then me fever and the r.frht

The suddenness comes when

WASHINGTON LETTER.

Washington, Nov. 17, 1898.
Mr. McKinley has been getting some
very bad advice concerning the recent
race trouble in North and South Caro
lina, but he has been wise enough not
to accept it,or at least,not to try to carry
it out. These unwise advisers have
been trying to get Mr. McKinley to
order Federal troops into both of those

to publish six new, distinct series of
articles which will include not less than
400 photographs. The idea of the
magazine is to present one hundrel ot
the prettiest country homes in America,
to encourage artistic architecture; one
hundred of the prettiest gardens, to
encourage taste in floriculture; seventy
churches decroated for festal occasions
of all kinds, such as weddings, Christ
mas and Easter services, etc.; some
forty of the prettiest girls’ rooms in
this country ; twenty-five floral porches
and vine-clad houses; and the story of
the native wild flowers in America,
told in seventy-five photographs. Over
8000 photographers, in every part of
the country, were employed by the
magazine to get these pictures, and
several thousands ot dollars were paid
in prize awards for the best photographs.
The choice was made out of over 10,-
000 photographs received by the mag
azine.

from the Governor
of either. He has been told that the
same section of the U. S. Revised
Statutes, under which Presideut Cleve
land sent Federal Troops into Illinois,
during the railroad riots, gave him the
authority to do so regardless of the
regularly constituted authorities of the
stales. He has done nothing further
than to countenance the semi-official
statement that if any Federal official in
either state was interfered with a force
of Deputy U. S. Marshals would be
used to protect them, and in case of
their inability to do so, that they would
be reinforced by Federal troops. Some
of the men ordered out of both states,
among them a white Post Master, from
S. C. are in Washington, trying to pose
as martyrs, and to persuade Mr. Me
Kinley to get mixed up in their quarrel;

The outcome of the efforts of Boss
Hanna and other McKinley boomers to
jolly “Teddy” Roosevelt into supporting
the claims of Mr. McKinley for renom
ination on 1900, by promising him that
they will support him in 1904, will he
watched for with interest. Before
Roosevelt was ever thought of as a
Rough Rider or as Governor of New
York, Mr. McKinley secured Platt’s
promise of support in 1900; but as
Roosevelt only put on the Platt collar
after he had practically made his nomi
nation for Governor a certainty, in or
der to get Platt’s machine to help elect
him, ha may, through his power as
governor, be able to prevent Platt con
trolling the state delegation to the next
National Convention, thus making it
impossible for Platt to deliver the pro
mised votes to Mr. McKinley, without
his consent. What Roosevelt will do,
will depend, in the opinion of those
who know his disposition thoroughly,
upon what he thinks will best promote
his own political interests and upon
what he thinks he can accomplish. If
he gets the idea that he can secure the
nomination himself, the jollying of the
triends ot Mr. McKinley will have no
effect upon him, whatever. It is whis
pered that Hanna intends to tempt
Teddy” by offering to throw Hobart
overboard and make the ticket McKin
ley and Roosevelt.
Administration republicans have al
ready began to put out feelers to ascer
tain what chance there will be of get
ting an administration man elected
Speaker of the next House, instead of
Czar Reed. They are afraid of Reed,who
is known to hold anti-administration
views on the expansion question, and
believed to hold them upon others, but
they are also afraid to show their hand
unless certain that enough votes to con
trol the republican caucus can be se
cured. Every republican elected to the
next House is to be carefully sounded
to ascertain whether he would, if the
administration desired it, vote against
nominating Reed for Speaker. In put
ting out those feelers, the nameot Rep
resentative Henderson, of Iowa, is
suggested as a possible administration
candidate for Speaker,but care is taken
to leave tiie impression tiiat no partic
ular candidate would be insisted on;
they only wish to ascertain whether it
is possible to defeat Reed.
should Senator Burrows fail to de
velop strength enough among the re
publicans of the Michigan legislature to
get renominated, and his failure is ex
pected, Secretary Alger, with the com
bined backing of Gov. Pingrce and
Mr. McKinley, will it is understood,
make a rush for the Senatorship.
It is announced that the administra
tion has sent an ultimatum to Spain,
demanding immediate action upon the
demand of this government for the
Philippines. Just why that announce
ment should be made now, is a little
bit puzzling, but perhaps those who
made it know what they are doing, and
why they are doing it. *
According to those who know, the
republican rejoicing over the alleged
defeat of silver in the Congressional
campaign is premature. It is predicted
that many republicans elected from
western districts will vote for silver, if
it is made necessary for them to vote
either for or against it, because the
sentiment of their states, regardless of
politics, is for silver.
Commending the Movement.
There are a host of prominent citi
zens throughout the state com mending
the movement to reduce the expenses
of the state government. Among them
is Prof. James B. Hunnicutt,of Athens,
who in an article gives strong reasons
why the reductions should be made,
and in conclusion says:
As a private confederate soldier I
indorse all that Mr. Garrard says about
pensions. As a father of a large family
and a friend ot education I say cut
down the common school fund.
Commissioner Glenn’s pathetic ap
peal for the helpless children does cred
it to his bead and heart, but the chil
dren are not so helpless. They have
all the strength of the fathers and
mothers of the land behind them. Too
much paternalism is not best, even to
education.
Longfellow to be Illustrated.
Last year Charles Dana Gibson il
lustrated “The People of Dickens” for
The Ladies Home Journal. The pic
tures were so successful that this year,
and during next year, W. L. Taylor,
the New England artist who has made
such rapid strides in his art, will illus
trate “The People of Longfellow”—
also for The Ladies’ Home Journal.
The poems selected are “The Psalm
of Life,” “Hiawatha,” “Evangeline,”
“The Courtship of Miles Standish,”
“The Children’s Hour,” “The Village
Blacksmith,” and others.

Oeorgia Pensions.
From the Atlanta Journal (Dem.)
Let every needy Confederate vet
eran and every needy widow of a vet
eran in Georgia remain on the pension
roll as Iona as the state has or can
raise a dollar, but strike off that roll
the name of every man or woman who
does not need a pension.. This is a
matter of simple justice to the taxpayers
of the Hate. The legislature should
not hesitate to provide for the revision
of the pension roll ns provided for in
the bills introduced yesterday.
