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.

Oil |s sold in all Localities Manufftrture<l by Standard Oil Company. 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. The Surest Prescription for Ma laria.

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. Chamberlain's Stomach ami Liver Tablets.

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.

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.
