OUR WASHINGTON LETTER
(From our IW-j,u.. ,.o.r. .ij .-.v?nt.)
The divinity that doth hedge about
a king is nothing to jie exclusive:
I ness which is now surrounding the
t Democratic Senate. The ancient and
Inmoruble Thomas Jefferson, the fath
er of Democracy and its patron saint
must turn over in his graye. if he has
any idea how far his political decern!
ant.H have departed from its princi
pies of the rights of the commonpeo
ple. Many instances to iilfstrale
lliis fact coulu be cited. They have
b een gradually increasing during the
last few years, but one.or two of the
laiesu exiuDiiions oi senatorial pre
rogative are deserving of notice. In
the western end ot the Capitol is the
Senate elevator, which has hitherto
been used, as a matter of course, by
persons whose business called them
to the upper stories of the building.
All of a sudden, however, the Sena
tors have come to the conclusion that
they will not ride any longer iu the
same elevator with the common herd.
Guards arc now stationed at the cor
ridors leading to the elevator, with
instructious to allow no one to pass
except Senators and members of Sen atorial
families arid newspaper cor'
respondents. For the first time in
the history of the country the free
passage of the pub'ic through the
Capitol is impeded by guards station
ed for that purpose.
But there is another development
of exclusiveness on the pare of the
Senate which is more 6er;ous, The
Senate taets at 12 o'clock. Usually
the Senate chamber is deserted by
the Solons until within a minute or
two before the Vice President's ga
vel falls. Washington is the Mecca
of excursionisis. a.id every American
citizen who visits the national capi
tal for the first time is anxious at once
t' visit therhall of the. House and the
Senate chamber and tread the sacred
boards where our American stales
men have represented or misrepre
sented the American people. While
the two houses of Cougress are in
session all the world knows that
none except those who have been can
nonized by the elective votes of a
constituency are entitled to enter
thesa precincts, but the priyilege of
passing freely through the Capitol
building between theTnorning hours
of 9 and 11.30 lias always heretofore
been accorded the public, and in the
absence of the Senate the average
tourist usually tiptoes . through the
chamber and speaks under his breath.
Since the opening of this session,
however, the doors of the Senate
chamber are kept 'dosed until the
Senate opens, and consequently no
person who is not entitled to the flor
of the Senate during its sessions is
admitted to the chamber at any time.
The Attorny General- has been
suhjected to a good -deal of incon- j
Mc erate criticism because of his ap
parent indisiositlon'to enforce the
so-called anti-tiust lawof 1S90. A

statute is ns broad and infinite in its
sr."pe ss the "general welfare" clause
of the Federal Constitution, but the
cases tti which it really applies are
limited in number. Nevertheless, in

prcme Court, upon which f he hopes
for early, as it will be conclusive, ac
tion. I
Gossip on the tariff question is
rife at the Capitol, The points which
are affecting the democrats of the
House most are the income tax con
troversy and the conflicting opinions
as to how the sujjar schedule
shall
be adjusted. The indications point
strongly to the substitution of an in
dividual income tax for the tax on
corporations which the Committee
has adopted and Mr. Cleveland has
indorsed. Tnere is u tacit under
standing that nothing is to be done
j
in the matter of increasing the internal-revenue
tax on whiskey, but cir.
cumstances may "change the purposes
in this respect. Tile general inipres
sion is that the sugar schedule, as it
goes through the House, will be as it
is in the Wilson bill with the bounty
provision stricken off. and 1 that the
Senate will amend the Jbil by pro
viding a duty on sugar.
benator Hoar was, never happier
than when he epitomized the Hawaii
an situation in his Senate fpeech by
quoting the biblical incident of Joab
and Amasa. Art lhou inhealth, my
brother?" inquired Joab. ashe stabbed
his neighbor just beneathj the most
important rib. It is a real pleasure
to be able to state that, atj last ac
counts, Amas-i. in the person of t he
Hawaiian President Dole, was in ex
cellent good health, and - hat Joab,
our Minister Willis, was sitill finger
ing his knife and wondering where
Uat fifth rib could havel gone. It
may be that Mr. Willis has been ims
providently cast for tfiV- part and
found it a trifle too shall we say ro-bust?-for
his complexion. But, any
how, Joab still lurks in the shadow
and Amasa still takes his meals with
relish and regularity, .-..

The discipline of the gathering at
Charltte is perfect. It always i9 at
n Methodist Confereticc. The face
of the presidins bishop may even I
new to all before him, but he will take
his plaqp dignified and self-possessed
as all his predecessors have been
and he will rule with an even hand.
These may be the right of an appeal
from his decision, but it is safe to say
that it will be exercised. The busi
nes of the Conference will proceed
in an order'settled by the practice of
vears, from the beginning to the close,
without a ripple or a jar. In less
than a week the Conference will have
transacted more actual business than
a State Legislature does in a month.
Most impressive perhaps, of all, is
the implicit obedience with which the
mandates of the Conference will be
obeyed. The Methodist preacher.
like the Jesuit and the soldier, asks
no questions, Dut goes where he is
sent. The associations formed dur
ing one, two, three or even four years
of residence will be broken without a
complaining word; and the preacher
ith his wife and children and the
house-hold goods worn with much
moving will wend his way to anoth
er "ebarge," there to labor in a new,
and, may haps, stony field; to make
friends of strangers, and to leavp old
friends to be as strangers, thereafter.
He will feel, it may be. a sinking of
tUe heart, as a few Sundays hence,
he arises in a strange place to address
a congregation inwhich there may
not be a familiar face ; but whatever
he may feel ho will submit himself
in silence to the discipline of his or
der. He will do this, too, year after
year, until an old man and almost
certainly as poor as pld, he will re
luctantly accept a superanuated re
lation," and even then his white head
will be seen at each session of the
Annual Conference until the day
comes when the earth shall cover bis
toil and his time-worn face from the
sight of men.
Other gatherings are of the "earth
earthy," to perfect the plans of men;
to organize parties for collective or
individual aggrandziement; to grasp
the sources of wealth, or to lay the
foundation of power but gatherings
like this at Charlotte deal with none
of these things. They concern not
the laying out or construction of any
earthby thoroughfare of commerce, or
highway of trade but the ptraiht
and narrow path that leads to life
eternal. .
As men an1 citizen in other daya
of the year these preachers may and
do concern themselyes in the divis
ion of political parties, but their bus
iness at Charlotte relates to what
they firmly believe is coming a divis
ion of all soils on the right hand or
on the left on the 4day of days."
Not one of these men at Charlotte
but feels himself, hownver humble as
an mdividua-. the ambassado r of the
King of Kings, intrusted with a mes
sage which he dares not, it be would,
refuse to deliver. The discipline,
the obedteoce, the 'renunciation, he
accepts as a soldier does the chancer
of wounds, death and captivity but
the campaign must go on and on.
Men may affirm or deny, stand
with these men or against tbem. call
tbem fanatics or apostles, the votaries
of a JecAving superstition or the her-1
aids of victory but no roan unless
he be s prejudiced as to be ruled ut
