WAHINGTON LETTER.
Washington, September 6, 1895.
Who will he the Democratic candidate
next year? That question is asked of
every prominent Democrat who comes
to Washington these days, for the talk
of nominating President Cleveland for a
third term is considered meaningless !>\
most Democrats. The three nun who
are oftoncst named for that honor are
ex-Secretary Whitney, of New York. Sec
retary Carlisle, of Kentucky, and lion.
William 11. Morrison, of Illinois, either I
of whom would make a good candidate
and a good president. Other gentlemen
are named, but one of the three will be
nominated. Representative Tucker, of j
Virginia, who was in Washington this
week, named two of them in expressing
his opinion. He said: "We are going
to nominate one of two men for presi
dent. It will he either Carlisle or Mor
rison. The silver men will probably op
pose Carisle more determinedly than
they would Mwrrision. He will bo
stronger in the east, however, and the |
fact that he is southern man will be
enought to give him the sentiment of
of that section. I suppose the west
will be more favorable to Morrison and
that silver men would be better satisfied
with him."
Secretary Herbert has given Admiral
Kirkland a sharp official reprimand for
a hit of flunkeyisin which he was guilty of
during the celebration attending the
opening of the Baltic canal. When the
admiral, his staff, and the officers of the
cruiser New York were all drawn up on
the bridge of that vessel to receive a
visit from Emperor William, Admiral
Kirkland noticed that Rev. 11. 11. Clark,
chaplain of the New York, wore his
ordinary clerical garments, lie directed
Captain Evans ("Fighting Bob"), com
mander of the New York, to order the
chaplain to go below because he was not
in special full dress uniform. Evans
demurred, 011 the ground that the chap
lain had on the only dress provided for
him by the naval regulations, and that
being an officer he was entitled to the
right of remaining on the bridge. Ad- ;
miral Kirkland thereupon gave Captain '
Evans a peremptory order to send the
chaplain below and, of course, Evans
was obliged to obey. Chaplain Clark
made a complaint to the department,
forwarding a full statement of the atfair.
accompanied by one from Captain
Evans.
The Democratic congressional com- I
mitiee does not as a rub* take any part
in strictly state campaigns, but the cam
paign in Utah, which will send two
United States senators and one repre
sentative to congress, has been made an
exception, and the committee has been
aiding the Utah Democrats in every
way possible. In view of the vote at
the last territorial election —Republican j
21,000, Democrat, 19,000. and I'opulist
500 —neither party has any reason to j
feel over-conlident of the result of the |
present campaign. The only thing ah- J
solutely certain about Utah is that its j
congressional delegation will he solid
for silver, and that one of the new sena
tors will be a Gentile and one a Mormon.
The congressional delegation will he for
silver because it would be impossible for
either party to elect any other, and the
leaders of both parties have agreed
about the senators.
Secretary Morton has not a very high
opinion of the business sense displayed
in some of the legislation of the last con
gress, as he has shown by his refusal to
spend sLQfi,ono appropriated to buy seeds
for free distribution. He this week !
cited another instance of bad business !
legislation. Congress authorized a new
edition of what is popularly know as the
"Horse Book." These books will cost
the government about 60 cents each,
and Secretary Morton says the same
quantity could have been bought from
the dealers in government publications, j
who buy largely from congressmen, for '
40 cents each. Secretary Morton is not
alone in thinking such legislation un
businesslike.
General Coppinger, who is now in
Washington, says that neither the Wy
oming settlors nor the Bannock Indians
were to blame for the Jackson Hole In
dian troubles, but the migratory class
known as "Rustlers" were at the bottom
of the whole business. General Coppin
ger favors annexing the Jackson Hole
region to Yellowstone National Park,
but in view of the probable opposition
from Wyoming it is not probably that
Secretary Latnont will make such a re
connnedation to congress. S.

clothier, is where you should buy you

CONGRESSMAN HENDERSON'S STORY
How Congressman Sorg Laid the Founda
tion of His Fortune—The First Case of
Importance Congressman Cooper of In
diana Ever Tried.
[Copyright, 1595.]
A veteran of the late war who bears in I
Ids body evidences of having been In the
thick of tbo fight is David I>. Henderson,
t-lio eloquent congressman from lowa. "I
don't, mind confessing to you that I am a
coward," said Mr. Henderson one day in
talking of his army experiences. "I have I
heard many 111011 tell about faring the on- j
emy in battle without any feeling of fear. !
