Washington Letter.
(From our Regular Correspondent.)
WARRINGTON, Deo, 5, 's0.
The caution and self-control of the
Democratic senators at the opening of
-the fight over the federal election bill 1s a
surprise to their opponents. They design
it to be a long fight, and they may be ex.
peoted to husband their strength and curb
any dispoeition to be impetuous. The
leaders on both sides of this fight are
determined and apparently both expect to
win. The Demoorate are made sanguine
by election success, which also gives them
new courage: The Republican leaders
will fight with the desperate energy of
those who bave nothing further to lose
and who take the chances of regaining
ground by daring. At present the situa-
tion appears thus: The Republican
leaders are determined, enthusiastic in
their policy; a majority of their partisans
are quite in accord with them anddare
go as far as they dare; a large majority
are indifferent about the matter but
yielding and a few are positively opposed
to the bill. The fear of being aconeed of
showing the white feather in thepreeenoe
of reverses; the desire to appear cour-
ageous, will deter some from opposing the
bill, though they believe it to be vicious
and its adoption unwise. As a rule their
allegiance to their party is stronger than
to their constituents, and they dread the
the anger of their leaders more than of
the people to whom they are responsible.
All this has to be taken into consideration
in counting on Republican disaffection
for the defeat of the bill.
At present the Democrats have no
Republioan allies, and they enter the
contest counting more on their own efforts
than upon any combination they may
possibly make. They will endeavor to be
so fair and so regardful of the rules and
the decorum of the senate e.s to make it
difficult for the Republicans to accuse
them of filibustering, or to, themselves,
attempt any departure from custom. But
when the majority bring in their proposi-
tion to cot off debate and force the bill
through by a departure fromthe well
established practices of the senate, the
minority will light to uphold the tradi-
tions of the senate and will oppose the
application of the previous question, no
matter bow extreme the parliamen-
tary tactics are that have to be employed.
Republican leaders profess to have no
doubt as to the result, but they neverthe-
less realise that one of the hardest strug-
gles in ell congressional history is going
to be condensed within the narrow limits
of this month.
The administration keeps a stiff tipper
lip au the Reining sea ooutroversy. The
message expresses the hope of effecting
some arrangement which will assure to
us "a property right, derived from
Russia, which was not disregarded by
any Nation fur more than eighty years
preceding the ouebreak of the existing
troubles," and states that proposed arbi-
tration on another basis hes been declia'
ed. Great Britain and the United States
are both anxious to come to an agree-
ment, and both anxious to save the seals
from extermination, but we claim s
property rigbt which England denies, and
while the diplornio manmovring over this
issue is going on the seals are destroyed.
It ought to be possible to agree at once
upon measures for preventing the destruc-
tion of the seals, avoidiug the surrender
on either side of its contention concerning
abstract rights, and leaving that issue to
be fought out later with diplomatic
leisure.
It is not likely that the Democrats will
agree to en apportionment which will
keep the hones at its present membership
of 302. Under this plan the Democrats
would lose eight members, while they
would gain three. On the other band
the Republicans would lose only two, and
gain six. The proportion of loss and gain
is so largely in favor of the Republicans
that the Demoorate will naturally oontend
for some other method of apportionment.
A proposition for a compromise on the
silver question, which is represented as
emanating from the Execntivo Manston,
has been laid before the silver men in
both houses. This proposition is that the
congress pass a bill at this time instruct-
ing the secretary of the treasury to pur-
uhase the thirteen or fifteen million
dollars' worth of silver with which the
market is said to be stocked at present.
This proposition meets with the approval
of the conservative men in both houses,
but the advocate. of free coinage feel so
confident of their ability to put a free
coinage bill through congress at this
session that they do not seem inclined to
to accept it.
The Repnblicaos in the 1±ottso lost a
day. Tuesday by dilatory motions. and
every day is a year now.
The senate has Balled up the force bill,
despite the fact that the people are call.
ing it down.
There are no new fee -three in the con-

To TEE Punta Gum/exec.-We, the
undersigned, hereby desire to express our
sincere regret, that certain statements,
alleged to bave been make by us, touch.
ing the loos some time ago by us, of a
quantity of wheat and bags, should have
gone forth to the public as charging our
neighbors James Houston, James Doug-
las and James Cush; with having had to
do with the taking of said wheat and bags.
It was never intended by us to so charge
them with having taken said wheat or
bags, nor in fact did we over entertain
any such idea, and if we, or either of us,
at any time made use of words which in
any way refloated upon the characters of
the above named parties, re.peoting the
loss by us of said wheat etc., we sincerely
desire to withdraw, and ooutradiot same,
and to apologize to the said parties for
having used them.

Onrr -The people of this community
wore very mach surprised last Friday to
hear that Mrs. Trueman Smith had died
quite suddenly on Thursday night about
ten o'clock. During the summer of 1889
she began ailing and although under
medical treatment more or less she oon•
tinned to fail until death relieved her of
all pain and suffering. Dyspepsia and
nervous prostration was the cause of her
demise, Bios. Smith was born in Limer.
ick Co., Ireland, in the year 1840 and
came to Canada with her sister (now
Mrs. Marsden Smith) in 1862, settling at
Seafm th for a time with another sister
(Mrs. Philip Sperling,) In 1864 the de-
ceased was united in marriage to her
now bereft partner, who was in the saw
mill business in leruesels and vicinity
and from that went to farming in 1874,
and though the 26 years of married
life proved herself to be a faithful, kind•
hearted, trustful wife and mother. Bet-
ter than all she was a devoted Chriebian
ever willing to testify for her Master and
her life was a speaking picture to all who
knew her. The subject of this notice
was of a warm, generous diepositiao and
of a very genial, happy temperament and
