Washington Letter. • [From our regular correspondent.] Wabhingron, D. C., Feb. 15, 1892. Ls*t week the wrlty noticed a group ol stalwart young men in military gaib at the Baltimore & Ohio depot, and on in qulring learned that they were recruit' enlisted atGoldsbory, N. C., who were on their way to Columbus, Ohl', for instruc tion and assignment to regiments, the recruits being permitted their choice of regiments to serve in. They also volunteered the information that the South was furnishing a large number of recruits for Uncle Sam's army, the war fever having been greatly stimulated by the recent prospective brush wi h Chili Mr. Blaine’s announcement that he would not be a presidential candidate did not raise a ripple of excitement here. Mr. Blaine Is regarded as very unlike "Birkls" who was alwais “willin’” and not afraid to proclaim it, while Blaine is alwajs willing and ever denying. Thee nfirmation Os Judge Woods still hangs fire at this writing in the Senate. The Republicans wou'd gladly be rid of the matter, but like Bonquo’a ghost, it will not down at their b'dding. Should he be confirmed his record will be tarnished in the minds of all fair-minded men, who can hft their minds above political considera tion*. Every man who views his appointment from this vantage ground will always believe that Judge Woods modified his charge to the grand jury in the “blocks-of-five” business, not to correct an error of law, as his partial friends claim, but at the demand of the power '‘behind the throne,” that was for the time being higher than the “throne.” That to have endangered Dudlv wou’d have smirched them upon the "throne." That it was a political necessity, tn which it was wiser and more prudential to follow the course pursued than bear the ills that an investigation would unfold. That Judge Woods was the man selected to bear the sins of the party to the wilderness, and stretch forth his hand as the savior of his party, at a price that cannot be doubted. There is so much pitch in the business, that what to do, and what not to do with the subject matter, is a difficult question that Republican senators must eventually decide. Meanwhile it is a disgrace and a blot, a foul blot upon the appo ntment system of circuit and supreme judges, by the chief executive of a great people, that the aiotfve for the appointment hinges upon the “-TtSF Judge Woods, as a poHMeai necessity, gave a safe deliverence to corrupt politicians, without which there would have been unfolded as foul a conspiracy against "a free ballot and a fair count.” as stains our country’s annals, for which a grateful beneficiary now proposes to promote and, which, in anyother country than ours would have been his everlasting disgrace and downfall. “Politics makes strange bed fellows,” and stranger judges —sometimes. If the necessities of the Republican party surrouding this case require the nomnatlon and confirmation of such a man, who has already such a conspicuous example of placing the necessities of party higher than his oath of office, it cannot be expected that the opinions ot such a man, When political questions are involved would ckrry any weight among the mass of the people. That upon such questions bis decisions would be governed by the necessities party alore is a forgone conclusion. If his par'y can afford to be placed in this pOdtum{he people will try and bear it, though the Republican bind continues to toot “a free ballot and a fair count.” • Senator Turpie has introduced in the joint resolution passed by the legislature -of Indiana, at their last session, providing for an amendment to the Constitution of the United States, by which the United States Senators shall be elected by a direct vote of the people. This is a wise measure and should receive Jhe consideration it., deserves. It is not, in any sense a partisan measure, and should receive, as it deserves, a fair invaitigation at the hands of members of both houses, regardless of party affiliatlc ns.’ 1 At the time of the formation of the Constitution, the election of Senators was put as far away from the people as possi ble. The Senate was to be to the House, what the House of Lords was to the Com-m-ns— a kind of political wheel. There was a feeling ot distrust among the leaders in the “constitutional convention,” that if such a balance wheel was not attched to Congress that the people would run wild with the newly acquired notions of liberty and become too radical In their legislative manners; that something was needed to restrain them; hence the provision for the election of Senators was engrailed In ihe Constitutl m. There was a wide-spread feeling afnong the leading men of that time, growing out of the pre. Judices then surrounding them; that the ma<s of the people might prove incapable ot self-government. . An experience oT more than one hun dred years has proven that while it may haye been a wise precaution at that time, it was unnecesary. Timejias demonstrated that the people can be safely trusted And has been that the higher eduction oi the masses at this time is taken sideration, and the more general di fib Sion nf knowledge -consequent thereon, it would seem that |if the people wee upprepared at, thatjtime to dodirectly that which they did indirectly, that no good * J, ? 1 s*• • ‘ ©

