OUR WEEKLY LETTER
FROM WASHINGTON
(From Our Regular Correspondent.) ■
Washington, Nov. 21, 1901.
“Senator, what will be the dem
ocratic policy in the fifty-seventh
congress?” I asked Senator Vest,
of Missouri, in his comfortable
home on P St. yesterday. “Watch
and wait,” was the reply. “What
else can we do? The republicans
have a majority of two to one in
the senate and a large majority in
the house. No, the democrats will
not attempt any obstruction meth
ods. The people have sent a large
republican majority to congress,
they have the privilege, and the
responsibility of sending whom
they please to represent them and
it is only right that we should
abide by the results.”
“Will the people J>e pleased
with the results?” “That remains
seeu. Everyone knows that the
republican high tariff policy has
built up the trusts and that those
trusts are selling the same goods
to foreign consumers for from
twenty five to forty per cent, less
than to the American consumer.-;
but if the people enjoy it, it is
tljeir privilege to perpetuate this
condition of affairs. Of course,the
weak spot in the republican armor
is the trusts. Mr. Roosevelt, who
is more fearless and more honest
than his party, appreciates thisand
he would like to curtail their ra
pacity but, mark my words, there
will be no change in tariff sched
ules and no reciprocity treaties
ratified. The manufacturers and
the large capitalists who control
the republican party will not per
mit it. Sooner or later the people
will realize the injustice that is be
ing done to them, and when they
do, there will be a revulsion of feel
ing. Until then, the democrats
have nothing to do but to watch
and wait.”
■‘How would you prevent the
trusts, senator?” “Simply by re
moving the conditions that have
produced them. The trusts are
the natural product of artificial
conditions. The destruction of
competition by high protection has
re. ulted intrusts. Restore compe
tition, and the trusts will fall.
They tell us England has trusts.
It is not so. Mr. W. L. Wilson
went to England and made a care
ful investigation and he assures me
they have no trusts. The paper
manufacturers once o-ganized one
and put up prices, but the news
papers promptly placed their orders
with French and American manu
facturers and the trust fell to pieces.
When the American trusts charge
exoibitant prices the consumei
cannot buy elsewhere because of
the tariff, and the trusts know it
and naturally they use their power
ful influence to perpetuate the
party that makes their existence
possible.”
There is good reason to believe
that nitre will be a sericuis lack of
harmony in the house during the
coming congress, but nothing will
be accomplished that will interfere
with the trusts paying their present
profits on watered stock. Repre
sentative Burton, of Ohio, a por
tion of whose district is in the city
of Cleveland, has given notice of
his intention to fight Senator
Hanna’s ship-subsidy bill. Mr.
Boutell will fight the present
schedules of the Dingley bill,
Rep; esentative Babcock will fight
the steel trust and altogether there
is promise of a lively session I
overheard yesterday, a republican
senator lamenting the absense of
Speaker Reed. He said that no
man could control an unruly house
like “The Czar.”
Representative John F.Shafroth,
of Colorado, has just returned from
the Philippines and brings with
him a tale of woe. He predicts
that fcr years we will be obtiged to
maintain there an army of not less
than thirty thousand men at an
annu 1 cost of $45,000,000 which
is more than the islands will afford
in the form of taxes. He does not
believe they will be any source of
assistance in establishing an Asiatic
trade and altogether he considers
our C*ental acquisitions a very
bad bargain.
An example of the extravagant
methods of the present administra
tion is shown by the present reor
ganization by Secretary of the
Interior, Hitchcock, of his division
of forestry, and the appointment at
its head of Professor Filibert Roth,
a former subordinate of Mr. Giffo and
Pinchot, chief of the Bureau of
loiestry of the department of agri
culture. The bureau of forestry
was already in existence,thorough
ly equipped and conducted by an
eminently competent chief. It had
already done a large amount of
preliminary work of the fifth mil
lion acres of forest reserves which
will be the chief caie of Secretary
Hitchcock’s division, aid was more
capable of propei lv not ducting the
work than the interior division can
-hope to be for years. Every cou

sideration of economy favored the
transfer of the vast area of forest
reserve to the care of the bureau
of forestry. ♦ An effort was made to
accomplish this end during the last
congress, but was defeated by the
republican spoilsmen because the
bureau of forestry was conducted
under thecivil service classification
and the division of forestry has the
disposition of a “lump fund” of
$300,000 which is distributed en
tirely 011 the lines of patronage to
about five hundred appointees.
