FRANK HATTON.
The Great Kicker on Civil Service Accused
of Being Democrat.

The Great Kicker on Civil Service Accused
of Being a Democrat.
WASHINGTON, July H.-"What's the mat
ter with Frank Hatton?' StraiRht-laced
republican statesmen have had occasion to
ask this question very many times since the
cratic Hatton became editor of the Wash
ington Post. Frank Hatton first became
prominent when connected with the Bur-
lington Hawkeye. There was no better re-
publican than Hatton in those days. Then
Hatton came to Washington as first assist
ant postmaster general under the Garfield
administration. When Arthur became
president, Hatton was promoted from
the head axman's pos ition to full
fledged cabinet position in this de-
partment. Since his retirement from Off
cial life Hatton has been in numerous news
paper ventures. He was one of the found
ers of the New York Press, rabid repub-
lican organ. Hatton retired from the Press
and came to Washington as chief editor of
the Post. And the politicians are now
claiming that Hatton is fast losing his re-
publicanism-in fact is becoming q pretty
good democrat. The Post has become fam
GUS for its war upon the civil service COM
mission. And during the present session
of congress Hatton has taken occasion
many times to editorially lash the &. O. p.
for its alleged shortcomings. It may be,
however, that Hatton has decided that a re-
publican organ will no longer pay expenses
in Washington. Hatton's Post is independ-
ent and it is the best newspaper Washing
ton has ever had. It looks as though the
cratic Hatton had great head.

YESTERDAY IN CONGRESS.

WASHINGTON, July I.-In the senate the
house bill for the disposition of the aban-
doned military reservation at Fort Ellis,
Mont, was reported and placed on the
calendar. The sundry civil bill was taken
up and many amendments agreed to, among
them the following: For completing the
lighthouse on Northwest Seal rock, OIL
Point st. George, California, $1,000; for
new steam tender for service in the First
lighthouse district, $4,000; tender for
Ninth and Eleventh districts $75, 600; ten
der for Thirteenth district, $95, 900; $4,000
for the completion of the government trout
breeding and distributing station in Lake
county, Colorado; increasing the item for
the transportation of silver coin from
$25,oOO to $55,ooo; inserting an item
and repairing the vaults in the treasury
building, and for constructing new vaults
or safes. An amendment to insert an item
of $5OO, 900 for establishing in Washington
Latin American memorial library, site to
be selected by the secretary of state and the
building to be erected under his direction
and supervision. having been reached. Vest
opposed it as q part of the sentimental pro-
gramme to secure commerce with South
American states. It was nonsense to expect
| that any glamour could be thrown over the
subject in the way of sentiment that would
bring such trade; besides there was now be-
ing erected a magnificent library building
at cost of $G,OOO.OOO. and certain rooms in
that building might be dedicated for the
purpo indicated in the amendment. Haw-
ley concurred with everything Vest said. It
would be better to take section or branch
of the congressional library and
entitle it the Latin American Memorial
library. He offered an amendment to that
effect and appropriating $4,000 for the
purpose. The amendment went over with
out action. Spooner moved to increase the
limit of cost Of the public building at Mil
waukee by 100000; agreed to. The senate
bill to further suspend for ten years the
statute in relation to the Guano Islands
was taken from the calendar and passed;
also the disposal of the Pagoda Springs
military reservation in Colorado to actual
settlers under the homestead laws.
The house spent the day on District of
Columbia matters and nothing of import
ance was accomplished.

