(Special Washington Letter.) vThat a pity th.it Jonathan Swift, the dean of St. Patrick's, cannot to earth: Certainly the funniest ?ad the moat preposterous that happened on earth since the Lll undcrtonk to conquer Qui? lt the determination of Terry S. Ith et M omne genus to ostracise Bracken Beed In the present The unutterable scorn with that Intellectual Titan must re? als pygmy persecutors needs the fas lam genius and merciless pen of to describe It. 'Twould be worth ftm years of peaceful life to see big Tom roll In to Republican bcadquar am while Perry and his petty political are In council as to how they Jai? bobble the man from Maine. Batastd stars, how they would take *D "over, get out, vamoose, skedaddle, abaq natu law! The Lilliputians drew up certain regulation* for the conduct of Gulliver, whom they called "The Man Moan tain" which regulations 1 commend to Perr? et al. In their endeavor to tie ap MY. Reed. Ucre they are: "First The Man Mountain shall not depart from >ur dominions without our license undci our great seal. "Second.?lie shall not presume to come Into our metropolis without our express orders, nt which the Inhabit ants aha.1 have two hours' v artiing in keep within doors. "Third. -The said Mau Mountain shall conflne his walks to our principal highroads and not offer to walk or lie down in a meadow or field of corn. "Fourth.?As he walks the said roads he shall take the utmost care not to trample upon the bod lea of any of our loving subjects, their horses or car? riages and not to take any of our sub? ject* Into hi* hand* without their own consent'' Most Urllltant Aia rlcan. Surely the ferocious Swift when he wrote "tiulllvcr's Travels" must have had In his mind's eye the events now transpiring about Republican head? quarters. Bnqucstionahly Reed Is The Man Mountain, and it would be awful If he should walk or lie dowu In the Republican meadows or Heids ef corn, and in the lunguugc of rule 4 for the protection of tlic Lilliputians our Re? publican Man Mountain should take the utmost care not to trample upon the bodies of any of Perry's chums, especially those of Mark Uanna. Wil? liam MeKlr!ey and Teddy Roosevelt. Thomas ltrackett Reed Is easily the most brilliant man In America. He Is the greatest living Republican. His most patriotic act was in resigning his seat In congress, and with it the speak eeahlp. because he could not indorse the uti American policy of the Mc Haaaalte administration. To his eter aal credit be It said that he prisesscd Independence enough of soul to volun? tarily lay down the political office sec ood In power and Importance only to the presidency?cheerfully gave up Its emoluments?sod retired to private life because he loved his country better than his party. No higher tribute could he paid to his splendid genius than that he should be feared and therefore hated by the pitiful dwarfs who are now running the Republican machine. They haven't brains enough to compre? hend The Man Mountain, they haven't geuerosity enough to admire him, they haven't strength enough to tie him, aad they haven't money enough to buy him. Peooot Politics. AU decent men will agree that It 1s peanut politics, to say nothing worse of It, to drag Bryan's domestic affairs lato the campaign und parade the fact to the world that Mrs. Bryan us err em? ploys a Servant girl to help do the work, whereas she foro)erly did It all herself. I humbly submit that Mrs. Bryan Is clearly entitled to have a servant girl If she wunts one and Is sbh to pay her. and the Republican papers arc doing therasclvee no credit by trying to use that fact to tho preju? dice of h"t- Illustrious husband. No .purer home life 1ms Illustrated Ameri? can civilization than th.it of the Bry? an.?. They have not flouted their do? mestic felicity In the faces of the pco .pie. bnt have been content to live quietly and niodeatly-a thing greatly to their credit. It had to einae. It was Inevitable. Webster 1mvu has been accused of plagiarism. That appears to bo a fa? vorite method of campaigning with tepabltcans. It will \m remembered tat wbeo Bryan made his astounding speeeb st Chicago la MM which serv? ed the double purpose of securing the nomination and the adoption of the platform. It was suddenly discovered thai Bryan bad stolen one portion of tola speech from Batrirk Henry and another port loo-the oeoss of gold fig are of speech from Congressman Me ITMII of Massachusetts. But somehow M did oot hurt llrvui moeb. Neither 4? i aiHtfebood that the same charge oiil uo anj great hai