Washington Letter.
[From our regular Correspomluit ]
Washington, I). C., Oct. 28.
A s the time lor the assembling of Congress
draws near, the heads of departments and
others who have business with the legislative
branch are getting their houses in order. As
this is to fie the short session—the 4oth Con
gress expiring by limitation March 4 next—
it is to be Imped that it will Do devoted whol
ly to public business—that there wifi be an
escape from the usual discord of Congression
al wind instruments and the beating of tom
toms for political effect or personal notoriety.
This will be the case unless Radicals
schemers, in tiieir frantic effort< to resist the
current of events, give themselves up to sys-1
tematie obstruction. The House, since it be-!
came Democratic, has been t e great nation-
al bulwark of economy, and but for the ob
stacles interposed by a Republican Senate,
would have accomplished much more, in much
less time. It is therefore safe to predict that
when both Houses come under Democratic
control, the public business will be promptly
transacted, and the people’s interest zealous
ly guarded.
One result of the retrenchment policy of
the House, may’ he seen in the estimates to
be submitted to Congress for next year’s ap
propriations. At the last Cabinet meeting
these estimates were considered and agreed
upon. With the single exception of the Post
Office Department, all the estimates are very
much lower than any submitted sinee 1874.
This is either a confession on the part of the
Republican Administration, that the policy
so persistently adhered to by the Democratic
House is right, or these officials are playing
double for a purpose. To be suspicious of a
fraudulent administration is natural enough,
and there is good reason to suspect that this
coming down so gracefully to the amounts
generally allowed by the House is not a sin
cere movement in the direction of economy’.
Sly and unscrupulous old John Sherman, for
instance, put his figures down several hun
dred thousand dollars below his estimate last
session for the current year. Yet your cor
respondent will wager all his old boots and
shoes that John Sherman intends to expend
more than he has asked, and that his defi
ciency bills will call for good round sums
when they come in a year hence. It would
be a very’ funny thing if these radicals, afler
making such a terrible howl about “Demo
cratic stinginess,” and charging that the pub
lic business was being “crippled”—when, in
fact, there are still hundreds of superfluous
and almost idle clerks—had at last been con
verted, and resolved to make a clean breast
of it. They would thus confess that. thev
have heretofore asked for more money than
was really needed, just as radical rule has
from the first to the last been a reign of ex
travagance and corrupt practices. lam not
inclined to think the present administration
has any such praiseworthy object, but that
there is a motive for its action deeper than
appears on the surface. They wish to avoid
an extra session of the Senate after March 4.
as it would then reorganize and elect Demo
cratic officers, and perhaps otherwise inter
fere with radical schemes. 'These few offices
are a small matter, but office-holding is the
chief industry' of the Republican party, and
it gives them cramps and cold chills to think
they must so soon go out of the business en
tirelv.
Cos!. Ilenry C. I)e Alina delivered his lec
ture on Civil Service in general and the ways
of a fraudulent administration in particular,
atTalmadge hall the other evening. It was
pointed and full of what Artemus Ward used
to call “sarkasm.” Briefly, and without at
tempting to portray his graphic lecture, the
history of the case is this :
The Colonel, who is a German-born adopt
ed citizen, earned his military title by ser
vice in the war. He recently found himself
with influence but no money, and when this
7xß Administration came in he was highly
recommended for a good position, which was
promised. Finally, the office of Collector of
CUstoms for Alaska was tendered him, and
upon consideration accepted. He filed his
bond and prepared to leave with his family
on a 3,000 mile journey, the expenses of
which was about $1,000.' Meanwhile he had
learned something about the Alaska Fur Com
pany, a gigantic monopoly which controls, by
special privileges from the Treasury Depart
ment, the entire seal fishing of the coast and
islands of Alaska, at a profit of millions of
dollars annually. Its headquarters are in
San Francisco, and it keeps secret emissaries
where they can be useful, with an agent and
lobbyist here in Washington to prevent ad
verse legislation. No information of its ille
gal acts are permitted to reach headquarters,
as all communications of that character are
lost in the mails or disappear in some myste
rious manner. By law, not to exceed a cer
tain number of seals are to be killed annual
ly. This company, it is said, kills many
times that number, yet no official or anthori
tive knowledge of the fact ever reaches head
quarters. Every agent of the Government
sent there is bought off and his report falsi
fied. John Sherman is believed to have an
interest in this company, and when he found
that De Alma was a fearless, incorruptible
man, lie went secretly to work to overthrow
him. Before leaving, the Col. had lunched
with Haves, who counseled him to do his
duty, and if need be communicate with him
direct. He gave him the most positive as
surance that he would stand by him to the
last. Upon this the Col. felt pretty secure,
and at San Francisco lie expended his last
'dollar for furniture and other necessaries of
life in that barren region to which lie was
going, and embarked with these etfeets for
Alaska. The steamer made a stop at some
port, a few hundred miles from San Francis
co, and there a dispatch from John Sherman
was handed Col. I)e Alma, informing him that
he was not in Government employ. It was
a clap ol thunder in a clear skv. lie pawned
his wife's watch for the charges, and tele
graphed to Hayes. No answer. He tele
graphed to Carl Soliruz with the same result.
Thousands of miles from horns with not a
dollar and no friends—this was certainly a
dilema. I will not relate the hardships that
followed in getting back to Washington—
how he sold all his wife's jewelry and every
article of value they possessed, and resorted
to the kind offices of strangers—but they
finally got here, lie called on Hayes, who
met him with the same bland manner an 1 in
sincere smile, but gave him no satisfaction,
’his is characteristic of II ayes. He is a fraud
m mo;e senses than one. I could give in
stances where influential men in his own par
ty have left!ha White House with full assur
ances that an appointment they had asked
would be m de an 1 returned to the Senate an
hour later to h ar lead the name of some oth
jr fellow sent . n for confirmation. A true
nan in the Pr ■sident ial otli -e would have sus
:->ie 1 !)■ All -i against the meehaninaliou<
ol John Shenn m. Ile eoul 1, at, least, have
in lie partial reparat on for the injury done
by reimbursing him out of Mr. Til leu’s sala
ry. Any man drawing sf/1.000 per year be
longing to another could afford to be that lib
eral at least. Phono.
Ur-Opening it M'JidroieJUitm
Tn order to guard against results utterly sub
versive of health, it i-i absolutely essential that
the grand thoroughfare or avenue of the system,
the bowels, should bo re-opened as speedily as
possible when they become obstructed. If' they
are not, the bile is misdirected into flic blood;
tbc.J.ivejf becomes torpid ; viscid bilious matter
get,-- into the stomach, and produces indigestion :
headaches ensue, and other symptoms are pro
duced, which a prolongation o 'the exciting cause
only tends to aggravate. The aperient properties
of Ilostetter’s Stomach Bitters constitute a most
useful agent in overcoming co istriction of the
bowels, and promoting a regular habit of body. !
It is infinitely superior to the drastic cathartics
frequently used for the purpose, since it does not,
like them, act violently, but pro luces a natural, !
painless effect, which does not impair the tone of
the evacuatory organs, which it invigorates in- |
stead of weakening. The stoma -h and liver, also,
indeed the entire system, is strengthened and
regulated by it.
