WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our Regular Correspondent
jor the Democrat
Republican audacity can
scarcely go farther than it
did on Saturday when one of
the door k 'epers of thellouse
claiming to be acting under
instructions from the Speak
er, attempted to use force to
pi-event Representative En
loe leaving the House for a
-., minutes. Mr. Enloe, ns
any other American citizen
would have done, insisted
upon his right, to go and
come at; lu' pleased. Later,
Mr. Enloe brought the mat
ter before the House as a
question of personal privi
lege, and very naturally
wanted to know if the Speak
er had issued such instruc
tions, and if so by what au
thority. The Speaker denied having
issued such instructions; but
at the same time stated it as
his opinion that the door
keeper had done right. St.
Joseph Cannon, who is sec
ond only .to Mr. Reed in
audacity, defended the ac
tion of the insolent door
keeper. Mr. Enloe protested
that if officers of the House
were to be given the author
ity to keep members in the
House against their wills,
they would some day kern
them out of the House by
the same authority. The
matter was finally refered to
the committee on the Judici
ary, and a majority of that
committee being republicans
but little is to bee.Hvted in
t lie .shuM' of justice.
Truly one might ask. un
der what form of (iovern
ment do we live? Oliver
Cromwell found it necessary
to use a regiment of soldiers
to disperse the English Par
liament; but the myrmidons
of Speaker Rcvd. without the
strength of an armed body,
attempt to control the ac
tions of democrat ie members
of the House by slnvr au
dacity. What a spectacle
for a free country!
It is now apparent that
the infamous Federal Ehv
tion bill is to be railroaded
through the Senate by force
of the party whip lustily
wielded by that sanctimo
nious, but unscrupulous son
of England, Senator Geo. E.
Hoar. Ithn.srbeen reported
to the Senate and put on the
calendar, and in order to fa
cilitate itspnssagetherosoln
tions providing for the
adoption of a gag rule, to
cut off debate, has been in
troduced and refered to the
committee on Rules. The
talk about the bill having
bef n modified by the commit
tee is bosh; it has been sim
plified to a certain extent,
but, it remains one of the
most obnoxious measures
ever attempted to be forced
unon n defenseless people.
Historv will rijrhtlv charac
terize it as an attempt to
Polanderiz" the South.
Senator Vance stirred nn
the rermblienn .Senatorial
Mennsrerie on Satnrdav bv
showinsr how nniust the tar
iff bill as it now stands is to
the agricultural interests of
the country. Mr. Vance
made nn unsuccessful at
tempt to have certain claus
es amended and the republi
cans as if to mnk'P the bill
still more nniust to the
South, adopted an amend
ment raising the duty on
cotton-ties.
Mr. Blaine's reciprocity
idea is ahead, and the indi
cations are that it will cer
tainlv be adopted bv the
Senate, but in the House,
where Speaker Reed who is
bitterly opposed to it. is sole
Monarch it mnv possiblv be
defeated. Messrs Reed Mc
Kinlev and others of the
Chinese wall high protection
wino: of the republican party
are trying to convince Mr.
Harrison that it will be ruin
ous to him and his party for
him to send a message to
Coneress favoring reoipro
citv, as he has promised to
do'.
The republicans of the
House, particularly Mr.
Reed and his coterie, hnve
presistmg antagonized the
workingmen of the country
during this entire session of
Congress, and if they do rot
hear from it at the coming
elections it will be strange
indeed. The employes of the
Government printing office
are threatening to make
trouble because an- amend
ment providing for the erec
tion of a new building for
that establishment was
stricken out in the House.
The need of this new building
is conceded by all, but it is
refused in order U) enable the
republicans to pise as eeon
ninists. Senator Morrill, who h i
gone ji way ill. is not in fa
vor of reciprocity; he says its
only logical out come will lie
fre' trade,
Mr Wanamaker says the
new style of postal cards in
several sizes will be almost
ecjual to letter postage. Mr
Wanamaker is mistaken:
there is as much differaneeas
there is between the present.
Postmaster General and a
Statesman.
The entire administration
and all of the Wash'ngton
pension attorneys, either in
person or by proxy have
gone to the G. A. R. encamp
ment at Roston. The first
named is in search of politi
cal capital, and the last of
hard cash in the shape of
applications for pensions.
Sick Headache and a, sensation
of o ipression and dullness in the
head, are very commonly pro
duced by indigestion: morbid
despondency, irritability and
over sonsitivnoss of the nerves
may, in a majority of cases, be
traced to the same cause, nr. J.
a. .McLeans Liver and kidney
nahn and cillets will positively
cure.
IN MEMORIAL.
llou. Matter W. Lmoir.
Special Cor. State Chronicle.
The State as a body poli
tic, our whole people as a
mere community and the
church to which he belonged
and was so devotedly attach
ed, have suffered a serious
loss in the death of W. U
Lenoir, who died at his resi
dence in Watauga county on
the 20th ult.. Mr. Lenoir
deserves more than a para
graphical notice. He was a
man of mark not many years
since. " He was born in the
county of Caldwell, then part
of 1 Hikes, about 09 years
ago. lie was the grandson
of General William Lenoir,
so distinguished for his ser
vices in the old Revolution
ary war, as well as for his
civil service after its close.
(Jen. Lenoit was of French
extraction: Lu Nont. Our
sketchee graduated from our
University in lSiii in a class
embracing such distinguish
ed men as Hon. R. P, Dick,
Rev. Dr. Joseph C. Huske,
J. W. . Lancaster, the late
fudge Pearson, Thomas D.
Walker, Clement G. Wright
and John L. Rridgers. "It
was a large class and Messrs
Lenoir and Huske having
taken the first honor, drew
for the valedictory, Mr.
Lenoir securing it.
Mr. Lenoir came to the bar
shortly afterwards and
whilst not possessing the
arts of the orator, he soon
achieved the reputation of
being one of the best '"judges
of the law" in the State.
Rut the practice in his sec
tion demanded "jury law
vers" and his modest nature,
-
amounting almost to the
mauvais honte, shrank from
these "mutual altercations."
He retired from the practice
and in a remote mountain
pass, devoted himself to the
more congenial pursuit of
agriculture. IHion our late
civil war broke out, he
prompfly volunteered and
Was till llliiiioWlv eierled
captain. Wlcii the war
closed he had lf ! Oil.' leg Up
on the bat Me lb-id; daring
Ihewar he w is el.-ct.-d Judge
of tic Superior Court and
"mirabile dicta," preferring
to be with "his boys" in the
field. In- declined t he appoint
ment. being the second man
in our Slate to do such an
unheard of act. U'hen the
war was over he went bac k
to his beloved farm and
lJt'llloU' from tow lis lie l .lll llis
Godly race.
Nor e'er clianp-d nor w ilicd t o
change his place.
Rut he was so loved, so
honored that the people of
Watauga insisted upon Ids
representing them in the
House of Representatives in
INK,'. The writer was a
member of the same body
and on several occasions
when other pressing duties
precluded his hearing, the
discussion of a bill, we would
on roll call, seat himself be
side Lenoir as he voted "aye"
or "no" the writer would
vote the same way feeling
confident, that whilst casting
an undigested, he had given
the right vote.
Judge Lenoir was a devot
ed and consistent member of
the Episcopal church, mod
est, unassuming, str'ctly
conscientious in all things,
possessing the highest tone,
he lived a blameless yet use
ful life an ornament to so
ciety, a refined and polished
gentleman; a ripe scholar, a
broad humanitarian. It
may be said of him as of the
village preacher
All his prospects b igh teniti to
1 lie last
His Heaven commenced ere I lie
world was past.
If any human being could
entertain a moral certainty
of sitting, after death, at the
feet of Jesus it was Walter
W. Lenoir. W. II. P.ailky.

