WASHINGTON LETTER.
rom Our Regular Correspondent.

From Our Regular Correspondent.
WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan. S. 1897.
The bad case of jirgoism with
which the senate was suffering
when the holiday recess was talk
en- has been entirely cured by the
copious doses of soothing syrup
administered during the recess by
Dr.. public opinion. Senator
Cameron, the author of the reso-
luton which was reported from
the senate committee on foreign
relations at the most acute stage
of the disease, concluded that it
was pleasanter to remain on the
island he owns off the coast of
South Carolina than to sit Up
with his dying resolution and has
not yet returned to Washington.
There are a few senators who
still show traces of jingoism,
among them Mr.. Call, of Fla,
who this week made a speech on
Cuba, in connection with his reso-
luton calling on the state depart
ment for all the correspondence
in the case of Julio Sanguilly
newspaper correspondent sem
fenced to life imprisonment for
alleged completely in the Cuban
rebellion. Mr.. Call was very
b1 tier in some of his remarks, de-
cla1'ing among other things that
the whole power of the u. S.
was being used to protect and
continue the present condition of
affairs in Cuba. His speech
might have attracted more atten-
ton had not everybody known
that he is making a hard fight
for reelection and that many rich
and influential Cubans are resi-
dents of his state. Representa-
tive Sulzer, of N. Y, had mild
attack of jingoism, but he seemed

would seem that turn upward
could not be postponed much
longer. The forces of reaction,
which must inevitably reveal
themselves sooner Or later, ought
to begin to appear at an early
day. Business delineated and
visualized in graphic lines resem-
bles the seas surface. 1t is in
waves, the crests and troughs of
which respectively are separated
by intervals of approximately
equal length. The country has
been in the trough of the business
sea so long that swing toward
it's crest must be near at hand.
There are also tangible and
positive reasons for assuming
that the upward movement is
nigh. The condition chiefly re-
sponsible for all the depression of
1896 peculiar to that year has
been removed. This was the
dishonest money menace which
the Chicago convention brought
and which the election ended.
This particular disturbing factor
is banished for nearly four years
at least, and probably forever
The present currency system is
safe from further assaults. The
continuous treasury deficits, which
have been a source of uneasiness
for three years, cannot last much
longer, for the congress which
will end them will undoubtedly
be called in April, and the act
providing abundant revenue will
go on the statute book before the
summer ends. OF course, the
same law will also provide the
protection which the industries
need, and thus be doubly beneh-
clal to trade. Stocks of all sorts
of goods are low, owing to the
uncertainty of the business out
look for the past two or three
years, and this will necessitate
unusual activity in all branches
of industry when the upward turn
begins. The immediate pros
poets, that is to say, are more
favorable than they have been for
long time past. Apparently a
business rally which will be last
ing is not far distant. 1t is safe
to predict that the country will
have started to climb out of the
financial Slough Of Despond long
before 1897 ends.

Secretary Herbert's report to
congress on his investigation of
the cost of armor plates for naval
vessels is commended as a very
thorough piece of work, although
it is not especially pleasing eth
er to the two Establishments
which monopolize the making of
arnor plate or to those who adj
voCate the tabliShment of a
government plant for its manu-
facture. Secretary Herbert does
not think it would be wise for the
government to make its own ar
NOR, and he makes it plain that
| the Carnegie and Bethlehem COM
panies have been charging the
government extortionate prices as
the result of an agreement be-
tween them to divide this work.
His remedy is to pay $500 ton
| for the artnor, instead of S5S3,
the present price, and he presents
figures which show that this
would allow the makers a profit
of something like $50 a ton.
The investigation was made by
direction of congress.
Notwithstanding the enormous
amount spent by the government
to keep IN safety the records of
it's business, it is every now and
then demonstrated that such of
these records as some people may
wish to destroy often disappear
without leaving trace. Only
this week Assistant Secretary
CARTS, Of the treasury, in an Off
cial communication notified the
senate that some of the papers
showing the amount due the Pa
ciic Railroads sinking fund on
account of the subsidies paid the
Pacific Mail Steamship Co., which
had been called for by senate
resolution, could not be found.
Nothing could have made it
| palmer that there are two sides
to the tariff question than the
two opposing arguments to the
ways and means committee this
week in behalf of the farmers Of
Kansas. One insisted upon the
retention of the present tariff on
cattle, because the Kansas farm
ers could buy Mexican cattle and
fatten them for market and make
more money than they could by
raising the cattle, and the other
asked restoration of the Nc
Kinley tariff on cattle, because
the cattle ralserS of the state
were being ruined by the impor-
tation of Mexican cattle. Repre-
sentative Curtis stood by the last,
end said that if congress would
restore the duty Kansas would
lsee that the consumer paid no
more for his beef than he does
now.
Senator Chandler may have
meant business when lie gave
notice Of an amendment to the
legislative, executive and judicial
appropriation bill, providing that
for three years from the first of
next July all salaries paid by the
government shall be reduced ten
per cent, but the idea seems to
be regarded both in and out Of
congress as only a bit of bum
combe on that gentleman's part.

Seth Lows Use Of Wealth.

There is one curious feature in Mr..
Lows position in the community
where he has borne so conspicuous
part. / have never heard him
spoken of as rich man. Of course,
his inherited and acquired wealth
must be considerable. A man who
gives even one gift of a million dol
lars to a public object must have
property that the great mass Of his
fellow-citizens cannot help regarding
as large. But the fact is obscured by
the character, the spirit, the aim Of
the man, in truth, by the man him
self. In a time when great wealth
excites so much comment, when the
ignorant envy its owners and some of
the educated are jdevising schemes to
check its accumulation and even to
divide it, it is no small service to the
public that an example should be set
of wealth utterly forgotten in the per.
sonality of its possessor. To Mr..
Low his money has been literally
what people lightly call it-ample
means. The ends for which he has
EN- ployed it are both an honor to
him, and, in a wide and varied sense,
a beneficence to the community

ST. PAUL, July s.-Fourteen people
are now known to have been killed in

out the state. The storm was general
and it is impossible to estimate the
damage with any degree Of certainty.
The cyclone, which was central near
Glenwood, was one Of the worst that
ever struck the state. The telegraph
lines are down for 75 miles each side of
there and particulars are hard to get.
The list of dead at Glenwood, so far as
known, is as follows: Toliff Iavan,
Samuel Morrow, Mrs. Samuel Morrow,
Winnie Morrow and Cawald MCGOWAN.
Aside from these Alfred Morrow and q
baby year old were probably fatally
injured. The trainmen say . number
of other houses were blown from their
foundations by the storm and undoubt-

ris and wife are reported to have been
killed. Railroad traffic is paralyzed

has been done there. Crops have been
damaged to an irreparable extent and a
large amount of live stock was killed.

WASHINGTON, July 8.-The proposed

ommending the appointment of COM
mission to consider the question of a re.
vision of our currency and national
banking laws will not be transmitted
for several days, if it goes in at all,
which is a matter of doubt. The pres
ident is now undecided whether or not
to send in any message for the reason
that number Of the most important
leaders of the party in the house and
senate have made strong representations
to him of the inadvisability of sending
a message to congress while the tariff
bill is in conference. Senators Allison
and Quay, Representative Dingley and
other party leaders called at the White
House this morning and had along con-
ference with President Mckinley.
They urged HIM to reconsider his deter
mination to send a special currency mes
sage to congress, and gave as a reason
that the sentiment in congress was such
that it would be likely to arouse feeling
and cause friction that would delay
speedy final action on the tariff meas
ure. After the conference Secretary
Porter announced to the newspaper men
the decision as above stated.
