OUR WEEKLY LETTER
FROM WASHINGTON.
(From Our Regular Correspondent.)
Washington, Jan. 11. 1901.
Mr. McKinley has the grip, and
if he is half as oadlv frightened as
the leaders of his party are he is
not to be envied. It isn’t Mr. Mc-
Kinley’s present conditions that
has frightened the republicans,
but the possibilities it calls to their
minds. When Teddy was given
the second place on the ticket it
was not with any idea that he
would ever be president. This is
why even Mr. McKinley’s slight
illness alarms them. They know
the grip is treacherous.
Some of the senators worked
themselves up into quite an angry
mood during the debate on the
canteen amendment of the army
bill which has been before the sen
ate all the week, an 4 unparliamen
tary language has several times
been used. It is a temptest in a
teapot, which has been encouraged
because the men responsible for
the bill would rather have the can
teen than the big standing army
talke l about. The senate voted
against the canteen.
The $60,000,000 river and har
bor bill was taken up by the house
and after a comparatively short
debate passed without serious op
position. The “pork’’ was well
distributed.
Representative Otey, of Virgin
ia, amused the house and at the
same time told some plaiu truths
concerning the objects aimed at by
the Olmsted and Shattuc/. resolu
tions for investigations of the sup
pression of suffrage in the south.
He said: “The logical end of all
such agitations is negro domina
tions in the siuth. It means the
reinstallation of carpet bagger
agents of the demon of darkness
and corruption. It means the
coming of a buzzard gluttoned
with carrion. If means the descen
dants of those who thirty-Jve years
ago fastened their talons in the
prostrate body of the south, like
those pitiless fiirds who fed upon
the vitals ot Prometheus when his
helpless form was chained to a
rock. Yes, it means the return of
those buzzards, gluPoned with car
rion that are today following the
calling of their diabojical daddies
in Cuba, the Philippine islands,
and in Porto Rico, who exude such
an odor that a mosquito shuns
them. Yes, they are so mean that
the vellow fever genus die in their
presence. They are so loathsome
that the smallpox microbes fly
from them, and if a snake bite one
of them it kills th£ snake. As for
the Snattnck resolution, it seems
that nor the Olmsted result ion
will pass. They will not pass un-
til the fishworra swallows the
Whale, not until the snail overturns
the hare, not until the Dutchman
stops drinking beer, and not until
the billy goat butts from the rear.”
Representative Champ Clark
thus paid his respects to the I arn
better-than-thou element: “Yes,
the mugwumps or jugwutnps, as
Sam Jones calls them, these fine
haired people who are too good to
discharge their political duties.
They stay at home in idelness and
the hoodlum discharge not only
his and ’tv, b :t that of the fine haired

THE SWIFT SPECIFIC CO., ATLANTA, SA.
week filed by Senator Pettus. Sen
ator Morgan is one of the ablest
men of a body that has many able
members, and one of the reasous
for his prominence was well stated
by the late Seuator Davis w hen he
said of Senator Morgan in a debate:
“His memory and capacity to as
similate and store away all sub
jects are marvelous to contemplate.”
Solicitor General Richards made
an open slur at ex-President Har
rison, in his argument before the
supreme court this week on the
cases involving the constitutional
ity of Mr, McKinley’s colonial pol
icy, that disgusted many persons.
Mr. Harrison is a private citizen
who has held the highest position
within the gift of the American
people, and is entitled to respect,
and it was not respectful for Mr.
Richards to refer to Mr. Harrison’s
recently expressed opinion in op
position to the McKinley policy in
such language as “a distinguished
lawyer and statesman affects to be
lieve,” etc. It was h gratuitous
insult to Mr. Harrison, which
shows how resentful the McKin
leyites are toward members of their
own party who dare to oppose their
imperial policy. It is not proba
able that Mr. Richards acted with
out the approval of his superiors
in office. Attorney General Griggs
and Mr. McKinley.
By the way, speaking of the su
preme court, the nomination of
“Dick” Harlan, who has been men
tioned as entertaining doubts of
the constitutionality of the McKin
ley cclonial policy, if not actually
believing it to be unconstitutional,
to an important judicial position
in Porto Rico, which is now before
the senate, has caused much talk,
especially in view of the fact that
Mr. McKinley refused to give Dick
Harlan a judicial position in the
District of Columbia, for which he
was an applicant. Mr. McKinley
may not have made this appoint
ment to make sure of the vote of
Justice Harlan on the pending
cases, but the fact that it has been
made at this time has naturally
bred gossip along that line. This
isn’t a pleasant sort of suspicion to
entertain.
The house by a majority of 63
knocked out the committee reap
portiomnent bill :.nd passed the
Burleigh bill, which adds 29 mem
bers to the house making the total
membership after March 3, 1903,
386, the additional members being
apportioned to 18 states, on a ratio
of 194,182 of population for each
representative.
KILLED HER HUSBAND-
Husband of but Few Weeks Mar.
rled Her Under Duress.
Kansas City, Mo., Jan. 10. —P.
H. Kennedy, agent for the Mer
chants’ Despatch Ti ansportation
company, was shot and killed by
his wife in his office in the Ridge
building this afternoon. Mrs.