in to'Webster Da? ria. "To Qulgg (verb transitive) means to cabbage; to make way with; to cause to disappear." That is the latest con? tribution to the dictionary. My friend, Lemuel Ell Qulgg. has been converted Into a verb, tra la! That happens to men only at rare intervals. Indeed I hav?? never known it to happen to an American hitherto. Some have had their names used as adjectives. For Instance, the Wellington boot and the Meridian saddle tree are fnmiliar to men. Mclntosh, McAdam and Bum sides are eases where nnmos of In? ventors have passed to the things In? vented, but Lemuel KU hns the doublt honor of having furnished the basis for both verb nnd adjective, as the ungod? ly newspapers use the verb "to Qulgg" ?also the adjective "Quiggy." A niinmrring Candidate. He has fallen. We may now gaze upon that splendid prodigy which erstwhile awakened our awe and made ns gasp. We refer to Teddy. That St. Paul speech did the business for him. He is a boomerang. Republicans apol? ogize for him; Democrats sneer at him. Humau nature Is the same the wide world over. When the old woman was Informed that the cow had eaten tho grindstone, she exclaimed, "1 told you M9 fx lit SO; And my esteemed contemporary, the Washington Tost, remembering many a Jab which it made at Teddy in days of yore and rememt?eriug that Its Jabs were now taking on the character *# prophecy, publishes the following edi? torial as to Colonel Teddy: TflK INEVITABLE HAS IIAPPEN'KD. It must b? an unpleasant duty tor ao stanch and loyal a supporter of the Republican candi? date* and policiea as the R-ronklyn Hagle to devote Its editorial apace to explanations of Mr. Itooae velt'a St. Paul speech, with a view to mltlga.ing the boomerang effects of Iii? reckless indiscre? tion. Yet It is the expected, the predicted, the inevitable that has happened. It was expected by all who had any familiarity with the ora? torical methods of the brilliant young statesman. It was predicted by The Post both before and after his nomination. It happened at the first opportunity. The governor of the Empire State and nominee for the second r>i. re under our ays tern?the man who was selected for the second place because of alleged Epccia) qualifications to Sil the first place in cose of need?made these re? marks before a great audience at St- Paul a few days ago: "Study the Kansas City platform, and you can? not help realizing that their policy is the policy of infamy; that their triumph would mean misery ?o widespread that it ia almo-t unthinkable and a disgrace so lasting that more than a generali? u would have to pass l>ofore it could be Wiped out. They stand for lawlessness and disorder, for dis I m -tv and dishonor, for license and disaster at Immu| and for cowardly shrinking from duty What is there In that tirade that does not sug? gest the antipodes of each and all the qualifications which aobcr minded citizens of all parties deem requisite for the vice presidency of the United Slates? Tho delegates to the Kansjs City con? vention represented the BaSsStSfSMp of the Demo? cratic party. If that convention stood tor "dis? grace, for lawlessness and disorder, for dishon? esty and dishonor," the Democratic party stands I for the same list cf Infamies. I There have been many vice presidentijl candi? dates of smaller intellectual caliber than Theo dore Koosevelt. There have been few, if any, who surpassed him in traits and qualities thai savin and hold friends, but no parly has ever named for that office a candidate who could possibly hove committed the blunder of l!;us availing and oef-?ming 5.000.000 or C.0OO.0UU of his fellow citi? zens. (Viiaioiia For Soldier*. Mr. Kidgeley of tho Third Kansas district Is generally recognized as one of tho most faithf tl and useful mem? bers of tho house. Judge A. M. Jackson of Wiuiield has been nominated as his successor. Judge Jackson Is a Kentuekian by birth, uu able lawyer, a handsome man and an orator of high degree. 