WASHINGTON LETTER.
orrom our Regular Correspondent,
WASHINGTON, June IL, 1889

definitely postponed on account
of the news received from Hayti.
1t seems that the fellow who was
engaged in making a treaty with
France that would endanger the
Monroe doctrine has been SO badly |
licked by the rebel general that
be is no longer in position to
make treaties, hence we have no
need for a commission In that
country, and Blame has no excuse
for attempting to bull-ooze Har-
rison into letting him have ehis
way. The next news from Hayti
may change the face of the mat
ter.
Secretary Window has, in de-
ference to a wide expression OF
condemnation refused TO accept
opinion Of the Solicitor of the
Treasury, that it would be unlaw-
fnl for the Catholic University of
America, that is to be established
IN this city, to bring from Europe
a corps of instructors. The mat
ter bas beea referred TO the At
torncy Genelal and If he decides
the opinion of the Solicitor to be
good law the officers of the Uui-
ycrsity will 90 to Congress
in order 10 get an amendment
to such an absurd law
Disappointment at not recciv-
ing an Office Is having a bad
effect ON James jackson, OF
Alabama, who was a candidate
for the District Attorney-ship
given to Parsons the engineer of
the "white mans party" fiasco.
He IS in such bad way that his
family has been telegraphed to
come or. He is crazy,
Among the recent appoint
ments by Harrison were demo-
crat and a negro. The negro was
made receiver of public moneys at
Huntsville, Alabama, and the DEM
ocrat, Marshal of the western dis
trict Of Louisiana
Cranks seem to have the adj,
vantage of ordinary people in the
matter of '.luck." For instance,
look at the case of Capt. G.. A..
Armes, U. S. A. retired, who has
just had his third sentence of
dismissal from the army commuted
by the President to confinement
within such limits as may be
presented by the Secretary of
War. and to deprivation of the
right to wear the Uniform and in
sigma OF his rank IN the army for
a period If FIVE years. The
offtnses for which he was tried
this time were lntruding into the
inaugural parade and attempting
20 pull the nose of Gov. Beaver
of Pennsylvqnia. III c court marital
foInd him guilty and sentenced
him to dismissal. Most people
here regard HIM as elazy enough
TO be in an asylum.
julius Cescr Burrows the
Michigan Congressman, whose
princIpal distinction is the posses
sion of voice that is pretty
good imitation Of a fng-horn, and
who hopes to be Speaker Of the
next House of Representatives, is
very much troubled for fear that
1.-THE wicked democrats will give
the republicans trouble when the
time come to organize the House.
II is pretty commentary on the
rules governing that body for
! Burrows to say that with the as
slstance of one experienced mem-
ber he could keep the House IN 4
| deadlock for the two ears OF its
existence.
Post Master General Wan
amaker is ANXIOUS TO stop the
handling of the mails on Sundays.
1 The busiD IS men Of the country

test against sucli move. The

maker more than he paid for his
position If he could stop all mails
on Sundays 1t wo,.Il be worth
at least one million dollars pei
year TO that coucera.
There is runfol here that
