OUR WEEKLY LETTER
FROM WASHINGTON.
(From Our Regular Correspondent.)
Washington, Feb. 22, 1901.
There is a chance that the demo
crats of the house may duplicate
their triumph in the ways and
means committee and defeat the
republican scheme to have the bill
for the reduction of war taxes, now
deadlocked in conference, fail. As
the matter now stands, the house
conferences refuse to agree to the
senate amendments and the senate
conferees refuse to recede. It is
believed that if the matter can be
got before the house again all of
the democrats and a sufficient num
ber of republicans to a ma
jority would vote to accept the sen
ate amendments and the bill could
be sent to Mr. McKinley, who
would not dare to veto it, much as
he would like to see it fail. That
would be as marked a triumph as
was ever achieved by the minority
in either branch of congress. The
democratic leaders are striving to
bring it about, not because of any
special love for the senate bill but
because they think taxes should
be reduced, aid it is well worthy
of their best efforts.
Is there a deal on between the
administration and the Panama
canal gang? Several things are
calculated to justify the suspicion
that there is, One thing, is the
presence in Washington of Senor
Silva, minister from Colombia,who
has openly stated that he is here
solely for tne purpose of offering to
transfer to the United States Col
ombia’s rights in the Panama canal,
and will as soon as his task is com
pleted, go back home and resume
the office of minister of foreign af
fairs. Another thing, is the re
publican show down that Senator
Morgan forced by insisting upon
action by the senate committee on
foreign relations on his resolution
declaring that neither the Hay-
Pauuoefote treaty nor the Clayton-
Bulwer treaty should be allowed to
stand in the way of legislation bv
congress for the construction of the
Nicaragua canal. By a strict party
vote Senator Morgan’s resolution
has been adversely reported, thus
showing the republican members
of the committee to be opposed to
the Nicaragua canal. Senator
Morgan has got his fighting blood
up, and says he intends to put the
senate on record by demanding a
vote on his resolution.
Democratic senators may make
a fight on the nomination, of Gen.
Shafter to be a major general in
the regular army, sent to the sen
ate this week by Mr. McKinley,
not only because they do not think
he has done anything to deserve
the promotion, but because of the
extraordinary method taken to give
it to him. It will be remembered
th it although Gen. Shafter is now
doing duty as a major general of
volunteers, he went on the letired
list some time ago, under the age
limitation, as a brigadier general.
To confirm his nomination will be
simply to present him the differ
ence between the salary of a retiied
brigadier general and that of a re
tired major general for the rest of
his life.
Some very vigorous protests
have been lodged with Mr. McKin-

ley by western republicans in con
gress against the proposed appoint
ment ot P. C. Knox, of Pittsburg,
the attorney for the Carnegie steel
trust, to succeed Attorney General
Griggs, although it is difficult to
->ee why they should object to one
trust lawyer succeeding another in
he cabinet.
Mr. McKinley still keeps extra
session talk on tap for his con
gressional callers. He tells them
that he intends to issue the call for
an extra session just as soon as he
gets the Cuban constitution. Some
of them are hoping that he won’t
get the Cuban constitution for
some time.
Asa sop to the kicking against
extravagant appropriations the
river and harbor bill was reduced
about $10,000,000 before it was re
ported to the senate.
Mr. McKinley’s recommenda
tion that congress vote its thanks
to Sampson is hung up in the sen
ate committee on nayal affairs and
is likely to remain th°re. All of
the naval promotions sent to the
senate except those of Sampson
and Schley will be confirmed. To
cover their cases a compromise
was reached under which a bill re
viving the grade of vice admiral
and authorizing the appointment
of two was favorably reported to
the senate, but unless some assur-
ance is given that Schley will be
! made the senior cf Sampson, as he
[ is now, there is no certainty that
the bill will be allowed to go
through. There is a very determ
, ined Reeling in the senate against
allowing Mr. McKinley to jump
Sampson over tile head of Schley
as a reward for a victory won by
Schley.
An active New York democrat —
Mr. L L. Gregor}', of Albany —
said to a group of friends in a
Washington hotel: “If I could
name the next democratic ticket it
would be Richard Oluey, of Mas
sachusetts, for president, and Sena
tor Daniel, of Virginia, for vice
president. There’s a combination
that would be hard to beat. Olney
is the strongest man with the east
that could possibly be named, and
he is also popular with the south,
with a not inconsiderable following
in the western states. In the south
Daniel is almost worshipped, and
his popularity in the west is second
only to that of Bryan.”
A congressional delegation, rep
resenting both branches and both
parties, called on Mr. McKinley
this week and requested that Rep
resentative John Allen, of Missis
sippi, who will retire from congress
at the close of this session, be ap
pointed one of the commissioners
provided for in the bill appropriat
ing $5,000,000 for the exposffion to
b held at St. Louis to commemo
rate the Louisiana Purchase. It
was an unusual compliment, and
Mr. Allen’s appointment is regard
ed as certain. A petition in his
favor signed by all the senators ex
cept three was filed with Mr. Mc-
Kinley.

