Washington Letter.

Washington, April 19.—One es the immediate effects of President Cleveland’s Chicago letter, as seen at Washington, is the consternation among the politicians, who have been hoping against hope that some way would be discovered to fight the Presidential campaign withont having to squarely meet the issue of the coinage of silver. Just at present the consternation is greatest among the democratic dodgers, but the republicans are not enjoying the situation which Mr. Cleveland's championship of the gold standard has forced upon the democratic party, because of their knowledge that his action has made it certain that the republican party will also have to meet the same issue before the formal opening of the Presidential campaign. The populists and other silver men say they are thankful to Mr. Cleveland for having helped them to force the financial issue to the front this year, instead of next. They say they have nothing to fear from the aggressive fight which Mr. Cleveland and his friends propose making on silver from now on;that the more financial discussion there is among the people the more voters there will be for the free coinage of silver. Previous to the publication of President Cleveland’s attack upon silver the men were not disposed to take much stock in the talk about Mr. Cleveland being desirous of again becoming a Presidential candidate, upon a Single standard gold platform; but that publication, together with what has since been said by members of the administration, who are preparing to fake the stump against silver in Kentucky and Illinois, has convinced them that he has the desire. Time only can tell whether it will be gratified.

Every once in a while something occurs to show that the checks against wrong doing in the goverment departments are easily evaded by clever rascals. Last year the discovery was made that nearly all of the papers needed to prove the embezzlement of government money by Cap tain Holgate had been stolen from the file of the Treasury department, and now an examination of the charred remains of the contents of a big storage warehouse, which was burned some months ago, has brought about the discovery that a quantity of the official records of the General Land Office were stored in boxes in that warehouse. That these records were stolen in certain, but who was the thief or what was the object may never be known, as the books of the warehouse, which would have shown w T ho stored these records, were burned up. It is only a few years since a clerk in the Land Office resigned and became a millionaire within five years, by making use of certain knowledge he had acquired from the records of the office. At least, that was the explanation given by his friends for his suddenly acquired wealth. It is certain that the man was an impecunious clerk and that very soon after resigning he was wealthy. Treasury officials say it will be impossible to make an estimate of the amount that will be reciev■ed from the income tax for some weeks, as all the blanks handed Jn by taxpayers will have to be gone over and tabulated twice, once by the collectors in the several districts and again by the Internal Revenue Bureau of the Treasury ' department, before the total will be known. Deputy collectors are expected to be kept busy between this and the first of July, when the tax becomes payable, assessing the delinquents. A'pplication was this

week made to the Supreme Court for a rehearinsrof the income tax cases,but even if it is granted, which isn't certain, there is little probability of the hearing be. fore the fall term of the court. The Cabinet is a unit for the abolition of 20 per cent duty on beef, but that doesn’t help the beef consumers any, as that duty can oniy be abolished by Congress. The changing of the rules regarding the entrance of Mexican cattle into the United States is expected to help the situation some, but the beef trust will probably see that it doesn’t help very much, by buying up the Mexican cattle just as fast as they come in. No member of the administration as yet suggested that the beef trust be proceeded against under the anti-trust law. The worthlessness of that law was made apparent by the failure of the cases against the sugar trust. Still, it would look well, even if it accomplished nothing more than the inconveniencing of the “Big Four, of Chicago”, who com pose the beef trust, for the Attorney General to make the at tempt of applying it to the beef trust. Secretary Morton said: "If anything is done to bring relief from beef extortions the newspapers will have to do it. Th® John Sherman anti-trust law willneither punish nor protect; it was made to be evaded.”

ONE DAY ONLY. Calico 2c a yd. at The Model. We do not reserve the right to limit our customers to 10 yards, nor do we ask any one to buy other goods to get calico at 2c a yard. Remember calico is 2c a yd. at The Model, leader of low prices.

FOREIGN.

The Duke of Connaught (Queen Vlptoria’s son) has given orders that tne army officers under his command at Aldershot shall qualify themselves to be judges of the food supplies furnished by army contractors for the troops, and alio of the storage for horses. With a view of creating oases in the barren waste land of the interior, the authorities of South Australia are boring for artesian wells in a number of places. They will also plant Algerian trees in the neighborhood of these wells, should water in sufficient quantities be found. In a recent speeoh in the French chamber M. Lockroy inveighed against extravagance in the naval department, claiming that the English could build a war ship for about half what the same vessel usually cost in the Frenah yards. It is said that two members of the house of commons who desired to visit Constantinople before the opening of parliament, to inquire, into the grievances of the Armenians, were prevented from doing so by the refusal of the Turkish authorities in London to visa their passports. The Paris fioleil says France is not inclined to abandon its demand for the extradition, from England of Dr. Cornelius Herz, the Panama canal lobbyist. Three refugees from Sassoun who have arrived in London were eye witnesses of the Armenian massacres, and their evidence confirms the reports of the atrocities. Lieut. Col. Ludlow, military attache of the American embassy at London, who was recently appointed military engineer of the Nicaragua Canal commission. sailed for New York. Charles Baxter, executor of the estate of Robert Louis Stevenson, says it will probably prove worth between $100,600 and $150,000. Most of this will be from profits from Stevenson’s books.