It is a common report in Wash
ington that the gravest abuses
exist in the alleged care of our
foiest reserves and some of Secre
tary Hitchcock’s recent orders give
vidence that he is acquainted
with their existence. The fact that
26.000,000 board feet of lumber
and 21 cords of wood w ere sold last
year for a total of $30,000, which
means that the government 1 ■
ceiveit about $1 per thousand boaru
feet for lumber and about 15 cents
per cord for fire wood, is in itself
indicative of a condition which re
quires correction.
Professor Rota is an earnest and
capable man. but restricted as he
will be in his new position by the
red tape of the land office and the
spoils system which governs his
subordinates it is not to be antici
pated that he will be able to mate
rially remedy existing conditions.
The remarkable meekness with
which Secretary of the Treasury
Gage receives the continued snubs
of the president and his absolute
refusal to understand that his res
ignation would be more apprecia
ted than his presence in the cabi
net is a source of amazement and
mortification to his friends. When
the president recently appointed
Senator Stranahan to the eolleet
orship of New York, the first inti
mation that Mr. Gage received was
on a card which Mr. Stranahan
brought him, saying that he had
been appointed.
Takecareof the stomach and
the health will take care of itself.
If people only realized the sound
ness of that statement the majority
might live to a good old age like
Moses, “the eye undimmed, the na
tural force unabated.” It is from the
stomach that the blood is made. It
is from the stomach that nourish
ment is dispensed to nerve and
muscle. If the stomach is '‘weak”
it can’t do its whole work for each
part of the body. If it is diseased
the disease will taint the nourish
ment which is distributed, and so
spread disease throughout the
body. It was the realiziation of
the importance of the stomach as
the very center of health and the
common source of disease, which
led Dr. Pierce to prepare his “Gol
den Medical Discoverv.” “Diseases
which originate in the stomach
must be cured through the stom
ach.” I'lie soundness of this theory
is proved every day by cures of
diseased organs, heart,liver, lungs,
blood, —by the use of the “Discov
ery” which is solely and singly a
medicine for the blood and organs
of digestion and nutrition. It is a
temperance medicine containing no
alcohol, whiskey or other intoxi
cant.
Modern Surgery Surpassed
“Whi e suffering f o n a bad ca e
of piles 1 consulted a physician
who advised me to try a box of
DeWitt’s Witch Hazel Salve,”
says G. F. Carter, Atlanta, Ga.
‘•I procured a box and was entire
ly cured. DeWitt’s Witch Hazel
Salve is a splendid cure for pi’es.
giving relief instantly,and I hearti
ly recommend it to all sufferers.”
Surgery is unnecessary to cure
piles. DeWitt’s Witch Hazel
Salve will cure any case. Cuts,
burns, bruises and all other
wounds are a'so quickly cured bv
it. Beware of counterfeits.

CHANGES SUGGFSTED-
Ten Propositions Submitted by
Committee on the Revision.
Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 21. —The
, joint committee, appointed under
the resolution of Senator Bell, to
! suggest needed changes in the
| constitution, practically closed up
its work this afternoon and recom
mended ten changes in the consti
tution, as follows:
Reducing pensions to an indigent
basis.
The establishment of a court of
appeals.
The election of the governor
every lour years.
The election of county officers
every four years.
Biennial sessions of the general
assembly, limited to sixty days.
Change of venue in assault cases.
