WASHINGTON NEWS,
Gathered for the Banner Readers
by Our Special Corres¬
pondent,
The United States Treasury is
bankrupt, as far as the reckless
and extravagant appropriations
voted by the republican congress
can make it so, and it would be
actually so to today if all of the
appropriations had to be paid at
once. In the dying hours of the
Fifty-first congress the republi¬
cans threw prudence, conscience,
fear of a hereafter and every other
restraining influence overboard,
and'boldly voted for every possible
thing that promised to assist in
the footing of the Treasury, which
their leaders had agreed upon for
the purpose of confronting the
democratic congress with a de
ficiency. Old rnouldly claims
that had been refused a hundred
times were tacked on the appro¬
priation bills, and railroaded
through, extra salaries were voted
to employes who are alreaded
paid beyond their deserts, and
money was scattered around in
every direction as though the
Treasury was overflowing with a
surplus, as it was two years ago
when turned over to the repnb
lican?.
Where the money is to come
from to pay all of these wild ap¬
propriations is more than any
one can see at this time; it isn't
in the Treasury nor can it possi¬
bly get there under the present
methods of taxation. Two years
of democratic economy in the
House and a purging of the pen¬
sion rolls of the frauds thereon
may pull the country through
without making it necessary to
put new taxes upon the already
tariff ridden people.
The republican ex-Representa
tives are loath to leave Washing¬
ton until Mr. Harrison has dis¬
tributed the plums now at his dis¬
posal, which includes nine new
U. S. circuit court judges as pro¬
vided by the new law, which pur¬
ports to be for the relief of the
Supreme Court; but Mr. Harrison
proposes to try their patience, as
he is going to Maryland to-mor¬
row for a few days of wild duck
shooting, and says he will do
nothing in the matter until his
return,
Ex-Speaker Reed has a pretty
thick skin, but he couldn’t hide
the chagrin he felt when every
democrat in the House voted
against .r, the usnal resolution c f
thanks 1 that 11 . Mr. XT McKinley, nr xr- 1 after ti
vainly trying to persuade a dem
ocrat to do it, had offered. Served
him right is the verdict among
democrats *
Senator Vilas is here looking
just as natural as when he so
successfully presided over the In
tenor department under Mr. “
n vieveland. , . He says that Wis
consin has cut loose from the re
publican party for good and all,
and that her vote may be confi
dently counted upon tor the dem
ocratic candidate next year.
It is pleasing to know that the
Fifty-first congress did one good
thing. It passed the Internation
ei al enriOTj-ut copyright bill, although ,il . it was
apparently done under a misun
derstanding, signed it with and quill Mr. Harrison
the wing of a pen, from
an American eagle,

which had been provided for the
occasion by one of the editors of
the Century magazine.
Senator Edmunds is entitled to
thanks for having balked Senator
Plumb’s scheme for transferring
the employes of the Census bu¬
reau to the regular classified de¬
partmental service, without the
formality of a civil service exami¬
nation. Mr. Plumb attempted to
hitch it on to an appropriation
bill, but Mr. Edmunds raised a
point of order against it, which
was sustained by the chair.
And while giving thanks I
must not forget the democrats in
the House, who with the aid of a
few republicans jumped cu the
Pacific cable suosidy “job,” after
it had been agreed to by a con¬
ference committee, and strangled
the life from it.
The democratic Senators also
deserve well for the smartness
they displayed in preventing tho
mail subsidy bill from being sent
to a conference committee, which
would surely have incorporated
the tonnage subsidy bill in it. It
is much better to accept the least
of two evils than to have to take
them both.
Senator Ingalls has made a very
“small” use of his last officia
hour. He dismissed the clerk o
the committee of which he was
chairman and appointed his son,
Paul Ingalls, clerk to the commit¬
tee. The object lies in the fact
that the clerk draws his salary
during the recess, but does no
work. Senator Wolcott at once
employed the dismissed clerk as
private secretary.
There were some disgraceful
scenes at the last night session of
Congress, caused by that old time
offender, John Barleycorn. The
tipsy statesmen were kept off the
floor of House and Senate With
some difficulty by their friends,
but their antics in the committee
rooms and corridors were wit¬
nessed by many.
THAT TERRIBLE COUGH
In the morning, hurried or diffi¬
cult breathing, the raising quickened phlegm,
tightness in chest,
pulse, chilliness in the evening or
sweats at night, all or any of these
things are the first stages of con¬
sumption. Dr. Acker’s English
cough remedy will cure these
earfu symptoms, and is sold,
under & positive guarantee by Dr
M. R. Stewart, Druggist.
