Washington Letter.
From our regular CorrsspcradsBW
Washington, Dec. 30th, 1895.
Speaker Reed was given a taste ot
what eort o! a job he has on his hands
when that bond bill was pat through the
house, and the result was probably one
olthe worothalf hoars he ever spent.
He won, and the bill went through by a
majority of thirty-three, but il the vote
could have been put off until today it is
believed he would have lost and the bill
have been defeated, instead of being sent
over to the senate to die by being smoth
er ea uy amenamems. ai was w vu
incidsnc that the revolting republicans
were mostly McKinley men. It was on
the contrary a very plain intimation to
Mr Reed that the McKinleyites intend to
make things unpleasant for him when
ever they get an opportunity. Another
notable thing about this short but sharp
ekirmiah was the indication of an un
derstanding having been reached be
tween the Reed and Allison republicans
of the house. Mr Reed is doubtless very
glad that the house concluded to make
this week a holiday. It will give him
time to pull himself together and ar
range his program.
Congress has by a joint resolution
which passed without opposition au
thorized the Secretary of the Navy to
accept the ram Katahdin, which was re
jetted by the president for failure to
make the speed required in the contract,
at the contract price, it having been
shown that the builders were not to
blame, they having constructed the ves
sel on government plans.
Representative Johnson of California
is one of the republican members of the
house who openly kicked against the
bond and tariff bills forced upon the
majority of the house by the will and
power of Speaker Reed. Mr Johnson
voted for the tariff bill under protest,
but he with forty-six other republicans
refused to vote for the bond bill, which
he declared gave the lie to every princi
ple and precept of the republican party
There is little donbt in the minds of
" many that a majority of the democrats
in the house want Reed to get the re
publican nomination for president. Why
doesn't matter at this stage of the game.
A prominent demociatic member nf the
house says this feeling is so strong
among the democrats of that body that
he believes they would not hesitate to
help Reed if it became probable that any
. of his opponents for the nomination
were trying to put anything through
the house for the purpose of handicap
ping Reed before the Republican Nation
al Convention, if such help was needed
to beat the scheme. Needless to say it
isn't love for Reed which actuates them
Senator Voorhees says be doesn't see
" the need for upsetting the business of
the country by a prolonged debate on the
tariff bill that has passed the house, and
that he will endeavor to get the bill to a
, vote as soon as possible. The senate
committee on Finance will take up the bill
at once, and of iu action Senator Voor
hees, who was chairman of the committee.
under the democratic organization of the
senate, Kfc "I think the bill will be re
ported back to the senate almost immedi-
ately. But, then, you can't tell what wil
happen. There are some crumbs lying
around, and every protectionist is after all
he can get. There is no disposition on the
part of democrats to delay action on the
bill. If delay comes it will be from the
other side." Senator Voorhees, is of
course.- strongly opposed to the bill.
Motherhood.
The following is from the Pacific Em
pire. It is one view of a subject people
are talking about: The near approach of
the time for tne execution of Loyd Mont
gomery, tne unfortunate victom of unto
ward conditions who awaits his doom
for the murder of his father, mother and
friend in the Albany jail, makes the
publication of Fanny L. Francher's
"Motherhood" story as it appears in
this week's Empire, exceptionally op
portune.
advanced science teaches mac every
permanent propensity, whether for good
or evil, is enetauaped upon the inner
consciousness of the embryotic infant by
the temporary conditions that surround
motherhood during gestation. If this
knowledge were properly implanted in
the mind of every child as soon as it at
tains the years of discreation, men and
women would surround themselves with
snch conditions as would enstamp the
very existence of children with love, con
fidence, joy oneness and celf-ecnlrol.
Every mother of a moral or mental
monstrosity knows, whether she would
admit the fact or not, that somewhere,
on some occasion, or may be constantly
dining the gestatory period, she was the
victim of surroundings, impressions, and
circumstances of which the erring son or
daughter is the teceesary reflex. False
mcdeety, which is only another name
for prurience, must step aside before the
anvancing dawn of enlightenment
-juiow myself is an injunction wan a
deeper mr aniug than appears upon the
surface. "The proper study of mankind
is man," said an immortal bard of the
by-gonejeenturies, and the world will
go on repeating the axiom till all who
reason can comprehend its lull signifi
cance, and stop their part, at least, of
the grt-at tragedy of wrong conditions
nnder which evil-doeis are born.
"What is man's greatest need?" asked
Principal David E. Gadds, of Grammar
School No. 4, of several hundred boys
and girls, ranking in age from 7 to J2
years, a :ew davs since.
Up went Ki tie hands in all paits of the
room, but to a little girl in one of the
front row of sea's, who seemed particu
larly eager to answer, Principal Gaddt
said: "Well, little girl, what do you
think is man's greatest need?''
"Soap and water," was the p-oud and
confident reply.
Even Principal Gadds could not refrain
from indulging in a hearty laugh, which
spread all over the school room, so con
tagious was it. Exenange.
A prosperous national future demands
that the government be run on business
principles, in economy and in the de
tails of the work ; ditto as to the state
government; ditto as to county affairs;
ditto as to city matters- That is not the
style though. Officials are paid several
times what they would make at other
things, and twice as many are employed
as a man would employ in business, and
an nnneceEsary red tape is resorted to
that is excruciating.
Walla Walla people were greatly ex
eiled overs temporary rise in wheat of I
about 0 cents. It didn't last though.
It is about time some new woman
laieed a regiment for the Venezuela war.

