OUR W£EKIY LETTER
FROM WASHINGTON.
(From Our Regular Correspondent.)
Washington, Feb. 8, 1901.
The latest scheme of the repub
lican leaders is to take advantage
of the populaiity of the Nicaragua
canal project to push the ship sub
sidy bill through the senate —they
have only to issue orders to have
anything put through the house at
short notice. The scheme provides
for combining the two by accept
ing the amendment to the subsidy
bill, offered by Senator Clay, of
Georgia, providing for the con
struction bv this government of
the Nicaragua canal, and then to
inform the democratic senators that
unless they vote for the two in one
the Nicaragua canal project will
not be legislated upon at all. Sen
ator Hanna is credited with being
the father of this scheme, and it is
further said that he claims to have
promises from a number of sou
thern senators that they will vote
for the bill so amended. Mean
while the night sessions are on in
the senate and the democrats and
populists, aided by the advice of
Hon. Arthur P. Gorman, whose
success in heading off the force
bill some years ago has not been
forgotten, are giving the repub
licans about all the fight they can
handle. A few days will show
whether this scheme is really to be
carried out or is only put out to
make t lk. The senate passed the
bill reducing war taxes this week.
Senator Teller made a short but
vigorous speech just before the
senate adopted a resolution calling
on the secretary of war for a state
ment of the facts in the case of G.
T. Rice, the American editor who
was banished from the Philippines
for commenting upon the rules and j
regulations concerning pilo sand '
pilotage, as enforced at M inila. J
Mr. TePer read the editorial and j
then said: 1 The deportat on of an j
editor is not a simple matter, to be
whistled down the wind. I regard
it as a grievous offense against the
liberty of an American citizen that
he can be taken, thrown into jail,
and then deported under the pre- i
tense of the charge that he is ‘a 1
tlaugerous incendiary and a men-1
ace to the military situation.’
There is no such offense known to !
the laws of our country or in the !
£timiunl statutes of any state. It■
Is not known In any republic, in |
lany free country in the wofld. He |
is but one man, to be sure, but he 1
is a citizen of the United States. |
The offense against him is an of
fense against every citizen of the
United States. Ido not make any
apologies for pleading his cause
here. I would feel justified if this
was the last hour of the session
and an extra session should ensue
through failure of an appropria
tion bill, in standing here and
calling the atten ion of the coun
try to this outrage upon a citizen
of the United States.”
The bill appropriating $5,000,-
000 for the St. Louis exposition
has been favorably reported to the
house, and Speaker Henderson has
promised that it shall be voted
upon, which is equivalent to a
promise of its passage.
Representative Griggs, of Geor
gia, made the postoffice appropria
tion bill the text for a speech full
of common smse against the ten
SORES AND
&L&ERS.
Sores and Ulcers never become chronic
tinless the blood is in poor condition —is
sluggish, weak and unable to throw ofl
the poisons that accumulate in it. The
system must be relieved of the unhealthy
matter through the sore, and great dangei
to life would follow should it heal l>eior
the blood has been made pure and healthy
and all impurities eliminated from the sys
tem. S.S.S. ’ egins the cure by first cleans
ing and invigorating the blood, building
up the general health and removing from

effete matter' UPON THE SYSTEM.
When this has been accomplished the dis
charge gradually ceases, and the sore of
ulcer heals. It is the tendency of these old
indolent sores to grow worse and worse,
and eventually to destroy the bones, Local
applications, while soothing and to some
extent alleviate pain, cannot reach the seal
of the trouble. S. S. 6. does, and no matte!
how apparently hopeless your condition,
even though youx constitution has broken
down, it will bring-relief when nothing
else can. It supplies the rich, pure blood
necessary to heal the sore and nourish
the debilitated, diseased body.

dency on the part of congress to
increase the salaries of federal em
ployes. For instance,the following,
the truth of which every one must
acknowledge: ‘‘l undertake to say
that there is not an employe of the
government,who dovotes his whole
time to its service, who does not
receive greater pay than he would
for like service in private life.
There is not an employe in the
government service today who did
no’ better his or her condition fin
ancially when he entered it. There
is not one who, if he could better
his co ditionin other service,would
not resign tomorrow. Then, why
is this paternal interest in govern
ment employes? All of them are
free men and women, and of full
age. Why should we make ‘hem
wards of the nation ? How is this
fatherly interest of legislators, so
lately aroused, in what skeins to
me a cancerous growth eating its
way to the very vital of the A liter-,
ican body politic, to be accounted
for?” Mr. Griggs answered the
last question by citing the growth
of associations of various classes of 1
?.• 1 *

