WASHISGTOX LETTER.
(From our regular correspondent.)
Washington, March 8, '89.
Washington is slowly recovering
from the delirium of inauguration
week. The lust of the great throne
of non-orlice seeking visitors are
preparing to go home. As the ex
cursion tickets expire to-night, the
office-seekers who intend to remain
and fight the good fight to the
more or less bitter end have flood
ed the ticket scalpers with so much
pasteboard that you can to-day buy
a ticket to St. Louis or Chicago for
a dollar.
The prpssure for office is piti
able. The hotel lobbies are crowd
ed; congressmen are besieged, and
many members have even been
driven home since Momlay by the
solicitations of the anxious patri
ots. For every oilice paying 12,000
or even 1,500 there are a score of
applicants, and the number of
those who do not know exactly
what they do want is simply as
tounding. If any one state may
proudly boast of its supreme ener
gy in office-seeking at present, tlie
palm may be awarded to Indiana.
That state now affords active enn
dntos for every bureau head in the
departments.
- in conversation with this hungry
army, one is surprised to learn that
they expect their claims aro to be
considered within a week or ten
l;iys, certainly in two weeks, ('oil
man This, or well-known friend of
lliirrison That, has promised his
assistance. "Besides, you are
told, "if I don't get the oilice I am
after this intltience will get nie
something else about as good."
Here commences the tine work
of the worm in tho bud which
preys upon the cheek of the man
after an office. Very soon tho big
offices will be rilled, and nineteen
out of twenty will be left out in
the cold. The positions won't go
round. Will our solicitous friends
go home and plant and reap and
be content as before? One third
of them may. The others will re
main. Summer will come and find
tliem denizens of dreary second-
class boarding houses. The hotel
lobbies will still be filled with
them, sad ghosts of the last cam
paign. Those that have been in
tlie chase before will reconcile
themselves to old associations, and
those who have not beeu in Wash
ington before will accommodate
themselves to the temporizing life
as best they may, hoping against
hope that something may turn up.
When congress conies back again
next winter, the office-seekers, de
pressed but not discouraged will
be on hand.. ' rJJiiey will waylay un.
ivary statesmc.i in dark nooks of
the Canitol crlrridovs mul force
Riarge promupfi! from their pallid
tv . i pj .s i.:i i i.:..
lips. Aim aii'.'i awiiut', nun uis
money gives out iVjid the friends of
his better days begin to avoid him,
the seelcer for place will bo content
to get a $1)00 position in the census
office or some similar bureau tor
the disposal of political garbage.
Then you may see the mysterious
ly important gentleman to-ilay de
sires to be, say, Indian commis
sioner, carrying his little lunch
basket to a messenger's desk.
There aro among all these
hiinrrrv ones, a largo umber of
really good men men of honor
and usefulness at their owu homes.
Like death, this craze is no re
specter of persona. 1 met yester
day as sterling a fellow as ever
lived, a risinir young lawyer, not
to be sure a man who would ever
he a f'reat lawyer but a man who
mi l' lit. bv remaining iu Illinois, in
a few years reach a practice or
$4,000 per annum. He concluded
by saying, "you know that I have
never asked for office before." That
is tho only excuse; he has never
asked for office before. i le states
it as if it were a merit, and so it
is; but he does not tell us why he
did not retain the merit.
"That's whi't I told l!en Harri
son during the campaign, I hoard
an Indiana congressman Haying
yesteuday, audi believe I per
suaded him of it, though he didn't
seem to fel so at first. There is
nothing so honorable as the pur
suit of position. Let u great man
die; what is his biography but a
history of the offices ho lias held.
The most noted lawyer in the world
wuld have been unknown was it
not for the public offices he ha
held." What shall it profit a man
to agree with such a spoilsman
what fallacy could not be more
easily eradicated V
The new cabinet went m on
Wednesday, General Tracy, for
secretary of the navy, being the
first to take the necessary oath.
The only interest felt by tlie out
side public was in tho installation
of Mr. illaine. Quite, a crowd
gathered about the state depart
ment and waited patiently until
the hour arrived when he appeared
arid took possession. With the ex
ception of secretary Wiudom of the
treasury, Mr. Ulaino is the only
member of the new cabinet known
to the public. Whether or not any
of them shall succeed in winning
laurels or notoriety, overshadowed
by Mr. lilaiue, remains to be seen.
Washington, March 10, '89.
'From Another (V,rreel.':.'l'nt.)
There are a good many people
iu Washington just now who want
offices, and just as fast as they can
get the opportunity they are tell
ing President about it. Many of
them had a chance to make known
their wishes yesterday, 111 the cab
inet room at the White House.
The President devoted more of his
to business, and less to the tor
ment of hand-shaking than he had
previously done, but he shook ma
ny hands nevertheles.
It will pay all those wanting anything in the line of

