' [Special Washington Letter.]
The consensus of public opinion even
.among the Republicans appears to be
rthat when Mark Hanna opened his
.mouth h. Chicago be put his foot in it
fMore and worse than this, a great
many people assert that the handling
* of much boodle hath made Mark mad,
-or In plain everyday American he is
"dotty." Governor Mount of Indiana
'hopped on to him with both feet and
t .talked about him in as vicious a man?
ner as any anarchist could do. While
.1 am neither the legal, political nor spir?
itual adviser of Mark, I advise him to
consider the wisdom of the old saying,
"Let the shoemaker stick to his last,"
which being Interpreted in this in?
stance means that Mark should stick
to his barrel. Before he delivered his
great historical oration at Chicago he
should have remembered the Rev. Mr.
Burchard and been warned by his ex?
ample. When the votes are in and it is
ascertained that Bryan is elected,
Mark will be thc most thoroughly exe?
crated man in America. Now he is
king, emperor, czar, tycoon, sultan and
everything else that is high and
mighty; then there will be none so poor
as to do him reverence.
The Cat Ont of the Ba?.
Senator Beveridge let the cat out of
.the bag in his Chicago speech. That
effort is imperialism pure and simple.
The young senator from the Wabash
contends taat only one mistake has
teen made by us in all this Spanish
Cuban-Philippine business, and that
was the resolution solemnly passed by
congress and solemnly signed by the,
president proclaiming to the world that
"the Cubans are and of right ought to
be free and independent" and declar?
ing that we were not interfering in the
Spanish-Cuban imbroglio for purposes
of land grabbing or territorial aggran?
dizement Ile asseverates that we
ought to hold Cuba forever, nolens vo?
leos. I wonder if he thinks that con?
gress passed that resolution and the
president signed it just for amuse?
ment? Gf was it done to accomplish
some great purpose? The latter is tbe
truth. It was passed for two reasons,
both good and sufficient-iirst to satis?
fy our own consciences; second, to set
^ourselves right in the eyes of other na?
tions, to secure their good opinion, to
allay their fears, to remove thc suspi?
cion that we were starting on a career
of universal conquest And that sol?
emn resolution accomplished ail those
ends. We never did a wiser thing, and j
-?ro resolution of congress ever wrought j
more good to this great republic. Now,
if Senator Beveridge and men of his ilk
had their way we would repudiate that
.resolution, act with Punic faith toward
the world in general, the Cubans in
particular, and write ourselves down in
history as a set of conscienceless liars.
Senator Beveridge appears to be inca?
pable of recognizing the fact that any?
body bas any conscience. He advocat?
ed in his speech in the senate a line of
policy m the Philippines which is prop?
erly denominated as wholesale grand
larceny. When the Republican cam?
paign committee burned 200.000 copies
ol that speech because ir was afraid to
send them out. he ought to have learn?
ed that there are still people in this
country who possess and cherish a
sense of right. That was a severe jolt
and would have taught a valuable les?
son to almost anybody except Bever?
idge. Like Ephraim of old. he appears
to be joined to his idols and is abso?
lutely incorrigible.
A Brainy Democrat.
Among the young Democrats in the
house of representatives there is no
liner figure than the Hon. Thomas M.
Jett of Illinois. He is a splendid look?
ing young man. has bushels of brains,
lots of grit and is as faithful to his con?
ception of duty as is the needle to the
pole. His manners are pleasant, and
he is what is usually called a good
mixer. He is a leading member of the
great committee on military affairs,
which at the present juncture is one of
the most important committees in the
house. "Tom" Jett as he is universal?
ly named among his acquaintances, is
recognized as a growing man in con?
gress. If the people of his district keep
him there, he will establish a lasting
reputation for himself.
