W..HIKUTOK, o. c., hre. deni 7 of —[St-reKIJ— In
i nero nas tieen n great gossip
Washington concerning Mr. Cleveland’s
blunt way of saying things which mem-
beta of congress and senators do not like.
Tn his message the president managed,
probably without Intention, to pour a lit¬
tle vinegar Into the wounds which were
caused by that sentence In a letter of bis
written some time ago in wbioh be spoke
of “having congress on hts hands’’ again
soon. Those passages tn the annual mes¬
sage to which members of the national
legislature take exception* are the one*
relating to the waatefulneae of seed distri¬
bution by congressmen and the relations of
congressmen to civil service reform. The
president’s objectionable words were as fol¬
lows: “It surely never could have entered
the minds of those who first sanctioned
appropriations of pubUo money for the
purchase of new and improved varieties of
seeds for gratuitous distribution that from
this would grow large appropriations tor
the purchase and distribution by members
of congress which of ordinary seeds, in bulbs alt and the
cuttings are common everywhere
states and territories and eas¬
ily obtainable at low prices. * * * Yet
this Indiscriminate and wasteful distribu¬
tion by legislation and legislators contin¬
ues, answering no purpose unlew it be to
remind constituent* that their representa¬
tive* are willing to remember them with
gratuities at public cost.’’
A Standing Joko.
There is note congressmen in Washing¬
ton who dow not know that the president
tells the truth in this matter. The seed
business bat for y<*n nothing hot a
cheep method of electioneering, ing, of of tickling
the fancy of constituents at b the the expense of
the government. The seed distribution
business bu become a standing joke, and
congressmen laugh at it as much a* any
one. They know it is a fares, and that It
is a mere waste of puhlic money, but they
do not like to have their attention called
to it by the president Of the United States.
They think the president should pay more
heed to their dignity and to the comity
which, according to tradition, exists be¬
tween the great oo-ordinate branches of
the government. They say it is not tha
business of Mr. Cleveland to lecture them
over such a small matter,
the reform which the pn
that of abolition of the at
be a wholesome one, but they
why he dow not recommend bis reform, it
he is determined to have it, without rap¬
ping them over the knuckles. This is just
where tbs fun oomw in, for the president
appear* to be Inordinately fond of taking
a crack at his friends on the bill.
In his little discourse about civil service
reform the president nibbed the congres¬
sional tor the wrong way when he said,
“The law embodying this reform found its
way into the statute book more from fear
of the popular sentiment existing in its
favor than from any love for therefonn It¬
self on the part of legislators. ” Thus the
president stated another troth in an un¬
pleasant and unwelcome way. The states¬
men who sit in the two housw of oongrew
admit this is true, and the moet of them
who voted for the civil service law are
sorry they ever did so, which they frankly
admit. But they do not like to have the
president call them “spoilsmen,“ as he
dow i u his next sentence, and say bs should
be able to find a way to praise civil servioe
reform and advocate its extension without
Insulting member* of the other branch at
the government. When the average cou-
greesman is offended by the executive, he
at way* fall* back upon the traditional and
more or lew real dignity of hi* branch of
the government. Those Democratic con¬
gressmen who ware offended by toe presi¬
dent’s remarks on this head found some
comfort in the evident slap at the Mug¬
wump# which immediately follows, where
the president .refers to the “querulous im¬
practicability of many self constituted
guardian*” of civil servioe reform. “Quer¬
ulous impracticability” has been seised
upon by the gossips of toe capital as anoth¬
er picturesque contribution by President
Cleveland to the phrases of our day. It Is
heard on every side. Senators and represent¬
atives greet one another with the playful
remark: “You havequeralous impractica¬
itf” bility. Why don’t you take catch something that had for
Or, “Where did you

you have iu your head?” This phrase is
destined to become almost as famous as
“innocuous desuetude” or “where aa I

Strang* to say, toe oongresmum do not
like Postmaster General BiaeeU any better
than they like Mr. Cleveland. They accuse
the fat faced and good natured postmaster
general with being a large steed imitation
of his chief in the White House. To hear
the average member of congress talk about
the postofflee department and {teheed one
wonld think that Mr. Btetoll bad tAt
studying all Mr. Cleveland'a sly little ways
of offending tbe men wbo think them¬
selves great statesmen, adding thereto a
few frills of bis own. Of course all toe
trouble is about tbe postoffioes. Mr. Bto-
sell dow not always appoint toe men
whom the congressmen recommend for tbe
honors of ticking stamps. In faet, Mr.
Bissell told a delegation of Missouri con¬
gressmen the ot her day that he had swreh-
ed tbe constitution and the statutes
through without finding a single word
about the responsibility of senators and
representatives ia congress for to# appoint¬
ment of postmasters, Mr. Bissell said this
with a playful smile upon hi* face and
dainty dimples dancing through his
cheeks, but he meant it, just toe same, as
tome of those very congressmen have dis¬
covered to their sorrow. Things have
come to such a paw that tbe postofflee
recommendation of a Democratic senator
or representative may bring the appoint¬
ment, and it may hot, and of course tote is
a state of affaire which in the opinion of
the average statesman is akin to revolu¬
tion and destruction of toe liberties of toe
