The two men thus npffiintfid were .lack Morphew of (1! ntfnv-^nd Hilly SuMivan of l?un coiAd Ott thing- t hiit is to he maw&L .about that is that it' any coi#ngjvints to become so that it fancf irifTiiorfPTfti Raleiub, it must pick ort a <rood man and keep him in the fieneraf Assem bly. Morphew is serving'1 liis third term. and Sullivan his second. With J heir representatives heading these :wo powerful commitlces, (irahant and Buncombe, lor the West, are in pisiiion to exercise ;i great influence upon the affairs of the Slate. Any county that sends first one person rsrid then another to represent it, can ev'i-i-H ;o receive little attention from the State at large. Since Speaker .IoIuimhi and Lieu tenant Oovernor Oraham have an nounced the -personnel- of the impor tant committees, the (ieneral Assem bly, which has been marking time, can now gel 'started on its business, and make a rec rd for fin'ediimr up and getting home ncarlv within the <i0 days that is allotted to it, if it sets it-; mind to do so. It has no sreh irreat problems as those that confronted the last Assem lib'. Then J he wjiole country was in the very bottom of fin:mci;;! distress. The banks all closed, while it was in session, and it wa^ put to its wits end to find anv means for <? arrying on the necessary business of ihe State and keeping the schools open at all. A large part of the State has now practically, recovered from the de pression, and is enjoying the greatest measure of prosperity since the World War davs and shortly there after, with the Man in the Moon flirting with tobacco prices, and his Old Lady wearing cotton. Tn other parts of the State tlvre has been marked improvement sipee two years ago, in some not as n.ijci: as is desired, but the problem is n??f near ly so difficult. However, the proposal of the budget commission to eliminate the exemptions on the bare necessi ties of life from the sales tax law, is likely to provoke a storm of pro test from cetrain quarters in the As sembly, since many of t lie m?'n who forced those exemptions into the law two years ago, thinking that i.s in not right to tax the articles upon which the poor subsist and the milk that the babies have to drink, are still members of the Assembly. and will be expected to put up. a fight f?r the exemptions qow existing. It might also easily start the sales tax figli all over again, since there are many members pledged against the reten tion of the tax at all, and Willard Powell, for the Merchants' Associa tion, and the Fair Tax Leaguers, 01 whatever they call themselves; h?t<i their cohorts ready and waiting for ' an opening to make an attack aTa'.nst i the whole sales tax set up. - N 1 ' '' ' -i ^ " Washington Scene Of Much Activity As 73rd Session Of Congress Gets Uuder Way 1 40 YEARS AGO fuckaseige Democrat, Jan. 17, 1895 Mrs. H. P. Potts, of Dillsboro, died Sunday last, of pneumonia. Our handsome and clever youit*; iriend, Danl. G. Bryson, Jr., gav. 'ts a pleasant visit Saturday. Gen. Hampton and little sou, Row ev, came out from Asheville Monday ?nd staid until next day. Mr. and Mrs. G. W. Spake returned o this county Tuesday, and we learn will locate at Dillsboro. The death of Mrs. Daisy Madiso>< Hooper occurred at Franklin Janu .iry 2, after several months of suffer ing, an<| she was interred in th? cemetery at that place the following FHlay, Mrs. Hooper was a descendanl of President Madison. Her fathei w** Dr. Robt. L. Madison, of Lex ington, .Va. He was on Gen. Lee', stuff a#id was also physician for tin Virginia Military Institute. She en joyed in her girlhood all the advant ages of cultured, refined society, and she was a pure as the daisies of the field, but beneath her gentleness wa*. an undercurrent of strength that made her wonderfully brave in the sternest of life 's battles. K. K. B. At Raleigh: Our lawmakers have started. off at a gait entirely inco:i sistent with the idea that the Legis lature would pursue a moderate ami conservative course. The separate cauenses of republicans and populists having ^designated their choice for two U| S. Senators, a joint caucu ttw ratified* the mmkmr fr&Snat; Butler -for the long and Jeter (' Pritchard for the short term. Bill-' to repeal the present system of coun ty government, the election laws an I the railroad commission. A bill 1 " repeal the law providing for letting the public printing to the loweM bidder was rushed through to keep from acting on bids which have been submitted. The business like method of giving the taxpayers a chance ol having their work done at the lowr e??t price didn't suit the fusionists. They preferred that the work cost more than usual rather than risk the chance of a democratic printing of fice being the lowest bidder. The pre siding; officers of both Houses wen shorn of their power to appoint the committees for the first time in the history of the State. This was don<. because the presiding officer of the Senatf is a democrat. They are going at it with a rasfc. I . This is an era of "reform. " When the D< <uocrats controlled the Legis lature Mr. Reitzell, of Catawba, who lost one leg bravely fighting for the Confederate cause, was Assistant Doorkeeper of the House. Last year, I in common with other misguided men, he joined the Populist party. It won, even in the Democratic strong hold of