief of the payment of taxes, but the taking off of two cents a pound on one hand, and the paying of two cents a pound to the sugar pro ducer, on the other, was not the way to do it; uudei that system the taxes remained am the 'people had to pay them. Agriculture supplied 7o per cent of the foreign ex ports of this country, and the arrangement of the tar iff prevented such trade troui being quadrupled, by preclu ding other nations from exchanging-their products for those of America; und that the only possible effect of the McKinley bill was to aggra vate the evil. Put rel't "ling to Mr. Maine's letter, he said that if it were important to ex-ion tend American trad1 to Ceii-j so,trnland South America, it tHild not. be unimjMirtant todis!im t through thesti'dnc- extend it to tin' lairoit.'an i and inundation was ten I times a "rent. j The poor old Milviulev Bill eantmt find a friend. Sena tors Allison ami Pierce nre down on it. and everybody ashamed to lie ideal ilmd i it. " Th.. I.iwltn. ferli-ial ehft'oii bill is also Allocked out. The suli-conimittee of the Senate have so mutilated it with amendments that it will hardly be recognized. The nice little scheme which Mr. Blaine hatched up to have Congress charter an In ternational American bank, with his personal friends and political supporters as offi cials, stands -ery little show ot being endorsed by Con gress. Senator Morgan, a mem ber of the Senate committee on Foreign affairs, says there will be no war with England; but that if there should be, Russia would, in honor bound be compelled to become our ally.

Years ago, a young man, working his way through college, took charge of a dis trict school in Massachusetts during the winter term. Three boys especially engag ed his attention and interest. They w ere brigh t, wide awake lads, kept together in their classes, and were never tar- dy. One night he asked them to remain after school was dismissed. They came up to the desk, and stood in a row, waiting with some anxiety to know why they had been kept. "Joys," said the teacher, "I want you to go to college, all three of you." "Go to college!" If hehad said, "Go tu Central Africa," they could not have been more astonished. The idivj had never entered their minds. "Yes," continued the teach er, l'I know you are surpris ed, but yet, you can do it. as well as I. Go home, think it over and come to meagain." The three boys were poor. Their 'parents had all they could do to feed and clothe them decently, and allow them a term of schooling in the winter. One was the son of a shoe maker; another came from a large family, and the farm that support ed them was small and un productive The boys stood still for a moment in pure amazement. Then they looked at each other and around the old school house, the fire wis going out in the box-stove. The frost was setting fast u the window pane. As t bncher took out his watch. the ticking soun iedhmd and ot t tie room. .Nothing more, was said, though the lour' walked out together.

Twenty years later, two 'of these boys shook hands to gether in the State capitol. One was Clerk of the House for eight years, and after wards its speaker. The oth er was President of the Sen ate.

"A better pair of French calf," he de clares, "you never saw." He learned the trade from his father, and followed it through vacations. The other boys found work to do outside of term-time, and none of the three were helped by their parents during- their college course.
