WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our Eegular Correspondent
For the Democra t'
Boss Quay is again in su
preme command of the ma
jority of the Senate. 'He was
lenient towards Senators
Hoar, Spooner and the rest
of his opponents letting them
down easy by allowing them
to report a new resolution in
place of the one offered by
him. But it : amounts to pre
cisely the same thing as if his
resolution had been adopted.
The tariff bill is to be voted
upon during the first week or
ten days of September, and
as a special sop to the radi
cal element the most of the
republican Senators have
signed an agreement to vote
for the consideration of the
Force bill in December next.
This does not mean that all
of the republican Senators
will vote for that atrocious
measure, for a number of
them have stated that while
they were willing to vote to
ha ve th bill considered they
proposed voting against it.
The radical element hopes to
gain four, votes for it from
the new Senators from Idaho
and Wyoming.
Senator Gorman was ask
ed what the democrats pro
posed doing in regard to the
tariff bill. He said: "No
agreement has been reached
as to the close of debate up
on the tariff bill. When
there has been a sufficient, if
not a thorough satisf ictory
discussion of the bill, the
democi nts w ill agree, in ac
cordance with t lie custom of
tin Semite, to taken vo.eup
on it. The question has al
ready bvn under considera
tion, but no conclusion has
been leached. The proposi
tion for a closure must come
from the republicans. None
has yet been received. When
it comes we shall decide
whether it is sat isfactory, if
not we shall make a counter
proposition." Senator Gor
man intimated that in two
weeks moru the democrats,
having shown the most strik
ing inconsistencies of thebill,
would bejerfeetly willing to
have the republicans pass it,
and let the voters of the
country, at the Congression
al elections, decide which par
ty was in the right.
Senator Carlisle presented
an argument which no repub
lican Senator could answer
when he showed by price lists
and actual bills of sale that
certain American manufac
tures, who were given an in
crease of duty upon products
similiarto those manufact
ured by them upon their plea
that they are necessary to
prevent their being driven
out of business by foreign
competitors, are selling
their manufactures in foreign
countries much cheaper in
some cases 33 and 0 per
cent less than they sell the
same articlein the U. S. Mr.
Carlisle said he thought, and
and the consumers will un
doubtedly think with him,
that if these manufactures
could afford under the pres
ent tariff to send their goods
to foreign countries to com
pete with foreign manufact
urers of the same articles,
and sell them for less than
they did at home, that it
would be manifestly unjust
to the home buyers to raise
the duty in order to allow
these manufacturers to make
their American customers
pay a still higher price. No
republican attempted to
ma ke a specific answer to Mr
Carlisles argument it cant
be answered. "Protection"
is the humbug of the age.
If, in the face of the ac
knowledgement of the Com
missioner of Pensions that
he borrowed $12,000 on
notes endorsed by George E.
Lemon, the king of the Wash
ington pension attornies, the
republicans of the committee
investigating Representative
Coopers charges against
Raum decide to white-wash
that official they will prove
them selves to be possessed
of an unsual amount of 'gall'
even for Reed's henchmen.
When this charge was first
made, and before investiga
tion was ordered, Mr. Raum
and his friends repeatedly
stated that Lemon had nev
er endorsed his notes. Find
ing that Mr. Cooper had ab
solute proof of the transac
tion he now boldly admits it
and yet attempts to deny
that he has favored Lemon
by advancing his business in
the Pension office. Lemon
did not endorse those notes
for nothing, and if he had
not taken himself to Europe
to escape testifying, Mr.
Cooper would have made
that fact even Hearer than it ;
is now. The commit ici
which took a recess to (!.!
first of S"pte:nber, has, by J
its rulings (voted against by;
the dcinocoatic members);
made it almost impossible j
for Mr. Coojter to prove t he i
other charges, but what is
admitted should be enough!
to make a vacancy in the
head of the Pension office.
Speaker Reed could stand
the pressure no longer, and
on Saturday ho agreed that
Thursday and Saturday of
this week should be devoted
to the consideration of meas
ures reported from the com
mittee on Labor, and the
House so ordered. He heard
from some of the labor or
ganizations in his district.
The late .Senator Reck was
eulogised in the Senate on
Saturday. Senators Car
lisle, Rlackburn, Vest, Ingalls
and Allison paid glowing
tributes to the memory of
the deceased statesman.
The bill for Government
inspection of meats for ex

