UUR WASHINGTON LETTER- (Prom oar .tsu.i ,...-r. jj cnitit.) r The more the i-u'-jed is V.i'kt d over among those interested inJie matter the stronger become the ind guations that there will be little or no fiiian cial legislation at the session of Con gress which begins next Monday. A number of measurss will be report ed from Committees soon after the session opens, but there is such a conflict of opinion and of interest in the matter that the accomplishment of anything definite is extremes doubtful. On th part of the silver men there is hard 13 a disposition to make an' effort. The committee on banking and currency may report a free coinage bill, wnich will uever be acted upon. A argon ty report la vorable to the repeal of the state bank tax will probably be made by the committee on banking and cur reucy and there will also be a minor it' report adverse to it. Secretary Carlisle, the Speaker of the House, and the President, not so entausiasti cally, are in favor of the re-.eal of this tax. The chairman of the bank ing committee is opposed to it and it is believed that the proposition has not the support of the majority in the House. It may be stronger in the Senate. The Treasury Department ill try to secure legislation favora ble to national banks, providing for an inctease of the nation 1 hank cur rencv. Rut the belief of those best inrormed is that through the licker ings arising froui deferent Interests all substantial and important legis lation will fail. The ways shd means committee have been hard at work ou the tar i if bill. They were remarkably success ful in preserving the secrecy of the committee, every member being as watchful over his tongue a3 if his honor and reputation were at stake. There is hardl3 in the history of Con gress a more sucenssful effort at e crecj'. The executive secrets of the Senate are more easily obtained on the da" of their birth than to get any informstion from this committoe dur ing all the time they were in sesion As it stands today, the new tarilf bill contains no protection, except such as is incidental, and no more of even incidental protection than could not be avoided in providing for reve nues. The dutyon such articles as are in the old law barely in the pro tective pchedulcs is redveed a little, but in ever3' case where the McKm ley law gives huh protection the cutsl have been heroic. In some cases the duties left on are not more than one third of those provided in the Mc Kinley law. Taking all the cuts, great and small, to cast the average, the average reduction of duties in the bill will approximate 40 pet cent. The bill has in it. therefore, practi call' no protection and will occasion a verj' heavy loss of revenue, which must be made up by some means not yet decided on. The additions to the free list, are very great, and include nearl' all of the crude and raw materials used in manufacturing and a great number of the chemicals. The following are new items in this free list : Wool, iron, ore. coal, pig tin. bemp, flax, jute, silver, lead ore. copper, salt. biudiug twine aud cotton tie3 and lumber not advanced in preparation beyond sawing. The sugar schepule of the new bill continues the free importation of raw sugar, while the i 11 . . , , duty on refined sugar is reduced frem half a cent to a quarter of 1 cent per pound. The bounty paid under the McKinlev law of 2 cents a pound ; -fits a pound ! the . United i jon sugar produced in caies is louegreuuceu acii.eraie 01 a quarter of a cent each year. Eight years will, therefore, elause before it is finall yrepealed. A most impor tant action ot the contmutee in . coq nection with the sugar question is the ai andonraent of the reciprocity feat;- ore wuich was sucl a striking feat ure of the McKinley bill. There wi iii be no reciprocits clause in'the Vil t son bill. f The House of Representatives is at times an evancent body. Nearly 150 raemherslive within a day's ride of the Capitol, and many of them cap reach home within a few hours. It is this fact that maks aquorum of the House erane-cent. ludeed, " only measures of great national4importancc fill the seats in the chamber. When a dual vote has been taken upon any great measure, the quorum seems to vanish like the mists of the morni ing. j There ma be a;quorurn piesentin the city without being made manifest inithe House. Scores of members are ramping the departmentsVfn the interest of their constituent with - a deft eye to business in the House! Some Congressmen are like carrier pigeons, flying home 6u the first 3 op portuaity iiid distributing intelli4 gence. Oihers vanish or weeks for mtiihs, and in.two recfent cases for years without being recorded on 4 yea ur nay vote. Even 'among thej steady attendants of the sessions oi the House there are' very few hard workeis. The man who talks the most,as ausual thing, works the least. There are outriders and cas s vorters around tlu, legislativccoachj and a very few wheel horses. The1 old wheel horses are giving place to thenewbut fortunately. amoiig- the! new