NOVEMBER 30, 1897. aarti nt Ne minal WASHINGTON LETTER. (From our Regular Correspondent. ) Wasuineton, D. ©., Nov 29, ‘97- “Walk into my parlor,” says the svider to the fly ; “walk inte my National bank scheme,” says the administration to the South- ern Democrats. As fast as the Southern Democrats arrive in Washington, they are hutton- holed by agents of the adminis— tration, who try to convince them what a boon it would be for that section and for portions of the West, where banking facil - ities are deficient, 1f National Banks could be estadlished in gmall towns with a capital of $25,000, wero allowed to issue currency to the par value of bonds deposited with the gov- ernment, and the tax on that currency was made merely nomi- nal. Atter talking up the adyan- tage of a plentifui supply of cur- rency at home, to meet the home demand, they try to get the Southern Demccrats to pledge themeelves to vote for a bill em- bodying these amendmeats to the National banking laws- It is a shrewd game, and the argu ments are plausible when used to men who know how their con- stituents are at times inconve- nienced by the lack of sufficient currency to meet their needs, and it is not surprising that some Democratic support for the ideas has been secured. The adminis- tration hopes to get enough Democratic Senators to put this scheme ihrough the Senate, in connection with other finaucial legislation, about which care 18 taken to say nothing at this time, ar if that is not feasible, to put through a bili with no other feature. Anything that will gtrenghen the National Bankirg aystem will strengthen the 8 standard pclicy- Secretary Long’s annual report contains several sentences that must have escaped Mr, McKin- ley’s blue pencil by accident. For instance, ne speaks of “pos- sible annexation of islands in the Pacific,” as though he entertained doubts about the aunexation of of Hawaii, and he acknowledges Dis fear of that growing Treasury deficit by saying that in expen- ditures for the Navy “a due regard is necessary to the relation of the national expenditures to the national reverues.” It is _ Very difficult to reconcile the decidedly peaceable tone of the Secretary's ofliciel talk about only smail additions to the Navy being provided for by this Cor- : ‘Bress, and of his intention to take War Ships out of commission in « rder to pay running expenses, ‘With the action just taken by his _ @epartment in placing a large _ pontract—the largest made since ‘he ,, war—for ammunition and Several hundred employes of freasury Department find it dmpossible to prepare for Christ DAILY REFTECTOR mas in the proper joyous. spirit, in the meantime. fall upon, their officiat necks, The civil service territory shall have a propertion- ate «rota of the employes of the Government. Secretary ° » Gage ha3 just had a list prepared show- ing the residence of the emr loy- es of his Department, and has announced bis intention to weed cut the “barnacles.” This has been interpreted by the employes to mean that dismissals are to be made among the residents of those States having more than their share in order. to give the places to residents of States which have less than their share. Should this be true, many per- sons residing, or claiming a residence, in nearby States. will have to go, as the nearby States all have more than their share, but the heaviest blow would fall upon reside..ts of the District of Columbia, which is legally entitled to only nine clerks ir the Treasury Department, but which bas more than three hun- dred. There have been several scares of this sort before, but it isn’t the sort of thing that the poor devils who haye been in government employ so long that they have forgot how, if’ they ever knew to make a living out- side, can get used to. Tha od thing about it, if carried out would be that it would catch many more Republicans than Democrats, but nota few of them are political hermaphrodites, making it their business to always appear to belong to the party on top, without. actually belonging to either. Representatiye Hartman, Montana, takes issue with the Repablicans who are trying 80 hard to create the imprssion that the silver question is dead. He says it 18 the livest issue now before the people, owing to the absolute failure of the Woilcctt Commissicn; that last year thousands of Republicans voted for McKinley, believing that he, would do something for silver, and pow they know thai he will not. My. Hartman makes this preciction for 1900: “There will be 2,500,000 free siiver Republican votes, 1,500,000 Ponulist votes aud 4,500,000 Democratic votes for the nominee who ‘stands for the ideatical principles that Mr. Bryan stood for last year.” Representative Livingston, of Georgia, who is one of the best friends Cuba has in Congress, doesn’t think the outlook good for legislation tayorable to Cuba. He thinks there will be a lot of talk but no action.

The word Thermopylw simply means hot springs, and the famous pass where the battle was fought between the Spartans and the Per- sians took its name from the warm springs flowing from the side of the mountain.
