WASHINGTON, D.. c., July goth, 1895.
Has Joe Blackburn made deal with
the administration? A gentleman who
is usually well informed upon inside
democratic happenings assured me that
he had. The deal. according to this gen.
tleman, provides that Blackburn shall
not talk free silver during the remainder
of the Kentucky campaign, andin return
tor his assistance in keeping the silver
question in the background, the admin
istration promises that it will present
no candidate for the senate against
Blackburn, if the democrats retain con-
troll of the legislature. While not pre-.
tending to vouch for the accuracy of this
story, I will say that many tips received
from the same source have proved to be
straight. There are also corroborative
circumstances, as the lawyers say.
First, Blackburn's coming to Washing
ton in the midst of the campaign; second,
his refusal to talk; third. the talk OF adj
ministration democrats about Black
burn being reelected to the senate, il
the democrats carry the Legislature.
because of his personal popularity, re-
gardless of the silver question. To take
in the full significance of the last it must
be remembe, ed that few weeks ago
these same administration democrats
were shouting: "anybody to beat Black
burn They do not love Blackburn
now any more than they did then, but
they fear republican success in Kentucky
more. Secretary Carlisle wishes to have
his name presented to the democratic
convention as Kentucky's candidate for
president, and he knows his last chance
would 60 glimmering- he scarcely has
one Of possible one hundred, anyway
the day Kentucky was carried by ths
Republicans. Some OF Blackburn
friends have not hesitated to say that
they would rather republican be elect
ed to succeed him than Cleveland dem
ocrat. Maybe that was only a bluff
but it frightened the other fellows. II
was evident to Mr.. Carlisle, if not to
the rest OF. the administration, that with
Blackburn and his friends doing their
ieyel besr, the republicans would have
an even chance to win. and that with
Blackburn and his friends indifferent the
! republican success was certain; henc,
the necessity for making deal OF som,

and Bowler, to let their sugar growins

land to do the same. Little Bowler
action is a ioregone conclusion, although
he will, on August 7th., 60 through tn
farcical proceeding of listening to ar
guments in favor Of the constitutional
ty of the sugar bounty law. He ha.
been ordered to hold up that none,
and he will do it.
It is somewhat difficult to understand
democratic ideas of economy. One mem
Der of the cabinet-Secretary Morton
has, he says. as measure of economy
abolished the distribution of seeds t.
the farmers of the country, in detianc
of Congress, which appropriated tn
money to buv the seeds and to paw fo
| their distribution. Another member o
the cabinet Secretary Herbert-ha
| started OH six weeks tour of the At
| lantic coast summer resorts, on boart
of the U. s. Dispatch Boat, Dolphin, 4
1 public expense. He didn't say that hi
/ pleasure trip was also a measure o
economy, but he tries to disguise its rea
nature by pretending that it is made TO
the purpose of inspecting the Govern
/ ment Navy Yards on the Atlantic.
The nations of the world seem to know
the timid nature of the Cleveland ad
ministration quite as well as American
Co. Months ago France was asked tt

i OF Ex-Consul Waller, who is now III
.Fiench prison, and she refused. an M
precedented thing to do. Another de
mand has since been made for the pap
ers, and state department officials ex
press the opinion that another refusa
will in due couBse be made. Mean