1 pre? dict for him ? splendid career In con? gress. Not long since his Republican op? ponent tried io curry favor with the eld soldiers, wuereupon Judge Jackson submitted the following vigorous ami felicitous remarks: "My opi>onent Is very solicitous about the old soldier. Sir, I yield to no man In my devotion to the llulon soldiers. The; need no eulogy from tue nor from any o her person. Many of the dead heroes of the great yet cruel war have their last resting places marked by imjwslng slabs of marble, and yet these do not add luster to their names. Neither will any words which my op? ponent or I may utter add one coble to their greatness. The highest en? comium, the most magnificent eulogy, that can be paid the old soldier Is tust he bared his breast In the defense of the Union: that he met In mortal con? flict flesh of his flesh aed Mood of bis blood?yea. that he met upon the field of battle men as bravo and de? termined as himself. "As the result of that mighty strife we hare, thank Cod, one coun? try and one flag. We now bay all honor to those brave and gallant sol dler^pand that this government should deal fairly. Justly and honestly with its saviors. My opponent, In his great anxiety to assure the old sol? dier of bis sympathy and assistance, says that If he la elected to con? gress he will do all In his power to puss a Law whereby all that should be necessary to obtain a penaiou or au increase thereof would be to present an honorable discharge, together with sn affidavit that he Is In need of money. A Great Injustice. "To my mind tills would be a great injustice to the old soldiers of this land. Why should you be compelled to pay the munificent (?) sum of 88 cents to make an attldavlt that you ore lu need of money when no one for one moment will controvert that fact? My friends, the question of the need of money la not confined to the old soldier, hut all men will Insist ttiat they aro In need of money. Then 1 submit thot It would be au Injustice to require you to make an nftldnvlt nlsiut a fact which no one disputes. Therefore I suggest that, if there be sense and rea? son in 1 . ? lot i do away V/Hai the 'affidavit' ntel make the solo teat an 'honorable discharger* If I should advocate auch proposition 1 for ciliicr a pension or the Increase thereof, you would JtiHtly call me a demagogue and say that my proposition was foolish. My friends, you would be right. I'dther prop:.sit ion Is a foolish one, and any man who would go to congress advocating auch theories wvoW write Hmmsit down es an ans and bring his district Into disrepute. By so doing he might also do incal? culable Injury to the cause of the old Soldler, just ns n tumblebug might spoil a cupful of good, pure and whole* some water. "Your lawmakers should advocate sensible measures, which will meet with the approval of the conscience and the judgment of the people. The man who goes to congress advocating visionary measures can have DO influ? ence In that body and will not be ablo to accomplish anything for his con? stituents. "My friends, the old soldiers, as I understand, do not complain of. the law. Generally spcakiug, the law is liberal and generous. It makes ample provision for the soldier, his widow and orphan. EufoiTC the Law. "The crying want and ueed of today is not for more law, but for an honest, lair and Impartial enforcement of the present law. Our pension law is en? forced, if at all, through the depart? ment known as the commissioner of pensions. He sits as a judge and in? terprets the letter and the spirit of the I law. His acts may be arbitrary, and he may wholly ignore the law In its application to a petition for a pension, and there Is no adequate relief from i his autocratic ruling. Therefore it is just as necessary that your commis? sioner of pensions should be an honest, I pure and upright man as it is for your judge who enforces the civil and crim? inal law of the laud. The law of the land makes ample provision for the im peachmeut of a judge who is dishonest and corrupt. The commissioner of pensions sits as a judge, granting or refusing pensions as it suits his pleas? ure. He interprets the law according to his whims or his humor or by In? fluence, dehors the record. He is a 'one mind power*?mighty, omnipotent and most dangerous. He receives his appoiutment from one man, and is re? sponsible to him and to him alone. He deals with the masses of the people. He acts as judge upon the cases of thousands of people, and yet those peo? ple have nothing to say as to who shall be their judge, or who shall In? terpret the law which was made in their -behalf and In their interest. I insist that this is un-American and for? eign to the genius of republican form of government. The great Iniquity of the present system is fully exemplified by your present com missioner of pen? sions. Tills Is not the time or the place to discuss in detail his work. It Is sufficient to know that thousands of petitions from Grand Army posts in this nation have been presented beg? ging lor his removal. Your petitions have only been answered by repeated injury. You have pleaded, but the 'powers' have been deaf to the voice of justice. You have Implored, but no answer has come for your relief. Ity Popular Vote. "My friends, this Is a great injustice. It is a great, wroug. Under the com? mon law we learn that to:* every wrong there is a remedy. TnCtQ is a remedy for this wrong, and, in my judgment, this remedy Is simple and adequate. 