Washington, Aug. 27. The
buldozing rules adopted' by
the republicans and enforced
by the Speaker had their fit
ting and necessary outcome
to-day in a scene of the most
beastly disorder ever known
in the American Congress.
While a filibustering protect
against a partisan and in
consistent ruling of the Spea
ker was going on. Camion,
the republican floor leader, in
suited a democrat, Mr. McA
doo, in obocene language. At
the demand of another demo
crat the words were taken
do -,mi and while the House
was having its hands full
with this matter, two repub
licans in private conversa
tion got into a, fist fight on
the floor and a third republi
can in interfering was struck
for his peace-making. For
several minutss it seemed
that the republican party
had forgotten the democrats
and the public at large, and
were going to rend each oth
er to pieces. It was fully fif
teen minutes before any sem
blance of order was restored.
Reed was utterly powerless.
The . contestants were Messrs.
Beckwith, of New J?rsiy,and
Wilson, of Washington, and
such choice billingsgate as
can not be even indicated in
a family paper was hurled at
eachother's heads. Just be
for ? this embroglio a person
al encounter between Cannon
and ally Mason came near
taking placein front of the
Speaker's desk. The air was
lurid for awhile.
All this turmoil is the di
rect result of despotic rule in
general, and especially the ef
fort to force the so-called
pure lard bill contrary to the
order taken by the 1Ioum. it-
S! if.
Thi.4 "so-called pari' lard
bill" is one to tax cotton
seed nil, which i-; coming lar
gely into use as a substitute
for hog'slard. Southern mem
bers are opposing tin- bill be
cause it is a discrimination a
gainst a peculiarly Southern
product in favor of the hog
raisers, pork-packers and
lard makers of the West.

E Hi or I)t'iu)ri';it:
The soldier's reunion at
Blowing Ruck was not what
we hoped it might be, yet
the old veterans had quite a
social timehandshaking, Cell
ing war reminis'-ences and
hearing the grand and patr i
otic speeches in praise and
honor of the heroes of the
Lo.st Cause.
The brave and chivalrous
sons of our fair South-land
won honor and fame in the
late pratricidal civil wnrthat
is immortal, and will never,
never die, while men live on
this mundane sphere. Our
dead heroes are embalmed in
the hearts and memories of
our countrymen and their
surviving fellow-soldiers. Our
surviving veferans aie living
monuments of patriotic hero
ism not surpassed, if equaled
by ancient or modern sol
diery. The heroes of a ucient
Greece, Rome and Carthage,
ah, even Leonidas and his
three hundred martyrs sacri
ficed at the Pass of Thermop
yl.Ejw ill not surpass or eel ipse
the heroism of our brave
boys in grey.
Our country has arrived at
a period of time in its histo
ry, fraught wiUi vital results
for weal or woe. There is a
great question before the A
rneriean people for their dis
cussion and decision. The
gist of this question is sim
ply this: Will a majority of
our countrymen endorse the
present administration, its
policy, -its legislation, its false
promises, its oppression, its
suppression of States rights
and personal liberties. Its
reckles and wasteful expendi
ture of the public, money; all
of which is rapidly drifting
our beloved country 'into a
centralized despotism. For
proof of the above chnges 1
refer your readers to the
promises, the pledges of the
republican platform, to mod
ify the internal revenue sys
tem of taxation; to pass the
flair educational bill; the
free coinage of silver, and to
reduce the tariff. 1 leave it
to all intelligent and unpreju
diced voters to say how far
they have carried out their
pledges and promises. Asto
oppression and suppression,
look at Speaker Reed's ty ran
ical ruling and the Lodge
force bill.
Now are our people prepar
ed to accept and endorse this
administration with all its
failures and extravagant, ty
ranical and oppressive legis
lation? Surely not. If not,
where is the remedy, where is
our deliverance? I answer
in the true manhood, in the
patriotism, in the love of lib
erty and theequal rights of
our countrymen, where is the
party organization that can
dc!icrn- from or.r present
evil rulers?
Th" an-wer to this j y
i .sim;!y this. Tl -' h m oid.-;
of the farmers :lliar:.e and
the pr i nci pies nf the democrat
ic party being synoiiimous,
they are the party, the ortra
ni.ation to redeem our coun
try ami our eopln from this
horrible pit of corruption
and oppression, and place it
on its original foundation of
equal rights to all clashes of
our people, as establish",) by
our four-fathers and placed
in Ihe temple of liberty.
In conclusion, I appeal to
my countrymen of both,
and all political parties,
to careful(.v study the his
tory of our country anl its
progress under the difierent
administrations, and come
to the rescue. Now in a kind
and friendly spirit I ask my
republican friends if they can
conscienciously endorse and
support the demonitizing of
silver, the Lodge, or Federal
election bill that probably
will be passed and become a
law on ourstatutes? At the
next election when we as fnv
men go to cast our ballots,
Ut this be our motto. Equal
rights to all, and special fa
vors to none, to which let u..
say, Amen. R. V. W.

Lies cut, bias and lies cut di

Lies complimentary and lies
defamatory. Lies thatsome

all the people believe, and
lies that nobody believes.
