TO THOSE WHO FAIL.
Courage, brave heart; nor In thy purpose
falter;
Go on and win the fight at any cost.
Though alck and weary after heary con
flict, Rejoice to know the battle Is not lost.
The field is open still to those brave spirits
Who noblystruggletill the strife is done.
Through sun and storm,' with courage all
undaunted,
Working and waiting till the battle's
won.
The fairest pearls are found in deepest
waters,
The brightest jewels in the darkest mine;
And through the very blackest hour of
midnight,
The star of hope doth ever brightly
shine.
Press on! press onl the path is steep and
rugged,
And storm clouds almost hide hope's
llaht from view;
But you can pass where other feet have
trodden;
A few more steps may bring you safely
through.
The battle o'er, a vUtor crowned with
honors;
By patient toil each difficulty past,
You then may see these days of bitter
failure
But spurred you on to greater deeds at
last Chamber Journal.
WASHINGTON LETTER.
From Our Regular Correspondent.
Washington, Dec. 2nd, 1895.
The moat noticeable thing about
the opening of Congress to a Dem
ocrat, was the absence of so many
of the men who have for years
fought in the front rank of the
Democratic party.' Among the
absentees in the Senate are Butler,
of South Carolina, who has bten
succeeded by ex-Governor Tillman;
Hunton of Virginia, whose succes
sor is Martin, a good Democrat;
Mcrnerson or iNew Jersey, suc
ceeded Joy a Republican, and Ran
som of North Carolina, whose suc
cessor is a Populist. But it is in
the House where the hole in the
Democratic ranks is the biggest.
It seems strange to hear a roll called
without the names of such veterans
in Congressional harness as Hol-
xnan and Byhum of Indiana,
Springer, of Illinois; Kilgore of
Texas; Hatch and Heard of Mis
souri; Outhwaite of Ohio, and a
score of others who have won
honors and scars battling for Demo
cratic principles.
Ex-Speaker Crisp will, of course,
be the leader of the Democrats of
the House during the present ses
sion, the man who will call down
Czar Reed every time he attempts
to trample upon the rights of the
minority. There has been no
-thought among Democrats that this
Tould be otherwise, as was shown by
the votes of the Democratic caucus
all cast for Mr. Crisp. The stories
about the administration desiring
-another man for leader had their
origin with those who wished to
;add to the unfortunate differences
-already existing in the Democratic
party by making it appear that
President Cleveland was demanding
that no silver man should be given
post of honor. It is needless to
aay to any intelligent Democrat
that President Cleveland never
-thought of such a thing as dictat
ing to or interfering in afly way
witn the Democrats in the House.
Representative Otey, of Virginia,
has a scheme that wUl injure no
one and may greatly benefit needy
ex-Confederate soldiers if it can be
carried through. In the Treasury
there is an accumulation of money,
sequestered during and directly af
ter the war, for want of evidence
to show its proper owners, amount
ing to aboat $25,000,000. Inas
much as this nosey belongs in the
Soth, and that its rightful owners
will probably never be fouad, Mr.
Otey propceee to try to get a bill
through Congress, providing that
the interest on this money shall be
distributed among needy ex-Confederate
soldiers, and that when
they no longer need such aid, the
principal shall revert to the govern
ment, to be used as any other
money provided, by Qongress. In
order to avoid any charge of par
tisanship, even by implication, Mr.
Otey proposes having the bill intro
duced by a Republican, if he can
get one to do it.
The calm which now prevails
among tne Kepublicaas or the
House, is as ominous in its way as
that which precedes a storm at sea.
To the inexperienced onlooker,
Speaker Reed is a czar, indeed. But
there is a reason why everything:
seems to be going Mr. Reed's way
among his party colleagues in the
House. He hasn't announced the
committee assignments. Until he
does, the calm is likely to last; all
of the Republicans want to get as
good committee places as they can.
But after the assignments are an
nounced, the disappointed ones will
be numerous; and Mr. Reed cannot
let them down easy by saying that
he was bound by promises made
before his election to disappoint
them, as his friends have for weeks
been making a special point of
claiming that he would become
speaker, without having made a
single promise, and that he was
free to arrange the committees
just as he wanted them. Therefore,
every disappointed man will know
just who to hold responsible. It is
charged also that Mr. Reed took a
hand in naming the minor officers
of the House, who were elected to
day, which made him some more
enemies in his own party. On the
whole the outlook for him can
hardly be considered a pleasant
one.
President Cleveland's message
was ready to go in today, but, as
uua uiieu oeen aone ac tne assem
bling ot a new Uoagress, it
held back to give the House
chance to organize and will go
tomorrow.
Secretary Hoke Smith has gone
to Atlanta, where he will, by special
invitation, deliver a financial ad
dress before the Georgia legislature.
He is expected to return to Wash
ington this week.