Giving justices of the peace
jurisdiction in personal property
cases, where the amount is under
SIOO.
To send the general appropria
tion bill to the governor ten days
before the adjournment of the gen
eral assembly.
Empowering the governor to
scale down any appropriation.
To let negroes share in school
fund only in proportion to the
taxes they pay.
These amendments will be em
bodied in one bill and will be in
troduced in the senate next Mon
day by Chairman Bell of the joint
committee.
The committee made no recom
mendation in reference to Senator
Chappell’s bill to limit the taxing
power to five mills. This bill pass
ed the senate last year, came over
to the hous*. was favorable repor
ted by the house committee on con
stitutional amendments and read
the second time in the house.
It did not reach a third reading,
a id came over to the present sess
ion. It is now on the calendar
ready for pr.s-iage when reached.
It will be opposed in the house,
and its passagehow seems doubtful,
as it will require 117 votes.
It is argued against the measure
that it is a plant to prevent any fu
ture increase in the school and pen
sion appropriations.
Hon. A. O Blalock, of Fayette,
made an ineffectual attempt this
afternoon to get the joint commit
tee to pass off the measure.

McClure’s for December-
No one will ask for better holi
day reading than that which the
Christmas number of McClure’s
Magazine will furnish. First and
foremost, of course, is to be men
tioned John LaFaige’s article on
‘‘Michael Angelo.” the first of a
series in which during the follow
ing year this great artist and critic
of our own day will discuss in the
pages of McClure’s the greatest ar
tist of the past.
But at this cheerful time of the
year fiction is especially seasonable,
and it needs but a glance at the
title page of the number to show
that it provides this not only in a
right Christinas like abundance,
but also in range of stvle and va
riety of subject to satisfy every
taste and stimulate every interest.
There are, in fact, 116 less than
seven separate short stories, most
of them bv writers already well
known to readers of McClure’s,and
all of them certain to stick in the
memory and provoke a desire for
more from tne same source.
A Victory to lie Proud Of
Is the final and at solute cure of
a sore throat, in which the rawness
aid tenderness have been spread
i -g dangerously near those guar
uians of life, the lungs. The lux
ury of a sound throat and robust
lungs is most keenly enjoyed by
people who, having suffered all the
consequences of “a little cold, you
know.” have been rescued from
misery and danger by Allen’s Lung
Balsam.

December Ladies Home Journal-
The Christmas Ladies’ Home
Journal is the largest number of
that popular magazine ever issued,
and the quality seems in keeping
with the quantity. It opens with
an account of “The People Who
Help Santa Claus,” after which
comes a sweet story by Elizabeth
McCracken, entitled “The Baby
Behind the Curtain.” John Fox,
Jr., the clever Kentuckian, con
tributes a short story, and The
Journal’s new serial Q f the western
metropolis, “The Russells in Chic
ago,” is begun. Rudyard Kipling
tells amusingly “How the First
Letter was Written,” and Elliott
Flower has a laughable sketch,
"The Linfields’ Christmas Dinner.”
The Journal’s two romances,
“Christine” and “A Gentleman qf
the Bine Grass,” are given their
second and third installments re
spectively, and the library of the
“Bradley House” is shown. Mr.
Bok’s editorial takes the form of a
personal and somewhat confidential
chat with his readers. There are
also a children’s Christmas play by
Edna Proctor Clark,some touching
stories of “The Other Side of the
Town,” the Rev. David M. Steele,
and an interesting account of the
Sistine Madonna done in needle
work. The various departments
are unusually strong, and the
whole magazine is full of the
Christmas spirit. A noteworthy
feature, pictoriallv, is the double
page of college girls, on which are
shown groups of college girls, from
nearly every girl’s school of note
in the country. This is only the
first in a “picture story” of one
hundred photographs, which will
show “What a Girl Does at Col
lege.” The cover design is a
beautiful piece of work by Thomas
Mitchell Peirce. By The Curtis
Publishing Company, Philadelphia.
