The administrationtrying to bluff a portion of its ownparty and the country, It doesnTtwant any financial legislation, Thishas already been made plain in theHouse by the grab game engineered byMr, Dingley by which his committee"Ways and Means "wijl] take charge of« all financial bills and smother them,Republicans have also plainly indicatedby their talk that they hintimations from theis simplyad receivedadministrationthat no financial legislation was wantedIf public criticism ot its atutude mekesit necessary to strengthen its bluff, theadministration will, through Mr,Dingley, fix Up a bill and jam itthrough the House, knowing that theSenate would not act upon it, Otcourse, the people-of this country arefools enough not to know the difierencebetween this sort of thing and real_ Statesmanship, and they will be sosorry that the administration isnTtuble to get what it doesnTt want"soSorry that they'll elect a Democratic}Congress next year. :The administration doesnTt wish theNicaragua Canal question to be actedupon by this Congress, and when Mr.McKinley eaid in his message that hewould have something furvher to sayon tke subject when he submitted thereport of the Commission which basjust started for Nicaragua to make anew survey and estimate of cost, underaz. act of Congress, he was fully awarethat the commission was not likely tonace a report before the death of theFifty"fitth Congress. In fact, it isknown that members of the commis~sion were given a broad hint beforetheir departure that their report wasnot expected before March 4, 1899.One Nebraska Republiaan"Mr.Winfield S$. Strawn, an Omaha lawyer"has turned up in Washinton who ishonest enough to publicly say that the.Republicans have no chance to carrythat State, either at the Congressionalelections next year or the Nationalelection of 1900. Mr. Strawn saysthe Republiesns have net been able toget back the tarmer votes they Icst cnthe silver question, and that they arenot likely to get them back so long asthe question is unsettled,With the exception of SenatorsMorgan, of Alabama, and Gorman, ofMaryland, every Democratic Senatoris now lired up ngainst the annexa-tion of Hawaii, and ~the oppositionamong the Republicans already in-cludes Senators Hoar, Morrill andPettigrew. This makes it impossibleto procure the two thirds vote neededto ratify the troaty providing for an-hexation, and the Republicans arealready seriously thinking of abandon.ing the treaty and trying to secureaunexation by majority legislation, Itlooks as though the anexation questionwas going to be used by the Reedmachine.to whack McKinley over thehead, The Czar 1s understood tohave privately announced himself to beopposed to annexation. In fact, pres-ent indications are before this sessionhas grown very old the line betweenMcKinley Bepublicans will be sharplydrawn.If Spain isnTt entirely pleased withthe s tuation at the Washington endof the line she must be hard to please,It was a new thing tora President ofthe United States to devote nearlyhalf of his message to Congress to anargument in favor of allowing a for-eign nation more time in which to tryto squeeze the lite out of a peopleresiding in s'ght of our coast, and theinnovation was nausecus to many. Adose equally nauseous followed, whenSecretary Gage presented severalcolumns cf colid newspaper matter,giving in detail the extraordinaryefforts of this country to aid Spain bysuppressing filibustering. Senator Allen offered a resolution in the Senatetor the.recognition of Cuban indepen-dence, but it is feared that the Com-mittee on Foreign Relations, to whichit was referred will pigeon hole it.The first skirmish in the war on thecivil service law was pulled off in theHouse this week, and it was livelywhile it las~ed.
