ROW BREWING.
COURSES NOT LOUD BUT DEEP
The Devil To Pay and the Pitch
Hot.

line washington correspondent OF
the Chicago Times-a man who tells
more truth than any newspaper man
in America,-(the REPRESENTATIVES,
staff always excepted),-has this to
say about the inside of the present
situation.
Washington, d. c., Feb, 15.-Yes-
terday's gold-bond storm is over, but
the heavy ground swells of house
wrath and senate indignation still
come rolling in. That is, these
ground swells roll in privately. Mem
bers take one aside, as it were. and
show one their hearts. It is remark
able how much more viciously vigor-
GUS these people are in private than
in open debate on the carpets of con-
gress. Men who purr in the house
softly and who in their most venom
Gus fangings never go beyond black
hint or a malodorous innuendo make
no scruple to seize and draw one aside
and tell story and unfurl belief
wherein high potential ties are hailed as
thieves" "rascals," and "bribe
takers" and all with various profane
addenda to make utterance emphatic.
They will assure one that this bond
business of Carlisle and the Roth
schilds is a swindle; that somebody is
laying up vast, illicit treasure thereby;
that Carlisle has shown himself weak
~, the foolish man, or worse; and that
in either event he ought to be made
to resign. II he won't resign then
should he be impeached declare these
volcanic ones. No end of this talk in
hot blood goes about. Not only in
the aisles of the house, but among the
senators, those grave, musty sons of
dust and precedent. Peculiarly vio-
lent are such as Vest, Harris, Voor-
hees, Mills, and Jones of Arkansas.
They describe all fashions Of official
and political punishment of a capital
sort. from hanging, or plain decapita
ton, to boiling Oil and burning at the
stake, as the deserts and just needs of
everybody of the administration, from
the white house down, who connived
at this bond sale to the Rothschilds.
Yes, your senators named are high
ly violent, red-faced set withal and
would, if they felt half the furnace
like wrath they pretended, perish and
become consumed in their own heat.
But one must doubt If they feel it.
Those old dogs of the senate are high
actors, too, and always conduct them
They know at this crisis that free sill
yer was never more popular. They
know that the admins tration has
made grievous error in this bond
'contract" it has signed. They know
that this contract is United States
bonds when bonds are not necessary;
borrOwS money when money is not
needed; and with it all is move so
foolishly conceived and fatuously exc
cuted that these bonds will pay
higher rate of interest than is paid by
any country of Europe-higher than
the ineXpressible Turk or China, or
bankrupt Egypt-and will thereby put
Infamous millions on millions into
the acknowledgement othschild-Stet
son Golfers and take them from the
pockets Of the people. These senators
now breathing flames know all these
things and they are aware, too, that
the public is fully informed and it is
to curry favor for themselves with
that same public which leads the
Vests and the HAIRLESS and all the
others to enter into these private
rock throwings at the administrat ton.
People should come to correct cOnclu-
oAOho 90 w OlONOlCAo anu SdI1lSlC dIlu
all their public acts; including the
present gold bond blunder. But there
exists no popular necessity of letting
these aged thin ble-riggers of the SEN
ate, who fooled one on silver in the
extra session and fooled one again on
tariff and on sugar in the regular ses-
sion, and who robbed one in both,
bambOoZle one moment. Remember
thiS-that no matter how hard and
how black and how dispairing an
opinion one may entertain of the ad-
ministration, no difference where it
may go or what it may do, the senate
will be ever worse. This highly pa
trotic talk at the present time raging
among senators need delude no one.
Does anyone ever think of Carlisle,
or of Cleveland, or ask how they
are weathering the storms of criti-
cisms now beating upon them? One
who saw Cleveland today said he
looked anxious, worn, and racked.
He looked seventy years DID," said
the gOssiper. Carlisle on his part sees
no one. He is housed in his rear office
with orders to admit nobody unless he
is first informed and gives permission.
He wears an expression of black de-
spair. Neither Carlisle nor Cleveland
is happy just at this time.
