WASHINGTON (LETTER.
Frefa our Regular Correspondent.
!
The United States Seriate has been
credited with never jdoing anything
hastily, but, unless thcjse usually well
informed'are entirely jrrong, there has
been a lightning change in the senti
ment of qute a nuntberof senators
toward the treaty for. the annexation
of Hawaii. Ten days; ago the oppos
ition to the ratification of the treaty
appeared to be insignificant, to-day it
is regarded as having sufficient strength
to have "hung up" th treaty for this
session. It requires tyo-thircU of the
senate to ratify, and many believe that
it would beJmposstbsfe if a vote was
taken to get even a majority in favor
of ratification. Politics have appar
ently nothing to do with thet ppos
itiou, although with the exception of
Senator Morgan, of Alabama, who is
one of the Behnng sea arbitrators and
who consequently had to leaveor
Europe before the matter was settled,
no democrat is strongly in faror t f
immediate action on the treaty. Sen
ator Ailison, of lonra, heads the re
publican opposition, which includes
some of those senators popularly known
as anti-Harrison men. Only a small
fraction of the opposition is based upon
dislike to annexation; the most of it
appears to come from those who be
lieve that it will be better to go a little
slow in this matter, now that it is in
such a shape that there is little danger
of a. foreign country pickiuy up
Hawaii. It therefore is doubtful
whether the treaty will be acted on at
this session.
The populists reprtsentatives are
rigiit in the light made in the.House
against the She. man amendment to
the Sundry Civil bill authorizing the
secretary of the treasury to issue
$50,000,000 in a pr cent goid bonds,
to which they and many of the silver
men are unalterably opposed. I he
greatest interest is centered in this
light, because, if there is no comprom-
ise or taei:u own on either side it is
bound to result in the failure of the
Sundry Civil hill, and consequently an
early extra season ot congress, the re
sult of which no man is in a position
fo predict with even the remotest de
gree of certainty.
A good bit of misinformation,"
said a citizen of Atlanta, Ga., at pres
ent in Washington, "has been given
the country concerning my fellow
tewjisiuaii, Hoke Smith. He is con
stantly referred io ws an eJiior. He is I
no more an editor than he is a printer!
or a-blacksmith. Me is krst a lawyer
aud next a politician. Several years
ago he became t tie owner of the plant
ot an unsuccessful daily paper, which,
by a liber al expenditure of salaries to
men possessed of the know-how faculty
has been placed upon a self sustaining
basis. His only connection with the
paper has been that of financial back
er, an 1 I am quote sure he never wrote
a paragraph for it, although he has, of
course, dictated its general political
policy. Smith is a delightful fellow to
meet and will, I think, become very
popular in Washington."
It is not often that an office holder
declines a proffered pronation which
carries an increase of salary and high
honor, but that is just what Assistant
Secretary Wharton, now acting secie-j
ta--v ot slate, has done. President'
H irri-on was willing to nominate Mr.
Wharton to the v.cauey made by the
resignation of Secretary of State Fos
ter, who has gone to Paris to tke
charge of the case of the United States
before the lieiiring ea arbitration tri
bunal, but Mr. Wiiartou said no. His
action is uot remarkable, however, un
der the circumstances. If he became (
secretary of state he would be out of j
oflice tlie moment that Judge (jcresham
qualified, whereas he may continue to
be assistant secretary for a long time
to come, as no precipitate changes arn
ever ni ule in the department otv -tate.
A great head has brother Wharton; he
considers a $5,000 salary preferable
to the empty honor of ex-secretary.
Many of the prominent populists
who attended the meeting of the bi
metallic league and of the reform
press associat ion, held here last week,
are still in Waslungtou, and some of
them will remain tothe inauguration,
getting pointers for 1897, when Gen.
Weaver says they expect to inaugurate
a populist President.
President Harrison has Issued a

confirmation pro
bable, has entirely
died out, and it is now ceitam that no
objection will be made to the confirma
tion of his nomination.
The usual exciting ruh and general
hurly-burlv- of the closing h.mrof
congress has begun. It is now the
season of shady congressional jobs,
aud tlie corridors of the capitol are full
of anxious men, and there are women
also i lit rested in that little bill,
which thev persistently press upon the
attention of congressmen at every op
portun.tv. The great majority of
these people are 4 omed to disappoints
meat and, although it seems almost
cruet to sav it, few. of them deserve
anything
else.
Employer aad Employe.
Why is it that we find so many
men out of employment and why i it
that some find it so difficult to retain
a position when ouce secured? The
reasons are many.
In the first instance there is not suf
ficent employment for the unem
ployed, and we are not overlool ing the
fact that a great portion of tiie idle
class are so from preference.
In the. second case, which is very
important, and deserving the most
careful consideration, the employe is
most often at fault It is strictly the
duty ot the salaried person to take the
same int rest in the business in which
he is engaged as though it was his
owu, and not be afraid that he will do
a little more than the amount of his
wanes.
We once knew a cotton mill super
intendent who seemed to have an easy
time of it. A woolen mill-superintendent
who envied him his position
asked him what was the most difficult
tiling about cotton mill superintend
ing, when hednly answered, "Getting
the position."
From our observation we should
say that keeping a position after it was
obtained was the moat difficult part of
the undertaking. Few peopltr deliver
in the shape of service what they bar
gained to deliver hence we see good
men secure good positions and keep
them for a year or two and lose them.
They wer not discharged and they d.d
not leave. "Big heads is sometimes
the cause; big head seldom gives one
dollar's worth tor one dollar, hence dis
satisfaction follows; big head gets so
important that he thinks time tables
were not made for him. In fact, he
sometimes gets more important than
his employer; when he gets to this
stage he is ripe, and should quit and
get a position as an oil drummer.
There is another class of men who
are smart enough, but they have al
ways some business outside of the mill
to attend to. In fact, they are trying
to serve two masters equally well, and
110 one has yet sncceeued iuioing it.
Theresultis, thetime table is neglected
uud pay day looked for as it' it was the
most important thing in life, all of
which is noticed by the emp.oyer, and
the employe is put in the balance and
found wanting, and a chauge of posi
tion is the result, briuging a loss to
both parties.
A great many good men lose posi
tions because they do not give a dol
lar's worth for a dollar. This may
come about in niaoy different ways,
but no matier what the cause em
ployer and employe suffer alike both
in mind and finances, and there is a
breaking up of homes and changes to
new localities, all of which could be
avoided by a proper understanding of
what constitutes thine and mine.