I didn't. Either they were lying or lam
a coward. If I had not boon always in
command of a company, I believe 1 should
have mndo a break more than once. OJli- :
cors don't deserve any reputation for cour
nON. D. B. HENDERSON,
ago any way. It is pride with them, not
bravery. They would dodge if they could, |
but they are afraid. With a whole com- !
pany of men behind you and watching
your every movement an officer lias to '
stand up and bo a man. I was always an
officer and was a colonel before I was 24, I
but 1 had lost my leg meanwhile.
"The most touching incident of t-lio war
feeling under my observation was a very i
simple one," continued General Header- ,
son. "It was not a great drama, not a
stirring chargo or aet of exalted heroism,
and yet one of those little touches of hu- i
man nature, one of those glimpses into the?
love of human hearts that are us rare as
they are beautiful. In tin? charge at Don- I
elson I was knocked over with a broken
jaw and carried off to 'the field hospital. It
appeared that they classified the wounded
according to the nature of tlicir hurts. All
who had been wounded in the body were \
placed ill one tent, those hit in the legs in
another and those struck in the head in a
third. In the tent to which they carried
me all the patients were suffering injuries
in the head. As I looked about I saw that
one of my fellow patients was a mere hoy
of 10 or 17. Though the lower part of his j
face was bandaged and the blood was ,
soaking through, his eyes and forehead I
were visible. They were such blue eyes, j
tho forehead was so white and smooth,
that I half suspected tho poor sufferer was ,
a girl. The tent was as silent as a grave, j
Plenty of the sufferers were in agony, but i
not a moan was heard. There was not a
man in the lot who could speak, and the ;
attendant had steppod out for a few 1110- '
ments, when tho tent flap was thrown j
back and I heard a young voice, choking 1
with emotion;
"'Charley! Charley! Are you in here,
Charley? Where are you?'
"There was no reply. The inquirer ;
seemed to overlook the fact that, none of
us could speak. He repented his inquiry, !
and receiving no reply was about to turn j
away when I happened to glance at the '
poor hoy of whom I have spoken. I will
never forgot the expression in that part of
his face which I could see. It was mln- I
gled joy and agony. I thought I could see
recognition in his eyes as ho glanced to-I
ward the tent door. 110 made convulsive j
efforts to speak, which I knew cost him
terrible pains and started the blood surg- !
lug through his bandages. It all flushed
upon mo. Here wore two brothers, one
terribly wounded, the other looking for!
him, hut in danger of missing him 011 ac- '
count of tho mute response. Then it was j
I summoned my strength for one of the!
greatest efforts of my life. I managed to
make just noise enough to attract the at
tention of the young man, who had closed
the tent flap and started away. He re
turned and eagerly asked:
" 'Who spoke? I heard a voico. Where
was it?'
"I managed to attract his attention in
my direction and then looked toward the
cot of the hoy soldier. His eyes followed
mine, and in a few seconds ho leaped for
ward with a cry which will ring in my
oars to my dying day:
"'Charley I Charley! My little brother 1'
"He placed his head beside that of the i
poor sufferer. He fondled the blue eyed j
boy with all the tenderness if a loving
woman. When ho lifted his face, I saw
that, his cheek was covered with his broth- j
cr's blood.
" 'Oh, my poor little brother! My brave !
little brother!' he exclaimed. 'Why did
you not heed our mother's prayers and |
stay at home? Why did you not stay with
her instead of running away to the war
after me?'
"There was 110 responso to this chiding j
of love, none except a look from tho blue !
eyes into his brother's. One soldier up- j
peared to understand. The soul of one j
young patient looked into that of another.
"'I understand it, Charley. I under
stand,' ho said tenderly. 'You felt you '
must come to the front and fight too. You
wanted to help save the country. You
wore unhappy at homo while I was here.
Bless you, my brave hoy!'
"The young sufferer looked up with a
grateful expression. Ho had been under- !
stood, and that was enough. Tears of !
pride stood in his eyes, and Ids brother put
ids fuco down again, jtuil like a woman to
her babe's.
"Tlmt was the end of the story, the con- '
elusion of tho simple tale, so far as my in- !
formation goes. In a few minutes tho at- |
tendant returned, the young patient was
taken away, and I never heard another
thing about him. I don't doubt, however, :
that lie quickly gave up his sweet young
life, for the whole lower part of Ids face
was shattered."
Foundations For a Fortune.
