OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.

WASHINGTON, November 9th, 1885,
Editor Herald:
Senator Quayi is generally understood
to be backing John Wanamaker, the
wealthy Philadelphia merchant, for a
portfolio in General Harrison's cabinet
Whether this is fact am unable to say
as Mr.. Quay is man who never talks OF
his plans until after they are accom-
Dlished, but if he has asked Gen. Harrl-
son to put Nj. Wanamaker in his cabi-
net It is very safe to say that It will be
done. and that Mr.. Wanawaker would
prove valuable member of the cabinet
.1isconcedeab body who is familiar

| ness career.
For some reason the impression is
rapidly becoming general here that Mr..
| Blaine will not be member of Gen. Har-
rison's cabinet. It is believed that he has
already been offered the state portfolio
and that he has declined it.
Mr.. Cleveland has retired to his coun-
try residence and the announcement Is
i, ade that he will not again visit the
White House until Congress meets, It is
s1ated mat he has retired for the purpose
of preDaring his last annual message to
congress, but have an idea that he de
sires to escape the numerous bores who
have been calling on him constantly since
election to tell him thecau OF his defeat.
He is beaten and that's all he wants to
know about it.
Y. " Murray, Of Tennessee, member
Of the republican national committee,
will, it IS said, be member of the cabi-
net II Gen. Harrison shall conclude to
have a southern member, q question
which has not yet been decided.
Representative Burrows, of Michigan,
has suddenly doomed up as formidable
candidate for the speakership of the next
house OF representatives. 1t is stated by
his friends that he became convinced last
sumner when the Mills bill was passeG
bv tie house that the next house was
certain to be republican, and that he then
began q still hunt ior the speakership,
which resulted in his getting a large
number Of pledges OF support. 1t is for
t.nItc hing for the republican party
res all lie candidates mentioned for the
speakers!lip are such able men, for in the
shaping and controlling of legislation the
speaker Of the house has more real power
than the president. The candidates thus
has mentioned are Messrs Reed OF Maine
Cannon of Illinois, Mckinley and Butter
worth Of Ohio, and Burrows of Michi-
gan; all Of whom are deserving OF all hon
ors that the republican party can give
them, and all OF whom possess the conf
dencc of the party.
1t has been fully decided that the In
auguration bail will be held in the hall of
the pension Office, The local committee
in charge of the preparations for the in
aucuration are determined to make it

took place ~ his country. Preparations

An English Marriage Lau.

The English are noted Tor the Ots,naCy
with which they cling 70 old laws amt
customs and for the caution with which,
often, they hesitate 10 alter laws and Gus
toms which have become wholly unsuited
to the age. A curious illustration OF this
IS seen In the fact that the law which for
bids man to marry his deceased vile $
sister still remains III force.
This law, which declares that such a
marriage is null and void, and that the
.hildren of such a marriage are not to be
recognized as legitimate by the law, was
passed fifty three years ago. For more
han forty years there has been an almost
constant agitation to get rid OF it; but it
has not succeeded because the house of
lords has steadily resisted the change.
Again and again the house of commons,
6y varying majorities, has passed bill
repealing the law. When sent to the
lords, these bills have been opposed 10y
he bishops, and mainly by their inhu.
nee, have been as often rejected once
he bill was passed To "a second reading by
he lords, but on the next stage OF con
sideration it was thrown out.
Recently the house Of commons once
more voted in favor Of the change The
majority in favor Of the bill was nearly
100, and was made up of members OF every
party. But no one expects that the house

A THEATER OF DISORDER.
Hayti,s Insolence and What We
Are Going to Do About 1t.


announce with sincere regret that
Hayti has again become the theater OF
instruction, disorder and bloodshed.
The titular government of President
Solomon has been forcibly overthrown
and he driven out Of the country to
France, where he has since died. The
tenure of power has been so unstable
amid the war of factions that has en-
sued since the expulsion of President
Solomon that no government c0nSti-
tuted by the will Of the Haytian people
has been recognized as administering
responsibility the affairs of that country.
Our representative has been instructed
to abstain from interference between
the warning factions, and vessel of
our navy has been sent to Haytian wat
ers to sustain our minister and for the
protection of the persons and property
of American citizens. Due precautions
have been taken to enforce our neu-
trality laws and prevent our territory
from becoming the base of military
supplies for either of the warning fac
tions. Under color of blockade, of
which no reasonable notice had been
given, and which does not appear to
have been efficiently maintained.
seizure of vessels under the American
flag has been reported, and in conse-
auence measures to prevent and rdress
any molestation of our innocent mer-
chantmen have been adopted.

THE DIPLOMATIC SERVICE.
1t Needs Lively Shaking Up,
and at Once.


The number of existing principal con-
sular offices is believed to be greater
than is at all necessary for the conduct
of the public business. 1t should be
our policy to maintain not more than
moderate number of principal offices,
each supported by salary sufficient to-.
enable the incumbent to live in COM
fort, and so distributed as to secure the
convenient supervision through subor-
dinate agencies of affairs over c0nSid-
erabie district. l repeat the recon-
mendatiens heretofore made by me that
the appropriation for the maintenance
of our diplomatic and consular sevice
should be recast; that the so-called no
torial or unofficial fees which our repre-
sentativeS are now permitted to treat as
personal peTquiSiteS should be forbid
den; that system of consular inspec-
ton should be instituted and that linn
tied number of secretaries of legation
at large should be authorized.
THE COMING CENTENNIAL.
Preparations for the centennial cele-
bratiOn April 80, 1889, of the Inaugural
ton of George Washington as presi-
dent of the United States at the city of
New York have been made by vOlun-
tary organization of the citizens of that
locality, and believing that an oppor-
tunity should be afforded for the eX-
preston of the interest felt throughout
the country with this event, respect
fully recommend fitting and cooperate
action by congress on behalf of the
people of the United States.

REVISE THE TARIFF.
That is the Only Panacea for Ex-
listing Evils.

A just and sensible revision of our
tariff laws should be made for the relief
of those of our countrymen who suffer
under present conditions. Such re-
vision should receive the support of all
who love that justice and equality due
to American citizenship; of all who
realize that that in this justice and
equality our government finds its
strength and its power to protect the
citizen and his property: Of all who be-
lieve that the cOntented competence
and comfort of many accord better with
the spirit Of our institutions than colos-
sal fortunes unfairly gathered in the
hands of a few; of all who appreciate
that the fcrbearance. and fraternity
among our people which recognize the
value of every American interest are
the Surest guaranty of our national
progress. and of all who desire to see
the products OF American skill and
ingenuity in every market of
the world, with resulting res
stOration of American commerce.
The necessity of the reduction of our
revenue is so apparent as to be gener-
ally conceded; but the means by which
this end shall be accomplished, and the
sum of direct benefit which shall result

the utmost importance. There should
be no scheme accepted as satisfactory
by which the burdens of the people are
only apparently removed. Extravagant
appropriations of public money, with
all their demoralizing consequences.
should not be tolerated either as a
means of relieving the treasury of
its present surplus or as furnishing
preteXtS for resisting proper
reduction in tariff rates. Existing evils
and injustice should be honestly recog-
nized, boldly met, and effectively rene
died. There should be no cessation of
the struggle until plan is perfected
fair ard conservative toward existing
industries, but which will reduce the
cost to consumers of the necesSaries of
life, while it provides for our manu-
facturers the advantage of freer raw
materials and permits no injury to the
interests of American labor. The cause
for which the battle is waged is COM
prised within lines clearly and distinctly
defined. 1t should never be compro-
missed. 1t is the peoples cause.
