WASHINGTON LETTEE
Washington, Dec. 26, 1S92.
Speaker Crisp was one of the few
piominent democratic Congressmen
who ate their Christmas dinner in
Washington. This week he will go
to New York for a few days, and there
by hangs a tale, that is very discom
forting to those gentlemen who have
been working overtime concocting
stories showing why President elect
Cleveland would oppose Mr. Crisp's
election as Sneaker of the ' next
House. Mr. Crisp goes to New York
upon Mr. Cleveland's personal in
vitation to confer with the president
elect about legislation that is to come
before the present 1 louse , the extra
session question and the organization
of the next House ; and now the
question is being asked, why should Mr.
Cleveland wish to confer with the
Speaker if he is opposed to his rc
election by the next House ? It
seems to be a repetition of the old
story somebody went oil half-cocked.
The populist members of Con
gress from Kansas have evidently
heard from home. At first they
were discreetly silent about the
alleged candidacy of Mrs. Lease for
the Senate: now they openly ridicule
it, characterizing it as simply a re
publican scheme to make the popu
lists ridiculous.
Senator Hill is a member of the
Senate committee on Immigration,
and he does not agree with the ideas
of the maioritv of that minimis na
to the legislation necessary. He will
soon atter the reasssmb insr of ( in
gress present his views in the shape of

jss, and the attempt to bring about
;t suspension, either by the passage
Senator Hill's bill for an outright
repeal of the Sherman law, or by the
adoption of Senator Mcpherson's re
solution authorizing the President in
his discretion to suspend the pur
chase of silver bullion, will bt the
signal for the music to begin. The
free coinage men say they do not
propose to allow any suspension of
the purchase of bullion, unless a free
coinage bill be passed.
Notwithstanding recent extraord
inary efforts of the republicans to de
feat the will of the people, it is the
general belief here, republicans in
cluded, that the democrats will
organize and control the Senate of
the next Congress.
Both those who oppose and those
who favor the proposed amendment to
the World's Fair act, of the last
session, allowing the exposition to be
opened on Sunday, claim to have
polled the House, and both sides
claim to have a majority of votes
uledged. It is going to be a red hot
filit and four (lays 10, to 13, of
January, inclusive have been set a
part by the House F.xpoiition com
mittee to hear arguments for and
against I he proposed amendment.
It is the impression of experienced
observers of things Congressional that
the amendment will be adopted by a
small margin in both House and
Senate, but there seems to be 1 doubt
as to whether Mr. Hairison will ap
prove. Strange to say the most of the
opposition to Senator Vest's bill
directing the Postmister General to
make a ten year contract for carry
ing the mails, at existing Kites, with
the proposed Chicago and St. Louis
electric railway, as soon as that com
pany is ready to guarantee that they
shall be transported at a speed ol not
less than 100 miles an hour, comes
from those who fear accidents to
travellers at that high rate of speed.
Queer argument, that, fer this rushing
age.
It looks row as though Mr. Blaine

Before the retirement of Governor
Pattison from office Pennsylvania
will practically be out of debt. Ac
cording to the annual statement of
State Treasury Morrison and Auditor
General Gross; the ret debt at the
close of the li.-cal year ended Novem
ber 30 last was fj.o.coJ.!;-;, The
debt is being reduced ;it the rate of!
near.y a million and a half dollars
annually, while the ordinary receipts
from taxes are largely increasing.
Although an increase of $3,000 000
was paid to the school districts of the
State last year, there was a bJance in
the general fund of the State
Treasury on November 30 last of
S5'39Vo'.-S6 The receipts from all
sources last year were not as large as
during the twelve months ended on
November 30, 1891, but the difference
is due to the large amount then re
ceived from the national government
and favorable litigation.
The receipts last year were $10,-748,759-oS,
while the payments
aggregated $11,726,968.68. The
State debt was reduced $1,417,106

Knrly Hull way Traveling.
Tho first regular train service in this
country commenced on the Liverpool
aud Manchester Railway on Friday,
September 17, 1830, two days after the
opening of the lino. It was not on a
very ambitious scale; three trains each
way 011 week days aud two on Sundays
were deemed quite sullieieut. The nov
elty of the thing, however, at first, aud
vory soou its proved safety aud effici
ency, led at oueo to a much larger traf
fic than had been anticipated, aud as
tho company could obtain rolling
stock thu bcrvitiu was increased. For a
time the people who hud ventured to
risk their lives by tho now mode of con
veyance were the objects of admiration
for their courage or of contempt for
their foolhardiuess; but one by one tha
conches had to bo taken oil' tho road
and everybody weut by rail.
Tho time occupied in the journey was
at first more thau two hours, and often
less, the distance being; thirty-ouo mile3
but even this rato was too fast for some
people, for u gentleman, writing about
sis weeks after tho opening of tho hue,
says tho speed was too great to be
plea aut aud caused him to feel some
what fcidJy. The traveling was not
very comfortable undoubtedly; tha
couches were at first only coupled with
chains, as wagons are now, so that they
jerked tho unfortuuato passengers
nearly off their Beats at starting and
clashed violently aguiust each other
when the driver put on his brake.
When fairly in motion, if the apeed wa3
any but the slowest the very short
wheel base produced a pitching action

been a short one it would have seriously

Tli Ono-Crnt Coin.
Few of the present generations have
any knowledge how the preseut one
cent piece cumo into circulation. Prior
to tho civil war the coin which repre
sented one cent weighed exactly half an
ounce. There were plenty in circula
tion for the population at that time.
But when the war broke out it seemed
as if coins of all denominations Lad
been swullowed up. Tokens of various i
kinds were made first of cardboard I
tUen of metal. 1
A small coin about the sizo of tha
preseut one-cent piece was produced,
tiuviug upon it various devices such us
" Not one-cent," ' Good enough for do
fence," " Our country forever." From
six hundred to oue thousand vaiiedos
of these tokens were made and issued.
As they were tukeu to represent a
cent by everybody, those who had cop
per enough on baud, nud could m-i.in
or procure moulds or dies, realized a
good profit from the making und i-sit-ing
of these tokens. Tho si.'u j.iid
weight were convenient, ami the Ui. i.e..
States Government saw that thu peo.o
were better pleased with tho r.i.uii.er
piece, although comparatively VH.hn ie.sf,,
than with tha one-half ounce coin.
As the object was to keep thu s:'
sidiury cii is in the country, and at. tue
peojde wire contout to use tnu snni'ier
pieces, the experiment was tried in 1110
issue of the "turkey buzzard" mixed
niekel cent. They were larger, thicker,
and heavier than the preseut cunt, and
did not please as well as the tokens li id
pleased. After trying two or three is.

A German doctor has started a theory
that most drunkards cun be cured by a
very simple and pleasant course of
treatment, namely, by eating apples at

possess properties which entirely do
away with the craving that all con
firmed drunkards have for drink. Tho
doctor says that iu many bad cases
which have come under his notice ho
has been aide to effect a cure by this
means, the patient gradually losing all
