OUR W.kSHINGTON LETTER.

WASHINGTON. d. c., October 25th
Mr.. EDIToR-"Help. help, help.."
That is the sum and substance of the tale
of woe poured into Mr.. McKinley's ear by
Boss Plat, who made a flying trip to
Washin gton to tell Mr. Mckinley that
everything was going against the Platt-
Mckinley candidate for Mayor of New
York, and that there was also great dan
ger that the republicans would also lose
control of the legislature. He tried to
persuade Mr.. Mckinley to write a person
al letter for publication, favoring Tracy,
and almost, but not quite, succeeded. Mr..
Mckinley has the matter under advise
ment and is rather inclined to do what
Plat wants him to do, but several of the
shrewdest members of his Cabinet are try
ing to show him that it would be unwise
for him to do 50. They tell him that
everybody in New York knows him to be
in favor of Tracy, and that a letter signed
by him, making that declaration, would
not get Tracy single vote that he would
not get anyway, while it would be Il bar
to the administration denying after Tracy :
defeat that it had sought to force Boss
Plat man on the people of New York.
Hypocrisy is the most contemplate of
vices Only last week it was announced
with Il great flourish Of trumpets that the
Cabinet had decided to enforce Mr.. Nc
ipla civil S.r,-ina nrlar h.t
eminent employee should be discharged cx-
cept upon written charges and after bein g
given an opportunity to answer the
charges, Notwithstanding the decision of "a
Court that the order was not binding in
law; and now those Ohio republicans en-
ployed by the Government in Washing
ton, who had declined to go home to vote
to help get Boss Hanna back in the Senate
have been notified that Mr.. Sidney A.
Perkins, who is known as Boss Hanna 5
| personal representative i'll Washin gton,
has put their names upon black list which
is to be turned over to Boss Hanna when
he comes back to Washington, after the
Ohio election. OF course Mr.. Perkins
hasn't told any Of those put upon the black
| list that Boss Hanna intends to have them
| discharged if they do not go to Ohio and
vote for him, but that is what he wishes
them to suppose and some of them regard
the hint us being sufficiently strong to
cause them to change their minds and de-
eide to go home and vote. They know
that no matter how much the Cabinet may
pirate in public about protecting the civil
service employees Of the government, that
Il nod from Boss Hanna is sufficient tC
bring about the dismissal of an employee in
any branch of the government All the
news that comes to Washington indicates
that Boss Hanna is very badly frightened
man over the prospects of his defeat, and

Monday morning and nineteen persons
were killed
This village is summer resort, in
Putnam county, fifty miles north of New
York city. 1t is opposite West Point.
There was nothing to presage the acct
dent which so suddenly deprived the
nineteen unfortunates of life. The train
left Buffalo Sunday night. 1t had pro-
crossed nearly nine-tenths of the dis
lance toward its destination, and the first
streaks of dawn were appearing when the
locomotive plunged into the muddy depths
of the river.
Neither the engineman nor fireman will
ever tell the story of that terrible moment
for, with his hand upon the throttle, the
engineman plunged to the river bottom
and the fireman, too, met death AT his
post Behind them came an express car,
il combination car and three sleeping
cars. and these piled on top of the loco
motive.

silver men among the republicans as well
as among the democrats and populists who

for an official explanation of the stories
alleging that while the Wolcott commits

in the name of the United States, to secure
international bimetallism, the government
of the United States gave the government
of England to understand that no such CO.

REVISION OF
THE CURRENCY.

The monetary commission has adjourn
when it reconvened after short recess,
much important work has been done. In
the past two weeks and up to the adjourn
ment last Friday, each of the sub-com-
mittees had made considerable progress
in the investigation of the subject assign
ed to it, and partial reports from these
subcommittee had been submitted to the
whole commission and thoroughly discuss
ed
Were the work of the commission simply
to determine what would be an ideal cur
rency and banking system its task would
be much simpler but it is regarded as a
formulate measure that will go through
Congress and meet with general popular
support. Upon this subject there has
been considerable discussion in the com
itself to the recommendation of such a
measure as it believes Congress will pass
at this season, or devise what it believes
to be an ideal system of currency and
and banking, which shall serve as basis
for not only such legislation as Congress
is willing to enact at present but for all
future legis lation upon the subject.
One thing that has been made perfectly
clear by the discussion up to date is that
the commission will not recommend that
Congress undertake any radical changes
in the monetary system of the country
that would be likely to produce tlGctua-
ton of prices or uncertainties as to the
future. Whatever changes are recommen-
ded will be of a character SO gradual that
they will not create any disturbance in
financial or commercial affairs. Such
changes can be made the more readily be
cause, under the present prosperous con-
ditions, with the balance of trade in our
favor, there seems no likelihood of Il
financial stringency of commercial dis
turbance for some years to come, and
there is no immediate need of radical
change.
The suggestions and appeals that have
reached the commission by mail have come
from every State in the Union and from
all classes of people. Farmers, business
men, bankers and students have written
calling attention to this or that need, or
making suggestions that they believe
would be of value In this way the men,
bers of the commission feel that they have
gained very fair index of popular opinion
upon the various phases of the currency
and banking questions before them.

MAGNANIMOUS MIR. NUDE

In his speech here Oh Tuesday Mr..
Mudd said: 1T does not make any
difference who the Republican Senator
may be; and | want it distinctly un-
derstood now that | am not making
any appeal for not pushing the cand:-
'acy of any one" Magnanimous Mr..
Mudd. lie is ready toaccept "Lowndes
or Gary or Shaw or McComas or any
other of the cool men whose names
have been mentioned" Has he for
gotten that this same Lowndcs is the
man wEo recently went for his
friends in the tobacco warehouses and
tried in every possible way to break
down his influence! Scnsibl5 people
wont believe such twaddle. Why did
Mr.. Mudd run the conventions in
Southern Maryland, and have his own
staunch friends nominated for the Leg
islature, if he is willing for Lowndes to
be Senator.
The people can't be hoodwinked in
this way. Mr.. Mudd, himself, is the
"any other good Republican, he is
working for, and he might as we'll come
out into the open and confess it.