Gentlemen of the common council :

thanks for the manner In which you
have discharged your official obligations,
for the harmony of your deliberations
and for your provident and economical
management of the affairs of the city.

inn off the surface water. During tne
wet season it has betn the custom of
everr one to dump one or more loads of
oravel in front otibisown door or place
of business and next to tne siaewais,
iust where the gutter ought to be, often
making it higher than the adjoining
natt of the street, m m to give a dry
place near his premises. This ha Been
practiced to such an extent mat iu
aides of the streets where the gutters
hnnlrl ha ua much the highest, and
the center, being the lowest, is a recep
tide for the surface water and is always
a bad condition. During the past
year, under your direction, the street
annerintendent has rounded up the
streets and opened the gutters in a por
tion of the city. Where thia has been done
the streets are very much improved and
their condition is in marked contrast
with the others.
The care and improvement of streets
and sidewalks is the moet important
business of every city, tltw to care for
thorn in the beat manner with the least
expense, has been and is the principal
study of all city authorities, r-o ouier
item of city expenses w as large as mat
required for the building acd keeping ia
repair of streets and eideaalks. For
this reason the system of improvements
to be adopted should be carefully con
sidered, and the methods of making
such improvements diligently studied
One does cot'learn the best methods of
road building by intuition; it requires
thought, research, investigation. .
Theneonleof the united States are
beginning to find out that good road
building was not generally understood.
Recently numerous essays, pamphlets
and books have been written on this
nbiect. "Good Road" societies have
been organized for the purpose of con
sidering the better methods of oad
building forgiven localities or conditions.
On this subject Mr. Morton, the secre
tary of agriculture, in Lis last annual re
port says: "Improved road construction
ia progressing in many of the states,
notably in Massachusetts, New Jersey,
North Carolina and Kentucky ; more
than half of the states have passed new
road laws within the past year and there
is a general effort to ascertain the best
methods of developing tLe roads.
Some of the stales have passed laws
directing that their highways be con
structed upon improved plans and by
improved methods.
The last legislature of Massachusetts
appropriated $400,000 for the construc
tion of highways on a new system,' and
this new system was such an improve
ment on the old it at once won each uni
versal public favor that the republican
and democratic state conventions both
recently declared in their platforms in
favor of good road and the new system.
And it is claimed that the Higfaway
Commissions" of that'state will recom
mend to the next legislature that one
million dollars be appropriated for the
continuance of the work nnder the new
system.
Within the last few years numerous
road machines have been invented, of
more or less merit, for grading, rolling
and other work connected with the con
struction of roads and streets. Large
factories have been built and millions of
dollars expended in the manufacture of
improved road machines best adapted
for the naee intended. Notwithstanding
this spirit of progress that ia abroad,
oar own fair city of Albany still relies
upon and adheres to the primitive im
plements,' the pick and shovel, with
which to make her road improvements.
The poor condition of onr streets is
owing in part to the imperfect and de
fective provisions of our former city
charter and partly to a total disregard of
its most essentialand important provis
ions in street construction. By your
wise suggestion better and more liberal
provisions for tbe improvemeLt of the
streets were inserted in the city charter
passed by the last legislsture. These
provisions, together- with tbe annual
road tax secured to the city, affords the
means of a thorough and systematic im
provement of our streets. Albany bas
over twenty-five miles of streets to be
drained and about seventy, eatch baains
connected with the sewers to aid in car
rying off the surplus water. Until re
cently no gutters were opened and the
catch basins were useless. Under your
direction tbe street superintendent has
opened np about one mile of gutters and
connected them with the catch basins
with very marked improvement to the
streets where tucb work bas been done.
If the system of street improvement in
augurated by yoa is carried out with
improved methods, in a few years the
streets of Albany . will be in excellent
condition.
I congratulate you because for tbe
first time in eight years, notwitbstand-:
ing the larxe amount of street improve
ment accomplished during tbe past year,
the expenditures of the city during tne j
year 183a have been kept within its in
come, which appears from the repoitof
the city recorder.
No individual . can prosper when his
expenditures exceed bis income ; neither
can a city, a state or a nation. A city,
like an individual, must live wh bin its
income, otherwise It is only a question of
time when bankruptcy will ensue.
It appears from the recorder's report
ol the financial condition of the city,
that the outstanding city warrants Jan.
1, 1896, are as follows:
Bridge warrants. ..$ 0073 88
Linn Co. warrsut for interest.. &.0 00
General warrants prior to 181)4 113 00
Warrants for 1894 14 00

