the opinion of tbe war department
officials, fully justify tbo decision
of the administration to allow muni
oipal suffrage in Ooba at ao early

find that tbe native Cubans constitute
so large a portion of tbe population,
that tbe whitea ao greatly ootoumber

there seems to be no resson for tbe

iSpeclal Washington Letter.]
While the Bland eulogies were bel?g
delivered in the house April 7, Mark
Hanna strolled iuto the gallery with
a couple of young ladies, to whom he
was showing the sights, lie cocked
his ear long euough to learn what was
going ou and "thru turned like a craven
and tied." No wonder! for the bare
statement of what Uichard Parks
Bland was in public life is a severe
condemnation of what Mark Hauni
is and what he stuuds for in public
life. Bland stood for the people, llan
ua stands for the plutocrats and trusts
and jobbers. Bland uever speut a dol?
lar improperly in politics in his life.
Hanna's high place is due nearly eu
tlrely to the unlimited use of boodle.
Bluud illustrated conscience In poli?
tics. Ilr.uua illustrates the power of
the almighty dollar. Bland's memory
smells sweet and blossoms in the dust.
I Mark's will have the sickening odor
of the valley of Gehenna. So Mark
did well to hurriedly quit the scene
where the simple story of a pure man's
life was being told for the edification
of coming generations.
Ilannn an Object Lesson.
By the way, not long since when 1
addressed a mouster Boer meeting at
Treutou, a newspaper reporter repre?
sented me us saying that 1 wished
somebody would shoot Mark. The re?
porter did not hear correctly. W mt I
did say was this: "President McKin?
ley Is a grueio?s, graceful, agreeable,
tactful gentleman. I think his natural
inclination is to do right. It would
be a good thing for him if somebody
would lead Mark llaimu out into a
sequestered spot and shoot him." I
was talking of the heneticiul effect it
would have on the president's personal
and political fortunes?not of my per?
sonal desires. As a matter of fact, I
would not have Murk shot for any?
thing. Nor would 1 like to see him die
a natural death, indeed, if he were
sick and none of his retainers and
slaves would fetch him a doctor, I
would do so myself. I regard him as
the most valuable and forcible object
lesson Democrats could possibly have
in the Impending campaign. He is worth
100,000 votes to us. perhaps 500,000.
My prayer, therefore, is that he may be
spared until the polls close on the first
Tuesday after the lirst Monday in
November. Then, If the grim reaper
should cut him down, my lachrymal
fountains would not deplete them?
selves to any astonishing extent. Want
Mark shot? Not by any manner of
means. I would consider it as a great
national calamity?as a sore personal
bereavement?If he were taken now.
Richard P. Bland.
Speaking of Bland?and there is
nothing better for a Democrat to speak
of?1 desire that my readers shall en?
joy reading the eulogy pronounced by
that big hearted Tammany brave,
Amos J. Cummlugs, on the great Mis
sourlan. It is a gem. It is unique ora?
tory. Here it Is in full:
"Mr. Speaker, ns a representative of
the toiling masses of the great metrop?
olis of the nation 1 am here to pay
tribute to the memory of one whom
they recognized as their unfailing
friend and benefactor.
"Mr. Speaker, u faithful sentinel of
the people was Uichard P, Bland. On
guard night and day In the venal age
of the republic, he never forgot the
countersign of liberty and challenged
all who approached her camp. He
uever sought relief from duty at free?
dom's outpost, und the grand rounds
never fouud him asleep. Nor for an in?
stant did he flinch from duty. Regard?
less of personal Interests, he stood for
the people at all times uud in all
places. Be the weather fair or foul,
the glint of his musket WU there.
"With him there was neither truce
uor compromise with those who sought
special privileges at the expense of the
public. He was neither dismayed at
the rapacity of greed nor appalled at
the audacity of trusts. All his life was
he a true disciple of Thomas .Jefferson.
'Equal rights for all; special privileges
for none,' was his motto. Ho fell bat?
tling for the rights of the masses, while
exposing the snares of monopoly und
defying the mercenary cohorts that
threaten the life of the republic.
?'Uichard I'. Bland had no parallel in
this age. During his long stay in this
house he had no fellow, no model, no
likeness. In its shifting scones he
stood alone. Others might change; he
nerer changed. Vet lie was no block,
Do Impediment, but an intelligent force,
steadily aiming at a goal the attain*
, incnt of which he believed to he a most
wholesome achievement and the great*
est benefit he COUld bestow upon his
j country.
