It is the best remedy ,£nown tor this trouble. Write The Brad- fieid Regulator Co., Atlanta, Ga., for infor mation. Washington, Dec. 6, 1886. Editor Union-Recorder: Congress opened to-day at noon in the usual way. There was a good representation of both Senators and Members and crowds of people flock ed to the Capitol to see the beginning of the new session. When the Forty- Ninth Congress met last December it found the Capitol draped in mourn ing for the death of Vice President Hendricks. This year it reassembles to find the building swathecL-in black for Ex-President Arthur. After the gavels fell to-day in the Senate and JHonse, roll calls fol lowed, and new Senators and Repre sentatives were sworn in. Work is now in order, but the week’s pro gramme cannot now be outlined, for convenience must decide to what bus iness each branch of Congress will first give attention. Among the most interesting annual reports evoked by the assembling of Congress was that of Secretary Whit ney because it deals largely with the reconstruction of the Navy. Speak ing of the extravagance of previous Administrations, the Secretary shows that there are now twenty million dollars worth of stores and supplies on hand, supposed to be new, but much of them ruined by decay and rust, or entirely obsolete. There are 25,000 augers which have been lying for years in disused yards and hun dreds of thousands of other imple ments similarly going to destruction. An officer reports passing through a yard where the men were short of cut nails, and turning aside he found a ware room filled from floor to ceiling with barrels on barrels of the needed nails. It is estimated that these nails will still last the Navy Department fifty years. The absurdity of the effort among Republican papers to create the be lief that there is some scandal involv ing the President in the purchase of real estate here for speculative pur poses is really amusing. Neither partisan malice nor personal animosi ty can fix upon him any taint of com plicity in real estate ring transactions or scandalous police spying in Wash ington. Even those who criticize the Presi dent’s public and political policy ac knowledge that personally and pecu niarily, he is one of the most honest men who ever occupied the White House. He might be imposed upon in some way by avaricious men, but President Cleveland himself is totally free from greed. This sudden spasm of outraged virtue in the Republican party, which stood by President Grant when he locked up Boss Shep- erd, Landaulet Williams and the members of the wiskey ring, because certain real estate dealers sought to profit by Mr. Cleveland’s purchase of a home, is highly interesting. The name of the President's little country place is still undergoing changes. Originally it was “Pretty Prospect,” then it was vulgarly call ed “Red Top,” after which the own er named it “Oak View.” Now those who have made the most earnest ef fort to connect the President with the syndicate aim to stigmatize it with the title of “Poison Oak View.” It is becoming quite common to dis tribute pictures of the fine Washing ton residences of wealthy Congress men as an influence upon the horny handed voter, and public men have found that owning large houses here is very detrimental to their populari ty at home. More than one has been defeated by the circulation of a pho tograph of his Washington residence among his constituents. It was only a few days since that an Illinois Con gressman, seeing a eamera leveled at his mansion, rushed out and tried to drive the photographer away. When ex-Senator Robeson ran for Congress the last time in New Jersey, his constituents were shown pictures of the south front of the new State, War and Navy Department, and were told that that magnificent granite structure was Mr. Robeson’s new house in Washington. This was en tirely too aristocratic for the rural voters of his district, and Mr. Robe son was defeated. Ex-Senator Win- doin of Minnesota was said to have lost his seat in the Senate through the scattering of pictures of his hand some home on Scott circle and it is said one reason Mr. Blaine rented his elegant house here and lived in a more simple faslison was from the fear of the political use that might be made of his liying at the Capital in princely style. The character of these city homes is sometimes exaggerated, however, as was that of Senator Vest. Recent ly he purchased a modest little house onP. Street, and picking up a wes tern paper a few Jdays after he was astonished to see the statement that he had bought an elegant residence in the fashionable locality of Mr. Baine’s lpalatial mansion.
