WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. g.
Politicians of all parties are
exercising their prophets pow
ers as to the makeup of Cieve
lands cabinet. AS Kentucky
aspirants are now figuring on
their chances to succeed Mr..
Carlisle in the Senate, it is
thought he will be the next
Secretary of the Treasury. In
speaking of Carlisle's chance
for the Treasury portfolio, Con-
gresham Dickerson, OF Ken
lucky, said:
The East is fearful of the
financial theories and ideas OF
the West. 1t would be good
thing to have Mr.. Carlisle as
Secretary to practically demon
strate to the country that a West
ern man can be as conservative,
as able, and as capable as man
selected directly from Wall
street. 1t will be good object
lesson for the moneyed men OF
the East, and I should like to
see Mr.. Carlisle at the head of
the department.
Continuing, Mr.. Dickerson
said:
England is far more interested
just now in learning who will
be Secretary of the Treasury,
than she is in who will be Secre-
of State.
Then we are to guess that the
next Secretary of the Treasury
will be, first of all, a comforter
for Wall street, and the ''mon-
eyed men of the East He will
be expected, also to appease the
anxiety Of Endgland. Mr.. Car
Isle can do all this, no doubt,
and more too; he can pose as a
friend of the people.
It is understood here, that Mr..
Cleveland will not call an extra
session of Congress before next
fall; and not then, unless the
condition OF the Treasury de-
nands it. In such event, the
question arises, what would be
the method of replenishing. the
Treasury? Would the tariff be
increased? Would internal reve-
nues be increased? Would an
income tax be levied, or would
Government bonds be sold? Mr..
Cleveland will surely recon-
mend the issuance of bonds.
When we reach this emergency
it will be an opportune time for
the reform organizations Of the
country to make themselves
heard in demanding a graduated
income tax.
Your readers should prepare
themselves to enter a vigorous
protest against the passage of
the Nicaragua canal bill. Every
indication points to the favorable
consideration of this measure bv
leading lights of both old par
ties.
The plan will be to have the
government lend it's cradit or is
sue its bonds to further the
scheme, which will be left abso-
lutely in the hands of private
manipulators. The most power
full lobby ever concentrated at
the Capitol will be here to Sc
cure the passage Of this bill. Let
the people be On the alert with
their protests.
An early fight may be expec-
ted IN this session over the Nc
Pherson resolution to suspend
the operation of the Sherman
act OF 1890, which authorized the
purchase by the government of
100000 ounces of silver each
month. Representative Pierce.
OF tennessee, who, with Mr..
Bland, led the fight for free sill
yer, declares his purpose to lead
a hlllbuster if necessary to de-
feat the consideration of the res
olutlon in the House. Such he
rolc efforts may postpone action
until the next Congress.
Senator Allison, one of the
members of the international
Monetary Conference from the
United States, has returned. and
declares his purpose to resign,
giving as his reason that Claya,
