WASHINGTON LETTER
POSTS Regular Correspondent
WASHINGTON, July "a, 1893.

w ASNISGTOS, July ~, 1919.
Editor Post:
Secretary Gresham must regard
his prospects for receiving the dem
ocratic nomination in. 1896 as well as
for being elected as unusually good,
or he would not have declined to ac-
ccpt All appointment to the Supreme
Court vacancy, which his friends say
he has done within the last few days.
Your correspondent is inclined to be-
licvc with the late Senator Carpenter
who once expressed the opinion that
no man had ever declined a seat on
the bench of the q. S. Supreme Court,
but even if he wasn't, this Gresham
story doesn't exactly dove-tail with
the one that came from similar
source a few days ago, saying that
he had been promised that he should
be the administration candidate for
President Now, one or the other of
these stories are wrong, and it
would not be surprising to find that
both are. If President Cleveland
had promised to make Secretary
Gresham the candidate Of his party
in 1896 what sense was there in his
rendering him the present vacancy
on the Supreme Court? There
would not be the slightest, unless the
President regretted the first promise
and sought to escape it by putting
Secretary Gresham on the bench.
The names of Secretary Carlisle
and Attorney General olney are also
mentioned by the gossips in connec-
ton with that Supreme Court vaean
cY. They havn't been offered the
place, but, according to aforesaid
gossipE, they would like 20 be. 1t
doesn't require any special knowledge
j to make that sort Of a statement.
There are probablya at least 100000

New YORK, July II, 1898.
To the Editor of the Post:


To the Editor of the Post:
Hot? Yes, tits hot And hot
is no name for it. We've had to
take it all the past week, and take
it straight" too, | mean the heat,
of course. It was too warm for any
thing else, and so that was utterly
out of the question. 1t is something
dreadful to the people who live in the
crowded and purely tenement portions
of the city. What? why the heat
l often wonder why it is that more
of them do not succumb to the grim
spectre-death. But be this as it is,
there is no getting round the fact
that last week was a regular "scorch-
err" as regards the weather.
A friend of mine told a good story
the other day in regard to this self
same heat. He was ali broken out
with the heat. and, in fact, utterly
disguised with himself, the weather
aud everything else under the sun,
for that matter. He said it put him
in mind of "the man who died and
went to heaven" and when he got
there, being most at the gate by St.
Peter. asked Of him how he felt, re
piled: II don't feel we'll. at all |
got my feet wet crossing over the riv-
er down here; broke one of my golden
wings coming up your slippery
stairs, and now, after I've got here,
my halo doesn't fit worth q d--r. : :

a CONTEMPORARY in referring to
the fright that seems recently to
have possessed SO many people in
different sections of the country, aud
caused them to do so many foolish
things in q financial way, that has
done more than anything else to him
der the steady progress of business,
says:
600 about your business as usual.
Conduct that business through your
bank as usual. Remember that the
so-called financial troubles arc most
ly fictitious, created by the talk of
the shallow and the fears of the ig-
norant. There is plenty Of money
in the country. With the restora-
ton of full confidence, which will
come in few months even to the
most timerous, we shall undoubtedly
enter upon season of exceptional
prosperity"
These words are true and oppor-
tune. Business in the South is fair
and wonld rapidly increase in
amount and value if such wise coun-
sells would prevail. The Louisville
& Nashville r. r., for instance, had
$600,000 more revenue this year than
it did in the same number Of months
last, and freight and passenger earn
ings are always an index of general
conditions other branches of business
There has not been single bank
failure in the State of Virginia; only
three in Tennessee; and six i'll Ken
lucky, one Of which has already re-
sumed. This is an excellent show
ing compared with what has hap
pcned in the West, where speculation
has been oyerdone, and makes evil
dent the fact that the South is broad
ly all right.
Now, if every section of the Union
would still this foolish clamor OF
panic and attend to business as
strictly as does Big Stone Gap, sue
cess would come to every place. Big
Stone Gap wants the world to know
that every enterprise that she has
ever started is going today-her fur
mace, planning mill, wooden mill, OIL
whatever else she may have, which
perhaps, no other new place IN the
South can say There are possibly
one dwelling and few stores empty
which is remarkable when so many
other towns show so much larger pro-
portions of buildings standing idle.
Preparations are working for the
erection of OF a SZ0.UOU school build
ing, and in general way, this town
is doing all that 1000 people with
limited means, but with full faith in
the future and destiny of their place
can do. When business does revive
we can continue building our prosper
ity higher upon the top notch of what
we have already done, and not have
to 60 back, as will SO many other
places, and renew foundations and
make up what has been lost There
is no reason to feel blue, but let
everyone take fresh breath and sc
ahead.
Courage and press onward.

lawyers in che United States who
would be delighted to have this place
rendered to them and doubtless Messrs
Carlisle and Olney; also Bissell and
Hoke Smith are among the number
Suppose Mr.. Cleveland in his
message to Congress- asked a
Treasury official, "should recommend
as substitute for the Sherman Sill
yer law a bill providing for the free
coinage Of silver" Suppose the
sky were to fall?" Retorted the gen
tleman with whom he was convers-
ing. "You seem incredulous, but
You need not be-" was the reply, "for
/ can assure you that Mr.. Cleveland
is now earnestly considering that
very thing, the silver SO coined to be
limited in It's legal tender qualities
to one hundred dollars or probably
less. Mind you, / do not say that
he will make such recommendation
only that he is considering that
among other proposed substitutes for
the Sherman law, having about come
to the conclusion that it will be i'm
possible to secure the unconditional
repeal Of the Sherman law, and being
DESTROYS of making known to Con-
gress what sort of a substitute will
be acceptable to the administration .
Speculation as to President Cleve-
lands message occupies a considera-
bic portion of the time of those Con-
gressmen who are already here, and
everybody who is likely to have any
information ON the subject is closely
catcchiscd. Few people have sue
ccedcd in finding out in advance any
of President Clcveland's actions-it
is said that some times all Of the
members Of the cabinet DO not know
until the thing is donc-and for that
reason impressions are not to be re-
lied upon in predicting what the
message will contain. Those who
have talked to him express the be-
lief that twill be confined exclusively
to financial! matters, and that every
thing else will be left over for his
message to the regular session, be-
ginning in December. There is no
doubt that Mr.. Cleveland in common
with most people would like the cx-
ira session to be short one, but he
has little or no hope that it will be.
There are twenty good reasons why
the extra session will be prolonged to
the opening Of the regular session,
and none for it's being a short one.
Likes are not reasons in politics or
in anything else.
That Comptroller Eckels isan am
bilious young man has become APP
parent to the most careless observer,
but it astonished many to be told
that his ambition scared rs high as
the Treasury portfolio, but that is
what the politicians around Wash
ington arc saying just now. Mr.. Eek
els is known to have very strong per-
sonal influence with President Cleve-
land and Secretary Lamont, and he
is said to be using it for all he knows
how to bring about the appointment
of Secretary Carlisle to the Supreme
Court vacancy and his own as Sec
rotary Carlisle's successor. 1t APP
pears at first glance to be an impos-
sible sort Of combination, but what
appeared impossible yesterday is
often accomplished today, particu-
larly in politics.
