UNION & RECORDER. [Baldwin county.
Washington Letter,
From Our Regular Correspondent.
Washington, Nov. 20, 1886.
Editor Union-Recorder:
This is one of the busiest weeks of
the year in Washington. Congress
will be here in one week, and every
body must be ready for it from the
President to the boarding-house
keeper. The President’s message is
receiving its last course of condensa
tion and revision. Cabinet officers
are performing similar work on their
annual reports, and their Assistants
of the First, Second, Third and
Fourth degrees, with several hun
dred Bureau Chiefs, Comptrollers,
Auditors and officers too numerous to
mention, are arranging their figures
and plodding over long tables of sta
tistics.
The streets of the city are again
alive with a busy, bustling throng
and up at the long deserted Capitol,
Chairman Randall, with a quorum
of his committee, has for a week been
pressing work on Appropriation bills.
He reports fine progress, and says
Congress will not have to wait on him
for money bills. During the week he
has had in consultation, the heads of
different Bureaus and Government
establishments, with regard to the
needs of their respective departments
for the next year. Among these were
Prof. Baird of the National Museum,
Smithsonian and Fish Commission;
Superintendent Thorne of the Coast
Survey; Dr. Godding of the Govern
ment Insane Asylum; Col. Wilson of
public buildings and grounds and
others.
The improved condition of the Gov
ernment service under Democratic
Administration has been mentioned
repeatedly, but now instances of re^
form are continually making them
selves felt, which deserve especial no
tice. The President probably never
made a happier stroke of public poli
cy than when he called Mr. Benedict
here to be Public Printer. In the
period of three months the notorious
ly demoralized Government Printing
office has been put in such order that
about one-third more work is now be
ing done with the same amount of
money, and the press room which
three months ago had 400 forms wait
ing for the press is now clear, having
“caught up.”
It is too bad the President cannot
be left in peace and quiet with his
modest little country home. As soon
as the real estate dealers of Washing
ton knew of his intention to buy this
place they secured as mueh ground
in the vicinity as possible and ever
since they have been using the Pres
ident's name in the most liberal man
ner in connection with all sorts of
schemes they have organized for im
provements at the public expense.
Of course the President has been in
no way concerned in those maneuv-
but rumors to that effect cannot

superb stock of goods,
of valuable and useful
W
ers,
but be annoying to him.
Almost every day the President or
Col. Lamont is forced to say there is
not a word of truth in some reports
about the President. The Colonel’s
latest denial, which is very emphatic,
is in regard to an investigation which
it is alleged the President is conduct
ing by means of a private detective
to find out if any of the District Com
missioners are interested in real es
tate along the line of the proposed
extension of Massachusetts Avenue.
The Secretary adds that the Presi
dent had his hands full of his own
legitimate duties and did not care to
interfere with outside matters.
Some of the statements telegraphed
from this city in connection with the
police scandal, alleging demoralization
and rottenness in District affairs and
universal dissatisfaction with the
comuiissionership form of Govern
ment, are quite untrue. And
people of the District feel that the
present Commissioners are honest
and reliable, and that any errors they
may commit are purely those of
judgment. The tax-paying people
especially know when they are well
off, and they have no desire to ex
change the present government rule
and government backing in District
expenses for the boon of suffrage.
Speaking of the Police scandal,
certain members of Congress have
expressed their opinion that Con
gress will not ask to have the matter
investigated. “We can take no no
tice of it officially,” said Representa
tive Snowden, “for no Congressman
has been individually aspersed or in
jured, and whoever demanded an in
vestigation would be considered as
putting himself on the defensive and
confessing his guilt.” But now since
so many police officers have been pun
ished and dismissed, it is said they
will appeal for redress to the PresiJ
dent, and in case he declines to give
the subject attention, they will ask
Congress to hefp them.
Congress would not give any more
publicity to the subject, but would
dive into it secretly through the Ap
propriations Committee 1 * when the
question of appropriating money for
the District would come up. The
Congressmen who were to have been
subjected to police espionage would
not then be publicly arrayed, and yet
the investigation could be as thorough
as necessary.
Collision.—Two trains collided be
tween Parker and Lennox, Dak., on
the 30th ult., making both engines
total wrecks and both engineers and
fireman were instantly killed.
