ISpedal Washington Letter.] Palsied be the hand that draws the Woody shirt from its dishonored grave and waves it in the face of the Ameri? can people to stir up strife! That's my sentiment and it comes warm from my heart. And that is precisely the ghoulish caper that Governor Roose? velt is now cutting before high heaven. For this culpable and inexcusable per? formance he deserves and will receive the execration of all honest and patri? otic men. No human being has had such an astounding case of big head ?ince Napoleon the Great died on his sullen isle amid a storm which rocked the world to its foundations, murmur? ing. "Tete d'arm?e!" The immortal Corsican had a right to be an egotist. He had accomplished marvelous things, trat Teddy's achievements, both in peace and in war, are mere bagatelles. Thackeray says that George IV had knighted so many people for heroism on the Seid and had presented so many banners to returning regiments during the Napoleonic wars that he finally be? came *iuny" on the subject and con? cluded that he, under the name and style of Colonel Brock, had led a tre? mendous charge of the Scotch high? landers at Waterloo. Teddy seems to labor under the same sort of hallucina? tion. He appears to think that he was the whole thing during the Spanish war. He not only, single handed and ?lone, conquered the dons by land, but he "is responsible for Dewey's amazing j victory at Manila. Teddy was the Car? not of that immortal deed and organ? ized that victory, to hear him tell the tale. If he keeps on. he will finally conclude that he captured Vicksburg, conquered at Gettysburg and compelled the surrender of General Robert E Lee at Appomattox. The Mao Who Blows His Horn. Mark Twain said. "Blessed is the man who bloweth his own horn, lest it be not blown!" Teddy must have read that bit of sarcastic philosophy written by the great Missouri humor? ist, and not only has he taken it to heart, but adopted it as the rule and guide of his faith and practice, for as? suredly no man of this generation has so exalted his own horn. lie blows it Jong, loud and on all occasions. But that is a venial siu, if sin it be, and injures no one except his fellow soldiers of donors justly due them. But dragging the bloody shirt out of its tomb for per ? sonal i>olitical reasons is the sin unpar? donable against the American people. 3y so doing Colonel Roosevelt not only .writes himself down as a Cheap John demagogue, but as a pestilent disturb? er of the public peace. Trro Kinds of Republicans. There are Republicans and Republic? ans. Seventeen times this summer I iiad joint discussions with Hon. Jona? than Prentiss Doll i ver. the new sena? tor from Iowa. Always in enumerat? ing the benefits of the Spanish war ^he placed among them "a reunited country." and that item always provok? ed applause. Now comes the vaporing egotist from Oyster Bay and knocks that prop out from under Brother Dol? li ver. If Teddy is right. Jonathan is wrong, and there is no "reunited coun? try." If Jonathan is correct. Teddy .is a malignant, enemy of his country who for personal gain seeks to re-em? broil the various sections of the coun- j try against each other. Of course it j was none of my business, except in j the most general way. but from the bottom of my heart I wish that Dolli ver had received that vice presidential nomination instead of Roosevelt j Should McKinley be elected bv any chance--though it looks Uke s *J to I shot against him -and should he die and Roosevelt succeed, lit* will bend all his energies to reintroducing the era of hate, which would he the greatest calamity tbat could befall the country, which God forbid I There is one day that 1 have always loved to think about, and that is th'.' 8th of March, 1S.08. when the house of representatives, without a man miss? ing-Democrats, Republicans.

What consum?! idiocy!

There are frills or fuss and feathers about y< Uncle Rudolph.

Wonder these Republic editors never learn that Democrats ? like cats a-fighting-"more fight, mc cats." So true is this that when t Texas Democracy was split in twa some years ago The Globe-Democi mournfully remarked, "Perhaps t Democratic majority in Texas can kept below the 200,000 mark this yeai It's a 10 to 1 shot that the Democra of Texas will redeem Colonel Hawley district and send a solid Democral delegation to congress instead of k ing Kleberg's district Dr. Richard Bartholdi of St. Lou will have to keep his optic peeled or 1 will get his congressional tail.pulle The doctor thinks he has a lead pi] cinch on that district. To a casual o server it looks as if he had, as he hi been receiving S.000 and 30,000 majoi ties, but if the doctor depends on pa majorities be is likely to find himse "ausgespielt." for the Democrats ha-* acted with rare good sense and ha-\ nominated against him Lieutenai Governor A.