ostensibly for other purposes but
actually used to lobby for a con
gressional increase of the salaries
of their members.
Among those nominated to be
brigadier generals in the regular
army weie two captains —J. Frank
lin Bell, now serving in the Philip
pines as a brigadier general of vol
unteers, whose promotion jumped
him over 1,032 officers and Leon
ard Wood, now serving as a major
general of volunteers and military
governor of Cuba, whose promo
tion jumped him over 507 officers.
Fred Grant, another one of them,
owes his appointment to his name
rather than to any distinguished
service he has rendered as a vol
unteer officer. He had been a fail
ure in every civil occupation he
had tried and it was felt by some
of his father’s old friends thac he
ought to be provided with a life
time job, where the salary was cer
tain.
Geti. E. S. Otis, who is in Wash
ington, is said to be much dis
gruntled because lie had been led
to believe that he, and not Gen.
Nelson A. Miles, would be nomi
nated for lieutenant general of the
army. It is said that one of the
reasons why Mi. McKinley
took the unusual course of asking
the cabinet to decide by ballot
which of the major generals should
b; nominated for lieutenant gen
eral was his desire to allow Otis to
think that his nomination had
been prevented by a majority of
the cabinet. It is said that Otis
has been .promised that Miles will
be compulsorily retired by Mr.
McKinley when he reaches the age
of 62, which will be next August,
and that the place will then be
given to him.
The Boy and His Chances.
Selected,
Many a boy dreams of the great
things he would do if only he “had
a chance.” A dozen homely du
ties are crowding about him. but
he wants a chance to show that he
is of different stuff from ordinary
boys; and so he dreams and chafes
at his commonplace surroundings 1
until his opportunities are gone i
and he takes up the wail of, "If
only I had had a chance !”
The boys who succeed in life are
the boys who make their own
chances, or who see in every little
thing about them a chance for
faithful, conscientious work. Are
you poor ? Poverty is a stern
i teacher, but her lessons have been
prized bv many great men who
have passed through her school.
Have you no influential friends to
help you along ? Turner, the pain
ter was a barber’s son. Prideaux,
the scholar and theologian, scour
ed pots and pans while working
liis way through college. Sir Isaac
New.on, the greatest astronomer
of his time, once peddled cabbage
on the streets. Martin Luther,
when a boy at school, sang in the
streets for the pence which passers
by might give him. The'ate Judge
Bradley, of the United States su
preme court, was the son of a char
coal burner.
There is more in the boy than
the chance. A thousand chances
may pass unheeded by a careless,
unobservant lad, where the boy
with the right sort of stuff in him
would seize the first one. Patience,
faithfulness, and downright hon
esty count for more than chances.

Contest Over the Dead Railroad
Magnate's Will.
New York, Feb. 7.—The hear
ing of the suit brought by Mrs.
Margaret J. Plant to upset the will
of her late husband; Henry B.
Plant, was continued today before
Justice Leventritt in the supreme
court.
Morton Freeman Plant, the son
'of the testator, concluded his tes
timony by saying that he was pres
ent when the original will was
| drawn in 1863, and that it was left
| in the keeping of his step mother.
He said she was aware of the con
-1 ditions of the codicil after hearing
the will read at a meeting of the
trustees in New Haven.
Robert G. Erwin, president of
the Plant System, and Mr. Plant’s
confidential adviser for many years,
testified to the execution of the
will of 1893, and also to the execu
tion of the codicil. He said that
Judge Lynde Harrison, who was
Mr. Plant’s lawyer in Connecticut
had examined the coulcii aiiu said
it came within the jurisdiction of
the Connecticut law.
Should Mrs. Plant succeed in up
setting the will, she will receive
her dower right of one-third of her
husband’s personal estate, which is
now estimated at over $20,000,000.
Mrs. Plant claims that her hus
band was not a citizen of Connecti
cut, but of New York, and that the
will should have been probated in
this state and not in Connecticut.

Another Attempt to Bunco Family
of Kidnapped Man.
Montgomery, Ala., Feb. 7. —Hix
Fraser, a brother of Bass Fraser,
who is Relieved to have been kid
napped in Atlanta some time ago,
it is understood, received another
anonymous letter from the kidnap
pers in which they asked for a
much larger sum than they secured
from him recently in Atlanta.
The letter says that the SSOO re
ceived from Mr. Fraser near At
lanta has been spent on Bass for
medical attention, and that Bass is
now seriously ill. The letter re
quested Hix Fraser to bring SBOO
in a bag to the corner of Alabama
and Decatur streets, one of the
most densely populated portions of
this city, and deposit in a location
named, and that Bass would be re
turned to him. The letter gave
instructions as to where, when and
how to deposit the sack.
Fraser, it is learned, showed the
letter to the police, and it is under
stood they told him, instead of put
ting the money in the sack, to fill it
with corn. This was done and the
police and detectives preceded
Fraser to the scene Officers wait
ed several hours, but nooneapper
ed to take possession of the sack.
Young Fraser returned to his home
in Union Springs this morning.
According to Secretary of State
Cook negro labor in Georgia just!
now is very scarce. Mr. Cook re- J
ports that in South Georgia it is at- |
most an impossibility to secure la
borers on the farms, and that as a
result the farmers are having a
hard time. Last fall the same con
ditions existed' during the cotton
picking season. In addition to be
ing secretary of state, Mr. Cook is
a farmer and his overseers have re
ported that it is a very difficult
matter to employ negroes. Mr.
Cook attributes this state of affairs
to the turpentine farms, and to the
new railroads which are being
built. —Atlanta Niws.
