Washington Letter. From Our Regular Correspondent. Washington, July 5, 1S8G. < Congress has been wrangling all week over the money bills which pro vide for running the Government dar ing the next Fiscal year. The sub ject sounds like a dry one, but the Congressional debates have not been i dull. Appropriation bills always pro-; voke much disagreement and aiford an opportunity for discussing the | comparative extravagance of the two parties. The Nation's balance sheet has just j been drawn up again. The Govern ment’s bookkeepers have footed up their accounts for the fiscal year that.) came to an end on June 30th, and the ! figures are even more satisfactory’ than could have been expected. The* receipts exceeded the expenditures by $00,528,546. Tlie receipts and ex- j penditures for the fiscal year com par-: ed with the last preceeding one, show j an increase of revenue of about $12,- 500,000 and a decrease in the expendi- j tures of about .814,500,000. Customs are some $11,000,000 better, enue 4,500,000 and miscel- ie $3,000,000, The or din a- are $22,400,000 less than terest is nearly $1,000,000 are$3, 000,000 more, year just closed the PATENTS GRANTED. receipts internal re laneous *oi ry expenses are last year, interet less and pension Yes, during th Pension certificates than ever vear. Am Hlice issued $1,422 pension s, a larger number by 6,721 were issued in any previous 1 when it is remembered that this immense work lias been per formed with a force of clerks less by over 100 than for the three previous, there seems to be sufficient reason for congratuating the present Commis- sioner of Pensions, Genl. Black upon retrenchment in his office. At a recent Cabinet meeting the question of how many telephones were in use at the several executive departments of the Government in this city came up. The President asked each of his Secretaries liow many the department over which he presided used. Tlie Attorney Gener al said two. Secretary Lamar gave what he thought was his number, and so on around. They made up about fifty altogether. The President ask ed them to look into the matter and to report at the next meeting. They did and Attorney General Garland was the only one who had made a , correct return. The total was one j hundred and fifty. The average cost : of each telephone—because the de partments have a number of special wires—is $100 a year. Thus for telephonic service for the departments in this city alone, the Government pays nearly $15,000 a year. This was thought to be too high by the Cabinet officers and re trenchment iu this line has begun. Fifteen telephones have already been taken out of the Treasury department leaving only one on each floor. The salaries of Government clerks comes cut of the Legislative, Execu tive and Judicial Appropriation bill. The failure of Congress to pass it by the close of the old fiscal year caused an unusual outlook for the new. The d-uartments opened on trust is . ; r being against the law to any contracts for services in ex- i appropriations. “So you are >ut pay”, was the remark made overnuient clerk, “that must be nffirtable." He showed no anxi ety on the subject however. Said lie, “the pay of members of Congress is provided for in this appropriation bill .ilist the same as mine is. So you see 1 am all right. Every Congressman will see that 1 am provided for in time.'’ It was Senator Riddleberger who introduced the Gill to reduce the sala ries of Congressman and certain high officials twenty-five per cent. This reminds me of the difficulty of getting good business men to take the respon sible places m the department.* There is no trouble at all in getting mere politicians for these places, but it lias been the President’s idea to get good businessmen. Such men comehereoc- casionally tempted by the allurements of office, although they can do much better in private life. For instance, the V. S. Treasurer, Mr. Jordan, has a standing office in private life of ex actly double what lie receives in his present official position. He is con-, sidered, by the way, the ablest treas- 1 urer that 1ms filled that office since it was first created.

BILE BEANS!_ Wliat a funny name for a medicine! Nevertheless it is very significant as applied to the article. Bile, according to Webster, is “a yel lowish bitter, viscid nausceous fluid, secreted by the liver.'’ Whenever the liver does not act properly this fluid is retained in the blood and poisons the whole system, and sallowness and misery is the result. SMITH’S BILE BEANS is a sure cure for biliousness and liver complaint. Price, 25 cents per bottle Dr. Chinn’s Liver Pills.

How j n you pay such a man? in- i die capitalist, who, himself, j employs about four hundred men. J Twenty-five hundred dollars, replied j tlie Secretary. Oh, said tlie visitor, 1 i cannot furnish him. 1 pay $10,000 a ! year for the services of such a man as you have described.
