CARLISLE IN HIS OFFICE.
Bushels oi Letters Come to Him Every
Day.

Sorts of People—Cranks and Bankers
Cnit%in SuffKestinK Schemes-Some
Samples of a Queer Lot.
K. <5 Carpenter, in New York Press.
Washington, Sept. I.—Every one is
D mv thinking of the treasury depart
u., ut. It is the financial pulse of the
l ed States. Put your finger on it and
vou can tell just how smoothly the silver
an cold blood is flowing through the
hody of our country. Just now this
pu ,o is jumping at fever heat. It is
visited daily by men from all parts of
the United States. Bankors and wage
earners come here alike to see the Secre
tary of the Treasury. There are women
as well as men, and a long haired old
lady from Kentucky haunts the corridors.
The press is, in fact, so great that Secre
tary Carlisle will not see any one who
has anew scheme to propose. The
schemer is met by one of the watch dogs
of the treasury and is told that the sec
retary is too busy. Even at the secre
tary's home on K street the pressure of
office cranks and theorists is
great.
Mr. Carlisle is usually at his desk a
short time after 9. His mail has already
been opened and the greater part disposed
of A vast number of the letters which
are addressed to the Secretary of the
Treasury never meet his eye. It takes
several clerks to merely open the envel
opes.
He is looking well. He has had some
trouble with his right arm, but his eye is
bright and his complexion is good.
He disposes of matters very
rapidly. He lets his subordinates
attend to almost all the details of the de
partment. It was the lack of ability to
do this that killed Secretary Folger, and
it is said that Daniel Manning might
have been alive to-day had he possessed
it From about 10 o’clock the congress
men and senators began to come in. The
most of them the day I was there wanted
offices for their constituents, and only a
few talked finance. Senator Joe Black
burn came in and stood awhile talking,
lie smiled as he left, and I judge ho got
what he wanted. At 11:30'the room was
about empty. Secretary Carlisle re
ceives callers during only two days
of the week, and this "morning
there were none received after
13. At this time the secretary
went to the consideration of his official
duties and worked right along until after
4. taking a half hour at 1 o'clock for
luncheon. He works Sunday as well as
week days, but he tries to forget his work
in the evenings. Every morning there are
a large number of letters from all parts of
the country describing the troubles of the
different sections as to the money mar
kets, and urging him to do something for
their relief. A large yart of the mail is
made up of schemes and theories. Many
of the letters tell him how to deal with
the gold and silver ([Uestion. Some advise
as to the ratio and others advocate the
establishment of banks and bank
ing systems. Many of these letters
are from bankers of acknowledged
reputation, and 1 saw some from Henry
Clews of New York, Wharton Barker of
Philadelphia, and others. The majority
of the letters, however, were from
cranks. I looked over perhaps a bushel
of them this morning. Some were writ
ten in pencil upon old old newspapers,
others on Wanks us large as a sheet of
wrapping paper, und some were in type
writers, of which the following are speci
mens:
"We, though humble farmers, would
like to ask your honor a few questions
concerning the financial situation of our
country. What has caused the Demo
cratic party to depart from Jeffersonian
principles on the silver question! ** *
We have the utmost confidence in you as
a financier, but we fail to see anything
but discrimination against silver under
Cleveland's administration.”
A big Cincinnati business man intro
duces himself as follows;
"My Dear Sir—Drops from heaven
make oceans. Drops from individuals
have been known to change governments.
A drop from one as obscure as myself
aiight work wonders.”
The man then goes on to say that the
people have lost confidence in the national
banks, and he would liavo them amended
so that no one connected with a bank,
from the president down, should have the
right to borrow of the bank.
A letter from one of the best known
New York bankers, in speaking of the
stringency of the money market, says:
"Why, I had a man in my office to-day
who owes only $280,000 and who has prop
erty which, at an extremely low valua
tion. is worth more than $1,500,000. He
cannot get extensions and he will have to
fail.”
This hanker urges that something be
done at once, and he says that congress
will have a corpse to deal with if it does
not act very soon.
aimer from a Baltimore banker reads
as follows:
"Asa sound democrat, a Cleveland man
ami a believer in arithmetic, I protest
against any refusal to redeem the treas
ury notes of 1890 in gold.” The letter
than goes onto say why he protests and
to predict a panic.
Some of the letters camo from foreign
countries. A famous bimetallist of Kug
n id writes fifteen pages of typewriting,
showing how his scheme will solve the
currency question, and there is a letter
from one of the most famous ex-senators
of the south advising Secretary Carlise to
adept his views and thereby become the
"aexi President of the United States.”
A largo part of the correspondence is
m <1 with denunciations of Wall street.
