WASHINGTON LETTER.

Washington, July 9.-The Pension
COmmiSsiOnership scandal is the
event of the week in Washington. On
all sides denunciations, vigorous or
mild, are being heard Of General Sick
les course in the matter, some of the
most severe being uttered by his COM
be moved rather by the painful
amateurishneSS of General Sickles in
giving them away than by any of re-
gret or disapprobation of the bargain
and sale methods which he and the
G. A. r. according to the
General-adopted. One thing is GER
tain as a result of the scandal, that
whether the President did agree to
remove Commissioner Evans in re-
turn for G. A. R. support, or whether
Senator Scott, of West Virginia, made
a promise that he would do so with
out authority from the President, or
whether General Sickles does not tell
the truth about Senator Scott's as
SertiOn (as the latter declares), in
any case, President Mckinley will not
now dare remove Mr.. Evans for
months or years to come, whatever
he may have intended to do before
General Sickles sprang into the arena.
AS General Sickles was once a warm
supporter of Commissioner Evans,
some curiosity as to the quarrel be-
tween them has been aroused. 1t
seems that this resulted over the
meaning of the law on which Mr..
Evans and General Sickles were un-
able to agree, and which was referred
to Attorney-Genera Griggs for con-
struction. Mr.. Griggs decided in favor
Of Mr.. Evans contention; hence the
quartet.
A letter has been received from Mr..
BabcOck, of Wisconsin, who is now in
Austria, setting forth his position on
the tariff question. He says: Many
papers have misrepresented me, and
without ground or reason. have
stated my idea through the press, and
it is this: Where articles can be made
cheaper in this country than in any
other, and where they have in fact be-
come articles of export, they should
go on the free list if we are consistent
with our Republican ideas Of protec-
tiOn. 1t makes no difference whether
they be made by an individual or a
trust. If our tariff is used solely to
make prices at home higher than
abroad, then there is all the more rea-
son why the tariff should come of.
Can anyone deny this proposition!
In order to say something, some Of
the papers try to make me out a
free trader, and claim that 1 endorse
the Democratic idea that all trust
made goods should go on the free list.
This is simply rot and write this
that you may know just what my
views are" Mr.. Babcock would have
done better had he explained just why
this is rot and in what way his ideas
differ from those that have been urged
Oy the Democrats in the last two Con-
crosses.
Even if the Pan-American Congress
is partly a failure, owing to the dis
pute over arbitration, it is thought
