[ Spatial Washington Letter.] The coo sens as of public' opinion even g the Republicans appears to be when Mark Iianna opened hla >uth U. Chicago he put his foot In It aod worse than this, a great it people aaaert that the handling ? em* much boodle hath made Mark mad, ear la plain everyday American he la "dotty.** Governor Mount of Indiana asapped do to him with both feet and l la'aed about him In ss vicious a man v*r 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. *Xet the shoemaker st'^k to his laal," which bei04; Interpreted In this In* stance mean- that Mark should atlok to hie barrel. Before he delivered hla great historical oration at Chicago he she old have remerrbered the Rev. Mr. Borcusrd and been warned by hla ex? ample. When the votes are In and It la ascertained that Bryan la elected, ?lark will be the most thoroughly exe? crated man In America. Now he la king, emperor, cxar. tycoon, sultan and everything else thst Is high and mighty; then there will be none ao poor as to do him reverence. The Cat Oat of the Bag Senator Beverldge let the est out of the beg In his Chicago speech. That effort Is Imperialism pure and simple. The young senator from the Wabssh contends that only one mistake hss keen made by ua In all this Spanish Cuban-Philippine business, and that was the resolution solemnly psssed by congress aod solemnly signed by the, president proclaiming to the world thai 'the Cubans are and of right ought to bo free and Independent" and declar? ing that we were not Interfering In the Bpa 11 tali Cuban Imbroglio for purpoaes eat land grabbing or territorial aggran? disement He assev*. rates that we might to hold Cuba forever, nolens vo lens 1 wonder if be thinks that con? gress passed that resolution ami tho president slgued It just for amuse? ment? Of waa it done to accomplish aome great purpose? The latter Is the troth. It waa passed for two reasons, tooth good and sutflciont? first, to satis? fy our own consciences; second, to set ^^urselvce right In tho eyes of other na? tions, to secure their good opinion, to allay their fesrs, to remove the suspi? cion that we were starting on a career of universal conquest And that sol? emn resolution accomplished all those ends. We never did a wiser thing, and **t> resolution of congress ever wrought more good to thle gnat republic. Now, If Senator Beverldge 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 aa a set of con seien col ess liars. Senator Beverldge appear* to be Inca? pable of recognlxlug the fact that any? body baa any couacience. He advocat? ed In hla apeecb In the aenate a line of policy to the Philippines w hich la prop? erly denominated ns wholesale grand larceny. When the Republican cam? paign committee burned 2U0.U00 copies ?1 that speech because it was afraid to send them out. he ought to have learn? ed that there ure still pooplc In tills country who possess and cherish a senae of tight. That was a Revere Jolt and would have taught u valuable les? son to almost nnylH)dy except lie ver? tilge. Like Kpbrnlm of old. he appear* U? be Jollied to his idols und is nbso Iwi ?ly Incorrigible A Bralnr Democrat. Among the young Democrats In the bouse of icprescntatlves there is no finer Azure than the Hon. Thoinns M. Jett of Illinois. He is u splendid look? ing young man. has bushels of brains, lota of grit and U as faithful to hla con? ception of duty aa Is the needle to the pole. Hla manners are pleasant, ami be la what Is usually called n good mixer. He Is a leading member of the great committee on military affairs, which at the present Juucture Is one of the most Important committees in the houae. "Tom" Jett as he Is universal? ly named among ut? acquaintances. Is recognized aa a growing man In con? gress. If the people of bis district keep lilm there, he will establish n lasting reputation for blmaelf. In the debate on the army appropria? tion bill he made an extraordinarily atrong speech and Ux i strong ground against wholesale appointment* und retirements In Hie nr ny?that is, ap? pointments to higher grade for the purpose of retiring them on a higher salary Ho snld Inter alia: I dettre almptv to rail the attention of Uv? awaSI to the ll?t to il.ow the numt"-r of retirement* that took plare ?ithin ao Shaft ? p? rlod jfter the ap polatmenta were made.

