C., Dec. l>, 1001. j With nil il s cutting of red tape, j Binashing of precedents and verbosity Mr. Roosevelt's message to Congress ( Bquarely dodged tho important ques- | tiou of whether tho reciprocity treaties sent to/thu Senato by Mr. McKinley' during thc last Congress should bo ratitlcd or not. Ho enid n lot alumt re ciprocity, which ho declared ihust bo tho "handmaiden ot* protection," what ever that moy mean, but all lie said about tho sort of reciprocity represent ed by those, left-over McKinley treaties was, "I ask tho attention of:the Senate to the reciprocity treaties laid boforo it by my predecessor," and neither Con gress nor the public know to-day whether Mr. Roosevelt favors or op poses those treaties. If Mr. Roosevelt makes a few moro dodges as opou as this ono, thu claim that he is afraid of nothing, so frequently made by his friends, will have to be dropped. It phau H that he is afraid of the Senate, which has during two sessions of Con gress refused to ratify those trencics. If it be fair to judge from the num ber of visits Mr. Low has made to Mr. Roosevelt to ask advice about tho municipal affairs of New York-his last ono was this week-Mr. Roosevelt is expected tobe deputy mayor of New York, as well as President of the U. S., although if the signs of early and hard factional lighting among tho Republi cans in Congress aro not deceptive tho latter job is likely to keep him quite busy. Whether Mr. Roopovelt's treatment of tho railroad question in his ciessago had anything to do with tho announce ment that tho Interstate Commerce Commission is now willing for the law to bo- amended so as to make pooling of freight rates legal is a question that would be answered both ways, accord ing to tho man who spoke, but the fact remains that the commission which has fought railroad pooling for years is now willing to sanction it. It is, of course, no crime for mon to change their minds, but the causes for such changes have been known to approach dangerously near to tho criminal line. Senator Hoar evidently beliuvoB that Mr. Roosevelt indulged in a little word-juggling in his message. He said of that . portion of it relating to tho Philippines: "When he soys that wo are extremely anxious that the natives of tho Philippine Islands should govern themselves for their sake, and because it relieves us of a great burden, and that there is not the slightest fear of our not giving them all the liberty for which they % aro Ht, and that wo slull help to make them fit for self-govern ment after the fashion Of really free nations-I think he should stat? clearly and emphatically that he means by self-government, what tho people of the United States have always UK "nt by self government-the right to na tional independence, if they desire it. I think he .?hould say in terms that when they have a government fairly representing their people, able to maintain itself, and that government expresses its desires for absolute no tional independence, the United States will not bo in their way." Booker Washington was at tho Whito House again this week. He wasn't in vited to dinner, biu it is said on good authority that he did considerable talking about tho appointment of a U. S. District Attorney for tho North ern District of Alabama, and that as a consequence several of the applicants would savo time and humiliation by withdrawing their papers. Booker was asked whether he had a candidate for the office, after he left Mr. Roosevelt, but he declined io say a word about it. Representative Williams, Of Miss., has introduced a resolution tor the in vestigation by a House committee of the claims of Maclay that the proof sheets of his naval history, which calls Scaley a liar and a coward, were read and approved by Sauvpacu and Crown in shield, and several similar bills and resolutions havo been prepared. Tho friends of Schley ore trying to arrange things to secure a general investigation ! af the entire naval conduct of the war i with Spain, which would bring out everything, instead of investigation of any special phases of it. Tho gentlemen who aro drawing $5,000 a year and expenses na members af tho Industrial Commission aro loth to turn loose tho public teat at tho be ginning i>f winter. Tfea time of the CouiuiiBsion has n'uoidj bwu once ex tanded and will expiro December 15, if not again exte?<kd. Ts.j Commission [IBM asked Congress for an extension of two months, and as many Representa tives and Senators have a fellow-feel ing of sympathy for all lame ducks in the political pond, the chancet aro that the request will bo granted, although the country would sailer no appreciable oas if the Industrial Commission never completed what it ls pleased to call ita, tvork. Ex-Senator Chandler is believed to JO indulging in a bit of the sarcasm for nrhich he is well known, at the expense >f the Republican party, in presenting Senator Lodge with a cigar box com posed of sixteen parts of eil ver and ono >f gold, as a souvenir of Lodge's au thorship of the bimetallic plank of the Etopublican platform of 1800, which pledged the party to the promotion of bimetallism. The presentation grows mt of an offer of Mr. Chandler to pay $100 to the man who wrote that clause in the Republican platform. It WP? Anally fastened on Secretary Lodge, who refused to accept tlio money; hence the souvenir. Ou the top of tho box, conspicuously .engraved, is this quota tion from'the bimetallic plank of the Republican platform : "Which we pledge ourselves to promote." A prominent New York Democrat, who was in Washington to seo tho Congressional machine started, said