OUR WEEKLY LETTER FROM WASHINGTON (From Our Regular Correspondent.) Washington, Oct. 31, 1901. President Roosevelt is doing sou** very hard thinking these days and the results are by no means reassuring. A month ago he had no conception of the dilemmas a man who desired above all else to be true to his country, hi* party and lus own chances of a second term would find in the White House. He is, however, having those things thrust upon him. He finds a growing demand in the *\ve#t for a reduction of those sched ule* of the tariff which are protect ing the trusts and this demand is ‘being fed by such men as Babcock to whom local issues and the man of his own constituents seem to be ali important. On the other hand he finds that he is almost powerless to effect any relief from present con ditions. He is beginning to realize that, after all, a president’s power is limited in many ways and in many directions. The party leaders have, in re spouse to the president request bean coming to Washington and moot of them tell him that it will be impossible to secure any legislation ' by the coming congress that does not meet with the entire approval of the trusts. They tell him that while reciprocity is excellent as “a talk ' ing point” it will not “go” with the ; senate. They tell him that be ! must not try to effect any legisla- | ♦ion which will prove of advantage ; to Cuba because the party is pledged to protect tfie sugar inter est* in 11 is country. On the other hand he is too keen a judge of hu man nature to minimize the danger of permitting the coming,eminently j republican, congress to push into j history with a record of having in- | variably either legislated or failed; to legislate in accordance with the 1 drains of tiie vested interests. Senator Aldrich,of Rhode Island, j “read the riot act” to the president J on tiie subject of those reciprocity treaties and Mr. Roosevelt appre ciates that practically all hope of! tlu*ir ratification must be abandon- ; ed. He also spoke very plainly on ' th* subject of Cuba and pointed to the party platforms of the last de cade as evidence that sugar iuter . cste must be protected. Mr. Henry P. Oxnard has been in Washington j this week and has given notice j that any legislation inimical to the sugar interests will be met with a bitter fight. Mr. R. C. Kerens, j the member of the republican national committee from Missouri, :ahed at the white house and •v. ,*lt with much stress upon the western demand for taliff revision. The president has, it is said, re quested Secretary Wilson to go ont west and try and forestall criticism bated 011 the failure of the recipro city treaties. At all events Mr. Wilson left for lowa yesterday aud befpre going he told me that he ffl tevided to explain to the people of lo\va the situation in regard to "the continued need of protection” ad th* true basis of reciprocity.” The presieent has taken the bull by the horns and instructed Secre tary Root to try and gefc along without sending any more troops to ftfce Philippines to take the place ofdfca.ooo men whose terms of enlist ment are about to expire. 1 under stand the president spoke pretty plainly about the reports that had been given out as to “pacification,” etc., and also called attention to the fact that that the Samar affair showed a sad lack of precaution on th* part of the officers. The story of a very earnest cabi net meeting held last week ha* also leaked out. The story is that the president opened the cabinet meeting of last Friday with a few very pointed inquiries of Secretary Long in regard to affairs in the navy department and the secretary had to acknowledge a lack of personal information aud no amount of trust in his subordinates which was sur prising. The president, so the st*ry goes, immediately and per emptorily demanded Admiral Cfowninshield’s resignation as chief of the bureau of navigation. Secretary Long replied that Ad miral Crowninshield had already offered his resignation and that he had remained at his, Long’s re-, quest until after the Schley court of Inquiry should reach a finding. That did not effect the president. He wanted the xesignation imme diately. Finally Secretary Gage stepped in as peace-maker and sug. gested that perhaps a transfer that would in the nature of a promotion would satisfy the president’s de mand without sacrificing Secretary T.ong’s dignity. This was finally acceded to and the result was the admiral’s promotion to the com mand of the European station. The rumor is now current that Admiral Crowinshield’s flagship ill be manned by the men who ere antagonistic tc Schley, at lea*t the will. The commission for codifying the federal statutes will, I under stand, report to the next session of congress a law covering all attacks on the president. It was found on examination that in parts of the country an attack on the president which did not prove fatal could