State Treasurer Henry M. Phillips of Massachusetts sent in his resignation to the governor to take effect on the election of his successor by the legislature. Gov. Morton of New York has submitted. to the legislature a message requesting it to provide a proper exhibit for the coming cotton states exhibition in Georgia. The Pulaski county (Ark.) grand jury adjourned until May 6. The papers in the alleged legislative bribery case were laid before the jury by Prosecuting Attorney Pemberton, but no action was taken. Col. J. w. F. Hughes, the colonel of the militia who was removed by Gov. Leweiling of Kansas and court-mar-tialed for not driving the republican house from the legislative halls two years ago, has been appointed majorgeneral of the Kansas militia. The Tennessee senate adopted by a vote of 11 to 10 a joint resolution asking congress to enace a free coinage law at a ratio of 16 to 1.

This Settles It.

Having settled that Russian thistles are a blessing, Pound Sterling Morton will next decide that chinch bugs are a very desirable thing to have around. Then he will issue a circular setting forth that the weevil and Hessian fly are much slandered insects and the curculio not half so bad as he is painted. The gopher will get a eulogistic sendoff and the honors of knighthood will be conferred upon the jack-rabbit His plan of reform will be complete by a mathematical demonstration that grasshopper soup is the greatest blessing that can come-to farmers under a democratic administration. If Morton had Jived in the days of Pharaoh matters would have been much simplified in the means taken to soften that tyrant’s heart. Instead of issuing them in series, all the plagues of Egypt would have been concentrated by turning loose a sample of the pothouse politician out of which we make cabinet officers these days.—Noncon.

THE PEOPLE’S PILOT, RENSSELAER, IND., SATURDAY, APRIL 27, 1895.

The way to have better business is to vote for it. Do you vote the same ticket that monopoly does. Let every Populist try to convert one old party voter. _ t The platform trimmers are not in sight any more. The People’s party is gaining recruits everywhere. The Democratic party would have a remnant sale if it had anything left to sell. While the plutes are organizing the militia let the Populists organize legions. We might have more confidence in that silver party if it had something to do. We don’t hear of any Populists Joining the free silver party recently organized. Plutocracy can’t build a fortress that a hungry people can not level to the ground. The almost universal cry comes up from the Populists that the Omaha platform is good enough. Send to Gen. Paul Van Dervoort, Omaha, Neb., for instructions about how to organize legions. men ought to join the Industrial Legion this year. With such an army at work victory would be assured. -V, The church must come out on the side of the people dr die. It can’t live while it holds oq to the skirts of plutocracy. Help Gen. Van Dervoort to organize the workers into Legions. hope to accomplish but little without Organization. \

Two million men organized into the legion would be an Invincible army with either ballots or bullets. We must have them. The Republican party will next get the toe of the people’s foot. The trouble is, that neither one of the old parties know what they are kicked for. Just think of our revolutionary fathers waiting for an ‘‘international agreement” and ‘‘England’s consent” to establish their independence. Scat! The mayor of Buffalo will let the poor people of that city plant potatoes on the vacant lots this spring. Be careful, gentlemen, there is some socialism in this. Senator Peffer’s whiskers are rather long, to be sure, but they are not.half so long as the moss on the back of some men who are still voting the gold bug ticket.

Some of the church members are incensed at Dr. Parkhurst because he has taken a part in politics and upset a rotten and corrupt municipal administration. We wonder what the /church is for? There is a good deal more noise being being made about that shot that was fired at an American ship by a Spanish gunboat than there is about the raid which the English syndicate made on the United States treasury, in which they “scooped” us for $10,000,000. Report says a solid mountain of gold has been discovered in Australia. If such a thing were possible how long would it be until gold would be demonetized? It would not be a month after the fact was established until the money kings of Europe and their poll parrot mouthers in this country would be assailing gold as they are now fighting silver. It is not the intrinsic value in gold alone that makes it the favorite metal for money of the gold bugs, but its scarcity, which enables them to corner it and thereby dictate a monetary system for the whole earth. Contrast the difference, will yon, oetween H. O. Havemeyer’s salary |s president of the Sugar trust at SIOO,OOO a year, and his employes who labcfc in a temperature of 120 degrees Fahrenheit at 80 cents a day. Mr. Haveifieyer’s salary is $333.33 1-3 a day for 300 days in the year, or over $93 more for one day than his employes receive in a year at 80 cents a day. Object lessons of this kind ought to open the eyes of all laboring men, and particularly Havemeyer’s employes, but doubtless many have voted for and will continue to vote for a system that forces such conditions upon them. How long, Oh Lord, will the stupidity of the people endure such things? Ah, the stupidity and patience of the laborer! Capitalism and corporate greed are continually increasing its burdens until labor is staggering under its load, and yet it is blindly plodding along, seemingly without courage enough to enter even a mild protest As a sample of burdens heaped upon the laborer the fact is cited that the gross earnings of the Pennsylvania railway in 1894 were $16,600,000 less than in 1893, but the company really lost nothing, as it threw all Its loss and $8,500,000 more on its employee and producers of its customary supplies by reducing expenses $36,000,000 by cutting wages and other savings. And still the j<atient, plodding, stupid labor ass staggers along under Its burdons! .
