Show our washington lotter frow our regular lit gular correspondent IVA NOV 19 10 94 the democratic senators and representatives who have been in wa washington sh ington since the election have with will one or two exceptions talked in a manner that indicated the proper spirit their greatest csire they have said is to t 0 allow the I 1 past ast to rest and to have the democratic party take a fresh stat stai t by getting together in congress con ress and adopting some legislation that will help belp the coun country and incidentally the democratic party it in 19 just what legislation shall he abed upon is is a question that will de termine very soon how bow deep this anxiety for party harmony barino gos go os s the idea I 1 have heard most generally expressed by democrats is that senators and es should not commit themselves delves to the support t of any particular tariff or financial legislation until il after the recommendations on those subjects contained in the president s annual message to congress are made public that would leave them free to accept the presidents deats recommendations recommendation should they he be of such a rathie a as to be acceptable to the democratic party as a whole which they are almost certain to be with tile the democrats in senate and house acting in harmony much luch it can be accomplished in a legislative 11 ir way ay during the three months of the short session without harmony diere is no hope of accomplishing hing anything and would not be even if the session were to be three times three months long 0 since S ince president cleveland an bounced that lis his annual message to congress would contain important financial ream recommendations mend actions based bas ed secretary carlisles annual report democrats have been greatly interested in learning the nature of secretary carlisles report but it i as yet a secret confined to those who have promised to keep it until the report and the presidents message ines sage are made public secretary carlisle ha ba not 3 et been at his onice oace for several days preferring to work upon his report rep art at his home where he be is free from interruption it is said that

liis his constitutional authority in dealing 0 with the proposed t d mediation of the trouble between lapan japan and china their whole story satorv is built on a wrong foundation they sav say that president cleveland has offered to act as mediator ite has done kotbin nothing 10 of the kind at the request of the chinese government n overn ment he directed secretary G graham to ask the Japanese government if it would favorably consider a proposition to have the united st states ates act as mediator in 0 order to put an end to the war it will be difficult to make sensible deop people e who are upon principle opposed to war believe that the president exceeded his authority in thus trying 0 to end a war between two nation with ith which we are on friendly terms how w friendly we are with japan may be judged from the fact that a new treaty ha has just been concluded with that country chere i is little danger daner c that the republicans public ans of the next house will carry out the
