EDITORIAL LETTER.
WAsnmo'rON, D. 0., Dec. 19th, 1887.
Dean Gazs'r'ra:— ' '
Washington woke up Sunday morning
to find itself coated with tllree inches Of
snow—just enough to make locomotion
“for man or beast," very beastly. The
weather generally, however, through all
of December, has been unusually mild
and pleasant—a mercy to the poor who
have to purchase coal, although coal is
retailing here at a dollar a ton less than
in Norwalk, with heavy penalties for
short weights and measures.
There will be no real business done by
either house of Congress until the mem-
bers return from their usual holiday re-
cess, in January. Reed, of Maine, the
conceded republican leader and incorrigi-
blc torturer of democrats in the House,
exploded a tariff and reduction of the sur-
plus bomb last week, under the free trad-
ers, which brought several leaders to the
front, but each in trrrn as rapidly hauled
of! to repair damages, while the Greeley-
faced Reed sat quietly couvrrlsed with
laughter at the "bulLin-tbc-china-shop"
act his wit, drollery and sarcasm had
wrought among “our friends. the one-
my.” .
Senator (fullom’s bill for a Postal Tele-
graph will be vigorously pushed by him-
self and other able men in both houses
this session, and it is believed that the
great masses of the American people will,
in the near future be able to use the elec-
tric for the conveyance of their messages
as freely and nearly as cheaply as they
now do the mails under the direction of
the government Senator Plan: has also
given this subject a most careful and ex-
haustive consideration. It is believed
that messages of ten words can be sent~
overa government telegraph for all dis-
tances under 1,000 miles for jive cents;
for distances over 1,000 and under 2,500
for ten cents, and for stations between the
Atlantic and Pacific coasts for 25 cents,with
correspondingly low rates for additional
words, and all without loss to the National
treasury. The feeling is fast becoming
universal among our foremost American
citizens of enterprise and patriotic order,
that the present system of Government
mail transportation is entirely too slow
for this progressive age, and. the foremost
nation on the globe in all that pertains to
modern invention and development.
woor. AND runners.
Since the meeting here of the Ohio,
Texas, and other western wool and sheep
raisers, protesting against the President's
scheme of destroying that industry, the
farmers of Vermont have been heard from,
The state grunge has instructed its execu-
tive committee to urge on Vermont’s rc-
presentatives in Congress, Opposition to
any and all forms of tarifl' tinkering, look-
ing to the removal of existing duties on
wool. They also claim that mutton is the
poor-man’s cheapest and best meat diet,
anti a removal of duty on wool, after the
plan proposed by Mr. Cleveland, not only
means rrrin to the wool industry of this
country, but destruction of the mutton
product, on which so large a share of our
laboring population rely for their meat
supply. This, they claim, is a far more
serious matter to the whole American
people than ruin to the output of wool.
THE xax'r Puasrbaxov.
The lull in legislation gives zealous and
highly-charged politicians ample time to
speculate on Presidential probabilities
next year. The tariff or protection demo-
crats here feel that Cleveland has nar-
rowed his chances Of re-election by his ill-
considered free trade pronounciamento,
while anti-tariff democrats deem his elec-
' tion more certain because of it, claiming
that for every protectionist democratic
vote he loses, he will gain two from lung—
wumpy-free trade republicans of the New
York Times school. Both wings Of the
democracy deem Mr. Cleveland’s renomi-
nation as absolutely certain.
On the republican side there are whisper-
ings in the air that Mr. Blaine does not
desire a renomination for himself; but
does intimate a belief that gallant and
dashing Gen. Phil Sheridan would be our
strongest candidate. Other strong Blaine
men in event of his declining a nomina-
tion, are pronounced for Chauncy Depew,
for Gov. Foraker, and Senators Inwalls
and Allison, while a small contingent, un-
willing to be classified as “Blaine men,"
prefer Edmunds or Sherman.
The St. Louis Globe-Democrat unfurls
the following good ticket:
For President in 1888. Robert Todd
Lincoln, of Illinois; for Vice-President,
Joseph Rosrvell Hawley, of Connecticut.
This would have. the merit of local
strength at least among Connecticut rc-
publicans, while Mr. Lincoln would be a
pOWer in the West. He is something far
more than “the son of his father," grateful
and generous as that sentiment would be
to the people.
The Ulysses (Kansas)
hoisted the following ticket:
For President, James G. Bursa; for
Vice-President, JOHN J. INGALLS.
It seems to be conceded that if Mr.
Blaine consents to run again, no republi-
can convention is likely to be convened, a
majority of the delegates to which will not
be zealous for his renominatiou. It is
boldly asserted by his more ardent friends
that he did carry New York at the last
election, and was actually elected, but
was “counted out" by a rascally moni—
putation of the city vote. Other friends,
less extreme, perhaps, aver that no other
republican candidate can capture as many
democratic votes, or can come as near
carrying the empire state over the enor-
mous democratic majority given by their
hordes of the baser and crrminal classes of
New York city. We conjecture it can be
very positively asserted that Mr. JOHN
Janus Dreams, (by all odds the keeuesl
and brightest intellect in the United States
senate), is not “hankering" tO become the
tail to anybody‘s Presidental kite. About
all there is of comfortable or seculent
honor in occupying the Vice-President's
chair is already being enjoyed by the bril-
lant and erudite statesman from Kansas.
Whenever Ire shall vacate his present
occupancy, we doubt if there will be juice
enough in that lemon apparent to his keen
and sagaclous eyes, to excite the faintest
desire to sit there again, and through a
term of four years, even by the generous
sutferages of a majority of the American
people. If Mr. Blaine is to be withdrawn,
where could we of the nutmeg state “bar-
ness rlp” a speedier “double team" to
to put on the Presidential race-course than
Kansas’ brilliant statesman and Connecti
cut's gallant soldier, Dreams and Haws“!

