Yours Truly,

The Advertiser has the largest
circulation in most of the upper coun¬

its columns is the best place to adver¬

CASH.
As the cash system is fast becoming a
fixed business rule, it becomes
ry for us to adopt a like system. There
are some persons who subscribe for a
newspaper, and from carelessness or an
impression created from a home-made
erroneous idea that newspaper men
can publish their papers and support
their Tamil!e without 1 eim paid for their
arduous labors. We hope we have
none of this class on our list. It is true
that a large majority of our patrons are
in arears, and we hope they will' not
delay to send the amounts due, other¬
wise, where subscriptions are not paid
within three months from date of sub¬
scription, >ve shall be compelled to
charge an additional 25 cents.
We are determined to enlarge and
improve the Advertiser in every re¬
spect. To enable us to do this our pat¬
rons must pay promptly. Printing ma¬
terial is liigh and the cash is required to
pay for it. We want to make this
provement as early as possible, and we
ask our patrons to aid us by paying
their dues,
There are names on our list who have
read the Advertiser for about two years
and have never paid a cent for it. To
such persons we wish to say that we do
„ot propose to run that schedule much

WASHINGTON LETTER.
[Prom our Regular Correspondent}
Washington, D, C., Dee. 15 1631.
Under tbe rules of the House of Rep¬
resentatives Monday is tbe day on yb oh
the States are ealled, during the morn
*ing hour, and Members from the Stares
reached in order before tbe time expires
bare an opportunity petitions to preseo* any
blils, resoionops, or tbey may
have prepared - Sometimes tbey come
in an thick and fast tbat the hour is
consumed before the States have been
ha.f called, aim on tbe following Mon
day the call l* resumed where it left off
before. To introduce matters of this
nature any other day requires unani¬
mous consent or a suspension of the
rules by a two-thirds vote, from this
pi.-.etice, Monday has come to be called
“bill day.” and ft is tbe day on which
must of tbs seusationa and "field exer¬
cises'' occur/ because, if a member has
anything of a red hot Dature to offer,
for whicb he has at all other times boon
unable to catch that treacherous thing,
the "Splatter's eye/' he can, if his
State is reached, shoot it off ou Monday
In spite of ali opposition. This much
byway or introduction to "a few fee.
bid remarks” about bills and thiogs.
Thousands of bills are introduced in
every Congress which ought not to be
and which accomplish nothing except
thousand bills were dumped into tbe
boppar of the lastCengrees,yet notone
out of a hundred of them were or ever
will be heard of again. Already the
sluice gates have opened In the present
Congress, and tho flood of measures
will continue to flow in every Monday
down to the very last weak of the sess¬
ion. Io tbe Senate alone, 350 bills
introduced in less than a week after
Congi ess assembled. Ooe Senator alone
offered thirty-three bills. In the whole
batch there are scarcely a score that
can be said to have any public interest.
Aod so it always is A large majority
of the bills ofierad in every Congress
either relate to some trifling, impractic¬
al matter, or to some small private
grievance which the court of Claims
was especially created to consider. The
vaaity aod redicuioutuess of all this
Wight be overlooked if it were a * for its
injurious effect first, in preventing tbe
consideration of necessary business,
and secom , in occasionally facilitating
Mm passage of highly objectionable
meaoarea. All the iaiportam measures
demanding action by Congress at tha
present time can be told efi on ibe fin
gerjs of ope band, aod, a* Senator Ed-
rounds recently said, adjournment might
be reached by the middle of May; bat
berween idle roersures sad idle Con¬
gressmen we shall find that it wilt be
nearer August.
None of the members attract more
attention iu Washington than the
preacher Congressman from Brooklyn,
Rev. J. Hyatt Smith. In personal ap¬
pearance be is not remark able, the
most striking feature being tbe short,
cork screw curls in which hie hair is
worn. Bat he appears to be a very
active man. Besides his Congressional
duties he has already been both lectur
ring and preaching here, with plenty
of bearers all of whom express them¬
selves pleased. Tbat is more than
some of bis constituents appear to be,
for several of the labor organizations
that contribeted to hie election as an
Independent have been telegraphing
their indignation at hie coarse iu ent» r
ing the Republican camp. The good
natured peliilcal define however, ex¬
presses the optDien tbat he knew on
which side bis bread was buttered
wbeD be located himeelf near the leaves
and fishes. Tbat he did not mean to
"get left” is evidenced in the fact that
Mr. Randall held his pledge towote with
Democrats if his vote woold elect, and
the Greenbacks™ say tbey bad bis
agreement in writing to act with
them; while, as a matter of fact, he
went into the Republican caucus, question is
Tbe never-ending Indian
coming ap in Congress shortly- There
are fresh reports of scaodaloas misman¬
agement in Arizona and New Mexico
resulting ip wbosesale murders of set¬
ters pud miners. Though tbe President
in his Message speaks encouragingly of
the results of our present iBdian policy
there are many people knowing from
experience something about tbe subject,
who expect to see peace on the frontier
only -hen we bare done with thieving
traders and agents, and when Indians
are made to take care of themselves
like other citizens, Tbe feeling ef tbe
people in the Western Tern ter iee, who
see iBdian assassaine cherished at tbe
agencies, when they come in red-banded
to get supplies for a new raid on help lees
farmers and their wives and cbildres,
be appreciated when the facte are un¬
derstood. It is a miserable white man
in Arizona who says. - —
I want to he an Iojun,
A warrior of tbe plain;
I want to wield a tomahawk
And scoop oat people's brains.
I long to build a fire
On human being’s breast.
And watch him wriethe in agony
With gentle »*age zest.

Commissions large.
The Atlanta. Post-Appeal says that
“the South Carolina House of Repre¬
sentatives has just passed, by a very
large majority, a bill doing away with
all the fences in the State except in
three counties, which are obliged at
their own expense to fence themselves
in frorri tbeir neighbors, and making it
a misdemeanor for stock to run at large.
The bill will probably become a law.
Let Georgia look on a while and see
the operation of the experiment in her
neighbor’s limits, ”

Tomatoes Under Gloss.
An English Journal speaks of a gard
ener wbo baa iu a span roof honse, 216
feet long, and warmed odIj by solar
heat, 400 tomato plants, 200 on eaeh
side, planted in a bed of soil, resting
on narrow slat* shelves, the depth of
tbe soil scarcely exceeding six inces.
Copious waterings are given, and fresh
soil co as any roots running to the
surface. Layers of tarf were first placed
on tbe shelves, then iu a good compost of
loam and manure, which the plants
were set. Trained upwards tbey aver¬
aged 312 feet high at the date of the
report, and bad begun to ripen fruit,
bearing abundantly, and a succession
was expected till Christmas. Such a
