OUR WEEKLY LETTER
FROM WASHINGTON
(From Our Regular Correspondent )
Washington, January 23, 1902.
When Representative Cannon,
of Illinois, introduced in the house
on Mouday his ‘‘urgent and ficiencv
bill” carrying an appropriation of
$16,701,000, in round numbers, and
including an appropriation of $500,-
000 for the establishment of a mili
tary post at Manila, he little real
ized the storm which the measure
would bring about his head. Al
though many of the provisions of
the bill were pronounced extrava
gant by the minority it was the
last named appropriation which
drew the fierce fire of the demo
cratic orators and, under the scath
ing arraignment of Mr. De Armotid
and his colleagues, the represen- (
tativefrom Illinois spent a most un
happy afternoon. In the heat of
the argument Mr. Cannon com
mitted himself to the statement
that the United States was in the
Phillippines to stay and it was on
that ground that the democrats at
tacked his position. While space
will not permit the chronicling of
Mr. De Armond’s brilliant sjieech,
the following is worthy quotation:
“Do we lack the power and the
right to take the hand of the .spoils
man from off the islands of the tar
awty seas? Do we lack the power
and the right to give liberty to
I ),000,000 people who are strug
gling and dying for it? Do we lack
the power and the right to take the
mailed hand from the throats of
men who are crying out for liberty
and for independent national exist
ence? Ah, no; we do not lack
either the power or the right. Who
is to interfere?” The bill is still
before the house.
In the senate, the Phill ppine
tariff bill is being discussed. On
Tuesday Senator Lodge made a
long speech defending the action of
his committee in amending the
bill passed by the house. As the
senator from Massachusetts was
expatiating upon the advisability
of continuing the ‘ open door” pol
icy and the advantages to be de
rived from trade with China, a dem
ocratic member remarked, sotto
voce, “The gentleman’s next step
towards building up our trade with
China will be the re-enactment of
the Chinese exclusion law I sup
pose.”
Senator Rawlins is preparing to
contest every step towards the
enactment of the Phillippines bill
as reported and lie will beaoly as
sisted by Senator Culberson. On
Tuesday Senator Rawlins made a
strong appeal to his colleagues to
do justice to the Phillippines. He
said that the present measure is
calculated to prevent trade relations
between the islands and this coun
try and to continue the necessity of
maintaining large forces of soldiers
there in order to preserve order.
“The policy of the administration
% is such,” he declared, “as to permit
the officers cf the American army
to replenish their fortunes at the
expense of the unfortunate Filip
inos and then return to this couti
try to live in affluence.” Senator
Vest is preparing tor a vigorous
onslaught on the ship subsidy bill
which will soon be up for discus
sion.
The ways and means committee
of the house is devoting its time to
hearings of the representatives of
the tobacco and sugar interests in
this country and in Cuba, apropos
of the proposed reciprocal relations
with that island. That the'e is
any earnest desire on the part of
the committee to ascertain the real
status of affairs in Cuba must be
doubted by anyone who has an op
portunity to hear the merciless
cross-examination of the Cuban
representatives. Their somewhat
limited command of English is a
drawback in itself and when to that
is added a disposition on the part
of the members of the committee,
unrestrained by the chairman, to
confuse and browbeat the Cuban
witnesses it can hardly be credited
that the committee desires to arrive
at the facts.
At this writing it is safe to sav
that Cuban reciprocity, if it conus
before the house, will recti e little
consideration. In fact, reciprocity
in any form, unless, possil ly a t ai
rangement could be effected where
by the United States would raceive
all and give nothing, is too ad