1 would make the commissioner of pen? sions an elective otllce. 1 would give the old soldiers the opportunity to say , who should be commissioner of pen? sions, and who should interpret thj law that was made for their benefit: As to how this should best be done 1 am not wedded to any particular theory. 1 am willing to consult and advise as to how this can best be done. At the present, it is my Judgment that it would answer the purpose if a law was passed providing that each Grand Army post in this nation, should at stated times hold an election in their I>osts, permitting all beneficiaries over the age of 21 years to vote for whom they desire appointed commissioner of pensions, and the person who receives the highest number of votes should be appointed oy the president commis? sioner of pensions, if 1 hare the honor to represent this district in congress, it shall be my object and aim to do all in my power to have a law of this uature and character passed, a law making It possible that soldiers, their widows and orphans shall receive fair ami impartial treatment, and that they shall have a voice In saying who shell be their judge." AH men may not agree with all the ideas expressed by Judge Jackson, but whether they agree with his Ideas or not. they must admire the vigor with which he delivers them. He will make his mark and will rank amoug the strong men of the house. A Plcturesqne Character. In all German settlements in the west a curious wedding custom pre? vails which Is said to have been trans? planted from Hanover. When a young couple is to be married, the elder brother of the bride, or, if she has no brother, some other male member of the family, takes his place, starts out a few days before the wedding on | horseback and distributes the invita? tions. He la called the "brautbeter"? literally the "brine Inviter." lie Is a picturesque figure, and in his trip about the country he Is the recipient of many perquisites In money or gifts, which, by right of custom, are kept as his own; but. however small, the present Is Invariably expected and given. It v l>o a piece Of money, n bill or a coin or It may be only a ribbon or a trinket. Upon his return trip ho decorates his person ami bis horse with his gifts.? ii ?. .?>.(. T ribune. laeanalMteat. "Yon keep me waiting so long!" com plained the customer. "Madam." said the worried grocer, who was economising in his husloeos by employing only one clerk, "ain't you the woman that wie In here yesterday kicking al?out short weights?"?Chica? go Tribune. THE. MODE. Pavilion In (iown Skirt* and Silk PottleoatS, Skirts ore decidedly long, touching the ground in front and at the sides, while at tho back they drag more or loss. Tho consequence is that every woman carries her ski: t in her hand in the street, which necessitates pretty and well eared for CIIiL's TOILET, shoos. The only short skirts worn arc those which are uncompromisingly short, escaping the ground l?y several incaes. Petticoats follow the fashions of gowus in form, but do not trail at all. even when intended for wear with a trained skirt. They are still much trimmed below the knee, but are quite plain above it and St the hack of the waist are laid In a few plaits. Petticoats of the more elaborate order have insets of black or white iaee, raffles of chiffon edged with ribbon or Velvet, tiny gaUZO ruches or niches of finely pinked silk, flounces of lace, and, in fact, art as richly adorned as gowns. The plainer kinds have various arrange" ments of plaiting* and ruffles of the same material as the body of the petticoat, which is usually taffetn or a kind of silk alpaca, which is more durable. The girl's costume pictured is of beige satin cloth, the skirt being plaited and stitched at the sides and back. It closes at the right side, the edge being scalloped and bordered with a band of brown vel? vet, with appliques of blue silk. The bo? lero and sleeves of the cloth are trimmed la the same way. Tho chemisette is of shirred blue silk, and tho wide, plaited belt is also of blue silk. Tho sailor hat of fancy straw is decorated with iKUgo ribbon, a beige plume and a gold buckle. JUDIO CnOLLBT.