Congressman Sorg of Ohio, who was
noted as the richest man in tho last eon- !
gress, tells an interesting story of how ho
luid the foundation of his fort lines. "When j
ahout 12 years old," said Mr. Surg, "my
father died and I had to go to work to
maintain a largo family. I was first ap
prenticed to a molder, but afterward went
to work in a tobacco factory, and it was in
tho tobacco business that I nuido my first
money. Early in tho sixties a new tariff
bill passed congress, increasing the tax on
tobacco. There was a great rush to have
large quantities of tobacco made up before
tho higher rates went into effect. A young
man, a friend of mine and foreman in tho
factory, received an offer to take charge of
a now factory which had boon opened to
take advantage of tho opportunity offered
for largo profits on manufactured tobacco.
My friend was to keep things running day
and night until the new law went into
operation, for which he was offered a sal
ary and part of tho profits. It was a busy
time in the tobacco business.
"I knew one man who mado $30,000 on
a singlo contract. He had undertaken to
furnish a certain number of boxes of to
bacco, and fixed his price so that if ho only
finished half the number by tho time tho
old tariff rate expired he could afford to
pay the increased tax on tho other half out
of his profits, but luckily for him the gov
ernment delayed putting tho now tariff
law into effect for 510 days, and he mado an
enormous profit on tho whole contract.
This was a piece of luck, and it frequently
happens that people who are in a hurry to
make big profits pay more in the. end than
if they lmd waited, as in the case of tho
whisky people, who were badly bitten by
tho recent tariff. Tho whisky people drew
out largo quantities of spirits, tho market
was overstocked, notes became duo and
they lost money finally. They would have
been much better off if they had allowed
tho whisky to stay in bond and paid the 20
cents extra tax to the government.
"Well, to return to tho sixties," contin
ued Mr. Sorg. "My friend kept his fac
tory running day and night, and when it
was finally closed after the new law went
into operation tho owners compromised
with him for $51,000 as his shave of tho
profit. Ho and I then started in business
for ourselves on that capital. Tho business
was necessarily small at first, and after
buying machinery wo had just enough
money left to buy one hogshead of tobacco.
Wo mado that up, and then had to shut
down the factory until wo could sell it,
and as tho market was overstocked it was
some time before wo could dispose of it.
With tho returns of our sale we bought an
other lot of tobacco, made that up and
again shut down until we could sell our
stock. Neither of us was known in tho
commercial world; consequently wo could
get no credit and were obliged to work
along slowly. Aft era time business picked
up, and wo became better known, hut in
two years my friend became tired of tho
business, anil I bought out his interest. I
hung on to the business, moving to Mid
dle!) urg about this time, aiul my factory
has been growing over since, until at tho
present time I employ over 1,000 hands,
My taxes to the government in a single
year have amounted to as high as $1,000,-
000. I calculate this as part of my invest
ment, and I get it hack from tho consum
ers."
Congressman Cooper's First Legal Victory.
1 A fowl bctweon town boys mul country
boys gave Congressman Cooper of Indiana ;
the opportunity to win ids legal spurs. (
: "The first ease of importance I over tried," j
j said the congressman, "and one which !
gave me a reputation throughout tho state, j
was in defense of Alfred Barren, the son j
of a widowed mother whose husband had j
j been killed at the battle of Shiloh. He [
was a country boy, and one day there was j
to bo some sort of a country festival. Tho !
J town boys sent down word that they were j
coming down to run things their own way.
j Among the town boys was the son of an
ex-county judge who had recently died.
They came down looking for troublo. Bar
ren was whittling a stick when the town
j boys set on him, teasing and badgering
j him, and finally the ex-judge's son reached
, out to hit him. Barren, with a quick
j movement, pushed his knife into tho boy,
J and he fell with a cry. He was ill for some
| time and finally died from malpractice, I
• believe, for the physician, instead of leav
, ing an opening for the pus of the wound !
' to escape, allowed the lips of the wound to |
I close up, and peritonitis set in, which re- j
suited in tho death of the boy. Thecountry
lad was put on trial for murder, and 1 de- !
fended him. In conducting my case I
j made the most of the facts that the town !
: boys had come looking for mischief and ;
that the mother was a widow and the fa
ther had died in the service of his country, i
1 offered the plea of self defense and ar- I
| gued that Barren had had no intention of
| inflicting a dangerous or fatal wound. |
The judge, however, apparently thought, it ;
! was his duty to stand by the son of his
predecessor, and I thought went out of
his way to insure conviction of Barren. Ho j
1 gave no less than 125 charges to the jury j
( and put them in such away that the jury 1
I could not do otherwise than convict. Upon i
failure of acquittal in the lower court I
appealed the case on the ground of preju- j
dice, as well as upon the fact that the
judge had not taken into consideration tho
point of intent to kill. The result was ac- !
