WASHINGTON, Feb. 15.-There was a re-
freshing absence of financial talk at both
ends of the Capitol to-day. So far as the
House is concerned the subject will never
come up again officially until, perhaps, the
sundry civil bill comes back from the Sem
ate. Then, if Mr.. German has added his
emergency certificate rider to the bill,
there may be another contest over the ma
tional finances, for situation is de-
veloping that is not without elements of
amusement. The administration, after hav-
ing exhausted every form of appeal and of
threat to secure relief legislation. displays
tendency to-day to reject substantial aid
that may be proffered. 1t seems as though
Mr.. Cleveland would rather bankrupt the
treasury by a succession of such infamous
dickers with foreign money lenders as is
the which the representatives of the
people rejected in such unmistakable terms
yesterday than to accept succor if brought
by Mr.. German. Mr.. Cleveland's malignant
hatred of the Maryland Senator, which he
displayed so unblushingly during the tariff
fight, is aroused at the suggestion that he
should owe relief to his deadliest enemy
and it is evident from the tone of the adj
ministration men in the House that the
German rider will be fought fin the House.
1t is gravely argued that the treasury does
Mr.. Carlisle to the Senate is quoted to show
that the treasury has now hundred mil
lion dollars available to meet current ex-
penditures. In this contention Of the admin
istration men the statement of Mr.. Carlisle
that he was compelled to use $105, ,000, 600 of
the money raised from the sale of bonds
wherewith to run the government is calmly
ignored
The members of the appropriations COM
mittee are reticent. 1ney content them
selves with delaying final decision of their
attitude toward the German rider until they
have heard from Secretary Carlisle The
Secretary will at present express no opin-
ion. 1t may be. therefore, that the loyal
forces which have hitherto gone down to
ignomnious defeat each time they sought
to help the treasury may receive one final
defeat in their efforts to prevent the first
practical method of relieving the treasury.
Attention is invited to the fact that the
loyal "cuckoos'' who have heretofore de-
nounced the German tariff bill as the pr-
mary cause of the gold withdrawals, be-
cause in its failure to provide sufficient rev.
enues 1t caused the lack of confidence which
produced the gold run, are now shouting
that there will be ample revenues from this
same bill. If the German rider is defeated,
and Mr.. Cleveland is thereby enabled to
make a few more profitable transactions
with foreign money changers, it will be
because the administration has ordered its
defeat in the House.
The Senate air is heavy with coming sill
yer speeches that will not be DELAYED II
seems inevitable that the Jones bill will be
called up some time next week, possibly
Monday, and that Mr.. Cleveland may be
told by Senators Of both parties how they
view his unholy alliance with the
ID
stated by your correspondent, 1t does seem
probable that a vote will be reached on
the bill. Appearances multiply that If MIR.
German decides to bring in his emergency
certificate rider there will be little deter
mined opposition to it from Senator Teller
and the silver men.