and val d reason could be urged at this time against the proposition. In every stare In the Union where political parties have had a doubtful tenure, when the power was placed first in the hands of one and then in the other, there has been in the last thirty years some of the most bitter snd vindetive political battles waged for the election of United States Senator. To secure control of the legislature, representative and senatorial distr cts have been outrageously gerrymandered by both parties, but in which in* all fairness, a sense of justice compel!* the assertion tiiat in this respect the Republicans exceeded. The evils within the cognizance of the reader, if a moment’s condkleration is given the subject ma’ter, and by the proposed change there would be compantively r.o motive to continue sOch efforts to secure and maintain political supremacy. Senator Turpie supported his joint resolution in a speech in which he forcibly presented the whole q restion in a very able and forcible manner, and which is worthy the consideration of the people. Apart from the subject matter it is worth the reading as an oratorial effort. Its clas-ical allusions deno'e a cultured mind; its logic and reasoning, the judicial reasoning involved, while the all round presentation of the subject reveals his broad grasp of the question, so that the reader whether he be a Democrat or Republican may will feel proud that Indiana is so ably represented in the upper Honse. The Senator is not without hope that the measure will receive the assent of the Senate when it comes up for final action. A pleasant tilt occured Wednesday between Speaker Crisp and ex-speaker Reed, which was quite enjoyable. Pending a demand for the previous question, the morning hour expired and a point of no quorum was made against the demand. Mr, Reed contended that no business could be transacted until a quorum appeared. The speaker held that the morning hour having expired, all business went over to the day following, whether a quorum were voting or not. Mr. Reed declared that the speaker had declared bills passed when a quorum had not voted, and his position was therefore inconsistent. The speaker rep Fed that the question of a quorum was not raised, and added: “With the greatest respect for the gentleman from Maine, I would say, that he is now acting as he did in the last congress — he is dodging the question.” There was a -laughing satisfaction from the Democratic side, when MFriteed replied that he had not dodged any question last year, then the Republicans laughed also. buspension of Lent. On account of the grippe epidemic the Pope has issued a circular in which he suspends Lent Regulations and gives the Catholic community freedom to guard against the disease. The circular has been forwarded, as is customary, to all the clergy of the diocese with the following addition: Bishop’s House, 1 172 Clinton Street, V Fort Wayne, Ind , Feb. 15, 1892.) Ve r y Rev. and Rev. Dear Sirs: As you readily nerceive, this Rescript shows that Our Holy Father the Pope authorizes all Bishops and Ordinaries in places where the present malady prevails, to dispense the faithful from the law of fasting and abstinence. By virtue of this authority the dispensation is hereby published for the Diocese of Fort Wavne. “ The dispensation is general and makes no exception of days Or season.” The wishes of the Holy Father expressed in the last paragraph of the Rescript will no doubt be faithfully carried out by the Pastors ot Souls. Their own zeal will cause them to encourage the faithful in accord with the wishes of His Holiness, and particularly so during the Holy Season of Lent. . t Very Respectfully, JoSeph H. Brammer, Jno. F Lang, Vicar General. Chancellor. Does It Pay? ■ t>, Does it pny to keep cows on the farm and sell milk to the creamery at the price they pay fir it? James C. Moses keeps six. cows and from them he has sold seven hundred and seven pouidsof milk each week this winter at one dollar per hundred, making seven dollars and seven cents a week. A farmer with a farm of eighty acres can easily keep twenty four cows, and from them, at the same rate, can realize at least one hundijed and twenty dollars a month, for it they are made a special business I they can! be made to produce more milk than one- who does not give them any extra atrehtiov i Then it' the creamery tampay $t 00 for one bundled pounds now, with only an an anlounft of from iooo to 1500 pounds coming ir a dav, if the amount could be increased to 5000 pounds they could pay at least $ 35 a hundred for the milk, The advantage is with the farmer if they will give the same attention enough to see what car be done, if done in the right way. ........ — . . t .