of polities in tho big city : "Those people who think Tammany is dead want, to revise their opinion. I?vo seen Tam many buried mid beard tho service read too many timos to bo fooled. I want to tell you that Hie reorganiza tion pf Tammany has already begun, and il is only a question of time until it will again control. The Tammany people are tlio best losors I know any thing about. I have talked with a great many sin co election and havo yet ; to lind a sorehead. They are like a j mau who bas au accident with his au ; tomobilo in tho evening. In the morn I ing ho gets up and says: 'I wonder ! what could havo been tho matter with j that machine.' Ile proceeds to lind : out what tho matter was, and effects j ropnirs and tho next day is riding about ; again." I The House did no business of im : portnnce this week, and will not unti ! after Speaker Henderson announces ! tho committee assignments, but a suf j ileieut number of bills have already I boon introduced to occupy tho entire ' life of tho Fifty-seventh Congress, if ? all of them were considered. Tho Sen ato received the new treaty with Eng ' land nud referred if to tho committco 1 on Foreign Relations w5 thout commout. ! Senator Morgan introduced a bill for ! tho construction of the Nicnraugua I Canal; Senator Tillman got through a , resolution, previously adoptod hy thc i House, adrdtting freo of duty all for I eign exhibits at tito Charleston exposi : tion; and Among the hundreds o? bilis I introduced was one for tho laying of a j Pacific Cable, and one for the admis sion of Oklahoma as a State, with tho ' town of McKinley as tho capital, i Senator Morgan bas civen notice , that private pension bills aro to bo ? moro carefully examined in the Senate. It was in connection with* his objection I to advancing tho consideration of some , of these bills, ?asked for by Senator , Hoar, that Mr. TMorgan said: "There ': is too much slack on pensions, and I I would like to tighten it up a little." Roosevelt to Congress. '. Tno president's messnge is] about ' 28,000 words in longth, dealing with all tho questiouB of vital importance now ; in the public eye. j In tho beginning Mr. Roosevelt pays j a glowing tribate to the memory of ; the lamented William McKinley and . denounces anarchy. He not only de plored the existence of the anarchist, but beseeches congress to make it im possible in the future for the chief ex ? ecutive of the nation to be shot down. He calla atteutiou to tho great pros , peri ty of the nation.' I He deals at length with industrial i conditions and problems. j He declares that trusts must be con trolled; otherwise, trusts will control. A new cabinet officer is suggested, who shall be known as th') secretary of commerce and industry. Mr. "Roosevelt urges that congress see to it that the United States secure the greatest service from its employes. Mnch stress is laid upon 'bo brother I hood of men. j Retter immigration laws are asked forby the president. The message declares that reciproc ity is no enemy of protection. . An encouraging word is said for the benefit of our merchant marine. Mr. Roosevelt declares that tho American merchant marino should be restored to ? the ocean. "Maintain the gold stannard," says Mr. Roosevelt. It is suggested that congress amend tho interstate commerce law. Much attention in given to the agri cultural interests of the country. Intelligent forestry is urged by the president. The message urges the importance of the reclamation of arid lands. Mr.-Roosevelt declares that Hawaii should .by all means be developed, pointing out in detail the immense ad vantaged to bo gained from tho new country. The {rrent problem of the government of tho Philippines is given much apace in the message, and the president sug gests that a sterner policy is demand ed by conditions in the Orient. In no uncertain words tho president declares that the Monroe doctrine should bo the cardinal lea tu re of for eign policies of nil nation of the two Americas, as it is of tho United States. ! Congress is directed to the fact that I a greater American navy is demanded. I He declares that tho work of upbuild ? ing tho navy must not be neglected, \ but pushed forward with all possible 'speed. . He reviews the situation in China at length. Ho advises that closer relations ex ist between tho United States and the Sooth American countries. Tho p*. 3sident takes a bold stand for tho educational interests of the people. The postal service and rural mail de livery is given the support of the pres ident in his message. Attention is called to the opportuni ty of the United States that now exists in the trade with China. The consular service, says the pres ident, is in need of reform. Expositions as npbuilders of a coun try are endorsed, and attention is di rected to their good. Congress ia es pecially urged to . pay the expenses in connection with the removal of the government exhibit to Charleston. The message calls attention to the good resulting from che army reorgan ization. A liberal pension policy is urged. A strong plea is made for the civil service. Tho president says there is np need now for an increase in the United ?totes army. In closing, tho president refers to the death of Queen Victorin, of England, and the death of tho Empress Dowager Frederick, of Germany. The Baptist Convention, Tho recent session ot the Baptist Stato Convention at Florence waa one of tho largest attended and most in teresting held in years. Tho reports of tho ollicers and committees in ?bargo of tho several departments of tho church work wero very encouraging.
