JORDAN A bro. Remember Your Xmas Presents. Washington Letter. From Our Regular Correspondent. Washington, Nov. 29, 1902. The President has concluded his message and has sent it to the printer. Most of the members of Congress have arrived in Washing ton and everything is in readiness for the short session which will convene on Monday. From the remards made at the White House and among the Cab inet officers it appears that the vested interets of the country have succeeded in securing the Presi dent out of making any important recomendatiouins in his annual message and in preventing him from expressing in his usual forci ble style his cofivictions that the tariff needs revising and the trusts need drastic measures to effect their control. “A conservative communication” is the description heard on all sides, which means that it will be a milk and water communication as might be autici yatedfrom a man whose chief aim is the presidential nomination two years hence. There will be no attempt to amend the present tariff law at the short session. Even the tariff on anthracite coal, which the Secre tary of the Navy has pronounced “infamous,” will be allowed to stand, the plea being that the time is too short to permit of intelligent action. The time will not be too short, for the consideration and passage of the ship subsidy bill, according to leading republicans. The lobby which will come to Washington to secure the passage of that measure will far out-weigh, in the eye of republican members, the interests of the people at large. Notwithstanding the short time at the disposal of the Fifty-seventh Congress an earnest effort will be made to pass the Fowler currency Xma Will soon be here and the Little Ones, Big Ones, Young Ones, Old Ones Always Like to be remembered. bill, a measure so iniquitous that the republicans dared not consider it when an election was pending. The Anti-Anarchy bill will also be taken up it is predicted. Ap propriations on the usual extrava gant seal of republican majorities will be made and, with a depleted treasury, the members of the Fif ty-seventh Congress will seek their homes with the knowledge of hav ing performed the duties for which they were elected.

They all believe that the republi can party is about to demonstrate to the people its inability to legis late for the interest of any but a comparativly few capitalists and they are confident that the good sense of the American people will cause them to revolt and will result in a democratic land-slide in 1904. There is no little anxiety among the republicans themselves and particularly on the part of the President. They appreciate that they stand between the peo ple and the trusts and pro tected manufacturers but they dare not abandon the latter and trust themselves to the mercies of the former Representative Richardson, of Alabama, who succeeded to the district represented by General Joe Wheeler, says, “It appears to me that the democrats have a great opportunity now, ,if they only behave themselves and dont get foolish. 1 believe they will make the most of the position. True, we have no great, leader but I be lieve we will eventually select a good mau. Great opportunities always bring out men of the proper calibre. We must be careful, however, not to frighten the busi ness interests”. Anew department of the gover ment, the Department of Com merce, with Secretary Cartelyou as its chief, is the end to which Representative it< phuru of lowa is now working and in his efforts he has the earnest cooperation of the President. Mr. Hepburn is drawing the bill which will provi de for the new department and will introduce it as soon as Con gress convenes. He believes it will be favorably reported before the Christmas holidays and hopes to see it become a law, even during the early winter.

Senator Cullom announces this as though it was a new and original discovery not withstanding the fact that the tame assertion has been reiterated by every democratic Senator and Representative and by the demo cratic press throughout the country, who have repeatedly asserted that it was not new legislation, but a firm and fearless Attorney General that was needed to effect the control of the trusts, in so far as law can con trol them. The most alarming reports are being received from the Philipines regarding the financial situation in the islands where the compro mise currency legislation of the last session is producing the most disastrous effects. Unwilling to permit a silver standard to exist in the islands, and afraid to at tempt the change to a gold stand ard, Senator Long and his collea gues. contrary to the protests of the democrats, enacted legislation providing for currency which should be neither one nor the other and now the islands are suf fering from erratic legislation. It will be imperative that the Philip pine Committee of the Senate at tempt to remedy the existing con ditions and their efiorts promised to provoke as lively a debate as attended the passage of the Philip pines bill during the last sessson. A HAPPY COMBINATION. During the World’s Fair I bought a bottle of Cheney’s Expectorant at the suggestion of a druggist for a severe coal contracted while on a lake steam er. Nothing has ever acted more pleasantly or effectually and I am never without a bottle. P. L. Morgan. Chicago. 111. Salmi of Ducklings. Cleanse well two ducklings, sprin kle with salt and pepper and put in a roasting pan, pouring two table spoonfuls .of melted butter over them. BasM often, using more melted butter as required until the ducklings are cooked. Take from the oven, cut off the legs, wings and breasts in good pieces. Scrape the rest of the meat from the carcasses, chop with a teaspoonful of chopped onion already fried a bit in butter and heat all in a little melted but ter, a cupful of stock and a gill of madeira. Add salt and pepper to taste, thicken with a little browned flour and pour over the roasted duckling pieces. Set in the oven to heat a bit and serve.—Epicure. Game With Ham. One of the new ideas in serving game and poultry as introduced by Philadelphia chefs will appeal to the many who think that a touch of the flavor of ham improves meats. I mean the new way in which portions of chicken, squabs, reed birds and various kinds of game are dished upon a broad slice of honev cured ham. The ham is cold boiled and sliced thin. Under it is a slice of delicately browned toast covered with a tender lettuce leaf. It makes a pretty dish and an appetizing one. —Good Housekeep ing- Fried Cheese Sandwiches. Fried cheese sandwiches may be made by cutting stale bread, into thin slices and spreading l/ghtly with French mustard. Cover with a thick layer of grated cheese. Sprin kle with salt and paprika. Press the slices of bread together and trim off the crusts. Heat a tablespoon ful of butter and*lard together in a spider. Fry the sandwiches on both sides till light brown. Serve very hot. If you have a morsel of cold ham on hand, chop it fine and sprin kle over the cheese with a few bits of shredded COLDS ARE NOT CONFINED TO WINTER.

A. R. Wilson. St. Louis, Mo. Improvement In Cattle. A quarter of beef was exhibited at the market of Mr. C. E. Stocks Saturday, which attracted much favorable comment. It was cov ered with great rolls of fat and is evidence of the great improvement which has been made in beef cat tle during the past few years. It ought to be only a few years when Georgia beef should entirely dis place western beef for Southern markets. Rev. George W. Stocks, who has had valuable experience in this business, says that the people are giving far more atten tion to raising cattle for market than heretofore and that it is be coming very profitable. There is nearly always a good market for cattle that are given good atten tion. A farmer can raise cattle in connection with his other work and his efforts will bring him good money. The south ought to be the richest section of the United States and cattle raising will help to make it such. Asthma “ One of my daughters had a terrible case of asthma.