In the debate on the army appropria?
tion bill he made an extraordinarily
strong speech and took strong ground
against wholesale appointments and
retirements in she army-that K ap?
pointments to higher grad" for th?*
purpose of retiring them on a higher
salary. He said inter alia:
I desire simply to rall thc attention of the bous*?
to thc list to show the r.-.:m!?'-r of retirements th-!
took place ?vithin so short a rx riod after thc ap?
pointments wore nrn<!'>. lr roany instances af:-r
the officer ha?! bern promoted '-'> thc rank of a
brigadier general he was placed immediatoiy, al?
most, upon the retired lut. J:i some casts he
only served in the capacity cf a brigadier ccnrral
until he was retired-a p>ri>i of one or two days.
some ci fear c*y3, seme of six, eight, ten and 12
<lays and some for two cr three weeks.

Aftei.* More Salary.
I prefaced my remarks by saying that I was
j criticising the officers themselves, but for a f
eration almost this country was in profo
j peace, and they received the benefits and em
tnents of the positions they were then filling,
they saw fit to cast their lot with the army, t
ought to be willing to take upon themselves
incidents and burdens of the army without ask
at the hands of congress or of the people of 1
country a position on the retired list with a hi
er grade simply and solely for the purpose of
abling them to draw $1,500 more salary per y
out of the treasury of the United States.
I desire to call the attention of the commit
to the appointment of brigadier generals of
line. The first name I see is that of General
R. Sliafter, who was made a brigadier general
May >, 1S97, and I will say 1 believe served lon;
in the capacity of brigadier before he was rcti:
than any of these gentlemen who were or h:
been promoted since the present administr?t:
came in. Ceneral Shafter was retired Oct. 6, IS
I find that Ceneral W. M. Graham was mad?
brigadier general of the line May 26, 1897, and
was retired Sept 2S, 1S9S.
I find General James F. Wade was made a bri?
dier general May 26, 1S97, and he is now in i
service.
General John M. Mizner was made a brigad
general on May 25, 1S97, and retired June 7, t
same year.
Genera! Anson Mills was made a brigadier g(
eral June 15, 1S97, and he was retired on the 2
of June, 1597.
I find that General G. n. Carlton was made
brigadier general of the line June 23, 2397; th
he served his country in the capacity of brig
dier general from June 25, 1597, to the 30th
Jun? of the same year.
General H. S. Hawkins on the 2Sth of Septei
ber, 1S9S, was made a brigadier general and w
retired on the 4th day of October cf the same yea
General Jacob F. Kent was made a brigadi
general cn the same day that General Hawki
was retired, which was Oct. 4, 1S9S, and he, to
was retired on che 15th day of October, IS9S.
Result of One Vacancy.
I want to say this: It appears that one vacani
was used in such a way that five or six men r
ccived promotion by reason of the fact that OT
vacancy had alone been created, and when oi
general was promoted to the high position of bri;
adler general he only acted in that capacity f<
a short time until he stepped down and out ar
another was appointed to take his place.
General \V. S. Worth was made a brigadier gei
eral Oct. 29, 1S9S, and on the 9th day of Noven
ber of the same year was retired. General W. 1
Wherry was made a brigadier general Jan. 7, 159!
and.cn Jan. IS, 1S99, he was placed upon the r<
tired hst. Ceneral J. IL Patterson was made
brigadier general on the ISth of January. 1S9!
a?d served in that capacity only till the 6th da
of February of the same year, when he, too, wa
placed upon the retired list.
General William Sinclair was made a brigadie
general Feb. S. 1S99, served his country in tha
rank tor a period of five days, or until Feb. li
1S99, when he was placed upon the retired list
General M. P. Miller was made a brigadier genera
Mareil 15. 1S99, and served as such only unti
Mareil 27 of the same year, when he was place*
on the retired list. General. E. V. Sumner W2
made a brigadier general cf the line March 27
ISS9, served in tliat capacity onjy till Mari h C
of the same year, when he was placed upon tin
retired list. (Jener.: 1 T. M. Anderson was made J
brigadier general March St. 1S99; was placed ci
the retired Hst Jan. 21, 1909.
General For One Day.
