sase'to colsrsss Is looked forward
to with much 'fntersqt' here.
&m Informed py a gentleman who
knows, that'it siif be a very short
doaumsnt and That 1t viii reiterate
the main points of h IS celebrated tar
iff message of last D eeember.
seerstary FaiFchild has found it
necessary, ow,ng TO thG imnudepee OF
the jubilant, hold oyer Republican
slegks in lps Treasury Department,
to issue an erder forbidding the
clerks in that department talking
politics.
] have been hunting ever since
Harrlgon was known to pe elected
for a Washington Republican who
ipes not expect to hold office under
the nest standardization. He has
not yet been found, and it seems un-
likely that he ever win be. If the
local Ee publtcans of this city are to
gat all of them, what Is to become of
the fellows who did the voting in the
States.
The Reppblicaps in thg Depart
ments here WHO have been the lond-
est shauters for q non-partisan civil
service under the present admins
tr%ation, are now vigorously clamor-
ing for . "clean swQsp' after the 4th.
of March. Such is the price of keep.
ing these fellows in office years after
they should have been discharged.
When the Democratic party gets con
trol of tbs Government again 1t will
know better.
A fact has Just leaked out here that
if known before election would haze
probably reelected Mr.. Cleveland.
| allude to the unexpected addition
to the Cleveland family some time
in next May. Every lady who hears
this news at once eXclaims: "Too
bad! and just after they leave the
While House; isn't 1t a shame?'
Dudley and Quay have come to
Washington in order thai they may
manipulate the scheme whereby they
hope to secure. cotrol of the next
House of Representatives for he Re
publicaus, Notwithstanding the fact
the returpg show q Democratic ma
jority of two. The Democratic man
ayers are fully alive to the situation
and are fully confident Of their abiii-
ty to thwart the Republican schemes
and to organize the next House.
The U. s. Supreme Court rendered
an important decision this week in
regard to life insurance policies. The

Sens.or Kenna, Of West Virginia,
aas telegraphed here that the legis-
!ature of that State 10 certainly
which insures a Demo-
cratic Senator. Members of Con-
gress are arriving slowly for the COM
ing session. 1t ia not thought that
the Republicans Of the Senate will
try to pass their tsriffbill this winter
Owing to the large number of can
iidates who expect to go intn the
Cabinet it is thought Mr.. Harrison
will have nc end Of trouble in max
ing 1t up, and that whoever he may
select he is certain to make many
enemies. Harrison's Southern poll
cy is also likely tp give him trouble.
IF he follows his own incliDations 1t
will be very conservative, but there
are quite a number Of influential Ne
publicans that favor a radical policy.
Many think Harrison has back bone
enough to shape things to suit him
self, and that he will endeavof TO
win friends in the South by good ap-
continents to the federal offices
there. A good deal will depend on
the men he selects for Postmaster
General and Secretary Of the Treas
ury, those two officials controlling
the most of the appointments in the
south. One timing aeemst9 be pretty
rertain, no attempt will be made to
put the negroes in tho front. 10 tell
the truth most Of the Republicans
seem to be disguised with the negro
anyway.
Secretary Endincott's daughter
was married yesterday to Mr.. Joseph
Chamberlain, a membsr OF the Eng
fish Pertinent. He was also the
English Commissioner who negotla-
