OUR WASHINGTON LETTER. Important Kveiitu at the Capital.—The Latent New*. Wasiiixoton, April L’t, 1SU4 The free traders in the senate have become so discouraged heeause of the revolt in their own party, the broadsides poured into them hy the repuhlleans during the general debate on the tariff hill, which closes today, and the unmistakable trend of public sentiment against the present bill, that they have opened negotiat ons with the revolting democratic senators, which, it is believed. will end in their complete and abject surrender. Republicans have not, of eourse, been made acquainted with the exact nature of these negotiations, but enough has leaked oul to cause many to believe that the income lax is to be dropped and the present tariff bill practically abandoned, some* thing like the ol3 Mills bill being substituted therefor. The impression left by the representatives of the National Workingmen’s Protective Tariff League—more than 1000 in number—who met in convention here Saturday, has been decidedly good. The democrats of the senate finance committee refused to hear their personal protests against the tariff bill, hut they were compelled to hear them read on the floor of the senate by Senator thinly, and the memliers of the league occupied the galleries of the senate as pleased listeners. These men and women did not come here to attempt to coerce congress hy threatening to remain in Washington until some absurd demands were complied with, a- Coxey's army proposes to do, hut merely in the exercise of their rights a- American citizens to protest against being deprived of their bread and butter hy vicious legislation; am’, having tiled their protest they quietly returned to their homes. They neither walked nor came on free railroad transportation, but on tickets purchased with the money of the laborers they came to represent. Nor did they ask donations for food; they paid for everything they .got, as self-respecting people usually do. Washington people will be glad to >ee them again under happier circumstances. There are times when nothing but plain talk will till the hill, and Senator Hawley thought one of these times was at hand when he replied to the extraordinary speech of Senator Allen, of Nebraska, in favor of the 1’etfer resolution, which provides for the formation of a new senate committee to hear the petitions of Coxey’s army and similar organizations. Senator Hawley paid particular attention to Mr. Allen’s denunciation of the laws which prohibit parades in Washington without permission of the authorities, and the marching of any organized body of men across any portion of the capitol grounds, laws which Mr. Hawley declared to he i iglit and proper and said would he enforced to the letter. But the most striking part of Mr. Hawley’s speech was the conclusion in these words, calmly and deliberately uttered : •‘I am sorry to say. but I feel bound to -ay, that the speech of the senator from Nebraska was one that would have lw.*en received with tumultous applause in a meeting of anarchists. It had in it, not requiring a microscope, but visible to the naked eye, the bacteria and hacilia of anarchy." Hough. hut deserved. The populists in emigres-, w hile pretending to he opposed to the absurd idea which is causing -o many ill-ad-vised men to move towards Washington, are in reality doing everything in their power to encourage the movement. Representative Been, of Minnesota, has introduced a resolution in the house directing the secretary of war to furnish camping grounds and tents for all organized bodies of "laboring people’’ who may conic to Washington to obtain ’‘redress from congress.” The Inloplloh of a resolution like that would invite every tramp in the country to spend the sumilier encamped in the suburbs of Washington, and what the result of In ingiiig such enormous body of men together, whose respect for law ami order are not their most striking traits, would he no man can tell. It would certainly he nothing good. But there isn’t eyen a possibility that Mr iloen’s resolution will get even a score of votes in the house, if it ever comes to a vote at all. Those who arc coining to Washington expecting to he taken care of by congress would better turn buck. Senator Gallinger’s declaration tliat ihc turifl bill is Mullins on crutches of unequal size. One lea l>y truth supported, one by lies. Thus sidle of the aoal with awkward pace. Secure of nothintr. hut to lose the race, ■•an hardly be t ailed classic poetry ; but as a truthful description of the present condition of the bill it would be dittleiilt to surpass it in the same number of words. The democrats of the house profess to be greatly sumrised because the repub-

Bindley et al. vs.! declare it must go, and mark the

largely of German descent. There arc eight churches in the town, viz: One Christian, one Methodist, one Free Methodist, one F. IL, one Albright, one Seven-day Adventist and two Moravian, an English and a German. Each church has a resident preacher, and, as a rule, peace and harmony seem to prevail. As the five churches named first have no peculiarities that are foreign to the readers of the Bannek Times, we simply pass them by with the above reference to their existence in this place. But the Adventist and the Moravians are not so well known, and therefore we will tell you of some of their peculiarities. First, the former are very zealous enthusiasts and believe and teach that the world will come to an end some time next July, and so firm are some of them in this belief that they have provided ascension robes for the occasion of pure white, have taken their children from school and are making no provision for future sustenance of life, and should the next winter be long and cold, there will, no doubt, be more than one dancing grasshopper among them. We could tell you many tilings about the people, but let this suffice. The Moravians are a very peculiar people in many respects. I will mention only one of their peculiarities. Each church has a cemetery of its own, and none hut Moravians are allowed the right of interment. The ground is divided into two parts called the north and the south halves. The deceased males are buried on the north side the deceased females on the south side. No regard is paid to families in the city of the dead, but each person is buried on the north or south side and in the rows according to the sex and age of the deceased. The very old are buried in rows side by side and so with [he middle-aged and on down to the in-

fantile age.

Costly monuments are not allowed to be used, but each grave is provided with a small head-stone, which is a common slab about two feet in length, with the name of the deceased, the date of birth and death, and this slab is placed almost flat upon the mound at the head of the grave, so in order to read the inscription you pass around to the foot of the mound. These observances are all held inviolate. 1 was told this was done to illustrate the great truth that in death all are brought upon a eam-

inon level.

TiifMlay Night’* ing; of tl»«* City < iikIocliaiiH—Claim Ordinance «in<l Not#**. The common council inetTuesday night at 7 :30 o’clock with all pres cut except Mayor < ase and City Attorney Moore. When the claim | ordinance was read Mr.Biake moved that the claim of F. L. Landes, for street improvement bonds to the amount of $3!X5.51, be struck from the docket. A heated debate followed and resulted in the withdrawal of the claim. The city engineer recommended that W. W. Jones be permitted to have stone gutter laid on Seminary street by private contract. The matter of the city making similar action to the county in the Mrs. F. P. Nelson taxation matter was re ferred to City Attorney Moore. In the matter of placing a water fountain on the corner of Washington and Bloomington streets the water works committee was directed to find the cost and yearly rental and report at next meeting of

council.
