WASHINGTON LETTER.
From Our Regular Correspondent.
Washington, Oct. Ifith, 11)02,
The members of the General Assem

tol in Atlanta to-morrow. There are
three candidates for the Speakership of
the House, Messrs, George, Morris and I
Mitchell. Hon, Clark Howell will be J
president of ihe Senate,

A violation of precedent and statute,
paralleled only by his own recent rul
ings in regard to governnent reserves
in national banks, has just been per
petrated by Secretary of the Treasury
Shaw in his orders to the collectors ot
customs in regard to the importation
of Welsh coal. Secretary Moody re
cently stated in Wisconsin that the
duty ol G7 cents per ton on antharcite
coal was “smuggled into the Dingley
Tantf law in a sneaking and cowardly
manner” and ought to be repealed at,
a short session of Congress. Secre
tary Shaw, however, does not seem to
deem it necessary to await congression
al action. By his own ipse dixit he
has practically repealed the law. He
has issued orders which are interpreted
by Collector of the port Stranahan of
New York to mean that Welsh coal,
much of which is known to contain
less than 92 per cent fixed carbon, the
limit fixd by the Dingley tariff bill, is
to be admitted free ot duty. In view
ot tbe scarcity ot coal this action is
likely to meet with applause from the
unthinking, and to make votes, the
end for which Secretary Shaw strives,
but to those familiar with the situation
the Secretary’s action seems worthy of
the severest condemnation. The coal
strike lias emphasized the fact that
there is practically a duty on anthracite
coal, a fact unknown to the president
when he made his recent western trip
There is a general demand for tlie re
peal of that duty hut, Secretary Shaw,
acting probably at the behest of the
anthracite mine operators, lias without
the slightest authority, determined to
suspend the duly, This will result in
the public’s forgetting its existence
and when the strike is ended the en
forcement of the duty will be restored
and the consumer will have to pay
nearly a dollar more per ton, includ
ing the dealer’s profits on the duty
than lie would if the duty were re
moved. The precedent established by
tbe Secretary’s action is fraught with
incalculable danger. If a Secretary
of the Treasury can suspend a tariff'
law he can institute one and in the
hands of a dishonest man there is no
predicting lo what end the abuse might
lead.

Mr. Frank Campbell, chairman of
r dent to the action of mine operator
I John Mnrkle who ordered the malls
f tin to drive miners who were playing
football oil of his property. “Mr,
Markle bad a perfect right to do it”
said the gentleman referred to. “He
was simply exercising the prerogative
of every property owner Of course,
it may be possible lor ihe mine opera
tors arid their associates, under the
law, to acquire possession of all the
property in the Unitecf States and
then order the rest of us off the coun
try, or even for the great capitalists
to acquire possession ol all the" habit
able land in the world and order the
rest of us off the earth. That is one ol
the beauties ol existing laws, but so
long as those laws are in existence the
malitia officer who refused to obey
Mr. Markle’s order was clearly in the
wrong.”
Renewed evidence of the demand in
republican ranks lor tariff revision is
constantly being received ut Washing
ton and is causing the greatest anxiety
to the republican leaders. Governor
La Follette, ot Wisconsin, had hardly
finished his statement that the time
had come for tariff revision and a cur
tailment of tbe profits of the trusts,
when Governor Cummings of Iowa
went to Chicago and there told the
Marquette Club that “No intelligent
observer could doubt that upon some
of the most important products ol
the United States the duties were too
high,” and that “it is the duty of the
republican party to reduce them so
that they will again be in harmony
with the principle out of which they
spring,” And again “it is the duty o(
the government to hasten their disin
tegration and downfe.il (that of the
trusts) by every power within the scope
ot organized society” and finally comes
Secretary Moody with the statement
that tbe duly on anthracite coal should
be removed at the short session ol
Congress. This latter recommenda
tion does not say much in itself but it
means that the tariff question should
be opened at the short session of Con
gress and that, above all else, is what
the republican leaders desire to avoid.
When Secretary Moody returns to
Washington the things which will be
said to him because ot his unfortunate
utterance will not be pleasant to listen
to.

UOIN’T TALK TOO MUCH.
The New York Evening Journal
gives the excellent advice to the effect
that young men, unless ihey are ex
ceptionally br.illiunt, should keep silent.
It quotes the advice of a wise man at
one of the clubs in New York to a.
number ol younger men, to this effect: Biguuiu.o
“The man must apt to succeed is ho
j who knows how to listen, and how to
! keep quiet.
“The art of iisten’ngand the art ol
keeping silence are separate accom
plishments.
“The art of listening makes friends.
He who listens is usually called intelli
gent.
“The art of keeping silent is even
more important than the art of listen
ing, for it keeps a man out of trouble,
and makes it po-sible for him to go
any distance in bis particular 'line ot
effort.”
And the journal says:
“But it is well for many reasons to
encourage in young men the habit ot, , , ,
silence and ot listening, through; x ,
silence and listening they add to their
supply of information. They control j
that tendency to cackle vainly, which I
we share with our remote cousin, the |
barnyard goose. And they cultivate a I
condition ol mental calm which encour-1
ages consecutive thought and mature
judgment.
“Of course, the silent man is not
necessarily the very highest type ot
man.
“The ablest oi men succeed in spite
of their defects, and in spiteo: ihe ad
vantages oi lesser minds.
“The elephant, plunging through the
jungle, may take what path he pleases.
He need not consider his steps; lor
what he meets cannot hurt him,
“And i lie exceptional great man, the
Alexander or Napoleon, may indulge
his vanity, dream out loud, brag out
Loud and still win out in the end.
“But tlio.-e of us le.-s well equipped
than Alexander or Napoleon, or the
elephant, will do well to watch our
steps ourelully. And we cannot start
out with a better guide than the advice
of the wise politician of today.
“Listen wliile others talk.”
