WABHIH&TON LETTER.
From our Regular Correspondent. 1
Washington, April 1, 1889
Have Harrison and iiiamo any intlii
enoe with the Republican SenateT
If to, how much? Since the Senate.
bv tho very decisive, vots of 25 to 19
rtictcd tho nomination of Mural
Halstoad, editor of the Cincinnati
Commercial Gazettee, to be minister to
Germany, these quottons have been
asked on ovary hind and many answers
havo been given. It is wall knowi
here that Harrison and Blaino took
occasion to inform overy Republican
senator that they are very d3-piy in
terested in Haklead's confirmation au1
yet tho Senato vn'ed acainst his conlir
mation, only nineteen favor'u.c it, and
two of thpm were Democrats Messrx
Blackburn and Call.
Therefore tho inlerenco is that Ilir-
rison and Blaino havo no vcrv great
amount of influenco with the Senators
of their party. This rej-ction of Hal
stead by Itopublican votes is a very
queer thine;, and is likely to mak
trouble for some of the partlt a for
long time to come. Tiiat tho Demo
crats should have voted against h'n
confirmation was to be expected, but
what puzzles people hereabouts is wh
suoh a rampant bloody shirt waver a
Ingalls should have joined them. Hal
Htead's opinion of those Republicans
who voted against him will mak
mighty interesting rosding.
The sorprise created by tho noraina
tion of Robert Lincoln to be Minist r
to England has not yet died out, and
Republican applicants for the big
appointments still open are anxiously
inquiring if tho Garfield, boys want
anything, beoause if they do there
is no reason after tho Fred Grant and
Lincoln i.'ppointments why they should
not get it.
It looks very much as though that
Senatorial boycott was beginning to
get in its work.
Th Senate will adjourn this week,
and President Harrison will bo very
glad to havo them go away as ho ha
a few more appointments of the
Halstead order to mako, and does not
hanker after other objections at prwnt.
Some very bad news was officially
received hero on Saturday afternoon.
On tho 15 of March a hurrioano com
pletely destroyed tho Uniud States
war vessels Trenton and Yandalia and
drove the Nipslo upon a coral roef
in tho harbor of Apia, ono of tho Sa
moan islands. And to add to the dis
r p- 4(1 Mv - wore lost, among them
oooutunaker, who was in com
iii-..d of the V.mdalia. Two German
war ships wero lost with ono hundred
men it the same time. Tho Trenton
and Vandalia were among the btst
wooden ships in our little Navy and
their loss will be severely felt. The

And be not drunk with wino, wheroin

Prohibition.
Messrs. Editors:
As this prohibition struggle seems
to be a free fight, I thought yon might
not obieot to mv taking a hand with
the rest.
The number of writers who favor
the continuation of tho liquor traflio re
minds rao of snme things which hap
pened some years ago when temper
anco aooieties were rather numerous;
ho much so that liquor selling and hq
uor drinking in some places was not
considered very resneotable.
Tho whiskey party then as now took
considerable pains to tell ns now use
ful wlmky was, and how needful U
was for mau's woll being. And got to
calling the temperance aien cranks and
fanatics, fco.
Some person by way of retaliation
wrote- a poem for the cold-water boys
to sing, and as it seems to me to be as
appropriate now as then I shall quote
ono verse of it:
Wbca Satan saw bis cause a falling,
Wives and widows no more walling,
He sent bis lops around us yelling,
Keep on, keep on, dou't quit selling.
Ono of your correspondents seems to
favor the present licenso law on ac
count of the convenience it is to the
poor man. Now this sounds very nice.
I have read some where of a blessing
being pronounced upon those who con
mder the poor. Whether it is this
kind of consideration may bo exceed
ingly doubtful. From some things I
have noticed it has a very suspicious
look to me. Wo havo all had opportu
nities of noticing what a convenient
plaoo the lutel or saloon is for some
poor men to invest their hard earnings.
We have most of us knon instance''
when the proprietor ha vry consid r
ately accepted tho pour man's last dol
lar when his wife and children weie
lacking both food aud olothing, and in
return he has given him what ho
know was raining him both body and
soul for time and eternity. If this is
kinduees to tho poor man, may the
Lord delivermo from all sich kindness.
Wo have all known instances when
men hae been made poor and kept
poor by frequenting dram shops, but
did anyono ever know a singln poor
man to bo beoefitod by visiting such
places! Wo think not.
Men sometimes quo'e the Apostle
Paul's advicrt to Timothy as an excut
or justification for tippling. Wo fro
quentlv hear it remarked when some
thing has been said or done, which iVa
Irave inlustico to a person who is
dead, that it is enough to mako him
taririn uls grave. It such turning
ever takes place I could well imagine
that that apostle must be getting a
Iittlo restless.
Paul never advised a well mant to
drink oven wine. Ho aevir advised
Timothy or auy one else to drink lager
boer or whisky. This is apparent
from the fact that tho Devil had not
yet invented either heir or whisky,
and did not until some considerable
time afterwards, I have no doubt tho
Old Chan would havo considered him
self slandored at that time, if some ono
had told that he over would Invent
such vilo drinks with wbioh to do

