Sneed supscrip Monpay, Frpguary 8, 1897. pesenemenoron = mourn gmt WASHINGTON LETTER ene (Fiom Our Regular Correspondent) WasHInGTon. Feb. 6th, 1897. Nobody seems to have any idea that the amended abitration treaty with England, which has been favorably re- ported to the Senate, will be acted upon at this session. In fuct, its friends would be efraid to torce a vote at. this: time lest it should result in rejection of the treaty. One of the legacies of the Harrison administration is a treaty that binds the United States to pay $6, 000 a year towards the support of a monarchy and an almighty poor specimen of monarchy at that. The treaty in question was made with Germany and England and the mcney goes to pay the expenses of the remi-savage King of Samoa, A year or so ago President Cleveland recommended legislation looking toward the cbrogation of this treaty, and each year there has been a protest made when the House reached the item of the Diplomatic and Cousular appropri- ation bill carrying that $6,000. T his week when the item was reached Rep- resentative McMillin mo ed that it be struck out. because he did not think i: right that our people should be contri- buting money to the support cf a mou- archy anywhere and under any cir- cumstances, but his movion was voted down, not because a majority of the House favored the appropriation but} because they considerd that as lorg as the treaty is allowed to stand we are in honor bound to pay our share of the money. Gen. Bradley T. Johnson, who was recently mn Cuba, is now in Washington and doing some very plain talking, For instance, he said: “The Cubéens will surely succeed unless the policies of the administration in aiding Spain crushes hope out of the Cubans. Every power, the army, the navyythe judiciary, of this great government ig now in active operation to aid Spain and crush the rebellion. Every power will be exerted during the next administration to the same end. The money power demands peace, quiet, rest ; but behind it all is vhe irresistible, omnipotent, all- prevailing force of manifest destiny which controls history, directs the ages, and is absolutely beyond and above the the force ot one generation, and controls them all. In this case, the will, the hope, the enthusiasm of the American people overwhelms Wall street and the peace of the money-changers, and will have free Cuba.” Hn. Jon W. Kern, of Indiana, now in Washington, says of the democracy of his State: “The democratic party ir Ind ana is as full of lite and in as good ‘condition as it has been during any time within the last twenty years. Every since the election has intensified the belief of the yoters out our way, who supported the Chicago ticket, that they had the right side of the argument. Tusteaa of higher/wages and full time, ‘promised by. the. republicans, wage+ earners have experienced a decrease in ec earnings since last November. _ Even now theré are. thousands ot good 3 eee “i hoes: party that are very willing to come into the fold once fy been made.the victims of a al Sat dence game. wk OU oe ~The dismissal tor the — tise ot a odin democrat.trom the .Treasury department may result in a scandal. The man dismissed is Mr. William E. Ryan, an expert accountant, who was a candidate for Congress in the Roches- ter (N. Y.) district: last ; ‘Noyembers}: Mr. Ryan was first dismissed the day after election. On Dec. 2nd he secured a reappointment av a reduced salary | under a civil. service certificate, He}: recently served notice of his intention to contest the election ih his: Congres- sional district, on the groand thac the use of the Myers, Ballot Machine was): illegal, and this week. he was again dis- missed. It is said he was given a hint} by a person in authority. that.it. would not be wise for him to make a contest? and he tkinks he now. knows why. It Senator Chandler can tell in the}' speech he’ has promised to thake on his resolution declaring it to he the sense ot the Senate that this country should}, not permanently accept the single gold standard, but should strive to have gold and silver put on the same terms by the free coinage of both, any other reason for the adoption of the resolution than | the bamboozling of silver, republicans into the belief that their party is going todo something fer silver the silver majority doubtless vote to adopt his resvlution, altHough they and everybody else know that it would be.meaningle:s so far as accomplishments are concern- ed. Everybody knows that the Senate believes in tae free coinage of silver. Mee: lat my. sel Pa u with and Oysters. T have: nice. Malage ~~ Oranges, Apples, « Nuts, Figs, &e- Leading brands of Cigars.
