W WASHIAGTON LETTER, J
From our regular correspondent.
w ashington, May, 4th 1891.

Washington, May, 4th 1891.
Secretary Fosters recent alleged
free and frank discussion Of the condi-
tion Of the Treasury Of the United
States is the forerunner of some re-
publican juggling with the figures
purporting to represent the condition
Of The. Treasury that will probably
take place as soon as Mr.. Harrison
returns to Washington, that is, in the
next statement of the public debt,
which will be made public uJune l..
Mr.. Faster proposes to change the
form of that statement, for the evident
purpose Of showing fictitious amount
of cash available. 1t will not be the
frst time by many that the condition
of the Treasury department. has been
falsified by official figures. Old timers
will recall the Congressional investi-
cation which brought out the fact that
during one year, 1870 / think, nine OF
the Treasury ledgers showed 2,527
erasures and that several entire leaves
were cut out OF two ledgers, all caused
by The efforts to make the books accord
with the falsiGed statements prepared
10 mystify the public. I shouldn't t
wonder il the House of the Fifty-sec-
ond Congress didn't do little investi-
eating OF Mr.. Fosters figures,
Tue Treasury department offers to
send all the small silver that the banks
in any section OF the country will take.
free of carriage, which, if the banks
take any considerable quantity, will be
mighty fat thing for the United
States express company, of which OK
senator ("me too') Tom Platt, Of
New York, is the controlling spirit.
Perhaps Mr.. Foster did not thiak OF
bensfitting the New York republican
boss when he hatched up this scheme.
and then again perhaps he did. This
mixing OF business and politics is q
striking trait of the republican party.
This same thing, mixing business
and politics has brought about disa-
greoment between Secretaries Blaine
and Foster. Mr.. Blaine doesn't want
the catching of seals stopped for a.
year. because his personal friends. in
Guiding Steve Elkins, have invested
their money in the North American
Fur Company, which is the present
owner Of the sealing privileges in
Behring Sea, and Mr.. Foster, who be-
lieves that seals are about to be exter-
minated, would like to have it stopped.
In the mean time the British Minister
is insisting that Mr.. Blaine do some
thing aeinite. Taken altogether til )

It has been urged by members OF the
Executive Committee and others whose

that the aub-treasury measure, which
q number OF gentlemen prominent in

adoption or rejection by political

sition upon which its members widely
differ it is undeniable that thoro
should be mature and exhaustive

before 10 o'clock. There were 101 couples
in line. The dancing was continued until

the strains of "Home, Sweet Home" from
the orchestra were heard only with regret.
Everyone had thoroughly good, time and
showed that they were by the hearty man
ner of their appreciation. A nicer crowd
for an event of the kind would be hard to
select anywhere than the one which was
present. About thirty came down from