1n the reorganization of the Senate Cour-
rnittces, Connecticut has been mor- than
ordinary fortunate. Senator Platt having
been advanced from Patents. to Terri-

gifted young lawyer graduate from the

De. Krmtan, DEAR Sm :—-I wrote you
some time ago about my case, without
the least faith you could do anything for
me, as I had six different physicians and
got no relief, and was repeatedly told that
I could not be cured, but. I was bound to
keep trying as long as life lasted. I was
urged by my wife to write you about my
case, as I did in the spring. You wrote
to try your Swamp—Root Kidney, Liver
and Bladder cure. I used it as directed
and the result was, before I had taken the
third bottle I was entirely cured, and have
been gaining ever since. My case was a
hemorrhage of the bladder, which had
been draining my life for two years, and I
can say to—day that I can eat, sleep and
work better than I have before in twenty
years I say God bless you and may the
afflicted do as I have done. Use Swamp—
Root and be healed. Yours truly, GEO. .
DJMACOMBER.

FOR YOUNG FOLKS.
SINCE its first issue, 1111873, this magazine
has maintained with unuispnrcd recog-
nition. the position it. took at the beginning-—
that of being the most excellent juvenile peri-
odical ever printed. The best known names
' in literature were on its list of contributors
iron: the start—Bryant, Thomas Hughes, Long-
fellow. George MacDonald, Brete Harte, Buy-
ard Taylor. Frances Hodgson Burnett, James
T. Field-i, John G. Whittier; indeed the list is
so long that it would be easier to tell the few
authors of note who have not contributed to .
l
“the world’s child magazine."
THE EDITOR, MARY MAPES DODGE,
Author of “Hans Drinker,” or, “ The Silver
Skates,” and other popular books for young
folks,—and for grown up fo'ks,—too, has a re-
mar-liable faculty for knowing and entertaining
children. Under her skillful leadership, St.
