WASHINGTON LETTER

The Free Trade Domocracy on Top—ReDu'olicaus and the Oomu.MttM.e- No Jobs This Winter[Corresp, of Tin* Journal.!'

WASHINGTON,

Deo. 10, 1H!W.—'The

free rude head of the jmooruey is now at tho top. Gentlemen shaping the policy of this political organization have over had a sort ot DJekyll aud Mr. Hyde existence. Now tho counterfeit has been discarded, tariff even for revenue has become a past issue, and the clear cut tree traders say Mr. Mills, their champion, must bo Speakor of tho next House of Representatives. Democrats have come to the conclusion that an election aot will be passed. In the Senate they are simply talking against time, not with the expectation of preventing uotion on the measure to sooure honest elections, but to stave off the final consideration of an apportionment law until the next Congress. With this purpose in view thoy stand ready to talk anything and everything to death. It may, therefore, still be ueecessary to apply Speakor Reed's business rules to Senatorial deliberations.

Republican members, who uro returned to the next Congress, area httlo bit exercised over the prospect

abend

for them. In fuct, as Speaker Heed expressed it, one ami all will have to work like beavers. Just think of it! There aro ouiy eighty-eight Republican elected to the next Houte ot Representatives aud there are exactly sixty committees. Now us everybody knows, it is in tho committees whore all legislation is shaped. When it is brought into the House everything is cut aud dried for aution. Importance it is,in consequence, tnit a good Republican contingent shall bo uttaohodas tuo tuil ot each commit tee, particularly the business ones. With the parties about evenly divided no one man serves on more than two, or at the most throe committees, and if he does his hands aro full. But in the next Congress the Republicans must of necessity double up. The committees aro composed of from nine to fifteen members, except a very few, aud the minority is entitled to just a little less than half of this representation. Take an average of six then, as the minority's quota, and here would be over fouroonimitteos for each Republican. It will bo worse than this, however, as all the leading committees meet almost daily and the most of them twice a week, the business hours of which must be before the House assembles, aud heuce the experienced men can serve on but few of them. Altogether, there is hard work ahead for those Ropublioaus who aro so fortunate, or unfortunate, as to be members of the Fifty-seoond Congress.

There will be no "jobs" this Winter. The edict has gone forth that nothing but straight goods will pass inspection. Tho lobby, therefore is already down in the mouth. is a disappointment to the gentlemen of the third House, too, as it is usually at the fiual session where they get in their fine work.

Arlington is tho fiual home of the volunteer soldier who dies in wan away from the friends of his early man' hood. Congress appropriates each sessiou to cover the funeral expenses of the Republic's dead. High and low, rich aud poor, known and unknown, all join tho silent army.

Congressmen have beeu here long enough to get settled, and to-day for the first time appeared the list ol mem her and Senators with their places of abode attached. Seuators, as a rule, keep house, the compiler, iu oonsequence did not have to wait for tbem. With tho representatives of the people it is different.

Two reasons induce members to "housekeep" during the long session, first a surplus of oash whioh leads them to entertain handsomely, and, secondly, a scarcity of the same article, as 't is cheaper to live comfortably with a family iu rented furnished house than it is to exist unoomfortably on the top tloor of some second class hotel.

During the last session things are changed. Most of the members do not bring their f-iuiilies for the few mouths' stay, and as a result the board around, mostly in hotels. Hence the boarding place will sport more congressmen this session than they did last.
