WASHINGTON LETTER.
Correspondent.

From Our Regular Correspondent.
WASHINGTON, May s, 1S91.-Senator
Stewards familiar Santa Claus beard
was the beacon by which Isteered today
at the capital until he was cornered in
a committee room. The Senator is Il
pretty good Farmers Alliance nan on
at least two very important questions,
the tariff and the free coinage OF silver,
and he insists most vehemently hat no
party can win next year that does not
put a free coinage plank in its platform.
His pet aversions among the possible
candidates are Messrs Harrison and
Cleveland, and he thinks if they would be
the nominees Of their respective parties
that a third candidate on a free coinage
platform would be elected.
The Senator proposes using every
opportunity which presents itself dur
ing the coming session OF congress-, to
push through a free coinage bill, and he
thinks the probabilities favor the passage
OF the bill, but he has little hope OF it's
/. becoming a law on account OF the Pres
idential veto; but it is evident that he
has not entirely abandoned hope OF con-
verting Mr.. harrison, not withstanding
that gentleman's recent remarks on the
subject.
Something important is going on be-
tween Mr.. Blaine and the British min
lister, but no one seems to know precise
ly what it is, further than thatit relates
to Behring sea matters. They are both
at present in New York, where they can
confer without exciting the notice that
it would here. From the best 1nforma-
ton obtainable it is believed that an
agreement between the United States
and England, which may possibly in
clude Russia, will shortly be announced
that will put an end to the killing OF
seals in Behring sea for this season GER
tainly, ind possibly until the whole
question at issue between the govern
ments shall have been decided by arbi-
tration or otherwise. 1t is known that
the Treasury departments waiting upon
Mr.. Blaine's decision to issue orders
to the commanders Of the revenue cut
tiers, now on the Pacific coast, for their
guidance during the coming sealing
season.

one route mentioned the Dark canyon

it's shortness. 1t would seem, to even a
casual observer, that the southern rout
while always the most practical, in the
light OF recent developments is the only
one that should be considered. In the
first place the survey is over the mos1

Secondly this survey runs very near tn

Look back to the time Of your fathers
(says the politician who would pacify
the farmer)." They had no sulky plows
ridingcultivators, mowers, self binders
modern threshing machines or spring
wagons, everything in those days was
done by hand power"
IT'S true farming a be done much
more easily in these days, but a ques-
ton to these would-be economist. With
all this machinery which should enable
one man to do the work OF five at least
calculation, why do our farmers OF to-
day have to work as long hours rs did
their fathers? And why are they more
in debt than their fathers?
