Washington Letter.
Correspondence of the Mascot.'
Washington, D. C, June 12, 1894.
President Cleveland told a Demo
cratic member of the house who ask
ed him his opinion of the Senate
amendments to the tariff bill that
his opinion on the question of tariff
reform should be well enough known
without any additional expression
at this time, and intimated that he
considered prompt action on the
subject by both house and senate of
far more importance to the country
than the mere details of this or that
schedule in the bill, provided, of
course, that the bill as a whole is
kept in line with Democratic prom
ises of tariff reform. That strikes
me as the proper position for every
patriotic Democrat to take at this
time.
The Republican Senators are acting
on the old legal maxim "when you
have no case abuse the opposition."
Finding that they were defeated on
the sugar schedule of the tariff bill,
which they had been for weeks claim
ing to be confident of defeating with
the aid of Democratic votes, they
have resorted to the cry of "sugar
trust," thinking to blind the country
to the fact that the sugar schedule
last week adopted by the Democratic
senators only gives the sugar refiners
about half of what they are getting
under the McKinley law. Senator
Jones is confident that all ot the
amendments will be adopted and the
tariff bill passecLby the close of this
week, and Republican senators pri
vately admit as much.
The southern Democrats in the
house were double disappointed by
the defeat of the bill for the repeal of
the tax on State bank currency.
They had confidently expected 140
votes in favor of the bill, but it only
received 102, while the opposition
mustered 170. They claim . that
men who had allowed themselves to
be counted in favor of the bill voted
against it.
Secretary Carlisle waited until the
fake story that he was preparing for
another issue of bonds had advanced
to the stage of pretending to give all
the details down to the exact
amount of to be issued, belore he
took the trouble to undo the work
of the gifted writers of Washington
fairy tales by officially announcing
that he was not preparing to issue
bonds, had not considered it even,
and knew no reason why he should
consider it at this time or in the im
mediate future. Secretary Carlisle
has been during Jiis entire public life
known as a man who believes in the
open and above board method of
doing things, and the public may
rest assured that should the necessi
ty for another issue of bonds arise it
wiil be duly and oflicially announced
by the Treasury and not by fake
newspapers. It is not believed that
it will be necessary to issue more
bonds, as there is no probability Ojf
the cash in the Treasury reaching an
embarrassingly low condition before
August, and by that time the in
crease in the government receipts
under the new tariff law will proba
bly be great enough to furnish relief.
The claim for $15,Q0Q,00Q against
the estate of the late Senator Stan
ford, which was filed in California
last week by direction of Attorney
Olney, has been much talked in
Washington. The claim is made to
protect the interests of the govern
ment involved in the indebtedness of
the Central Pacific Railroad to the
United States. This step is in line
with a resolution introduced in the
house sometime ago by Representa
tive Boatner, of Louisiana, provid
ing for the employment of counsel to
bring suits against the original Cen
tral Pacific syndicate, composed of
Huntington, Stanford, Hopkins,
Crocker and Colton for money
diverted by them for their own bene
fit from the earnings of the railroad.
Mr. Boatner claims that tae govern
ment can get at least $40,000,000
by bringing these suits. The bonds
upon which the railroad owes the
government this money are not yet
due, but the claim is put in now so
that the statute of limitation cannot
be entered after default in the pay
ment of the bonds. It ; is expected
that this congress will legislateupon
the indebtedness of all of the Pacific
railroads to the government, and C.
P. Huntington is now in Washing
ton looking out for end of the
matter.
Nothing startling has been brought
out last week by the Senate commit
tee that is investigating the charges
concerning the alleged sugar trust
scandal. The more testimony the
committee takes the more apparent
it becomes that these charges were
based upon the flimsiest of founda
tions, helped put by conjecture and
partisan politics.
The Senate will have a select com
mittee of five to give hearings to the
representatives of all the "industrial

that effect having last week been
