FEBRMARY 9, TRB. ne, arene ~— — inal WASHINGTON LETTER, eae From onr Regular Correspondent.) Washington, Feb. 4, 98. Although it was known a week ago that the adyocates of the -pingle gold standard were defeat- ed, it was not supposed that they were Brepited to make such an absoluie acknowledgement of de- feat to the country as to abandon all attempts to get gold standard legislation through the House, which is entirely dominated by {zar Reed, wno is one of the boldest of the gold advocates. Such is the fact, however, Mr. Reed has decided that no finan- cial Jegislation shall be pat through the House at this ses- gion,and that all of his vower shall be used to keep anpropria- tions down and to bring about an eaily adjournment. Thet any bill supported by Mr. Reed could have been jammed through the House is certain, and only last week Mr. McKinley iniimated in his New York speech that a fir nancial bill would be passed by the House. From the heginning of the sessicn that has been generally understood to be the Republican programme. Now it has been abandoned. Why? Because there are many Congres- gional districts in which the Republicans are afraid to make campaign.in fayor of the gold siandard, and they donot aare to commit the party anv further i in that directionthan the defeat of the Teller resolution by Ozar Reed’s slaves did. However, that is clear enough for those who do not wish to be decieved. As Representative Dockery, ‘of Missounl, remarked: “This clears away allthe fog in the atmos- phere and makes the issus for 3893 and 1900 a purely financial one. Republicans will be unable henceforth to separate themselves trom the cause of the single gold standard. They are absolutely «omitted to it, and from it next fall there can be no escape.” There... Lave been a number of important conferences of repre- sentatives of the three parties that supports Bryan and eilyer in the last campaign held in Wash- ington during the last few days, but it 18 not deemed advisable to wake public what object is in qiew, further than tou say that it Jooks to a complete co-operation ef al! the silver forces in this year’s Congressional campaign. To go into detail might put the other side in-possession of more than it would be advisable for them to know. Representative Allen of Miss., {“Priyate John Allen, of Tupelo”) has applied the well-kaown story _ ofthe negro who baked a ’pse- sum, went to sleep beside it, and woke up to find the ’possum gone with the bones lying before him and’ Benga greare on his finger, =%lin my life.” _|says that itis inthe power of Mr. -~!McKinley to bring about imma- | and lips, to Republican talk of}. prosperity. The story makes the astonished darkey say: “Can it be possible dat I eat dat ’possam while I wuz asleep? It do took tike T must have eat him, but ‘fo’ God. dat poseum has less effect on my conetitution dan any possum I ever eat befo.” Mr. Allen says to the Republicans: “You tell us about prosperity and show figures that look like pros- perity, but ‘fo’ God, this prosper- has less effect on my constitution than and prosperity I ever had Senater Mason is one of the republicans—there are many more—who 1s not pleased with the do-nothing attitude of the ad- ministration toward Cuba, He diate peace on the. island, and that if something is not done soon he intends to offer a resolution calling up7n the president to de- mand peace, But the offering of such aresolution, and its adop- tion by the Senate, would aot change the present status a par- ticle. So long as the republicang it the Honse stifle their opinions andvote as CzarReed dictates it is useless for the Senate to do any- thing about Cuta. In the course of one of the strongest speeches, yet made against the annexation of Hawaii, Senator White of California, the new chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Com- mittee, took occasion to say, that he did not believe a word of the stories about the sugar trust bee ing Opposed to annexation, and to cell attention to the fact that some Senators who have genera!- ly been credited with sustaining friendly relations with the sugar trust were strongly in favor of annexation. The significent occurrence connected with the re- sumption of the consideration of the annexavion treaty by the Sen- ate was the voting down of the notion of Senator Thurston, of Nebraska, to postponeits further consideration wotil March 1. The motion was made by Mr. Thurston because he did not wich the treaty considered while Mr. Dole the President of Hawaii remained in Washington. No record yvots was taken, the motion being defeated by a rising vote. Although thisincident indicates that Mr. Thursten will vote against the treaty, sixty votes are claimed for it by Senator Davis. The vote is some weeks off, how- ever, it present plans are carried out. The