WASaiXGTOK LETTER.
From Our Regular Correspondent.
Congress has adjourned, to the
delight of the republicans. It left
many things undone and did many
things which it might better have,
left undone. It adjourned much ear
lier than usual because the republi
cans could not longer permit -the
democrats to call attention, on the
floors of the capital, to the short
comings of the Gr. O. P. It leaves
behind it a most unfortunate record.
In the first place, it was called upon
to redeem the pledges of the repub
lican party to the London and Wall
street interest, in 1896, and to knock
bimetalism on the head for as long a
period as possible-. That particular
deal it carried out successfully in
passing a measure which fixed the
currency of the country upon a sin
gle bankers’credit standard for the
next five years. Next, it was its du
ty to establish governments for the
new possessions and prepare to car
ry out the pledges of the country to
Cuba. How it has done this the
country knows. As soon, as there-,
publicans got off the safe grouud of
eulogizing the flag, they cither split
into irreconcilable factions or else
yielded to the demands of the trusts
and corporations. In deference to
the wishes of the latter, they barred
out Porto Rican goods and turned
the island over to them to bp looted.
They plainly mirrored the deep dis-
BELLE BOTO DEAD.
Telegraphic dispatches of June
12 th chronicled the death of Belle
Boyd, tho Confederate spy. She
died suddenly of heart disease at
Kilbourue, Wisconsin, where she
had gone to lecture.
With the passing of Belle Boyd
there goes another of those pictur
esque figures which were a result
of the disruption of the TJnion and
the taMug'up. of . arms by brother
against brother. In the fifty-seven
years of her life there had come
more adventure, more excitement,
more romance, more danger than, a
score of lives, possibly, of other ac
tive women -of modern times.
When “Stonwall” Jackson was
campaigning in the Virginia Valley
with his “Stonewall” brigade, Belle
Boyd was one of his most useful
spies. She was a standing menace
to the integrity of the Federal army.
Her tacc and skill did possibly as
much, to aid Jackson as that of any
other spy in the service; she passed
in and out of lines with apparent
ease, and a dare-devil recklessness
and coolness carried her through
many places, where another would
have failed.
John Es tin .Cook, in his “Surrey
of the Eagle’s Nest,” makes Belle
Boyd one of his principal cha acters
and with permissible exaggeration
tells of many of those incidents up
on which her fame is founded. Her
trust of McKinley felt by the conn- j ability as a spy was paramount; her
try at large when they declined to
pass a bill formally giving him the
power over the Philippines which
he had already usurped. In regard
to Cuba, when they tried, to act
Senator Platt of Connecticut rose
up in the Senate and informed the
country that the president cons’der-
ed that he was supreme in that is
land and that congress could take
no action in regard to it short of or
dering him to abandon the island.
Consequently, the republican major
ity did nothing. r For the rest, the}
passed the. Nicaraguan canal bill
through one house and held it up iu
the other to await the adoption of
the ship subsidy steal, whose advo
cates declare that the former shall
not pass without the latter. The
expenees of the session are large
enough to warrant the belief that
this will be a billion-and-a-half con
gress, without counting a dollar ex
pended for war purposes. The total
expenditures of the session we e
$709,729,476, of which the republi
cans assert that $131,217,156 was
directly chargeable to the war. De
ducting this, $578,482,321 remains
to represent the peace expenditures.
Next year there will be other large
expenditures which were deferred
this year in order to make a good
showing in the campaign, such as a
river and barber bill, public building
bills, Nicaraguan canal bill, and ap
propriations for the huge navy that
has been authorized but not provi
ded for, to say nothing about the
ship subsidy steal, the whole making
it evident that the total for the two
sessions will be tremendous.
Secretary Root appears to have
decided to defy public opinion in
regard, to the fitting up of army
transports. A contract has been
signed for remodeling the Kirkpat
rick, which has been in service be
tween New York and Porto Rico
the past winter, by which this ves
sel, which cost only $350,000 at war
prices, is to have $408,000 spent up
on her. The ship will be delivered
to the department by next October,
and soon after proceed to Manila
with several fine transports now on
the Pacific side, to assist in the
bringing of troops home. No gov
ernment has had troop ships so elab
orately equipped as this, and while
Great Britain impressed several fine
trans-Atlantic liners to move troops
to Cape Town, the quarters provided
the enlisted men and the conven
iences allowed fell far short of the
American floating palaces, which ex
ceed most passenger steamers in
their gorgeous fittings. Secretary
Root bids fair to rival the scandals
of Secretary Robeson, who spent
millions in “repairing” the old
ships of the navy, until even a re
publican congress, shocked at the
jobs involved, pnt an end t<5 it, by
enacting that no repairs should be
made that cost more than ten per
cent of the original price of the ves
sel. The letter of this law, though
still in force, applies only to the na
vy,’and Secretary Root takes advan
tage of this fact to evade its spirit
in regard to army transports.
The Oregon election shows deci
ded gains for the democrats, and
should be very encouraging to that
party. In 1892 the republican party
in Oregon straddled the silver ques
tion, and as a punishment the fn-
sionists carried the state by the
small plurality of 811 votes. But in
1894 the republicans wen by 15.001;
in 1896 they won by 2,117, and in
1898 they won by 10,551. To win
now by only about 8,000 is some
thing of a victory. It shows a dem- f
ocratic gain of about '2.5 per cent of
the total vote. Similar changes
throughout the east, where the dem
ocrats expect to make tiieir fight
this fall, would cany New York, In
diana, and a d.zen other states, and
elect Mr. Bryan beyond a doubt.