Of all the Republicans and Populist now co-operating with the Democrat none has more brains than Charles A Towne. He is a man of the highes character and highest capacity. Hi conduct in refusing a vice presidenti:'. nomination and in putting bis service where they will do the most good i ; proof positive that he Is a patriot There Is no better political literatim than Towne's speeches. His silvei J speech in congress gave him an inter I national reputation as an orator. H< maintains on the stump and on thc platform the vast reputation then anc there made. In his Duluth speeel Towne tackled "Teddy the Terror,' and the artistic manner in which hf flayed that self constituted hero addi largely to the gayety of nations, lr speaking of Teddy's St. Paul harangue Towne says: The speech is, with rare exception, an alternatior of evasion and assertion. In spirit it is a com pound of scold and scullion. As to its facts, il abounds in inaccuracies which, ii accidental, ar? inexplicable as comim: from a man who has per? formed creditably work in history and biography. But the world is accustomed to inconsistencies from Mr. Roosevelt. It has long looked upon him as a predestined and incorrigible eccentric, lt has given up attempting to explain him or tc reconcile him with himself, lt is quite impossi? ble, whether it would be worth while otherwise or not, to make an entirely satisfactory diagnosis of a civil service reformer in partnership with Thomas C. Platt; a citizen soldier who ridicules the volunteers; a leader in battle who finds glory in bein;; rescued from an ambush; a hero who boasts of shooting a fleeing foe in the back; a candidate who plays and poses to delegates and galleries to obtain a nomination ^at he does not war.t; a gentleman who cliarges six and a hali millions of bis fellow countrymen with lawlessness, dishonesty and cowardice; a _ statesman who, mounted on a hobby, rides roughly at grave ques? tions in economies and politics, swinging iris par ! tisan lariat and yelling liku at: intellectual Co j manche. ! That is as ;:?.:!t a piece ol* skinning i as this campaign will furnish, lt is [ classical, forceful, true and ?ms a ' Juniuslike finish that is charming. RciinblicaxiM en th?* Run. j j The lb publicans are <-n the run i everywhere. They are sheared. Straws j show xviii.-!: way the wind blows. I lj) ia thc old (Granite Strtto iron. YVil ! liam E.

