(From our rwular con-Mponilent,)
Washington, June 32, 1S91
The terrible effects of the crime of
"check-kiting" by private individuals
should have been sufficient to have pre
vented the treasurer of the United States
from engaging In the reprehensible prao
tice, but they were not, For two dayi
there were checks outstanding against the
treasury amounting to nearly one mUllo
dollars more than the amount of cas
available to pay them therein. Thus the
much-denied deficit made Its debut, some
people believe that Secretary Foster, by
directing these checks to be Issued when
he knew that there ere no available funds
In the treasury to meet them, so far ex
ceeded his authority as to lay himself I la
ble to Impeachment. It would be no est
cuse to say that he expected the money to
pay them to be In the treasury before they
were presented for payment that's the
excuse of all the "check kiters." Let the
fact be remembered that republicans high
and low, big and little, have persisted In
saying that there would be no deficit, and
that for two days there was a deficit, one
day amounting to $7S7,toS, and the next
to a little less. It is not surprising that
Secretary Foster was anxious to extend
the $50,000,000 of four.and a.half percent
bonds which will mature next September.
It seems to have simply been a question of
default or extension, and Mr Foster chose
the lesser evils.
Another lepubllcar. official is in trouble,
Notwithstanding the fate of his Immediate
predecessor, who was dismissed for finan
cial irregularities, in spite of the attempt
of Speaker Reed to protect and shield
him, Postmaster llathawa of the house
of representatives has got himself Into
similar scrape. Ills predecessor assessed
the contractor for hauling the mails to and
from the ofBce,and Mr Hathaway has been
assessing the employes of his office in or
der to pay salaries to his friends not car.
ried on the official pay-roll.
Steve Elkins does not propose getting
left if he can help It, as long as there is a
chance to get even at the expense of the
government, and it may be that his com
pany the North American Commercial
which is the lessee of the Alaskan Seal
privileges, was acting upon advice given
him by his friend, Mr B'aine, when it filed
notice with the treasury department of its
intention to claim $400,000 for being pre
vented from taking the stipulated number
' of seal! during the season of 1890. $150,000
for Us expenditures on the seal islands,and
an Indefinite amount for the present sea
son. Mr Blaine lias already committed
himself officially ns being of the opinion
' that the company is entitled to damages,
but it remains to be' seen whether he wilt
be willing to approve a claim of such
magnitude as Elklns has had the nerve to
present.
It has been stated here that Mr Cleve
land's favorite candidate for speaker of the
house Is Representative McMillian, of
Tennessee, It had been previously sup
posed that If Cleveland had a choice It
was Representative Mills.
Representative W L Wilson, of Wet
Viginta, who is one of the "dark horse''
candidates for speaker, has joined the ed
itorial fraternity. He is to edit the tariff
reform department of the St Louis frjix
lie. Ills editing is to be done from Wash
ngton, and he is to receive a salary of $4,
000 a year.
The National Democrat, which started
out under such flattering auspices, has been
compelled by mismanagement on the part
of Its editor and publlsher,tu suspend pub
lication, with a bona-fiJe subscription list
of more than 25,000.
Senator Kenna Is In town, lie says he
has been recently devoting his time to his
private business, and that he doesn't know
anything of Interest, politically speak ing.
Mr Harrison will come over from Cape
May Point to preside over a cabinet meet
ing Friday, which is to decide how much
Interest shall be paid on the bonds that are
to be extended and several other more or
less important questions, but Mr Harrison
probably looks forward with more interest
to the report of the true inwardness of
tilings In Ohio, which Secretary Foster,
who li now there, is expecting to bring,
than lie docs to any official business. The
Harrison men are looking crosi-eycd ot
the McKinlcy boom, nud unless McKlnley
makes a bargain with Foster to stand aside
in 1S9j.It he sliou'd be elected governor
this year, he will get no administration
support. Bat there is reason to believe
that lie will make the bargain.
The New York Vtorld Is right. . Booms
for the democratic presidential candidates
are premature. Let us see how New
York, Ohio, Iowa and Massachusetts vote
this fall, Somebody may be eliminated
and somebody alse mav become a great
factor as the outcome of this year's cam
paign.
If the democrats of Pennsylvania be
have themselves they can count that state
in the democratic column for the next ten
years, 1 he Deiamaters, Kuay, uarusiey
VVanamaker, Marsh, Dunn, Lacey and
half dozen exploded banks are too much
for even protection to protect.
The British Museum has secured from
Thibet a copy of the Jangvm, a monster
cyclopedia of Thibetan Buddhism. It com
prises 225 volumes, each of which Is two
feet long and six Inches thick. There are,
it Is supposed, only twoother copies of the
work outside of Thibet,
