WASHINGTON LETTER.
Wtshin gtoa. oct. 20. 1894.

washington, Oct. ~. I534,
Obstinacy and luminosity are appar-
emily stronger traits in the character
of Mr.. Cleveland than loyalty to the
party to which he owes 50 much. Up
to this time he has declined to indi
cate by word or deed that he wishes
to see his personal enemy and party
associate. Senator Hill, elected Gov
ernor of New York. On the contra
nv, his acts, if not his words, Indicate
that he wishes to see him defeated.
Had he and the administration really
wished the success of their party in
New York there would have been
nothing improper or unprecedented
in inviting Senator Faulkner to dis
cuss the matter with the Cabinet as
we'll as the President. Senator Faulk-
ner apparently takes this view of the
matter, as he has not repeated his
visit.
But still more significant than the
above is the announcement that Sec
1etary Carlisle will not go to New
York to make speech for Hill, as it
is well-known that Mr.. Carlisle was
before Mr.. Cleveland's return to
Washington inclined to accept the in
vitation to make several speeches in
New York if it was agreeable to Mr..
Cleveland. It is therefore plain that
it is not agreeable.
Ali this is naturally pleasing to the
managers of the republican campaign.
They have never believed that the
help of MIR. Cleveland could elect Hill,
but they are confident that his refusal
to do 50 will add to Mr.. Morton's ma
jority and to the number of republic
ans elected to the House. The indi-
cations now are that more than two
thirds of New York's delegates in the
next House will be republicans. Mr..
Cleveland's position will also help the
republicans in other States. II may
be, as has long been charged by dem
ocrats, that Mr.. Cleveland has become
SO disguised with the legislation Of
democratic congress that he wishes
the republicans to control the House;
but whether he wishes it or not, re-
publican success is to- day regarded in
Washington TO be as much Of a GER
tainty as any political event can pos
sihlS nnG before the votes are cast and

AL OF the excellent work done by
the late Secretary Carlisle and his col
leagues Of the Harrison administra-
ton to make the shipment Of dressed
beef and live stock to Germany profit
able to Americans has been undone,
thanks to democratic laundering.
The German Ambassador has given to
the State Department formal notice
of the issuance Of decree by his gov
eminent prohibiting the importation
of dressed beef and cattle from the
United States. The Ambassador gives
as the reason of the action Of his gov
eminent that Texas fever HIS been
carried 10 Germany by American cat
tie, but it is no secret among officials
and members of the diplomatic corps
that the action of Germany is the first
step towards retaliation upon the I'm
tied States, on account of the differ
entail duty Of one eighth Of one cert
pouad imposed upon Germany re
fined sugar by the schedule OF the
tariff law. This democratic favor .
the sugar trust, for such the differec
tial duty on refined sugar is Omitted
by all to be, is likely to prove doubiy
costly to the people of the United
i G.,
lief that Germany will shortly adopt
additional retaliatory measures. The
only way to stop the troubles caused
by democratic legislation is to elect
republicans to congress.
One of the most shameful features
of Tammany misrule, as pointed out
in the admirable arraignment of that
Infamous organization by the Co nmit
tee of Seventy, is the insidious war
fare of neglect and passive hostility
carried on against the public school
system. There are about thirty thous
and children who can not be accom-
modated in the public schools of New
York City, "and the kindergarten
system, which has existed in nearly
every large city of this country for
years, was only introduced in this city
last year by the opening a few free
kindergartens after long and persist
ent agitation" 1t has been matter
Of current knowledge for years that
Tammany Hall is antagonistic to the
public school system and controlled
