Washington Letter. [From our regular correspondent.] Washington, D. C., March 14,1892 As indicated in my last, there was a tilt in the House upon the silver bill Monday. Scarcely had the chaplain of the House closed his opening prayer with amen, before Mr. Catchings, of Mississippi, was upon his feet and moved that the adoption of the report ofthe Committee on Rules, recommending March 22, 23 and 24 for discussion of the silver bill, when Mr. Tracy, of New York, interposed a point of order, that the journal of the previous day sho Id be read. The speaker decided the report was also in order. Upon the announcement of this discussion, half a dozen members were on their feet de mending recognition, with questions, suggestions and an appeal to the House rom-the ruling of the speaker, which was granted and the ruling ot the House was sustained by the speaker and the fight thus inaugurated was on, and lasted until neart:' ly four o’clock, when the Committee on Rules was adopted fixing the day as in- “ dtested. In order to a better understanding of the question, it should be remembered that . the Democratic members of the House are divided upon this question. Those who arc opposing the bill, claim they had no .... desire to-prevent a debate upon the question, but they did desire to have some pre liminary propositions voted upon, in order to have some test votes taken, that would place them right on the record with their constituents. Those who fayor the rneas- • :• ure claim that there was a practical agreement that the anti silver men should not filibuster to prevent adheussion, but when the motion was sprung upon thr m out of v- the regular order of business, as was claimed, their suspicions were aroused, and everything was off between the two factions, in which claims were made, de nied, affirmed, reiterated, in one ot the hottest fires of discussions witnessed dur ’ Ing the session, and about equal to any thing that occurred during the "no quorum” fights of Reed,s Fifty-first Congress. The Republicans were pleased with the prospects; and the anti-silver men con suited with Mr. Reed in order to receive his aid to further their' dilatory tactics with better effect, and Mr. Lockwood, of New York, having secured the floor, declared that a Democratic House were at , 1 the point of enforcing a more abitrary rule in a moieabitrary manner than any that was made or enforced in the Fifty first Congress. In this, however, he was wrong in both premisefcand conclusions, and the House refused to sanction him. When there is a full house, the arbitrating sound that come up to one sitting in the gallery Iroirfthe -floor below, makes it very difficult for the unaccustomed ear To to get a distinct idea of what is going on below in the ordinary course of business. Cui when a half dozen member are talking at once, or as was frequently the case a—,—* duringthe day,and io thisis supplemented , the fact that the remaining members were gathered in small groups talking in semi tones arid gesticulating excitedly as if life depended upon what lhey were about to do. It was a "circus" to sitinthegal- - gnd’datch the angry bum and buzz of voices that rose up from the mad pantominac crowd below, in which the great deep wan of bass would bear up the quer- ' ring defiant treble, in such a confused tangle skein of sound that rendered everything inaudabie, in that anthem of sound, •;r that was any thing bitt an anthem, and j ~ which only the official record can translate into plain prose to the intelllghnt F--- , « comprehension ot the riader and to which the reader is referred. Without going into the merits or de merits of the silver question. I have at- * tempted to give a simple pen picture of

The Decatur Democrat.

the first clerk-of arins.of the Home on the question in the preliminary moves but will add this comment, that the Republicans have made a mistake in charging the silver men with cowardice. Whether right di wrong, the measure receives the sanctipn of the House, also the Senate, and it w 11 becojne a law, unless the president interferes with his veto.

In the absence of Reprrsentative Springer, w' ois sick, Mr. McMullen, of Tennessee, opened the dabate on the tariff Wednesday, followed by Mr. Dingley for the Republicans. They were followed during the week by speaking on both sides, among were Mr. Brookshire, of Indians, whose remarks were directed to Mr. Blaine's reciprocity annex to the McKinley bill, especially with the $ South American republics. Thii debate will be a protracted one and will sound the key notes of the presidtntiai campaign. In one respect the Republicans have some what the advantage. Their ablest men many of whom have seen long service in the House, whuh in that , respect' give them the advantage over the host of new members on the Democratic side, who are in a measure not so familiar with the debate of previous legislation upon the subject uow under discussicn. There is only one thing the writerVears, and that is the Democrats will not as radical as they should be in their proposed measures for reform. The McKinley bill is wrong and should be assaiied all along the line. Friday night’s session was as barren of results as the Friday night sessions- that proceeded it. Mr. Kilgore, of Texas, raised the question of no quotum, just where he did at previous Friday night sessions with like results.except there was a call of the House when it was ascertained there was no quorum present, when the House ordered the arrest of the ab-sent-members, arid a warrant for their arrest was issued and placed in the hands of ■he Sergeant at-Arms, under which several members were brought in, meanwhile the limit of the time of the session having been reached, the House adjourned. These proceedings, will, it is thought, result in a quorum next Friday night’s session when the private pension bills on the calender will be disposed of.

