01 WASHINGTON LETTER.
(From Ortr Regnlir Correspondent .1
lue disposition of a number of
Senators to change the rules of de
bate so iong in vogce is well konwn.
In view of the apparent impossibility
of ever reaching a vote on the repeal
bill during the extra session, it was a
freely expressed opinion, having all
the outw&rd appears nee of a set de
termination, on the part of several
prominent Senators that the time bad
come for abandoning, the antiquated
traditions and alleged obligations o
of Senatorial courtesy for some hero
ic and summary process of forcing
the previous question and beading off
debate when it had passed deli be ra
live limits. But it can hardly be said
that the cloture idea has ever been
really relished by a majority of the
Senate. ' It is regarded as in some
sacred sense inconsistent with the
dignity as well as the precedents of
the Senate.
The Son ale, as a'legislative body.
should bowevet be take a for whatev
er it has come to be. not for what it
has beem in years gone by. and should
be governed accordingly. Yet, so
far as can be learned, the spurt that
took place in this direction last fall
seems to have quieted down for the
time being, notwithstanding a reas
onable possibility that circumstances
may recur before the session is over
to demand the most vigorous aud ef
ficacious methods of expediting . leg
islation. There is the tariff bill, for
instance, and it is by no means cer
taiu that this measure is to have in
the Senate the same smooth and
rapid sailing that is confidently pres
dieted of it in the House, The rro-
position for a change of the rules of
the Senate should not be lightly dis.
missed. The danger line of unlimi
ted debate has not yet been crossed.
Congress Is now safely started oq
ts long session, and much specula
tion is being indulged in as to the
probable length of the trip. Senator
Voorhees looks for a long session,
and there are other prominent Con
gressmen who thins: this Congress
will be in Washington until late in
September. The fact that the ap
proaching summer brings with it the
campaigns for the Congressional ele
ction may hasten legislation. Spea
kftr Crisp has been quotea as saying
that he exoected to see the Wilson
tariff bill sent to the Senate bv th
.
a
t. of Febuary. If this. is done an
a 1 m
he Senate committee is expeditious
in its woik the bill could be laid be
fore the Senate by the 1st. of March.
Tbe time when the law is to take
effect has been extended to the 1st. of
June, and if all ?ne calculations of
the leaders of the party in both hous
es are out cf ioint tbe bill should be
come a law within one month before
that date is reached.
The prospects for any financial
legislation at this session do not ap
pear bright. Mr. Voorhees proposes
to press bis silver bill, and believes
it will pass the Senate. In the Honse,
however, it will lack the support of
Bland and other radical silver men.
who say will not accept anything
short of the free coinage "of silver.
Tbe banking and currency com mi tee
is greatly dended on the questions
beiore it, and the House is in almost
as bad a condition as. to the same
matters. It is not by any means. an
assured thing that the bill which Mr.
Spjinger proposes, to enlarge the
national bank currency, will be ac
cepted by the committee. Tbe advo
cates of national banks think they
see a bond issue in the very near fa
ture, which will aolv i the question of
a basis for national bank currency
for the time being.
A good many worse things might
happen to this country than the re
duction of the treasury balance. If
monev has to be borrowed Uncle
Sam will not be obliged to goto the
ten percenters for it. If he merely
intimates his desire for ale an it will
be eagerly offered him almost at his
own terms. So the reduction of the
treasury surplus does not mean ca
lamity by any means. It may offord
evidence of mistake in legislation; it
may suggest to financiers some
changes in onr financial' system; but
it cannot be taken as evidence of the
inability of the government or peo
pie to pay their depts. The country
is rich, despite the falling off in the
treasnry accounts and despite the
prevailing indusarial depression.
There is a great revival of interest
in Goy. McKinley among tbe politi
cians in Congress. However opin
ions may differ among repubheons as
to McKinley's chances for receiving
tbe nomination Tor nomination for
President it almost a universal opin
among democrats that their next
fight is going to be with the tariff and
McKenley. A member of McKenley's
official household tells me that Mc
Kenley has aged considerably within
the past year or two, and that his
hair is begi-ming to turn gray. Lines
of care have appeared in "bis face.
and he is altogeatber a more thought
ful and graver man than he was two
years ago.
The Post Ofl3ce Department has
given notice to the country that the
Columbian stamps must go-that Is
they must all he sold before new
stamps of normal size -will be issued
in their place.
It will iindoubtly require a strong
administration tug to pull the nnfor
tun ate Hornblower on the Senatorial
rock 8.
Now Congress should bang up a
busy day' sign and mean it.
Mr. J. A. Harrell, proprietor of the
well known printing house of WeN
don, N. C. died of heart failure at his
home at Henderson, on the 3rd. of
January. He was a prominent can
didate for Government printer and
was indorsed by a host of public and
private citizens.
It will be seen from the following
statement that the home market the
ory has bean exploded in Pennsyl
vania, the greatest Piotection State In
the Union and in 1890 the aggregate
value of farm products of this State
was $8,432,128 less than the value of
arm product of 1880.
The Grand Lodge of Masons of N.
C. met in Wilmington last week and
elected the following for the enaue
ng year:
Gen. John W. Cotton, of Tarboro,
Grand Master.
Francis. M. Moye. of Moyeton, De
puty Grand Master.
Richard J. Noble, of Smiibfield,
tenior Giand Warden.
Walter E Moore, of Webster, Jun
ior Grand Warden.
Wm. Simpson, of Raleigh. Grand
Treasurer.
Wm. H. Bahv of Raleigh. 7 Grand
Secretary. '
Mr. G. Rosenthal of Raleigh, was
elected Director (or the Oxford Orph
an Asylum for the term of five years.
On motion, the Grand Lodge ap
propriated $3,500 for the Oxford
Orphan Asylum.
It looks now as if the Corbett
Mitchell fight will faU through. The
Methodist conference of Florida . Has
passed resolutions endorsing the ac
tion of Gov. Mitchel to prevent tbe
fight,
It is very probable that we are to
have an income Vax. A majority of
the Democrats lof the Ways and
Means cummittett have decided tt re.
Dort the bill fivoriahlv. We are
hartily in favor qjT this policy because
it is fair, because it is a tax which
those who bava to Dav it can afford
to pay. because it will compel the
very rich to pav their de share to-
wards sustaining the Government
