l'CIJLISHKD EVKKY THURSDAY. 1)11, J. II. DANIEL, Editor aid Proprietor. OUR WASHINGTON LETTER. (From On. RuUf co. iPa.'OiiJent.) TLc House Las been distinguUhinz itself with scenes ot turmoil and dis order and some of the recent sessions during the consideration of the Bland seigniorage bill will go down in his tory as the most disgraceful of ail that bave been beld in twenty years. The oldest member cannot remember anything like it. The youngest members do not want to stay in Con gress long enough to witness its equal. For an exhibition of turbuv lence, for one continued disregard of authority, for an unknown cessat.on of uncontrollable and unbridled acts, the session on Washington's birthday will long stand wothout a parallel. Even the historic and aweinspiring mace, born aloft by the Se.'geaatvrt arms, was greeted with jeers and de rision and might as well have been a broomstick in the hands of mother Goose. The trouble has been due in 'reat measure to the arrest of meras bers in an etrort to maintain a quorum. It would seem thai the contention over quorums and the indiscriminate arrests of members of Congress is something that might be avoided 03 the application of businesslike ana practical rules. The present state of j affairs is but the result of an effort to vule the adoption of rules that would enable the nojority to to pass mens tires after a reasonable time for de bate has been accorded- There ouht to be no great difficulty in a dopting a rule that would enable the Speaker to ascertain whether or not a quorum is present. There is no clotidt concerning the temper of the country on tins point, and the sooner the rules of both the sooner the Sens and House arc changed to conform with business methods the better it will be for every interest concerned. The country is weary of the "no quorum" farce in the House and the senatorial courtesy" excuse in the Senate. 'This is certainly melancholy. Moreover, it is unique, and, worst of all, it is contravention of the cora! raonly accepted legal doctrine that silence gives consent In character istically picturesque phrases the coun. ter. of quorums, Mr. Thomas H. Reed, commeutcd upon the latest plan for developing a quorum. The most striking feature of this plan is that after tnose present but not voting have been recorded there must be a majority of atliraatiye voles over the other two classes, that is, over the negative and those present but not voting. "Thi. plan would deprive members 03 a 'nay upon their silence. Hut we must bear with them a little longer, "said the portly Czar Thomas, with au air of paternal resignation and a look which meant that he would just like to count a qnorum once again. A typical presidential day begins at S A. M. Half an hour later In oak fast is announced. The Press 'dent cecords his wife down to the czy private dining room. It is a handsome but not pretintious apart- incut, with two enormous sideboards, filled with complete servires of sotid gold. At 9.30 the President leaves the private apartments and the pleas nrcs 01 donesticity to enter the o'lis cial wing of the White House and take up the affairs of state, and Pri vate Secretary Thurper comes in with his morning's budget. The bulk of his correspondence is never seen by Mr. Cleveland, but civil answers arc fMjut iv courteous c(immmumcai!onsJri,o t c . i . Autographs of the President and bis wiic are mailed to most people who sk for them. An hour and a half is the time available for gong oyer the M'!fcc-!tl k-l'trs with Mr. TburberJ iii:d tor Tiv;r.r iictruciio.i-3 ou Mlairs of immediate importance. After lunch the President goes bark to bis olliee and works until 7 o'clock, vliich is dinner time. Gen. Harri sou always put on evening dre33 for the formal meal of tbe day ; bat, as a rule, Mr. Cleveland performs that ceremony oily when there is compa ny. Dinner over, he and his wife have a half hour's romp with the childreu. Then the father of the fam ilv returns to his desk and risumes his toil, which continues until lonp after miduight,- often until 2 or 3 a. ra. It is said .that he is the hardest wot ker that has ever occupied the chair of cnief executive. The President has gone on a duck shooting trip of about ten days along the North Carolina coast, accompa nied by Secretary Gresham. It is intention of the Presidential partv to proceed to North Carolina by way of the D'sraal Swamp, where they may get a shot t a bear or some other big game. The trip has been in con temptation iir some time. In pri vate conversation with friends Mr. Cleveland has not hesitated to ex press openly his dissatisfaction with the present aspect of alTaies in Con gress, and his desire to get away for a time from disagreeable environ ments. The inacnvily of the Senate J on the tariff bill is to him a source of J much concern. Insiders and outsiders vbo pre-. that the present session of Congress would end in May are a little on prophecy. As the days go on it be comes apparent that it is to be a very long session. Although the Wilson j bill has passed the chamber of its origin experience legislators know that it is stjll many a weary mile from its hnali'y. Outside of the tars iff bill, there are many other import tant measures for consideration. The latest estimate of adjournment car ries the well into July or August. THE HASTY WORD. To think before 300 speak is so wise an axiuin that one would hardly think it needful to emphasize it by repetition. And yet in how many cases the hasty temper flashes out ia the hasty word, and the latter does its work with the precision and the paiH of the swift stiletto ! Singular" ly enough, the hasty word ofteneat wounds those who love one another dearly, and the very closeness ot tueir intimacy affords them opportu nity for the sudden thrust. WTe know the weak points in the armor of our kinsman and our friend; we are aware of his caprices, and ordinariU are tendered compassionate eyen of his vanitie? and his small fancies and whims; but there dawns a day when it is written in the book of fate that, we shall be as cruel as we are lovin. We are cold, or tried, or hungry. We are anxious over unpaid bills, or our expected letters have not arrived, or om of the children is ailing, and we dread the outcone of the malady. So politeness fails us. fortitude is van quished, philosophy is in abeyance, and we say tha'. which we repent in sackcloth ad ashes. Hut though the hasty word may be forgiven, it is not at once for gotten. It has flawed the crystal of our friendship; tbc place may be cemented but there is a shadowyjscar on the gleaming sur face. Oh, if the word of haste had but been left unspoken; if the strong hand of patience had but held back the sword a it was about to strike ! (Harper's Bazar Capt. W. R.
