OUR WEEKLY LETTER
FROM WASHINGTON
(From Our Regular Correspondent.)
Washington, Nov. 28, 1901.
“Has President Roosevelt been
playing an extremely clever game
of politics?’’ That is the question
which in Washington has taken
precedence of all others and beside
which economic problems, commit
tee appointments and local appro
priation “trades” pale into insigni
ficance. No one ever suspected
such a thing until congressmen be
gan to arrive for the session and
then general discussion of local
conditions revealed such an extra
ordinary concatenation of coinci
dences(?) that it simultaneously j
dawned upon a number of people :
that the young gentleman in the;
white house had been perfecting I
an organization preparatory to tlie
1904 convention with a degree of
political skill which no one ever
suspected that he possessed.
“The discovery,” it is called,was
discussed 111 every hotel lobby in
Washington last evening. “I never
believed him capable of it,” said a
republican senator. “The charming
naivette with which he has made
appointments and turned down
candidates has mislead us all ”
said another, “In a way that was
‘childlike and bland’ be has an
nounced that he would appoint
only good men to office and all the
time he has been quietly manipu
lating his little bowie knife under
the fifth rib of the Hon. Marcus A.
Hanna,” laughingly remarked a
western representative. It was
most entertaining to hear the opin
ions that were expressed by vari
ous members of the president’s
party.
The facts on which “the discov
ery” is based are as follows: it is
held that at his recent visit to the
white house, Senator Quay was
led to pledge himself to the sup
port of the president and that is
what lias produced Gov. Stone’s
disaffection, because the governor
believed that Mr, Roosevelt would
prove so erratic a politician as to
entirely disrupt the organization of
his party and so render his nomin
ation lor a second term impossible.
As I Have already pointed out
in these letters, Mr. Roosevelt has
secured pledges from Gov. Odell of
New York and Mayor-elect Low
of Greater New York. It is true
he has lost all chance of support
from Senator Platt but it is doubt
ful if he ever possessed any.
With the aid of Senator McLau
ran, who, it is believed, will remain
a democrat until the time ap
proaches for the presidential con
vention when he will declare him
self a “Roosevelt man,” irrespect
ive of party, the president has
practically reorganized the repub
lican machines in North and South
Carolina and the former members,
who were under obligations to Sen
ator Hanna, are now out in the
■cold. The reorganization process
has just begun in Alabama but no
opportunity willbelost toperfectit.
The same is true of Texas where
Mr. Roosevelt has deposed Nation
al Committeeman Hawley.
In Missouri, Mr. Roosevelt is
deferring his decision in the Kereus-
Kitehcock controversy but it is al
leged that whichever faction comes
out squarely with a pledge of sup
port in the next presidential con
vention will be declared the winner.
In Illinois he has secured pledges
from a large number of the leading
republicans and probably of the en
tire republican machine, although
it has not been his policy to show
his hand but to move quietly and
deliberately but with certain aim
so that before he has been in the
white house he may feel relieved
from all uneasiness because of the
existence of the Hanna machine
which twice nominated Mr. McKin
ley and w„s scheduled to nominate
Mr. Marcus Hanna in 1904.
I have it on excellent authority
that the paesident, hopes to score a
masterstroke by the recommenda
tion in regard to reciprocity with
Cuba in his forthcoming message.
He will. I an told, attempt to steer
between the Scylla of the high
protectionists and the Charibdis ot
the Oxnard faction and at the saint
time gain the golden apple ot
sugar trust favor by recommend
ing a material concession in the
tariff on raw Cuban sugar.
It is worthy o’f note in this ton
ne tion that the report of secretary
of war, Root, who, by the way.
stands very close to the president,
rec mimends a “reasonable reduct
ion in our duties on sugar” import
ed from Cuba, saying that “Our
present duty to Cuba can be per
formed by the making of .such a
reciprocal tariff arrangement with
her as President McKinley urged,”
etc.
In this connection some figures
on our sugar consumption and on
republican methods of raising a
revenue may prove interesting.

rent year is estimated at 2,360.500
tons on which amount domestic
producers, using the term to include
the producers of Porto Rico and
Hawaii, furnish approximately one
million tons, leaving a balance of
1,360.500 tons on which a duty of
about $36 per ton is collected.
The democratic members of the
house of representatives will hold
their caucus on Saturday morning
at eleven o’clock. The only busi
ness that will come before the
caucus will be the selection of a
few members of committees and
the few employes whose nomina
tion is conceded to the minority.
The republican members of the
house of representatives will hold
their caucus on Saturday after
noon and it is probable that an
evening session will also be held.
There will beconsiderable business
to be disposed of, the election of
officers, over which there will be
no contest, and the selection of
employees, but no matters of policy
will be taken up and the major
portion of the work of reorganiza
tion will devolve upon Speaker
Henderson, wno will, of course, be
re-elected.
I understand that when congress
convenes on Monday, Senator
Hanna will formally notify the
senate and Representative Gros
venor the house of the death of
ex-president McKinley, that both
bodies will decide upon a day for
the delivery of eulogies and ad
journ. This will mean that the Pres
idents message will not be read
until Tuesday.
Women Who Wear Well.
It is astonishing how great a
change a few years of married life
will make in the appearance and
disposition of many women. The
freshness, the charm, the brilliance
vanish like the bloom from a
peach which is rudely handled.
The matron is only a dim shadow,
a faint echo of the charming maid
en. There are two reasons for this
change, ignorance and neglect.
Few young women appreciate the
shock to the svsten through the
change which comes with marriage.
Many neglect to deal with the un
pleasant drains which are often
consequent on marriage and moth
erhood, not understanding that this
secret drain is robbing the cheek of
its freshness and the form of its
fairness. As surely as the' general
health suffers when there is de
rangement ot the health of the del
icate womanly organs, so surely
when these organs are established
in health the face and form'at once
witness to the fact in renewed
comeliness Half a million women
and more have found health and
happiness in the use of Dr. Pierce’s
P'a\orite Prescription. It makes
weak women strong and sick wo
men well.
IT DAZZLES THE WORT.D.

A Blow in the Back.
An overcoat is a necessary nuis
ance and the tendency to take it off
on warmish days in late autumn
and winter is as strong as it is un
wise. A treacherous wind hits you
in the back and the next morning
you have lumbago. Rub well and
often with Perry Davis’ Painkiller
and you will be astonished to find
how quickly all soreness is banish
ed. There is but one Painkiller,