latest ukase of the Czar.of the House is that there shall be no River and Harbor appropria- tion bill at this session of Gon- gress. This has caused a lot of protanity, as it had been under- stood by members of the River and Harbor committee and others that a bill carrying aot to exceed $12,000,000 would be allowed to pass, and the committee bad practically compieted such a bill. The Negro’s Real Friend, renee | The negro has no.real friendship at the North. We are willing to believe, tor we see something of it here, that the negro does not show to advantage after crossing the Potomac and the Ohio. Ji seems to us that the turther he wanders from the South the more bumptious and offensive he becomes, But this is largely ‘due to the fact that he realizes the hostile environments in which he js placed and in his foolish way resents it. The fact remains, however, that the negro’s best and most genuine friends are in the South and it is among the former slave-hold- ing classe? that he finds the truest esteem anu the most helpful rriendship. — Washington Post. them sympathy and help, open our churches, our schocl-houses, our colleges’ and university to them whether they are able to pay or not,.and both the church and the State will be safe in the years tocome.

A Fool's Errand, , The Klondike season is about :0.open and it is safe to predict that if 200,000 sons are preparing to jointhe spring rush to the land of gold. If this is true it shows that the fool population of this countrv is lamenably large. Itisstarted on good authority that all the desirable gold-bear- ing claimsinthe Klondike have been located and the only chance for the net-comer now is either to pay a big price for a claim or go to work on wages. There will certainly be an over-sapply of labor aud it is safe to predict 'that if 20,000 persons leaye this country for the Klondike this year nine out of ten of them will sufter unless they are amply sup- plied with money. ~Atlanta Jour- nal. A Bill to Check Contests, Attention has been called lately to the growing tendency to contest seats in Congress ard an effort is being made to suppress it, in a measure, by cutting off the premium which Con- gress has heretofore placed on contests. Under the present law, each party to: a contested seat is given $2,000, so every contest costs the government $4,000. bb another art, and at last they have succeeded in convincing the more open minded of us that what is of prime importance in a picture is the way in which it is painted and that its merely literary merit is quite secondary. They are not unreason- able when they insist that the chief duty of a picture is to represent the visible world, not to point a moral or adorn a tale, and that in the ap- preciation of a picture we must weigh first of allits pictorial beauty. Nor are the sculptors asking too much when ina statue they want us to consider chiefly its plastic beauty. Now, the orator and the dramatist ask for themselves what has been granted-the painter and the sculptor —they request that an oration or a drama shall be judged not as litera- ture only, but also in accordance with the principles of its own art, and here the literary critic is even less willing to yield. He may ac- knowledge his own ignorance of perspective and of pigments, of composition and of modeling; he may confess that here the painter and the sculptor have him at a dis- advantage, but he is not ready to adimit that. he is not to apply his own standards to the works of the orator and of the dramatist. On the contrary, he maintains that the speech and the play, if they belong to lit@ature at all, are, by that very fact, absolutely within the province of the literary critic. He cannot see why that which the ora- tor and the dramatist may write is not to be read and criticised exactly as that which is written by the nov- elist and the essayist and the poet. Indeed it is almost a misrepresenta- tion of the literary critic’s attitude to suggest that he has need to main- tain this position, for it is rarely even hinted to him that he is not fully justified in employing the same tests in every department of literature. Yet nothing ought to be clearer than the distinction between the written word and the spoken, be- tween the literature which is ad- dressed to the eye alone and that which is intended primarily for the ear and only secondarily for the e@. It is the difference between words written once for all and words first spoken and then written, or at least written so that they may be spoken. When this distinction is the same scale as written discourse. It follows also that the speech and each in its kind, although they may fail to attain thestandard of strictly literary merit which we shouid de mand in an essay, a story or a poem. — Professor Brander Mat thews in Forum.

