WASHINGTON LETTER.
From out Regular Correspondent,
Wabhimotox January 6, 1888.
The good old American fashion of
making New Year's ealle is as prera
lent as ever in the eapitol city,
while it is being abandoned grad
ually In most of the other large cities
of the country; it will probably re
main for Washington to preserve
this time-honored custom, as the fact
that the president of the United
States sets the example will always
make New Year's calling both fash
ionable and popular in this city.
This year was nshered in by the
usual grand reception of public dig.
nitaries and private citizens by the
heasidLth sjetiosu and y ,, there
were who regarded the affair as a
hilarious occasion, not observing the
proprieties of dress and decorum
tint usually characterize presidential
receptions ttt this season.
The only unGnisbeJ business now
before the senate is the Blair educa
tional bill, and Senator Blair, who
is the champion of the measure, will
persist in claiming the attention of
the senate for Lis pet scheme until
it ia pressed to passage. It is
known that the bill will be opposed
both in the senate and house, and
debates of considerable length are
anticipated. Senator Reagan will
speak in the negative his oppo
sition being based upon constitu.
tional objections. The constituents
of Southern members are bringing
much influence to bear in favor of
the measure, and other sections of
the country are using efforts in the
same direction; there seems little
reasion to doubt the passage of the
; bill, though the prospect is that the
president will veto it on account of
jjs paternal aud centralizing charac
ter.
'resident Cleveland and Secietary
Lamar tie exerting themselves for
the passage of n bill, drawn by the
latter, to appoint a commission of
three military officers and two
civilians to treat xith the Indians
for the purpose of getting them
more compactly Mettled moving the
tribes to the eastern portion of the
Iiuliuu territory, with the object of
openingtwenty milion acres of land
in the western part of the territory
to the stjttletnent of immigrants.
To this it is proposed to annex "No
Man's Land," covering three million
acres, and thus constitute a new
territory nbout the size of the state
of Ohio. This is virtually a revival
of the project of forming the terri-
torv of Oklahoma, which has been this city Tuesday, removed a man who
agitated a long time, but there doea!nnv hrLed a few davsnf lein? a eenten-
not appear to l much prospect of
its success.
It is probable thai the territories
of lakota, Washington and Mon
tana will be admitted as states dur
ing the present session of congress, I
but that they will not bo admitted
to have a vote in the next presi
dential election.
Mr. Seney, of Ohio, will re-introduce
into the house a bankruptcy
bill, which has tho merit of being
the simplest solution of that vexed
problem yet proposed; it provides
that, while a debtor makes an assign
ment in trust in favor of his credit
ors, turning over all of his property
without reserve, he can apply to a
United States court for a release,
which shall be granted, after it is
shown that he has made an assign'
ment in good faith; after which the
settlement is to be made in the
courts of the state. It is hoped that
some such bill will psa, fir a
mt onal bankrupt law has Ion"; been
one of the great needs of the
country.
A case of such national import
ance that it has been advanced on
the docket of the supreme court of
tLm United States, so as to be heard
on the 9th inst, ia the noted boycott
trial of a member of the Knights of
Labor in this city, in which the
lower court decided that a boycott
is a common conspiracy, and that
the offending person is subject to
fine and imprisonment. It can be
seen at n glance that the action of
the supreme court will either
strengthen or totally destroy the
great organization known as the
Knights of Labor; hence the wide
interest felt in the case.
Paupers Helped to America
New Yoi.k, .Jan. 12. Michael
Griffin, an Irishman from Tralee,

authorities were sending paupers to
the United State through Canada.
The family was taken care of by the

or detention, in connection with the
numberless daily arrivals of xitwie

. A Sure Itemed for Smallpox.
Edward Hi tie, a Travertree cor
respondent of the Liverpool Mer
cury, fccnd the following to that
paper: "No disease is so repulsive
as smallpox, nnd none so generally
dreaded. I am willing to risk my
reputation ns a public man if the
worst case of Muallpox cannot be
effectively cured in three days aim
ply by rreatu of tartar. This is a
sure nud never failing remedy. One
ounce of cream of tartar dissolved
in a pint of boiling water, to be
drank when cold, at short intervals.
It can be taken nt any" time, and is
a preventive ns well as a curative.
It is known to have cured in a hun
dred thousand cases, without a sin
gle failure, I have myself restored
bundled by this means. It never
leaves a mark, never causes blind
ness, and always prevents tedious
lingerings. 1 1 is so effectual that if
properly used would dispense with
tho unnatural law of vaccination
and the cosily staff of vaccinators,
for smallpox never appears without
a need, and then ought to be puri.
fying and healthful to tho system,
and when capable of being so quick
ly removed need never be feared
above a cold or an overflow of bile.
