Qcit senatorial courtesy and draw
the line. If a man will not vote for a
democratic measure, be is not a demo
crat. Let him resign.
Tub president has to change collars
three times a day. We could better
account for his heated condition if
more republicans were fired out.
The Ggores giving 5800,000 as the
annual income of Senator Brice must
be revised. They were made before
the senator took his fly in sugar stocks.
Why is it called the sub-committee
on finance ? Most of the senators com
posing it can teach "finance" to any of
the other senators on or off the main
committee.
Why don't Congressman Morse and
Joseph Cook make an effort to have
God more generally recognized in Mas
sachusetts before they insist on his
recognition in the constitution ?

CAPITAL COKRKSPONDKNCK.
Washington, D. C, March 14, 1S94.
Washington has its characters which
have become national in their fame,
even though they were not in congress.
Among these notables none are more
justly celebrated than liev. Dr. Mil
burn, the blind preacher, who is chap
lain of the senate, and for many ses
sions before this, chaplain of the house
of representatives. In person Dr.
Milburn is a tall man of large frame, a
long, oval face, strong features, a full,
long beard and flowing locks of gray.
He is a man of fine presence and im
pressive mien. He enters the senate
precisely at the hour of 12 ni., led by
one of the pages, ascends the steps to
the vice-president's dias and opens the
session with a prayer as impressive and
earnest as one ever listened to from a
backwoods Methodist evangelist. His
strong bass voice is clear and resonant,
and is easily heard throughout the sen
ate chamber and its surrounding gal
leries. Fifty-odd years ago Dr. Mil
burn began preaching in Baltimore,
and although for long years he has
been blind, be never gave up his life
work. His attainments are remarkable,
and none of them are more notable
than his wonderful memory. On Sun
day last he filled the pulpit at the
Metropolitan M. E. church, and I
listened to his marvelous discourse with
wrapt attention. The chaplain not
only gave out the hymns, but recited
the lines just as though he were read
ing them from the hymn book. He
also led in a responsive reading, recit
ing alternate verses of the ninety-first
psalm, and for first and second lessons
recited, without hesitation, portions of
the seventh chapter of Matthew and
the second chapter of first John. The
sermon which followed was as re
markable as any pulpit effort I have
listened to in many years. It was not
only fervent and eloquent, but was
methodical and logical. Although up
wards of seventy years of age, there is
every prospect of his having years of
usefulness still before him.
In my last letter 1 predicted that the
seigniorage coinage bill would come to
a vote in the senate the next day, but
it was not to be so. The senate prides
itself on being a deliberative body, and
Pont de Loie is still very popular, but we have
a full line of Failles, Gros Grains, Aimures, Su
rahs. Chinas. Plain and Brocades. Satins are gain
ing great popularity this season, and are very styl
ish. We have a Striped Wash Silk, fast colors, at
60c per yard.
Sheetings. Muslins, (Juilts, Pillow Case Mus
lins, Outing Flannels, English Flannelettes, and
we have these goods at the very lowest price on
the market, and before buying your new Sheet
ings, Muslins, etc., don't fail to look over our
stock.
New Swiss Muslins in bordered goods, stripes
and dots. A large assortment of real Lace Cur
tains, also Madras Muslins, Nottingham Lace,
Icy Scrims, plain and printed Florentines, etc.
Lace Department.
This is always one of the leading depart
ments iu our store, but this year we have out
done ourselves. You never yet beheld such good
values at real hard-time prices. We call your at
tention brielly to a few of the various styles:
Vals, Point de Gene, Point de Ireland, Duchesse,
Torchon, Maltess, Brussels, Spanish Chantilly,etc.

although the friends of the measure
had the whip-hand, they preferred to
permit the opposition to have their say
before they forced a vote, so they agreed
to let discussion run without stint un
til two o'clock today, when a vote was
to be taken on Senator Allison's mo
tion to reconsider the vote'on the third
reading of the bill, and after that was
taken to discuss it under the five
minute rule until two o'clock tomorrow,
when a vote will be taken and the bill
passed. Several test votes have been
taken in the meantime, however, and
there is no doubt of the final outcome.
The vote by which the Allison motion
was defeated stood forty-six to twejity
three exactly two to one. It was
notable that Senators Vilas, Palmer
and lirice democrats voted with the
republicans for the resolution.
I notice that the Washington cor
respondents of both the Bee and Lin
coln Journal delight in putting Senator
Allen's position down as doubtful on
the Wilson bill. I am prepared to say
that there isn't a protectionist hair in
Senator Allen's head, and that the only
contingency that could find him among
the bill's opponents is that before it
comes to a vote in the senate the bill
may be despoiled of its tariff reform
features by the trafficking democrats
of the llrice, Murphy, Smith variety,
whose chief stock in trade is baiter,
and who are utterly wanting in the
democratic principle and I'm not sure
but I might classify Senator Hill with
this outfit. Of that we shall seef urther
along.
The house has bad under discussion
for more than a week the several ap
propriation bills, and has passed the
pension and the district of Columbia
bills, while the sundry civil is now on
the boards. All of these bills show
considerable of a reduction in amounts
from those of last year, and in the ag
gregate will make a saving of some
$20,000,000. In the discussions and
votes there is one remarkable fact run
ning through them the republicans
uniformly stand for larger expenditures
than the democrats, and this fact seems
to be generic and all-pervading. It is
not a new thing, but for many years
has distinguished the two parties in
both the bouse and the senate. In the
years when the republicans were in
power it was charged that the disposi-