vanced for the republicans of the
lower chamber whose knowl
edge of economics can be summed
up in the one word “protection.”
, Nevertheless, the argument of
Senator Platt, of Connecticut, that
failure to grant the form of iecipro
city to Cuba will result in almost
immediate annexation, has had
great weight with the senators and
it is more than possible that a re
ciprocal arrangement will be made
by treaty and without consulting
the house.
I While the republicans in the
j house are opposed to reciprocity,
I there are those among them whose
| constituents are demanding the re
imovalofthe the duty on certain
j schedules aud they say they will
! have their way. Representative
Babcock declares that he will be
able to bring to light his bill low
| ering the duty on the products of
: the steel trust and that he can
1 secure sufficient votes to make it
i a law. Mr. Tawnev, of Minnesota,
1 tells me that he is only awaiting
( an appropriate opportunity to in
troduce some measure removing
1 the duty on bulbs imported from
Ilollaud. United States Consul
Mill, at Amsterdam, has made an
extensive report on this subject in
which he shows that we import
from $275,000 to $300,000 worth of
bulbs from Holland per year and
that we sell to Holland flour worth
in the neighborho >d of $4,500,000.
This trade is likely to be lost to
the millers and farmers of the Uni
ted S'.ates unless some measure is
passed which will remove the duty
on the Dutch bulbs.
A discussion, which the repub
licans say should nave taken place
in, executive session but which oc
curred on the floor of the senate in
open session, recently revealed the
progidality of the republicans in
the expenditure of the public
funds. Growing out of the effort
to pass a bill providing a messen
ger for one of the minor senate
committees, it tianspired that at
the present time the amount spent
for messengers and other employes
of the senate exceeds the aggre
gate salaries and mileage of the
senators themselves. It is a well
known fact that many of these em
ployes are entirely unnecessary
and that they are simply a result
ol the snoils system, having been
appointed without regard to their
usefulness aud because the senator
who secured their employment had
reasons of his own for wishing to
support them at the expense of the
government. The total amount
now paid to the special employes of
the senate aggregates, according to
the estimate of Senator Platt, some
$600,000, while senatorial salaries
and mileage amount to but $500,-
000.

Tribute of Respect-
As the last sunset of 1901 was
tinting the western sky, and in the
hush of evening stillness there
breathed a requiem for the dying
year, Mrs. Annie Turpin Calhoun
entered the portals of heavenly;
rest. She was no stranger to the
joys that awaited her there, for
during the years of her pilgrimage
she was cheered by looking upon
the things that are not seen, but
eternal.
To us it is not given, to under
stand this dispensation of provi-1
dence, which removes from the
home the wife, the mother, and
from our midst the friend, the I
counsellor —yet we do know that;
from her sufferings God rested her, I
and she was not for God took her. j
Asa chapter of the United
Daughters of the Confederacy,
therefore be it
Resolved, That in her death the
Bartow chapter has lost an earnest
co-worker and an ardent supporter,
a member whose memories of a sad
period in the history of our coun
try werenot obliterated but soften
ed by (he innate graces of a forgiv
ing nature.
2d, That our profound sympathy
goes out to the bereaved husband
and sorrowing children. May
their comfort be found as was that
of the Psalmist: “The Lord hath
given, the Lord hath taken away,
Blessed be the name of the Lord.”
3d, That a copy of the above be
recotded in the Minutes of the
Chapter, published in the city pa
per, and a cjpy sent to the be
reaved family.

In late years men have made
fortunes out of the tailings of gold
mines. The mills in which the
ore formerly was crushed and the
crude processes then in use allow
ed a large percentage of the pre
cious metal to escape, and that loss
amounted in some cases to a for
tune. The stomach is just like a
stamp mill in this respect, that
when it is not in perfect order it
allows the escape and waste of
the precious nutriment contained
in the food. That loss when con
tinuous means the loss of man’s
greatest fortune —health. Science
offers a remedy for this condition
in Dr Pierce’s Golden Medical
Discovery. It corrects the “weak
ness” of the stomach, prevents
waste and loss of nourishment, and
puts the stomach and organs of di
gestion and nutrition into a condi
tion of health which enables them
to save and assimilate all the nu
triment contained in the food which
is eaten. In all cases of constipa
tion the use of Dr. Pierce’s Pleas
ant Pellets will speedily and per
manently cure the disease.
NIGHT WAS HER TERROR.
“I would cough nearly all night
long,” writes Mrs. Chas. Apple
gate, of Alexandria, Ind., “and
could hardly get any sleep. I had
consumption so bad that if I
walked a block 1 wonld
frightfully and spit blood, but,
w’hen all oth~r medicines failed,
three SI.OO bottles of Dr. King’s
New Discovery wholly cured me
and I gained 58 pounds.” It’s ab
