WASHINGTON LETTER.
From Our Regular Correspondent.

From Our Regular Correspondent.
WAsHlNGroNs ID. c.. Dec. II. 1897.
Quite number Of senators and
representatives met each other
with very sickly smiles at the
white house this week. he
reason was that they had detected
each other III a bit of deception
more or less ridiculous. When
congress adjourned these men
has said to each other, Eve will
leave the president alone with
his grief and his work during the
recess, !" or words to that effect,
and some Of them actually left
Washington. But they did not
go far, and this week they flocked
to the white house, each doubtless
thinking he had fooled all the
rest and would have a good op-
portunity to talk the president
into granting whatever they were
after. The result has been that
the president had more callers
this week than he has had before
since he entered Office, and none
Of them have had an opportunity
to say more than a few words to
him. Those of them who could
see the humor in the situation
have been consoled by enjoying
the discontinue of themselves
and their colleagues, and some OF
them are in such a bad hurnor
about it that they will not enjoy
| Christmas much.
Bishop Arnett of Ohio and
Grant of Pa, do not agree with
their distinguished colored south.
ern brother, Booker Washington,
who says the negro should not
seek or hold Office. The two
bishops called on the president
this week---uot their first visit by
any notwithstanding the appoint.
rnent of negroes to Office.
It is reasonably certain that
this congress will legislate on the
fye civilized tribes in Indiar
/ Territory, and that the existing
government in this territory will.
be.abolished, but there is so much
pulling this way and the Other
by the representatives of the sev
/ eral interests involved that 1t ha.
not become apparent what the
nature of the legislation will be
The Indian committees Of tht
senate and house have been hold

mittee a truth we'll known in
Washington, but which few of
the bureau chiefs in the govern
ment service would have had the
nerve to stand behind, when he
said that senator's, representa-
Ftives, the civil service commission
and other influence compelled the
retention of at least 100 employees
OF the pension bureau who might
be dismissed with out the Slight
est drawback to the work of the
bureau, because of tlleir utter
ine(hciency. And it is the same
way in all the other branches of
the government. Senators and
representatives who talk on the
floors of congress about merit aud
efficiency being the only proper
standard for the government to
maintain in dealing with its enn-
ployes will then go to one of the
departments and demand the re-
tent1on Or promotion of employees
known to be inefficient.
There is much righteous indig-
uation expressed in Washington,
and there will be more from every
section OF the country, when it
becomes generally known that
the house committee on approprl-
atlous struck out the estimates of
the secretary of the interior for
Sufficient additional help to bring
and keep the business of the
patent Office, which is now from
two to six months behind, up to
date or thercabouts. When it is
remembered that the patent Office
is the one branch of the govern
ment that is conducted at a profit
land that it has more than
IS5, 100000 to its credit in the u.
| S. treasury, the action of the
i house committee seems to furnish
ample grounds for indignation.
i The matter will be heard from in
4 congress before the legislative,
Iexecutiye and judicial appropria-
ton bill is disposed Of.
/ 1t looks a little like the adj
ministrationwas feeling the pub
lie pulse on the civil service ques-
Ition. There was such a hubbuh
raised oyer Secretary Cages
creating of that civil pension list
!. that the secretary made haste tc
,lsay officially over his signature
that there were no pensioners or
the pay rolls OF the Treasury who
performed no duties. That was
4 true to the letter, but the duties
performed by those clerks ove1
seventy years old who have beer
placed on separate roll---s'rol
lof honor" so-called---are only
J, tsuch as they may choose to make
them, and orders have been ISSUED
that they should be exempted
! from all the rules and regulation:
, which ordinary employees have tt
! comply with. Thus they are no
pensioners, in name, but in fact
{ what else are they? When con
! gress adjourned for Christina
), it was stated that Presiden
Mckinley had decided to annu
i ia large portion OF the extension
of the civil service rules made b,
his predecessor, and that it woult
probably be done before th
! reasse,n5ling of congress; now,
! is said that the president will
! wait and see what comes of th
civil service fight in congress, be
Icause if he acted now he would b
charged with having been actual
! ed by fear of the movement i,

For some time there has seemed to be
desire on tho part rf the members of
the state board OF agriculture to abandon
al! Of the agricultural experiment sta
tions except the one at Fort Collins.
This desire of the agricultural board ta-
ken in connection with tho prospective
shortage in state revenue for the next
two years had the effect to defeat a,l OF
the appropriation bills for the expert
ment stations except that for the station
at Cheyenne Wells The members Of
the legislature from the eastern part of
the state made determined fight for
this bill and secured its passage, provid-
ing for an appropriation Of $4,000. If
this station is properly managed, the re-
suits OF the experiments made can be
ren Tered OF great benefit TO the farmers
of the eastern. part pf the state.
