WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our Recrular f'orrespondent.
Washinoton, l'eb. 17, 18S8.
The week's work in congress bo
far makes a poor showing;. Both
the senate and house have accom
plibhed less than usual. The Dis
trict of Columbia ha had more at
tention than any other section of
Uncle Sam' domain, and several
bills of local interest have been
passed. There has been no lack of
interesting debate, however, in both
ends of the capitol .
A quartette of territories are
knocking louldlj for admission to
the sisterhood of states, and an en
abling act will soon be reported
which will probably be passed be
fore the session ends. An "en
abling act" doej not enable, wtrictljr
speaking. Ah Mr. Springer says
(he is clmiraian of the committee
on territories) it is simply au act of
encouragement. After such en
couragement, the territory forms a
state constitution, constructs the
machinery for state government,
prepares for admiasion into the
Tniou of states and demands it.
The aspirants alluded to me (Da
kota, Montana, Washington and
New Mexico. I did not mention
Utah, who did not wait for congress
to give her the initiative. The peo
ple of I'tnh held their territorial
convention, adopted a fctute cousti
tution aud now demand admission
to the Union. This they had a
right to do. Chairman Springer says,
only thev will have to pay nil of
their own t-xponses; whereas, if they
had waited for congress to pass an
enabling act, the United States j
treasury wo'iM have paid all tlieir
expenses.
The lllaine letter of declination
created quite a stir in political cir- j j,:,rt of the world, and lias drifted all the
ties here. Interest in it was pr-jW:,v fr, South uierica. It would
ticularly intense in the senate, for ,,,ake ,,uite a valuable stick of limUr for
ipiite a number of tlie senators have! noim one to pick up.
had the preside i.ti.il I ce Lu.xing in , . , , ((f .h! Horticultural
their ears for a long lime. Senator
Hiiwley, Sherman, Allison and a
few others were even congratulated,
laughingly, that the path to tho
presidential nominatioii had ltcn
ho hapily opened to them.

i presidential iiianiu. Tbcv Hav that
the measure of his ambition is tilled
within the oflice he now holds, and
that he has uo intention of piung
' iug into poli! ic il strife. .If so. the
'pathway is still nmre open to those
who aie willing to enduro the wear
of mind and bo.lv , the vexation of
stunt and sickness of soul that must
i .i ,i

Sunday last was an unusually
busy day amoiipf temperance work
era of Washington. Lirgn meet
ings were held and htirring address
es were made iu different parts of
the city. Notable unions the
speeches made for prohibition wore
those of Congressman Cutcheon, of
Missouri, nnd K. IL Taylor, of Ohio.
A Washingtonian ways that Home
of the bills pending in congress iu
relation to the District of Columbia
arc calculated to create the imprea-
sion that parents in this city desire
the federal government to take
charge of their children. He waa
alluding particularly to a bill intro
duced by Senator Chace, of llhode
Tsland, providing that tobacco shall
not be sold iu any form to residents
of the District under nitUeu yearn
of age.
The llair Kd ueational bill, which
has had such a long and tempestu
ous voyage through the senate, has
wt last passed that liody again, by a
vote of 3! to '2'J The bill his oc
cupied mueli valuable time of three
congresses, and has gained no con
verts in tho M-nate wing. A com
parison of this Iad vole with that of
two years ago, shows that the longer
the measure has been thought of
and talked of, the weaker it grow
Everv senator who voted against itj
lief ore voted against it on thi.t last
i i- i .
Hiding , - jeu -
Voorhees,
ators Kenna, Blackburn
and Spooner, who voted iu favor of
it two years ago, voted against it on
Wednesday. It is believed by many
that the bill stands no show of pet
ting safely through the bouse.
Senator Blair himself made the
closing speech on his cherished
measure, and in it attacked the
Jesuits for their opposition to the
common school system.

