WASHINGTON LETTER.
hEom our regular Correspondence

W ASHtNGTON. Oct. 9Th, 1898.
President Clevelaud's motive in hay
ing all his callers state the nature of
their business to his private secretary
before begng admitted to his office
has been SO grossly misrepresnnted
that | present tie facts which follow !:
So much of the Presidents time has
been occupied in listening to the ap
peals of Congressman and other prn,u-
ineDt democrats for offices for their
friends that he has found it necessary
to stay mp the greater portion ofnear-
ly every night in order to perform his
more important duties. II order to
put a stop to this he determined TO
place the duty of choosing all officials
upon the members of his cabinet. he
accepting thei, recommendation is fl .
nal, and i'll order to save his own time,
as well as that of his callers. those who
call at the White House are required
to state the. nature of their business to
private secretary Thurber. If it be
about an appointment the new rule is
explained and they are referred to the
l2ember of the cabinet who has jurs
diction of the Office wanted, if about
public business they are at once taken
to the President. The change is pop
ular with Congressman and will strike
most people as being sensible one.
The most notable incidents of the
silver debate in the Senate this week
were the appeals made by Senators
Butler, OF South Carolina, and Black
burn of Kentucky, to the Senate to end
the controversy by compromise. Al
though compromise has been talked
about privately by Senators this is the
first time that it has been publicly ad
vocated on the floor of the Senate.
Senacor Vorhees still stands ontagainst
compromise and insists that the bill
for unconditional repeal can be passed.
Predictions are freely made that the
question will be disposed of next week,
but the same sort of predictions have
been made before and it still remains
undisposed of. The Senate is having
more or less difficulty now in keeping
| quorum, and if some agreement is
not soon reached on this silver ques-
tion it is doubtful whether quorum
can be kept here. The Senators are
tired of the debate, and there is ne
| way to force vote.
There is one Congressman-he's q
Tammany man. too-who is always
certain of Il warm welcome when he
calls at the White House, whether 1t
goes asking an appointment for {
friend or to discuss public matters
The reason is this: On the day tina

CHENIERE'S PRIEST TELLS
THE SAD STORY.

Rev. Father Grimeaux, the Roman
Catholic parish priest of Cheniere, ar
rived yesterday afternoon. He would
not have lett his parish were 1t not
for the fact that he was compelled TO
accompany his sister to New Orleans.
The reverend gentleman and his sis

Father Glimeaux gave the following
interesting detailed account of the de-
plorable events in his section

Bay in Mr. Benedict's
Yacht.

New YORK, June so. = President
Cleveland, accompanied by Secretary of
War Lamont. Mrs. Lamont and Miss
Lamont, arrived here at 1880 O'Clock
tonight over the Pennsylvania railroad.
Il have nothing at all to ray now,"
the president said. ~ have issued a
proclamation calling congress together
OIL Aug. Z. In that | have given my
reasons for doing SO, and that is all
there is to it,"
: When asked where he was going, the
president said he did not know; he
could not say whether he would remain
in town or not. With Col. Lamont
and DIR. Bryant, who met the
party, the president entered a coach
and drove on to the ferry boat
for Cortland street. Mrs. Lamont and
her daughter went over by tie boat aud
to their homes. On the boat Col. La
mont got out of the coach and talked
with the reporters. He said:
The president has called congress
together, and can do no more now. In
that the president has given his reasons
for doing So, and his views
on the situation. L am in
favor OF repeal OF the
Sherman law, and do not favor free
coinage as substitute, and the preSl-
dent holds the same opinion on that
matter as myself. There nave not been
any personal appeals TO him for
all early session. or opposition to
such from silver men, to speak of. Mr..
Cleveland" continued Secretary La
mont. ''is going directly on hoard Mr..
Benedict's yacht Oneida, which is wait
ing on the East river of Twenty-sixth

main in New York until Monday, per-
haps longer"
Col. Lamont said that he knew moth
ing of any midnight conference on the
Oneida between the president and New
York bankers. 1t was said that such a
conference was to be held, but Col.
Lamont denied it. He said that SO far
as he knew Secretary Carlisle was not

Fill of Cheap Money.

Conrier-Journal.
1t was away back in the seventies.
The winds of greenbackism blew a gale.
The waves of initiation ran mountains
high. In the West and South the rag
money idea, lashing the people into a
kind OF frenzy, swept all before it, eX-
cept the COurierJournat.
There were those connected with this
paper who knew thing or two. They
had not paid 500 for pair of boots, $40
for watermelon and So for a cocktail,
minus ice, without learning something
about cheap money and plenty of it.
They had actual experience of a cur
rency of which it could be truly said
that the more you possessed the poorer
you were off. But the people, particu-
larly the farmers of the West aud South,
were i'll debt. They had been picked as
bare as bone by the war. They were
being Dlucked to death by the tariff.
The country had not recovered the
shock of arms. Everybody was stagger-
ing under a load of taxation. except the
bondholderS, and the cry fer an IRE
deemable paper currency, implied by
the scheme to pay OFF the national debt
i'll green5acks, was long and loud.
In the vast Seething ocean Of poverty
and passion that rolled all about it, the
Courier-Journal stood like a rock. 1t
stood for the national credit and honor.
1t stood for sound, stable circulating
medium, expressed in gold and silver,
and paper cOnvertl BILE int coin on de-
mand without loss to the holder There
has stood all the time. There it stands
l Oday.
