Richardson, Aclm’r, Nov. 26,1802. ’ Byron, Ga. 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.

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.
