THE WASHINGTON LETTER.
(Kioni Our Hi'Kiilur Cirrivmiik-nt )
W ahiiinu ton, D. C, Jink i. moo.
All aboard for nl j r m 1 1 1 m -mi t !
Congress haw completed its work ex
cept tho fug ends cunsiHtiiig of dis
agreements between IIimi.su nml Sen
ntii on (lie se iii-iil i'ems in two ap
propriation biiis which are now In
course of settlement, nnd ndjourn
lnont this week is n certainty, nl
though the Senate hns not yet adopt
ed tin House resolution, which pro.
vidos for ml jnimmient Wednesday.
While there lire several measures
unnoted upon whfe'h ninny Republi
cans would like to have seen passed
nt this session, taken ns n w hole,
the work of the session has heen
satisfactory to tho Republicans, and
the record made is one upon which
thoy will be prnud to stand during
the coming campaign.
Tho Senate by unanimous consent
agreed that the Nicaragua Canal bill
should be taken tip December 10,
Hiid remain the unfinished business
until disposed of. That shows how
far ont. of tho way me those w ho
have been saying that tho Republi
can leaders in the Benate did not in
tend to allow that bill to pass. Tne
hill would have been passed before
adjournment, if it could have been
done without an extended debate
which would have dragged the ses
sion into midsummer. It. was (lis.
covered some time ago that there
was an agreement among Democra
tic Senators opposed to the Nicara
gua canal, who are more numerous
than is generally known, to prolong
the session indefinitely, if an attempt
was made to bring it to a vote.
That and other good reasons made
the Republicans willing to allow the
bill to go over.
If the Democratic party had the
slightest regard for consistency, it
would, after the Pemoerntio mem
bers of the House defeated the joint
resolution proposing n constitution
al amendment giving Congress pow
er to regulate t runts. The Republi
cans did not keep mnm on the sub
ject of trusts. Tho Republicans did
have votes enough to adopt the res
olution, two-thirds being required
for that class of legislation, and only
five Democrats had the nerve to defy
their party caucus mil vote' with
the Republicans for the resolution,
which loft the vote 38 shoit of tho
requisite two-thirds. Representa
tive Littlefleld, of Maine, made
another great speech on this ques
tion in which he scoied the Demo
cratic party for the record of its
leaders, including Mr. Bryan, on
trusts and trust legislation, closing
with these words : "We are ready
to go the people in November and
to submit their candid common
sense judgement whether the Pom"
ocratic party that has proved itself
incompetent to deal with this ques
tion. shall be trusted, or the Repub
lican party. If tne people of this
country shall register their verdict
in accordance with tho proposition
that you can fool some of the people
nil the time and all of the people
some of the time, but you cannot
fool all of the people all of the time,'
then, when the sun sun rises upon
the morning that sees William Mc
Kinley's renomination in Philadel
phia, it will be as the sun of Auster
lit a, illumined by the honor of the
Republican party." Everytime a
domooraticdoniagoguo howls against
trusts, he should be confronted
with the vote on this resolution,
tho most practical anti-trust legis
lation that has been before Congress,
and asked why the Democrats de
feated it.
In the Equity branfU of the Sup
remo Court of the District of Co
lumbia, Justice Barnard imposed a
fine of $100, and costs Uon Mr.
E. G Siggers, for contempt, in fail
ing to obey an order of Court for
bidding him to advertise himself as
successor to or in any way' connect
ed with C. A. Snow and Co., Patent
Lawyers, of Washington, D. C.
Senator Hanna surprised both his
enemies and his friends when he
jumped into a running debate on the
Naval Appropriation bill and tackled
Senators Wellington, Tillman, Alien
Pettigiew and Teller, and got the
best of each of them, and proved
that he could take care of himself
iu that most dangerous af all Sena
torial fights, a tunning debate.

McKinlny's Latest Portrail
A short time ago President Mc
Kinley sat for a photograph, which
he has pronounced the best ever se
cured. A copy of this' portrait, in
colors, with facsimile of the Presi
dent's signature, on each picture, will
he given free with every copy of the
great "Philadelphia Sunday Press"
next Sunday (June 10). It is a sou
venir every one is certain to prize,
both because of its merit as a work of
art nnd its timeliness, in view of the
fact that McKinloy is certain to he
renominated at the National Conven
tion week after next. The size of the
pictue is 14 by 20 inches, and every
one will be perfect. The demand
will lie great; hence it wil be well to
order next Sunday's "Press" early.

It hasn't any cable direct from old

But it says that "Col. Ilraggins is in
our midst to-day."
It doesn't seem to worry about affairs
of state,
But it tells that "Joseph Hawkins
has painted his front gate."
It never mentions Kruger or Joseph

But says tnat "Thompson's grocery
has a new window pane."
And that "the Mission Workers will

And there'll lie a temperence lecture

And says thnt lrcl Johnson "has be

It mentions Dewey's coming in one

And says that Charlie Trimble "has

Acetylene Illumination.
Bulletin No. 57 on the application
of acetylene illumination to country
homes is being sent out by the State
Department of Agriculture, and it
contains many valuable suggestions
and much interesting information for
those who contemplate using this
method of lighting. There are 70
different generators approved by un
derwriters of the Middle Department
a id 30 approved by underwriters
elsewhere.
The cost of a thirty-light installa
tion varies from so. to $175. The
bulletin says It is false economy to
turn down the ordinary burner, as
this causes the air injection to refuse
to work, brings the flame nearer the
burner heats and causes it to become
clogged and smoky. The residum
is stated to be of value for application
to the soil one ton Unng emiivaient
to 100 bushels of lime.
