WASHINGTON CITY,

"Does the President desire re-
domination ?" This question may
sound strange to some people, but
it was seriously asked by a Repub-
lican Senator of four other Republic
can Senators, two OF whom have
themselves been prominently men,
toned in this and other President
al years as available candidates,
and it brought out the fact that al
though each of the five constantly
meet Mr. Harrison and discuss pO-
litical affairs with him, not one of
them had ever heard him say one
single word that could be construct
ed as expressing a desire to be nom
mated. they were all of the opin-
on that the only ground that exists
for surprising that the president
does wish denomination is that he
has not said that he did not. The
conversation in question was pri-
waite, which precludes the use of
names.
The Senate cOmmCe ere committee
after mature deliberation concludes
that the river and harb0r bill was
too large and proceeded to cut off
more than two million dollars,
making the reduction general and
uniforms is nearly all of the items Of
the bill.
Secretary Foster has approved Of
the idea of coming $l0,000,000 in
silver half-dollars with a special
design commemorative of the
Worlds Fair, and has promised to
lend his cid in securing the neces-
sary Congressional legislation.
The Democrats in Congress daily
grow more uncertain on the Presi-
DENTAL question. They now coDsid-
er that l1ill is no longer even a
possibility, and regard Cleveland
as possibility, but decline to con-
csde the probability of his nomina-
tion in the face of HIPS active OPP
position. Many of them confess
that they know not which way to
turn for candidate,
Senator Allison, chairman Of the
Senate committee on appropria-
tons, and one of the very best
authorities on public business, gave
the calamity walters of the Mills
stripe Touchdown blow when, in
defense of the amendments at.
tached to the Naval appropriation
bill by the Senate committee, he
told the Senate that instead OF
being bankrupt at The close Of the
present financial year the [. S
Treasury would have after meeting
all legal demands surplus of $50
100000. Referring to the charge sc
often made By Democrats of the
extravaganza of the fixed appro
priations under laws enacted by
Republicans, Senator Allison asked
tba Democratic Senators to name
what laws they would like to re
peal SO as to reduce the fixed ap
preparation. Senator Vest replied
that the Democrats would like &c
repea! the postal subsidy and tn,
SUGAR bounty laws. Mr.. Allison
smiled, as we'll as he might. whel
he saw that he had so neatly trap
ped the Democrats, and turning
to Mr.. Vest said "The repeal oi
those two laws would save abOu
sS.00O.000, SO the country is asked
to elect a Democratic Senate il
order that the sugar bounty ant
the postal subsidy laws may be re
pealed."
Senator Villas, of Wisconsin ha

feat of the Senate amendments t.
the Naval bill he said; "The ide;
ot England'S going to war with the
United States in this age of civiliza

PROSPEROUS. If he lives hong he will
probably change his mind. Tn,

civilization and good sense" t
protect it from England may fairl,
be considered as being on the roat
to ruin.
