FROM WASHINGTON.

An Interesting; of lew* From S'feCapii-ji. Krom out Regular Corre.'.Toudeut. Washington. May /8. ’94. The tariff bill , Isas been the basis for two big sensations this week. The firs*, charging that the susrar trust (rot the nrotecu. I lion given it in the proposed amendment to the sugar schedule of the tariff bill in return fora contribution of Cs(X).Od ; .’ to democratic campaign fund of 1892. and the second, that Maj. J. A Pnttz, now of North Dakota, but once a carpet-bag member of Congress from South Carolina, had attainted to bribe Senators Hunton, of Va., and Hyle of South Dakota, to vote against the tariff bill, offering them $25,000 each. Buttz denies the charge. Senator Lodge has offered a resolution providing for an investigation of both charges, but in as much as the Senate voted down Mr. Peffer’s resolutions providing for an investigation of the charges made against Senators of speculating in the stock of the sugar trust while thetariff bill was in the hands of the Senate Finance commit tee, its action on this resolution is doubtful. Few people believe that there was any money behind the alleged attempt to bribe the two Senators, if it was made by Buttz. because Buttz, who has been a lobbyist ever since he was in Congress, is not the sort of men who would be selected to disburse big money by would-be bribers of Senators.

Coxey’s army of the commonweal is apparently settled in its new camp at Bladensburg, Maryland, just beyond the line of the District of Columbia, for an indefinite stay. The contributions received this week, including money and a car load of flour, make it certain that the army will have plenty to eat for the next twenty days, even if nothing else were received. A bake oven has been built and the flour will be baked in camp. No one was surprised when a new trial was refused Coxey, Browne and Jones; the did not expect it themselves. Coxey has decided that he will accept the nomination for Congress tendered to him, if he is allowed to run on a Coxey platform. © @ © Representative Boen, of Minnesota, thinks the machinery of the U. S. Courts in that State has been working one-sided, and he has offered a resolution in the House authorizing the Judiciary Committee to investigate. In a preamble he gives as reasons for the investigation: That Judge Nelson adjourned Court at Fergus Falls before completing public business and without calling juries as provided by law; also, that he contrary to law compelled a number of laboring men charged with offences against the United States to go 200 miles to St. Paul to be tried, when they lived within 30 miles of Fergus Fall, at which place they should have been tried.

® 0 © It seems that every week must furnish a personal difficulty on the floor of either the Senate or the House, and the present was no exception. One would not suppose that the Agricultural appropriation bill contained anything upon which to base an exciting episode, but that is just where one is mistaken. While that bill was being considered Representative Hopkins, as Ills., charged Representative Hatch, of Mo., who is in charge of the bill, with attempting to juggle an increase of salary for an employe of the Agricultural department into the bill without the knowledge of other members of the House. Mr. Hatch jumped up quivering with excitrment, and, shaking his fists towards Mr. Hopkins, shouted; “If the gentlemen from Illinois means that word in its ordinary English signification, I want to tell him

that if he should use it to me outside of this chamber, I would ram it down his throat!” As soon as Mr. Hopkins could make himself heard above the shouting and jeering he replied; “I do not know whether I will need a body guard to escort me from the Capitol or not, but I want to say to the gentleman from Missouri that he can take my words in any sense he pleases. I shall neither withdraw or modify them and he cannot frighten anyone with his blustering manners here.” There was a time when such language would have been followed by trouble outside of the House, but it has long since passed away.

The populist Congressional committee is just as busy sending out documents etc., as the committees of the old parties are, and its members are figuring on electing enough members of the next House to hold the balance of power between the old parties and to distate the officers of the House. • e e There is again lots of talk about a cloture rule in the Senate, to force the tariff bill to a vote, but there is no probability of its adoption, for the very good reason that it would take as long or longer to reach a vote for the adoption of a cloture rule as to reach a vote on the tariff bill itself, even if a known majority of the Senate favored cloture, which is by no means certain. On the contrary, thers is every reason to believe that a majority is opposed to cloture.