On Friday evening the writer was surprised to meet Messrs, John and Dan Nib lick and Dave Studabaker, of Decatur. They were i(l time to witness the Friday night session, and devoted Sa'urday to sight seeing,' leaving Saturday evening for New Ygrk. ‘ ■ Mr. Bla'ine now lias an opportunity to inaugurate that vigorous foreign policy he so loudly boasted of during the ClevelandHarrison campaign, The attijude ofc the British government in refusing to renew the modus viundi a greed upon last year is the occasion. Mr. Blaine now has a grand opportunity to “twist the British lions tail,” or as the street gamins say “take a sneak.” There is a growing feeling here which includes Republican na‘ tions, that the matters in dispute as to he jurisdiction of States" in Behring sea ought never to have been subm’tted to arbitration, and that the agreement to arbitrate ought vet to be withdrawn, and the matter between the two govern ments settled by the adoption of a ‘vigorous foreign policy .” W. C. T. U. Notes. Mrs. Mary Clement Leaiitt, the renowned world’s missionary, reached Buenos Ayres on January nth, as er an uneventful voyage of thirty three days. Mayor of Boston, has ap pointed a committee ot two women and three men to visitrnnd inspect public institutions and report the conditions thereof, with such recommendations as may be necessary. A discussion on Woman Suffrage has been carried on for some weeks by con tribuk rs to the Lima (Ohio) Clipper, an excellent local paper which bears' the motto. “Sobreity, Equality and Justice.” Rev. Frazier gave a clear cut temper ance address at the Christian church on Sunday afternoon. He showed conclusively that there are two kinds of wine spoken ot in the Bible, the one "biteth like a serpent and stingth like an aider,” the other the pure unfermented juice of the grape, which is harmless and nutritious. The first G.’d pronounces a woe upon him who drinks it and upon him who puts it to his rieighboys* lips; the second may be taken with impunity for the stomach’s sake, Mr. Frazier feailessly advoca'ed total abstience for the individual and the total prohibition ot the manufacture and sale, for drinking purposes, of anything with alcohol in it. Alcohol is not a good creature of Goff, —for God never made a drop of alcohol, that is the Devil’s wosk. One thing Sam Small left in Dera'ur was the impression upon h's auditors, that the whole infernal Aqttqr busin<ss from A to Izzard ought to be voted out of existence, and kept out, in order that men and women may have clear brains, strong bodies and clear hands with which to carry on the world’s work, which the Creator placed them here to do. He showed cleady t that part ■ politicians, would-be statesmen, most party pajwrs.

This very briefly, friends, is the character of which it is our pleasant privilege in the name of our Sunday school, in the name of our church, and in God’s name we welcome you to our Sunday school. Words are inadequate to express the full measure of welcome we extend to all. None are too young, none are too' old, we care not how poor, nor how rich, our motto is, “For God and the church. Some may say or think they are not welcomed We meet you at the door, we tender to you the freedom of the church so long as you remain with us; whatever is our jay or blessings is yours. Also, fathers may say, Sunday school is the place for children. But stop, did you ever see a man too old that he could not learn something from studying God’s work? God' say's,' “Why stand ye here all the day idle.” Oh, what love can be compated with a mother’s love, what influence can be greater than a mother over her dear little child. Then if you would have your sons find daughters grow up that they may represent your noble character by their nobil-. ity and uprightuous come out and labor with us. God says, "Whoso receive one such littlrjchild in my name receiyeth me.’ To him that overcomes the foe White ramenta will be given; Before the angels he shall know His name.'confessed in heaven. Then onward from the hills of light. Our hearts with love of flame; We'll vanquish all the hosts of might. In Jesus conquering name. » S. S. Com. From the Penitentiary. Midhigan City, Ind , ) Pbison MoffTH, March 13, ’92/ Editor Democrat. Dear Sir—Desiring to place myself right before the general public, I would a»k a favor of you to make a few remarks through your paper. I suppose the public has known my fate for the past ten or twelve years, and a part of which time has been spent in prison and which has taught me a good lesson. My time lor realease is near at, hand and my intentions are to Come back to my old home and live, and trusting my friends and the public will give me a fair chance 10 make an honest living, as the old saying is, “it is never too late to repent,” and justice to all with maiice toward none. Again thanking you for this space, I remain. Yours respectfully, Willard Elzey. Y. P. C. E. Notes.

Eli Reber and family and Enos Plank and family, of Kirkland township, left last Friday |br Beebe, Arkansas, where they expect to make their future home. They were among the best of our citizens and in leaving this county for their new home the wishes of their friends are that they mav better their condition. Os course the Democrat follows them. Last week the barn of David Werling. Preble township, came near burning. The fire started in the manger, burning the hay out of it* and then died out. The supposition is that a tramp was in the barn and cither fired it for a purpose or from carelessness in I'ghting his pipe. Had the fire continued the loss would have been heavy as all his stock and grain was in the barn at the time. We never father a trust or combine, r.or do we train with those who do, for all such are the children of the high robber party, ail such men were never known until after the advent of the, Republican par'y in this country, but with-the birth and ascendency to power of the Republican party came trusts, combines and .all manner of schetties to rob the farmer and workingmen of the country, for by such means they continued to rob the people. Any law that will help the authorities to keep the poisonous cigarette out of Jhe hands ot children is a good law. It is doubtless true that some adults with questionable taste will continue to smoke cigarettes in defiance of the canons of health and respect for the of others. To such the question ot cost will hardly be a detrim'nt. Nor is it c.rta n that any law could be framed that would ptevent the man a from suicide tn the case of some Otherwise intelligent adult. Bat the effects as habitual cigarette smoking on persons of immature phisqueitpserl ws enough to warrant atepa) bring taken to limit hg sc urge.
