WASHINGTON LETTER.
From Our Regular Correspondent.
WASHINGTON, d. c., May 2s,

From Our Regular Correspondent.
WASHINGTON, d. c., May 2s, 1897.
Those who expected anything
exciting in the tariff debate have
so far been disappointed. The
only set speeches were those made
by Senators Aldrich and Vest,
the first being largely explana-
tory of the amendments to the
bill and full of tables that are
Greek to everybody who is not an
expert in the matters with which
they deal. Mr.. Vests speech
was general, and at times char
acterized by the bitterness WHICH
he invariably injects into his
partisan speeches. After those
two speeches the bill was taken
up and is now being considered
by paragraphs. The republican
senators executed rather Shrewd
movement when they decided to
wash ali their dirty tariff linen
in private. 1t was quite discon
certing to the democrats, who
had been counting upon republ-
can dissensions to help them IN
fighting the bill and in getting
changes made. These dissen-
sions exist, but they are to be
fought out before the steering
committee and caucus, and on the
floor of the senate the republicans
are to act together. If the repub-
licans can carry out the plan they
have adopted it ought to shorten
the tariff debate considerably.
A considerable number of prom
inent men have found the trial
of HI. Havemeyer, the sugar trust
1nagnate much more interesting
than the tariff debate. The court
room has been crowded until there
was only standing room left
every day since the trial began,
and hundreds have been unable
to get in. The best fight that
the highest-priced lawyers in the
country can put up is being made
to save Havemeyer from jail
sentence, similar to the one now
being served by Chapman, the
New York broker, who was con-
victed of the same offense---con-
tempt---for refusing to answer
questions asked by a senate in
vestigating committee. 1t Have
meyer is convicted the case will
be appealed all the way to the U.
S. supreme court.
At a dinner given this week by
Senator Hanna and attended by
Senator Foraker and ten Ohio
members of the house it was ar
ranged that the senators and
members from Ohio should dc
their best to get the wool sched-
ule of the original Dingley bill
reinstated, and that the tax or
tea and the increased tax on bee'
should be fought. Unless some

Thos. Bair. wife and children, who
left their home in Miner county two
years ago to take up their residence in

morning, on the way back to old Miner
again. The family drove overland the
entire distance, over 1900 miles, leav-
ing Huntsville, Alabama, on March End
last occupying eighty-one days in max
ing the journey. Mr.. Bair bought a
farm in northern Alabama two years
ago, and tried to make living on it,
according to northern ideas, but he
found greater obstacles to overcome
than any he had ever, met with,in pa-
kota. The first year was droqsls aud

for the tea and beer tax they will
both be defeated by republican
detection, Notwithstanding the
statement of Senator Aldrich that
without them there will be de-
fcit under the new tariff. 1t is
doubtful whether as much money
could be raised in any other way
that would be as little felt by the
general public as by that proposed
increase of "a cents barrel in
the tax on beer, but the brewers
don't want it, and he who doubts
the political power of the brewers
simply lacks information which
can easily be acquired.
The action Of the civil service
commission in radically changing
some of the examinations given
to applicants for positions in some
branches of the government ser
vice, the changes all being in the
line of making the examinations
deal more nearly with the practi-
cal work required of the holder of
the place sought, is proof of the
strength OF the fight that is being
waged against the civil service
law and rules as at present con-
strued.
Commander John n. Quacken-
bush, who was this week by an
official order of the navy depart
ment reinstated in the active SER
vice of the navy from August 1,
1888, and placed on the retired
list from June /, 1895, will get
something like $4,000 as back
pay. He was dismissed from the
navy by a court-martial, but got
a bill through congress, which
Mr.. Cleveland allowed to become
a law without his signature, re-
storing him as above stated. The
order for his reinstatement was
delayed until now, for some
reason.
Those who are in favor of
prompt and decisive action by
country towards Cuba are not at
all pleased with the situation.
They had supposed, not from
anything that President McKin-
ley himself said, but from re-
marks made by those who were
credited with being in his conf
dence, that immediate action was
contemplated, but they have this
week learned from various sources
that nothing is likely to be done
for some time. In fact, that the
president will not definitely de-
eide on what he will attempt tc
do until his friend, Mr.. Calhoun,
returns from Cuba and tells hin
what he has found out there, and
Mr.. Calhoun is not exp ected bach
until we'll into the month of June
There is nothing left for those
who are impatient except to be
as patient as they can. Nothing
but a majority of the house can
overcome the refusal Of Speaker
Reed to allow the Morgan bellig-
erency resolution to get before
the house, and there isn't the
slightest probability at this time
that anybody can secure that. A
any rate, it is a consolation te
know that Consul General Lee
has reported that the immediate
needs of destitute American citi.
zens in Cuba have been supplied

RUBS ON THE RAW

Congressman GrOSvenOr's speech, in
denunciation of civil service is still the
subject of much talk. Coming from an
Ohio congressman andconfidential ad-
visor of McKinley's, it was supposed 10
reflect the presidents convictions. as il
did that Of the last Ohio Republican
convention, which denounced Cleve-
lands steal in the strongest terms, But
subsequent events seem TO show that
Mr.. Mckinley looks at it differently.
Cleveland preached civil service reform
continuously during both of his admin
istratlOns. but while talking to the coun-
try one thing he was actively doing the
other thing. He removed every Repub-
lican Office holder in the land save a
very few, not in number sufficient 10
constitute an exception, and these few
he had string TO. Civil service. as
now maintained under existing laws
and orders. means an ariStocracy of
office holders in the very near future.
Only as TO few elective offices will the
people have anything to say. Cleveland
has fifty Thousand or more political and
personal friends in Office now. He put
them there. and they are going to stay
there. Republicans are not patriotic
enough TO fill these positions, and be-
sides they lack the intelligence. The
mugwump civil service commission only
and alone know who are fit for office.
A Democrat just out of the penitentiary
under their rule, goes down on their list
rs being entitled 10 Office if such scoun-
drel is only smart enough TO answer
tnelr fool technical questions, and
scoundrels are always smart. Solid cit

under the civil service law. The as
pirant who can tell the exact longitude |
Of Iadpole's tail in three DAYS and
