TWO PAPERS FOR
THE PRICE OF ONE.
WASHINGTON LETTER.
Special Correspondence,
_ The determination of Senator
Beveridge and a clique of republi-
can senators, of whom he is the
mouthpiece, to obstruct the pas-!
of th© v.* i i
bill was
Omnibus Territorial
, -i. mi a g ai B made evident on !
last Thursday when the measure I
came up for discussion in the Sen- j
ate. That a considerable majori-1
ty of the members of the Senate!
favor the admission of the terri- 1
tories to statehood,> iu accordance i
with the pledges of the national!
platform of both parties, is also !
evident from the dilatory tactics 1
which the opposition is adopting
and their anxiety to prevent af
test vote on the bill. Senator :
Quay, who is championing the’
cause of the territories, openly 1
charged the opposition with ob- ;
structiou measures. Their state- j
ment that sufficient time had - not
been allowed for the discussion of
the measure he met with the
statement that the subject had
been under discussion for fifty
years. Many months ago the
House passed the bill and the
Senate Territorial Committee had,
postponed making its report un- !
til the last possible moment. In
conclusion Mr. Quay said, “If:
the republican party can lie to j
the people about one plank in its
platform it can lie about all.”
Finally,. however, the Pennsyl
vania Senator permitted the bill
to go over until 2 o’clock today,
when it will become the regular j
order of business. It is evident
that if the Senate ever gets an op
portunity to vote squarely on the
measure it will be defeated by
parliamentary chicanery.
Again the markets of the coun
try are upset and another appeal
has been made to Secretary Shaw
to do something for the relief of
the speculators. The prediction
is made that things will become
much worse before the first of
January, but thej Secretary an
nounces that he can and will do
nothing. As the elections are
over, it is probable that Mr. Shaw
means what he says but, as be
fore a report 1 emanating from
Wall Street to the effect that the
Secretary of ihe Treasury was
about to resign promptly brought
the needed relief, even though it
was necessary to violate the law
and accept wild-cat security for
United States funds in order to
afford that relief, it will not be
safe to count on Mr. Shaw’s ad
herence to his present statement.
Since the death of Hon. Thos.
B. Reed it has become known that,
he was in Washington for the

THE COMMONER,
(Mr. Bryan’s Paper.)
The Commoner has attained within
six months from date of the first issue a
circulation/of 100,000 copies, a record
probably never equaled in the history of
American periodical literature. The
unparalleled growth of this paper de
monstrates that there is room in the
newspaper fields for a national paper de
voted to the discussion of political,
economic, and social problems. To the
columns of the Commoner Mr. Bryan
contributes his best efforts ;and his views
c/f political events as they arise from
#ime to time can not fail to interest those
who study public questions,
i. The Commoner’s regular subeription
'price is $1.00 per year. We have arrang-
I ed with Mr. Bryan whereby we can fur-
) nish his paper and Home Journal to-
j gether for-on& year for $1.90. The reg-
) ular subscription price of the two pa-

Washington
purpose of sounding congressional
sentiment with a view to his an
ticipated candidacy as Wall
Street’s choice in the next nation
al republican convention. Mr.
Reed was firmly convinced that
before that time Mr. Roosevelt
would still further incur the en
mity of Wall Street and he had
received assurances that he could
count on the support of the vest
ed interests.
There is evident in republican
circles in Washington a belliger
ent''element which would be glad
to see war precipitated with any
nation which the United States
could safely count on vanquish
ing. The exponents of this senti
ment talk loudly about the dras
tic measures which should be ta
ken in regard to Cuba and Colum
bia/ Cuba should be cowed into
accepting the Platt amendment
in all its details and should be
given to understand that any fur
ther evidence of reluctance would
be followed by the landing of Uni
ted States troops on Cuban soil
and the entry of United States
gunboats into Havana harbor,
say these bellicose advisors of the
President. Colombia should be
treated to the same “course of
sprouts.” If she does not prompt
ly accept the proposals of Secre
tary Hay as remuneration for the
zone of land through which the
canal will pass, she should be
held up and made to do it at the
muzzles of American guns.
Oasiomn and Lepromin o< the Non-
German Population.
Yuletlde as kept by the non-German
population of Austria Is very pictur
esque. On Christmas day the Poles in
Galicia first attend mass and then sit
down to family supper. The chief dish
on the table contains consecrated eggs,
which the father distributes. After eat
ing, all eyes are closed and all heads
bowed down to the table in the belief
that Jacob's ladder is then descending
from heaven to earth and down the
ladder angels are coming to bless the
worshipers and to carry away their
earthly troubles to heaven. Among the
Czechs the legend runs that he who
most strictly fasts on Christmas eve
will see the holy Christ in his dreams
that night. In the evening the real cel
ebration begins. All lights are then
extinguished in the house; no fire, no
light is visible. The children crowd to
gether In fear and remain perfectly si
lent, as otherwise they know they will
receive none of the presents brought
by the Christ Child and laid at the en
trance of the house. The older fe
males amuse themselves by throwing
heated lead into water and gathering
from the forms it,assumes some hint
as to the appearance of their future
husbands.—Pittsburg Dispatch.
Moral Education in Public Schools.
To dispute the question as to
the right of the state to provide
moral education would virtually
iuvolve a total denial of the duty
of public education. If it is a du
ty that every child of the commu
nity Should be taught to read,then
a thousand times greater the duty
that the child should learn to obey
superiors, to respect the laws of
the land, to render just value iu
return for what is received, to in
flict no pain upon others, to look
upon falsehood as degredation, to
idealize the good-, the true and
the beautiful. I do not hesitate
to affirm that this is the primary
obligation of the State in educa
tion, while imparting reading,
writing, mathematics and geogra
phy are secondary adjuncts. No
one thing would more completely
rejund out common school educa
tion so that it would healthfully
contribute to ffihe happiness of la
ter life.—C. H. Torsch, in Balti
more Sun.
If I had some magic gift to be
stow, it would be to make our
eountry,youth see one truth,name
ly: that science as applied to the
farm, the garden and the forest
has as splendid dignity as astron
omy; that it may work just as
many marvels and claim as high
an order of talent.—John Graham
Brooks.
