H~aRRlsoN's POLICY.

Some of the Things Expected From the
New Administration
Washington special: Very little is
being said in Washington by the higher
GLASS of southern statesmen about "tbe
southern policy" OF President. elect Har-
rison, who sie in congress and the de.
partments here, believe that President
elect Harrison intends to simply appoint
the very best republicans residing In
the south to the federal POSITIONS there;
that he will advocate the adoption OF
such laws as will guarantee honest cleo
tions everywhere and uplift the indus
trial interests of all sections Of the coun.
try, and that there bis southern policy"
will end. They believe that General
Harrison does not now, and will not,
advocate any specific laws for the south,
aud that be will not direct his attention
to the adoption or enforcement of Ia ws
intended only to effect sections.
So far as the confederates are ION.
cerned-and these are the men who are
talking so much about the southern
policy"--they are more concerned about
their loss Of power than anything else.
They fear that the incoming of President
Harrison and the re.apportionment On the
census OF 1890 means q RELOCATION to the
rear for at least q quarter of 9 century,
the Gemo- confederate party, which goes
out OF power on March A next.
President White, OF the Fourth Ma
tional bank, of Cincinnati, said to your
correspondent the other day that the
financial men whom he had met and
talked to since the election were expect
ing a more bountifui supply OF money
within o short time after President BAR
rison lie inaugurated than they have had
for many years. He said that the bank
ers were now reducing as rapidly as pos
sible their capital stock, taking up to
the minimum the bonds they have de-
posted with the treasurer OF the United
States to secure circulation. and that
more bonds were being offered for sale
now than he had ever known. All thie,
he said, naturally tends toward q greater
Volume OF money, as the redemption of
there bonds placed the cash IN the hands
of those who wanted to nseIt.
Even at the treasury department the
present democratic officials will frankly
say that the incoming of President Her.
rison means cheaper money TO borrowers.
They expect to see the redemption OF
bonds as fnst as the surplus aceumulates
and the output of the latter Just IS soon

quiries, and they are proceeding east
ward with q view TO %arranoing for the
sale of state, county, municipal and real
estate bonds, and TO secure investments
in western real estate by eastern capi-
~talists. There are q number OF gentle.
men in the city now from tbe west on
their way east TO induce capitalists to
invest in manufacturing enterprises.

Smith says the ~jailers are in the habit of
taking their favorites around town and
coming back intoxicated. Several pris-
oners have been allowed to escape, and
nothing has been done about it. Whisky
has been furnished to prisoners by the
%jailers. Prisoners have been allowed to
do work outside of the jail for friends Of
the jaile rs. Ole Sjmulson, another pris-
oner, ~corroborates everything That Smith
says. Several of the prisoners admitted,
though reluctantly, that they had been
furnised with whisky by the j~ailers.

officially deny these statements, but call

commissions for the sale of tickets. The

The principal reason for his Inactivity
