Our Washington Letter.
Special to tlie Enr-mtLiuAW.
Washington, D. C, Jan. 24, 79.
The National Capital will suffer
with very few cities either at home or
abroad, by a comparison of vital sta
tistics, such as are published by our
Health Office. Indeed, with the ex
ception of the colored population, few
cities of its size will show a lower av
erage of mortality; and it only re
quires a lour for a few hours personal
observation among the class excepted
to make the causes of the appalling
death rate that prevail among thera
clearly apparent. This being conced
ed explodes the charges and insiuua.
tions of "Washington's exceptionally
unhealthy climate which have been
advanced by some correspondents here
w ho start out with that theory so man
ifestly at variance with the facts, to
account for the excessive mortality
among Congressmen this session. With
the few exceptions of those from our
large cities, the men seut here as Sen
ators and Representatives are to a
great extent unaccustomed to the in
toxicating tendencies of the society
maelstrom in which they find them
selves on their advent here. Not a
few of them have lost their mental bal
ance by their political success before
leaving home. Their position gives
them the entree iutothe "best society,"
i. e., where every hygienic law is ig
nored. Turning night ioto day, eat
ing and drinking to exceks, are some
of its most constant features. At a
tima in life when sudden changes in
the habits and usages of a lifetime are
nlways attended with risk, they at
tempt to "do as the Romans do."
They jump at one bound from the at
mosphere of their comparatively une
ventful village lif'a into the unhealthy,
exciting one of this great political cen
tre, subject to the most violent vicissi
tudes. To-day is all wild excitcigut ;
to-morrow comes the inevitable de
pression. The temptation to resort to
stimulants is always present and is too
often yielded to ; and many a man has
ended his one or two terras in Con
gress a confirmed toper, who started in
a teetotaller. No man, however large
his reserved vitality, can go through
the wear and tear of one Congressional
season without feeling the deleterious
effects of the imprudences of which tho
average Congressman is guilty ; add
to this several terms, taking into ac
count the frequent and prolonged de
bauchta in which not a few members
have indulged, and the wonder is that
so few succumb to the fatal ending
they constantly invite. The lack of
ventilation in the House and Senate
Chambers undoubtedly have their ef
fect. We are, in some sections f the
city, subject to malarial influences
Uncomplicated pneumonia is not es
teemed a very fatal disease save with
the very young or old, or those broken
down by previous dissipation. But it
is one of the prevalent winter ailments
here, and it occasionally claims a vie
tim among Congressmen who have set
the laws of health at defiauce as above
indicated. Then it must be remem
bered that men not infrequently come
to Congress already suffering with in
curable diseases, and the fatal termi
nation is doubtless often hastened by
the coursa of life pursued here. Alto
gether, we can account for many of
the deaths in the Congressional delo
galions that are here from year to year,
without a resort to libels on the climato
of Washington.
Congress soems to bavt reached that
point in its dealings with the Hunting
ton-Gould Pacific R. R. ring, where ii
must assert its superiority to this crea
ture of its generosity and easy indul
geuce, or abandon all pretentions to
any right of control over it. It has
always shown itself impatient of any
mtraiot, and has grown openly defi
ant since Congress seriously attempted
to restrict it within reasonable limits
Ita army of able lawyers have usually
shown themselves smarter than those
in Congress, and it has gone on evad
ing or ignoring the nietes and bounds
to which it has been nominally limited
Now comes an effort by the lobby
it maintpfns here to secure the repea
of last winter's law, requiring both the
Central and Union roads to set aside
a portion of their annual earnings to
r.M.xi- fldv,i)'' a Government inada
them. It is evident that many now
favor Government aid to the ex tout
asked by the bill before Congress to
the Texas Pacific road, believing a
competing line the most certain way
of reaching and breaking down a con
solidated monopoly, which has shown
such ingenuity in evading the most di
rect efforts made to curb and make it
amenable to law. The West Virginia
legislature and a commercial conven
tion just held in Chicago have peti
tioned Congress to that effect.
The Mormon woman lobby nowhere
to save polygamy will fail. Due heed
las been given to their representa
tions of the outlawed condition of the
wives and children of Mormon Utah
in case the Supreme Court decision is
permitted to stand, in Senator Chris-
tiancy's bill. But no backward step
is likely to be taken by Congress, and
polygamy and the tyrannical and
bloody rule of the Mormon Church
seems in a way of gradual but sure
extinction.
E. K. THOMSON'S GREAT 1IEA L-
ING OINTMENT.
This certifies, that from childhood I
mve suffered extremely at times with
Chilblains on my heels, causing run
ning sores, so that pieces as large as a
ten cent scrip would often peel off.
After using all kinds of remedies', 60
called, I made an application of Great
lealing Ointment, which effectually
cured me, and in my case I consider it
orth twenty times its cost. Sogreat-
y did I suffer I have often taken off
my boot3 and traveled barefoot in the
enow. T. P. McKEE.