'tie is simply making his r:;<-..- under false pretenses in order t > keep a Democrat out of the senate and to lift Limself in again. Ont in Indian;! thc friends of Hun. Charles B. Landis are also scared a ad. strange to say. are endeavoring 'to work on *ho Hoosier voters a game of bunko v*ry similar to the one Senator Chandler is playing up in New Hamp? shire. Thc Landis rooters, seeing him about to lose his seat in congress to a Democrat, have raised the hue .and cry that Brigham H. Roberts of Utah is raising heaven and earth and expend? ing a large sum of hard cash to beat Landis. What arrant nonsense! What cheap demagogy! What miserable claptrap! Landis had no more to do with putting Roberts out than did a dozen others, not much more than about 200 others, and Roberts knows that Then why should Roberts single out Landis for vengeance any more than Judge Lanham of Texas? It's all bosh and shows the sore straits in which Republican candidates find themselves. By the way. it appears that Landis is not the only Republican statesman who uses Roberts as a bogy man. Hon. Robert W. Taylor of Ohio started the same canard to save himself from be? ing defeated for the nomination, and, wonderful to tell, the trie!: worked like a charm. I really wonder how many i more of them are going to try to save their congressional bacon by yelling: "Help, good people; help! That man Roberts is after me!" Roberts, even if fool enough to undertake it would have to be richer than Croesus to do much toward punishing the men who bounced him. I helped to do that thing myself. I took a humble part in the purification of congress. I helped to keep him out but I am not idiot enough to believe that Roberts could control even one vote in the congressional dis? trict which I have the honor to repre? sent. Landis must have a marvelous lot of constituents if he fears the ma? lign influence of Roberts upon them. He really believes nothing of the sort, and the Roberts business is a bold, bald play to the galleries. Repeaters In West Virginia. . But in West Virginia the badly scar? ed Republican leaders are playing a more substantial game. Even at this early date they are importing colored heelers and repeaters by the carload "to work on the railroad." You bet they will "work on the railroad"-one day-the day of the election! After "working on the railroad" the first half of that day they will journey over into Kentucky and "work on the railroad" some more. Nothing like having a few thousand nomadic colored brothers "to work on the railroad" on election day. Republicans are scared, but it should be remembered that they are most dan? gerous when most scared, and Demo? crats should be more vigilant than ever. Democratic managers every? where should see to lt that we have a fair deal this time and that no such wholesale colonization and stuffing of the ballot box are permitted this time as took place in 1S9G. If elections are al? ways to be conducted on the corrupt plan of 1S9C. we might as well save the expenses of the farce and boldly and openly put the ?nices up at auction and knock them down to the highest bidder. Vicious Jab nt Teddy. But Mr. Towne is not the only per? son that seems disposed to take a fall out of Colonel Roosevelt. That bright and sparkling independent journal, the Washington Tost, makes this vicious jab at Teddy: This is not the first time Teddy the Terrible has beca compelled to wriggle ont of an unpleasant predicament, lt will be recalled that the ques? tion of tax paying slipped into his gubernatorial campaign. # As a friend and constant reader of The Post I voluntarily and without charge advise it to "look a leedle out" or the hero of Oyster Bay will swoop down upon Washington, lasso it and dump it into the Potomac. Just as he is blossoming out as the great apostle of purity and light, it is bad manners In The Post to jog the people's memory about Teddy's career as a tax dodger, and recalls Bourke Cockran's great ar? gument against the income tax, to wit: "That the passage of the Income tax bill would force the poor persecuted downtrodden plutocrats of New York to commit perjury in order to escape payment!" If a hero is not permitted to dodge his taxes, what's the use In being a hero? Let the Washington Post answer that or forever hold its peace. The Globe-Democrat is the Mark Tapley of American politics. It is al? ways cheerful, forever hopeful Just at present it is trying to delude itself and its readers by asserting that Dem? ocratic leaders in Missouri fear a slump if not a defeat. I commend to it a careful perusal of the following beautiful poem by tay friend Ripley D. Saunders* HOT TIMES IX OLD MISSOURI.

"-Philadelphia Press. The Small Cotton Crop. - The disasters which have hindered ? the present cotton crop io Georgia j are now painfully apparent, when we I see the few open bolls and the rust covered leaves on the stalks This opening is premature and in many places there will be no cotton to pick by the middle of October or sooner. I may be mistaken, but I have an idea that thia rust ie found where the young cotton plants were hoed or ploughed when the soil was too wet This rust is a killer of the tender yoong fruit, wheo the torrid son poors down opon the fields It takes oat the tender jaices from squares aod stalks aod the few perfected cotton bolls are soon cracked opeo, the trifle of cottoo lint is soon picked oat, and the little bit of money it brings hardly meets the guano bill and the expense of pick? ing ont. There has beeo great com plaint io gooe-by years of cheap cottoo io the south. That day has past. Labor, that was once cheap, has become dear, aod the seasoDs have turned against cottoo cuitare Nevertheless cottoo is the best mooey crop for the average farmer The money is sore to come wheo he carries in a bale of cotton to market.

SHOUTING. It used to be quite common to have "a shout io thc camp" io the public service of our charcb. Iodeed, it used to be the exception when this did not take place. It is told cf a good brother who characterized the preaching of a certaio preacher by saying that the bless? 102 came after the sermon had beeo finished. Thia was exceptional. No little of the preacher's success was iu the effusive response and demonstration of his emotiooal bearers. Shouting may cow be put down as a ching of the past.

Washington, Sep: 24.-The census bureau aoooureed that the copulation of Chattanooga. Tenn, is 32,490 as as agaiost 29,100 io 1890. This is an iocrease of 3,390 or 11.65 per C20t.. The population of the city of Sa? vannah, Ga. as officially announced today is 54,244 as against 43,189 in 1890. These figures show for toe city as a whole an iocrease io population of 11,055 or 25 60 per cent from 1890 to 1900. The population in 1880 was 30,709, showing an increase of 12,480 or 40 64 per cent from 1880 to 1890. Jos.