Tawdry. Is your neighbor’s new frock tawdry, madam{f . Do you look with the eye of scorn upon its tinsel passementerie and its cotton backed velvet? But do you know why you condemn it with the epithet ‘‘taw- dry ¢”’ Well, back in the good old days when country fairs and patron saints were plenty there was one St. Au- drey, especially beloved of girls with a taste for trinkets. She was a good English saint, her name being a cor- ruption of St. Ethelrida.. She was reputed to have been rather fond of finery herself. Indeed the qualities whieh caused her canonization were so interwoven with other pleasingly frivolous ones that she died from a swelling in the throat due to the wearing of an overtight necklace, So St. Audrey was the patron saint of those who had/a youthful love of finery, and St. Audrey’s day: was the day of the qountry fair dearest to those who liked to buy gewgaws. It followed naturally that the mer- chants finally sold baubles that glit- tered more than the pure gold in them warranted, and by and by whenever a trinket tarnished vr a silk cracked the gossips said, ‘‘That was bought at St. Audrey’s fair.”’ From St. Audrey to tawdry was not such a long step.—New York Jour- nal, d seized, it follows that oral discourse is not necessarily to be measured on | the play may be very good indeed, | marshal of the Memphis municipal court. Idon’t remember the plaintiff in the case, but old Colonel Cocker- ill, who used toruna hotel where the Peabody is now, was the de- fendant. The case was tried and judgment given for the plaintiff. An execution was issued, and in those days the court had quarterly terms and all papers had to be serv- ed ‘during the quarter or a report made why they were not served. Well, I would go out and see the colonel and begin to urge him to do something toward paying the judg- ment, but he would always invite me into his room to take a mint julep. Then he would become so plausible and make so many prom- ises that I kept putting off the levy till the quarterly term was nearly up. About this time the attorney ‘for the plaintiff. came to me and said he was tired of fooling along like that and wanted to know how many mint juleps I had been drinking with the colonel. This scared me come, so I determined I would do something at once. “T went to see the colonel again, and after refusing the usual invita- tion totake the mint julep I told him that he would have to do some- thing. He said that if I would just wait till Tuesday, which was the last day of the term, he would set- tle up. “Suppose you make it Monday, colonel,’ I said, for I knew that if ] failed to make the levy on Tuesday my execution was dead, and I want- ed a day of grace. Well, the colonel agreed to settle up on Monday. ‘‘When Monday came, the colonel was awfully sick, and his three boys, who were in the office, would let nobody see him. There were in those days, just as there are now, a lot of men lying round and waiting to get on the jury. I had counted the doors of the hotel dining room, andI picked “out a man for each door and gave them $1.50 apiece and took them down to the hotel. When the gong sounded for dinner, I had aman stand at each door and not let any one goin. There was a great deal of travel in those days, and the people began to fill up the halls and wonder what was the matter. The doors of the dining room were glass, and the people could see the tables set and the waiters standing round, but they couldn’t get in. “This didn’t last very long before the old colonel sent for me. ‘I call this a low trick, Mr. Ball,’ he said. ‘“*No low trick at all, colonel,’ ‘saidI. ‘I have done a thing never dcne before in the world. I have levied on a hot dinner, and I am go- ing to hold it till that money's paid,’ “The colonel waxed wroth and swore he would beat the attorney in the case just as soon as he got well. But, finding that his getting hot did not keep the dinner trom getting cold, he finally sent for. the , book- kee; er, Who brought up about $500, whi i lacked just $150 of satisfying the ,edgment. The colonel wanted to get off with this, but I demanded security. He was lying in bed, and reached under his pillow and handed meawatch and chain worth twice | as much as was still due.’’—Mem- phis Commercial Appeal. Against His Conscience.
