s Silver Compromise Possible.
Washington special ia the Boston Journpl.
The declarations of the Congress
men from, the West and South who
have arrived are nob reassuring to
those who have hoped that it might
be possible to repeal the Rilver dollar
law. Many- of these Congressmen
are very outsnoken in their declara
tion that no compromise will be ac
cepted. They do no& wait to learn
what the recommendations or the
President will be upon that subject
They accept the theory that the state
meats of the message as to silver will
not 'materially differ frdm the
letter which President Cleveland
wrote to the -silver rwen in Congress
before he arrived in Washington and
they intend to oppose Ijim upon that
issue. It, is not clear that some com-
promise might not be accepted, but
it is quite -certain tliat the "out and
out"" silver men will not consent to
the unconditional repeal of the siN
ver coinage act. So determined are
they upon; this' point that it is verv
evident that they would resort to all
parliamentary means to defeat tbe
passage of a bill having that end in
view if one could be favorably re
$orted f rom a committee.

Secretary Lamar, -of the Interior
Department, has his son for private
secretary. He is a bright young fel
low who has led the varying life of a
man in Texas, and who has a vocabs
ulary which -at times is more m
nhatic than elegant. The other day
a friend told old him that his father
was paying too much attention to
his Mississippi friends, and. that Ex-.
Representative Money had too much
influence at She deoartment for the
secretary's good. "That's a mistake,"
said young -feamar. "Money has re
ceived no favors from this depart
meat, and pa has treated his Souths
ern riendts worse than outsiders.
Why," he continued, growing exeis
ted, 'pa's a heU of a man, anyhow;
he has more friends than any other
man in the South, and he does less
for his friends than any man in the
South."
