WASHINGTON LETTER
From our Regular Correpondent.
The old story, started in
the Hint month of thendmin 1 itfnn. Ht say he has no npol
istration, nuout there bcingjogy to make nnd that Judge
a disagreement bet .vivii Irert j Uoi:j: in making application
idetit Cleveland and Secret a-
ry Carlisle to the fln.iucial
policy of the ndnmiitt ration,
has heea revived ami given a
new dreys, it being stated
now mac me President in
tends to use Tie vacancy in
the Supreme Court to get rid
of Secretary Carlisle. Your
correspondent, can state on
the authority of one who
knows whereof bespeaks that
there isn't the slightest fric
tion between the President
and Secretary Carlisle; on the
contrary their relations have
constantly grown closer as
e;c!i en me to fully Understand
the mind and disposition of
the other, ho'h hnvingfound
unexpected trails in the oth
er to admire. KecretaryCur-
lisle rightly declines to digni
fy the story by denying it. It
is easy to account for the re
appearance of the story it
this tinr Exciting political
liews is very scereo thecalm
Vief jre tlv? utorrn is now on
nnd it was considered by the
revamperof the story that
Secretary Carlisle's appoint
ment to the vacancy in the
Supreme Court was possible,
if not. very probable, nid in
case h" should be appointed
lie (tar writer) could clnln;
credit for having the exclu
sive advanec official informa
tion, and if he wasn't appoin
ted thestorv would soon be
forgotten anyway.
neakinir of the vacancr in
the Supreme Court, I have
just had a talk with a gentle,
man who is as clos to Presi
dent, Cleveland personally a
any man in the world on the
rumor which has at various
times connected the names of
three members of the cabinet
with the vacancy. He said:
"It is very easy for me to tell
you why I feel certain mat
Mr. Cleveland will not break
into his cabinet to fill that
vacancy, although Secreta
ries (iresham nnd Carhsleand
Attorney (eneral Olney, all
of whom have been mention
ed, would either of them
make a model Justice on the
bonch of the greatest Court
in the world. But that does
hot enter into the case at all.
It should be remembered that
Mr. Cleveland spent about 4
months in selecting the mem
bers of his cabinet, and that
each ruomber was stlected
with specia1 reference to the
work that Mr. Cleveland ex
pected that particular depart
ment over which he presides
to do towards making hiead
ministrai ion a success. Now
theti. is it a reasonable sup
position that before the new
machine has fairly got togo
ing Mr. Cleveland would even
entertain the idea of chang
ing any one of the men he
had so carefully selected to
another position, however
much honor t ht re might be
for the individual in the
change? I think not. I should
much sooner expect to see the
Senate invaded than the cab
inet, to fill the vacancy."

for his eiisioii alleged that
he as totally helpless, and
mat he in now drawing a sal
ory of 7,000 n. year, which
shows that he is a I ng ways
from being totally helpless,
and that the case is a proper
one for investigation.
Secretary Carlisle nailed an
other misstatement when be
said that neither himselt nor
any offi-.-ial of the Treasury
Department was engaged in
the preparation of a tariff
bill, nnd that neither he nor
the President had ever con
templated such a thing. The
Treasury officials are prepar
ing information on the sub
ject which will be placed at
the disposal of thecommittee
on Ways and Means when it
begins work on the tai iff bill.
An attempt was made to
make it appear that the ac
ting Director of theMint had
done soinethingextraordina
ry in refusing to pay moie
than the London price f o r
silver bullion and there was
for a while a lot of wild talk
about brii ging "'the usurpa
tion of authority" to tin? at
tention of Congress, indulged
in mostly by republicans who
didn't care a rap about sil
ver, but thought they saw in
me incident an opportunity
to embarrass the adminislra
tion. The talk was stopped
as suddenly as it began, foi
a lit Reinvestigation brought
out the fact that in 1878.
when John Sherman was Sec
retary of the Treasury and
under the Bland act, then
just gone into effect, wascoin
polled to buy 2,()i)0.000
worth of silver a month, for
coinage, he not only refused
to pay more than the Lon
don price, but when Ameri
can holders oi silver refused
to sell at that price, he actu
ally bought more than five
miihon dollars worth of sil
ver in I'onuon and nan it
shipped to the Philadelphia
mint.
The Number of Pensioners Suspended.
ASHINGTON, J 111 V 25. Tlie
total number of pensioners
underact of June 27, 1890,
who have been notified since
the incoming of the present
administration that pay
merit of their pensions has
been suspended, is approxi
mated 5,250. The wholenum
ber of pensions granted un
der this net is ascertained to
be 370,000. Of this number
70,000 were to widows, mi
nors und dependent relatives
leaving 300.000 to be inves

satisfactory proof of inabili

If the same ratio is mainthin

Life would soon become in
tolerable hut for the healing
powers of time. When a great
prief comes Upon u, such as
the loss by death of a dear
companion, relative or friend
we seem to be inconsolable;
even the church prayers and
the lessor from the Bible
fall upon deaf ears. But time,
the great healer, comes to
our relief. The poignance of
our grief fades away and in
Its place comes the sweet con
solation of having been per
mitiedfora time to live in
Bvveet communion with the
departed. Sorrow for the loss
of one dearly loved will nev
er cease, but the active af
fairs of life permit no brood
ing over grief nnd as time,
pusses the sorrow becomes
lessobstrusively present. The
passion of grief yields to phi
losophy, but not until it has
spent its force. All who have
known grief or have witness
ed it knows its history. The
wounds f the oul heal as
do the wounds of the body.
There may be much pain at
first, which gradually disap
pears, but the scar remains.
As. one can scarceh realiz.'1
when looking at a b o d i 1 y
wound how nature can ream
struct the torn fibres, so to
the man or Human bowed
down with t hesiHlden loss of
a loved friend recovery seems
to be impossible. The pros
pect is altogether dark, yet
we know fiom analogy that
time will bring relief. And
when relief comes the chief
consolation will be reflection
upon the goodness of the de
parted friend. One incentive
to goodness, to uu avoidance
of even temporary estrange
ments, to a cultivation of
kindly manners, should be
the thought of their effect af
ter one's death. The man
whose mourners can truth
fully recall his gentle spirit,
kindly manner, his upright
character, has left them a leg
aey to comfort them duiing
all their (fays upon earth
Bitter muft be the anguish
ol the survivor who has par
feci in anger from a loved one
suddenly stricken down and
to whom earthly forgiveness
has become impossible. Yet
j i p .
wuii me as nn-jeitam aw we
know it to be, this anguish
may come upon any one who
fails to guard his temper and
his tongue. A happy life and
a pea .'-etui neatn can come
only to those who are up
right, sympathetic, consider
ate and loving. While they
live they will have the good
will of all whom they meet
and consoMng recollections
of the friends who pass away
before them, and when they
die they will be sincerely
mourned, yet leave a legacy
of consolation behind them.
It is something to have
known and loved a great.
masterful man ofsimple man
ner and kindly heart. These
qualities all may cultivate;
they bring happiness to the
man while living and when he
is dead they afford endur
ing consolation to his sor
rowing friends and relatives
and all who have known hiir.

her out; you can never mount
a scaffold too high for her to

bless you in evidence of her
deathless love. When the
world shall despise and for
sake you, when it leaves you
by the way-side to die unno

will gather you in her feeble

and tell you of your virtues,

and cheer her closing years
