Washington iecial: Mrs. Harrison's
present illness has called attention to
the niihralthfulnesa and iualejiiacy of
the white house, and lias aroused pub
lic sentiment here in favor of a new ex
ecutive mansion. The white bouse has
miserable plumbing, snd the eer
gaj.es can be tasted on a foggy day
in any part of the building. 'I hen the
house is too small. There are but five
bed rooms in it, and when the presi
dent and Ins wife have a few relatives
visiting them, as at present, they are
crowded. There is sufficient mrlor
room, probably, but tins must be given
to the public and could not lie utilized
by a domestic family, as it is alone, the
ground floor Iwiug rut off from the
other part of the building. 'Iliree or
four times during the psst decade tho
somite has adopted bills making appro
lriBtioiin for the construction of a family
residence for the president. 1 lie sum
named for the building and its furnish
ing have varied from a quarter to three
quarter of million dollars. ! or
two of the bills have provided for the
purchase of grounds in the suburbs,
the hills on the northern boundary be
ing in mind, ahilo the others have con
templated the construction of building
on the park square immediately north
of and across Pennsylvania avenue from
the white house. The venerable Sena
tor Morrill, of Vermont, has two or
three times advocated the construction
of a family residence for the president,
presenting plans for it and shaking in
its behalf, and he will proWbly renew
bis efforts at the approaching session oi
congress. Kvery dsy the necessity of
such a provision is more and more seen,
not altogether on account of the cramil
condition of the family of the president
in its present quarters and the unhealthy
condition of the old building, but on ac
count of the necessity for more room in
which to transact the public business.
There has leen a complete rearrange
ment of the rooms for the clerk, at the
white house so as to utilme the room to
tho bent osible advantage, ami yet all
are crowded. Two clerks have been put
out in the telegraph office, while anolier
one is at work in one of the outer wait
ing rooms. There is no privacy for the
president, his private secretary or any
one. The space on the second floor is
occupied, every inch of it Now that
there is s surplus, a iieoeity and a re
publican msjontr, it is prosd to take
action for the building of a private resi
dence for the executive family.
TANNEB TALKS l-ENHIONK.
Corporal Tanner, the newly apiKiinted
conmiisMoiier of iiensions, when asked
what licv he would pursue in dealing
with the aflTairs of tho bureau, said:
"i can Im-K answer that by quoting one
of (ien. Harrison's remarks made dur
ing the last campaign. Ho aaiil: "(ien
tlemen, it is no tirno to use the axthe
cary's scales when you come to weigh
the services of the men who (saved this
nation. ' It seems to me thnt that is a
pretty good motto for all the -ople of
the l uited States to adopt If I were
asked to define my ideas on this tension
in a sentence, I should unhesitatingly
reply: 'A pension for every surviving
soldier who needs one, and no soldier's
widow, father or mother should Ite in
want.' I nm going to take bold of this
mighty machine, and 1 am not f'd
enough to think I have nothing to learn
of its working."
"Are you in favor of an increase in
the soldiers' pensions"
"I tell you frankly, I am opposed to
these $1, $2 and $:J a month -iisious.
If yon are going to give a tuan anvtbing
give him euotlill that be nnv rcnlizfl be
is getting something, If "there is an
old soldier who has got a claim that vou
are satisfied is a grxxl one and he has
not quite proved it, tho .olicy is to as
sist him to secure that proof. Vou may
say that I am oppose,! to knocking out
soldiers' claims because of a technical
shortcoming."
