Washington Letter
FROM OUR REG ULAR CoRpEspoNDEN

FROM OUR REG uLAR CORRESPONDENT
WASHINGTON. D. c., February 8, 1896
Well, the silver men have by the d..
cisive vote of AZ to IS, demonstrated
their ability to control the Senate and
pass the Free Coinage substitute for the
House Bond bill, as everybody knew
they would. The record shows that
fifteen republicans voted for free coin
age and twelve dem )crats against it.
In view Of the attempt that is to be
made TO amend the House Tariff bill
with free coinage rider, this vote be-
comes an interesting study. Will the
twelve democratic Senators who voted
againet the free coinage substitute for
the Bond bill also vote against the free
coinage amendment to the Tariff bill,
which the most of them, as party men,
are anxious to defeat? And will the
fifteen republicans who voted for the
free coinage substitute, because their
constituents favor free silver, vote for
the free coinage amendment to the tar
if bill, which they. as parry men, want
TO pass If the democrats who voted
against, and the republicans who voted
for the silver substitute vote the same
way on the silver amendment to the tar.
if bill, what will be the result Surely
these three questions ought to furnish
tie lovers Of legislative puzzles all the
occupation they wish for a few days.
The answer to the above questions
generally given BY those best informed
including men Of all parties. silver and
anti silver men, is, that the vote will be
different on the silver amendment to
the tariff bill. 1t is believed that the
twelve democrats who voted against the
silver substitute will also vote against
the silver amendment, and that enough
of the fifteen republicans who voted for
the silver substitute will vote against
the silver amendment to defeat it, us a
matter of party policy.
1t is for the Populist Senators to say
whether Mr.. Dupont shall take his seat
as Senator from Delaware, as the demo
clats and republicans have drawn the
party line on the report from the Flee
ton committee, which favors Mr.. Du
pont. The Impression prevails that a
sufficient number o. them will support
the report to seat Mr., Dupont.
1t looks, after careful examination, as
though the gentlemen who voted to get
the Cuban resolution before the Senate
were merely after gaining time and get
ing let up on the pressure which has
been brought to bear upon them by
those who believe it is the duty of this
government to recognize the Cubans as
belligerents.

We secure patents and to induce people to

submits to us the most mcrtorious invention
during the preceding month We will also
advertise the Invention free of charge in the
National Recorder,a weekly newspaper, pub.

States ana is devoted to the interests Of in

Nor so HARD AS IT SEEMS.
The idea of being able to invent something
trikes most people rs being very difficult;
this dclusion the Company wishes to dispe1.
1t is the simple things and small inventions
that make the greatest amount of money and
the complex ones are seldom profitable. AL
most everybody, at some time or another,
conceyes an idea, which, if patented, would
probably be worth to Inn a fortune. UnfOr-
tunutrly such ideas are usually dismissed
without thought. The simple Invention like
tie car WinGoW which could be easily slid up
and Il wn without breaking the passengers
back, the sauce pan, the collar button, the
nut lock, the bottle stopper, the snow shovel
are things that almost everyone sees some
way of improving upon, and it is these kind
of inventions that bring the greatest returns

The Salary Question.
Not Argued Specially to Catch the
Applause Of the People.

One of the cheap avenues Of approach
to ".he people" is over the inconsderate
and utterly fallacious line of argument
that attempts to set up the principle
that the salary paid to public official
should not exceed that which an equal
service in private business life COM
mands. We read that every day and
when found in the columns Of those
journals TO whom no one accords great
weight in the framing and directing
of public opinion, it occasions only a
passing thought but when it is support
ed by the prestige of the more preten-
ticus journal, it is then that one gets
out of patience with that miserable folly
of man that demandsa sacrifice ofhon est
opinion to the divinity that shapes the
end of our we'll being in the eyes Of the
multitude. That such position is,
in many instances, neither more nor
less than studied pose for effect, can
scarcely be doubted, for the authors Of
much that is wise, logical, carefully
wrought out and intelligently stated
are to be found subscribing to this fal.
lacy. That it is fallacy can, We think,
be shown by propounding one question,
to-wit: What inducement is offered to
a capable man of business, or member
of profession to accept publicposition
during one year, more or less, the while
neglecting his legitimate business, only
to find at the expiration of his term Of
public service that his salary has equal
ed the revenue received from business
prior to his taking office and that bus.
mess, through neglect or actual discon.
tinuance. partially or wholly lost?
Again, both in making and executing
our laws, no one dare gainsay the state
ment that it should be the work of our
ablest, soundest, most successful practi-
cal men and who dare hope to see that
class of men assume the reins, only to
place in jeopardy a business established
by the labor and care OF years, to receive
an emolument equal but to that return
ed to them by their established pursuits?
Honor? Yes; there are positions of
honor and it can be conceived that hon
or may have legitimate cash value
that is, men may very properly agree
to the sacrifice of time and money to Sc
cure coveted position Of honor, but the
name Of such positions is not legion nor
is it to such that we particularly refer,
1t is to those secondary positions. both
State and National, those of responsible
ity and trust rather than honor, that
we refer and where we would be dis
posed to challenge the manhood Of one
who would confess that he honored the
position less than it honored him. 1t
would be, in fact, to provide against the
incumbency Of that class that we would
offer a premium for solid capacity, by

The Canal Movement.

The general awakening Of public opin-
ion to the feasibility and immense benefits
of the canal project was never so wide or
thorough as at present, remarks the Pitts
burg Di ,patch. From Youngstown on the
one hand to the mountains of West Viz
ginia on the other, the people who at first
doubted its practicability are beginning to
understand that its material phases are
most favorable, and that in its realizsuon
lies the factor that will make this entire
region the iron and steel center Of the
world
This goes far to repay those who have
stood by the project in its early days
when it was discouraged by incredullty
and opposed by enmity. II shows that
the enterprise is now moving steadily Tor
ws-d to success. With the continuance
of the same effort that has carried it over
the difficult early stages its final reallza-
t;on is certain. The day is not EAR distant
when the same appreciation of the Dement'S
of the project that rCw extends from the
Mahon1ng and Shenango valleys to West
Virginia will prevail over the region from
Duluth on Lake Superior to the down
river cities of the Mississippi valley.

The avowed purpose of Senator Teller
and three or four other free silver sera-
tors to defeat the House Revenue Bill
by burdening it with free coinage
amendment deserves the strongest con-
demnation. Nobody disputes the con-
stitutional right of Mr.. Teller and his
associate. to uphold the silver coinage
theory by their voices and votes i'll the
Senate while they are members OF that
body. The fact that enlightened public
sentiment is overwhelmingly against
them. and that their ideas have no earth
" prospect of ever being incorporated
into legislation, does not affect their le-
gal prerogatives. But every considea'
ton of patriotism demands that these
men-nominally Republicans-shall not
interpose their pet fad at this Junture TO
prevent the passage Of bill which IS I'M
pcratively required to protect the pubhc
credit. The revenue Bill comes to the
