WASHINGTON LETTER.
Onr Regular Correspondence.
Senator Jones of Arkansas has
given out an interview in which he
outlines what he believes will be
the issues of the next congress
and their bearing on the next elec
tion. He thinks the chief issue
w ill be the Philippine question,
which, he says, the Supreme court
has by no means settled. “The
Supreme court,” ho says, “simply
declared that congress will have
to deal with the Philippines. As
soon as congress meets it must
take up the whole problem, and
therein will be the opening skir
mish of the campaign. Until the
Supreme court acted, the question
was, ‘Does the constitution follow
the flag?’ The question now is,
‘Ought the constitution to follow
the flag?’ If the republican ma
jority in congress, which will be
responsible for all that is done,
shall by its action declare that the
constitution- ought not to follow
the flag, I think there will be a
day of reckoning at the polls that
will surprise the republican lead
ers. I cannot assume to speak for
the democratic party, but for my
self, I do not believe we have the
right to hold any people as vassals
or subjects. I believe that any
people coming under the control
of the United States have the pro
tection of the constitution and
can enjoy all the rights and privi
leges which that document af
fords. Unless they have these
rights and privileges, we have no
right to bring them under our sub
jection. I think, therefore, we
ought to give the Filipinos our
earnest, sympathetic and material
support in their effort to establish
a government of their own, and
should then set them free and
stand up for them against the
whole world.”
Are the people of the United
States more imperial as a whole
than they used to be? It would
seem so from the calm acceptance
of things that a few years ago cre
ated great excitement. It will be
remembered when Cleveland took
a trip down the Potomac on a gov
ernment vessel, how he was sav
agely criticised - by the republican
press, which denounced him for
such flagrant use of government
property for his personal pleasure.
A few weeks ago President McKin
ley traveled across the continent
and back at the expense of the
transcontinental railways, which
spent some $40,000 in order to
give the President proper facili
ties and entertainment. Without
a penny of expense to himself,the
President and his party were tak
en across the continent and back
in regal style. Yet no one has of
fered any criticism.

By Moses Coit Tyler.
Had the Declaration of Inde-
pendece been, what many a revo
lutionary state paper is, a clumsy,
verbose, vaporing production, not
even the robust literary taste and
the all-forgiving patriotism of she
American people could have en
dured the wearinsss, the nausea of
hearing its repetition in ten thou
sand different places, at least once
a year for so long a period. Noth
ing which has not supreme literary
merit has ever triumphantly en
dured such an ordeal, or ever been
Subjected to it.
No man can adequately explain
the persistent fascination which
this state paper has had, and still
has, for the American people, or
its undiminished power over them,
without taking into account its
extraordinary literary merits: its
possession of the witchery of true
substance wedded to perfect form;
its massiveness and incissiveness
of thought; its art in the marshal
ing of topics with which it deals;
its symmetry, its energy, the def
initeness and limpidity of its
statements; its exquisite diction—
at once terse, musical and elec
trical, and as an essential part of
this literary outfit, many of those
spiritual notes which can attract
and enthrall onr hearts—venera
tion for. God, veneration for man,
veneration for principle, respect
for public opinion, moral earnest
ness, moral courage, optimism,
a stately and noble pathos—final
ly, self-sacrificing devotion to a
cause so great as to be herein iden
tified with the happiness, not of
one people only, but of human
nature itself.
Upon the whole, this is the
most commanding and the most
pathetic utterance, in any age, in
any language, of national griev
ances and of national purposes;
having a Demosthenic momentum
of thought, and a fervor of emo
tional appeal such as Tyrtaeous
might have put into his war-songs.
Indeed,.the Declaration of Inde
pendence is a kind of war-song:
it is a stately and a passion
ate ehant of human freedom; it
is a prose lyric of civil and mil
itary heroism. We may be alto
gether sure that no genuine devel
opment of literary taste among
the American geople in any peri
od of our future history can re
sult in serious misfortune to this
particular specimin of American
literature.

There is more Catarrh in this
section of the country than all
other diseases put together, and
until the last few yeras was sup
posed to be incurable. For a great
many years doctors pronounced
it a local disease,and prescribed
local remedies, and by constantly
failing to cure with local treat
ment, pronounced it incurable.
Science has proven catarrh to be
a constitutional disease, and
therefore requires a constitution
al treatment. Hall’s Catarrh Cure,
manufactured by F. J Cheney
& Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only
constitutional cure on the mar
ket. It is taken internally m dos
es from 10 drops to a teaspoonful.
It acts directly on the blood and
mucous surfaces of the system.
They offer one hundred dollars tor
any case it fails to cure. Send for
circulars and testimonials.

John D. Rockefeller, the richest
American, said some very,.inter
esting and profitable things in
Chicago this week. The oil million-
aire, who is nearly a billionaire,
attended decennial commence
ment exercises of the University
of Chicago, which he founded. In
an unexpected after-dinner speech
he surprised everbody preeeut by
calling for three cheers and a ti
ger for Andrew Carnegie, in these
words:.
“Mr. Carnegie has done more
for the cause of education thau
any man in the world. At present
he is many miles away, and I pro
pose to honor him with cheers.”
Codtinueing,Mr. Rockefeller said;
“Turn gratefully to your fami
lies and friends who have stood by
you in your struggle for an edu
cation.
“The vital thing in life is to
find, as soon as„possible, the place
where you can best serve the world.
Whatever position this is, it is the
highest position in the sight of
good men and the economy of
God.
“The chancess for succes are bet
ter to-day than ever before. Suc
cess is attained by industry, per-
severenee and pluck, coupled with
any amount of hard work, and you
need not expect to achieve it any
other way.”
These are valuable words to ev
ery young man in the world—not
because John D. Rockefeller utter
ed them, but because they are the
result of experience, and because
they are universally recognized as
true. Success is not easily or light
ly bought. Stories of gambling in
Wall street as told by men who
gain temporary wealth by this de
cidedly questionable route, are
apt to lead the young man whose
ambitions and hopes are set upon
a career of profits and honor. But
success gained in these quicksands
is not lasting, and is not calculat
ed to fit a man for its proper in
vestment or enjoyment.
Rockefeller strikes the keynote
when he advises industry, perse-
vereuce and pluck, coupled with
any amount of hard work.
■ Hard work will do more for a
young man than any other one at
tribute. There are so few persons
in this world who are willing, or
nave the health and strength that
will permit them to work hard
that a man, particularly a young
man, who can work hard and who
will work hard is a treasure that
no employer will willingly let es
cape him.

President Schurmau of Cornell
laments the interlectual weakness
of the United States. But Cornell
at its recent commencement con
ferred upon forty-four men the
the very high degree of LL. D.,
which is in theory only given to
men of exceptional attainments
and .services. Dr. Schurman is
either unduly pessimistic about
the national intellect or regreta-
bly careless in distributing high
degrees.—N. Y. World.