; (piittal for my client and tho reprimand ol .
the judge." WALTER WELLMAN.
Tree Climbing Fish of India.
India has a species of troo climbing fish
whose agility is almost equal to that of the
! celebrated pike of Australia. This queer j
specimen of arboreal piscis is a member of
the perch family, anil is described in Ar- j
nold's "East Indian Fishes"' under tho ti- j
tie of "The Tree ('limbing Troaehos." Ac- I
cording to the authority cited, it rambles
about among tbo reeds and bumboosof the
Ganges valley, and has on several occa- I
sions been found perched upon a knot or J
in a rough place in the barks of the larger
trees more than a mile from the river. It
: is said to go on these tree climbing excur- j
sions in search of its favorite food, which
, consists of certain species of shell-less slugs
, and soft larva) of night flying insects. Its i
spines, which can be folded and unfolded {
1 at will, serve the creature in the place of i
claws. These spines, aided by the side fins '
and tail, all of which are very bony and j
stilT. enable the fish to slowly and awk- ;
wardly made his way up trees of any size.
He will tackle anything from a reed to a
giant lime tree, but usually selects rough
i barked trees, or those intwined with climb
ing vines.—St. Louis Republic.
United .States Supreme Court.
1 The courtroom in which the supremo
bench sits, though not a large apartment, !
is an impressive one and is one of the most
frequented of all the governmental depart
ments in Washington. No matter how
dull the details of tho case in hand the
room is always crowded, and there are few
visitors to the national capital who do not
make it a point to spend some time in tho
supreme courtroom. This is not at all sur
prising when it is remembered that the
judges of t his court are in a sense t he most
powerful men in the United States, since,
although congress makes the laws and the
president and his administration execute
them. it. is the supremo court that gives
the final interpretation of all disputed stat
utes.
BACHELOR'S TEA COZY.
One That Does Not Need to lie Reraovet*
When I'oaring Out.
! The plain, useful yet pretty tea cozy
shown in the illustration will be found
to make a nice present and be a real
boon to bachelors, who are apt to dis
tract their housekeepers or the house
hold where they may happen to be in
mates by keeping their meals waiting.
Yet so unreasonable a creature is man
that he expects always to find his tea or
coffee quite hot. For this purpose the
tea cozy is a real treasure, for it is well
calculated to retain heat. One of its
distinctive features is that it does not
need to be removed when pouring out,
so that the second cup will be just as
A PRETTY TEA COZY.
j hot as the first. Everyone knows that
much heat is lost by the removal of a
cozy even for a moment. The mate
rials consist of two contrasting shades,
two ounces each, of double llerlin
zephyr wool. Suge green with either
very pale sky blue or salmon pink looks
well, or else golden brown with prim
rose yellow, keeping all cases the pale
color for the lining and frill. Some
ribbon for a bow and twist around the
base of the frill is required for a finish;
this should match tho frill in color.
Take knitting needles No. 4, and
with tho darker shade for the out
jido cast on 89 stitches; work one row
plain. Then the rest is carried out in
j what is sometimes known as briacho
I stitch; this is worked by making one,
slipping one and taking up two, in
every row the same. The cozy is
worked in four sections, two for tho
outside and two for the lining. For
j each section use up one ounce of wool,
i reserving just enough to join up the
sides when finished. For the lining
; 2ast on 29 stitches instead of .19; this
I will give it additional length sufficient
for the frill at the top. In joining up
leave a slit on each side large enough
for tho bundle and spout to pass
j through, as shown in the illustration.
Nothing simpler than this mode of
making a tea cozy can well be imagined.
The finished effect, though plain, is
i dainty and pretty, while the thickness
| of the wool and the close stitch em
; ployed make it practical and useful.—

Dainty Linen for Dainty Women.
No dainty woman will ever make her
tablecloths and napkins by machine,
but will sew them by lmnd with the
neatest, finest stitches of which she is
capable, finishing the ends of the hem
with care. Napkins should have the
narrowest hems possible, done with
short, even stitches, and the family in
itial embroidered in tho corner, in
white only. Sonic women prefer to
mark napkins near the selvedge, half
way from each hemmed end. This en
ables one to fold the napkins fancifully
and displays the embroidery to great
advantage. In addition to the napkins
there are the little doylies which are
under finger bowls. These are ex
tremely pretty if simply scalloped in
white cotton around the edges. A sim
ple letter in the center is sometimes
used.
