WASHINGTON LETTER.
Washington, D. C. Feb. 17.—Quite as
sneaky as its attacks upon Gen. Miles is
the attempt of the administration to
make it appear that democratic senators
are trying to force an extra session of
congress by opposing legislation for a
large standing army. It is the duty of
democratic senators to act in accord with
the wishes of their constituents, and in
resisting by every constitutional and
parliamentary metnod known to them,
such vicious legislation they will be do
ing exactly tnat. They have nothing to
do with calling an extra session of con¬
gress; that is strictly a presidential pre¬
rogative.
A feature of the red hot debate in the
House on the offering of the Hepburn
Nicaragua Canal bill as an amendment to
the Sundry Civil bill was a short
strong speech in favor of the bill by Rep
reset)tative IJailey, ol Texas, whesaid lie
supported the amendment because it
provided for direct ownership of the ca¬
nal oy the government, instead of a part¬
nership with a private corporation. Some
hitter personalities were thrown around
during the debate. Czar Reed and his
henchmen in the House opposed the
amendment, and most of the democrats
favored it. It was ruled out on a point
of order, and the House under the lash
of Czar Reed sustained the ruling, by a
vote of from 127 to 109.
The disposition of the McEnery join*
resolution, which was this week adopted
by the seuate, by a vote of 20 to 22, by
the House committee on Foreign affairs,
will speedily show whether the resolu¬
tion was adopted as a part of the game
oy which a sufficient number of votes
were obtained to ratify the treaty, or not.
The vote in the senate indicates that it
’was. The Bacon substitute, which was
defeated by the vote of the vice presi¬
dent, the senate being a tie, really had a
meaning; it pledged the United States to
treat the Philippics just as it is already
pledged to treat Cuba. The Philippines
could be held forever and a day, as the
saying ns under the McEnery resolution,
if it were a law.
Representative Lewis, of Washington,
in the course of a short running debate
on the item in the Sundry Civil bill which
appropriates $20,000,000 to pay Spain for
the Philippines, pointed out the import¬
ant and interesting historical fact that
Spain is the only country on earth that
has ever repudiated its treaty obligations.
In 1762, after ihe English had taken the
Philippines, Spain made a treaty in
which it agreed to pay England an
amount equivalent to $10,000,000 to i-e
gam possession of the islands. England
gave up the islands under that treaty;
but Spain has never paid a cent of the
money promised.
Representative Grosvenor, of Ohio,
chairman of the republican caucus, this
week named the committee of members
of the next House who are, in obedience
to the caucus direction, to prepare a
financial bill to he presented to a caucus
of the republicans of the House, in the
next congress. The make up of f he coin*
I...,,., doubt that « too tail
no .t
political lif« said of the probable work
<»t this committee; “My prediction is
ihat the fimnciancial bill that is likely to
'" ne;ili,Wi '“ h,! , ' r8t se8 ? ion °* ““
next congress, whether , that , be an extia
session closely following the close of the
present session or the regular session
next winter, will not meet the wishes of
Secretary Gage and other extreme single
« old standard advocates. Next year
will be presidential year and Mr. McKin¬
ley is a very wily politician. In my
opinion be will try to make that financial
bill a dodger, and he will have plenty of
assistance from the members of the
House who have a strong silver element
in their districts.” The average demo
crat in congress would much prefer that
secretary Gage’s ideas be followed in the
financial bill, because that would leave
no room for dodging the ibsue in the
next campaign. But it is always the
policy of the politicians to prevent a
square stand up tight on a plain issue
if there is any possible way in which i
an be prevented.
Ex-Secretary John Sherman didn’t
mince words when lie spoke about ilie
of the ... ort
Attempt war commissions re l
t0 whitewash Alger and his gang and to
blacken Gen. Miles. Mr. Sherman said:
“i* McKinley were up for election
today he would get in Ohio but an iucon
siderable numbei of votes. From all
that i can learn there is little enthusiasm
for bun there, and but very few newspa
P u,s are supporting him. There is no
doubt that such a couditition lms been
brought about by just such attacks as are
being made upon Gen. Miles. W hat has
Gen. Miles done to the president and
secretary o( war tliat lie should be treat
ed so? lie has cut stood ill their way.
I suppose jealousy is at the bottom ot it
all,” Mr. Sherman may he very sore
headeu—he has reason enough to be—
but that does not prevent his being able
to 1 tell the truth. The snow blockade
prevented the assembling ... of the embalm
ed beef military court of inquiry th is
week, as ordered.