Very few of the office-seekers,
unless personal friends of the Pies
ident veutered to present them
selves alone. The senator or repre-
tative who vouched tor them and
backed their claims was called up
on to go with and introduce them.
r or this purpose many statesman
with their cl arges went to see the
President yesterday . Little more
than the time for stating their bus
iness was given anybody. The
President had no leisure for listen
ing to long arguments
There was some astonishing rea
sons given why offices should bo
awarded to certain persons. A let
ter came yesterday which, though
not addressed to the president.
was intended to reach his eyo
eventually. "I have paid taxes
cheerfully and with respect," it
said, "for the past fifty-four years.
During the civil war I was called
upon to serve my country as a sol
dier. Because of my family, I was
unable to go into the army, but I
bought a substitute und paid
81,000 for him." Upon these cir
cumstances the writer based his
claim for office.
The President has given much
of his time to the public recap
tions rather than disappoint many
people from distant places, who
wanted to see him before leaving
the city, but the majority of the
strangers have now departed, and
the President has given formal no
tice that only from 12 to 1 o'clock
hereafter will the geaeral public
pe received, while the time Irom
10 to" VI o'clock will be dovoted to
receiving senators, representatives
and other privileged persons.
Mrs. Harrison held a pleasant
informal reception pnsterday from
3 to 4 in the red parlor of the White
House, where a few friends called
to pay their respects to the new
mistress. The dense throng of
strangers who huve for the past
besieged the mansion iu their de
termined efforts to gain an entrance
at any and every hour of daylight
had rchctautly departed, finding
the doors generally closed to the
public. In consounence ot tho
tremendous rush of visitors they
were shut at an hour earlier than
than usual and coiupartiva free
dom from intrusion was observed.
Mrs. Harrison, though looking
wearied from tho severe stiain of
the past week's excitement, extend
ed a irenial welcome to all. Mrs.
Harrison speaks verv freely of her
plaiiB, and says she hopes to bo
able to settle down this week,
when she will devote most of her
time to arranging the affairs of
her household and getting domes
tic affairs into smooth running or
der, which, in addition to the ab
sorbing social obligations of her
position, will doubtless prove a
rather more difficult task than at
first would appear. Mrs Harrison
will continu) to receive her friends
by appointment each afternoon of
the present week from IJ to 4.
John Scott Harrison, a brother
of the President, is still in the
i i i . . i .... i
city auuis inorougniy pieaseu who
the demonstration which marked
the elevation of his distinguished
relative to the Presidency. Mr. .1.
S. Harrison is smaller than tlie
President and also younger, but
there are many points of resem
blance between the brothers. He
wears a full beard and the expres
sion of his face is similar to that
of the President, His home is at
Kansns City, and it is said that he
has been in the past more of
Democrat than a Republican,
though naturally he supported the
General through the late campaign
A prominent Indiana gentleman
stated last evening that when John
Scott Harrison left Washington he
would carry with a commission au
thorizing him to executo the du
ties of United States marshal for
the western district of Missour
during the continueuce of the
nresent administration. Mr. Har
rison is much more of a "mixer
than his distinguished brother.

tune he spent with the President,
however, did not indicate that any
of such importance was discussed.
There is hardly any doubr, iu view

Phelps and the head of the state

is ir A LAW?
At the recnt session of the legis
lature an act was passed which is
known as tho "Layman High Li
cense law." It provides "that
ei'ory person obtaining a license to
soli spirituous, malt or vinous
liquors, shall pay into the county
granting such license the sum of
$400 per annum. or $200
for selling malt liquors only." It
also sets forth the conditions upon
which such license may be obtain
ed.
Tho constitution declares, that.
"No act shall take effect until
ninety days from tho end of the ses
sion at which the same shdi havd
been passed, except in-' case of
naergency ; which emergency shall
be dftuftred in tin preamble or in
the body of the law."
The legislature, in its wisdom,
deemed that there was "urgont
need of a law to prevent and pun
ish the unlawful sale of spirituous,
malt and vinous liquors," and so
stated in the body of the act, with
the condition that it should go into
effect upon its approval by the
governor.
"lhe governor did not approve
but allowed the bill to becomo a
law without his signature, notify
ing the legislative branch of the
government that he had tiled it in
the office of the secretary of stat
for that purpose. Now, the ques
tion arises, did the law take effect
from and after its being filed by
the governor with the secretary, or
must it wait the constitutional
ninety days limit the saino as if
there was no emergency set forth
therein? The inaction of the exec
utive should not 1)0 construed to
have the effect, even partially, of a
vto. The necessity for the law
Was admitted to exist. It was en
acted for the purpose of remedying
an evil. The law makers said it
should go in.) effect immediately
for cause. Has the governor the
authority to defeat the intent of
the legislature without a direct
veto and the giving of the legisla
ture the opportunity to override
that veto if it saw fit? The Trih
nne, is of the opinion that when
the governor filed that bill with
the secretary ol state, it was, lor
all the purposes of the act, "ap
proved and ot immediate toice
and effect. Otherwise every saloon
;eoper iu the slate might renew
lis license within the prescribed .
ninety days and render the law in
operative lor a year. I owns in

Vet the governor never approved
the acts by signing them. Rail
