 Especial Correspondence.l
 WASHINGTON. New Years Day, 1S95.- On this anniversary, at once so solemn and so happy, when Janus Bifrons looks both ways at the years and Jupiter Pluvius opens his cloudy magazine of storms, we abandon politics by common consent, take stock of the year just past and try to as- suage our grief for its disappointments by indulging in bright hopes for the coming year. In all the 30 years since the civil war there has not been one with more changes in politics and personal prospects than this. So let us note briefly the polit- ical fortunes made and marred, the pres. ont status of some of our statesmen, the latest things in society at the capital, the buds and tho Buddhists, or, as, they now phrase it, the debatantes and the theo- sophs.
 Nearly all the congressman arc out of town, those re main:n2 being much less than usual. They commence leaving a week before Christmas. The great currcn- cy debate was before a thinner house than any important discussion for many years, and on the day when the statues of Daniel Webster and General John Stark were deGi- cated, with several really fine and instruct i've oratiOnS, there were not at any time 100 men in the house. Absenteeism has been the curse of this congress, which, the Democrats say, is because of their excess i've majority. Nevertheless congress has done much, and the bigger part of what it has done has been approved by the people. The sherman silver law was repealed and there arc few or mono to grievc for it. Tho federal election law went next, and though the Republicans kicked hard they are now more than reconciled. and why not, seeing they have captured New York city, West Virginia and Tennessee, with half each of Maryland, North Carolina and MiSsourif Tho PopulistS are equally satisfied, aS they have rcvolut:oni2ed North Carolina, scared Texas badly and aCitated Alabama. As to the DcmOcrats-why, they have got to be satisfied, as they have no chance to kick. It Is n case much like that of the fox hunt ing parson in England who argued that the sport was in the highest degree mcrci- full, giving very much more pleasure than pain. Said he "Thcro arc tho hounds and the horses. They certainly do show that they enjoy it. We know that the men enjoy it, and nobody can provo for certain that the foxes don't enjoy it, and so there you areV'

SECRETARY CARLISLE Very properly de- lines to discuss tue absurd story that J. ,'ierpont Morgan had been sent to Presi- lent Cleveland by a syndicate of bankers ask tha, tue secretary of the treasury be 'emoved. A more preposterous story was iever started upon its rOun l.. It is al ogether probable that any man who pre- ented a request of that sort to President Cleveland would be, as he would deserve 'e,erve to be, kicked out of the executive
