WASHINGTON LETTER.
Prom oar Segular Correspondent
Hon J. D. 'Kichnrdson, of
Tt'iinpssee, who p-cviyed thf
drrnocrHtie- nomination for
typHker, nftPi- ono of th Itm-'st'i-nncnKfta
pver lir-ld, pot
fbe vote of evprv '(lHinoMatir
member of the House today.
He wnsnot, of coursf, elected;
th ivpullicin hayini? the
moat votes, elected Bepresen
tative Henderson Speaker,
nnd adopted the old Reed
ruler?, but Mr. Richardson
will be tbe democratic fioor-leadf-r
of the House during
the life ot the Fifty-Sixty Con
Kress, There may be more
nhowv nnd brilliant men on
the democratic side of the
House, but that he will make
a shrewd nnd safe leader in
conceded by all. Hmshrewd
nes would have been shown
by the manner in which he
conducted his campaitrn for
the nomination of Speaker,
had it not been well estab
lished long ago. He recei red
no warmer congratulations
on his sucess than those ex
tended by his three rivals
forthehonor.
Leaving Roberts and his
polygamy entirely out of the
question, the position taken
by the democrats in the first
scrap of the session, which
occurred when objection was
raised to the sweariiig iri of
Roberts.-that the House had
no right to go behind the of
ficial returns an. deny a man
a sent when he presents prop
er crndentials, was right but
right can't win when a ma
jority is determiner, to do the
other thing, If Roberts can
not clear himself of the
charge of having violated
the law, there will be few if
any, objections on the dem
ocratic side, to his being de
nied a seat, but it is wrong to
declare him guilty before his
case is fairly investigated.
. Mr. McKinley's long mes
sage, one of the longest ever
sent to Congress-was not
sent in today, owing to the
early adjournment of both
Senate and House as a mark
of respect to the late Vice
President Hobart. It will
go in tomorrow, and thon
the real business of the sea
sion of Congress wdl begin.
The democrats were never in
a more aggressive mood, and
"hot times" are ahead for
the republican majority in
both Senate and House.
The attention of Senators
is being called to the fact
that Gov. Stone had no con
stitutional right to appoint
Mr. Quay to the Senate, af
ter the legislatnreadjourned,
without electing his sneceps
or. The State Constitution
of Penn., expresslv provides
that vacancies in the U. S.
Senate shall only be filled by
the Legislature. A number
of influential Pennsylvanians
are in Washington, working
against the seating of Quay
on personal grounds, against
both precedent and law. One
o f these reppresentatives.
Sowden, who said on the sub
ject: "The question Bhould
not be made a partisan one,
but each Senator, regardless
of his politics or his personal
friendship for Mr. Qua y,
should vote asconscientious,
impartial, and upright judge
and decide it according to its
merits and the dictates of hia
own .conscience, under his of
ficial oath. If this be done,
there can be no question of
the result. Gov, Stone'n un
la wml appointment has not
a single n.erit to support it."
That our pension laws are
in need of revision, every
body knows, but when they
will get.it. or whether the re
vision will make them better
or wore, is a horse of anol h
er color. The Secretary nnd
Assistant Secretary of the In
terior. and the Commission
er and Assistant Commission
er of Pensions, have testified
before a sub-committee, of
the Senate committee on pen
sions, that a revision of the
laws fdiould be made, and re
commending thai it be done
by a non partisan commis
sion, A National Commis
sion that is really non parti
san, would bea rarity indeed,
although there are many so
called. Representative Smith, of
Ky., who. was recently acting
Chairman of the JKentucky
Democratic State Committee
thinks the legal contest ia
that State, depends upon the
view the court of appeals
takes of, tissue ballots. He is
of the opinion that those
ballots were illega', a u d
knows that they were used
extensively:in the republican
border counties, to make
sure that the "floaters" vo
ted as they were paid to vote.
He'says if the tissue ballots
are thrown out us illegal Goe
bel will have a plurality of
from 2,000 to 10,000. Mr.
Saiith says he doesn't believe
there will be any trouble in
the State, no matter what
th final decision may be.
Mr. Mckinley is in n some
what disagreeable predic
ament, by reason of tin
desire to push his friend, and
old-family physician, Gen.
Leonard Wood, ahead in the
regular army. He told Gen.
Wood, some months ago,
that he intended making him
a Brigadier General in the
Regular Army, and it leaked
out. There was a flood of
protest from the friends of
the line officers-many of them
influential republicans who
obiected t o ha1 ving them
jumped by a staff surgeon,
with the rank of Captain.
Mr. McKinley then tried to
satisfy (Jen. Wood with some
thing else, but he wouldn't
have it that way preferring
to stand pat on the original
promise. This was the prin
cipal reason for Gen. Wood
being ordered to Washington
at this time, and not the
withdrawal of troops from
his District in Cuba, as an
nounced. My eon has been troubled
for years with chronic diar
rhoea. Sometime ago I per
suaded him to tikn some nt
Chaiuberlaiu's Colic, Cholera
aud Diarrhoea Remedy. Alter
using two bottles of the 25
cent size he was cured. I give
this testimonial, hopingthat
some oue similarly afflicted
may read it nnd be benefit

Why did the Boers migrate
to t hei r pYesen t a bid i ng plact?
Because they abandoned
their former holding for the
sake of being farther away
from th English.
Were the English undesira-,
ble neighbors?
It seems a safe inference
when a whole nation gives up
its homes aud moved away.
Why did theEnglish follow
them up?
Because gold and diamonds
were discovered in'their new
territory.
What was Jameson's raid?
An attempt by the English
to possess themselves of this
uew land.
Ry fair tnans or foul?

Then are Jameson and his

Yes.
Then the raid was in open

What led up to the present