A letter from a Pennsylvania lawyer
reads:
and or God’s sake Steep our country out
m the hands of the financial kings, the
bullion brokers, the railroad wreckers,
toe stock gamblers and such like gangs.”
I lie letter goes on in favor of free coin
age.
1 'ne of these anti-banking letters is
" utren on eight thin strips of paper about
V in-dies wide and twelve inches long,
it is closed with a request that the
l iter bo pardoned for not copying his
[■"tes. us lies is very busy. His eight pages
begin as follows:
A our position of relying upon views of

Another letter from Tennessee de
duces the Wall street brokers as

a large number of these letters suggest
ious ways of getting our silverinto cir
vUiiU'on. One is as follows:
” dmlngton, ill.,*Aug. S, 1893.--To Secre
tary United States Treasury. Wnrtlngton
Why not pay the pensions 1U silver' Yours
respectfully.
(Signed.) %
A Now York letter on a page of legal
cap advises Secretary Carlisle to see that
silver banks be created and that the sil
ver war be closed in this way. Another
advises that silver be shipped out of the
country in the place of $1 and $3 notes,
and states that the women of the United
States would so object to the use of the
silver dollar that no man would dare to
raise his voice in favor of it. On the
other hand, a farmer telegraphs from
Wisconsin asking that silver be kept as
the standard of value, and another farmer
writes as follows in favor of greenbacks:
“If you have the power, for God’s sake
issue greenbacks enough to relieve the
present strain and save the jtoople of the
west from financial ruin! The general
sentiment of the people #ill sustain you.”
A Chicago man wants the one, two and
five cent pieces made of silver instead of
copper and nickel.
An Illinois statesman wants $300,000,000
of twenty-year 3 per cent, bonds issued
at once, and national banks to be formed
on them as a basis.
And so I might, go on and quote a hun
dred more curious schemes and ideas
which are presented to the Secretary of
the Treasury dally.
HELP FOR MISS POLLARD.
Mrs. Luke Blackburn Likely to
Testify Against Col. Breckinridge.
From the New York World.
Lexington, Ky., Sept. I.—Several im
portant facts have come to light in con
nection with Miss Madeline Pollard’s suit
against Representative W. C. P. Breck
inridge, which will have an influential
bearing upon the result.
It seems that when the suit was brought
Gen. Basil Duke wa9 interviewed by a re
porter of a Louisville paper. Col. Breck
inridge served with Gen. Duke during
the war, and the two have been warm
friends for a period anterior even to that.
Gen. Duke naturally plead for a suspen
sion of judgment, and while not express
ing the belief that there was no founda
tion for such an action, discredited the
charge of seduction, in short, he made
the best defense he could make for his
friend.
Soon after this interview appeared it is
said Gen. Duke received a letter from
Mrs. Blackburn. Owing to the close re
lations that Gen. Duke had with the late
Luke P. Blackburn, oad the no less cor
dial friendship which had ahvays existed
between Mrs. Blackburn and himself and
his family, that lady felt justified in ad
dressing him on the delicate subject. She
told him that had he known the facts he
would not have undertaken to defend Col.
Breckinridge. She went on to say in sub
stance that tlie latter had told her of his
engagement with Miss Pollard, had placed
Miss Pollard under her ehaperonage. and
had specially requested Mrs. Blackburn’s
kindest consideration for Miss Pollard on
the ground that she would soon become
Mrs. Breckinridge. Mrs. Blackburn, of
course, entirely unconscious of the rela
tions existing between the two, ac
cepted the charge, permitted Miss Pollard
to share all the social recognition she her
self received, and even invited her
to accompany herself and Mrs. Zane
to the springs. Mrs. Blackburn was in
dignant beyond expression when the dis
closures made by the suit appeared in the
papers. In her letter to Gen. Duke she
freely expressed her deep sense of wrong
and outrage, and characterized the con
duct of Col. Breckinridge in the strongest
terms she could cornmand. She con
cluded with the declaration that were
her husband alive ho would hold Breck
inridge personally accountable for the
indignity and insult she had been of
fered.
It appears further that Senator Joe
Blackburn, who was half-brother to the
late Gov. Blackburn, became acquainted
with the relations existing between Col.
Breckinridge and Miss Pollard, and when
he heard how r Mrs. Blackburn had been
imposed on he declared on several occa
sions and without secrecy that he intend
ed holding Breckinridge responsible for
his conduct. The suit followed, however,
and the presumption is that Senator
Blackburn decided to await its result be
fore taking action.
