WASHINGTON LETTER. llappeningg at Washington as Told by Our Kcgular CcrrcspnnJent. r,irn seiiili-ii e In Tin' Cnurii r. Wasbinsiton, May 2. 1-dist week was a bay making and a buy raking one for the democrats in the House of Kcpuaentativcs. They placed the republicans on the spit and toasted them to a rich brown. In the tlrst pluce the Hon. John Sharp Williums, the able and vigilant floor leader of I he Minority in the IIuu.'u, caught the republicans napping in tnc com mittee on.Uic judiciary, and when there was a majority of demociats nrescnt. and obtained tuvorable r' ports on both his resolutions aimed at tile MtalS 01 mis ieuoiieuu mi miiiiat ration. Due of those resoltt tious requested the Attorney (icncral to inform the Housm whether any in vestigation was ever had at his aug- irost'nn, of the o-calletl Aulliracile Coal Trust, and to send to the House all reports, papers and documents bearing on the case, l lie oilier reso lution requested the Attorney (iener al to inform the House w hether any criminal prosecutions have been in stituted by the Departnient of Jus tice against I he individuals or corpor ations who were adjudged recently by the Supreme Court of the L'nited States, in the Northern Securities case, to be utility of having violated the laws of the United States, and to tnid t the House all papers nd documents bciu ing upon any piose ctitious inaugurated or about to be inaugurated iu that behalf. These resolutions were sleeping peacefully in the pigeon hobs of the desk of I he republican chairman of the committee, and then' the repub licans intended they should sleep ulld die of inanition or be smothered to leath. They did not want them ver to see the light of day, because thev knew their recalcitrant Attor- (Jcrneral had not taken any action and would take any action in either case. When it became known that John Sharp Williams had dug I hem out of the committi-e with a favorable report, and that the com mittee on rules could not stille them account of the fact that thev now come up as priviledged matter, there was consleina.ioii on the republican -ule, and many itiick conferences Hid much wagging of headsv iLwas ill loo l.tti. The mischief was done tin! their Attorney (iencial will lie slhiwn up as a tool of the trusts and iviieant to his oath of ollice, for which be ought to be impeached. Li t the people of the country Hole nnl icjotce at a leadership on the tatic sule endoHeil with Vlgl- l.ime, br.uns and patriotism. A tiling that has attracted utiivcr il attent'oii heie this 'week among the leading democrats, is a ,-peech ide by the Hon. William Kandolph Ilearsl, of New York, before the House Committee on Judiciary, on invitation by that committee. The a.-ion was the consideration by that committee of the joint resolu tion introduced some time ago by Mr Heiust to the effect that the At torney (ieiieral of ihe United States be requested to furnish the House with all the evidence in t tie suit gainst the Coal Trust brought by- Mr Hearst many months ago, given into the keeping of the Attorney ticneral, and which has been sleep- sr ever since in the pigeon holes of ins desk, and turllier providing thai a commission of the House and Sen- te, consisting of seven members, be appointed to co through the testi mony thus turnislied nv .vir lieaisi and report in any ease had been ule out against the Coal 1 rusl, llie entire facts in the case, in order that the proper legislation might be on- ictod to the end that justice niigui be done the consuming public, the iiioper punishment administered to the Coal Trust and restraint fixed upon its future operations. Mr Hearst spoke tul un Hour, and a number of the members of the com mittee, in commenting upon the pcccli, said that it was the clearest xposition and the most lucid expla nation of anv subject that has ever come before their committee. This was cause for some little astonish ment on the part of many; uumliers of the House, who had, up to this time, believed that Mr Hearst was incap able of making a speech simply be cause he had not been on his feet listening to the sound of his voice all during this session. Thev are now beginning to take oTf their hats to bis intellectuality us well us to his (Kipularity. There was a hearing before the Post Office Committee of the House the other day that is of viuil interest to every busiuess man in the country as well as to every one else interested in the proper despatch of tho mails and increased facility for the distri bution thereof. The under consider ation wus one intended to make a specilic classilicnlioii of the railuuv postal clerk, such ( la-sliriilion not having been changed for the past tnirtytlve veats, and the present law- being unreasonable and wholly in adequate for the service. There ap peared before the oomraitte. on lie- half of the railway postal clerks, to plead their cansaMr J A Kidwell, President of the National Associa tion of Kailwav Tostul Clerks. Mr C tion of Kail ay Poatul Clerks, Mr C Shaffer, the ex-presideiit of the association, umlMrCA Young, ill number of the executive committee of the organization. Mr K id -el II made the point that this measure is a department measure and wus pre pared undo' the supervision of the department, and that the clerks were not trying to sandbag the Congress out of something to which they were not clearly entitled. The associa tion includes at least five-sixths of the men in the service, which de monstrates that the men have a grievance and hnve come together to correct it. He proved that there was no comparison between the work of a railway postal clerk and any other government employee on account of the technical knowledge necessary to ipialify for the position, the constant danger to life, long continuous hours of work, and the strain on the nerv ous system. Thero is no compari son between the work performed by the other men on a passenger train and the raiway postal clerk either in tellectually or in any oilier, yet he showed that a conductor gets from$15 to $40 it month more than the high est salary in the railway mail service. He proved that the danger to the postal clerk is greater than to any other man on tins train by the testi mony of the men who work on the train with mm, to the cruet that they won 1.1 not ride with him when they could avoid it, and they all ad mitted that the postal clerk ran the greater risk. The railway postal clerk has no time of his own, is al ways on call for duty, and yet he gets no pay for overtime regardless of the fact that every postal clerk renders days and even weeks of over-time each year. He is compelled to do this in order to distribute-mails in depots delayed on account of insuf ficient service to distribute mail en route. He claimed and proved that if this classification bill is passed, the I ef or ins which it would bring would give the men a fixed and a permanent salary not in excess of what thev earn, imt it would change other conditions iu regard to the handling of mail and be of distinct benefit to the public as it would pro vide a force suflicient to properly handle the mail and thus prevent de lay. Mr. Kidwell also showed that the railway postal clerks departnient of the Post Odiee Pepartnient was the only one that has absolutely escaped invest igatiun in all this satunalia ot laft that has rampant in the I'osl Ollice Mepartment. Mr. SclialTer was the next speaker at the hearing, and he showed that the railway postal clerk was not to be compared to the department clerk it her in salaiy or in Ilk allowance of time for holidays or sick leave. And that the railway postal clerk works 1,141 hours, or Hi:) days, more in a year than does the department clerk. Mr. Young, the next speaker. showed that the present salaries were the same as they were ten tars ago, and that the cost of living had ma terially increased since that time, and that was why they were asking for justice. 1 write this because the case of these poor railway mail clerks has merit in it, and they deserve some considciution at the hands of Con- nnd have not received it from the republican parly. If they all were to ipnt tomorrow, the entire mail service of the country would be demoral i zed. Thev are the heart t hat pumps the blood of the entire ser vice. CllARI.ES A. KllWAKIlS..