General A. C. M. Pennington was made a briga
dier general Oct. IG, 1S99, and on the next day,
Oct. 17. 1S99, was placed upon the retired list.
General Royal T. Frank was made a brigadie:
general Oct. 17. 1S99. being the same day Genera!
Pennington was retired, and on the following
day, Oct. 13, 1S99, was placed upon the retiree
list. General L. II. Carpenter was made a briga?
dier genera! cf the line Oct. IS, 1S99, being aisc
thc same day jCcr.eral Frank was retired, and wai
placed on the retired list Oct. 19, 1S99. General
S, Ovenshine was made a brigadier general Oct.
19, 1899, and retired Oct. 20 of the same year.
He served in the capacity of brigadier general foi
a period of one day. General D. W. Burke was
made a brigadier general Oct. 20, 1S99, and placed
upon the retired list Oct. 21 of the same year.
He. tco. served in the capacity of brigadier gen?
eral for a period of one day only.
So 1 might go down through this long list and
mention General E. R. Kellogg and General G. S.
Carpenter, who have been promoted to the rank
of brigadier general and soon retired after a very
brief service in the rank to which they liad been
promoted.
As members have observed, a great many of
these officers have been retired, some on the next
day after their promotion, some after baring served
three, four or five days and some after having
acned only a month. I call attention to this mat?
ter lor the purpose ot showing that while our
friends on the other side are proclaiming their pa?
triotism they are at the same time getting for
their friends all the high positions in sight.
Come* Out For Bryan.
Thc power of terse and condensed
statement is one of the most valuable
possessed by either speaker or writer.
The Philadelphia Times, Colonel Alex?
ander McClure's paper, is one of the
most famous newspapers in the land.
It claims to be independent in politics.
In 1S90 it supported McKinley with
great enthusiasm and consummate
ability. It has recently come out for
Bryan and gives its reasons for the
faith it has in the following vigorous
fashion. It is well worth reading and
committing to memory. The writer in
a few words states the whole question.
There is more meat in this short edito?
rial than in many speeches of two
hours* length. Considering the locality
where The Times is published, it is a
most remarkable utterance and clearly
demonstrates in which direction thc
wind is setting Th'' Times says:
Four y ars ago. in the sudden erids that di?
vided the councils of the Democratic party, it
seemed better The Times t" sustain Mr. Mc?
Kinley's election as president rather than that of
Mr. Bryan. Th- c<-<id-.!? -vas made in good faith.
I "Die result has shown i: to be wrong. It is re?
pented and recanted.
All of the evils ari l tlx- peri's of the .<. call, d
Republican policy have returned sevenfold, devel?
oped and extended tiii ti e very foundations of the
government seem threatened.
A false economic system has resulted in vast
combinations of capital that throttle individual
industry an 1 b ! . control over all th" :-:r.'-Mon
of government, and the -p itesman <:" ti." admin?
istration, a repr?sentatif . ? : one < ' these grea:
tr.:-.ts. is ailing upon his fellow capitalists for
contributions t?> buy another tour years' license
to rob- another four years' life for their inflated
aivJ false prosperity.
The government thus controlled has found it-i
fittest expression in schemes of military eonouest. ;
Imperialists and militarism an ''. ? na turd ?uf
growth of commercialism i:i politic: thc powe.
of the fv'\v over the many., the elevation money
above manhood.
The condition is one that :!?( country must
mevt. and ::.'-tt now. and the way to meet it is
by a reassertion Democratic idea :::id the
election of a Democratic president.
No one can question <!:.. ability, thc earnestness,
thc* integrity of the Democratic candidates, i'or
the rescue of all thai r;:s made Am? rica irlori. us
in the past and that can make her strong in the
future ic is a duty to support their election.
Koo<I%vinki::sr the People.
