bossism. provided the president would
select "boSs" satisfactory to them.
OF course there is nothing in this re-
port, although it has not been denied.
In this connection it is we'll enough to
state that If the president and his adj
viSers were to take the trouble to deny
all the rumOrS and absurd reports that
go out they would not have much time
for the consideration of either the work
of government or the disposition of the
patronage.
Blocked by Carlisle.
There will be no bonds issued by this
government as long as Hon. John Il.
Carlisle remains secretary of the treas
ury. This fact has already been pretty
well impressed on the New York bank
ers, and, as consequence, they have
taken violent dislike 10 the great Ken
tuckian. When Mr.. Carlisle took hold
of the treasury he made up his mind to
run the department without the advice
and assistance of the New York bank
ers. The fact that this is the first in
stance of the kind since 1861, makes 1t
so much more unpalatable to the bank
erS, who want bonds and are determined
to get them if il can be done.
That there is and has been con-
Spiracy on the part or some of the lead
ing bankers to force the issue of bonds
has all along been suspected, and the
course of Secretary Carlisle seems to in
dictate that he believes that there IS such
a conspiracy in existence. When, how
ever, the stock of free gold was about
wiped out, and the eonSpiratorS thought
they had succeeded. they were put 10

would call on the Sl00,000,000 reserve
if necessary and later that silver might
be the ''cOin" passed out for the re-
demptiOn OF treasury notes. These two
half-otficial announcements rather stag
gered the bankers in New York and a
wall was sent up to the effect that these
good friends of the treasury, the New
York bankers, had not been consulted
by Secretary Carlisle. The people may
now expect to be RECALLED with all sorts
of reports about the secretary of the
treasury, but they will do well to re-
member that he is running his depart
ment without the advice or assistance of
Wall street.
Behind the Twins.
The Washington OF today is very
different place from the struggling
country village of thirty years ago,
and in many respects it is handsome
and attractive city, but it by no means
juStIfieS the extravaganza descriptions
so often published and given by WIS.,
ltors. Its paved streets, handsome but
rather diminutive parks, statues and
public buildings are worthy of note, but
this completes the list. There are no
residence streets to compare with Sum-
nit, Dayton, Holly, Portland or Mar
shall avenues in St. Paul, and the city
IS so planned that no such delight
full streets will be found for
long time to come. A great deal
has been written regarding tn
beautiful residences Of the national capt.
tal-well, they do not exist. There is
not mansion in Washington to COM
pare with President HIPS castle in st.
Paul or Senator Washburn'S residence
in Minneapolis, and when it comes to
business buildings, Washington is be-
hind Duluth. Seven and eight-StOry
buildings are scarce, and the few that
can be found are cheap-looking struc-
lures. Hotels are numerous, but the
Ryan and the West are far ahead of the
best to be found. Aside from the public
buildings, Washington has nothing to
cause any one to rave about, and least
of all, a resident of the Twin Cities of
Minnesota.
Drew the Wrong Straw.
The presence of Gen. George L.
Becker, of st. Paul. in the national cap
ital the past week, recalls an incident
in the early history of the state that is
probably known only to small portion
of the Minnesotans Of the present day.
When Minnesota was admitted it was
expected that she would be given three
members of the lower house of congress
and at the election preceding her ad-
mission, each party nominated three
candidates. The Democrats, Gen.
Becker, Hon. j. NJ. Cavenaugh, and w.
w. Phelps were elected by small ma
jOrties and appeared in Washington to
