WASHINGTON LETTER. The Inauguration Preparations Are Being Pushed to Completion. Appropriations lncrrs ly the Senate The Tax on C'liraretts Asked to lie MBde I'roblhltlve A New York Custom House. (From Our Regular Correspondent.) Washington, Feb. 15th. Inaugu ration echoes nro now licnrd wherever one turns in Washington. Work upon tho street stands from which n portion of tho spectators will view the parade, which promi ses to lie the handsomest, if not the largest, ever seen, has been started, and the inauguration committee has begun the distribution of fifty thousand paper flags and fifteen thousand portraits of Mcliinley and Unhurt, to bo used by tho residents along the route of the parade to as si.st in decorating their houses. These are given away by the Com mittee. So general is tho sentiment in favor of hnving the West Point and Annapolis Cadets take part in the parodo that it seems probable tho joint resolution, offered in the Senate by Mr. Fryo, nnd in the House of Represcntntives by Mr. Baker, of New Hampshire, request ing tho President to order the cadets and their bands to Washing ton and appropriating tho money to pay their expenses, will go through. It is known that Mr. Cleveland favors having the cadets in the parade and that ho will gladly issue the order if Congress will adopt the resolution. Tho Democrats are already bo ginning their howl about the total amount of the appropriations that will bo made by the . fif ty-fonrth Congress. It is true that the total of tho appropriations for the two years will exceed $1,000,000,000, but the Democrats would show more wisdom if they would point out a single appropriation made, or to bo made in tho short time remaining of th'sossion, that is not needed, or that the government will not get full value for, instead of yelling "extravagont appropriations" like a lot of parrots. Tho Senate is not a Republican body would that it were yet it has not only approved all of the appropriations mado by tho House, but has in nearly every bill increased them. Besides, it should not be forgotten that a con siderable amount of the monoy ap propriated by this Congress was made necessary by continuing con tracts made by the last Democratic Congress for River nnd Harbor im provements, public buildings nnd the increase of tho Navy. Chair man Cannon, of the House Commit tee on Appropriations, correctly stated the situation when be said that contracts previously made had to be observed j that Congress could not allow unfinished public buildings to remain exposed In all kinds of weather, and that tho pension laws could not be ignored. In short.that no appropriations have been made that were not necessary for the con duct of the government and tho pre servation of its interests. Mr. Can non's idea, of economy in public ex penditures are so rigid that he has offended many personal friends by refusing to sanction propositions for oppropriations which have come before his committee. There is no item in any appropriation made by tho fifty-fourth Congress that any Republican need lie ashamed of ; tho appropriations are all needed and the money is all to be spent among the people and for tho people. It is about Bottled that the arbi tration treaty will not be voted upon at this session, but will go over to the extra session of the Senate, that will meet March 4th, and remain in session until tho extra session of the full Congress meets. This has been made necessary by the oppo sition to the treaty in the Senate. Representative Wotxlmun, of Illi nois has asked the House Ways and Means Committee to increase the re venue tax on cigarettes from 50 cents to $50 a thousand. Mr. Wood mun's object is to stop the smoking of ciguretts by children, which he says is "a habit which is destroying our youth, rilling our insane asylums and shrouding in gloom, by the do struction, mentally, morally and physically of their young sons, many of the bet homes of our land." Mr. Woodman said in his sjieech to the Committee : "As long as boys tan buy the death-dealing article uU(xmt a piece or two for a cent, so long will the evil continue. When they are taxed so as to pro duce a larger revenue, which tux will jiluco them out of tho reach of school children, then Mr. Chairman, we may look for ft mitigation nf the evil. Then may we look for a pro tection that protects. Then may we congratulate ourselves on having IH-rformcd one not tho results of which tho whole nation, with one accord, will approve." Representative White, of Chicago made quito u stir nt tho last meeting of the House Cnmmitte i on pnblie buildings and grounds by charging that the insertion of the name of Ex Mayor Grant of New York, a son-in-law of Senator Murphy, as one of the five Commissioners pro vided fur in the bill for the new New York Custom-House, and of one of tho other Commissioners, was the result, of a deal. The Commis sioners ore to get $5,000 a year and no limit is set to the time they are to take for the stile of the present Custom House and tho erection of the proposed now ono. Tho hill is now before the Committee on ac count of amendments added by the Senate, one of which is Mr. Grant's name, Mr. White wants to strike out the Commission entirely. 1807 fit KSCKNTS 1HI17.

The steam pipes became overheated and the packing in which they are wrappud caught fire causing much smoke, but no flame.

Abe Ost languishes now in jail, Ho wooed a maid a little frail, The justice sternly said, give bail. He could not, and that ends the tale. Thanks, Mr. Hart. Hon. J. J. Hart has our thanks for a package of seeds. We are great on corn, sound on " pumpkin pie," dutch enough for cabbage, suffici ently green for lettuce, and thor oughly Democratic when it comes to onions. Hence the donation har monizes beautifully with our tnuto. Now if Congress would only provide us a man with a hoe we might have a lot of vegetables for next winter '4 use. s
