(From our Reguler Correspondents} Wasuinaton, D, ©, Dec. 13 -79. The man who would haye pre- dicted the present condition of the Washington end of the Re- publican party a little more chan a year ago, when it had juat elected a President and a major- uty of the House, would not haye been given credit for sound yodgment, even by the bitterest enemy of that party. In fact, it is now difficult for one not in Washington, to helieve the ex- tent of the disruption of the party. Nothing can better illus~ trate this than the attitude of the Republicans in congress towards the recommendations made by Mr. McKinley's message. Not a single one of them has the sup- portof anywhere near the solid Republican vote in either branch of Congress) Mr. McKinley asked indirectly, Secretary Gage drrectiy, for the retirement of the greenbacke, but 1f the Democrats and populists retrain from voting, it is doubtful whether a bill pro~ viding therefor could pass either branch of Congress: Mr. McKin- ley’s Cuban prlicy is constantly and openly assailed by Repub- licans; he asked for the immedi- ate ratification of the treaty for the annexaticn of Hawaii, but not a move bas been made in that direction in the Senate, and abandcnment of tho treaty is looked for; he defended the civil gorvice law, and one haif of the], Repuilican members of the House are openly engaged in an effort {o break down that law. In fact, everything is tending to- wards & restoration of the Demo- cratic party to power, and the once boasted solidity of the Re- publican party, which was for years its most noted trait, has gone, appareutly forever. The House Banking and Ours rency Committee is laboring hard to produce a financial bill, but it is anctber case of “Much ado about nothing,” as there are abcut as many different opinions in the Committee as there are members, and each opinion is represented by a bill framed by its owner. It has been said that Czar Reed, in selecting this com- ‘mittee, chose men whum he knew would never agree on a bill, and it looks that way. Representative Sullivan, of Mississippi, in his speech against the payment of pensions to wealthy men quoted extensively from Gen. H. Y. Boynton’s recent atraingement of the injustice of the Pension laws as now admin- istered, because he endorsed what that gentleman had said and knew that nobody could raise any question of Gen. Boynton’s right to criticize. Although the Pension bill passed by the House, carries an appropriation of more than $141,000,000, something like $2 for each map, woman and child in the United States—it cents to pay interest on the pub- lic debt, although probably not made for such a purpose, ought, in view of the probable pension de. ficit of $10,000,000 in the next fis- cal year,and the announced desire of the administration to increase our bonded indebetedness, to cause many persons to pat on their thinking caps. It is practically certain that at the caucus of the Democrats of the House, to be heid this week, it will be decided to make Cuba a party question, ard to use every opportunity to attempt to get the Senate resolution, declaring for the recognition of Cuban belli- gerency adopted by the House. ‘also thas the caucus will declare the party opposed to each and every financial recommendation made by the administration. It is not likely that the caucus will say anvthing about the silver question. The position of the party is too well known to need any new declaration in favor of silver. The caucus will proba- bly declare against the annexa- tion of Hawaii, either by treaty cr legislation, and 16 may also de- clare against the enactment of the bankruptcy law, but there 1s doubt about the latter action, as there are some siiong adyocates |! of the bankrupt law among the Demcecrats, and others who doubt the wisdom of trying to make it a party question. The report that Czar Reed ia in sympathy with the fight o. civil service reform, because he recog- nizes in it a means of lessening Mr. McKinley’s chances for a renomination, was partially con- firmed by the attendance at a paucus of Republican Represen- tatives called to consider Ways and Means of fighting the present civil service law, and bring about | its modification or complete re- peal. In view of the absolute control Mr. Reed has over the Republican members ‘of — the House in about everything else, it does not seem hkely that as many as seyenty two of them could have been persuaded to take part in this movement unless they knew that Mr Reed had no objec tion toit. The average Demo- crat has never favored the ciyil service law, with its one part real reform to nine parts of the most js arrant bumbuggery, so it will not be surprising to see them vote with the kicking Republicans if their kicking goes as far as a vote. es A SORES A —— Don't Tobacco Spit and Smoke Your Lite Away.

Eccentricities of ja Cat. A slender black cat in the Boston postofiice building has developed a number of traits that make her a most interesting study. She is fearless and independent, and yet cjuiet and tame as a lady's pet. The cize or anpearance of a dog has no terror for her, if she is disposed'to attack him, and she walks among the people in the building and outside as uncon- cerned as ifshe knew them all. More remarkable still is her way of getting round from one place to another. She has a number of places in the building to visit, particularly on the thira floor, where there is a young lady who she likes to call upon at frequent intervals, andinstead of running up and down the stairs, as other cats naturally would do: she takes an eleyator, With an air of imposing dignity, she takes up a position among the rest of the passengers waiting forthe elevator, and when she gets'on board the elevator she looks earnestly through the door as the car ascends. Lacking means to signify where she in- tends to get off, she remains in the car until it stops at her desired aestination, and even force, unless it 18 irresista~ ble, cannot make her leave the elevator till it reaches the floor where she wauts to go. The elovator men know her habits so well that if she happens to be the only passenger going up they venerally offer her the third floor first! As she returns from a yisit, she again avails herself of the elevator service, whether she wishes to go up or down, for it 18 a matter of course with her to complete her round in the upper part of the building while she 18 wp that way-—boston Transcript. a ad Everybody, Says) So. ec ial Cascarets Candy Cathartic, the most wonderful medizal discovery of the age, pleasant and retreshing to the iaste, act gectly and positively on kidueys, liver and bowels, cleansing the entire system, dispel colds, cure headache, fever, habitual constipat.on and biliousness.
