This .will doubtless prove a subject o lively interest to the present Congress and provoke mach ^discussion. Tb? sentiment against the iniquity of a pre teetiveiJMjiA^tcadily growing, ant the Iair^v^^r^BPf!8 tbe^Bsumer tc pay a premium of 40 per cent, to th< manufacturer for bis sole and individua benefit is destined to be repealed. Il our infant industries' after flourishing so many years, are still infants, and can only live by a continued and un? limited supply of free pap, then they bad better die. At any Tate, the feat of destroying the manufacturing inter? ests of this country by taking off the tariff, and which bas beep used as a raw head and Moody bones by high tariff men to frighten off thc reformers, is fast disappearing. Our industries are not near so infantile as they are made to appear. They are strong and sturdy, and stand io need of assistance mach less than the millions of consum? ers who are helping to support them. A protective tariff is an iniquity end should be abolished ; a tariff for revenue alone should be substituted. We do not desire free trade. :' We think it en? tirely impracticable and h?ve no idea that this generation at least will witness itt accomplishment*. One year's expe? rience by the taxpayers io supporting the general government by direct taxa? tion would satisfy them of its undesirable qualities ; bat we do want tariff reform. We do most earnestly desire to see the revenue readjusted so that the burden of taxation will fall on the luxuries of life, while its necessaries will be reliev? ed of all unnecessary claims. DOINGS AT WASHINGTON. The Republican Senatorial caucus met Thursday and unanimously en? dorsed Senator L gan for the Presiden? cy of the Senate, and be declined the honor. For this we are profoundly thankful, even though it did result in giving us Sherman, for the bloody shirt hero was elected the day following,-and will be the next president of the Senate. The Caucas re-endorsed the bill offered by Senator Hoar last year providing for tbe Presidential succession in case of tbe disability of both the President aod Vice President. This bill coo fers the succession to tbe Presidency in case of vacancy io the offices of President and Viee President apon the secretary of State, or if that office is vacant theo opon tbe secretary of the treasury, thc succession passing to the other mem? bers of the Cabinet io taro in cases of vacancy. The House is responsible for ita failure to pass last year, and should see to it that no obstacles are placed in tbe way of tts prompt adoption at this session. The Democratic canons in the Senate gave Senator Harris the empty compli? ment of the nomination for the Presi? dency. ; The Republican House caucas nomi? nated Thomas B. Reed of Maine for Speaker and adopted a resolution 'That it is the sense of this caucus that immediate actioo be taken by the Forty-niotn Congress to provide for the Presidential succession.' ; Carlisle was nominated for Speaker by the Democrats He bad no opposi? tion whatever, and goes to the chair un? trammelled by any promises or bargains. Congress met yesterday morning, and tbe officers nominated io the House by tbe Democrats aod to the Seo ate by the Republicans were elected.

[From our Regular Correspondent."! WASHINGTON LETTER. WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 4, 1885. When ? this letter reaches you tl Forty-Ninth Congress will be in sessioi Probably the much discussed questic of a successor to Vice-president Hei dricks will also have been settled though this is not certain. ?ndicatiot are that at the caucus of Rep?blica Senators to be held to-night there wi be a sharp fight between the friends < Senators Edmonds, Logan and Shel man. The possibility of either of the latte Senators being elected tn preside ove the Senate is extremely distasteful t Democratic Congressmen. Logan an Sherman are the representatives of tb bloody shirt wing of their party. The are both bitter sectiooalists and pros pective partisans. It is thought th Republican Senators ought at least t choose a more conservative member c their body for presiding officer. Sine a Republican has to be takeo, Demo -eratic Seoators would .prefer Senato Edmunds. There is considerable op position to bim, however, among tb os who will d?cide the question. A Re publican Senator said, I would bol Edmunds for two reasons ; first, his at titode in the last campaign ; and sec ondly, because of his uncalled for de cisi?n during the last Presidentia count.' Senator Edmunds held tba the President of the Senate could exer eise no judicial function daring th< count. 'Whether right or wrong,' con tinned the disaffected Senator, 'it wai merely an expression of opinion, whicr. any Senator might have made, but be ing made at that particular time and in that particular way, it will always be quoted as a precedent.' The revisioo of the rules will be the first subject brought to the attention ol the House, and then some bill provid? ing for the succession of the Cabinet officers to the Presidency will have early attention. Bot the great features of the winter's session will be the silver question, the tariff, and civil service reform. There is a marked contrast between the situation now and that of the week preceding the opeoing of tho Forty Eighth Congress. At that time Repre? sentatives Carlile, Randall, Springet and Cox were actively engaged in a con? test for the Speakership. Rival candi? dates for the positions of Clerk, Ser geant-at-Arms, Door-keeper, House Postmaster, etc., were busy with their canvasses. Each arriving Congressman was buttonholed- Now Mr. Carlisle is conceded as re-elected without question or opposition. Mr. Cox is on duty in far away Turkey. Mr. Springer is eo tbusiastic over his plan for revising the {louse rules, and the distinguished bead of the Appropria tien s Committee, is devoting his time to financial literature at his quiet home on Capitol bill. The last important appointment made by the President gives great pleasure to the Democrats of the District of Co? lumbia. It WHS the Marsbalship of the District, and Colonel Albert Wilson, a well knowo Democratic citizeo of Washington, is the mao He was born within a few squares of the White House forty five years ago. and bas always liv? ed in this city. Last evening he stood io his cozy pirlor, and received a stream of friends who called to congratulate him. His office is considered the most val? uable Federal office iu the District Its compensation is restricted by Congress to $6,00J, any excess over that amount from the fees of the office being turned into the Treasury. The patrooage of the office consists of a deputy at $3,000, a chief bailiff at ?1,400. auother at $1,300, and seve? ral at $1,100 each. The office bsd come in recent years to be so- closely associated with the President personally, and with the social ceremonies at thc White House that it was expected to be filled by a friend of the Presient. The selectioo of a Martdial who is identified with the locality could not but be acceptable to the Democracy of the District. There is a gradual removal of the Re? publican clerks in the Departments here. Men 'and women have drawn salaries month after mooth in Washington under past Administrations without working j for them. Old Department records will j show this. If tho people knew how maoy worthless clerks they have sup? ported here, without receiving any work in return for their money, they would be astonished. The cleansing ont is slow, but sure Almost every day some of them go from each Depart? ment. C. A. S. -mmmm>-'*-* mmmm A smooth complexion can be had bj every lady" who will use Parker's Tonic.
