It is from the south and west that is supposed to come the demand for free coinage of silver or for fiat money, and in these localities the Populist movement has started and developed. ‘Last week Tax Star published s very interest- ing review of the situation from a western standpoint in an interview with Secretary Mor- ton, who comes from the storm center of the west. Secretary Herbert is one of the ablest and best known men in public life from the south, and represents the democracy of Alabama, where the populist agitation is most active in the south aad where the political heretics are numerous. He is thoroughly familiar with the situation there and is wise in the council of the national party. In an interview sought by s repreventative of Tue Stan today Mr. Herbert said that he thought the populist movement was not now making any progress in the country, and that the teachings of those engaged in the agitation would not have any influence in shaping the policy of the democratic party. ‘TRE POPULISTS IN THE SOUTH. “In Alabama,” he said, * “there is still con- siderable activity among the populists, growing out of local causes and local in ite effect. The Populists in that section claim that they were not givens fair opportunity in the last two democratic conventions; they were not satis- fied with the rulings, the organization of the convention and the like, and they are now fighting that over again. Indeed «large num- ber of those who oppose the regular organiza- tion in Alabama do not claim to be populist, but still claim to be democrats, This quarrel causes considerable disturbance, but it is en- tirely local, and in spite of this added interest the movement appears to be falling off in Alabama, and in other parts of the south their disintegration is more apparent.” “Do you think the demands of the populists and those representing that general idea wiil strongly influence the policy and action of the democratic party?” was asked by Tur Star contrary,” the Secretary re- plied, “I think that the element which bes been wn off from the democratic party by the populist movement has left the party organi zation through the south much more strongly in the control of the conservative element. ‘Those who advanced the untenable doctrines of the populists on the money question hi formed themselves intoa third party, which dem- ocrats have to recognizeasan antagonistic party. ‘They can no longer advocate their theories im the democratic councils, and as a thitd party they are not strong enough to be dangerous. ‘That party organization which nominations of democrats to Congress and takes part in the making of presidential candidates and Presidents will be all the more apt to adhere to sound democratic principles and stand by a sound financial policy. In other words, the loss of those who have goue into the third party places the democratic or- ganization more in harmony with the policy of the administration. It is to thie organization that our men in Congress will have to rely on at home for their nomination and election.” INDIA AND THE SILVER QUESTION. “What do you think of the present situation as to silver?” “I think that the stoppage of the coinage of miverin India is the greatest blow that has been given to the Sherman law and to the free coin- age of silver. The free coinage of silver in India bas been pointed to as an object lesson by the advocates of free coinage in this coun- try. For ten years men in Congress have drawn one lesson and another from India, looking at it from different points of view. Tt bas been urged upon the farmers that India had an advantage over the United states in a higher price for wheat because the currency in India was all silver, ignoring the fact that, while they might get more for their wheat in'theit own currency. the price in gold was no greater and the commodities they bought with the money they got for their wheat to be paid for on a gold basis, and still farther overlooking the loss through’ high ex- change. Another argament often repeated, still in support of free coinage in this country, but the converse of this, has been for years that the reason for the heavy cost of exchange between India and England was that it was kept up by England for the benefit of English merchants, that they might sap the very life out of India. "Now the coinage of silver there is voluntarily stopped, with the consent of India, and it tumbles over both these arguments—that silver currenoy benefit to the farmers vf India, and that the exchange was on a system for the benefit of Engiand.” “Do you think the silver question presents » serione ea the” dewsceretio party at this aE think we dave, conch erie, and that party in power judged by the wisdom they show in giving the nation sound cur rency.” ee CHOLERA PROSPECTS, ‘The Reappearance of the Disease in Europe ‘Causes No Particular Alarm Here. ‘The reappearance of cholera in Europe does not cause any alarm among treasury officials. are daily received from United States consals and other agents abroad, and they concur that the climatic conditions that have so far obtained in Europe are not conducive to the spread of cholera there. There have been sporadic cases of cholera and some deaths from it; but the disease has not spread as it did last year, and they express the opinion that it will not reach this country. Assistant Secretary Curtis of the Treasury Department, who bias general supervision onc the marine hospital service of the treasury,coin- cides with this view of the situation as ex- pressed by foreign agents, but still maintains, and will continue to do 80, the closest scrutiny over immigrants and others coming from cholera-infected countries. ‘The system of in- spection on both sides of the Atlantic is be- lieved to be as nearly perfect as can be made. oa A CHICAGO FAKE REFUTED. No Cause