WASHINGTON LETTER.

WASHINGTON, June. 5. 1S93.-The
secret is out. If indeed, it ever could
have been truly called secret. Grover
Cleveland wants to be a Presidential
candidate for the fourth time, and his
worshipers are already advancing the
argument that the unwritten law
against a third term for any President
does not apply to him, because his
first and second terms were not conse-
cutive. Surely this Cleveland worship
must be disease, for men whose other
acts are those of sane people seem to
lose their wits entirely when his name
is mentioned; they appear to accept his
much talked of "consecration" as
fact which it is little short of treason
to attempt to argue against. You
may think this but a bit of summer
madness, and SO it may be, but can
assure you that it isn't your correspon-
dent who is moon-struck. He is a
candidate, and every member Of his
cabinet, with the possible exception of
Gresham and Carlisle, both of whom
have hopes of theif own to nurse, is
committed to his candidacy. He has
dominated the Democratic party SO
long that he feels certain of getting
the nomination again. 1t will then be
left with the people to decide whether
he shall break down all precedents and
upset cherished tradition by being
again elected.

Secretary Carlisle has been very
harsh,y criticised for one act of his,
and he deserves it, too. He has de-
manded The resignation of Major M. j.
Bunnell, of New York, chief of a
division in the Treasury Department.
Under ordinary circumstances the
average Republican has had no COM
plaint to make because of the forced
resignation Of Republicans in the de-
part mems; it was no more than they
expected and no more than has always
taken place after every change of ad-
ministration. But this is an extra
ordinary circumstance; hence the ad-
verse criticism. Major Bunnell was a
gallant Union soldier and lost both of
bis legs in action. Some years ago he
had position under the Senate, but it
being very paint Il to him to move
around be was made chief of a division
in the Treasury, position he held dur
ling Cleveland's first administration.
This making war upon a crippled
soldier certainly is not creditabie to
either Secretary Carlisle or the admin.
istration. and is strongly at variance
with these words from Mr.. Cleveland's
last letter of acceptance: 1.-The Ameri-
can people are generous and grateful,
and they have impressed these char.
acteristics upon their government.
Therefore all patriotic and just citizens
must commend liberal consideration
for our worthy veteran soldiers. II
compelling the resignation of worthy
veteran who gave his legs to his coun.
try in its hour Of need be specimen
of Mr. Cleveland's idea of being "gen-
erous and grateful" and Of s'liberal
consideration for our worthy veteran
soldiers" then God help the wounded
veterans whose families are dependent
upon salaries paid by the Government.

The gold reserve is again source of
worry to the administration, being
to-day lower than ever and with all tie
indications pointing to still further re-
duction. The cabinet held a long ses-
sion to-day, devoting its entire time to
this matter, but nothing official was
given out, for the best of reasons, no
conclusion having been reached as TO
what should be done. The sentiment
of the .binet is still against an issue

DEATH ON THE PALE HORSE.

The Revival Services Last Night at
Simpson Church.
The largest audience of the week
gathered last night in Simpson taberna-
Gle. The singing was hearty, the praying
was earnest and the speaking was vigor-
GUS. Major Ormsby of Iowa sang the
invitation, Will You Be Saved Tonight,
with telling effect; and the scriptures
were read by Evangelist Davidge Pag e.
Miss Updergraf sang melting solo,
attaching the chorus, Steal Away to
Jesus, which she rendered with wonder
full effect. She has most beautiful
voice, the sweetness OF which charmed
the vast throng.
The Rev. Isaac Naylor preached, TAX
ing as his subject Death on the Pale
Horse. This was undoubtedly the most
powerful appeal he has yet delivered,
and his audience listened with the deep.
est attention to his energetic discourse.
He pictured most wildly the certainty
of death, and urged his hearers to be
prepared for it. The altar service was
then entered upon, the communion rails
being crowded with penitents.
There will be no meetings today. To-
morrow Sunday the Quaker evangelist
will preach in the morning and Evan
gelist Isaac Naylor at night.

living issue here by the passage of the

an election on March 2lst to vote on the
question of bonding the town for $40. 900
for the purpose of building sewers.
There is not single inhabitant but
what believes that sewers OF some kind
are necessity, If not now, in the inn
many are, Where should the main sewer
run? What about constructing laterala ?
The size, etc., of the sewers and the
question OF water supply are all be-

What the outcome of all the talk will

having two-thirds vote.

THAT DOUBLE TRACK.

The Board of Public Works Sit in Judg-
ment Thereon.
The board Of public works met at 2 p.
m. Also present Councilman Rhodes
and Innes.
The Alameda street ordinance came up
for consideration. The matter of occupy
ngg lannon's lane came up, when
it was said that if any lane or cross
street was occupied by the company it
would have to pay for the same and ex-
pected to do 90.
Mr.. R. J. Collins said that if the road
went along lannon's lane they would
dication were that they were about to do
80. The supreme court had already de-
cided that it was her property.
Mr.. Muir said the company had title
to that lane, having purchased the same
of ex-Councilman Afford. He called on
Mr.. Afford to corroborate what he said.
Mr.. Afford said the litigation had been
for the purpose of preventing Mrs. Han
non from closing him up. The decisions
of the courts practically enjoined any
body from closing such lane.
Mr.. Lunt said he could not see where
in Mrs. Harmon was damaged; that she
had frontage of 1000 feet on Orange ave-
nue. and that it was impossible to close
her out of her right of egress. II the
worst came to the worst the company
could move Mrs. lannon's house to an
other portion of her land.
Mrs. Hannon-You could move my
house and my barns, but how could you
move my well?
Mr.. Strohm-We have heard all we
want on the question of this lane. We
are now prepared to hear other matters
of fact in connection with this PROPOSE
ton.
Mr.. Muir--This property is not pub
lie highway, gentlemen, it belongs to
the Southern Pacific company, who have
bought and paid for it.
Mr.. McGarry wanted to know ii the
company desired to establish station
at Ninth street, and if the prohibitory
rate of 10 cents per passenger was to be
maintained in the event OF such station
being erected?
Mr.. Muir said that the 15.cent rate
was prohibitory, and made 90 on pur.
pose. 1t cost time to stop and start
trains and, in matters of this sort, time
was money.
There being no more testimony or ar
gument on either side, the board took
the matter under edvisement Ito report
on Saturday, and the meeting then ad-
| iourned,
