Of all the American comedies produced in the last score of years, no two or three combined can equal in artistic or financial success Chas. H. Hoyt’s masterpiece. “A Texas Steer.” Whenever Mr. Hoyt is asked what he considers his best production, he unhesitatingly answers “The Steer.” Play goers heartily agree with him, for, al though it is nearly seven years

WASHINGTON LETTER

THE LATEST POLITICAL GOSSIP FROM THE CAPITAL. (ntereAting Doingn of Public Men, and a Dish of Sptee Mere and There as Seen By Our Special Correspondent—Notes, Incidents, Ktc.

Agent.

Washington, Xov. 20, 1895. ft seems odd that Washington should be so quiet w ith the date for the assembling of congress only two weeks off. bur it isn’t. In the years when a new congress assembles Washington is usually in a turmoil for several weeks before congress meets, owing to the campaign for the nomination of Speaker of the House. This year there ,is no speakership campaign, it was settled when toe voles cast at the congressional election, last November were counted that Hon. Thomas 15. Reed, of Maine, should again be the speaker of the House. There remains only the minor offices of the House to be determined upon, and, a'thn.igii the friends of the several gentlemen who are camluhues for each of those offlees are greatly interested, there is no national interest felt in the good-natured contest they are waging. So it is easy to understand why so few members of the House are in town and why everything

is so quiet.

Major McDowell, the Pennsylvania candidate for the Home clerkship, and Mr. Glenn, the New York candidate for doorkeeper, have opened head-

doctrine have been disgusted by the business depression of the last two years. Naturally they turn to the parly which is not in power for relief, espe- j ciaily in view of the fact that that party has a consistent protection record.” Indications of another bond issue in the very near future are daily becoming more numerous, and if the demand upon the treasury for gold continues it may take place before congress meets, although it is supposed that Mr. Cleveland would prefer putting it off until aftci congress meets, so as to make it appear that congress is partly responsible for it.

This is strictly a farce and is wholly intended for amusement but appeals as do his other plays to the best taste. Mr. J. M.

and of Washington, is also a candidate for the same place. Kx Representative Henderson, of Illinois, is acandidige for the clerkship of the Houre, and he is said to have declined entering a combination as a candidate for sergeant-at-arms, a position for which Mr. Russell, the present speaker of the Missouri House of representatives, is a candidate. There are half a dozen » audidates for chaplain of the House, but the friends of Rev. H. I). Fisher, of Kansas, say he is certain to get it. At this stage of tiie campaign all the friends of all the candidates are plaving their confidence to make votes, but until more members get to Washington there is notiiing to base a prediction of the probable winners on, as most of the members will not commit themselves until they get here and look over the

ground.

Senator Baker, of Kansas, wishing to familiarize himself a little with Washington life and surroundings before entering upon his senatorial career, has dropped in a couple of weeks ahead of time. Although not disposed to push them forward, Senator Raker has opinions of his own, and, when* asked, does not hesitate to express them. When asked what he thought the republicans ought to do at the coining session of congress lie said: “The most important question will be to provide the government the money it needs to pay its expenses. I see only two ways in which it can be done. One is to increase the duty on a number of articles which, like wool, for instance, are now admitted free, or upon which tiie duty was radically lowered by the democratic tariff law. 1 think we should give tiie president an opportunity to act upon a bill of this sort, although 1 do not believe lie will sign anything we send him. That method of raising revenue failing the next tiling to do would be to repeal the law under which he claims authority to issue bonds independent of congress, and to authorize the issue of bonds in denominations of |50 and $100, which “tight to la? made legal tender and to draw about two per cent interest. These bonds would be taken up by the people with great rapidity and held, but their legal tender quality would make them available for the payment of debts. It might he claimed lliat this would be an intlation of the currency, but certainly no harm would result, even if some of the bonds passed us money.” Here is a nut for the free trade democrats to crack. Senator Gorman furnished it. when in the course of an explanation of why the republicans earned Maryland, he said: “The fact is that the protection sentiment in the state has largely increased. In my own county, for example, we have a number of woolen mills. I'htil very recently they have been run upon a rough and cheap class of good!. I u the last two or three years, however, they have undertake n a higher grade of work, and in order to do it they have been obliged to import a large number of skilled laborers from Massachusetts and other New Kngland states. Most of these men are republicans. A like condition exists in other counties. There has been a change, ton, among democrats who are naturally inclined towards protection, and who believe that republican supremacy will more certainly insure a permanent protective policy. There is no question that the protection sentiment all cl*-...-j-, «y»-y—

CALL AND SEE THE LINE. a. a. keis'tEaR,

Since I made the announcement in this paper on Monday that, I would admit the public to my optical grinding department in order that they may see how spectacle lenses are made, I have had many expressions of appreciation from our citizens. Many have already indicated their intention to lake advantage of the opportunity offered to see how the surface of a spectacle lens is ground. Many have known that 1 have been doin ' this work but thought that the way of doing it was a secret and that I did not care to show how it was done. I again assure all such persons that I have no secrets in my business and am pleased to give all an opportunity to see how the surface of a lens is made. There are thousands of interesting points in grinding a lens all of which will he explained by actual grinding. As I have already explained in this paper 1 would begin to admit the public one week from next Monday and then every Monday after that. I have selected Monday as the day so that students would have an opportunity to come without interfering with their work. The cut below represents my grinding room which is 18 feet wide by 60 feet long. This cut has been etched from a drawing made on the spot of the actual machinery in the

room.
