WEEKLY WASHINGTON LETTER.
Prom Oar Eecaiar uomponaenr. '
Washixoton, D. C, Dec. 10, '97.
: Secretary Gage is about the
only member of the administra
tion who would really like to see
his recommendations for cinching
the ; hold of the gold stand
ard on this country become the
law. Mr. McKinley .'did not dare
to endorse the recommendations of
his Secretary of the Treasury, and
he has no real desire for. the finan
cial legislature he half-heartedly
suggested. He ' knows that 1 his.
roundabout suggestion of getting rid
of the greenbacks by turning them
into gold certificates could not get
through Congress, even if only the
republicans voted upon it. He
was afraid that the recommenda
tions for amending the National
hanking laws, so as to reduce taxa
tion on National bank currency, to
allow currency to be issued to the
face value of the bonds deposited
with the government, and to allow
the establishment of National banks
with $25,000 capital in small places,
might get through, so he added
proviso that he knew would kill the
whole to make all National bank
notes redeemable in gold. The ad
ministration is simply- trying to
bluff a portion of its own narly and
the country, it doesn't want sn
financial legislation. This has al
ready been made plain in the House
by the grab-game engineered by
Mr. Dingley by which his commit
teeWays and Means will take
charge of all financial bills and
smother them. Republicans - Lave
also plainly indicated by their talk
that they bad received intimations
trom the administration that no
financial - legislation was wanted.
If public criticism of its attitude
makes it necessary to strengthen its
bluff, the administration will,
through Mr. Dingley, fix up a bill
and jam through the House, know-
ng that the Senate would not ect
upon it. Ofcouise, the people of
this country sro foots enough not to
know the difference between this
sort of thing and real statesmanship,
and they will be so sorry that the
administration isn't able to get what
it , doesn't want so sorry that
they'll elect a democratic Congress
next year. : ' ;
The administration doesn't wish
the Nicaragua Canal question to be
acted upon by this Congress, and
when Mr. McKinley , said in his
message that he would have some
thing further to say-on the subject
when he submitted the rejort of the
Commission which has just started
for Nicaragua to make a new survey
and estimate of cost, under an act
of Congress, he was fully aware that
the commission was not likely-to
make a report before the death of
the Fifty-fifth Congress. In fact, it
is known that members of the com
mission were given a broad hint be
fore their departure that their re
port wst not exitected before March
4, 1809, .
One Nebraska republican Mr.
Winfleld 8. Slrawn, an Omaha
lawyer has turned op in Washing
ton who is honest enough to nuli
lidy say that the republicans nave
no chance to carry that State, either
at the Congressional elections next
year or lb National, election of
1900, Mr. 8trawn says the repub
lican have not been able to get back
the avrmer votes tiny lost un lhe
silver question is unsettled. .
With the exception of Senators
Morgan' of Abu, and Gorman, of
Md., every democratic Senator is
now lined up against the annexa
tion of Hawaii, and the opiiosition
among the republicans alfoilr in
cludes Senators Hoar. Morrill and
Petthrrew. This makes it impos
sible to procure the two-thirds vole
needed to ratify the treaiy provid
ing (br annexation, and lbs repub
licans are already seriously think
inn of abandoning the tnaty and
trying to secure annexation by ma
jority legislation. It looks a little
though the annexation ques
tion was going to be ued by 1 e
Reed machine to whack McKinley
over the head. The Czar is under
stood to hare privately announced
himself to be oppoacd to annexa
tion. In fact, present indications
are that before tnis session has
grown very old the lino between
McKinley reiHiblicans and Reed re
publicans will le sharply drawn.
If bpain isn t entirely pleaded
with the situation at the Washing
ton end of the line she must be hard
to please. It was a new thing for a
President of the I nited fc tales to de
rote nearly half of his message to
Congress to an argument iu fa vol of
allowing a foreign nation-more time
in which to try to squeeze the life
out of a people residing in sight of
our coast, and the innovation was
nauseous lo many. A dose equal
ly nauseous followed, when tSeere
tary Gag presented several columns
of solid newsiapcr matter, giviig in I
