WASHINGTON LETTER.

WASHINGTON, %. c., January 81, 1891,
II the Republican papers are to be
believed, the time is at hand for one
large portion of that party 10 Con.
gress to begin work for an extra ses
sion This morning for the FIRST time,
the National Republican, stalwart and
Grant paper, sounds the alarm that
CoHklng is 20 be disregarded by the
next administration. Papers of stand-
ing, in both parties, have of late pub
Iishcd statements that Blaine, Sher-
man, and a few o hers were to ave q @
honors Garfield had to give, aud "in
luence with the new administration
while Conking was TO be put of with
a Score aryship Of the Navy-a place
that Hayes offered To a young friend
of Mr. Blaine, but which MI Blaine
would not allow him 10 accept. Ac
eepung rs a fact this story that
Couking and Grants other friends
ave to be snuhbed, there will b. %
row aud an attempt To break down
the administration, and will be-
strange IL Mr. Cunkliug does not see
the great advantages as extra session
next summer will give bin. lie eau
force one. II will astonsh his friends
if he fails to DO so.
Amongst oil the estimates that are
made for Cabinets, no one has sug-
gested the name Of Carl Schurz This
political adyenturer has no future
He has heretofore traded upon his
control Of the German vote-his un
impeached personal character and
bis cry of reform. But his stock
IN trade is all gone. The party will
reform him out-his character is
smerched all over with scandals, not
only as to money matters, but in re-
gard to some other and more disreL-
u;able affairs, which have heretofore
been smothered because Of the party
of the second part" his influence
over the German compatriots is gone,
and Carl Schurz will soon be what
Senator Jones Of Nevada, some Yeas
since call him, "a id dutch tramp"
The funding bill passed in the
House on Tuesday, was in better
shape than had been anticipated. For
this, great credit is due Speaker Ran.
dali, and Representative Carlisle.
Indeed, but for these two gentlemen
the House would now be stumbling
along in a vain effort to pass any bill
at all. Interest is put at 3 per cent.
on S400,000,000 bonds, redeemaLle
in five years and to be paid in ten,
and the same 100000, 900 Treasury
notes, redeemable in one year and
due IN ten. National Banks must &C

their dealing with the government,
they are required to keep bonds de-
posted. The expenses Of negoti. =

$50. The great contest on the bill

amended il, the House again dis