"npany to extend th west side railroad
IV.. m ('nivil'is to Drain fetation, in

Douglas county, says the Oregonian. The
extended road would follow up the valley
of the Long Tom river, thence from its
headquarters through a gap in the .Siuslaw
mountain on to the Siuidaw valley; thence
through to Pasa creek through a gap at
the head of Rock creek , and down Pass
creek to Drain station. Thia route was
onoe surveyed hy Ben Holladay, and, it
is said waa deemed the best route, but
Eugene attnH-ted the road to the Pan
creek route. This extension will require
alsiut ;vcnty miles of railroad, and will
open up a fertile agricultural country to
txtter tranaporution laciuties, also to a
valuable lumber district. The petition is
in circulation from Corvallit to Drain and
will le signed hy all.

girl dea l from heart disease. j
Miss tl ii linger promised Holmes
to say nothing about the matter, but j
after Miss Kood was buried sho told j

and Miss Hood was found to be .
alive, though life hung by a slender
tluead. Tho latest advices nay the j
girl is in the same state, j

Job was a wonderfully afllictod
man, but ai a partial compcnaatlon
for it he had the ayiupatby of the
I human raco for 4,000 yeara. But it
i ,,ot ,,een wit Job'a wife;
nobody baa ever spoken a kind word
to her. On the contrary, ahe hftf
been held up for forty centuries as a
horrible example, liut for all that
we are confident the poor woman
deserves a be'ter place in history
than she hat ever occupied. . If ahe
waa aour-teiupered, ahe had enough
to give an acid tinge to her dis
position. She waa mad to drink
and it H probable tuat an Dora uer
troubles with about as much
equanimity as tho average woman
would do.
In the first place ahe was suddenly
reduced from luxury to penury,
,Dy unfortunate woman who has
suffered this ordeal knows juat the
frame of mind poor Mrs, Job was in.
In lb" next place, ahe was bereft
of her children There is no grief mo
burdensome as that which falls upon
a mother's heart when the grave
hides her children from sight.
In addition to this accumulation
of sorrows she was left with an in
valid husband on her hands. Job
was covered with boils, and ex
perieuce has taught us that there is
no moro exasperating patient than a
man with a boil on him. There are
wives, and good wives, too, in this
Christian land of ours whose lives
have been made mot miserable for
days unl weeks at a time by a hus
band and oho boil. Just think, then,
what this poor woman had to endure
with a husband with perhaps from
500 to 1.00 ) boils on him. Is it
any wonder that tho woman en
couraged her hiiNband to terminate
his existence? Tho only wonder is
that sho didn't cut her own throat
in despair. ,
Hut these were not all the troubles
that Job's wife had to bear. Her
lundiand'H friends came on a visit to
hiia and t inV possession of the
house fur ix weeks at a time.
Other women, and good women, too,
have had to endure (ho same alllic.
tion, and they can very easily account
for Mrs, Job's exhibition of .bad
temper. Job got worried with tho
three visitors himself, nnd yet he
didn't have (o wait on them, to clean
up their rooms, to wipo tho tobacco
juico from the parlor carpet every
day, to sweep out tho mud they
carried in on their boots, and to
submit to tho thousand and one
annoyances that it n.alo visitor gives
tho housekeeper,
It is about t i mo that somebody
wns raising a voice in defense of
Job's wife and haying
a kind word
for the poor woman who, for 4,000
years, has suffered the slings of
unjust criticism in uncomplaining
silence.
Thero are a great many fob's wives
in tho world to-day. We meet them
every day. They may not have
husbaud with boils on their bodies,
but they huvo husbands who go to
tho club of evenings. They have
husbands who are selfish enough to
devote all their time to business and
pleasure without considering that a
portion A' that time of right belongs
to tho v oinaii, tho charm of whose
existence is his companionship, The
Job's wives of to-day are the women
who are burdeped with tho care and
sorrows of this life and wno get no
sympathy, Aud their name is legion.