Excess of warrants without int
erest over money on hand. .2617 95
Total $10,559 93
About $3009 of interest is claimed on
the outstanding warrants. '",7
Tbe payment of the bridge warrants,
to-wit: 19073 98 was enjoined at tbe
suit of one of our citizens on the ground
that the contract for . building the bridge
was illegal and void, and on the further
ground that neither tbe contract nor the
city ordinances provided for the pay )
mentof interest,
1 am informed by the attorneys of the
plaintiff that their client would dismiss
the suit if the defendant would accept
the principal. As the matter is before
the courts it would be unseemly to dis
cuss its merits here. Should the bridge
company prevail as to the interest and
prinsipal, the indebtedness of the city
over and above its bonded indebtedness
will be over f 5600.
It it should prevail as to the principal
and, not as to tne interest, the indebted-
ness of the city will be $2617 83 over and

The Food Question.
Editor taaocra:
The young lady who organized the
Vegetarian Annex at the Columbia Ex
position, has given np her bright pros
pect of a brilliant artistic career in order
to try and make the world a little better
than what she found it Basing her
opinion on those of the me Jical experts
who have etcdied the drink question in
relation to diseases, she labors by organ
izations and by pectorial tectures, to
introduce a more nutritious and a more
natural diet than that in vogue.
At the time of the hue and cry about
the over-pressure of the schools in Lon-
don. She was convinced that the true
ft, of the case were under feeding,
ratjier than over pressure. Miss May
Yatea was largely instrumental in organ-
king the half-penny (one cent) dinners of
vegetarian soup and whole wheat bread
and cake for the children.'
The resolution drafted by Dr. Benja
mins Ward Richardson was adopted at
the last World's Woman's Christian
Temperance Union, and Miss Yates was
made head of tbe department known as
the" Worlds Food Reform DeoartmenU''
, This was instituted, the Resolution says,
because "it is now recognized that inebri
ety is continually the result of diseased con
ditions, produced in a large measure, by
injudicious and insufficient diet.'
All parents would do well to study the
lines of this subject, so as to understand
that a rich and over plentiful table does not
necessarily provide the sort of nourishment
required to build up a hearty constitution

throw off the seeds of disease, that of in
ebriety as well as others. L.
