WASHINGTON LITTER.


Senator Stewart is after the Gen
eral land ofiire with a vengeance. He
does not believe that the affairs Of
that Office are as well conducted as
they should be, and he has offered
resolution calling upon the Sacrc-
tary of the Interior for information
as to the land suits, land patents,
and timber depredations. 1t is
opposed by the Democrats on the
ground that it will cost too much to
prepare the statement, but Senator
Stewart will probably insist on hay-
ing kis resolution passed.
The House has passed the bill
requiring all Goverpmens securities
to be printed in the highest style of
art. on hsnG presses.
The Republican Senators held a
caucus last night to consider the tar
if bill, Clevcland's bembastic mes
cage, and general legislation. 1t is
probable that the Republicans will
agree to pass . resolution which
will give Cleveland all the author
ity for which he asks in order to re-
taliate upon Canada for its treat
ment OF our fishermen and other
interests, although they believe that
the jsipt resolution, passed more
than eighteen months ago, gave
him all the authority for which he
now asks. But it is not at all like
~ that he will do anything; in is
suing his message he has accom-
plished the only Object he had in
view-trying to hold the Irish vote
for the Democratic party. The in
tellisent Irishmcn of this country
are not, however. likely to be
caught by anything as transparent !
as CIeveland's message.
The pleasant little fiction known
as 'civil service REFORM" which
was so popular in the early days of
the present pinchbeck administra-
ton, has been entirely laid aside,
and every office hslder is expected
to put his hand in his pocket and
his shoulder to- the wheel to help
re-elect the great Tin weight) and
good (when he cannot be otl,erwiss)
Grover Cleveland.
1t is given out that Cleveland has
contributed $40. 900 to the Demo-
cratic campaign fund. This is prob
ably . lie, but it will have the ef-
feet extended-that of making the
small fry officials come down with
the cash. 1t is also said that Post
master General Dickinson has given
SIC, 900, Secretary Villas the same
amount and Secretary Whitney $685.
600.
Office holders are making stump
speeches all over the country; but
Of course, it is not "pernicious activ-
ity" to work for Cleveland.
The country has been nauseated
with constantly hearing of "Demo-
cratic economy" during the past
two or three years. Senator ALI
son has shown this week, in .
speech in the Senate, that it has
cost the people just $95, 000, 900
more to run the Government under
! Democratic administration.
No claim that has ever been put
To- ward by the Democratic party
for the confidence Of the people of
this country will stand tho test of
common sense and mathematics.
Senator Plumb, from the commit
lee on appropriations, has reported
The Notifications bill to the Senate.
[t appropriates 1922, 900, and
here is also = provision under
uhich Sc, 100000 additional may
be spent at rate not exceeding ST.
300, 900 year for the purchase of
guns.
Senator Allison hes exploded the
'utile sttempt Of the Democrats OF
he House to throw the response
bility for the extravagant appropria-
ions which have eaten up the an
nual surplus for the preeent fiscal
vear upon the Republican Senate,
,ecause that body added items to
he appropriation bills - passed by
- Honoa. The Houne cut down
