Improvement)* at White House and Col- losNal Kf(otUm of ItooMevelt. (Correspondence of The Ledger.) Washington, D. C., March 27:—No man has received more sincere and earnest congratulations on bis recent speech on the race problem in the Senate of the United States than has the Hon. Benjamin Ryan Tillman, of South Carolina. He did just what he said he was going to do in that speech, viz : he surprised his friends and disappointed his enemies, not only by his modera tion, but by the depth and statesman like utterances he delivered on that occasion. It was a speech worthy of any statesman of the present day, and the democratic party will do well to make it one of the first and foremost campaign documents that it sends out to the thoughtful readers of the country. Mr. Tillman has grown wonderfully in the past two years in the estimation of his colleagues of the Senate. His greatest strength, how ever, lies in the knowledge oy every body who knows him, of his absolute and unswerving honesty. * * * The extra session of the Senate called by the President for the pur pose of ratifying the Cuban and Pan ama canal treaties has just got down to work. It promises to be a much longer session than the republicans in tended that it should be. or rather wanted it to be. They hoped and be lieved that the democrats would tame ly submit to everything they proposed and that the session would not be over two weeks’ duration. President “Teddy” wanted it that way, for he wants to go near hunting again, this time in the wiiusof the West, aud nas set Friday, the 27th of March, as the day he wants to start. The chances are they have all reckoned without their host, for it is now believed to be the policy of the democrats to fight the Cuban treaty to a standstill. It is said, by those who outjht to know, that not less than thirty democratic Senators will make extended speeches on the Cuban reciprocity treaty. If they do it is a safe bet that they will not get away from here for more than a month, and perhaps two months, a .0 that tto-T will nave to amend both tr-iUes <>r it ^ it. democratic dic tation or they wtil get neither of them through. The democrats have their lighting clothes on now, and you are going to see some repuhli ;an fur fly. * * * Some people pretend to attach con siderable significance to the fact that on the reorganization of the Senate, which occurred on the as-o-mbling of this extra session, that t tie democrats elected Senator Gorman, of Maryland, to the position just vacated by Sena tor Jones, of Arkansas, the chairman ship of the democratic caucus, which position carries with it the leadership of the minority on the floor of the Senate. Some say that it is a sur render of the new element of the democratic party to the reorganizer element or old line gold wing of the party. Some say that it is a distinct )00m for Gorman for the democratic nomination for the presidency. It is neither. The young element of the )arty still controls the steering com mittee of the senate, which maps out the programme of democratic proced ure and policy to be pursued. This element will work in harmony with Mr. Gorman and bis friends, but will not be dictated to by him or bis gold bug frieuds. His election was a cour tesy extended to him as the man who tad previously held the position with signal ability and a compliment to and recognition of that ability. Ht is essentially an organizer and an adroit tactition. He is supposed to be the only man on the democratic side who can hold down that oleagin ous and smooth gentleman from Rhode Island, Senator Aldrich, the republican leader on the Senate floor. * * * the tariff were not sufficient to help the Cubane and were designed toiely in the interest of the great trusts of this country, and especially the sugar trust. rjiis corroborates what the democrats charged in their campaign book last fall, and indorses the action of the democrats in the first session of the Fifty-seventh Congress in knocking off the differential on refined sugar in the interest of the consumers of this country, which the same was promptly restored by a republican Senate. This announcement on the part ofa patriotic Cuban will strength en the hands of the democrats in the Senate at this special session in their determination to fight the Cuban reciprocity treaty, not aloce on the ground of its constitutionality, but also on the ground that it is solely in the interest of the trusts. It is the general consensus of opinion here that the Cuban reciprocity treaty is doomed. * * * Everybody here is talking of the latest great cartoon by Homer Daven port, which appeared in the last Sun day’s New York American. It dealt with the changes and alleged improve ments in the White House which were made last summer at the enormous cost of $(j00,000, and which, in the opinion of many, have forever spoilt the appearance of the historic old building both inside and out. Mr. Davenport’s cartoon showed the new state dining room. Arranged around the walls instead of the pictures of former presidents and their ladies, are a number of specimens of the taxider mist’s art in the shape of bear heads, elk heads, moose beads, alligator heads, etc., and the only occupants of the room are a number of the hu man species who bail originally from darkest Africa. Down in the corner of the page is another picture showing the portraits of Washington and Lin coln, and underneath the wordu: “A few pieces of rubbish in the base ment.” In another.corner of the page is the picture of the present occupant of the White House dressed iu his rough rider suit of khaki, and it is about the the only picture of a presi dent of the United States that greets the eye of the visitor to the White House nowadays, unless he makes diligent search in the basement or the out-of-the-way places in the building. This cartoon is true to na ture and speaks in thunder tones of the colossal egotism of the man who now is the President of the United States. The fact that the President had removed all the portraits from the state dining room and replaced them with the stuffed heads of ani mals that had at some time fallen victims to his rifle, was not generally known even here until this picture of Mr. Davenport came out in Mr. Hearst’s New York paper, and some poople are actually so shocked as to make unkind remarks about it. But, even this innovation, which •vh- su perinduced by a bad casejof the mcgn- locepbalitis, is as nothing compared to some of the extraordinary things indulged in by this peculiar and bizarre gentleman. If the good peo ple of the West, where he is said to fie so immensely popular, could know the real Roosevelt as he is known by the newspaper correspondents of Washington, they would rapidly rear range their opinions concerninp him Chaiii.es A Edwards Married pttri meut.