There have l*cn appointed i h brigadier generali ot the ataff since the coming in of the present ad< ministration. On Sept. 11, 1807, Samuel Breell w;h -,-romoted to the position of brigadier general, and on Feh. 25. 1?W, he was retired. On the 14tli of November, 1SU7, General W. II. Bell was made a brigadier general of the staff, and on the 2St:i of Jaiiuury. 1SUS, he, too, uaa retired. On the 28th day ot January, 19?J8, General 8. T.

N?h wai nij'i. a brigadier general,, and on May ''. of the same yosr he, too, was placed upon the retired list. On the 3*1 of May, 1S99, Ccneral C. P. Kagaii was made a brigadier general, and he is now sus? pended, a fjit with which every member of thif committee is very familiar, not only of bis sus ponsin. but of that which occasioned it. Mr. Clark of Missouri?And is it not true that he is getting his full pay during his holiday? Mr. Jett?Yes. He is now on a pleasure trip iu the Hawaiian Islands, drawing a salary of $5,500 ? year. On the 30th day of Jana' y, 1399, General A. B. Caret was made a brigadier general, and am July It of tbo same year he, too, was retired. After More Salary. 1 prefaced my remarks by saying that I was not criticising the officers themselves, but for a gen oration almost this country was in profound peace, and they received the benefits snd emolu? ments ot the positions they were then filling. If they saw Ot to cast their lot with the army, they ought to bo willing to take upon themselves the Incidents and b?rden.? cf the srmy without asking at the hands of congress or of the people ot this country a position on tie retired list with a high? er grade simply and solely for the purpose of en? abling them to draw 11.500 more salary per year out ot the treasury cf the United States, I desire to call tine attention of the committee to the appoint meet of brigadier generals of the line. The first r.?e 1 see is that of General W. R. Shatter, who was made a brigadier general on Mty 3. 1897, and I will say I believt served longer la the capacity of brigadier before he was retired than any of these gentlemen who were or have been promoted since the present administration came in. General Shaffer was retired Oct. 6, 1809. 1 find that General YV. M. Grabain was made m brigadier general of the lino May 2<. 1897. and he was retired Sept. 28, 1898. I find General James F. Wart* was made a briga? dier rencral May 20, 1897, and he ia now in the sarvb-e. General John M. Mixner was made a brigadier general on May 26, 1897. and retired June 7, the same year. General Anaon Mills was made a brigadier gen? era! June 18. 1897. and ho was retired on the 22d of June, 1S97. I find that General C. II. Carltoi was made a brigadier general of the line Jane 28, 1897; that he served his country in tbe capacity of briga? dier general from June 28, 1897, to the 30th of June of tbe same year. General H. S. Hawkins on tbe 28th of Septem? her, 1898, was made a brigadier general and was retired on the 4th day of October of tbe same year. General Jacob P. Kent was made a brigadier general on the same day that General Hawkins was retired, which was Oct. 4. 1898. snd he. too, was retired on the 15th day of October. 1808. Result Of Oree Vacancy. ' 1 want to say this: It appears that one vacancy was used in such a way tint five or six men re? ceived promotion by reason of the fact that one vacancy had alone been created, and when one general was promoted to the high position of brig? adier general he only acted in that capacity fot a short time until he stepped down and out and another was appointed to take his place. General W. S. Worth wss made a brigadier gen? eral Oct. 29, 189S, and on the 0th day of Novem? ber of the same year was retired. General W. M. YYherrjr was made a brigadier general Jan. 7, 1899, and on Jan. 13, 1S09, he was placed upon the re? tired list. General J. II. Patterson was made a brigadier general on the 18th of January. 1899, apd served in that capacity only till the 0th day of February of the same year, when be, too, was placed upon the retired list. General William Sinclair was n sde a brigadier general 8, 1809, served his ountry in that rank for a period of five days, or until Feb. 13, 1699, when he was placed upon the retired list. General M. P. Miller was made a brigadier general Mir.ii 15. I-v.i. and served a9 such only until March 27 of the same year, when he was placed on the retired list. General. K. V. Sumner was made a brigadier general of the line March 27, 18W?. served in that capacity onjy till March 30 of the sane year, when he was placed u|>on the retired list. General T. M. Anderson was made a brigadier general March 31. 