for the German Postal People to Feel Agerieved at Their Treatment. The attention of Postmaster General Bissell was today called toa statement published in a Chicago morning paper to the effect that the representatives of the German postal depart- ment, now in this country, had met with a cool reception by Gen. Bissell and that they would soon retarn to Germany,with no “friendly feel- ing for him or his cohorts.” Gen. Bisvell declined to be interviewed on the subject. Capt. N. M. Brooks, the super- intendent of foreign mails, to whom the die- patch was also shown, however, said that there was not the least foundation of truth in the statement. ‘The Postmaster General had received the Germans with great courtesy and had extended to them every facility in his power to aid them in the prosecution of their inquiry into our postal methods. Neither the Postmaster Gen- eral nor Capt. Brooks believes that the article referred to could have expressed the sentiment of the German visitors, recognizi refusing to listen to the old United States at- torney. Now a judge in one of the territories refuses to turn his office over to the new judge appointed by President Cleveland, and Attor- ney Goneral Olney is somewhat embarrassed by the — =e Jndge is “removed” on paper, but ly he is in possession of his Pitlce toda: . There are also several old treas- o who resent their removal to the extent of threatening to appeal the cases to the courts. These cases differ from the cases in the Department of Justice in that the removed held their commissions from the Secre- of the Treasury instead of the President of the — States. in high official ci Some doubt is expressed official cir- cles as to the absolute right of removal of hol ‘8 presidential commission. The te Caleb is usually quoted by those who entertain this view. In a legal opinion rendered while he was Attorney General ar- gued at some length against the right of abso- lute removal of officials who were appointed by the President “with the advice and consent of the Senate.” His deduction was that the same power that consammsted the appointment ‘must co-operate in making the removal. This opinion, however, seems to stand alone, and during all administrations the power of removal has been exercised by the President, and now that that paragraph of the tenure of office act relating to the term of service has been re- pealed, it is contended that there is nothing in the law that abridges or qualifies the right of the President as to removals. Still the question is an undecided ono as far asthe courts go. The attention of the civil service commission has been called to the sub- Ject by some of those recently affected, and Commissioner Roosevelt has had an extended conference with Secretary Carlisle, presumably on this subject. - THEY CAN BE PENSIONED. | A Decision Affecting Dietary Nurses Dur- ing the War. Assistant Secretary Reynolds of the Interior Department has made a pension decision which will be welcome news to a large number of women who ministered to wounded soldiers in hospitals during the late war. They are to be placed on the pension rolls. The question arose upon # communication | pote. from the commissioner of pensions as to whether those women who superintended the diet of the sick and wounded soldiers were en- titled to pensions under the provisions of the act of August 5, 1892, commonly known as the nurses’ act. Assistant Secretary Reynolds, after careful consideration, holds that these ‘persons are en- titled to pensions. The commissioner has been instructed to place the names of dietary nurses upon the rolls when they furnish proof that they were employed directly by the surgeon general of the army, or that the person who employed them had proper authority and that this authority was resognized by the War De- it. partment. The beneficiaries of this decision are mainly women who were sent by the United States Christian commission to hospitals for the pur- Pose of superintending the special diet kitchens of the same upon the request of the surgeon general. Mrs. Annio Wittenmeyer was one of fheso and she tablished special diet kitchens In many hospitals for the purpose of giving invalid soldiers proper food. Ei Reynolds’ decision is an interesting “This class of applicants present strong claims upon the government for special consid- eration. The dietary nurse sustains a relation toa patient which is much skin to that of » medical adviser. Physicians themselves are constantly urging the efficiency of dict asa safeguard against disease as wellas a remedy therefor. “It required intelligent as well as delicate knowledge of the nature and effect of certain foods to fita woman for such a position. They often have for this a peculiar fitness, and the services rendered by such women are inval- uable and entitled to great consideration. “ lore consider their pensionable status under the act unquestionable. All claims un- der this act should be adjudicated in accord- ance with the foregoing views.” ee ee NOT TO BE ABANDONED. ‘The Winder Building Wil! Not Be Given Up, as Proposed. ‘The War Department has deemed it inexpe- @ient to abandon the building at 610 17th street, known as Winder’s annex, used by» branch of the record and pension office, and arrangoments are now being made with Mr. Clark, owner of the prem- ises, to renew the lease for another year from July 1. It was originally proposed, ‘on the score of economy, to transfer the force in this building, numbering about forty per- sons, to the Union building, on G street near 7th street, with the old force of the wrecked theater building. The pian has been a doned, however, impracticable. Now instead of taking the clerks out of Winder's annex itis p to increase the force of eaployss fo Goat building by waking, pro- vision there for the printing branch of the office