WASHINGTON, March G, 1856.
It can hardly be denied that the
relations between the President and
the leading Democrats in Con
gress and elsewhere are somewhat
strained, to use the diplomatic
euphemism. Primarily it grows out
of the hostility-which, if not open
is certainly pronounced-to the civil
service law. In this they are not
sinners above all other public men.
There are certainly very few in
either party who believe in the law
as it now stands. But the effect of
the law, if not evaded, bears of
course hardest on the Democrats.
After a quarter of century of ad-
versity, of which they have not been
swift to learn the sweet uses, their
party comes into power to find itself
restrained from distributing the
public offices among its followers by
law of It's own deyising 1t is
expecting a good deal of human
nature to ask these men to carry out
the provisions of the Law in good
/ faith. From all that | can gather, |
am satisfied that the President Is
sincere, in 81 general way IN his
civil service views, but as il is i'm
possible for President to conduct
Il successful administration without
party back Of him, Mr.. Cleveland
has been compelled to make many
changes in office for purely political
reasons and laid himself open g
the attack Of the Senate. On the
other hand he has by no means sat
isfed the demands of his party, who
have d big fight on their hands in
sustaining the President on false
issue. This fight is made the more
embarrassing by the sudden and IN
expected participation Of the Presi-
dent ia it. Its as though tbs gen

A vacancy has recently occurred
at the Military Academy at West

district of Wisconsin. 1t is my
privilege, as representative of the
district to name some one for the
nosition. To the end that every boy
in the district may have an equal
chance to secure this educational
opportunity, / have arranged for
competitive examination to be held
in the Senate Chamber at Madison,
April 2Ist, 1856, and shall recon-

County School superintendent OF
the district have kindly consented

examination does not secure admls

nm eouitable method of determining
whom TO recommend for the position.
Early in June the nominee must
nresent himself for examination at
The Military Academy. The exam
nation at the Senate Chamber Will
however be made to conform as
nearly as possible to the require
ments for admission to the Academy.
The age for admission TO the

WASHINGTON March o, 1885.
Unusually animated debates are
promised at the Capitol this week.
The impending fight between the
President and Senate has begun.
The Republican caucus resolutions
will be met by two sets Of counter
resolutions from the Democrats of
the Judiciary Committee and another
from Senator Morgan alone, declar-

lation Of the law.
The House of Representatives
promises silver and nothing but sill
yer for the next ten days. Sixty
members have sjgnifed their inten
ton to be heard on this subject, and
yet all agree that the talk will
change no mans vote nor lead to
any legislation. When the last man
has made his speech the House will
be likely to vote against the suspen-
sion of silver coinage by a large
majority, and that will be the only
positive financial act done by Con
gress this winter.
The Blair Educational bill is still
under fire in the Senate. It's like,
NY to pass both Houses of Congress,
although it is not honestly approved
by the majority in either body,
Many leading Representatives and
Senator'S think il will result in moth
ing more than the mere spending OF
a large amount of money, but they
are not willing to be placed OF

nature but at the time both are pre-
vented from saying all they wish to
say on account Of the rules. Here
after Saturday will be free day for
all. Every Congressman with
grievance will make it known, and
the House galleries will be crorded
with visitors, for there is nothing
that the latter enjoy so much as
partisan or personal quarrel.
Apropos of quarrels, there was a
bitter one in the Senate a few days
since between two members of the
happy Democratic family. 1t was
accommodatingly omitted from the
Senate report of the Congressional
Record. The episode was quite as
personal as anything that had occur
red in Congress of late years, and
has made a breach between Senators
Morgan, of Alabama, and George,
of Mississippi, that cannot easily be
healed. In the course of a speech
on the educational bill which Mr..
George advocates and Mr.. Morgan
opposes, the former Senator under
took to convict the latter of incon-
sistency by reading remarks of his
delivered in the last Congress. Mr..
NJ organ said the reading misrepre-
scented him, and the Senator from
Mississippi knew 1t. Mr.. George
retorted that this statement was un-
true and that Mr.. Morgan knew it.
Other equally supplementary ex-
changes were made, and the Sena-
tors from Alabama and Mississippi
"no longer speak as they pass by"
The social world of the Capital is
finishing the last days of the gay
season which precede the Lenten
seventies at the reckless speed OF
five teas in one afternoon and az
many receptions in one evening. Ii
is surprising, too, that entertainers
should crowd these last days of the

