the comfort of the stock and for their
feed and water in a manner that must
be of satisfaction to the owner as well

the frame being so made that every

WASHINGTON LETTER
The administration cannot
where this Cuban business will end
nor whose skirts will be smirohed
before it does. At first
was announced that the whole thiog
was to be dug up by the roots,but when
it was found that Neeley wasn't the
only one, the administration began
to draw back and seek to minimize the
affair. But then it was too late and
second change of base WBB taken and it
was again insisted tbat no guilty man
should escape. But the Bcandal is BO
far reaching tbat the president and
Mark Hanna are quaking for fear of
its results. Yet the disclosures are
only what might have been expected
from the character of the men chosen
for such responsible posts. Major
Rathbone, for Instance, was selected
not for his ability, but because he was
henchman of Hanna. Years ago, he
was associated with Col. Dudley In the
latter's "blockB of five" episode in In
diana. Much later he was largely in
evidence in that patriotic movement in
the Ohio legislature which culminated
in the return of Ilanna to the United
States senate. When a committee of
the Buckeye State senate Investigated
the alleged financial character of that
election, Rathbone could not be pro
duced as a witness, and absented him
self from the commonwealth until
after the committee adjourned. There
fore Hanna ewarded him, and ho in
turn rewarded other heelers of similar
stripe by appointing them to responsi
ble posts and by ignoring their opera
tions. The roots of the whole scandal,
however, lie deeper even than this,
They are found in the criminal neglect
of Secretary Root and X'oBtmaster Gen
eral Smith to properly oversee the oper
ations that went on under their admin
istration. Will it be believed tbat to
day the only information tbat either de
partment has, as to tbe poBtoflice sal
aries paid in Cuba, is that their total
for six months is about 897,000.. Ab
solutely no detailed information is on
file either for Cuba or for any of the
other possessions. Yet the regulations
prescribing the duties of auditors and
treasurers of the respective islands,
which were promulgated a year ago or
more, require the auditor to forward to
the secretary of war, not later than ten
days after the expiration of each
montb, certain reports, among which
was an "itemized statement of all dis
bursements." Both of them'.were also
required to transmit certified copies oF
the statements to the governor-general,
without whose signature of approval
no warrant could iBsue. Four months
ago a resolution was passed by the
bouse and another by the senate asking
for detailed, Itemized information in
regard to the finances of the island. To
one of these only a brief evaBive answer
has been returned, while the other has
been ignored altogether. The depart
ment should have this information at
hand, and even if they had not they
ought to have been able to get it in four
months. Why have thoy not done BO?
Is it because the items are too peculiar
to bear the light of publication?
Secretary Gage has informed con
gress that inquiries made by him show
that the stock of gold in the United
States Is $100,000,000 less than it
thiB
vicinity last week.
M. Lillas and Pat Dunleavey, of
Monti, were in town Sunday.
Chas Richardson, of Ilopkinion was

J. A. Thomas was the gueBt of James
Brazleton and wile at Coggon Sunday.
r-
iA 'IM
MrB. H. .Brayton and daughter, Millie
of iiarryville were shopping here Satur- sidered. The lirst official estimate to be
day. |made of total Btocki.of gold in tbe
S&££&
of $-100,-
000,000 in gold—to say nothing of a
probable corresponding
IOSB
in silver
and paper— means a loss of nearly $G
per capita, reducing the circulation to
about $20 per capita. This is lesB In
stead of greater than that of many Im
portant commercial countries. If this
fact had been known in lS'JB, it might
have changed the result of the laBt
presidential election. It is not surpris
ing that errors should have been made
before, when tbe foolish Bystem is con-
w-
United States was in 182 by Dr. Under
man, director of the mint. Since then
all other estimates have been reached
by adding to the stock of coin at that
date the annual coinage and supposed
amount of domestic coin imported, de
ducting the supposed loss by recoinage
of United States coin, tbe supposed
amount exported and the supposed
amount used in the industrial arts. The
amount carried abroad by travelers has
been considered to offset that brought
back by them—a most amazing calcu
lation, as every American who goes to
Europe undoubtedly takes out $100 for
$1 he brings back. How the error oc
curred is not so important as its effect.
It certainly gives force to the conten
ion that the money of the country haB
been contracted far beyond what WBB
supposed and shows the cause of the
depression of 1896. With a circulation
at that time of not more than $18 per
capita, it is not wonderful that the
country Bhould have suffered.
It is certainly somewhat amusing to
read the remarks of the protection
newspapers on the subject of the paper
trust. Tbat combination recently
tightened the screws and raised the
price of paper and caused a tremend
ous howl. The American Newspaper
Publishers Association, which includes
most of the large republican papers of
the country, has submitted a memorial
to the ways and means committee and
to the finance committee of the senate,
earnestly requesting "remedial" legisla
tion. The memorial recites the wrongs
inflicted upon the newspapers of the
United States by the paper truBt, and
states that the price of printing paper
has been arbitrarily increased without
reason or warrant. All truBts are the
offspring of the Dingley tariff, and are
just as arbitrary in their charges, just
as grasping and just as determined to
exact the last farthing from the con
sumer as is the paper trust. The only
difference Is that they attack the pocket
book nerve of the republican news
papers and hence these forget—for the
occasion only—their rhapsodies on pro
tection and their declarationsjthat it in
creases the general prosperity. The
very minute that the shoe pinches them
they come to congress begging for re
lief.