not he punished and to remedy the this peculiar condition this law was drafted. The law concerns only attacks made on the chief execu tive as such, for any attack made upon personl grounds would come under state jurisdiction. The law piovides that any threat againt the j president, whether verbal or made jin writing, shall be regarded as a Lfelony and punishable by a fine of $5,000 and any attack upon bis personal, whether successful or otherwise, shall meet with capital punishment. The bill further pro vides that aceessdrles before the fact shad be held to an equal re sponsibility with tha direct assail ant Great Interest i* being manifest ed in Washingt n this Week in the state campaigns. The efforts of the better elemet of Philadelphia to obtain a respectable city gov ernment and fcfar* ttmgg 1* the respectable element throughout the state to throw off the yoke of Matt Quay and republican machine fe? attracting much attention. The situation had become *0 bad in Philadelphia that it became imper ative ior the better element of the republican party to join forces with the democrat* in their struggle against municipal corruption. The Maryland campaign also has a greater interest than would be usual in an off year because of the fact that if the state goes dem ocratic it will meau the return of Arthur P. Gorman to the United States senate, and hi* election to the senate would mean hia return to a position very near the head of the list of the democratic leaders and, in th* opinion of some good democrats, his nomination in 1904. A Physician Testifies. “I have taken Kodol Dyspepsia Cure and have never used any thing in my life that did me the good that it did,’’says County Phy sician Geo. W. Scroggs of Hall County, Ga. “Being a physician I have prescribed it and found it to give the best results.” If the food you eat remains undigested in your stomach it decays there and poison* the svstem. You can prevent this by dieting but that means starvation. Kodol Dyspep sia Cure digests what you eat. You need suffer from neither dys pepsia nor starvatiom. The worst cases quickly cured. Never fails. BREAD FAMINE RIOT- Guard* at Grain Warehouses Shoot Men. Women and Children. San Antonia, Tex**, Oct. 30. — Advices were received here to night of a terrible fight Monday evening at Puruandiro, state of Michoacan,Mexico, in which seven persons lost their lives and over a score more ware wounded. Men, women and children were shot down by guard* surrounding ware houses filled with corn and meal. The bread famine which ha* been raging in that vicinity for the past few months has gotten the people into a turbulent atate and many w*re on the varga of death from *twrvtto. Since the Mexican government removed th* dnty from corn th* latter product has bea concerned by speculators. Ties prffee w*s raised to so great an extent that it was not within the means of the poorer classes to buy. Their work ' would not be received in payment for small quantitive of corn. Riot* • have been brewing for some time, and previous to Monday the auth orities liad succeeded in keeping the lower classes in cheek, day morning large groups began gathering, and soosn formed into a mob and made an attack on the warehouses. The children and women in the front ranks were shown ho pity, being mowed down by bullets as w;ere the man. *— —w Koi table ttiut Gentle. “April’s a pill,” says the saw.

The Reading of Boys- Boston Herald, The Providence Journal, speak ing of the books for children that are coming out in enormous sup ply, presuming that many of them are harmless, says that "young minds appreciate the good in lit eiature much more keenly than is generally believed, and that an or dinarily intelligent boy would get far more pleasure, as well as pre fit, out of Scott and Snakespeare than he gets ont of the common place stories of adventure so lavish ly provided for him.” This lofty ideal of the “ordinarily intelligent hoy” is frequently expressed, but we do not believe that it is well founded. It it is. why do so few boys read Scott aud Shakespeare by preference? These works are in thousands of homes, and all the libraries, w here boys can get them. Some boys do read them, but the fame of their superior interest does not spread rapidly among them. According to our observation boys, even those of rather superior in telligence, do not often take to Scott and Shakgspanre, unless they are introduced to them bv having' them read aloud aud talked about at home or by older friends. How many “ordinarily intelligent” men and women read Shakespeare with appreciation or know more of his works than what they have learn ed at school and the theatre? Boys are not averse to talking with their mates about the books from which they derive most pleasure, and the bov under 16 who is enthusiastic oyer Scott and Shakespeare is a rarity, and one who has uncom mon maturity of mind.
