I , Ma-nark ana oroand red Haas on i WASHINGTON LETTER. From our Regular Correspondent Senator Hill Htated the li minrinl tsituation in a nut shell when he said of the Prwident's last special nies sajjer . "It unloads the re sponsibility on Congress." President Clcvelaud alter reeks' of negotiation 20uld do no better than to er, an offer of Ko'd to be paid for in thiry-tyeur 4 pr cnt coin bonds, nt a price which mak es th1 bonds carry interest tit ratf of 3 and 3-4 ptr cent, ulthouKhthe same men. ex- ; prehsfd a willingness to fur i ninh jrold for an unlioiited a- inount of 3 pfr cent gold londs; The President had his offer more than tt week igo, nut ne neid it in abe.v- ime until the Honte detect ed the bill providing for 3 per cent cold bonds. Then he accepted the' offer to the a mount ot a.ouu.uuu ounees f standard gold coin, which will requrt the 'ssuitiir, of within a fraction of $72,400, 000 in bonds, with a proviso that the cold should oe paid for at the same price with 3 percent cold bonds, if Con- cress would within ten days authorize their issue. The Preniient then in a special message laid the tacts befort Congress, laying particular HtveHS upon the $16,000,000 which represents the differ ence in the interest that would have to be paid on 3 per cent bonds ynd that which will have to be paid on the3aud 3 4 per cent coin ttonds, and leaving it lor Congres to decide which it shall be. Chairman Wilson, of the House Ways and Means com mittee, who is in charge of the bill providing for the .is sue of 3 per cent gold bonds, is working with his usual en ergy to get the bill before the House although he knows as wtll as any man that it wil not have one chance out of a possible hundred to pans the House, even if favorably re ported from the committee. but he fully acrees with the President in desiring to put the House on record on this matter of saving $16,000, 000. He holds with the Pres ident that the question of whether a man favors or op poses bonds does not eater into the question now. That has been settled and the bonds are to be issued und 'r a law for which this Congress is not responsible. The only question at issue, according to tie President's opinion, is whether $16,000,000 sha be saved or not. The silver men claim that the authoii zation of a gold bond by Con gress will be equivalent to nn official endorsement of the single gold standard, and that claim is what will pre vent many democrats voting for the bill, if it gets before the House. Whether Congress acts or refuses to act it is generally believed that the present bond issue will haye the e, feH of greatly lessening the probability of an extra ses sion of Congress. The Presi dent and SecretaJy Carlisle or these bonds from abroad will be highly beneficial to he Treasury and no further bond issues will beuecessoiy, unless there shall be some un expected turn of affairs. The Senate adopted the a- mendment'' to the consular and diplomatic bill appro priating $500,000 to start he work of laying a cable to Hawaii and authorizing the resident to contract for the entire work. With the ex ception of Senators Butler, all, Gorman, Hill and Mor gan all of the democrats pre ent voted against the i mend nient. ' Senator Gorman's inquiry iis to wnat authority ttie a .a . .a Senate had for going into a State and investigating the election Df a Governor and a egislature was prompted by Senator Call's resolution for an investigation of the part thut the Louisiana and Hon duras Lottery Company plaj edin the last Florida Sf.ate election, but it is equally ap plicable to other resolutions proposing investigations of State elections. And Sena- toi Gormait'ssratementthnt the people of Maryland had a way, when crooked uess ex isted or was suspected, of righting the matter for them selves without appealing to Congress, was suggestive. It is not at all probable that any resolution providing for the investigation of a State election by a Senate commit tee will be adopted, and it is a niattei for regret that any democrat should vote for such a resolution under any circumstances. The demo ciatic party has always main tamed that State authority was supreme in State elec tions, and the party has in variably suffered when at tempts have been made to abandon piinciples as old as the party itself. It was the old undying principles which kept the paity alive through year of defeat, and it is upon them that the party must depend for future success. feenator V Has succeeded in getting nn amendment to the Sundry Civil Appropriation bill, authorizing the Presi dent to appoint a commis sion to confer with a like body representing Great Brit am and tanada as to tne e s .a feasibility of a series of can als between the great lakes and the Atlantic onean with a depth sufficient to nceomo date ocean going vessels.

