Washington Letter.
From our Regular Correspondent.
WAsHINeroN. March "a, 1889.

WASHINGTON, March "a, 1889. .
Democratic correspondents here, fall
ing to discover anything to criticise in
the action of the new administration up
to the present time, have resorted to
downright lying, in order to interest
their readers. One individual with
somewhat active and vivid imagination,
sent off long story purporting to give
the full particulars of how Harrison was
trying to force Wannamaker out OF the
cabinet; even going to the extent OF CIV
ing what was claimed to be copy OF
telegram from First Assistant Postmas-
ter General Clarkson to Joseph Mediii,
editor of the Chicago Tribune, telling
him that the president wanted to get rid
of Wannamaker, and that he (Clarkson)
was to run the department. This lie had
very short life. 1t was very promptly
crushed by Postmaster General Wanna
maker, First Assistant Clarkson, and
Mr.. Medill.
A discussion, or perhaps it would be
better to say general expression OF
views, during recent secret session OF
the senate, as to why the salary OF con-
gressmen should not be doubled, has
caused a good deal of discussion here.
The senate is in favor of it by large
majority, but whether majority would
vote for bill enacting such law, is
somewhat doubtful. 1t is argued that
no representative or senator can keep
house in this city on less than $1,000 a
year, and keep up the style and appear
ance that is expected of him. 1t is fur
Their argued that the cost of living in
Washington is so much greater than it
was when the present salaries were fixed
But there is another side to the question,
and although its upholders are in the
minority here, they probably have a
large majority of the voters of the coun-
try with them. They argue that the pre-
sent salary, $1,000 year, is enough, and
that the people do not send their repre-
sentatives and senators to Washington
to ape the manners of European nobili-
ty, nor to try to Guido the corterie of
millionaires who have of late years set
the pace for Washington society, but to
work. If any of them finds 81, 900 year
insufficient to live on, let him resign the
place to more economical man.
The country is certainly to be congrat-
ulated on the prospect of increased efti-
cheney in our postal service. Postmaster
General Wannamaker and his capable
assistants, Clarkson, Whitfield and Ha-
zen are all bending their energies to &C.
complish this much desired reform. One
good result Is the the appointment of J.
Louvre Bell of Pa. as superintendent of
the railway mail service.

How to Save Money.

Not by buying soap--though "soap"
is q good thing to carry elections.
Not by investing in infalable cures for
consumption, or champion catarrh
remedles--they are like the Yankee
peddler's razors, "made to SELL" The
way to save money is by the ability
to know a good thing when you see
it, and take advantage of it. You can
save money at all times by taking
the Burlington" for Chicago. st.
Louis, Kansas City, Omaha, Denver
and all prominent points in the West
and Northwest. The speed Of its
trains and the certainty OF its connec.
tons will save time, and time is
money. The comfort and luxury of
its equipment will save worry, and
the courteous manners of its employees
will save your temper. For, maps,
timetables and any information re-
speeding this line, call on any of the
local agents, or write to w. J. G..
Kenyon, gen. pass. agent, st. Paul,
MINI.