Dr. HobtB’Sparagus Pills ccrgall kidney ills. Sam-
knack of ready invention to meet
emergencies was striking, arid her
loyalty as a Confederate is vouched
for by every man who- fought under
the fallen flag.
Her love of adventure, an inborn
characteristic of the woman, led her
to offer herself to Jackson as a spy.
He believed she would be of. value
to his force, and his campaign
proved that to be true, as the nature
of the information she gathered was
of the highest importance. Time
after time she passed through the
Federal lines in various disguises,
and reports came from her in Balti
more, Philadelphia and other impor
tant points. Finally she was arrest
ed and put in prison, where she was
kept for several months; in fact until
the end of the war of the rebellion.
During this turmoil of war Belle
Bdyd met a Federal officer named
Hardinge, and when Leo had sur
rendered this loyal Confedei'ate was
joined in wedlock to the enemy of
her cause. Soon after that she went
abroad, where she published a book
in two volumes, “Belle Boyd ii
Camp and Prison.” In these vol
umes she detailed at length many of
those incidents which had filled her
life.
Of late years she had devoted her
time to lecturing. In that way she
lived comfortably,
Future Home of Hie Boers.
The invitations sent out from this
country to the Boers, asking them
to migrate to the United States and
become citizens of the United States,
prove American sympathy, but it is
not likely that any great number of
the brave Duchmen will accept the
invitations. While Great Britain’s
policy in dealing with the conquer
ed people may be an oppressive one,
it is not likely to go so far as to
drive them out of the country. It
would be far more profitable for
England to keep them there as tax-
paying colonists than to put such
burdens upon them as to force them
to seek homes in other lands. They
are a thrift},industrious people, who
by years of work had built up a
prosperous republic, which will now
be destroyed to satisfy the greed of
a mighty empire. It is a question;
however, whether even ,the sacrifice
of their independence will destroy
the Boers’ love for their own land.
To an American tourist it may not
seem an attractive land. Much of
it is rough and barren of verdure, it
is far from picturesque and the cli
mate is a heavy strain on the health
of those who are strangers to it, but
to the Boers it is home, and they
love it as Americans love their coun
try.—Baltimore American.

Inter-State Fair is now ready for distri
bution and those who desire a copy
should apply at- once to Secretary T. H.
Martin, 218 Prudential Building, At-
lanta. It will be mailed without charge.
The premiums of last year have been
increased about 30 per cent. The classes
have-been extended also, thus offering
greater opportunity for the exhibit of
more complete lines. Many novel and
interesting contests have been arranged.
Attention hw a already been called to
the “Giant Premiums” offered for agri
cultural products. These special prizes
are record breakers. They excel any
premiums ever before offered for this
character of exhibits. Wheat, oats,
corn, potatoes, cotton and pumpkins

he best bushel of the various
offered for the
sorts of grain. The same is offered for
the best 20 stalks of cotton and the same
for the largest pumpkin.
There are five large prizes offered for
the best collective agricultural- exhibits
de by „
§100, $60 and $40, respectively, for the
five best exhibits of this character. The
basis of competition and all information
regarding the contest is given in the
Premium List.
Another interesting lot of premiums
are those offered in the Cattle Depart
ment. There has always been quite a
demand for classes in this department
open only to Georgia owned animals.
But separate classes of this character
have heretofore beeu impossible on ac
count of the additional expense. Hap
