WASHINGTON LETTER.
(From our Regular C orrespondent.)
Wasuineron, D. 9., Oct 18, 97.
The: Platt-McKinley deai, first
shown ap in this correspondence,
has been fully proven by the
administration, public and pri-
vate, within the past few days.
It was to whip all administration
Republicans into line for PlattTs
man Tracy, that Mr. McKinley
had Secretary Bliss write that
gushing letter in TracyTs fayor
and announce his intention to
pertonally take part in the New
York campaign. The fate of
other national administration
candidates in New York should
have warned Mr. McKinley,
According to a private letter
receiyed from those who move in
diplomatic circles in Lonéon,
Mr. McKinley became very much
afraid about the time the Gov:
ernor of the Bank of England
made that silver bloff, that his
own bloff, the international bi-
metallie commission was being
Seriously taken. by tue British
government, and caused it to be
Unofficially intimated to Lord
3 Salisbury that this government
bad no real desire that any steps
ahonld be taken that were likely
to leaa to international bimetal-
, and it was slowly but surely

Ht
A

letter to the publisher of the
Baltimore Sun, offering to with-
draw from the leadership of the
management of the present cam-
paign, has been the most absoro-
ing topic ot conyersation in
Washington since 1¢ was publish-
ed. Inagmuch as. the,Spn bas
claimedT Senator GormanT to be
the obly obstruction to 1ts sup-
port of the nominations of the
Democratic party, in. Maryland,
Senator GormayTs offer has placed
it where it must present. some
better excuse for ignoring the}
offer than.ithas yet done, or run}
therisk of losing the confidence}
of many Democtiats. Wemocratic
sentiment in Washington. is
practicallyT unanimously on the
side of Senator Gorman in this
controversy: In that open letter
Senator Gorman thus detines his
attitude towards the Civil Service
Law: oI am unalterably opposed,
except in judicial places, to life
tenure of office. It is incompati-
ble with our free institutions. I
believe that the highest standard
for admission to the Ciyil Service |T
~should be honesty and capacity.
When appointed, persons in pab-
lic employ, should. be: free from
political assessment, but I am
unalterably opposed to any. rule
which will prevent the people, at
stated and fixed pericdsT from
changing their public. servants.�
It is no longer a secret that
Gen. Fitz Lee, who has been
much before the public since he
became ourT Consul. General to
Cuba, will be a candidate for the
seat now held by Senator Martin.
It'is also fully understood that
Gen. Lee will, when he returns
from Cuba, probably early. next
year, begin a personai canvass
for the WSenatorship, which he
intends sball cover the entire
State of Virginia, even to its re-
motest corners.
The administration fully re-
cognizes the danger cf a big
Treasury deficit during the next
fiscal year, added to that which
is being piled up during the cur-
rent fiscal year, and av the last
Cabinet meeting 16 was deter-
mined that the departmental es~
timates for appropriations to be
submitted tothe coming session
of Congress, should be cut down
as low as possible, in order to try
to get the expenditures down to
the receipts of the government.
This 1s confirmation of the argu-
ments presented by prominent
Democrats while the tariff bill
was before Congress+-that the
bill would not raisé sufficient
revenue.
No one in the auministration
circles has denied the statement
that Attorney General McKenna
is to have the vscancy made by
the retirement Justice Field from
the U. S- Supreme Court, on De-
cember 1, althoagh there is one
special and particular reason why
Mr. McKenna shou!d never sit
on the Su} reme Court"he is too
friendly to the big corporations,
this was known before he came
to Washington, but additional
proof was given to his acidity to
ratify the bargain made under
the Cleveland administration for
the sale of the Union Pacific
Railroad to the Huntington reo:-
ganization committee, under coa-
ditions which practically shut out
competition im the bidding.. An
attempt 18 now being made to get
Mr. McKinley to interpose his}
authority in some way tostop the}
sale of the Union Pacific at least
until the conditions of the sale
can be changed g0 as to make
them as fair to one set of bidders
as to another, but there seems to
be some doubt of nis authority
and more of his inclination to
interfere, after Boss Hanna had

A POSTER TRAGEDY, ~~
A purple moment of bright blue bliss
Was mine, oh, green haired maid,
When from your lips a yellow kiss
I sipped in the dark red shade.
The ecru moon hung on a tree,
We sat by a vertical brook.
You were a-laughing in olive pink glee
And reading the edge of a book.
And I was singing a lavender song,
Speckled and mingled with blue,
But I stopped for a moment, perhaps not too
long,
And kissed you, I took perhaps two.
By the red hills ¢opped with golden snow,
By the trees tearing holes in the sky,
I swore the rod world I would overthrow
For your love, or lie down and die.
But away from my vowing I was rudely
snatched
And thrust far, far from you.
The color I wore with ibe landscape matched,
And that would, alas! never do.
And now among the blue lilies afloat
On a sea of brown and red
1 sit on the edge of an olive green boat
And hold my pea green head.
