"WASHINGTON LETTER.
(From our Reguler Correspondents}
Wasuinaton, D, ©, Dec. 13 -79.
The man who would haye pre-
dicted the present condition of
the Washington end of the Re-
publican party a little more chan
a year ago, when it had juat
elected a President and a major-
uty of the House, would not haye
been given credit for sound
yodgment, even by the bitterest
enemy of that party. In fact, it
is now difficult for one not in
Washington, to helieve the ex-
tent of the disruption of the
party. Nothing can better illus~
trate this than the attitude of the
Republicans in congress towards
the recommendations made by
Mr. McKinley's message. Not a
single one of them has the sup-
portof anywhere near the solid
Republican vote in either branch
of Congress) Mr. McKinley
asked indirectly, Secretary Gage
drrectiy, for the retirement of the
greenbacke, but 1f the Democrats
and populists retrain from voting,
it is doubtful whether a bill pro~
viding therefor could pass either
branch of Congress: Mr. McKin-
leyTs Cuban prlicy is constantly
and openly assailed by Repub-
licans; he asked for the immedi-
ate ratification of the treaty for
the annexaticn of Hawaii, but
not a move bas been made in that
direction in the Senate, and
abandcnment of tho treaty is
looked for; he defended the civil
gorvice law, and one haif of the],
Repuilican members of the
House are openly engaged in an
effort {o break down that law. In
fact, everything is tending to-
wards & restoration of the Demo-
cratic party to power, and the
once boasted solidity of the Re-
publican party, which was for
years its most noted trait, has
gone, appareutly forever.
The House Banking and Ours
rency Committee is laboring hard
to produce a financial bill, but it
is anctber case of oMuch ado
about nothing,� as there are
abcut as many different opinions
in the Committee as there are
members, and each opinion is
represented by a bill framed by
its owner. It has been said that
Czar Reed, in selecting this com-
~mittee, chose men whum he knew
would never agree on a bill, and
it looks that way.
Representative Sullivan, of
Mississippi, in his speech against
the payment of pensions to
wealthy men quoted extensively
from Gen. H. Y. BoyntonTs recent
atraingement of the injustice of
the Pension laws as now admin-
istered, because he endorsed what
that gentleman had said and
knew that nobody could raise
any question of Gen. BoyntonTs
right to criticize. Although the
Pension bill passed by the House,
carries an appropriation of more
than $141,000,000, something like
$2 for each map, woman and
child in the United States"it
cents to pay interest on the pub-
lic debt, although probably not
made for such a purpose, ought,
in view of the probable pension de.
ficit of $10,000,000 in the next fis-
cal year,and the announced desire
of the administration to increase
our bonded indebetedness, to
cause many persons to pat on
their thinking caps.
It is practically certain that at
the caucus of the Democrats of
the House, to be heid this week,
it will be decided to make Cuba a
party question, ard to use every
opportunity to attempt to get the
Senate resolution, declaring for
the recognition of Cuban belli-
gerency adopted by the House.
~also thas the caucus will declare
the party opposed to each and
every financial recommendation
made by the administration. It
is not likely that the caucus will
say anvthing about the silver
question. The position of the
party is too well known to need
any new declaration in favor of
silver. The caucus will proba-
bly declare against the annexa-
tion of Hawaii, either by treaty cr
legislation, and 16 may also de-
clare against the enactment of the
bankruptcy law, but there 1s
doubt about the latter action, as
there are some siiong adyocates |!
of the bankrupt law among the
Demcecrats, and others who
doubt the wisdom of trying to
make it a party question.
The report that Czar Reed ia in
sympathy with the fight o. civil
service reform, because he recog-
nizes in it a means of lessening
Mr. McKinleyTs chances for a
renomination, was partially con-
firmed by the attendance at a
paucus of Republican Represen-
tatives called to consider Ways
and Means of fighting the present
civil service law, and bring about |
its modification or complete re-
peal. In view of the absolute
control Mr. Reed has over the
Republican members ~of " the
House in about everything else,
it does not seem hkely that as
many as seyenty two of them
could have been persuaded to take
part in this movement unless they
knew that Mr Reed had no objec
tion toit. The average Demo-
crat has never favored the ciyil
service law, with its one part real
reform to nine parts of the most
js
arrant bumbuggery, so it will
not be surprising to see them
vote with the kicking Republicans
if their kicking goes as far as a
vote.

Eccentricities of ja Cat.
A slender black cat in the
Boston postofiice building has
developed a number of traits that
make her a most interesting study.
She is fearless and independent,
and yet cjuiet and tame as a lady's
pet. The cize or anpearance of a
dog has no terror for her, if she
is disposed'to attack him, and she
walks among the people in the
building and outside as uncon-
cerned as ifshe knew them all.
More remarkable still is her
way of getting round from one
place to another. She has a
number of places in the building
to visit, particularly on the thira
floor, where there is a young lady
who she likes to call upon at
frequent intervals, andinstead of
running up and down the stairs,
as other cats naturally would do:
she takes an eleyator, With an
air of imposing dignity, she
takes up a position among the
rest of the passengers waiting
forthe elevator, and when she
gets'on board the elevator she
looks earnestly through the door
as the car ascends. Lacking
means to signify where she in-
tends to get off, she remains in
the car until it stops at her
desired aestination, and even
force, unless it 18 irresista~
ble, cannot make her leave the
elevator till it reaches the floor
where she wauts to go. The
elovator men know her habits so
well that if she happens to be the
only passenger going up they
venerally offer her the third floor
first! As she returns from a
yisit, she again avails herself of
the elevator service, whether she
wishes to go up or down, for it 18
a matter of course with her to
complete her round in the upper
part of the building while she 18
