WASHINGTON LETTER.

WASHINGTON, Nov. q, 1898,
From Our Regular Correspondent
Mr.. Cleveland's determination
to combine in his own person the
functions of both the Legislative
and executive branches of the
government was never more plain
ly shown than by the new tariff
bill, which is a far more radical
measure than it was generally ex-
pected to be. Mr.. Cleveland has
actually compelled democratic
members of the House Ways and
Means committee to vote to put
articles on the free list against
the protest of ta.eir democratic
constituents and with the full
knowledge that such action would
bring want to many people In
their districts and states. This
may seem strong assertion, but
it is not exaggerated in the slight
est degree. How has Mr.. Cleve-
land obtained sufficient control
oyer democratic members of the
House to compel them to vote
away the welfare of their friends
and constituents? The answer Ii
easy. He has done it by the use
of patronage and promises; he
has given them petty offices for
their personal followers and has
promised them that if they fail to
get renominated and elected to
the Fifty Fourth Congress he
will provide for them personally
chairman Wilson, of the commit
tee on Ways and Means, who has
betrayed two of the greatest in
dustries of West Virginia, by al
lowing coal and iron ore to be
placed on the free list, is under
stood to have been promised a
lifetime position on the bench of
the u. Circuit or District Court
as reward for his treachery to
the interests of his State and peo-
pie. The same policy is to be
carried out to get votes for the
Cleveland tariff lit is misno-
mer to call 1t by anybody else's
name-in the House, and will
probably succeed as well as it has
with the committee.
But when it comes to the Senate
those tactics will not necessarily
succeed. The average Senator is
always more independent than
Member of the House. His term
is six years and, if he has lately
been elected, will extend beyond
that of the President, so that he
does not feel that he has any need
of being taken care of" by the
administration in case his action
or vote is unsatisfactory to his |
constituents. There Is not the
slightest expectation that the |
Senate will pass the tariff bill as
it is now, even if Mr.. Cleveland |
succeeds 10 his announced lnten-
tion to railroad it through the
House, although, looking at the |
matter from a purely political
standpoint, it would be the best
hing that could happen for the
republican party for It to become
q law just as it now is, butt would
be great hardship on the wage
sarners of the country; conse-
luently republicans will try to
1efeat it, or in any event to have
{ amended in many respects.
No news is expected from
Hawaii, unless it be secured by

erprising news paper, before De.

would very gladly crawl out of the
unpleasant hole in which it finds i
tseif, but as it cannot its mem

Secretary LESSEN, in reply to a letter
making inquiry as to the legality of the
corporation of bond investment compa-
MES, has written a letter severely de-
nouncing such companies. He says they
are in the nature of lotteries and are
wholly fraudulent. The cupreme court,
he says, will he asked to declare their
charters null and void at the coming term
of court on quo warranto proceedings to
be brought by the attorney general. The
preceding attorney general held that the
companies should be granted charters.
The present attorney general holds that
they are of a fraudulent character, and
must be wiped out of existence.

Embarrassment Following the
Brides Acknowledgements.
The natural inference was that they
were n newly-married couple.
The motherly old lady in lace cap
and gold eyeglasses who sat with them
at the table Of an uptown hotel at din
ner last evening Enthusiastically shared
in the inference, says the Washington
Star. She bestowed upon them several
benign smiles, and finally said:
ION your honeymoon, / presume? i
remember mine very well, though IL
was a long time ago"
The bride cast her eyes down upon
the plate, but the bridegroom looked
up and bluffed, with well-affected non-
chalance:
"Oh. no; we've been married a long
time"
The old lady's eyes twinkled behind
ner glasses, the bride blushed a trihe
and the bridegroom burned his mouth
with hot cafe au lait.
There was silence for a few mo-
ments, and then the bride said to hef
dear one:
."Win you have some olives, George?"
mo, Gwndolen, darling, 1 don't like
olives"
oh murmercd the bride, confused,
ly, 1T takes longer than a week, you
know, George, dear, to learn ones
tastes
Then they both shot swift, shame
faced glances at the Old lady. The
brides face became ve9y red and her
eyes agali sought her plate. The
bridegroom burned mis- mouth for the
second time, while the old lady's eyes
twinkled mcrrily.

Washington, Aug. 14.-Congress has
se''ied down to debate with a degree Of
cNieoltlon limos unknown in its history
anu with an apparent determination to
40 something. Fortunately for the ma
Jorlty OF the senate the action of the
mouse on the silver question relieved them
from the necessity of speedy and perhaps
hFadNlsed action. The silver question is
nol likely To figure in a formal way In

quarters to I'LL in the week by the dis
clssion of the Lee-Mantle senatorial cleo
'ioh case, which is in a privileged po-
Sition ara can be cflled upon at any time
10 the displacement of other business.
The programme in the house has been
uehnltely fixed by the addition of the
orcer introduced Friday by Representa-
tive Bland. The time will be devoted
exclusively to the consideration of the
silver question under the rules of the
last house governing general debate.
notwithstanding the apparent lack Of
interest in the discussion manifested by
members Saturday, the number of app
plictnts for recognition already on the
speakers list d. nonstrates that the Pc
Rod allotted to the debate--eleven days
under the general rules and three days
under the fvs-minute lule-will be all
occupied. There are between ninety and
a hundred names enrolled by the speaker,
the great majority of whom probably ex-
pect to talk the full hour allowed by the
rrlc. There Gre a number, however, who
have stipulated a specified time, generally
twenty minutes or half an hour. It gem
orally appears that the time for debate
vii! be too short to accommodate those
who wish to speak. Night sessions will
lengthen the period, but this, it is thought,
will not become necessary before next
week.
