THE BARNESVILLE NEWS-GAZETTE THURSDAY, MARCH 19. 1903
Washington Letter.
From Our Regular Correspondent.
Washington, Meh. 16, 1908.
After twenty-four years service
in the Senate, broken In,health
hut vigorous in intellect, Senator
Vest retires to private life an
optimist . “Our people are just as
honest and patriotic as in the days
of the Revolution, and as willing
to make as many sacrifices for
their country,” he said recently,
“But they are too busy to spend
much time with the heroic and
sentimental,” lie added. Referr
ing to Senator Borman's return to
the leadership of the democrats
in the Senate, Mr. Vest said, “I
think Mr. Gorman would accept
the presidential nomination if it
were tendered to him but if the
tariff question were to become the
paramount issue his views on that
subject would become a serious
obstacle to his nomination. There
are, moreover, two important reas
ons why the democratic candidate
should come from New York
state. First, the nominee should
control the electral vote of that
state; second, Mr. Roosevelt is
almost certain to lie nominated
and should be confronted with an
opponent from his own state.”
Referring to president Roosevelt,
Mr. Vest said he regarded him as
the strongest candidate in the re
publican party. Speaking of the
removal of the tariff on coal he
said it had forced the republicans
to admit that the removal of the
tariff caused a lowering of prices,
something they had disputed in
past.

The Senate is still in session
and little progress has been made
in the ratification of the treaties
now pending. Senator Margan
has convinced many democrats
that it would be unwise for the
United States to accept the Pana-
ma treaty as it now stands and
two amendments are proposed, one
providing that this country shall
exercise complete sovereignty over
over the zone of land through
which the canal is to pass, the
other striking out the provision
that the United States shall not
increase its territory at the ex
pense of Colombia or any other
South American republic. The
latter clause is claimed to be ex
traneous and in aprpos to the
convention. The republicans
cannot ratify either treaty without
some democratic votes. The Sen-
ate now stands 57 to dll and Sena
tor Bard will not vote for the
Cuban treaty, therefore it would
require four democratic votes to
ratify that convention and three
to approve the Colombian agree
ment. The democrats also believe j
that on constitutional grounds the
Cuban agreement should contain j
provision that its terms are not to j
go into operation until enabling
legislation has been passed
by both houses of Congress. If
these amendments are agreed to
both treaties will be ratified at
an early date.
One of the most interesting of
the two new members of the Sen
| ate is Mr. James B. McCreary, for
| twelve years a representative of
Kentucky in the House, and once
governor of his state. Speaking

O
recently of the political situation,
Senator McCreary said, “The
democrats must observe three
points in the selection of their
next presidential candidate.
First, he must be a man thorough
ly fitted for the oflice; second, he
must be a leader around whom
all the members of his party will
rally; third, he must be a man
capable of of being elected, that
is of commanding the respect of
the great independent vote which
decides presidential elections.”.
Asked to name some men whom
lie regarded as fulfilling these
conditions, Senator McCreary
said, “Among the names mention
ed 1 regard as the strongest those
of Arthur Pue Gorman and Judge
Alton B. Barker, of New York.
As to the issue’s they should he of
a practical character such as tariff
reform, the trusts and the econo
mical administration of the gov-
ernment.”
There has seldom been a time,
when there was manifest a more
lively interest in the United States
navy than at the present time.
The appropriations of the recent
Congress for the purpose of in
creasing the efficiency of the
navy have been a source of grati
fication to most citizeng of the
nation and the navy Department
is now using every endeavor to se-
cure the’ prompt expenditure of
the appropriation along the lines
for which it was made. It may not
!>e generally known that this
country stands but third in the
list of naval powers. Great Brit
ain, which heads the list, has (521
naval vessels with an aggregate
tonnage of 1,807,874. France
comes next with 458 vessels and
a tonnage of 804,274 and the
United States third with 185 ves
sels and a tonnage of 578,758.
Germany, with 225 vessels had a
tonnage of only 488,428 and comes
fifth on the list, Russia exceeding
her in both vessels and tonuge. In
this connection it is interesting to
note that at one of the recent
“War games” which are from
time to time worked out under
the direction of the British Admir
alty, with full data and along the
most scientific lines, a campaign
between Germany and the United
States was imagined to have begun
the first of last December and at
the last report the United States
had lost all her vessels hut one
small torpedo boat, while the Ger
man navy, badly disable, was on
her way home for repairs. Inci
dentally the great coast cities of
this country had been bombarded
and millions of dollars worth of
property had been destroyed.
These games are worked out some
what like a game of chess, due al
lowance being made for thickness
of armour, size of guns, availabi
lity of coal, etc. and it is reason
able to suppose that no errors of
judgment are made in the mani
pulation of the forces.
The clerks of the Senate and
the house have completed their re
capitulation of the work of Con
gress and present some interesting |
figures. The two sessions of the
fifty-83Vfcnth Congrees aggregated ;
only 222 days, 110 days less than
the average for the past sixteen
Congresses. The number of laws
enacted was 2,781 against an aver
age of 1,121 for the same period. I
Of the 2,781 bills which become|
1aw5,2,211 were private acts. A 1
total of 17,>500 bills was introduc
ed in addition to 700 resolutions.
The number of pages of the Con
gressional Record filled during
i the past Congress was 11,272 as
: against an average of 8.147 for
the previous sixteen Congress.
I The greater amount of matter
presented in the Record during a
shorter space of time is accounted
for by the extension of the “leave
I to print” privilege.
The Civil Service Commission
has just filled a pec*liar position
which might appropriately be
termed the Government’s offi
cials snake charmer, although the
official title of the suocssful com
petitor will be “aid in herpeto
logy.” The qualifications for the
place were a throagli knowledge
of snakes with an ability to handle
them without serious consequences
and six applicants f*r the position
put in an appearance.
