Washington, Dec. 6, 1886.
Editor Union-Recorder:
Congress opened to-day at noon in
the usual way. There was a good
representation of both Senators and
Members and crowds of people flock
ed to the Capitol to see the beginning
of the new session. When the Forty-
Ninth Congress met last December it
found the Capitol draped in mourn
ing for the death of Vice President
Hendricks. This year it reassembles
to find the building swathecL-in black
for Ex-President Arthur.
After the gavels fell to-day in the
Senate and JHonse, roll calls fol
lowed, and new Senators and Repre
sentatives were sworn in. Work is
now in order, but the week’s pro
gramme cannot now be outlined, for
convenience must decide to what bus
iness each branch of Congress will
first give attention.
Among the most interesting annual
reports evoked by the assembling of
Congress was that of Secretary Whit
ney because it deals largely with the
reconstruction of the Navy. Speak
ing of the extravagance of previous
Administrations, the Secretary shows
that there are now twenty million
dollars worth of stores and supplies
on hand, supposed to be new, but
much of them ruined by decay and
rust, or entirely obsolete. There are
25,000 augers which have been lying
for years in disused yards and hun
dreds of thousands of other imple
ments similarly going to destruction.
An officer reports passing through a
yard where the men were short of cut
nails, and turning aside he found a
ware room filled from floor to ceiling
with barrels on barrels of the needed
nails. It is estimated that these nails
will still last the Navy Department fifty
years.
The absurdity of the effort among
Republican papers to create the be
lief that there is some scandal involv
ing the President in the purchase of
real estate here for speculative pur
poses is really amusing. Neither
partisan malice nor personal animosi
ty can fix upon him any taint of com
plicity in real estate ring transactions
or scandalous police spying in Wash
ington.
Even those who criticize the Presi
dent’s public and political policy ac
knowledge that personally and pecu
niarily, he is one of the most honest
men who ever occupied the White
House. He might be imposed upon
in some way by avaricious men, but
President Cleveland himself is totally
free from greed. This sudden spasm
of outraged virtue in the Republican
party, which stood by President
Grant when he locked up Boss Shep-
erd, Landaulet Williams and the
members of the wiskey ring, because
certain real estate dealers sought to
profit by Mr. Cleveland’s purchase of
a home, is highly interesting.
The name of the President's little
country place is still undergoing
changes. Originally it was “Pretty
Prospect,” then it was vulgarly call
ed “Red Top,” after which the own
er named it “Oak View.” Now those
who have made the most earnest ef
fort to connect the President with the
syndicate aim to stigmatize it with
the title of “Poison Oak View.”
It is becoming quite common to dis
tribute pictures of the fine Washing
ton residences of wealthy Congress
men as an influence upon the horny
handed voter, and public men have
found that owning large houses here
is very detrimental to their populari
ty at home. More than one has been
defeated by the circulation of a pho
tograph of his Washington residence
among his constituents. It was only
a few days since that an Illinois Con
gressman, seeing a eamera leveled at
his mansion, rushed out and tried to
drive the photographer away.
When ex-Senator Robeson ran for
Congress the last time in New Jersey,
his constituents were shown pictures
of the south front of the new State,
War and Navy Department, and were
told that that magnificent granite
structure was Mr. Robeson’s new
house in Washington. This was en
tirely too aristocratic for the rural
voters of his district, and Mr. Robe
son was defeated. Ex-Senator Win-
doin of Minnesota was said to have
lost his seat in the Senate through
the scattering of pictures of his hand
some home on Scott circle and it is
said one reason Mr. Blaine rented his
elegant house here and lived in a
more simple faslison was from the
fear of the political use that might be
made of his liying at the Capital in
princely style.
The character of these city homes
is sometimes exaggerated, however,
as was that of Senator Vest. Recent
ly he purchased a modest little house
onP. Street, and picking up a wes
tern paper a few Jdays after he was
astonished to see the statement that
he had bought an elegant residence
in the fashionable locality of Mr.
Baine’s lpalatial mansion.
