were clamoring for office, and that
the committee hoped, by ignoring
these accusations, to' secure the fa­
vor of the Commissioner, and conse­
quently appointments for their
friends. Baker is one of the Dela­
no’s most subservient tools. It is
through Baker that Delano perpe­
trates many of his impositions upon
the government. I f Delano wants
an ofice for any of his horde of stri­
kers, he has only to intimate his de­
sire to Baker and a place is found,
at once, on the roll of the pension
office.
Baker would long since
have been turned out of his present
position, neck and heels, but for the
influence which the plausible Dela­
no has exerted to retain him, not­

is, unless you have plenty of money,

There are are always more or less
men hanging around Washington,
who, to enrich themselves, would
not scruple to peril the best interests
of tbeir country — of the entire race,
for that matter. One of the most
dangerous rings of that description,
now here, is the “ Cuban Ring,” the
members of which are large holders
of Cuban bonds, at present, of
course, valueless, but which would
be worth, perhaps, five cents on the
dollar for a few weeks, if our Gov­
ernment were to adopt the suicidal
policy of neglecting its own business
to interfere in the domestic troubles
of Spain, by recognizing the Cuban
insurrectionists as belligerents. And
it is the sole business of these bond­
holders to urge’ Congress to adopt
that policy—in other words, to give
value to the bonds. I will not at­
tempt to say that Senator Carpenter
and Representative Polaud hope to
reap any personal pecuniary advan­
tage from the passage of such reso.
lutions as tlipy have introduced to
the houses of which they are respect­
ively members; because I do not
no that to be the case. But the
whole thing has an ugly look, to say
the least. Casey, of New Orleans
Custom House notoriety, and broth-
er-in law of the President, is under­
stood to be largely interested in Cu­
ban bonds. He spends a good deal
more time in Washington than in
the Crescent City, where simple-
minded people suppose his duty lies,
and he is the leading lobbyist for
“ recognition.”
Happily for the
country, Casey’s connection with
these bonds, and the fact that they
are openly advertised for sale by
an agent here, have led cautious
members of both houses to investi­
gate this whole Cuban business; aDd
a large majority of those who have
no interest iu the bonds have con­
cluded to let Cuba severely alone,
because there is not, and never has
been, any general insurrection of
the people of the island of such a
character as to justify their recogni­
tion as belligerents by a government
at peace with with Spain. The fac-
tionists in arms against the govern­
ment of Spain would have had laid
down their arms years ago had it
not been for the aid and comfort
they have received, and further ex­
pect, from mercenary Americans of
the Casey stripe. The war depart­
ment of the insurrectionists has nev­
er been in Cuba, but always in
Washington; and their principal de­
pots for war material and recruits
have been in New York, Baltimore,
and New Orleans.

If my letter is too long, you can
stop at this, but if you can spare the
space I will give you a description
of the people you meet with here,

to understand that in the large

the constant intercourse with the
Indian, they have acquired every
bad habit which that race is accused
of. I don’t know whether the Indi­
ans learned v it from them, or they
from the Indian, but a genuine old
Webfoot can out lie any red man
that ever lived, especially when he
thinks he .'an make 5 pent« br it.
Gratitude is a thing unknown to
them; the more you favor them, the
worse for you. Ark any merchant
in the valley, he will substantiate
wtiat I nmj . luey are, m niioit, a
stingy unpious set of people. Uu-
ike the Indian, there is not a good
'rait about them, their sole object
is to make all the money they can,
and keep it, no matter how it is made.
They will as soon hang themselves
as assist a widow or orphan in need,
unless, perhaps, they know they will
get well paid for it.
Now Mr. Editor, you may think I
overdraw the picture, but t assure
yon T am to poor a writer to give the
subject full justice- I know there
are some oi the Milwaukee people
who have been out here; ask them,

was then so it is now. There is one
