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.

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 * govern merit cLnpJuycr*, oigani4c^ 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. ltrd Hot From tIiGW. Was the ball that hit Ck B Steadman of Newark, Mich., in the Civil wa .

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.

ASKED FOB MORE MONEY. 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.
