Our Washington Letter th s
week contains some interesting
rtdin. The purpose of the Dern,
ocratic leaders to take a stand for a
cbauge of the election law, tarifi
law, establish income tax &c, is en.
couraging. These are burning
questions and something; on these
lines are earnestly expected by lb?
people of the Democratic party and
we have great hopes that when
Cougress re-assemble3 something of
importance will bo accomplished in
tbat direction. If these purposes
are carried out, aud we believe they
will be, then there will be no further
excuse for a Third party.
TO HE OPEN ON SUNDAY. I
Chicago, May 12, Oq and after j
May 21 the World's lair grounds
wilt be oben every Sunday. This
decision was reached at a meeting
of the exposition in the Rand Mc
Nally building this afternoon, Pres
ideut Higginbotham had called
upon Edwin Walker, who is chair
man of the committee on legislation,
to submit au opinion whether or
not the exposition can be opened
on Sunday la spite of the restric
tion placed upon this feature by
CoDgress wheu the appropriation of
2,500,000 was granted.
Sir. Walker presented his official
and legal interpretation before the
diiectoiP, which is to the tfi'ect that
the law passed by Congress stipula
itug ihat the exposition should be
close ou Sunday applies only to the
buildings containing exhibits. Mr.
Walker's construction of the act
further says that the buildings e
recited for other uses, the grounds,
the Midway Plaisaoce with its va
ried humau pauoraraa and thiogs
pertaining thereto may be thrown
opeu to publio inspection. After
considerable discasiion a resolution
was proposed to open the gates on
and after May I'l and to close the
main boilding containing the exhi--bits.
The resolution was carried
by a vote cf 22 to 7.
Of the seven who voted nay six
were in favor of opening the fair in
every departraeut and the seventh
was opposed to opening the gates
uuder any condition. Thus, upon
the technicality named, the Colum
bian Fair will be to all intents and
purposed opeu, leaving the public
to visit throughout the grounds, to
ride on ihe electric launches, to en
joy the novelties of the Venetian
gondolas, to patronize any ot the
booths, and varied attractions of
;he Plaisance and to have a good
time generally.
The price of admaiission on Sun
day will be reduced to 25 cents.
So the closing of the World's
Fair ou Sunday has turned out to
be a farce. And more than that a
premium has been set on the faun
day visits to the grounds by reduc
ing the admission to 25 cents!

statements by newspapers and in

the report that 4,365.18 or any
other sum was appropriated or al
lowed to be used in the interest o
the People's party last year. Not
one cent of Alliance funds were used
tor such a purpose. By order of
the executive committee at the May
meeting last year, all the Alliance
lecturers were withdrawn from the
iield, this being several weeks prior
ro the first start to organize a new
party. Not a cent was paid tor lec

was nsed tor other than legitimate
expenses of the Alliance.

Washington, May 15,1893:
Speaker Cri-p, after spending a
week in Washington, left for home
Saturday right. He was in a glo
rious good humor, as he had a right
to be, for it ia ubw as certain a
anything in the fatore can be that
he wdl be elected Speaker of the
next House, President Clevelaud
informed him before he left that he
had fully decided, notwithstanding
the arguments presented by promu
uent members of the party in favor
of an earlier date, not to cali an ex
tra session of Congress before Sep
tember. Tbe leaders of the democratic
party have it is stated agreed upon
four things to be pressed when
Congress meets, and it is probab'e
that President Cleveland's messag:'
to Coogress, and may be bis procla
mation calling the extra sessior,
will be largely devoted to argumen-s
for speedy action upon them tt
repeal of tbe obnoxious -b'eueri:
election laws ; the levying of an m

