Washington Letter
FROM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT,

FROM OUR REGULA CORRESPONDENT,
WASHINGTON. D. c.. Ayrl 90, 1894
So many Misrepresentation haye
been sent from Washington concerning
the intentions Of the authorities towards
Coxey's army, Of the coming Of which
there is no longer any doubt, that Your
correspondent has ascertained and pre-
sents herewith exactly what those lnten.
tions are. There is no element Of sen
satlon about the matter. Coxey army
has nothing to fear from the Washington
officials so long as its members comply
with the law, as all other organizations
are required to do. No organization,
local or visiting. can parade the streets
without permit, but there will be no
difficulty in CoXeys army getting that
permit. 1t cannot as en- organization
march upon any part Of the Capitol
grounds without special permission from
Congress, nor can any other organlza-
tlon, because of a law against it; but it
can march to the Capitol grounds, break
ranks, and 60 into the Capitol as indi-
Yiduals, just as was done on Saturday
by about 1000 OF the National Work.
';ngmen's Protective Tariff League, who
came here to protest against the passage
OF the tariff bill. They cannot hold a
meeting on the Capitol steps nor even
upon the grounds, because the law for
bids it. They cannot present their Pc
tltion to Congress- in person, but they
can haYe it presented and as many of
them as the House and Senate galleries
will seat can hear them presented. In
short, the authorities have no intention
Of treating Coxey army in any manner
different from the treatment they usu-
ally give to any body Of men coming
here, and 10 UNUSUAL preparations have
been made inthe expectation of trouble
simply because no trouble IS expected.
I ap aware that this differs widely from
the sensational statements sent out, but
it is simply the PLAIN, unvarnished truth.
Coxey's army will not be welcome, but
it will not be lnterfered with, unless It's
members violate the law.
Readers of this correspondence will
remember paragraph concerning
proposition before Congress for The pur
chase Of a portrait of Dolly Madison for
$4,000. which | characterized as extrav-
agance. Well, evidently the shot went
home as a new proposition has now been
made and the price scaled down to So,
900. 1t is too high yet. when the status
of the artist is considered; that is what
makes, The price for private buyers of
paintings.

The readers of The CLARION will be
pleased to learn that there is at least,
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages, and
chat is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure
is the only positive cure now known to
the medical fraternity. Catarrh being
q constitutional disease, requires con-
stitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure Is taken internally acting direct
on the blood and mucous surfaces OF
the system, thereby destroying the
foundation Of the disease. and giving
the patient strength by building the
constitution and assisting nature in
doing its work. The proprietors have
so much faith in its curtive powers that
they offer One Hundred Dollars for any
case that 1t fails to cure. Send for list
of testimonials.

The strength of the home rule send-
ment in the Senate was shown by the
vote on the nomination Of @. H. j. Tay-
lor, of Kansas to be Recorder of Deeds
for the District of Columbian the Sen.
ate D, G. Committee. Only two Sena-
tors-Martin of Kansas and Harris Of
Tennessee-yoted for favorable report
while eight Senators-Faulkner, of W..
Va, Hunton; of Va; Gibson, of Mary
land; Mcmillan, Of Mich; Gallinger, of
N. H.; Proctor, of Vermont; Wolcott, of
Co.., and Hansbrough, of N. Dek.-
voted for an unfayorable report. His
rejection is now certain.
There are going to be some lively
legislating for a record on SILVER as soon
as the House can get the regular appro.
priation bills out Of the way. There
are number of mem bers IN the House
who voted last August for the repeal
of the purchasing clause of the sher-
man silver law who are anxious to put
themselves on record before the Con-
gresslonal nomination conventions are
held in their districts by voting for a
straight free coinage bill, and, strange
to say, the men who stuck to silver in
the memorable fight at the extra session
are going to help them to do 1T. The
present programme is to report a free
coinage bill to the House as soon as the
appropriations are disposed Of and to
rush it through with as little talk as
possible. Of course everybody knows
that no bill favorable to silver can be-
come a law while Mr.. Cleyeland is
President, unless it can get a two-thrds
vote IN House and Senate, but vote
sor free coinage bill will square a
great many Representatives with their
silver constituents, and that IS all that
is expected to come out of this pro-
gramme.
Senator Gordon resolution instruct
ting the Senate committee on Finance
to report Il bill for the repeal of the tax
on state bank currency must also be
classed as play for a record, as Mr..
Gordon knew when it was offered that
it would be referred to the Fina nee
committee. a majority Of the members
Of which are opposed to repeating this
tax, unless some of them have under.
gone recent change of mind on the
subject, which isn't probable.
Representative Straus, Of New York
has introduced one Of those bills which
sound so nice and which everybody
knows would not be practicable, even
if enacted into a law, which this one
meyer be. 1t prohibits personal apph-
cations for federal positions either to
any Senator, REPRESENTATIVE or federal
official. Senators and Representatives
are very fond of complaining Of the
number of applications made to them
for help to get positions, but it is doubt
full whether twenty Of the whole tour