Briritol Courier. iiecanse of the grent power of money mer look forward to a fortune as the one thing needful to n same per pet ual happiness. But it is here hey ate mistaken. Money of itself can make no one hap pv.for.ns regards htippiness, money has been weighed in the balance and found want ing. Along with fortune come cares and anxieties that sometimes swamp nnd make their victims most unhappy. .'erhaps more genuine hap iness and piece of mind are o be found among the poor lesses, among men who toil rom day today without fear of losing anything. Certain v they are the most heroic in storm and trial, and sel dom despair, even though the wolf of want confront them with wide-open jaws. They have been hardened against disappointments, or rather, laving never tasted the lux uries of life,' are not disap pointed by beincr without them. It is different with the man who falis in with" the tide which serves the few, and irifts to an easy fortune. He is still in a-state of unrest, and ns eager to gain more as if he had been reduced to the last dollar ami to climb again appealed to him as on actual necessity. His mind becomes overtaxed w 1 1 h looking backward and for ward at the same time. He is unhappy lest he lose what he has already acquired. He a . a is worried les'j nm mvesr- ments fail to bring him rich returns. And so it is thai he struggles between hope and fear as long as he lives; ana failing health may set in to push the work of death to a hasty finish. There are more sad endings, more suicides, among men who have luxu ries of wealth than in any other class. They know what it is to have the best of everything, and a little of the worst is too much for then.. To endure hardships, wheth er it be sickness or merely mental worry, it is to make slaves cf them, and money will not buy a release. They become tired of life whose hardships money will not con auer. and would rut tier die than live. The tragic death a of Col. Miller, the Louisville millionaire, who thew him self under a moving tram at Asheville. N. C, Saturday, is an example, " He had all that the world could offer, but it did not satisfy. With all the advantages he had in life, something drove him mad. By his own violation, and in the face of high dis tinction among men. he cut the slender cord that bound hi Si to his life and its affairs, and started on a mystic voy age, perhaps without hope of peaceful anchorage 1 The example ought to be a lesson to eyery man whose absorbing ambition is to giin wealth. Wealth makes more of its possessors enhap py than it manes happy. It is to have a curse net out of gain, and hard indeed for . man. with man s avaricious blessings. The process calls for traits unknown to the in dividual whose 'only ambi tion is to grasp the whole world in his own hands and hold it there 1 NegrolEmplojcs ia the State Senate. Replying to Dr. I. B. Alex ander; a leading Populist of Mecklenburg who had sought to defend the fusionists for electing a negro assistant door-keeper in the Legisla ture over a one-legged. ex- Confederate poldier, Mr W. (J. Dowd. the Democratic member of the rerin te , from Mecklenburg, says: '. 'Yon ask me if my pnrtv has not had negro assistant doorkeepers in the last ,20 years, etc. 1 have mude dili gent inquiry into this mat ter and answer most empliat ially, No. "Mow, good ttoctor, come with inea minute. Before started home last Saturday, being a poor man, I needed Borne money. I went into the office of the chief clerk of the Senate, who is a Popu list, to get an order lor my salary. What do you sup pose I saw? His bookkeeper, n fat and sleek negro weigh- ing about 200 pounds, sit ting side by side at a desk with the other clerks. Is this all? No. I imagine 1 see you pulling back, doctor, but come on. As 1 left the clerk's office and re-entered the Sen ate chamber, there lay a dud isli yellow negro stretched at full length upon a lounge placed there for the use ol Senators, uon t leave me yet, doctor. I went a few steps further and there in the Senate library sat five of these dusky gentlemen, of all Khados, including yellow, black, and tan. They had their feet cocked on the book oases, or reclined in comiorr a e able chairs, chatting and having a general good time These are all employes of the Senate, put. there by your party. IsthisTheway they keep their promises of econ omy and reform? What do yon think about it, doctor?' When in Washington lust fall, Her.ry Watterson, mak ing a good-fellow table speech, said : "After the pres Bent campaign f am going to quit politics and seek the peace and quiet of retiremen from public life. 1 know of a Hecluded spot in Kentucky where on the one side of limpid stream a bed of mint julip grows in fragrant luxn riance and on the other side the distillery flourisheth shall hie me thi'licr, with the finest drink mixer in Ken tucky fi r my private Secre tary, and, lyin upon the frag rant bed of mint, I ahal watch the white clouds soar ing; in the blue sky and hai the distillery people frequent ly.M A Georgian who ha just arrived at the banquet and heard the colonel's de scription, without knowing of what he was speaking, cried out: 'Speaking Paradise, colonel ?" of . ..... ...

This is giving the tur ey tc the bond holders and he buzzard to the oppon ents of boud issues and the-' single gold standard. "Perhaps you would not hink so, but a very large iroportionoi diseases in New York coine from carelessness about catching' cold," says Dr. rwrus Ldson. "It is such a simple thing and so com mon that very few people, un ess it is a case ot pneumonia, my any attention to a cold. New York is one ot the heal thiest places on the.
