OUR WEEKLY LETTER FROM WASHINGTON (L'YoinOu: Etog-iUtr OorrejqtoiHlent ) Washington, Deo. 19, 1901. As was to be expected the house of representatives passed the Philip pine tariff’bill as reported by the Way*i and Means Committee, res pite Ihe protestations of the demo crats who pointed out that it was a meretricious measure from every pumt of view, and of a small num ber of|e|)Ubileans who were un willing u bhueny submit to the faith ot the pari v ie.>dej;.s. Tne fact, however, unit IGpresenUtive McCall, republican ineniucr ol tire Ways and Means Committee, and a small number ot foliowcfa had the courage to oppose the imperial istic measure, is taken by the democrats to be a good sign and it is hoped that btiore this session of congress has come to a close Mr. McCall may have succeeded in or ganizing a considerable faction that will stand by the democrats in their opposition to the extreme and unwarranted subversion ot American principles wnich will be tuc object of tne republican leaders. Almost simultaneously with the expression ot these principles in cougrees that body lias leceivcd an appeal to confer* on the Taft Commission gie. .tly increased power. Not satisfied with their already autocratic prerogatives, the gentlemen of this commission have made recommendations which even the republicans stand aghast. The commission desires that it be authorized to issue bonds with which to purchase the lands owned by the religious communi ties in the islands, to expend the sum of $4,000,000 on the water and drainage systems of Manila, that it be empowered to grant charters to railroads, award land grants to the same and ven guar antee the interest on the invest ments, It desires to be allowed to make such qualifications for suf frage as would exclude the laige majority of the inhabitants and nu merous other powers more approp riate to a despotic monarch than to the representatives of a republican •government. What will be done with these recommendations re mains to be seen, but it seems in credible that they will be granted, It would seem more probable that congress will ask for more speci fic recommendations and reserve to itself the power to enact the im portant legislation necessary. The senate has ratified the Ilav- Pauncetote treaty by a vote of 72 06. With the treaty out of the way the bills providing for the construction of a canal will be the next consideration. In the senate, the bill proposed by Senator Mor gan has been favorably reported by the committee on interoceanic can als, of which he is the chairman. In the house the Hepburn bill will prooably be taken up soon after congress reassembles and there is every reason to believe that it will be passed. THOUSANDS SENT INTO EXILE.

A Costly Rooster- Plunkett’s Weeklv. It will be remembered by all peo ple living in the neighborhood of Doraville, Chamblee, in fact, any where from Decatur to the Gwin nett line, that some time ago there was'a strange man who lived a Gypsy life in this region aud came to be known as the man with the •‘black steer.” “Have you seen the black steer?” Or, “where is the black steer?” Or, “the black steer went by today” was the way this man was spoken of ana it seemed to satisfy everybody. After so long a time the “black steer” turned up in At lanta one day and the detectives arrested the man as a great coun terfeiter —this part of the story will The Finest Cake Is made with Royal Bak ing Powder. Always light, sweet, pure & wholesome. OLD SERIES- 21 ST YEAR be ie me inhered as reported in the papers at the time. “Along with the "black steer” was a woman who told fortunes and took as pay such things as chickens, eggs, butter, etc , where there was an absence of money. , The truth is. the "black steer” outfit was getting rid of counter feit silver. Anyhow, in their trading in De kalb. they got a-hold of a small chicken—a rooster. When the “black s‘eer” aud the little cov ered wagon, arrived in Atlanta, the man of the turnout seemed bent on getting a quart of the “ar dent.” and nothing seemed to do but what he must have Pickens ! County corn. “Can you tell me where I can find some Pickens County corn?” was the man’s oft repeated ques tion. At last he struck a man that knew where Pickens County corn was kept, and the “black isteer” and covei ed wagon was soon stetnd j iug in fiont of Steve Moore’s bar and in a trade Mr. Moore secured j the Dekalb county chicken. Moore 1 only paid fifteen ceuts in trade for j the chicken aud turned- him out ! among Uis other chickens vrrthont a thought of the matter. The cuicken grew, and before any one had thought about it, a fine rooster was developed from the little 15 cent chicken. Mr. Moore is as good a judge of chick-, ens as he is a of Pickens County corn, and so he preserved the young rooster, named him DeKMb and last a ek was offered eightv round dollars for him. Eighty dollars is a costly price for a rooster, but it shows what our county can produce on any 1 line. Mr. Moore now keeps on | Decatur street and he takes pleas | ure in showing DeKalb as the fin ! est rooster ever put in a pit.

TANARUS, Simmons,of Waxahatchie, Texas, says his rheumatism was so bad that he was confined to his bed for months. Physicians advised Hot Springs, Ark., and Mineral Wells, Texas, at which places be .spent seven weeks in vain, wita knees so badly swollen that his tortures were beyond endurance. ,P. P.