For Urn COLCHBUX.
Noting your reproduction of Ex
Governor Aodrews anti-prohibition
argument of 1867, published in your
issno of the 22 instant, with your in
dulgcnce we would be pleased to criti
cise it somewhat in behalf of prohibi
tion.
The reader will observe that he says
in effect that Prohibition aims, by
pains and penalties, to banish a legiti
mate article of diet from the table of
an American citizen; an article whioh
every nation aud all history has given
place among the necessities and luxur
ies of society; an articlo whioh the lav
does not pretend to exclude from com
mercial articles. And he holds thero
fore that prohibition would be fatal to
liberty. Without quoting Mm verbat
im we have endeavoured to put no
misconstruction upon his words.
But will the prohibitory amendment,
if carried by the majority, banish any
thing from the table that we may
ohooso to put there, whother meat or
driok, or whether it be nutritious or
enervating'dieiT We think not; and
wo think tho ex-Governor thinks not.
And since moral evolutions ensue, as
well as political revolutions, in accor
dance with the requirements of the
times, perhaps the Governor is a Kills
late in his assumption that alcohol is
to-day a "legitimate article of diet" on
the American tabic. Not ouo Ameri
can table in a thousand, we will ven
ture to say, would tolerate its daily
presenoe whother properly regarded as
"legitimate diet" r not. In fact no
geueral law is now ncedod to banish it
lrom the American table; for it has
largely banished itself by force of
moral suasion. It has been exiled
from homo along with tho jug of tho
harvestfiuld, the jug of the house and
barn-raisiug, the jug of tho stone-pick-ing,
of tho stump-pulling and corn
cutting, etc. oto. It is in the dim vis
tas, and among the brutalities of the
past, aloug with the bull fights of the
gladiators, and the gouged eyes and
bit-off noses ami ears of our grand
fa. her's days. In a general sense, the
father and mother at tbo head and fotl
of the American table have long since
obsurvtd, to their sorrow, tbo ensnar
ing and delusive qualities of this
''legitimate article of diet," and some
how thoy dou't tako to it as havagely
as their fathers did. Peihaps we are
retrograding in this one respect while
advancing in all others; and then again,
perhaps o are not.
No; ihuie is uo.hing in the phrase
ology of the prohioitory amenduu nt,
nor is thero likely to bi anything in
tho enactments based upon it, that will
interfoie in the spread of any man's
table, nor with his privato eating or
drinking. On tho other hand we hope
and believe that many tables will have
more on them. We hope and believe
that the farmer, (the producer of God's
bounties of nature, the first and most
worthy ot all commercial factors,) may
gut a fairor proportion of the 600,000,
000 now worse than wasted annually
rotting his cereals to produce alcohol.
Wo hopo and beliuvo many tables will
g tin in wholesome eatibles much that
is now spent at largo in debasing
drinkables, away from the sight of wife
and children, in cowardly shame.
. After the adoption of the Constitu

prohibitory laws in accordance there
with, an ex-Governor, or tho bmubjert
sovereign of this stale, may still spread
hir bread with oleomargarine or lim
berger cheese; he may still have "Jersey
lightning" on his tablo if he wants to;
and, without offending tho law in the
least, he may sweeten it with sugar-of
load, and stir it up with a stick of
caustic, if ho chooses, His "innards"
wid still be his own; and his constitu
tional right to warm them, if he wants
to, will not be infringed. If I uoder

when he warms his neighbors "innards"