JOHN BURROUGHS, poet and naturalist,
has been visiting the blue grass region
OF Kentucky and has painted it in glow
ing colors for one of the magazines. In
an unguarded moment, however, he was
led into the observation that the men Of
that region did not equal its horses, and
going on to account for this fact, he re-
marked that the "beaten biscuit" found
on the Kentucky tables was as hard as
the macadamized roads. This statement
has reused the Kentucky ire and the
Louisville Courier-J Journal comes to the
defense of that sacred article OF food
with an eloquence that would bring
tears to the eyes of dyspeptic. 1t
charges Mr.. Burroughs with being him
self addicted to the biscuit in its most
deadly form-the soda biscuit of New
England-an article of food that is held
by DR.. Holmes to account for the gloomy
theology of that section and the dyspeptic
condition of its people to this day. But
listen to this impassioned southerner:
We enter our protest agaist northern
crusade against the beaten biscuit. It is
the highest product of poetical imagina-
tion joined to culinary skill. White, flakey,
seductive, the appetite for it grows with
what it feeds upon. 1t invites, it positively
attracts, by power that is subtitle but ire
sistible, by some unexplained chemical af-
| finity, the sweetest finest, yellowest of but
ter, the pride of the Jersey herds and the
honey from the honeycombs. It babbles of
green fields; it whispers of growing wheat;
it tells of the sickle and the fail; it carries
it's own story of labor we'll done, from the
sowing of the seed to the touch which gives
it its dainty brown color, and eating such u
thing of beauty seems almost desecration.
How man raised on "locusts and wild
honey" like Burroughs, could fail to find
in this perfection of white bread, the very
form of food he has sought for years in
vain, passeth our understanding. The only
explanation we can suggest is that his di
gestion has been ruined, or his taste per-
verified by constant diet of the soda bis
cult of the north. A man raised on soda
biscuit-ring- streaked and striped. pulled,
crumbling, too "short," too long, too soft
too hard, compromise between a sponge
and bad pie crust-has necessarily lost the
power of discrimination.
This Indictment of one of the most
cherished institutions of New England
calls for defense from Mr.. Burroughs
and we await his rejoinder with interest

on politics to representative of The Ex-

THAT the banquet given to you in New

Hill and signiied that you had tacitly
agreed to do what you could toward send

tional convention pledged to him for the

significance whatever. When l was in New

I'm my opinion, Cleveland is. Public
sentiment in his favor overshadows all else,
and it appears to me browns the chances of
all others who have been spoken of. think
that Governor Hill, through his position
and by the use OF pOlltlcal metnOOS, could
secure the delegation from New York state,
if he SO desired, but it seems to be the opin-
ion everywhere that Cleveland will be the
nominee"

HOW THEY VIEW IT.

It makes little difference what laws
may be passed it those charged with
their execution are not in favor of them.
Such, we predict, will be our experience
with the silver bill. The friends of free
coinage, who think they have secured
great concession because law permit
ting tho coinage of 100000 ounces Of
silver . month has been enacted, will do
we'll to keep their eye on Secretary
William Window, gold bug. 1t is fact
worthy OF notice that the gold standard
newspapers Of the east all accept the
bill as satisfactory compromise. They
know the potency Of the secretary of the
treasury in executing it's provisions &C
cording to his own interpretations. The
New York Times thus forecasts it's
operations:
From about the middle of August the
treasury Of the United States will take all
the silver offered to it at what the secretary
finds to be the market price up to the limit
Of ,50O, COO ounces month. For the pay
ment of this there will be issued certificates,
which will be a legal tender for all debts,
public and private, unless otherwise ex-
prsssly provided for in the contract, and
which will be redeemable in coin and must
be reissued whenever they come into the
Treasury. If these notes are offered on de-
posit in the banks the banks need not re-
ceivs them, but they undoubtedly will, and
when they are thus received they may be
held as part of the legal reserve required
of the national banks. Practically, under
the terms of the law, the secretary of the
treasury is bound to redeem these notes in
gold when any one wants gold, 80 long as
he can, and, inferentially, he is authorized
to sell bonds to obtain the gold. The COM
pulsory coinage of silver dollars, under the
old law, ceases when this bill goes into
operation, and the secretary is only re-
quired to coin 100000 month until next
July, and after that to coin only SO much as
may be necessary to meet redemptions.
Mr.. Bland, the steadfass champion OF
free coinage, took nearly the same view
OF the measure in his speech in the
house on Friday. He declared that the
bill surrendered every principle of hi.
metallism. It surrendered free coinage