Ono of tho most un-American, un?
democratic and un-Republican results
of the Philippine yvar is the rigid pr< ss
censorship which has been established
at Manila from almost the very begin?
ning to conceal from the American ??co?
llie what was really happening in that
far away and sin cursed land. In these
letters I have frequently called atten?
tion to the fact that the Washington
Tost is an independent paper edited
with extraordinary ability, but wlrile it
is independent it has a decided bias for
President McKinley personally and for
his administration, but even The Post
is disgusted with the bold and constant
misrepresentation of what is going on
over there. In a recent issue it con?
tained the following caustic editorial
on the subject:
Is there any reason, either in morals or in po?
litical expediency, why tho administration should
try to deceive and mislead the American people
touching the condition of affairs in th?? Philip?
pines? The effort has been steady end persistent.
We have been assured, at stat?-d intervals for the j
past 12 or 15 months, tlut hostilities were at an j
end: that nothing was left of the so called insur- |
rettion but a few scattered, insignificant bands of
marauding fugitives; that an overwhelming ma?
jority of the Filipinos loved us and asked only to
bc protected from the wicked designs cf the out?
laws. We have had touching narrativos of the
affection subsisting between our authorities and
the grateful Filipinos-pictures of the sweet peace
and mutual devotion prevailing on every bund.
We have been asked to believe that the whole
country has been pacified and that the Filipino*
as a class ask nothing more than permission to
dwell in contentment and prosperity beneath our
parental wing forever. But why al! this trans?
parent, this tiresome and futile humbug? It
serves no purpose, cither honest or unworthy. Ic
fools nobody with intelligence enough to know
his own name, and it wearies and disgust4: all
thoughtful men.
Clueless Lies.
Leaving aside every consideration of morality
and good faith and. regarding the qu"sti..n from
the very lowest and most sordid point of view,
what profit, however mean, does the Republican
party expect to reap? These repeated assertions
that the Filipinos have been pacified are notorious?
ly false. No ono believes them. They are un?
answerably contradicted by the official announce?
ments from day to day. They promote no useful
or creditable end. Here and there or.c finds a
Mugwump devotee, like the New York Times,
which, with General MacArthur's report of war
and carnage before its eyes, accepts the Philippine
commission's optimistic bleatings as so much gos?
pel truth; but. taking men of information, of
wholesome minds and independent thought, how
many do we find who believe these childish ro?
mances as against the official assertions of the
army authorities, who are in the midst of things
and know whereof they speak? On the ver}- day,
last week, when thc war department gave out the ?
report of the Taft commission assuring us that j
peace and sweetest concord prevailed throughout !
the Philippines there came to us an authentic offi?
cial statement from the military branch or the
service to thc effect that violence, hostility, even j
organized warfare, raged throughout the vicinity j
of Manila. In one action alone-in which, by th? ?
way, our forces were driven back-more then 100 j
men were killed anJ wounded or captured by the j
Filipinos. Next day we were told by General J
MacArthur that the trouble was even worse and j
more widespread than thc press dispatches of the I
previous day had indicated. Now, by way of con- i
firming previous declarations, the Manila reporta j
announce a new and even more disastrous inca- |
dent. Again the "rebels" ??ave appeared upen j
the seen?-no doubt after an affecting and fra- ?
?eraal colloquy with the commission-and the rv- i
suit is that O?) or more cf our soldiers have- been ?
eradicated. ?
vVhat wc want to ask is: Dees it pay to try t) j
hoodwink the American people? Apparently ti.-r !
administration nurses tho fallacy that assuranc 5 j
e>f peace in tba Philippines will make votes T r i
next November. We hold, en tho contrary. !l;.r
it would l>e infinitely better to tel' the truth, ad
mit that we are in dire j" ril an:-! put it to th? pa
triotic feeling of the American pcep?e *o stand ;
by us in the hour e.: t::ai a::d misfortune: Such a
course would appeal to eve:; manly*nature in th? '
land. Thc course thc government is now pursuing j
tenth? to tlisrju.-:t and alienate self respecting men.
Ant Intelligence.
