OUR WASHINGTON LETTER

wAsnISoros. ID. c. Nov. 30, 1886.
Editor of D,mocrdt;
Thanksgiving Day was cold aud ua'
pleasant. Rain fell 10 torrents during
the entire day, aud very few perons
ven,und from the shelter OF their home,
excepting those who were called out BY
necessity. The Department. and most
places Of ba,ine,. were closed, and the
streets wors deserted and decidedly
uninsi,ing aspect.
IL had been decided q, the White
House ,ha, as the repairs and improve
meats upon the country residence At
"o.k View" had been completed, that
the President and . party Of his select
friends shoild eat their Thanksgiving
dinner there. ba, the plan had 10 be
abandoned on sccoin, Of the weather.
and Mf. Cl.'elsnd spent bis time =, the
White House and was engsged during
the greater portion of the day upon his
message to Congress. Mrs. Cleveland
spent the day qais,ly With her mother.
and there we're no callers whatever.
The rain. ho~ever. did no. in any
manner interfere with the annual
Thanksgiving dinners ., the various or.
phsn ssylams and charitable Institutions
Throughout, the city. Secretary Whit
ney manifested his generosity by dis,ri.
bu,i,ing three hundred turkeys among
the clerks and employees in the Navy
Department
Il has always been the custom TO pay
the employees OF the House Of Repre-
sentaiives their November salaries upon
the day before Thanksgiving. This
year. however. the rule could not be
complied with, as the Law requires that
the Speaker should sign the certificates
before the sergeant.at.srms s allowed
to make the payments During the re-
cess Of Congress Is has been customary
to forward the certificates to the Speaker
at his home, Ia time, 90 that they may
be returned to the Capitol before pay
day. For the past few days the Speaker
has been expected to arrive in the city
therefore the certificates were not for
warded to him. Ia order that none ol
the clerks should f,rsgo the enjoyment ol