"A vital factor In our return to >p.'
ele payment after the war, he had re?
stored to the people the dollar of their
fathers. The Bland dollar was no!
only the coinage of the mint, hut the
colling*? of his brnln. it i> today .?:
living evidence of his statesmanship.
Wet) did Charles A. Dana say of It, 'It
Is the only practical evidence of finan?
cial statesmanship evolved in congress
for many years.'
"Although insidiously deprived of the
fruits of his victory, Bland did not
lose heart. Having abiding faith iu
the people, he led a crusade against
the Saracen. He opened anew the light
for bimetallism. It was a persistent
and a glorious light?one not yet ended.
All admire the gallant struggle made
today for the freedom of the Trans?
vaal. Bland stood as firmly for free
coinage. He defended every kopje,
traversed every veldt ami fought with
n tenacity that astonished the world.
His attacks upon the opposition were
so well delivered, strenuous and sus?
tained that at times he drove his ad?
versaries to insincere and humiliating
devices. At times victory seemed to
be almost within his grasp, at times
as hopeless as the search for the phi?
losopher's stone. In every vicissitude
he was beset by desertions, in every
crisis loaded with obloquy. His prowess
breasted every difficulty?
"Like to the Pontic sea,
Whose icy current and compulsive course
Ne'er feels retiring ebb, bat kreps due on
To the PrepSBtle and the Hellespont.
Leader or the People.
"Think for a moment, Mr. Speaker,
of the bright satellites that set out with
him on what seemed like a holiday ex?
cursion. How many fell by the way!
How many turned against him! Look
over this house, take a glance at the
Senate?aye, cast your eyes even upon
the presidential chair?and then com?
pute, if you can, the strength of the
mighty tide that turned against him.
And yet, undaunted, unswerving, un?
complaining, be held his course with
ondevlatlng fidelity.
"He was as constant and abiding as
the northern star amid a shower of
swerving meteors. Defying mutiny,
like the great navigator who gave man?
kind a new world, bis hope ne'er dim?
med, his purpose never changed. How?
ever wild the tempest, however strong
the bellowing flood of passion, he pur?
sued an unvarying course. He war. tbe
great political navigator of the people,
sailing upon the ocean of destiny, with
the Declaration of Independence as
his guiding star and the constitution
as his compass.
"Mr. Speaker, this hall is still ring?
ing with his manly words. Tbey were
the coinage of his convictions. Ills sin?
cerity alone would have made him
more than conspicuous; his ability and
devotion to the principles advocated so
persistently made him truly great. He
had an academic but no collegiate
training. Nor had he traveled in the
realm of metaphysical disquisition, but
he had delved in the gold and silver
mines of the Pacific slope, had prac?
ticed law and fought Indians on the
border and. like Cincinnatus of old,
had followed the plow. It was a grand
training for the role which he was to
fill. Born In Kentucky, every fiber of
his body, every filament of his brain,
every scintillation of his Intellect was
American.
"There was a halo about him at all
times that forbade either the charge or
thought of selfishness. His life was a
chapter of consistent und faultless log?
ic. Oratory cannot adorn It; detraction
cannot deface it.
"Sir, memory is a never fading mir?
ror. It reflects the scenes of other
days We who knew him can still see
that modest but firm man rising here
In his place, treadiug these aisles, stop?
ping to meet an inquiry, turning firmly
to an attack, leading au onset, uever
beating a retreat.
"Richard 1*. Bland was a fitting type
of the old time statesman, now, alas,
fading away. He belonged to the gen?
eration that produced the founders of
the republic. He had the true Revolu?
tionary grit. He would have been a
worthy colleague of Jefferson, Madison
and Monroe. He was a builder, not a
destroyer. He strove to pull down ev?
erything vicious iu statesmanship and
to raise everything wholesome to a
common level.
"Whether on the floor, In committee
or listening to cbat in the cloakroom,
he was essentially thoughtful. There
was a rippling strain of humor about
him, but his face never lost Its cast of
thoughtfuluess. HI* friendship was
sterling silver; his affection pure gold.
Sir, I rejoice in my all Hi at ion with such
a man. It is better than gold and pre?
cious stones. He left his Imprint upon
the legislation of this house. Wben
the seeker after truth comes to study
the greet men who have shaped the
destinies of the republic, he will find
Richard 1*. Bland among the immor?
tals. Future historians will linger o'er
his name and gladly preserve his
fame."