While returning from Lexington to Silver Hill township Saturday afternoon, Mr Peter S. Kickard re ceived injuries by a horse falling on him that may make him a cripple for life. Mr Kickard was crossing the bridge at Finch's lower mill over Abbott's creek when his horse got one of it's feet fastened in a plank. Mr Kickard jumped from his wagon to assist the animal, which was struggling violently.

Reasons Why the Iredell County Citizen Should be Nominated by the nmo crats- To the Editor of The CoritlKH. The press of North Carolina is the most potent vehicle of public en lightenment: without its aid the peo ple would he unacquainted with pub lic questions, und would be unable to settle them 111 a mnniicr conducive to the public good. Advocacy of the claims ot man public ollice, throng! the press, is therefore, not only legiti mate and right, but is necessary. Iu using the press for this necessary and proper purpose, one should be careful not to overstep the bounds of propriety, und to confine himself within tlie limits of truth. The people have moie intelligence thun the average politician creuits them with, and uny article advocating the claims of a candidate, which claims more for him than he is justly en titled to, is sure to do him more harm than good. In every contest both in actual war and 111 the mimic wars of politics, we hear much of the great deeds of the great leaders and but little of the deeds of the men that do the work without whose efforts the leaders would be unknown. Who won the battle of Waterloo? Was it Wellington, whese jdans went all aw ry, or was it the 30,000 stub born Englishmen in the ranks who, though beaten, would not yield? Who curried the starry cross of the Confederacy to victory on more than 100 battlcticlds.

Having tin -so axioms ot truth in mind, it is my purpose to propose the name of a man for Governor, w ho, I hough he has developed into u fe and brave leader, vet he served his apprenticeship as a private in the ranks. He has show n by his life's work that those who would, learn to lead must first know how to serve. He has been conspicuous for his absence when tin- homu'S and emolu ments of bis purl v bolli State and Federal were to be divided, but he was always at tin-front when work was to be done, or blows to be struck aganisl the common em-mv. 11 is name is Wilfred Dent Turner, and he lives ill Iredell. What kind of a man do we need for Governor? He is the chief exe cutive ollicer ot u great Uotnmon- wealth. lie is directly responsible for the management of all the Stale institutions, the penitentiary, the hospitals for the insane, the University, the common schools of the Slab-, Ihe Slates property mter- ts and two great railroads, ami to ire for the welfare of two million iple engaged ill agi iculliire, manu facturing ami all the various trades and professions. He ought to 'oc a ivisc man, an Inmost, firm and a just nan. He ought to be able to treat all classes of our citizens with fair ness and vv ith justice, lleoughtnot be the representative of any par ticular class or special interests, but bould have tie interests of the whole people nt In-art. 1 his would be tlie ideal Governor. Liotit-Gov. Punier has demonstrated his titness for the high ollice. He has dis charged the duties of Lieutenant Governor for throe years with wis dom, moderation and with absolute and transparent honesty. Jobbery has not, and cannot flourish under his admistration. lie is a wisecoun- Hurt a vigorous aggressive in the defence of right, igilant and con scientious in the discharge of duty, mid would give tho State exactly w hat it wants and needs u clean business administration, conserva tive, but. at the Mine time, aggres sive on all right iiins. I do not claim that he lias done it all for the past 30 years. I do not claim that he has ""saved the State" or secured "the adoption of the con slitutional amendment," but I do claim that for 30 years he has fought at the front the battle for good gov ernment iu North Cu'-olina ut the expense of bis own pocket, and has done as effective work for bis State and party as any other man. ivside from this, lie is one of the people. He knows their wants and needs, w ith their every aspiration and he is acquainted und for everything that enters into their moral, intellec tual and finaiici.il development he would be a w ise, alert lind aggressive champion. There might not be so manv frills about the Governor's Mansion as some of the "very few ,,1,. wish for. but eturdy strength, 10ii,.Kt effort and patriotic devotion to dutv would be there. So here's to Governor Turner, the man who never turned his back on friend or foe. whose word ;s as goml as his bond, and who. us Governor, would iill the chair made glorious bv such men as Vance and Jurvis, .Scales and i Holt, and others of his illustrious pnd. i-essi.rs.