Ministers Discover a Still-
Yesterday says a recent Griffin
special, Rev. J. L. Gross of the
First Baptist church of this city
aud Dr. H. Hatcher, of Atlanta,
representing the American Baptist
Publishing Company, were out
hunting they discovered a “moon
shine” still while looking for a
wounded bird that Rev. Mr. Gross
had sho*:. The retriever failed to
find the bird, vvh'ch had fallen on
the edge of a deep ravine, and the
minister proceeded to look for it,
with the result that he not only
found the game, but a still smok
ing hot. A negro, who was at
work there, fled when discovered,
and the clergyman, probably for the
first time in his life, beheld a sure
’nuff still. On go ng back to Dr.
Hatcher with his bird, Mr. Gross
informed him of his find. “I don’t
blame the dogs for not seeming
that bird,” said the doctor sniffing
the air, which was redolent with
the sour smell of “mash. ’ “It
would have been remirkable if
they had.”

Georgia Industrial Home For
Destitute Children.
Two years ago, February 22<1,
1 Rev. W. E. Mum ford, found
er, opened the doots of “Faith Cot*
tase,’' Georgia Industrial Home,
five miles north ot Macon, in this
state. The specific object of the
home is the salvation of the ne
glected, abandoned and outcast
children of destitute and disreputa
ble white parents. It is non-secta
rian and non-sectional. It is now
in possession of 200 acres of land.
Over SB,OOO having been expended
in the purchase oi the farm and im
p: o ements thereon. There are
now six nice buildings besides the
outbuildings ana barns.
The home started with three
children on its opening day and
has cared for about one hundred
since that time, eighty of whom
are now its happy and promising
inmates. These children are from
over forty counties in Georgia.
Every leading city in this state is
represented. It is the only hon e
ever lounded in Geuigia fui iue
specific class it proposes to reach,
It : s fonnatory—taking these chi -
dren from the slums of city and
country between the ages of 6 at and
15. when habits and character are
forming, and turning the course of
their lives into channels of self-re
spect and self support. It is a
home—not a prison—a preventory
—not a reformatory. It proposes
the rescue of helpless innocence
from depraved, vicious and im
moral surroundings. It is sup
ported entirely by private benevo
lence, through the efforts of its
founder. It is regularly chartered
under the laws of Georgia, and is
highly endorsed by press and pul
pit, as well as by the Fraternities,
and all the executive officers of the
state.
There is an honor able board of
directors to whom the founder and
president is responsible. The
founder and the board of directors
call upon the people of Georgia
everywhere to give March 30th as
a day of labor and thought to this
unique and wonderful undertaking.
In office, shop, field, store and
home let us who have had a chance
in life try to help these litle desti
tute white children of Georgia. A
day's work for orphans in the fall
and a day’s work for abandoned
and destitute children in the spring
would give to Georgia two of the
brightest days in the history of her
years. The board of directors of
this great home are E. J. Willing
ham, merchant; P. D. Pollock,
president Mercer University; C. M.
Wiley, ordinary of Bibb county;
W A. Davis, Past Grand Master
of Masons, all of Macon, and State
School Commissioner, Hon. G. R.