I killed a wasp and left the carcass
on the ground, waiting for my friends
the ants to remove it. Along came one
fellow, walked all around the wasp's
body, making notes evidently of size,
quality of flesh, etc., and off he went
and brought up a small army of his
brothers. Of these some fell to and de?
voured the soft portions of the body
which would not keep, while others be?
gan to dissect ready for storing the
harder portions which would keep for
winter consumption. Thc day was
gusty, and my attention was attracted
in particular to one little chap who was
trying to get to his ant hill with a wing
he had severed from tho body. Ile
would struggle along two or three inch?
es, when a sudden gust of wind would
blow him aud the wing back farther
than he had advanced. He put up
with this till he found it hopeless, then
carefully laying the wing down and
piling the largest crains OL sand he
could lift on it. so that the wind would
not blow it away, returned to tho body
of the wasp and got three ants and
brought them bael: to where the wing
was.
They all got on the side of thc "u ?::g
where thc heavy strengthening rib is !
and began to roll thc wing up juxt as
one would roll a Hag around its staff.
When this roll was finished, three cuts
were made through it by three pairs
of ant mandibles, and thc four short,
easily hauled rolls <>f wasp wi:;^ were
successfully carried to the ::::? lilli by
four industrious ants. !". A. Srver

CATCHING SMELTS.
I?ow the Little Fish Are ITookf-?I
Throirgh tuc Iee.
Thc smelts arc all e;:::g';t with hook
; om! line, says the Bangor Commercial.
Taking them otherwise, such as by
seine, would be reg:?vied by the fisher?
men here as a great wrong. The fish
i ing is :?!1 done in tents. t!:<> tents beim:
I about s:.\ feet long, five feet wide and
i high enough for a man to stand up in
I them.
These tents are covered with cloth.
' heated by a stove and lighted usually
! by a lantern. I have known the tcm
I perature of my tent to vary, however.
CO degrees within ten minutes during a
cold day.
A hole about six feet long and eighc
inches wide is cut in the ice and the
tent set lengthwise of th!s. Six lines
attached to a pole fastened to the
plates of the tent hang into the water
nearly eight inches apart. These lines
during tishing hours are always kept in
motion.
The way the fishermen handle these
lines, how they can bait the hooks and
slat smelts, when, as they say, they
are "taking holt." is certainly wonder?
ful. I have known one mau lo catch
100 pounds in less than one hour. This
means at least 1.000 fish, or about 17 a
minute. One smelter has been known
to catch 500 pounds during one tide's
fishing.
Some have made $20 to $30 a day and
others $200 in a few weeks. But these
big catches are only made by those ex?
pert in fishing. The chances are that
a green hand would starve the first
winter if dependent wholly on what
fish he caught

Wc have the highest regard for the
medical profession. Our preparations
an- not sold for the purpose of antagon?
izing them, but rather*as an aid. We
lay it down as an established truth that
internal remedies are positively injuri?
ous to expectant mothers. The distress
and discomforts experienced during the
months preceding childbirth can be al?
leviated only by external treatment-by
applying a liniment that softens and re?
laxes the over-strained muscles. We
make and sell such a liniment, com?
bining the ingredients in a manner
hitherto unknown, and call it
We know that in thousands of cases
it has proved more than a blessing to
expectant mothers. It overcomes morn?
ing sickness. It relieves the sense of
tightness. Headaches cease, and dan?
ger from Swollen, Hard and Rising
Breasts is avoided. Labor itself is
shortened and shorn of most of the pain.
We know thai many doctors recom?
mend it, and we know that multitudes
of women go to the drug stores and buy
it because they are sure their physicians
have no objections. We ask k trial
just a fair test. There is no possible
eli ance of injury being the result, be?
cause Mother's Friend is scientific
all}- compounded. It is sold at $i a bot?
tle, and should be used during most of
the period of gestation, although great
relief is experienced if used only a short
time before childbirth. Send for our il?
lustrated book about Mother's Friend.
