SOUTH I'ORK Of THE NILE.
Et. Chant Co. Nkws: As you
solicit correspondence for your val
uable paper I thought I would
write you a line or two. Tho "buck
aroos" had a social dance on the
South Fork Inat week and ono Da
vid of old feeling as if ho was
aboard n whaling vessel crossed
over the Nile and jumped in at
Mathew Bond's door, slew !10 Phil
istines in one .day and "can slay
thousands moro if need be." Tho
good ollicer D. directed a righthand
er at David's left ear and felled
him. David after regaining his
equilibrium directed a left bander
nt the good ollicer D'h head and
felled him, and while tho good olli
cer was arising tho Queen Ollicer
I), directed n right bander at Da
vid's head and felled him a goner,
or at least sent him down to Davy
Crockett's. So the good Ollicer p.
nroao nnd quietly said to tho chief
musician v. "l'lny that good old
tune thoy call (let thero Eli!" And
David of old had to retreat to his
stronghold nnd change bis biggest
gun to the muzzle and plant her on
tho Rosebud heights, and now says
"let the good work go on," so all
went Boronuly nnd ovorybody went
homo feeling as if they had n good
time. S. U.

than a minute. Then we debated
on tho winter and weather, but the
members hail the blues, and tho
subject was notably handled. Next
wo had election and installation of

and install them I mado a motion
that tho same officers hold ovor for
tho ensuing term (which is about

motion wns carried. .Miss Ruha

voted that sho bo initiated nnd bo n
member of Skookum Grange. Ru
hamio being in waiting, was duly
installed, tutor which she wns in
troduced to all thu brothers uud
sisters in tho Grange, but hero she
made a great blunder in being un
just. Ruhntnio 'kissed nil the sis

alty for such conduct is expulsion.

had our fill nnd some of them Tilled

the question: "Is high license
moro effective to suppress tho liquor
trallio than prohibition?" Debated
strongly, but prohibition carried
teetotal, mat s tt. Hy next Juno
Skookum Grango will liavu a strong

in txnver feels tho added resiwnsl
hility granted hy tho new rules nnd
knows that tho jvooplo will bo plena
od to see small appropriations. Tho
republican leaders recognize that nn
enrly ndjournineut, lenving tho rog
ulnr business of legihlation elenred,
would give them n big argument in
tho noxt national campaign. Thuv
see ulso tho danger of jiossessing all
branches of the government should
special legislation and the host of
privato bills onco got an opportuni
ty to dolny tho House. Tho only
possible Hcheino ueoniH to bo to close
up slioj) and shut oil' unnecessary
legislation.
A voto on tho rules, under tho
Hpriuger motion, will bo reached
Friday night. After that tho con
tested election can's will bo disused
of ns rapidly ns convenient. The
now rules will striukingly cxnedito
tho ncccssarially partlzan action In
ken in such cases. Filibustering
will bo impossible.
Apart from tho iuestion of politi
cal oxnedieney, ndjourninentsliould
not tako place until some of tho ev
er increasing claims ngainRt tho
government are settled. However
great the amount to como out of tho
publiu froasury, tho United .States
should pay its debts to privato citi
zens. .As it has been for years, tho
man with a privato hill for reim
bursement might as well have a
suit in the Kuglish chancery court.
Many of this sort of bills havo been
pending for twenty-live years. IJv
oryono has known many of them to
bo just and yet tho claimants havo
been allowed to tlio of worry ami
hovo deferred. Money has unjustly
been withheld from political mo
tives. And it is likely that it will
bo withheld. It is easy enough to
get sympathy and intliicnco for a
measure that may ho of advantage
in elections, hard enough to get jus
lite dono, where only ono man will
bo honelltte.
Two significant instances of race
trouble as far north as tho Capital
havo occurred in tho past week.
Hopresentativo Grimes tho other
day walked into dinner at the Klggs
hotel, nnd discovered u negro ex
minister to Sau Domingo eating nt
the snmo table. Mr. Grimes is
from Georgia, and tho ell'ect can ho
imagined. Ho walked out to the
cashier's desk, paid his bill and
moved his quarters to a moro con
gunial ntmoiphcro' Ho has been
followed hv sovornl oth(njjro;ijij)iui
guesTS. 1 lioro is 11 strong projudleo
ngniusl his action among thu local
friends of tho colored race. Mr.
Grimes simply states that the timo
has not yet como when ho will stop
at mixed hotels.
Tho second instance occurred
over tho appointment by tlio inllu
onco of Senator lliscook of it bright
young colored girl as a printer's as
bistant in tho bureau of printing
and engraving. Tho relations be
tween a printer and his assistant
nre very cIojo, Thoy work all day
sido hy sido and tho samo printer
may have thu samo assistant year
after year. Tho appointment of n
colored girl has never been thought
of before, and tho printers so far
havo refused to work with this one.
She is now temporarily employed
in n messenger, while tho printers
nre determining what final action to
tako and montally swearing at .Sen
ator lliscook.
These iii.staucou illustrate ns well
ns niiything enn tho growing com
plications in the intercourse between
tho two races. Colored clerks in
tho departments have long been ac
cepted, and have Leon appointed by
