WASHINGTON LETTER.

Written aud Compiled for the HERALD
WASHINGTON, Oct. 81, 1889.
General Green b. Raum, the
newly appointed Commissioner of
Pensions, is in charge of the Pen.
sion office today. Gen. Raum Is a
man OF national representation
he served one term in the House
of Representatives from the Thir-
teenth Illinois district, bat his
greatest reputation was gained as
Commissioner of Internal Revenue,
q position he ably filed from 1867
to 1888. His acceptance of the
Office is a great surprise here, as it
is we'll known that he gave up a
Law practice worth more than dOu-
BILE the salary Of the Office. 1t is
generally believed among Republl-
cans that he accepted the Office to
relieve the President from a very
embarrassing position.
Secretary Window has settled
the dispute over the admission of
silver lead ores from Mexico by de.
Gliding to stand by ex.Secretary
Sherman's classification, which
admits them free.
The Secretary of War has adopt
ed several amendments to army
regulations, with view to getting
a better class OF men to enlist, and
to stopping the present high ratio
of assertions from the army.
Secretary Noble has made pub
lie the correspondence that led to
the resignation of ex.COmmissiOner
Tanner. 1t shows that Mr.. Tanner
was guilty of official insubordina-
ton, ard intimates worse. Mr..
Tanner says he will prepare a
statement in reply.
Postmaster General Wanamaker
has incurred the ill-will of some
Virginian Republicans. This is
how; In 1886 a cOlOred laborer
from Virginia named Hunter was
removed and his place given to a
white Democrat from t h e
same state named Wrenn. Some
Virginia Republicans called on Mr..
WanamaSer to urge that Hunter
be put back into his old place, and
we're thunderstruck when the Post
master General replied as follow {:
"I appreciate the interest shown
in behalf of Mr.. Hunter and 1 re-
gret that l have not the time to go
over the case with you. Bat 80 far
as MIR. Hunters Republlcanism is
concerned, that alone shall not
weigh IN his favor, nor shall the
Democracy of Mr.. Wrenn operate
against him. "But !" remarked
one of the delegation "Wrenn's
politics got him in" 81 knew" re-
piled Mr.. Wanamaker "they (tbe
Democrats) wOald turn US out, but
l shall not pursue that course"
Nice sort OF a Republican Wana.
maker 10, said one Of the Virginians
as they came out.
Senator Quay has leased Senator
Sawyer's house, and his family are
now here for the season.
Republicans are ENJOYING the
Hin.Cleveland feud which has
broken out again with great Bit
terness. It's a great waste of time
as 1t is about as likely that either
of them will be King of England
as President of this country.
Thirty States will be represented
at the meeting here this week OF
the national board of promotion OF
the Worlds Exposition OF 1892
This shows the percentage in favor
Of Washington as the place fol-
holding the Exposition.

Century Magazine.

A remarkable feature of the MID
WINTER CENTURY is the opening
article on "GeroDe," the famous
French nrti.t and trainer of artists.
Gerome, of all contemporary French
painters, is best known in this country.
not only because of the popularity of
his works, but because so many of our
leading artists have been trained
by him in the free national school, the
Beaux Arts. or else generously assisted
by private advice and encouragement.
Two leading serial features of the
number are sustained in a particularly
interesting instalImept in the Life Of
Lincoln" and Siberian chapter by
George KEENAN, entitled "Exiles at
Irktusk." In the f"Lincoln Life" the
authors give an account of the events
leading up to the email removal of
General McC lellan. They fortify their
account by citations from MSS. in
their possession, and by 1.-THE presi-
dents own words taken down at the
time they were uttered"
War subjects are continued in
Memoranda of the Civil War" the
subjects being 1.-The Bottle of Frank
lin" and the Canal at Island No. 10"
Another extremely timely paper is
by the Rev. DIR. Washington GLADDEN.
on Safeguards of the Suffrage" DIR.
Gladden's suggestions are in the direc-
ton of reforms. some of which have
already been begun.
Mr.. Gable concludes the ''Strange
True Story" of "Francoise in Louisi-
ana !" and Mrs. Catherwood concludes
her Romance of Dollard." A south
ern story, 1.-Two Negatives, is told by
Mary Spear Herman; and a pathetic
Irish story, Under the Redwood
Tree" is told bv George H. Jessop and
illustrated by Kemble.
The poems are by Kate Putnam Os-
good, James Whitcomb Riley and
Caroline Hazard, with prose poem by
Langdon Elwyn Mitchell.
In "Brick-a-Brac" Mr.. Edwards. the
author of The Two Runaways, gives
a song OF the negroes entitled, Com
ing from the Fields. with illustrations
from Kembie and music by A. L.
Wood.
In the next number of the CENTURY
will be begun a brief story by Mary
Hallock Foote, author of 1.-The Led
Horse Claim" etc.. entitled, ..'The

make the Floral Guide valuable to
their many thousands OF customers in
this country.
We also notice that Wick returns to
the plan started by the founder of the
business yesrs ago. of Offering cash

think they were little out of their

"Another wonderful discovery has

vital organs were undermined and
death seemed iininent. For three
months she coughed necessarily and
