. WADHJITOTOH. An IntoraBtinc Letter Iron Our Regular CorroBpondjnt at tfco Capital. Wasiiinoton, (). C.) Pec. C, 1&S0. Editor Ohkuo.v Scorr: A really complete concensus of the opinion of members of tbc House nml fc-'enuto ns to tbu prcsidnnl's message is of course impossible to secure. Tbc majority have no definite opinion to pivc. A few southern democrats ex press their opinion of his remarks on ballot-box fraud against the negro in rather pictures pie language, but that is nbout all. The message is an un usually long one, but this is tbc fault of necessity, as the manifold interests of the goveruinont broaden with every year, audit is (ho duty of the presi dent to "give the Congress information of the stales of the union." Viewed from a literary standpoint the doeument is much inferior to such polished. efforts as President Arthur's Inst message to Congress, and even to President Cleveland's la bored ellbrts. Put while the language is commonplace it is also business like and there is no straining for elfoet. President Harmon is not the man to lie awalte nights trying to think up soino expression that shall tickle the ear of the groundlings. Perhaps, un like Peaconsfield, he does not believe that "tho world is governed by words and not by ideas." The president's position on the South, tho civil service and on tho sil ver coinage, will meet with most oppo sition. On tho tariff and MirpliiH question he adheres clearly to the dec laration of his party. As to pensions there w no doubt of his liberality, and his wish that no union soldier should ever bo allowed to die in a poor house, will mei:t a hearty response. Tho president is 'Apposed to free coinage of silver and doubt- the wisdom of any e.ojieideiablo increase of tho present rate of eoinage. In other words while ho likes silver ho is not, in the beauti ful lamsuauoof thestieot. "stuck" on it. Tho nomination of David .1. Piower of Kansas to succeed the late Stanley Mathews on the Supremo Pencil was a gieat, surpiise, having only been ru mored about twunty-four hours befoio it was actually made. The nomination was duo largely to tbu intlueneo of Senator l'lumb. In view of .hidgo Pi-ewer's lack of party record further than having always been a consistent and pu-.-istent ollieo holder, it is likely that his nomination will bo less popu lar than would have been that of cer tain other prominent candidates for the position. Judge Prower is tho son of a missionary, being born in Smyrna, Asia-Minor. IIo was educa ted in this country. Ho is connected with several prominent American fami lies. 1 In is a nephew of Justice Field's, and it will bo the first time in tho bis toiy of the country when two men so elofoly alliid have sat upon tho bunch together. Judge Prower is a victim of asthma ami tho moist clima'.o of Washington will be the greatest draw back to bin now home. The Senate adhoied to the lime hoiioied plan of tho drawing of lots as to which of 'hu senators from the new stntm should bo designated for tho short, term and which for tho long. Prior U the adoption of tho motion Mr. Collum presented a certificate from the two Houses of North Dakota, designating- Mr. Pierce as tho long term senator. Tho Senate hold th it tho legislature, under tho constitution, had nulling to do with tho matter. Mr. Pieico proved as unlucky in tho casting of lots as ho was befoio tho Senate, for Mr. Casey, his colleaguo, was tho lucky man who received tho long term. Tho Houso. though only occupied by a seoro of people, looked like a mys terious school room last night. Mr. MoPhorson, tho newly elected clerk, was teMing tho fourteen gentlemen who appear a candidates for the two positions of reading clorks of tho House. Uauh man was given ten minute hearing. Tho reading was Washington's farewell address, being selected by Mr. MelMiertou as an es pecially dilllcult composition. It was given : evory style from tho business rattle -f a loll call to a sing song, and from e.it uon dolivory to tho mod nmbttit.ii manner. Tho salary of loading dork is tfll.OOO per annum and tho plii.ii thorcfoio worth trying for. The tii d of laMt evening was not con olusivo however, and several of tho buBt leudors will be given a oluuico bo foro lb. Houwj to-day.

Huodat Patterson's furni ture store in Paker City on the 21st. Mrs. Lizzie Pcard has not yet re turned to the classic lands of Pig creel: and serious doubts arc enter tained in regard to her future, how ever Norval may give a satisfactory expla nation. Mr. Fred Duncan is at present en gaged with Mr. C. V. Duncan in tho grist mill at Pakor City. Fred is a little darling and is sorely missed by tho young folks in this vicinity. Mrs. Ed. Turner has graced the neighborhood with a lino bouncing boy. Father doing well. Mr. and Mrs. Tlios. Parker, of Trout dale, were the recipients of a pleasant visit from Mr. Coble and Miss Gracie Wright. It is expected that a consolidation will occur in high life soon ; that two fond souls will be united, two hearts will beat as one. Mies Patt has not returned to the springs yet, but is expected soon after tho holidays. Mr. Albert Wright (like Jacob of obi) made an agreement to work for a wealthy rancher in an adjoining neighborhood for a similar considera tion, but on hearing of the return of an old flame of the ptetty damsel, con cluded to lake a hasty departure to his old home, a iwldor but a wiser lad. Mr. I'M. Parker, Jr., and Mr. Ceorge Prooks will visit Paker City and n miin through tho holidays. A fond welcome awaits Mr. Parker at tho Depot hotel at Haker loving parents and a pretty littlo fair-haired damsel. Tho moral whirlwind, which twisted up tho work of old "Satan in this vicin ity, has subsided and only the memory of tho magnitude of its greatness re mains. Wo are hoping soon to bo able, once a month, at least, to listen to the Word, and may its intlueneo be felt throughout tho realm. (J rout preparations aro being made for tho Christmas tree at Dolby's and a good time is expected. Mr. Dolby informs tho public that a good hall, lights and tiro will be furnishid for all public meetings, Sunday school, church, or anything tho people would like at his hall, at any time. This is a case of true hospitality, very rare, and will surely bo appicciated by tho peo ple of this vicinity. Undo (hooks Panics is still in tho laud of tho living and is waiting for some pretty "will" to come like a sweet fairy and bless his homo with her pres ence, ins uog, ftuyuer, is in oeuer training now than ho used to be. Miss Daisy Jameson baa gone to Un ion and will remain all winter. She will bo greatly missed by tho circle of fiiunds who aro loft. Cus Pogors is attending school on tho river and living with Mr. and Mrs. Doau for a short time. "Hon. and Mrs. Dunham Wright will spend Christinas at Union or Covo. Miss Oracio will decide where tho Christmas festivities will bo partaken of. Wo aro hoping to see tho surveying party in this vicinity soon and icjoice in tho future prospects of Union, our pot town and county seat, and hope to assist in illustrating by pen ami pict ure each ouo win was so selfish as to enjoy tho piospority of the town with out helping to raise tho subsidy which was so necessary to the advancement of the Hunt railroad. An invitation has been extended to a local artist for sketches of town and people, and also eoinio pictures of thoe who are u drawback to the advancement of the country, tho Hunt system of ruilm.nls and tho preont county sunt, by the Sporting Woild, (Puliuu Uawtte) t be published in tho oatly spring.
