WASHINGTON LETTER.

WASHINGTON, Dec 90, 1895
The Republican House does not propose
wasting any time while waiting for the tar
if and bond bills to be reported from th'
Finance Committee and acted upon by the
Senate, It is the policy of the Republican
leaders in the House to make the session Z
short one, so far as the action Of one branch
of Congress can do so, and In accordance
with that policy the regular appropriation
bills are to be passed as rapidly as possible.
The pension appropriation bill will be re-
ported to the House this week 1t carries
an appropriation Of SI37,ooo, 900 and three
important amendments to the pension law
First, one providing that no pension shall
be suspended on a charge Of fraud until the
charge shall have been adjudicated in U
S District Court, except where the alleged
fraud constitutes a plain violation of stat
ute, as in the case of the remarriage of a
widow; second, one providing that any
claim granted under the act of 1899 shall
date from the date of application, INSTEAD Of
from the date Of adjudication as at present;
third, one repeating the section of the act of
1890 which requires a widow to show that
she is dependent for her support on her
daily labor
It is expected that the Senate Finance
Committee will report one or more bills to
the Senate this week, but it is not certain
that it will, and the exact nature Of the bill
or bills which will be reported is even more
uncertain, although the impression is grow
ing among Republicans that that the tariff
bill will be reported without amendment,
just as it was passed by the House, and
that it will be pushed to a vote at an early
date 1t is for the finance committee to de.
eide whether the tariff or bond bill will be
first reported. It's now regarded as prob
able that if Mr.. Cleveland succeeds in
making big bond issue he will feel indie
pendent of the revenue provided by the tar
if bin and will veto that measure, if the
Senate passes it, which it will almost GER
tainly do
Representative Clarke Iowa, has intro
duced bill providing that greenbaces shall
be paid out BY the Treasury only mex
change for gold, and that none Of the gold
now in the Treasury shall be pad out un-
til the total amount on hand exceeds 500 t,
100000 The difference between this bill
and the joint resolution offered by Senator
is that this bill would stop the ne,
of gfesIs3ac<s and heasury)1otes
until the gold reserve exceeded lIie sum
named, while Mr. Sherman's resolution pro-
,ldes for the continued redemption of those
notes with gold but prohibits the reissue Of
notes so redeemed exc 4 for gold

THERE is truth in the assertion that
this congress has spent more time
looking for trouble abroad than il has
in attending TO useful home legisla.
tion The latest reach after trou bic is
resolution now before the senate ju-
dietary committee, requesting that the
president intervene with the British
authorities TO secure the release Of
Mrs May brick, now serving life SEN
tence in a British prison as a result Of
having been found guilty OF poisoning
her husband. Mrs. May is an
American and there mas always been
much sympathy for her in the United
States aud a general belief that she
was innocent of the charge upon
which she was found guilty, but that
does not give the president any right
to intervene with the British author
tiles in her behalf; hence the resolu.
tion offered by Senator Call, Of Flori-
da, is merely another reach after
trouble. 1t ought to die ia committee,
but nobody can tell what senators will
do these days,

1t was absolutely impassive and in

were made, streets and alleys sank
into decay, seycral bond issues were
made. the watcrworks plant fell into
dlapidation and yet it cost s26 900 to
run the local government nine months.
Not one praiseworthy act in behalf Of
the town was recorded during the