Catawba and he naturally thought that his experience and de votion to Fusion would at least en able him to hold his old place. There was a belief that the prominent Pop ulist member from Catawba, Lee Whitener, would see to it that the brave Confederate soldier kept the small crumb the "corrupt of Demo cratic party" had given him. There was great surprise, therefore, when Mr. Reitzell was turned down by the Pusionists and Abe Middleton, the negro boss of Duplin ?county wius elected to the place Mr. Reitzel had filled so satisfactorily. Mr. Lee Whitener, ex-Democrat, didn't have much ikfJ^soe, or he preferred Abe Middleton and obedience to the Boss, to the old Confederate soldier. We have gotten back to the days of the 1868 Radicals. This is the beginning. M Reuzel ought to have known wha^to expect at the hands of the enemies of good government and to have been as true to the best inter 3ts of his State in 1892 as in 1862. But he listened to the smooth voiec of tie deieiver and fell into a wrona course. He never dreamed then that he would he kicked out of the capitol to make room for a negro Rcpubli i can. This act ought to open the eyes of everv FoptfKst in the State to the drift of things. ? N?wa and Obwver. \Vjashiugton, Jan. l(i. (SjK'cial) ? With the complete machinery ot (iov ernment in full swing ? Congress in session, the Supreme Court on the bench and the Executive departments, which never take :t vacation, func tioning full speed ? Washington today presents a scene of unparalleled act ivity. /The city is so crowled thai many of the new Senators nad Represen tatives, who had no previous Wash ington experience, have found it im possible to get houses, apartments or even hotel accommodations within the reach of their pocket books. Wash ington's attitude toward the denizens of Capitol Hill is that they are only transients, anyway, anl let them take a hall bedroom if they can't find any thing else. New members who came expeeting to.be welcomed at the sia tion by a brass band and flooded with invitations to social affairs, are dis covering that, no matter how big they may be in their home towns, they are only so many votes for ? >r against ? Administration measures when they get to Washington. Only after years of service does a Sena tor or a Representative establish himself as a personality in the Wash ington hurlcy-burlev. One of the first things a new mem ber learns, however, is that tho "allowances" above his salary are worth conserving. There is nothing in law or custom to prevent a Sena tor or Representative from putting his wife, his son, his daughter or other relatives on the Federal pay roll. Each member is entitled to a secretary and to other clerical help, and if he is a committee chairman ho has the naming of important paid employees of the eommittee. A recent count showel 44 persons bearing the same names as^ Senators -and iteprc- . sertfitfTVcs, on UjIbji at of Congression al secretaries. A frugal member can ?ave pretty nearly all of his $10,000 i year salary, and many do just that. Very few members evr get their names in the bit? newspapers, but Ihe corps of Washington correspondents now includes scores of young men who make a specialty of getting these unknown members a "break" in their home district newspapers. All that is necessary for the av erage member to do to get favorable mention in home paper dispatches is to introduce plenty of bills which are calculated to impress the home voters. Seldom do any of these bills get be yond the committee to which they are referred, and it is one of the rarest of events for a new member of either house to get a chance to make a speech. All he is expected to do oi has much of a chance to do is to bo "regular" and vote the way his par ty leaders tell him to. ' The now Congress will play l>;i!l with the President ? 011 everything but the bonus. NVbodv can tell what may happen when it comes to the question of old-age ]>ensions. The President opened the door for that in his annual message. The Townsend Plan advocates say they have 25,000, 000 votes behind the scheme to giv?? everybody Over (iO a pension of $200 a month. That's a lot of votes, an 1 if any such demonstration can made, it will have a jtOweH'til effect on Congress. The Administration plan of provid ing jobs for everybody who is able 'o work, but at wages lower than those current in private industry, while throwing the burden of caring for the unemplovables back on the states, as outlined in the President's message, is well liked on Capitol Hill, and the first billion dollars neces sary to carry this out has already been authorized by Congress. But this work relief plan, which is to be submitted for direct cash doles, will take many months to get into ojmt.i tion, two or three years, perhaps, to get into full swing. Meantime, Uncle Sam will continue to dish out money direct payments to the unem project. Signs are multiplying that the power of organized labor in the Ad ministration is declining. The split off of the building trades, from the A. P. of L. will, it is predicted here, result ir. four major labor organiza tions instead of three, and may re sult in new and younger leaders gain ing control of the Federation. Mean time, it is reported, the Administra tion is considering offering legiala tGopfcttoed ?? two) _ _
