WASHINGTON LETTER. our -jip.Ktllar corrospoudent. Washington, D. C., Mar. 2, ’84. When the riot act is read it indicates that things are gating squally. Well, the riot act, figuratively speaking, has been read ten times to “the various caucuses of democratic Senators hold this week, by as many democratic Senators, each of whom declared that he would not vote for the tariff bill unices it was changed ! so as to protect the interest of his i constituents. It is one of the most j formidable political revolts that ever! took place in Congress, and-there is good reason for the belief that Mr. ; Cleveland timed his hunting trap so I as to be away from Washington and I beyond reach of the telegraph when the flag of revolt was raised, he having exhausted his influence In behalf of his tariff bill without winning a vote. In addition to the ten democrats thundering away in the caucuses, two populists—Alien and Peffer —have publicly announced that they will -not vote for the bill unless American sugar producers are as well protected as they are under the present law. While it cannot be j 'definitely stated how the tariff bill will emerge from this storm, it can stated to a certainty that it must be modified sufficintly to get seven out of those ten democratic votes or its defeat is' certain. It has been ! Returned to the Finance committee for modification. Senator Frye made a strong speech [ on the reports of the Senate com- j inittee on Foreign Relations on the Hawaiian investigation this week, and when the graud-high-chief of the Senate cuckoos—Gray, of Delaware, —attempted to break the force of some of his sharpest, chriticism on the acts of Mr.Cleveland and bis puppets, Bloun, and Willis, Mr. Frye just made him the laughing stock of the Senate as he tied him op. Owing to the time taken up by ih ■ democratic tariff caucuses it took M r. Frye a part of two days to deliver his speech. Pension Bureau officials are hopping mad because of the following resolution offered in the House by Taylbr, of Indiana: “Whereas there is reason 1o believe that certain officials and employes j in the medical divison of the Pension Bureau are, and have been, making false reports of evidence in pension cases to their superiors iu office in order to secure unjust decisions iu such cases; therefore “Resolved, That the committee on Invalid Pensions is hereby directed to inquire into the conduct of the, business in the medical division of said Pension Bureau and to report to the House of Representatives if systematic or manifest injustice has been done to pensioners or to applicants for pensioners by an; of the employes of said division; said committee to report to the House by resolution or otherwise; also to report the names and political affiliation of said employes and by what administration they were appointed." The usual defence; —“It is nothing but a partisan political attack" — will not answer iu thus case, as the resolution was offered by a democrat. Mr. Bland’s incapacity as a leader and absolute lack of tact resulted in endangering his bill for the coinage of the seigniorage, which he had so much at heart, and which might have been passed a week or more before it was had it been properly mangled. Theonly really important that Mr. Bland has succeeded iu doing is in putting the democrats of the House, with their 80 majority, in a very deep hole, and in leaving a chasm between the silver and antisilver democrats that, is not likely to be bridged during the present session of Congress, and which will bo almost certain to make trouble among the democrats when the tariff bid come back from the Senate, if it ever does. Congressman Lafe Pence, populist of Colorado, who was sat, down upon by tlii 1 House, this week, for intemperate language and who publicy apologized to Representative tfainer.of {Nebraska, for having said: “You

are fuller of bread than of comprehension of my ideas,” declined to apologise «r withdraw his statement that his democratic colleague, Cooper, of Indiana, had traded his'vote on silver for patronage. Whereupon Mr. Cooper said that common decency should have prevented Pence, who lias money invested in silver mines, criticising the position of other members. Mr. Cooper also said that Pence had no constitutional right to vote on any question affecting silver. As Cooper and Pence were raised in the same town and have al ways knew each other well their opinions Of each other have been more generally accepted than they would havii been under olhercircumstancca. Republican Senators are, as BrVr Rabbit would say,“lyin’ low" on the tariff question. They are not ready just yet to make public the tactics they propose using against the, bill. They regard it as a needless wa$te of ammunition for them to begin firing at it before the get through. -..A Ai.kxis.

V, M. A, p Well, why have a Young- .'Men's Christian Association in ouriown, anyhow? Just so, why? liuf say, can you tell why some people in our town ruin young men in Satan’s name,-—substituting for the oldboy; and why somebody should not save the young men in Christ’s name, — substituting for Christ. But what have you got churches for? My ■ friend, you are wise and good. Only 1 wise and truly good —at least you j talk as if you were, Churches are 1 good and they are doing good. This town would be a little well, you know, it there were no churches in it. It would be a good thing if all the young men wore built so that they wouldn’t want anything but prayer meeting all the year year ; pound. But most of them are not built that way. Young men of the churches now to combine to do for all the young men of the vicinity what no one church, what all the churches as churches could not do—furnish a place of meeting, good literature, innocent amusements such as a gymnasium affords; but with ail this, do earnest special Christian work for young men. The i Y. M. C. A. means work for young men by young men in the name of [ Church.

A Young IMuu’o “Wild Onto.” So far as a young man, “sowing his wild oats” is concerned, writes Edward W. Hok in some editorials for young men In t he March Ladles’ Home Journal, it has always seemed a pity to me that that the man who framed that sentence didn’t die before he constructed it. Prom the way some people talk one would imagine that every man had instilled into him at his birth a certain amount of deviltry which he must get rid of before lie can become a man of honor. Now what is called “sowing wild oats” is nothing more nor less than self-degradation to any young man. It doesn't make a man one particular moreof a man because tie lias passed through a siege of riotous living and indiscretion when he was nineteen or twenty; it makes him just so much less of a man. It dwarfs his views of life far more than it broadens them. And he realizes this afterwards. And he doesn’t know one iota moreof “life,” except a certain phase of it, which, if it has glitter for him in youth, be* comes a rcpollant remomberance to him when he is matured. There is no such thing as an investigating period in a man's life; at one peiod it is important to him to be honorable and true to the teachings of his mother as at another. No young man need seek the “darker side of life.” The Lord knows that it forces itself upon our attention soon, enough. It does not wait to be sought. A young man need not be afraid that he will fail to see it. He will see plenty of it, and without any seeking on his part, either. And oven if he does fail he is the gainer. There are. a great many things which we can expect by inference as existing in this

world. It is pot a liberal education to see them. Too maijy young men have a burning itch to see wickedness—not to indulge in it, us they are quick to explain, but simply to see it. But the thousands of men who have never seen it have never felt the losers. If anything, they are glad of it. It does not raise a man's idea to come into contact with certain types of man hood or womanhood which are only removed from the lowest types of the animal kingdom by virtue of the fact that the Creator chose to have them get through the world on two. legs instead of four. The loftiest ideal of womanhood that a young man can form in his impressionable days will prove none too high for him in his years of maturity. To be true to the best that is within a man means, above all, to be an earnest believer in the best qualities of womanhood.
