WASHINGTON LETTER.
WASHINGTON, Aug. l4,lS93.

W 'NA'AAA->oAO-N, EAuS' 1siOcc.
Democrats in congress do not
take kindly to Mr.. Cleveland's de-
parture. They do not hesitate to
say that 1t was as much his duty
to stay here and help his party to
reach a decision on the silver ques-
ton as it is the duty of members
of congress to stay. Before leav-
ing Mr.. Cleveland spoke his mind
freely to several prominent mem
bers of his party. He told them,
among other things, that unless
something unexpected occurred to
make him change his mind he did
not intend making any more ap-
pointments until congress had
acted upon the silver question,
and that he did not intend to stay
in Washington to listen to the
men who are more anxious 10 get
few appointments for their
friends than to relieve the finan
cial distress of the country.
Aside from Mr.. Cleveland's dis
gust at the reception given his
message by his party in congress,
his bad health and his natural de-
sire to be near his wife just now,
there was another weighty reason
for his departure, which can be
fully appreciated by every proud
man. From the time he arrived
until his departure he was almost
completely ignored by the sena-
tors Of his party, less than half a
dozen of them having paid him
the courtesy of even formal call
This was so different from what he
had been led to expect by those
who have been purposely misrep-
resenting things to him that he
was at first furious, and later hu.
inflated. Those senators whom
he saw carried him no balm tol
his wounded pride, as they were
practically unanimous in the be-
lief that it will be impossible tc
get bill for the repeal Of the sill
yer law through the senate, unless
it embOdies a substitute that meets
the approval of the conservative
silver men in that body. Truly
Mr.. Cleveland had reasons enough
for leaving Washington in a hurry
although none of them were suffi
cient to excuse his departure.
So far the silver fight in tho
house has been mostly between
democrats, although several re
publicans, among them Grosvenor
of Ohio, and Henderson, of Iowa
gave Representative Harter, O
) Ohio, a few disagreeable minutes
, when he asserted that the condi
ton of the workingman in England
, was as much superior to the con
dition of the workingman in Ohio

country out Of a bad situation
But the portion of his speech tina
was the most irritating to the sill

felt it, there appeared a few
small red spots on my breast,
and it kept on spreading
slowly. 1t started the same

shoulders. A few days after
the spots turned gray, and
began itching. Small scales
would fall off, so it continued

constructor, a rattle snake, and
copperhead, all rolled into one in
the shape Of a financial system"
1t is plain to be seen that the
speeches in the house are for home
consumption. Since the first day
there has not been Il quorum pres
ent, and the same condition is eX-
pected to continue during the four
teen days the debate is to last.
No votes will be changed, and if
the votes were taken now instead
of at the close of the debate the
resalt would be the same,
The senate has done nothing,
and it is understood that at the
last meeting of the finance com
mittee the silver men who control
that committee, made it plain that
no bill would be reported from the
committee for the repeal Of the
Sherman lew, without a substitute
chat would be satisfactory to the
silver men. A committee of dem
ocratic senators is now engaged in
trying to bring about a compro-
mise. Republican senators are
waiting to see what the democrats
propose doing.
Representative Breckinridge, of
Kentucky, has become involved in
a very ugly scandal, by the filing
of a suit against him for $4,000
by Madaline V. Pollard, for breach
of promise of marriage. She
charges that he seduced her when
she was seventeen years old and a
student at Wesleyan Female college
at Cincinnati, and says she had
two children of whom he was the
father, and that after his wife's
death, in 1892, he promised to
marry her, but postponed it from
time to time, meanwhile contlnu-
ing his relations with her; and
that OH the 18th of July, 1898,
| he married another woman.
Breckenridge brought Miss Pollard
to Washington and secured her a
government position, from which
she was dismissed for having pub.
lcly made disgraceful remarks
, about Gen. Sherman at the time
of his death. Mr.. Breckinrid &c
| has his bride here now. Nice state
OF affairs for bride to be called
upon to contemplate before the
end of her honeymoon. isn't it?
The Eugene Guard thinks that
if Governor Pennoyer would cal
a special session and club the
members into passing a law to
to curb extortionate freight rates
he would deserve the gratitude oI
the people. Some members
would be in favor of an extra ses
sion if it could be known in ad
vance that the legislature would
repeal the laws authorizing the
jute mill and soldiers home appro.
priations. Others would want the
mortgage tax law re enacted, SO
there is small hope that the ses
sion would be short one.

THE COLUMBIAN EXPOSITION.

There Is, OF course. plenty to see. but il is
believed by competent observers that it
will DC 1T least month before the exposi-
tion, as planned by the commission and

the exceptional severity of the weather
that has prevailed during the last month,
like the snowstorsn that struck the Middle
Nest on April - The labor trouble him

position console themselves by recalling
the fact that worlds fairs have always
been late, and that the Philadelphia Cen
tenniai. which did not open until May 10,
was not ready then.
II is true that the Centennial was not
in complete condition on the opening day,
hut it was very far in advance of the Chi
cage fair at the corresponding period. 1t

tion of 1883 was far from being in good
condition on opening day. The Eifel
tower. the chief attraction, was not fin.
ished until the end of the month. But the

only one-flth the area OF the Chicago
buildings. The New Orleans exposition
was in complete confusion until two
months after the opening time. The
Vienna exposition was postponed until
May 10. and then was in bad condition
when opened.
The foreigners are further ahead in the
matter of exhibit, than our own people.