the currency issued by state bank?,

bert's order that no more naval of

absence to enter private employ was
followed by Secretary Lamont's de
termination to stop similar abuse? '
in the army, and not only to refuse
to allow it in future but to revoke
the leaves of all those officers nov
engaged in other occupations, ex
cept those granted by special act
of Congress. Sec. Lamont has also
announced his iotention to mak;
almost a reorganization iu that im
portant branch ot the War depart
ment knowu as the division of rer
cords tud pension. This division
is c?osely associated with the Pen
sion Bureau, as it has to verify the
army record of every applicant fo:
a pension. Some forty or fifty
changes have already been made in
this division.
It. may be true that Comptroller
of Currency Eckles has bad no ex

which he has acted during the past

queut enough to be alarming, has
convinced the Treasury officials aod
the banking world that he is thor.
oughly posted upon the laws that,
govern banks aud that as a cool-headed
business man he has never
had a superior in that office. He
has proven himself to be a valuable
assistant to fSec. Carlisle aud his
promptness in dealing with sus
pended banks has had no little to
do with restoring that public confi
dence without which bank-? of no

man H.Ivf ngrttoii Fighting
over the Patronage.
Washington, May 13:Repress
entative Leonidas F. Livingston, ot
tbo Atlanta district of Georgia, and
Secretary Hoke Smith, of that State
are having a regular monkey and
parrot time over tbe question of who
shall control the patronage in the
Atlanta district. For several years
tbese emiueut Georgians have bten
bitter personal as well aa political
enrmies. Hoke Smith' paper
fought Livingston vigorously for
Cong' ess, and Living-ton retaliated
by domg all in his power to prevent
Mr. Cleveland appointing Hoke
Smith t tbe Cabinet. Mr. Smith
has giveu orders to the young meii
conducting his paper at home that
Livingston's name shall never ap
pear in it unless there was some
thing unfavorable to say about him
Tbe fight between them has, how
ever, beeu outside the newspapers
until now, but open war was de
clared yesterday. It came about ic
this way :
A half dozen men in tbe littlf
town of Conyers, in Georgia, mad
application for the PostmastersbU
at that place. Mr. Livingston weti
home to see who tbe people of tb
town wanted. During his absence
and before be bad filed any of ibt
papers, Secretary Smith went tc
Fourth Assistant Postmaster-Gen
eral Maxwell and asked for tbe ap
point ment of George W. Weaver.
Tbe appointment was made without
advising with Mr. Livingston, and
Mr. Beunet, Secretary Smith's pri
vate secretary, telegraphed to Wea
vet's friends that tbe appointment
would be "made without Congres
sional interference."
When Mr. Livingston, who was at
Conyers looking into tbe matter of
making a Selection, beard of tne
annoancement and read Mr. Smith'
telegram be rushed back to Wash- ;
iogtou on the first train and de
manded to know of Headsman Max
well whftt he meant by mnk'ng au
appointment in his district, without
consulting: with him,especially when
he had promised to do nothing iu
the matter until his return. Mr.
Maxwell replied that Secretary
Smith aud Senator Gordon had re
quested the appointment, and he
felt it hi duty to honor their re
quest. Then I want to know it Mr.
Smite is to ic ise ail iu recommen
dations V asked Mr. L'viiighton,
with an air of indignation.
"I don't know a'.ut that," replied
Mr. Maxwell.
"Well, I shll see the President
about this matter," said the Geor
gian. "If the Administration in
tend-? to allow Mr. Smith to appoint
fourth-class Postmasters iu my dis
trict then I arn goip to hit back."
Mr. Livingston is indignant at
this attempt ou tbe part of Secro
tary Smith to belittle him with tbe
people ot his own district, and is
ma! enough to use lm good ripbt
arm upon tbe person of the Secre--tarv.
"There is no deny in 2 tbe fact,''
said he, "that Hoke Smith means
to destroy me politically, if it I e in
his power. He despises me and
haven't a much kinder feeling for
him. .But be has declared war now
and I mean to figbt.''
"Mr. Livingston will see tbe Pres
ident ou Tuesday, when tbe matter
will be laid before bim. Charlotte
