WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our regular correspondent
WASHINGTON, March 18th. 1888

5 Senator Brown, of Georgia, re-
fuses to march to the Administra-
J tive music. He made strong
speech in the Senate on Wednes-
day in favor oil his resolution, offer
ed early in January, declaring it to
be the imperative duty of Congress
to repeal the internal revenue laws
at the earliest day practicable. He
believes that day has now arrived
and that these laws should be wiped
from the statute book at once He
believes that the money needed for
the support of the Government
should be raised by tariff SO ad-
justed as to give American capital
and labor all possible incidental
protection, and so that the heaviest
burdens shall DE put upon luxur-
les.
He is opposed to the Govern
ment running two tax systems, es-
pecially when one of them is as |
obnoxious to the people as the in
ternal revenue system is. The
Senator's views are directly opposed
to those OF Mr. Cleveland and the
majority OF the Democratic party.
Mr.. Colquit, the junior Senator
from Georgia had on the Monday
previous made speech fully in
dorsing the Presidents tariff mes
sage, but Senator Brown is in the
habit of making two internal re-
venue speeches for every tariff re-
form speech delivered by his COL
league.
The Senate has produced still
another aspirant for Presidential
honsrs. Senator Hale, of Maine,
is the latest candidate for a boom
according to the gossips of the
Capital.
The scoring that Senator Ingalls,
gave Senator Vest has completely
taken away the little fellows cour-
age, it would seem. Rumor says :
hat at the end of his present term
n the Senate he will retire from
public life. 1t is always more or
ess dangerous to monkey with q :
,uzz-saw.
The Government Printing Office
Investigation is dragging slowly
long. The most noticeable feature
his week was Benedict's admission Il
hat his Republican predecessor had Il
ways shown disposition to a.
opt new methods and machinery in :.
nat Office as fast as they were APP n
roved by the trade at large. !,
Here's chance for the poor lob O
vist to make some money. A SUBJ 81
of the House Committee "
n Public lands are preparing q u
i'll to declare forfeiture of all rail- h.
Dad land grants. OF course the 70
.ilroads will fight this bill and that In
eans a good deal to the seedy lob sa
yist. 20,
The Republican minority of the
lays and Means Committee are
aving no stone unturned in their =
forts to get hearing for the in FL
lstries affected by the Mills tariff
IL, but SO far they have been fought n
every turn by the Democrats
til in the Committee room and on r..
e floor of the House. However -
their efforts will place the respon- ,
)lilty Tor refusing a hearing where
belongs.
The Presidential outlook from a -
publican standpoint remains I'M q
anged. No one candidate is 60
to the front very fast, although
nator Sherman is said to be max ri
: rapid strides in the South. The
ne thing was said of Mr.. Sher- -
IN in 1880, however, and he was
nominated, and unless he shall
velop some strength elsewhere
N in the South and in Ohio it is {
'ught he is not likely to fare any
ter this year. MI
