Atg. II, 1890.
The democrats have discovered a |
new cause for abusing Mr.. Blaine.
This time it is because the state de-
partment refuses to make public the
contents of the dispatches received |
from the u. S. Minister to Guatama-
la relating to the war between that
country and Salvador. 1t is known
that Mr.. Blaine is doing his best to
bring about a satisfactory peace be-
tween the belligerents, and the indi-
cations are that he will be successful.
OF course it is nonsense to expect
that any secretary of state would be
willing to have such dispatches pub
lished while the negotiations were
still in progress; but that does not
prevent the democrats kicking.
Things are beginning to look like
business in the senate. The federal
election bill, as modified by the com
mittee on elections. has been report
ed and placed on the calendar and
Senator Hoar has offered the resolu-
ton, which was some time ago en-
dorsed by the republican caucus, pro-
viding for a change in the rules en-
abling the majority to cut off debate
upon any measure after reasonable
time has been consumed in debate.
The adoption of this resolution is
certain; only one republican-Mr.
Teller-has openly announced his in
tention to vote against it, though
there is a probability that two or
possibly three other republicans may
vote with the democrats against
it; the adoption of this res
olution will mean that the federal
election bill will be passed.
Secretary Blaine has written a
friend here protesting in vigorous
language against the attempts in
certain quarters to make it appear
that he is unfriendly to Speaker Reed,
and, what is more important, stating
that should Mr.. Reed receive the
nomination in '92, he will gladly
take the stump for him. This is no
surprise to the close friends of either
of these eminent gentlemen, but it
probably will be to many other peo-
pie, owing to the persistently circu-
lated stories of bad feelings between
them. 1t is probable that Mr.. Blaine
will show his friendship for the
Speaker before '92, by making one
or more speeches for him in his dis
trct during the congressional cam
paign.
Half of Washington, officially
speaking, has gone to Boston to take
part in the annual encampment of
the @. A. r. The president and
Secretaries Blaine, Rusk and Noble
are there. 1t was thought last week
that the House would take a recess
from to-day until Thursday for the
purpose of allowing tue members to
90, but in view of the mass of i'm
portant business on hand, the re-
publican leaders refused to agree TO
it; but a great many of the members
went any way, and it will not be sur
prising if there is no quorum on hand
more than once this week.
If congress persists, as now seems
probable in the declared intention OF
not providing for the erection of
new building for the government
printing office at this session, it Is
likely that something of nature not
entirely agreeable will be heard from
the Labor organizations of the coun
try, who sympathize with the 1900
people compelled to work in the pres
ent dangerous rookery.
The sad story told by the presi
, dents message to congress recon
mending that the balance of 10000
5 appropriated for the relief of the suf

' poor and suffering people of Oklaho