formerly located in Ford's Theater, and which has been without ahome since the accident. SAID TO BE SAFE. ‘The military board which inspected the Win- der annex reported that it is strong, well built and perfectly safe. In view of the fact that it is proposed to place a large printing press on the fist floor it fe Probable, however, that extra precautions will be taken tostrengthen the walls of the building. The new lease will be particularly strict inthe matter of repairs to premises, — HIS VOTES FOR FREE SILVER. ‘The republican leaders who will participate in this year's campaigns are preparing to make a general onslaught on the democratic party on the financial question. Senator Sherman is st the head of the list, and the indications are that he-will sound the keynote. He has a corps of secretaries at work here collating the silver legislation and the debates in Congress on the subject since 173, and his purpose is to make this data the text ofa speech, which his ad- mirers believe will be the most important de- liverance of his public life. It is not certain as yet whether this speech will be made from the stamp in Ohio or from Mr. Sherman’s place in the Senate when the extra session of Congress begins. Butin either event the republicans will stake everything upon the speech, and fol- low Mr. Sherman wherever he may lead. THRY CALL THI8 GOOD POLITICS. ‘The republican leaders defend this as good politics, They declare that because Mr, Sher- man stands ready to support the President and Secretary Carlisle in the effort to put a stop to the further purchase of silver bullion he is not debarred from showing up the record, and particularly that portion of it which Mr. Carlisle when in Congress helped to make. Mr. Sherman seems to think he will score heavily by calling attention at this time to the fact that Mr. Carlisle as a member of Congress Voted several times for the free coinage of v WHAT DEMOCRATIC LEADERS TAINE. Democratic leaders, however, differ with Mr. Sherman in bis estimate of the value of such material. They ssoribe his purpose to sensi- tiveness because of the fact that the objection- able legislation which everybody now wants re: pealed bears his name. In a long fall of ancient history, dry details an ti comparison of ords, they say he will seek to draw attention away from the Sherman law and fix it on democratic votes cost from time to time for free coinage. This, prominent demo- crats assert, will not serve the Senator's pur- MUST FACE THE PRESENT SITUATION. ‘What he and_ his republican colleagues must face, according to the democratic view, is the present situation and not situations long since settled. The one record is closed. The present question relates to supporting « recommendation which n democratic 9 will submit to the next Congress calling for legislation calculated to put the finances of the country ona sound and satisfactory basis. In other words, as democrats here view the matter Mr. Sherman and his friends can only hope to be effective now by soting ona living measure and not by an ill-tompered resume of the ailver record made by Congress during the last twenty years, +~——-2-—_—__—_—_ NO GENERAL DISMISSALS. the It is stated authoritatively at the Interior Department today that there will not be any material number of dismissals July 1, in either the census office, pension office, or, infact,in any branch of the department. There will be quite a large number of promotions and some reduc- ‘tions in the general land office, with probably some in the pension office, but there will be very few, it any, dismissals, This statement is made to allay the feeling of uneasiness which seems to prevail among the cletke consequent upon lat rumors of wholosale dismissals at the begin- ning of the fiscal year. ee es THE ICE QUESTION. Local Companies Keduce Their Bids and Will Probably Get the Contract. Representatives of the several executive de- partments assembled at the Post Office De- partment at 12 o'clock today to finally con- sider the ice question. The ice dealers met yesterday at the Post Office Department and revised their bids, each company modifying its bid by substituting 28 cents per 100 pounds in lien of its former bid. ‘These amended bids will doubtless be so- cepted by the several departments, and they i, for the first time, all be su with an article at a uniform price, viz.. 28 cents per 100 pounds. The combine has thus been broken. ‘The representative of the Fairmount Company of Philadelphia was on the ground with «a bid at 2% cents 100 pounds, but was not fully prepared to begin the service July 1. How- ever, this company will, itis said, be heard from next year,as well as a new local company which is soon to begin the construction of a mam- moth plant for the manufacture of ice, which they propote to have in operation within four months’ time. oes Bids Were Opened. Bids for constructing a wharf and outbuild- ings at the quarantine station, Fisherman’ Island, near Cape Charles, Va., were opened the Treasury Department today. J. H. Hath- away & Co. of Philadelphia, Pa., were the low- est bidders at $13,995. ‘The bid’ of Sanford & Brooke of Baltimore, Md., was also $13,995, but the time was longer. —— Deputy Commissioner Murphy 111. Mr. Dominick I. Murphy, first deputy com- missioner of pensions, is confined to his home by illness. He has been ill for several days, and today seemed to be somewhat worse than yesterday. Naval Militia. The Navy Department is doing everything within its power to stimulate the development of the naval militia. and ospecially in the states along the lake border. At present it is Jendin, its aid toward the o1 ation of the naval | militia in Michigan, and is now sénding to the local authorities in ‘that books and pam- hlets containing instructions and suggestions for the organization of the force.