The Eight Kiud of itelfjion.
In a recent lecture on "The Power
of tlie Holy Ghost," Mr. Moody said :
"When the Holv Ghost is working
in a man and through him then comes
the conviction. A great many Chris
tians want forgiveness for their sins,
but are not willing to forgive their
neighbors. I'M tell you right here, that
if your religionisu't strong enough to
make you forgive a man, you've got a
counterfeit and not the real Holy
Ghost religion, and that's all there is
about it. But if your heart is filled
with love for your fellows you can get
a lot in tlieiu. You won't go around
backbiting yonrneighbors and swin
dling people. You won't work off an
old lame horse on a man for a sound
ix year old. When Christ comes he
gives you liberty. Do any of you
preacher- know what it is to preach
without liberty? You know what it
is to have a grum'ding, critieiing,
backbiting, f.iult-findiug congregation.
And, do you know, h great many
preachers are fond of this sort of work.
Almost every preacher who can't
preach go?s to writing editorial in
religious p ipers. telling other preach
ers how they ought to preach. What
would the "day of Penticost have
amounted to it James had said to
John: kI tell you what it is, John, I
don't think Peter is up to the mark to
day? He isn't fas logical as he might
be, and his delivery isn't very good.
An 1 here he's got the m st infl ieniial
congregation he ever had in his lite.' "

Literary Relic of the Confederacy.
The Winston Sentinel has leen
shown by "Cheup John" Beard a
pamphlet containing 212 pages, en
titled "Scriotural Views of National
Trials, or tlie Tru Road to the-inde-pendence

States of America." The work was
written by the late Rev. C. H. Wiley,
D. D., in lStW, who was at that time
state superintendent of public schools.
The pamphlet was printed by Sterling,
Campbell & Albright, of Greensboro.
On the inside of 'the cover page is

One of Dcpew s Political Stories.
One of Chauncey M.Depew's polit
ical etories is s follows: Tlie teacher
of the district school up at Peekhiil
called up the time brightest boys in
his class one day aud sa:d:
"Tom, you are a republican?" "Yes,
sir.
"And Jim, you are a prohibitionist?"
"Yes, sir."
"And Sam, you are a democrat?"
"Yes, sir."
"Well. now. the one of you that can
give me the K best reason why he be
longs to his party can have this wood
ctiuck I caught on my way to school
this morning.' Now, Tom, why are
you a republican?" "I am a repub
lican," said the boy, "because the re
publican party saved the country in
the war, abolished slavery and brought
about the resumption of specie pay
ments and has done everything for the
gaud of the country."
"That's very good," sail the teacher.
"I am a-prohibitionist," said the pro
hibition 1)0 glibly, because-rum is till
ing the j iils and filling tlie poorhouses
and ultimately it will rum tin' country,
and if we could have prohibition we
would not need any firison or poor
homes. J Every body would be well
oil."- '
"That is a Jgool reason," said the
teacher.
"Now what is the reason you are a
democrat, Sam? '
" Well, sir," was the reply, 'i am a

The two cabinets are very similar in
one important particular; the members
are personal friends ol the president as
well as his political allies. - Mr. Cleve

company of his former cabinetininis

formality about cabinet meetings that

Stop Abtisia? the Fanner.
It is strange to us that so many
"gifted writers and" great men," at
leat in their own estimation, mate so
many attacks upon the farmers.
Would that they could get through
some-day and not alwavs ! kicking
against the farmers. The farmers are
not the "driving wheel," but he is the
"wheel driver.". He does not make the
laws, but he labors for himself and
ihose who do make the laws and they
could not get along without him." So
iiwrHj-.with this nonsense, andif you
think it so easy and pleasant to farm,,
"go to work;" put yourtelf in their
place and show them how to live by
"your great farming,15 which seems to
be so much like doing nothing. WhaU
the farmers ned is not advice all the
time and abuse because they do not do
any betW, 5ut they need somebody ta
take hold and lielp them up, not -tear
them down. Give them an example by
going to work yourselves and by and
by things wilt change, arid all will re
joice together as friends and co-workers.
