WASHINGTON LETTER.
WASHINGTON, d. G. |
March t7th, 1890.

The Republicans, speak conf
dently of the Presidents admins
tration thus far, and say it is chat
acte1ized by moderation, prudence
and progress. They congratulate
themselves that they have the
right men in the right places, and
that the fewest possible mistakes
have been in filling them. They
claim that it is no evidence of un-
due haste to remove Democrats
from Office as fast as they can find
suitable Republicans to fill them,
that this is but another evidence
of the Grand Old Parties loyalty
to it's friends, and that the best
evidence of their respect for the
Civil Service law is found in the
fact that it was a Republican
House that instituted and conclud-
ed the investigation, regardless of
what it would disclose or who ex-
pose.
The Blair Educational Bill has

During the morning hours, and

quorum on the first roll call, but
no sooner does it become another
Senator's turn to make a speech
on the Blair Educational Bill than
the seats are rapidly vacated for
the more desirable committee
rooms, and those who remain wear
a look as if they did so to keep up
appearances merely, or possibly
under promise previously exacted
to remain. Senator Fry on Thurs
day last grew impatient at the de-
lay and made sharp speech
against such a waste of valuable
time.

might have been much greater
Had the wind been stronger and
blowing from a different direction
many thousands of dollars would
have been added to the loss, and
the burden have fallen on those
less unable to sustain it.
This is not a time to criticise, or

cient safeguards against the day
of evil. But it has been abundant
ly demonstrated that fire COM
pany can not do much toward put
ting out fire by pumping from a
well filled with air instead of wa
ter. The losses of last Saturday
morning, above the insurance,
would furnish our city with one cf
the finest systems of water works
in the country, and sustained
them for long time to come. But
our city was not only without Wa
ter works, but was also without
even respectable well, and that,
too, where it might. by this means

If the lesson taught by our

furnish our city with supply of
water that can be depended upon
when we have another visitation

Items From The Capital.

The Committees on Appropria-
tions and Public Buildings and
grounds in the House got into a
tangle last week, when a large
number of bills for public build
ings were reported by the latter
committee for passage. Mr.. Can
non, chairman of the Appropria-
tions Committee, moved to strike
out the appropriations as fast as
the bills were called, which under
the new rules he was entitled to
do. This angered Congressman
whose Districts happened to be
benefited by the appropriations in
question, and they ara watching
the first opportunity to retaliate.
The Chicago people have been

noticed, however, that the enter
