Out of Office.
Wa"HI.nito.v, March 20, ISM.
Editor Oiti-:noN Scout:
It is helioved by those who make it
constant study of the undercurrents of
politics, that Mr. Harrison and Mr.
Blaine have made an amicable arrange
ment relating to the republican provi
dential nomination next year, and that
it is something like, this : Mr. Harri
son's friends are to announce, unolli
cinlly of course, that he is a candid-itc
for ronomination and that Mr. Maine
is for him. If this announcement,
which by the way has been pretty ex
tensively made, is cordially received by
republicans who can control the party
machinery in the several states that
can be counted upon to go republican,
it will, in due time be followed by oili
cial anumincemcnt.s from both Mi:
Harrison and his secretary of state and
the name "f Mr. Harrison will go be
fore tho convention with practically no
opposition.
If on the other hand the announce
ment shall not be well received and
the fact shall become plain that Mr.
Harrison will meet with strong opposi
tion in his own party, he will, at the
proper time, announce officially that
he will not be a candidate and the full
strength of the administration will bo
thrown to Mr. Maine. This seems to
bo all right so far as the two gentle
men named are concerned, but what
about the claims of Messrs. Ali?er, Me
Ivinley, Dopcw, et al? Not being pos
sessed with the power of prophecy, 1
will have to content myself with ask
ing this question, leaving the answer
to those more directly interested.
Tho acting secretary of the treasury
has, under the new law, declined to ex
change gold bars for gold coin, unless
the parties desiring the exchange will
pay four cents per $100, the govern
ment cost for converting the coin into
bars. The exchange is usually made
by parties who wish to ship the gold to
Europe and has heretofore been made
frco of charge. It is believed by the
treasury officials that this charge will
prevent the speculative exportation of
American gold, which will, ii it turns
out to be true, be beneficial to the peo
ple at largo, but very injurious to tho
gold speculators.
Hon. Jerry Simpson seems to be
"catching on" in great style. Ho tells
me that ho has received numerous in
vitations to make speeches in the east,
and that ho has accepted ono to speak
before a frco trade club in Now York.
There is and has been no excitement
in administration circles over tho kill
ing ofthe Italian members of tho "Ma
fia" at New Orleans, and the notion of
the Italian minister in connection
therewith. Tho minister presented a
protest from his government and Mr.
Maine telegraphed to Louisiana for in
formation. That's all thoro was of it.
No important international complica
tions arc expected to arise from it, and
no one expects that the Italian govern
ment will mako any unusual demands,
although ii delegation of fool Italians
from Chicago turned up hero this week
with their heads full of wild ideas
about apologies, indemnity and other
absurd things. For all tho satisfaction
they received they might as well have
remained at homo. It is regarded hero
as a state and not a national affair,
although if it can bo shown that any
of tho men killed were Italian subjects
congress may decide, following tho
precedent established in tho Spanish
and Chinese cases, to vote a small sum
to their families as a gratuity, it hav
ing been stated in tho acts appropriat
ing the money in the former casos that
it was so intended and was not to be
considered us indomnity.
There is a probability that Cuba may
bo tho flrit country to fool tho weight

Urid'uot, wliloli ompowurd tlio provi

moved y that uot, from liny eounlry
I hut wfiikiiit q negotiate n reciprocity
treaty. Spain hasn't exactly refused
to negotiate a treaty, but the action of
her minister in insi.-ting that Cuban
tobacco shall be included in the treaty
is equivalent to a refusal, for even if
the administration wa disposed to let
Cuban tobacco conic in free, which it
isn't, it has not the authority to do so.
Mr. Maine has sent ex-.Ministor Foster
as a special envoy lo inform the Span
ish government that it must "fish or
cut bait," and if n favorable messano is
not received from him by April 1, the
date when the sugar schedule of the
tariiTact goes fnto effect, it will not be
surprising if Mr. Harrison issues a
proclamation ordering the retention or
the present duty on Cuban sugar until
further notice.
Treasurer Huston seems to have as
much difficulty in getting out of olfice
as most men do in getting in. His last
resignation, which was thought by ev
ery one to be final, .-eems to have met.
