WASHINGTON LETTER. from our regular correspondent. Washington, D. C., Oct. 28, ’93. Circumstances, aided by the toadies who constantly surround him, have this week greatly aggravated the “big head” with which Mr. Cleveland has for a long time been afflicted. He thinks that it was himself alone who caused the sudden collapse of the opposition to unconditional repeal in the Senate and he is in consequence disposed to be more autocratic thali ever. The sudden change in the tactics of the Senators opposed to the Voorhees bill, while seemingly almost a miracle, .is in reality easily accounted for on common sense grounds. It must be remembered to start with that no Senator has been at any time opposed to the repeal of the purchasing clause of the silver law. It was the unconditional repeal of that clause that the silver Senators opposed, because they thought they could thereby secure a compromise In the shape of an amendment that would provide in some way for the continued coinage of silver money. After Senator Sherman served notice on the Democrats, in this great speech, that the Republican Senators who were coramited to unconditional repeal would not aid the Democrats in arriving at any compromise the Democrats tried to patch up a compromise among themselves, but Mr. Cleveland succeeded in preventing it. It being then plain that no compromise could be reached there was no longer any reason for prolonging the fight; hence the present situation. To all appearances at this writing the passage of the Voorhees bill by Senate is only a question of a few hours, although there is still a possibility that another dead-lock may be brought about before the final vote is taken. There are several things which may bring about another dead-lock, chief of which is the belief on the part of many Senators that the Voorhees bill should be amended so as. to provide for an issue of bonds not only for the ■purpose of strengthening the gold reserve, but to provide the money to pay the current expenses of the government, the policy, or lack of policy, of the Democratic administration and Congress havingresulted in reducing the receipts of the government from all sources to an extent that is unquestionably alarming. Senator Sherman has informed the Democrats that the Republicans .considered such an amendment to the bill necessary. The Democratic leaders are in a quandary; they know that it will have to come to an issue of bonds sooner or later, but because of the almost solid opposition of the .sonthem Senators they fear to propose such an amendment themselves and fear to allow the proposition to come from the Republicans lest the honor of preserving the credit of the nation should be given by the people to the Republicans. They wish to pass the bill without amendment and, in the usual Democratic style, to allow the question of preserving our national credit to drift along as long as possible. The government is already, taking Secretary Carlisle’s own figures, practically carrying a floating debt that is increasing at the rate of $5,000,000 a month. This is an injustice to the creditors of the government that is absolutely indefensible, from an honorable business point of view. There are other proposed amendments to the Voorhees bill that may make trouble before they are disposed of, and every one of them will have to be voted upon before the vote upon the original bill can be taken. Should the Voorhees bill get through the Senate all right, and according to present indications it will,it will then have some trouble in the House. But the trouble in the House will be principally that of securing a quorum of repealers, the silver men haring served notice that they will not help make it An attempt is being made to get the numerous absentees in their seats by Monday, Should it succeed the bill

The Democrats of the House do not fancy the idea of having in circulation 4000 copies of the recent tariff hearings before the Ways and Means committee; the arguments presented in favor of protection are too nearly unanswerable to suit them. The House committee decided that only 2,000 copies of the book should be printed for the use of the House, it being tacitly understood that the Democrats would suppress as many of those as possible. The Senate committee, .however, at the suggestion,it is said,of a Democratic Senator who thinks protection a good thing, notwithstanding the Chicago platform’s assertion to the contrary, amended the resolution so as to raise the number to 4.009, onehalf to be for the use of the Senate, and it has been so adopted. Little opposition will come from any quarter to an immediate adjourn- ; ment of Congress as soon as the silver question shall have been disposed of. There is a general disposition on the part of Senators and j Representatives to go home and talk it all over with their constituents , before the beginning of the regular session. And it is more than probable that some of them will hear some unpleasant things when they get back home. Alexis. HOI TO KILL A TOM. Kick. Kick hard. Kick at everything. Don’t take your home paper. Don’t pay it a cent —advertising or otherwise —but kick continually. Refuse to enter into any combination that will be a benefit to any one but yourself. Speak of your town as the most immoral place on earth, and say a bad word for it every chance you get. Kick because you and your friends are not permitted to run the town, and if you do run it kick anyhow. Always speak ill of your competitor in business; kick at the merchants, ministers, school teachers, newspapers, doctors and everything else.. Always buy of peddlers, if possible, and give your home merchants ■the go-by, and the merchant in turn sends his job work to the cheap john print shop. If you are in business don’t advei'tise. Buy a rubber stamp and use that. It may save you a few dimes, and look so much better than if nicely printed by an artist. If a stranger comes to town, tell him that everything is overdone and that the town is no good on general principles. This will be a good drawing card to new business enterprises. Stop your home paper and ask your friends to do the same, and insist that they can take Vanity Fair or the Golden City Daily Times. This will give your home paper a great boom and assist the editor materially, something which you must avoid among everything else. —Ex. E. A.

is desired, add enough Venetian red to the mixture to produce the color. If a very light color is desired, lime may be used with the cement and sand. Care must be taken to have all the ingredients well mixed together. In applying the wash, the wall must be wet with clean, fresh water; then follow immediately with the cement wash. This prevents the bricks from absorbing the water from the wash too rapidly, and gives time for the cement to set. The wash must be well stirred during the application. The mixture is to be made as thick as can be applied conveniently with a whitewash brush. Itis admirably suited for brick work, fences, etc., but it cannot be used to advantage over .paint or whitewash. —Scientific American. NOTICE OF Administrator’s Sale.