Bon,
i tion to cut down appropriations was
simply evidence that the democrats
wanted to embarrass or cripple the ad
ministration by creating deficiencies;
but this position does not answer for
tbe present attitude of the two parties
it only shows conclusively that the
democrats were consistent then, and
are today standing for economic gov
ernment in every possible direction,
and also that the republicans, by force
of habit, it is presumed, art; for ex
travagance, just as they were whtu
they were in power and had the control
of tbe nation's purse-stiiugs.
A Visit to Mount Vernon.
It has been said, "that a trip to tbe
national capital is but half made, un
less a trip to Mount Vernon is in
cluded." The writer is willing to vouch for
the truth of this statement.
When we western people return to
our homes at the east, we do not do so
for the purpose of seeing the new oc
cupants, but the old home as it was in
the days of our childhood. Thus it is
with a visit to the nation's capital.
Here can be seen the bustle of officers
and employes going about the nation's
business. But one would scarcely think
that this is the same old government
that was founded by George Washing
ton and his compeers. It has about the
same appearance comparatively as the
old home-stead of our childhood with
new occupants.
But let us go to Mount Vernon, the
old home of the father of our country;
see it as it was when he lived there.
To reach this venerable spot in the
most pleasing manner, and especially
for those who enjoy boating, is to go
aboard a steamer at the foot of 7th
street, Washington, D. C, which daily
leaves the wharf at 10 o'clock a. m.
We gently Moat down the placid waters
cf the Potomac, passing the ancient,
historical city of Alexandria on the
right.old Fort Washington on the left,
and after about one hour and fifteen
minutes ride, we are landed at the
foot of Mount Vernon. It might be
well to observe why this is called Mount
Vernon. It is fair to presume that the
name Vernon was given in honor of
Admiral Vernon, who was in com
mand of the attack od Carthagena in
1741, with whom Lawrence Washing
ton, brother of General Washington,
served; and the prefix "Mount" could
not wisely have been supplemented by
any other word, unless it would-have
been "Mound."
After leaving the wharf, we are led
M
up to the buildings by a plain board
walk laid upon a gravel, first passing
the new tomb, where can be seen
through the iron grating the white
marble caskets containing the remains
of the General and Martha Washing ton;
and in the back part of the tomb,
but not in view of the public, are the
remains of about forty members of tbe
Washington family. On the outside,
and in front of the tomb are erected
two white marble monuments to the
memory of the general; one by the
widow and the other by the govern
ment. Passing up the walk we come
to the old biiildings on the left, first the
smoke-house, then the laundry, and
: thiid in line, the carpenter shop where
it is supposed George kept his little
! hatchet. Then on the right at the
side of the family kitchen, is the old
covered well with buckets and chain
(a real Nebraska well) from which I
took a cooling draught. Passing
through the kitchen where a very ro
bust looking maiden, who was neither
a blonde, brunette, nor colored by Ne
braska winds, was keeping everything
in repair as her ancestors undoubtedly
did many years ago. This kit'.'hen is
connected with the main building by a
covered walk, the roof being supported
by columns. An office about the same
size as the kitchen, at the other end of
main building is connected in like
manner. Farther on in the rear of the
dwelling is the garden, beautifully
laid off in beds, hedged with rows of
box-wood. Back of the garden is the
slave quarters, where at one time 260
slaves were entertained by the General
and Mrs. Washington. The main
building is long and narrow; the center
was built by a brother of General
Washington and afterwards the exten
sions were built by the general him
self. It is built of wood made to imi
tate stone, is of two stories and an
attic all divided off into comfortable
rooms,and no room wasted. The visitor
views in lum the old library, the east
and west parlors, the dining-room, the
room in which the general died, and
Mrs. Washington's room, and the room
in which she died, and these and others
have evidently been keep as nearly in
their original manner as possible. On
the stone floor portico running the full
length of the house in front, facing the
Potomac river, is a row of eld oak
chairs, in one or more of which every
visitor takes occasion to sit, with the
hope that he may possibly sit where
once the father of his country sat. Be
tween the front lawn and the river is
the deer park, enclosed by a high iron
picket fence. Here may be seen a dozen
