WASHINGTON LETTER.
Our Regular
Washington, Nov. 27th 1896.
There is at least one Republican
Senator who thinks that
administration will have to borrow
very early in its career, not-
withstanding the assertions of the party
stump speakers and editors during the
campaign that it would never, under
any circumstances, such a thing.
Senator not only thinks that
the administration will have
to borrow money, but he has prepared
a plan for it to do so, and it is sup-
that he will put it in the form
a bill, lie will introduce in Con-
His plan is in short to authorize
the Secretary of the Treasury to
row as much money as may needed
to make up the between the
government receipts and expenditures
so long as their is a deficit, the loans to
be made payable in a short period. Mr.
Chandler seems to agree with the state-
made on the stump by silver
men, that the election of
would mean among other things a
further increase in the National debt by
the Government borrowing more
but other Republicans will favor
exhausting all other methods of trying
to pull through before to an-
other loan in any shape.
Even if there was a Republican mi
the Senate, could not
accomplish any legislation this
session Congress, unless some way
could devised of reconciling the wide
difference of opinion among them as
to what ought to be done. There is
some talk of an attempt U add to the
government revenues by internal rev-
legislation, and the project of
adding a barrel to the tax on beer,
which came so near i ting incorporated
in the Wilson tariff bill by the Demo-
Ways and Means committee of
the last House, has been revived
may be recommended in President
Cleveland's annual message. The in-
of the brewers killed it when it
was proposed before, and now in ad-
to that it will have to contend
the opposition of the high tariff
Republicans who want to leave the
whole revenue question just where it is
in order to have an an extra
session of Congress.
The vacant seat on the bench of th
Court Claims which gossip had as-
signed to one the members of
dent Cleveland's cabinet went to
Attorney General whose
official duties have made him thorough-
familiar with the business of this
court. Judge legal attain-
are high and there is no personal
objection to him, but if the idea
by a considerable number of silver
men, hanging up all of Mr. Cleveland's
nominations in the Senate, be carried
out, his nomination will fail with all the
rest.
Whatever be one's
it is clearly apparent that the
action of gold Democrats, in trying to
get the administration to remove Dem-
in a number of States
because they supported Bryan, is not
calculated to wipe out the existing bit
between the regular Democrats
and the In the Post Office
department alone attacks are being
made by the upon more than
Presidential postmasters. It is
not likely that any c
of these, or any other officials the
of whose successors has to
e confirmed by the Senate, will be
removed, because, whatever may be the
result the proposition to take no
action upon any nominations, it is
that the Senate as at present con-
will not confirm the nomination
any gold Democrat for a position
from which a man removed for no
other reason than that he followed his
End supported silver. That
knowledge will probably prevent action
by the administration on the complaints

that an agreement will be

will act in all matters

This mission was founded on n point
of strategic value, a square or

I FAKIRS AND THE FAKED.
It is strange, but true, that
of people in an
age and country can be taken in
daily by fakirs. It is always safe
to follow the road of truth and
when you turn from that toad
yon are apt to be caught in a
trap. The that the best is
always cheapest is well worth re-
This is a day of
cheap things. On the corners of
our streets stands be licensed
physicians ready and willing to
you good service if sou are
sick. While he stands there and
waits for a call he sees in the
streets of the city a crowd around
the fakir- The fakir has h-s oily
tongue and great of
words to convince the able-bodied
man that he a tonic in the
shape of some pleasant liquid or
small palatable pill; to the
weak man or weak woman he can
administer drugs that will be
pleasant to take and certain to
cure, for the small sum of
cents. So it goes, the
flows ea--y and the fakir's mind
runs loose; all in a day. The
medicine is taken home by
purchaser and stored away to
evaporate. That is the way of
the world. papers in a town
may write and advise, the preach
in the pulpit may warn
exhort the people to beware of
the fakir, but the fakir still comes
and goes enriched by the money
of the innocent. The skilled
with his superior training
and years of experience cuts no
figure when the fakir comes
around. That is the curse that
pervades our country. Beware of
the fakir. Tour friends are the
ones to stand by and they, will
fake you. It you need a doc-
tor call a man who is trained
skilled. Gall on the wan
who has come among you to make
a living for himself and to be
service to you. Don't spend your
money on stuff that you know
nothing of. If we were all doc-
tors hard study and
we could the
pain found the streets.
But we are not. Everybody can-
not be skilled in the art of
medicines, that is left to
the learned men and women who
are devoting their lives to the
study of the human body and its
needs. So the best thing for
man or woman to do, who feels
the need of medicine is to go to
a physician that is known per-
or by
will by process where
you lose by patronizing a fakir.
This not only
cal fakirs, but it should apply
all business. It a merchant, who
had never been in the country,

Go to the fakir and get a cheap
suit and you will Buffer from the

figures he can sell goods

man selling out below cost
now and then, he is a bad to
buy from. The thing to do is to
trust your merchant. Stand by
him through thick and thin. If
he bites you he will make it good.
Don't try every new thing that
yon see and desert your former