hence. Even the most rigidly cen
serious find nothing to call dissipa
ton in this mild form of entertain
ment.
There is vast difference, il
Washington society, between a "tea'
and "high tea The "tea' takes
place from three to FIVE in the after
noon, and is usually attended b!
married ladies' and young maidens
with a sprinkling of society young
men, whose chief occupation is th'
encouragement of their first percep
tible mustache. The refreshment
consist of tea, coffee, ices, cake, AM
an abundance of gossip.
A "high tea is a much more elat
crate entertainment and takes plac
in the evening. 1t is attended b

always an extensive spread of deliC

eral of an army should not only |
insist on taking his place in the |
skirmish line, but should insist on
making reckless sallies in his own
proper person on the enemy's works,
imposing upon his followers the
necessity of rescuing him from the
consequences of his folly instead of
executing some well planned general
movement His harihood quite out
runs his discretion. His message to
the Senate very nearly got in ahead
of Senator Pugh's elaborate report
Certainly he makes some pretty
vigorous hits, but he has greatly
complicated the situation and has
dampened the ardor of his apologists.
Now the real issue was one of
honest, non partisan public service,
and that was what the law was in
tended TO secure. 1t was perfectly
practicable to make certain removals
for political reasons, so long as they
were not his exclusive ones, and to
appoint men in sympathy with his
political views, so that they also
united the other qualities needed in
an honest and efficient administra-
ton, and still not violate the real
issue made before the country and
the object which the law was in
tended to promote. The right and
manly thing was to say: "This law
is not mere fetch, and if strict
compliance with its letter will tend
to defeat its ultimate object, | will
avail myself of the discretion still
left in me so far as-for any honest
reasons-may be necessary" That
would have been position certain
tainly which the Republicans could
not have objected to, because they
would not be willing to have any
other rule apply to a Republican
President. The President has need
lessly laid himself open to criticism
also in the character Of his appoint
ments. That some mistakes should
occur through want of information
is to be expected, but when he makes
an appointment for political reasons
it would seem very unnecessary to
make appoint ments that fairly an
tagonize his supporters.
On the currency question Mr..
Cleveland is, of course, not in har-
mony with his party. Add to other
causes the telephone scandal, which,
whatey er the facts may be, has an
ugly look, and Mr.. Cleveland's aG-
ministration seems doomed to break
down. His administration will bear
much the same relation to his own
party as that of Mr.. Hayes did to
the Republican.
A small tempest in teapot has

CAPITAL NOTES.


No community halls the approach
of this spring of 1856 more joyful
" than do the people here. Win
ter without session of the legisla-
ture, preceded by an autumn with
out an election, is decidedly an "otf
year" for Madison. But there are
indications that in the near future 1t
will not be so marked; that the peo-
pie will learn to depend less upon
the excitements and profits Of politJ
ical strife, and turn their attention
and talents more to other enterprises,
and become more prosperous than
they ever might have been but for
biennial sessions and biennial cleo
tons. Nature and the state have
done so much for Madison that she
prospers and must continue to pros
per. While she has never had a
"boom," she has steadily grown and
improved. Her population increases
slowly but surely, and city property
grows in value more or less from
year to year. Since 1850 her growth
in population has been about 10 per
cent. and the increase Of wealth
somewhat more. Since 1880 there
have been introduced waterworks,
sewerage, aud a street railway, and
many fnc residences and business
houses have been erected
The new postmaster has not yet
taken charge, owing it is said to the
illness Of his son in Chicago. Many
believe that the rumblings over this
appointment, and some others by
Villas, will be feltin a reduced Dem

The proposed Democratic state tick

a view Of quieting some turbulent
elements of that party. For IN
stance, the suggestion Of Capt. Priest,

from Madison, which furnished the
influence that defeated him for post
master at Mineral Point, smells Of
"taffy." 1t may bc that Capt. Priest

of the state who have been set aside
at the dictum Of Villas aud his
coterie Of assistant bosses at Madi