True Democracy and secret
organizations are incompat
ible. They are as opposite as
virtue and vice. When one
enters the other must go out
or hide in shame. Democracy
is the soul of liberty; secret
organizations are the fore
runners of inquisitions and
despotisms. No secret politi
cal organization has ever su.-;
eeeded in a democracy, ex
cept to abridge the rights of
its adherents and impair the
usefulness of the organiza
tions which ha ve for their ob
jeet. the protection and pro
motion of constitutional gov
eminent and the preserva
tion of the personal liberty
of the citizen. When a man
enters a secret organization
for the purpose of controling
the political actions of his
fellows he leaves true Democ
racy behind him and violates
every principle oi popularlib
ert v.Sa llshuiy Truth.
The most delicate constitution
can safely use nr. J. ii. McLean's

rcmedey for coughs, lossof voice,

she may be reconciled toiler

that real happiness comes to
a woman only hand in hand
with love. When shebegins to

when her troth i plighted
perhaps nine women out oT
ten if asked to define tln hap
I piest hour or moment of their
! lives, would give an answer
based upon some experience
of the affection. Is it not so
my sisters? I would liVcto
hear from you. I think there
is no joy so deep, so high, so
all-prevading in a woman's
life as the joy of love. The
quest ion however is a difficult
one to answer. There are so
many different natures. That
which would be extreme hap
piness to one woman might
be only a mild delight to an
other. Some for example ha ve
a maternal instinct more
strongly developed than oth
ers, and for those the vocal
small cry of their first born
must cause an uplifting of
the heart that no other feel
ing on earth can outdo; all
in that supreme moment is
forgot ton. The ambitious wo
man must find be best hour
when she has attained the
summit, of her hopes. To the
woman standing over the
sick bed that contains the
one being dearest to her on
earth, can there bo an hour
i'. ore rife with thauklul hap
piness than when the physi
cian declares that there is
hope; hope that the adored
one will be given back to her?
Love, that "Groat Master"
has more to do with a wo
man's sweetest hour than
nay thing else on earth. To
love, and to eel ones self be
loved, that is indeed to know
the best of life. Erancis E.
Willnrd's happiest hour is the
one which is least coneious of
herself and most Uplifted in
to holy thoughts and purpo
ses, and her idea of happi
ness, is painless, constant
ond beneficent activity.
We will be willing to let our
editoi play Fatlar confessor
and find out exactly what
moment a woman is most
likely to bo extremely happy.