“Prohibition that will Prohibit.”

The logic of events is moving towards prohibition of the liquor traffic, with such strides as to astonish the world with its rapid development. Who would believe that an anti-sumptuary Prohibition plank would originate in the Democratic party at the present time? But here it is, and from the highest source, too, —from the Democratic President of the United States. See what President Cleveland says in his last message to Congress: “I recommend that an act be passed prohibiting the sale of arms and intoxicants to nations in the regulated zones of our citizens. Verily the world moves; and with it wo have this clear, unmistakable Prohibition sentiment uttered with all the significance aud prominence of a Democratic recommendation to Congress, from the highest authority in the land.

If the claims of our Congress, how much more shall all the citizens of the United States be entitled to protection from the lawless elements in our country. Let us hail this. last intimation from our President that even the Democratic party is susceptible to the indignation that patriotic citizens ought to feel and manifest towards this terrible scourge of our country—the poison of alcoholic beverages. —From Demorest’s Magazine for June.

Gerrett Smith’s Idea of Political Parlies.

Gerrett Smith, the great abolitionist, one of the founders of the republican party, and now a favorite republican idol—a few years ago thousands of his speeches were industriously peddled as campaign documents by the republican national committee —said in a speech at Pelersboro a short time before his death in 1871: “A very him-u table evil is the education of ide people into the belief that a permanent political party is a great good; and, therefore, that such a party as the republican or democratic party ought not to be broken up. But a permanent political party, with the constant tendency of every such party to deterioration, is a heavy curse—for it plants itself with great, and too frequently with invincible power., in the way of 9,11 progress, and clings for its own existence to the wrongs with which it is indentified. No other but temporary political parties are justifible—no other but such as occasions call for.”

Gravel Roads.

A gentleman hands us the following extract from a letter written him by a resident ofCass county, about the mater ial used in the construction of gravel roads in that county. The first gravel road in that county was built in 1861. The letter is as follows: “The kind of gravel you speak of that we use in this county for graveling roads is what is called plastering sand gravel. It should be coarse, the coarser the better. The size of the gravel should be from that of a plump wheat grain or a large bean, up to a quail egg, and of. a blue or grayish color, and not yelldw. Gray or blue gravel is mixed with sand, while yellow gravel is mixed with clay and is rotten. To test these, take a handful and press it together and then open your hand. If it sticks together it is bad; if it falls apart it is good.”

A Statement.

I see in your article of last week on the Iroquois Ditch case, you name me as a petitioner, also as having taken an appeal with amount of bond fixed, and alsoS. P. Thompson (alias Frank Foltz) as my attorney, all of which is a mistake. The facts are these: I was a remonstrant asking a redaction of my assess ment, which I thought, was <x cessive, I am not and never was a petitioner. I have token no appeal though requested to do so by the Kight Hon. S. K T. Presuming you got your in formation from the court rucoiuo, wdl say that 1 am reliably informed that the aforesaid 8. P. T, is responsible for the above errors, which are without my knowledge or consent.

We doubt if there is a more humane place for the restoration of fallen man than the Keeley Institute at Dwight. This institution is complete in almost every detail and the good that has been accomplished by it should certainly be worthy of highest words of praise. There are seven practicing physicians imattendance, who have made tins <si*eat work a study, ami know exactly how to manage a patient who is addicted to these vicious habits. The patient, of course, must ’nave confidence in the treatment and when cured should have manhood enough about him to forever disdain the idea of ever again touching the fatal cup. Marlin J. Orcutt vS. L. N. /\. &.C. Ry. Co. is lhe title of change of venue to this county from Porter, and will come up in the June term of court. It is for SIO,OOO damages.

The case was originally tried in the Lake county court and then ap pealed to Porter county and til ady brought to this county.