Mrs. Luke Blackburn has always held
a high position in society. She was a
Miss Churchill of English stock, and col
laterally descended from the famous Duke
of Mariborpugh. John Churchill, one of
the younget sons of the family, came to
this country about the middle of the last
century and settled in Middlesex county,
Va. The old liemestead is still there, a
well preserved relic of colonial architect
ure. The Kentucky branch of the family
have all been persons of wealth and social
importance. Mrs. Blackburn and Mrs.
Zane. her widowed sister, have spent
their winters in Washington for several
years and were recognized leaders of the
southern society of that city.
The late Gov. Luke P. Blackburn be
came famous both as a physician and a
politician. He was courageous to rash
ness and would have resented the slightest
reflection upon any mum her of his family.
The opinion prevails that if the case
ever comes to trial it will not be tried in
Washington. The constitution provides
that "senators and representatives shall,
in all eases except treason, felony and
breach of the peace, be privileged from
arrest during their atteneunce at the ses
sions of their respective houses and in
going to and returning from the same.”
The supreme court has decided that the
privilege exempts congressmen from the
obligation of answering a civil as well as
a criminal process under the conditions
stated, as “arrest” is known as a civil as
well as a criminal process. It is probable
that Col. Breckinridge will take advan
tage of this clause and plead his privi
lege. In such an event the case would be
dismissed without prejudice and an ac
tion instituted elsewhere, or a now ser
vice served in Washington at some time
when the defendant is not in “atten
dance” on the sessions of congress.
Should the case come to trial during
the life of Mrs. Blackburn she will prove
an important vvitnesss. Though shrink
ing in womanly modesty, from the ordeal
and deeply deploring the notoriety, she is
reported rs being so indignant that she
will not hesitate to respond to a summons
for her presence in court. Her testimony
will be corroborated, if corroboration is
needed, by the evidence of Mrs. Zane,
who is cognizant of the facts and was
likewise a victim of the indignity.
ASKED HER HAND BY LETTER.
From the Louisville Courier-Journal.
Manchester, Ky., Aug. 31.—Miss Made
line Pollard, who has sued Col. Breckin
ridge. has a sister, Mrs. Stroeve, wife of
the Methodist preacher, and a brother,
Ernest Pollard, living at London, Ky.
Mrs. Stroeve is quite an intelligent, re
fined and cultured woman ; and is hand
some, while the brother is an energetic
and business-like young clerk, and is well
thought of by his associates and employ
ers.
It has been stated that Mrs. Pollard
received, while on a visit to London last
year, letters from Col. Breckinridge ask
ing her daughter's hand in marrige, and
the old woman, being proud of the pro
posal, freely gave her consent.
Some damaging testimony and letters
from Breckinridge to London will be in
troduced at the trial.

SOME QUAINT EPITAPHS.
Found Here and There in the Mother
Country.
From the London Funeral Directors'Journal.
The following in Penrith churchyard
is refreshing in these days of deceit, on
account of its candor:
“Here lies the man Kiehard and Mary his
wife;
Their surname was Pritchard, aad they lived
without strife.
The reason was plain—they abounded in
riches;
They had no care nor pain, and the wife wore
the breeches.”
The owner of this inscription, now rest
ing in Hebbum churchyard, was proba
bly a democrat and had some little opin
ion of himself:
"This humble monument will show.
Here lies an honest man:
You kings, whose heads are now as low.
Rise higher if you caul"
John Dale was a courageous man. This
is the epitaph over his remains in Bake
well churchyard, Derbyshire.
“Know posterity that on the Bth of
April, in the year of grace 1737, the ram
bling remains of John Dale were, in the
86th year of his pilgrimage, laid upon his
two wives:
This thing m life might raise some jealousy;
Here all three lie together lovingly.
One epitaph in Ilfracombe churchyard
shows faith:
"Weep not for me. my friends so dear,
I am not dead, uut sleeping here;
My debt is paid my grave is free,
And In due course you'll come to me.”
Not far from this we have an example
of quiet self-glorification:
“Here lies a kind and loving wife,
A tender nursing mothor—
A neighbor free from brawl and sirife,
A pattern for all others.”
Evidently marriage was not n failure in
this case.
What follows was formerly on a tomb
stono in St. Thomas's churchyard, Salis
bury :
"Here lies three babes dead as nits,
God took them off in agle fits;
They was too good to live wi' we.
So he took 'em onto live wl ee.”
Who dares utter the foul slander that
it requires a surgical operation to get a
joke into the head of a Scotchman! Let
him or her cast an eye over the following,
and then sit silent forever. It is on a
gravestone in Stonehaven churchyard:
“The place whaur Betty Cooper lies
Is here or here aboot;
The pluce whatr Betty Cooper lies
There's neon can flu’ it opt:
The place where Betty Cooper lies
'there’s neen on earth can tell,
Till at the resurrection day,
When Betty tells hersol’.”