Kennedy appeared at the entrance
of the office about 5:30 o'clock and
requested her husband to step into
the hall. He had barely passed
through the door when she opened
fire on him with a revolver, shoot
ing him four times and killing him
instantly. She then kicked the
lifeless body and exclaimed:
“Now' you w’ill ne.er seduce an
other woman.”
Mrs. Kennedy, who was formerly
Lulu K. Prince, married Kennedy
Dec. 4, 1900, and the groom’s ac- j
tion during the ceremony indicated |
that he was not a willing party to i
the contract. The father and
brother of the bride accompanied
the couple during the marriage
ceremony Last Tuesday Kennedy
brought suit to annul his marriage
with Miss Prince. He alleged in
his petition that he was forced into
the marriage by threats to take his
life if he refused and that the
: threats were made not only bv the
fa her and brother of the young
| woman, but by her also. The pe
tition said that he had never lived
with her as his wife.
The girl’s family claims that she
and Kennedy were engaged to be
married when he met another
young woman, fell in love with her
and broke the engagement with
Misi Prince. The family claims
that the cards were out announcing
Kennedy’s marriage with the other
young woman when the father and
brother of Miss Prince took a hand
in the affair.
Kennedy was about 30 years old.
His wife, who is only 20, is a sis
ter of Burt Prince, the professional
whistler.

FROM THE COAST TO PEKIN.
Kind bf Country Our TrooDS March
ed Thruuarh to Besie&red City.
From the coast to Pekin is one
endless plain, unruffled y a single
mound or gentle elevation. Dull
colored clay embankments, mark
ing tlie course of roads, canals or
irrigation ditches, ridge the flats in
all directions, like welts laid with
an enormous knout on a tortured
country by some supernatural
avenger, writes Thomas F. Millard
in Scribner’s. Uncultivated wastes
of mud stretch everywhere, tainted
by putrid ponds and filling the
spaces between the vast fields of
millet which cover the greater part
of the land in North China. Thou
sands of big and little mounds dot
the country, giving it the appear
ance where not concealed by vege
tation of some vast prairie-dog vil
lage. Human graves are these,
strange bumps of oriental super-
stition, to hold the land they oc
cupy sacred against all the needs
of posterity w'hile the Chinese gov
ern China.
Yonder, new in touch with the
crawling column, now reaching
away as if to relieve the troops of
its nauseous contact, only to come
creeping, snake-like, back again,
after having made a wide detour,
is the sluggish Pei-ho. In any
countrj but China this tortuous,
turgid stream, dragging its yellow,
slimy fluid slothfully between
crumbling mud banks and shores
reeking with refuse, would scarce
ly be entitled to rank as a ditch.
A ditch it is—or rather a sewer;
the sewer, as well as the commer
cial artery, of Chihli province. It
floats endless double lines of junks
with their prows pointing to the
north or to the south, in unbroken
procession. It is the mother of
thousands of smaller ditches, all
equally yellow and contaminated,
which spread out over the country
like the web of an imme-ise water
spider, licking up the filth of count
less villages and feeding or drain
ing, as the case may be, their cous
ins, the cess-pools. It now’ har
bors, but to indecently display,
cast upon its banks or floating
with its current, hundreds of bloat
ed objects that were once men and
women who lived upon the earth
and had souls. On it, now, cool
ies, commandeered to serve the
hated foreigners, laboriously push
along, by means of poles, heavily
laden boat". It breeds mosquitoes
by the million, disease in many
forms and death multiplied for
friend and foe alike.
The Future of Cotton-
Nashville American.
There is a good prospect that
cottonseed oil may take the place
of linseed oil in the mixing of
paints, and if the experiments now
being tried turn out as well as ex
pected, and the prospect becomes a
certainty.there is a great future
for cotton. If the cottonseed oil
will take the place of linseed oil,
then the seed will be the important
part of the cotton crop, instead of
the lint at present. Even without
this thing coming to pass there is a
good future at even considerably
less than the present market price,
if our farmers will but go at the
work of raising it propetly. We
regret to see preparations in many
sections for an extended area for
cotton —the old story of branching
I out and using more land for a crop
than can be properly worked. Cot-
ton is high because of two compar
atively small crops coming in suc
cession, but it by no means follows
that the price will keep up. This
is common sense reasoning; hence,
the thing to do is to get the soil in
shape to raise larger crops per acre,
rather than to extend the area.’
If from a half bale to a bale of cot
ton can be made on an acre it is
profitable, but if the farn.er takes
three or four acres to produce a
bale he is surely losing money in
stead of gaining it, no matter how
large the area he has in. Our
friends in the north have pretty
well learned the value of intensive
farming, and we must learn it in
the south, not only cotton growers,
but all farmers, before we can hope
to make farming pay a profit com
mensurate with the money invest
ed and the labor involved. If you,
reader, have made money during
the past two years on ten or twenty
acres in cotton, stick to that area
and get the soil in condition to in
crease the yield. If any change is
made, let it be a decrease of area
with the use of the same quantity
of fertilizer that was used on the
larger area. Then will you see
how cotton growing may be made
fairly profitable, even with the
crop selling at 5 or 6 cents.