The Doer agitation iu tuiu country is
growing hot. In my judgment it is be?
coming so hot that the administration
will be compelled to show Its hand?
and shew it. willy nilly. for the Boers.
Hon. Webster Davis' resignation of
the assistant secretaryship of the inte?
rior to take to the lecture platform in

shows which way the wind is blowing.

Spanlau War Taxes.
To lion. .James D. Richardson of
Tennessee, Democratic loader of the
house minority, belongs the high honor
of having driven the Republicans into
an investigation to discover whether
the Spanish war taxes are producing
a surplus in the revenue. The truth is
that since the wrangle over the Forto
Rican tariff bill demoralized them so
the Republicans have been in a nerv?
ous, timorous and irritable frame of
mind. Most of them are fussy as an
old sitting hen. They found out that
Richardson was preparing a resolution
to investigate the revenues, and Hon.
Sereno E. Payne, chairman of the com?
mittee on ways and means, whose
present frame of mind, notwithstand?
ing his Christian name, is by no means
serene, straightway introduces a reso?
lution of that sort himself, hoping
thereby to forestall the tactful Tennes
seeau and reap a little glory himself;
but the people are not all "natural born
durn fools." as was Sut Lovingood's
daddy, and they will not be deceived
by Mr. Payne's transparent trick. They
will give credit where credit Is due, to
Mr. Richardson, for he forced Mr.
Payne to take the initiative. The
probabilities are that the New Yorker
would not have moved in the matter
this side the resurrection had Richard?
son not prodded him up. So, what?
ever comes of it, the honor belongs
clearly and of right to the gracious,
graceful, skillful, capable loader of the
house Democrats, llou. .Tames I). Rich?
ardson of Tonnessee.
Later on Richardson, to borrow the
felicitous language of Dr. William
Everett of Massachusetts, "deposited
the Republicans in a cavity" by intro?
ducing the following resolution:
Resolved, That this ho\:cc views with ?leep in?
terest the heroic struggle of the republics of
South Africa tn maintain their independence and
hereby tender! them our most profound sympathy
in their unequal but gallant strudle.
Th.it resolution went to the commit?
tee on foreign affairs, where it may or
may not sleep. If it sleeps, Richard?
son and his friends will want to know,
don't you know, who administers mor?
phine to it. If it does not sleep, Rich?
ardson reaps the glory.
Porto Illeo Throttled.
The deed is done. Tor better or for
worse tbo Porto Rican tariff bill, with
the senate amendments, Is now a law.
Republican loaders are In doubt as to
whether they have achieved a great
parly victory or digged the party's
grave. It passed the house by eight
majority, and we may now be said to
have become part republic and part
empire. It would appear that President
McKinley, who, in his December mes?
sage to congress, said it was our plain
duty to establish free trade with Porto
Rico, owes it to a long suffering and
expectant world to explain, In a signed
statement, just why he flopped. Plop
may uot be a classical word to apply
to a presidential caper, but it is a good,
old forcible monosyllable, which the
great body of the people can compre?
hend without rummaging through an
unabridged dictionary. Yes, flop is
the word. Hon. Sereno E. Payne made
a poor list of showing why he flopped.
Perhaps Brother McKinley could eluci?
date the subject more successfully and
more skillful'v.
The thing which appears to be desir?
able to a vast number of people Is that
the Democratic ticket shall be Bryan
and Dewey. It h generally thought
that they would win hands down. Ask?
ed If Dewey woul J accept second place,
a prominent gent emnn of large experi?
ence said: "Dew? y's hatred of McKin?
ley is so intense tb'tt he wouid do any?
thing to defeat bim for a second term."
He also volunteered the information
that General Nelson A. Miles and Ad?
miral Wintield Scott Schley are ex?
ceedingly anxious to encompass the un?
doing and downfall of Mark Hanna's
protege. That is certainly a distin?
guished trio to contend with?Dewey,
Schley and Miles. Perhaps Mr. Mc?
Kinley will conclude that It would
have been just us well to have treated
those great Americans with generosity
and kindness.
(laiina Frylntr Fat.
Mark Hnuna is beginning in dead
earnest to fry the fat out of the trusts
?that is, if the St. Louis Republic can
be believed. The Republic makes the
startling charge that Mark's prelim?
inary assessment on the trusts is $C\
500,000! Only think of that, my coun?
trymen V Six and one-half millions for
a starter! If this la done in the green
tree, what will be done In the dry?
Mark has only one idea In politics, and
that is to boodle somebody, and he is
evidently fixing now to ecflBSS his
great boodle campaign of I80tt\ when
people stood aghast at the vast sums
expended.
So a virtuous senate committee re?
ports unanimously that Senator Wil?
liam A. ( lark of Montana is unlit to
sit in the millionaires' club by reasou
of corrupt methods used to secure his

In Egypt the. custom is for Princesses
to hide their beauty by covering
the lower part of the face with a veil.
In America the beauty of many of
our women is hidden because of the
weakness and
sickness pecu
'liar to the sex.
If the Egypt?
ian custom pre?
vailed in this
country, many
sufferers would
be glad to
cover their
premature
iwrinkles, their
sunkencheeks,
their unnealthy
complexion, from the eyes of the
world with the veil of the Orient.
