Our Washington Letter.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 8.
Wise men can give good advice,
but the wlsest OF men cannot COM
pei the acception of their advice.
Ex-Speaker Reeds substitute for
the Cleveland gold bond bill,
which declarations Of Senators
made an impossibility before it
was voted upon by the House,
proves the truth of this statement.
MIR. Reeds bill would, if enacted
into law, provide the government
with means to raise the gold reserve
fund to its proper amount, and by
providing the Secretary of the
Treasury with money to meet de-
| ticiencics in the revenues Of the
government until such times as the
revenue Of the government should
exceed the expenditures would
keep the gold reserve intact.
Here is MIR. Reeds statement of
the situation: I'VE were redeem
ing greenbacks when they were
presented. If the revenue was
equal to the expenditure whenever
a greenback was redeemed it would
stay in the treasury, and this not
withstanding the fact the Secretary
is authorized to reissue; for it is
not either the authorization or even
the demand Vf the law that they
shall be reissued that causes the
trouble. 1t is the fact that they are
rcissued. 1t is the fact that their
reissuance causes this continued
depletion of the Treasury.
Much ado about nothing" is
about the only correct title to apply
to the financial debate and the votes
taken this week in the House.
Every man of even average intel
ligence knew beforehand that it
made not the slightest difference
what the House did or what it
failed to do, so far as the accom-
plishment ofany financial legislation
was concerned. They knew that
Mr.. Cleveland had all his arrange
ments made for another bond issue.
and that it would be made. About
the only result of the debate in the
| House was that it enabled some of
the outgoing Democrats to put in
a strong claim for Presidential
appointment to office.
Public Printer Benedict has
never been popular with members
of the G. A. R., but his impolite
treatment of a committee from that
organization which called on him
for the purpose Of asking the
reinstatement OF comrades who had
been dismissed without cause has
aroused hatred towards him in
the breasts Of all soldiers. which
Mr.. Benedict may live to regret.
Il have admitted you here today in
order 10 he able to tell You that
you will never he admitted again."
were the words Benedict greeted
the G. A. K. committee with when
they were admitted to his Office.
He not only refused in impolite
language to reinstate any of the
discharged veterans, but he even
refused to look at the list prepared
by the committee, saying courtiy:
mot one Of them will be put back"
and when the committee stood
dumbfounded at such treatment he
angrily continued: "There is moth
ing further to be said; what are
YOU waiting for!"

Democratic rule, and almost as fas
as he made his guesses, the condi
tons compelled him to chang.
them. This was particularly tru,
during the last fiscal year. Hi.
first estimate of the deficit for that
period was S25.OOO, 600; then he
put it at $50, 900, 600; next he made
it S5S, 900, 900; and finally he lifted
it to $40, 10000 with possibility
of $50, ,o0O, 900, and the year closed
before he was obliged to name a
still larger amount.
We are now informed by t his
persevering gucsser that ''from es-
Inmates on a basis Of laws now in
force. it is believed that for the
twelve months ending December
81, 1895, the revenues from all
sources will exceed ordinary ex-
penditures by $22, ,563, ,O23." 1t is
to be hoped that he is right in this
latest estimate; but it is not for
gotten that there was a deficit of
nearly 100000 in January, and
that several succeeding months are
likely to make a similar showing.
The returns from the income tax
will not be available before the 1st
Of July, and meanwhile the short
age will be considerably increased.
Possibly turn for the better may
come sooner by reason Of larger
imports, but that is only conjectur-
al. There will have to be re-
markable addition to the receipts in
the last six months of the year in
order to fulfill the present predic-
ton of surplus. The situation is
improving, unquestionably, but the
public can not he blamed for hesi-
tating to credit an estimate which
involves obvious chances of disap-
pointment, and which has behind
it so many other estimates from
the same source which were not
realized. In view of the poor re-
cord that Secretary Carlisle has
made as predicter, the most that
he can reasonably expect of the
country is an amiable willingness
to wait and see what shall be seen.
He may he sure that he has the
wishes of all good citizens for his
success in a relation where he has
heretofore invariably failed, and
that nothing would please them
more than the extraordinary sight
Of a surplus under Democratic rule.

looking for better class of horses, and
many are finding them in the Morgan.
They are easier kept in condition than
the 800 or | ,600-lb horse. They are bet
ter on great many machines on farm
than the big horses. For instance, a
team of 100 or l2O0-lb. Morgan horses
will kill team weighing 1900 lbs. apiece
hitched to harrow, corn pillow. seeder,
etc.. because they do not sink into the
ground as deep on a pillow. On solid
ground the big team might out-do them.
Then, farther, after hard days work in
the field you cannot drive a heavy team
to town in the evening, say five or six
miles, in from one-half to three-quarters
of an hour without injury to them, as
you can good team of tough Morgan

opinion of many others, that the Nor

1t has been said that the country peo-
pie will not turn out. This Is true; they
will not turn out to see $40 skates in
2:lO classes, but give Them Robert Us

such horses will bring, and they will he
there to see them.
Short meetings with frst-class events,
and the gamblers shut of, and known to
be shut of, so that people who have con-
scientious scruples on this way of making
or losing money can go with thelr
friends and families and enjoy the
sport. This should be the policy of the
friends of the harness horse.

THE FRIENDS OF THE HARNESS
HORSE.

["Trotwood' in Horse Review
The success of the Red Oak meeting
up to the time the rain prevented fur
ther racing illustrates fact which
horsemen over the country should not
be slow in seeing. The forethought in
seeing in the town of Red Oak the place
for brilliant meeting, and the ability
and enterprise with which the meeting
was carried out, are due, primarily, OF
course, to the able and popular officials
who are at the head of the association.
But the lesson of the success itself is one
which horsemen should study closely, as
it seems existing causes are now at work
which will necessitate them to take
greater interest in the events of the
smaller associations and meetings in
smaller towns. And not only Red Oaks,
but the success this year, as well as in
years past, of some of the meetings of
the smaller circuits, coupled with the
knowledge of the bare existence, year
after year, of some Of the larger assOci-
atoms in more pretentiOus cities, point
to the fact that at last the country is the
stronghold of the friends of the trOtter
. nd PAGER. Many of the larger cities
seem to be welded to the runner and the
gambler. Let them wed on; the better
element of the people are for the harness
horse, and the friends of the harness
horse should see to it that this senti-
ment is strengthened by clean, pure and
healthy races, and not be allowed TO fall
under the same methods which have
brought about the reform wave now
sweeping over certain portions of the
country, wave for which the running
turf is alone responsible. The rural peo-
Pile are, we repeat the real friends of the
harness horse. They know something
about these horses; they breed, use, and
often develop them; they are often as
familiar with their different strains of
blood as the exclusive breeder himself,
and the opinion is strong among them
that the sport is not yet turned over to
the pool box, the tout and the gambler.
Of all horses the harness horse is nearer
to the hearts of this class of people, and
if first-class events are given them, and
the ordinary lessons of common morality
enforced against riOtous gambling and
needless breaking of the simple rules of
correct living, as was the case at Red
Oak, harness sport will become Ameri-
can in name and In fact.
Let not the owners of harness horses
be discouraged. All the world is not in
the large cities, nor all the people who
wish to see good races. But it is safe to
say that nine-tenths of that class of
patrons whose operations at the race
tracks have tended to bring about
the protests which have ieopardized
so many associations and sent as
many more to bankruptcy, are there,
and attend the races not for love of the
sport, but for love of speculation.
