There is a manifest, settled opinion
among many that the miscarriage of
justice is due, and of common occur
rence by reason of ignorant jurors
being selected to pass upon evidence
whose judgment is none too clear, or
Gable to become easily confused. Be
that as it may, observation has led to
the belief that the beneficiaries in liti
gation are not always those involved
in suits, prospective, or pending, wheth

of great or small magnitude ; that all

of the law it were about as well for

The Sunday School Holiday service
which was held in the Union church
on Saturday evening was a very in

spite the prevailing snow storm the
church was filled with an appreciative
audience who were lavish in their
praise of the exercises. The program
consisted of recitations, responsive
readings, class and concert exercises,
together with music, both vocal and
instrumental in carols, hymns, solos,
duets by the choir, and classes of the
Sunday School. Messrs. Sutton, Lau
bach, Cox and Kline of Benton, and
Mr. Ikeler, of Rohrsburg, rendered !
valuable assistance in the musical de

WASHINGTON LETTER.
(From our Regular Correspondent.)
Washington, Jan. i, 1894
President Cleveland, the members
of his cabinet and the ladies of their
families, in accordance with a custom
as old as our government, devoted
New Year's day to receptions, official
and general. For about four hours a
procession composed of the diplomatic
representatives of all foreign govern
ments, members of the cabinet, the
justices of the Supreme Court, Con-
gressmen, Army and Navy officers;
minor officials and the general public
poured through the White House
where they were received by President
Cleveland assisted by Mrs. Cleveland.
Mrs, Stevenson, the ladies of the cabi
net and several guests of Mrs. Cleve
land, includirg the wife of ex-Gov.
Russell of Massachusetts and Miss
Benedict, of N. Y. Later, receptions
were held at their several residences
by Vice President and Mrs. Steven
son, and by members of the cabinet
and the ladies of their families.
Nearly all the congressmen have re
turned. There was a quorum of both
House and Senate at the White House
reception to day. Ey freely circula
ting among the returned members of
the House your correspondent endea
vored to ascertain whether conference
with their constituents had increased
or decreased the opposition to the
Wi'son tariff bill. In one respect it is
apparent that it has increased it. That
is, there are more democrats who will
endeavor to secure, in the caucus to
be held, modifications of various claus
es of the bill. But, as nearly all of
them announce while stating their in
tentions that they will, whether suc
cessful in getting the bill modified or
not, support the bill, it is clear that
their opposition does not go beyond
that which it is perfectly legitimate for
strict party men to occupy towards a
party measure not yet approved by a
party caucus, and does not jeopardize
the final success of the bill as approv
ed by the caucus
Senator Voorhees is getting a heavy
mail these days, and not a few of his
letters contain requests for hearings
on the tariff before the Senate Finance
committee of which he is chairman.
None of these letters have been speci
fically answered, because he believes
that a circular letter which he is now
having sent out, containing thirty odd
printed questions and requesting a re
ply to each, will enable nine-tenths of
his correspondents to lay before the
committee all the information in their
possession relating to the effects of
tariff upon their business just as well
as they could if given a personal hear
ing. It is not his desire to cut any
one out of hearing and those desiring
to furnish information not embraced
by the printed questions will, where
their prominence as manufacturers or
business men justifies it, be given per
sonal hearings
Representative Hclman has not is
sued the call for a democratic caucus,
but it is expected that he will do so
this week.
It is known that President Cleve
land has lately given considerable at
tention to the selection of a new pub
lie printer and it is be ieved that he
has picked out the man and that his
1 nomination will go to the Senate in a
few day?, probably tins week. Rumor
has connected the name of Chief
Clcik Daniels of the Interior depart
ment with the position Mr. Daniels
was not an applicant for the position,
but his experience as editor and pub
lisher of newspapers in North Carolina
qualifies him, therefore should it turn
out that he is the lucky man. Nearly
every democratic Senator and Repre
sentative has a personal preference for
public printer but, they will all be sat
isfied to see the position filled by any
good democrat who will give the demo
crats a show at the three thousand
positions in the Government Printing
Ul'ice, a veiy large majority of which
is still tinea oy republicans.
A r.ew batch of rumors concerning
cabinet resignations are being sent out
by republican correspondents. There
is just about as much truth in them
as in those which have been periodi
cally sent out by the same men ever
since the present administration came
in.
No action is expected in the House
concerning the finances of the govern
ment until after the tariff bill has been
passed. In fact the Ways and Means
committee, which will prepare what
ever financial bill that may be deter
mined upon, will not have an oppor
tunity to devote any time to the mat
ter until the tariff is out of the way.
Representative Springer wishes it
understood that his bill for a new
national currency, which was made
public a few days ago, is simply his
own idea. The subject has not been
considered by the committee on Bank
ing and Currency of which he is chair
man. His principal object in making
the bill public was to invite criticism
and suggestions.