ones there aie a few men who are ever in their seats and always af; work. . Without them the crops would i be filled with weeds, the roads over run with water courses and many - a political field lie fallow. AmbassadorfcVan Alen he of the monocle has at I asf'e merged from! his diplomatic seclusion and has con descended to intimate to tae Secret tarv of Siae that he will c ome 1 to 1 Washington shortly for the purpose- of receiving instructions for the ad 4 ministration of his oflice at the capw ;J. tal of Italv. It is said that he has i engaged sumptious apartments nfi Rome and is prepared to entertai n, on a layishjj New York "four hun dred" seals. ,;. ; V j CITY OF CHURCHES- A Town of Wonderful Growth i Good Schools. A gentleman remarked to me a day or two aga that as Rateigh has been called the "City of Oaks' so some day. according to it progress orj that-line thus far, the town ot Duni may be called the City, of Church es. Just seven years ago the first sound of the workman's axe was heard in felling the timbers in the great pine; forest which has been almost wonderf fully transformed into the beautiful and thriving town of Dunn. In whit is generally considered the "slow -.1. .7 ontn it. 15 IlLtlA WftH P . derful to see, within seven years, a riui i . KetiiJ Treai loreat tiuiijn ...... u)wn; and especially so. whbre n4 manufacture.! up to STT'-U lue Vi,u,atl.,n- ucbr anufacturing industry Iias sprung fact HboutDuniu There are now a thousand 'people in the town and its streets present the daily appearance or a largc'and thriv ing business. There is no large man 11 factor', but t' e town has grown up ana is bu 11 supported oy the agri cultural interests of what is general- ly termed in snch cases country." 'the back Among o.her remarkable things about the town is the number o churches thathave been erected and sustained. There are seven hand some and comfortable churches in the town all of which are completed with in four years after the first work was done towards building the town The seven churches represenc the dc nominational interests of the Metho dists, Presbyterians, Baptists, Disci pies, Primitive Baptists, and Free will Raptists Dunn has also been alive to its ed ucational interests. There are two handsome and commodiousschool buildings in the town in both of which there has been a flourishing school until recently, when they combined and both schools are now under the management of Prof. D. B. Parker, assisted by Prof. W. C. Williams. Prof. Parker is a natiye of Harnett county, educated at' Trinity College. and Prof. Williams is from Rich mond, Va., and was educated at Rich mond College. While there is no large manufacto ry in Dunn, Mr, J. A. McKay has recently commenced the manufactory of turpentine tools and he has aU ready secured a large pntronage South, and proposes to enlarge bis business soon. Altogether Dunn is a hustling town and its people are all that you mean when you say "clever." I spent a night in the pleasant home ol Mr. Kldridge Lee, who has an interesting family, and whose kind ness and hospitality, together with tbat of his charming wife was all that one could wish. I also spent a short while in the home of Mr. G. K. Grantham, editor of the Dunn Times, and the recollec tions of an hour spent with him a nd his accomplished wife are pleasaut indeed. Leaving Dunn I traveled in compa ny with Mr. T. D. Stewart, a pleasant companion, a few miles to Buie's Creek academy, where a few years ago I spent some time iu teaching what was then a common 'old field school." In what was then the wild woods, I drove up to the handsome and well appointed home of Rev- J. A. Campbell. He is one of the play mates of my boyhood, and it was quite a pleasure to me to meet him and his queenly little wife who a few years ago was a pupil under my in struction. My entertainment with them for a night and a day was royal indeed. Mr. Campbell is piincipal of Buie's Creek Academj', which is a flourish ing school, having Rrown up under his management and numbering on this 'year's catalogue nearly . a hun dred pupils. He is assisted by. Prof. W. M. Montgomery and Miss Nolia Benson. I know of no community ia North Carolina that has mademore improve ment within the past ten years than this, and it is aloioatall all due to the efforts and energy of Mr. Campbell, who, besides doing a great work for his immediate community, is doing good work for his county as Superin tendent of education for the county. I find the people of this community very enthusiastic on the subject of education and there are many young men hsre who promise much foi the iiowever is the coutay ici coiumimitY tnruurti tht-sr energy and efforts for upbuUding their communities. Of course there art many things to entertan and intereat me here which my readers raigkt noi appreciate. The county It well sip plied with home supplies and the far- mer8 are independent at their home. VV ltu better prices for cotton and oth er money crops they would be per fectly independent in all.