1S99; was placed on the retired list Jan. 21, 1900. General For One Day. General A. C M. Pe-nnington was made a briga? dier general Oct. 10, lS'JO, and on the next day, Oct. 17, 1899, was placed upon the retired list. General Royal T. Frank was made a brigadier general Oct. 17, 1809. being the same day General Pennington was retired, and on the following day. Oct. 18. 1S99, was placed upon the retired list. General L. II. Carpenter was made a briga? dier general of the line Oct. 18, 1899, being also the same dsy General Frank wss retired, and was placed on the retired list Oct. 19, 1890. 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 for S period of one day. General I). W. Burke was made s brigadier general Oct. 20, 1899, and placed upon tbe retired list Oct. 21 of the same year. He, teo, served in the capacity ot brigadier gen? eral for a period of one day only. So 1 might go down through this long list and mention General K. 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 tbey bad been promoted. As members have observed, a great many of these office*- have been retired, some on the next day aI< r their promotion, some after having served three, four or five drys and some after having IsrsSw only a month. 1 call attention to this mat? ter for the purpose of showing that whilo our friends on the other side arc proclaiming their pa? triotism they are at the same time getting for the-ir friends all the high positions in sight. Coxues Ont For Bryan. The pOWff of torso nnd condensed statement Is one of the most valuable possessed by either speaker or writer. The Thlindelphla Times, Colonel Alex? ander McClure'a paper. Is one of the most famous newspapers in the land. It claims to be Independent In politics. In 181K) It supported McKinley with grent enthusiasm and consummate ability. It has recently come out for ltryan and gives Its reasons for the faith K has Pi the following vigorous fashion It 's 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 the wind Is setting. The Times says: Four yesrs sgo, In the sudden crisis that di? vided the councils of the Hemocratic party, it seemed better to The Times to Hint a in Mr. Me Kinley's election as president rather than that, of Mr. Bryan. The deeision -vj* made in peed1 faith. The result has shown it to be wrong. It is re prated and recanted.

The condition |g oaa that tie country must moot, ami Bject now. and Iba v.jy to meet it Is by a rcassertion of the Pemorratio idea and tha ?lection of a Democratic president. No ono can question the ability, the earnestness. the integrity of tha Democratic candidates. Kor the rescue of all that hat madf America glorious In the past and that can make bar strong in the future it it* a duty to support their election. Iloodivlnklit'c the People. One of tha most u.i-Amcriean, un Qetnocratlc and an*Republk*ati results of the Philippine war is the rigid press censorship which has been established at Manila from almost the very begin? ning to conceal from the American peo? ple what w'ns really happening in that far away and sin cursed land. In those letters 1 have frequently called atten? tion to the fact that the Washington Post is an independent paper edited with extrr ordinary ability, but while It is Independent it has a decided bias for President McKinley personally and for his administration, but even The Tost 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: la there any reason, either in morals or In po? litical expediency, why the administration should try to deceive snd mulead the American people touching the condition of afinirs in the Philip? pines? The effort has been neatly and persistent. W* hsve been assured, at stated intervals for the psat 12 or 15 inontha, thai hostilities were st an end; that nothing was left of the so called insur? rection but a few scattered, insignificant bands of marauding fugitives; that an overwhelming ma? jority of the Filipinos loved us snd asked only to be protected from the wicked designs of the out laws. We have had touching narratives of the affection subsisting between our authorities and the grateful Filipinos?pictures of the sweet peace and mutual devotion prevailing on every 1 und. We have been aaked to believe that the whole country has been pacified and that the Filipino? SS a class ssk nothing more than permission to dwell in contentment snd prosperity beneath our psrentsl wing forever. Hut why sli this t:ans? paren t, this tiresome snd futile humbug? It serves no purpose, cither honest or unworthy. 2c fools nobody with intelligence enough to know his own name, snd it wearies snd disgust* all thoughtful men. t Helens Lies. Leaving aside every considerstion of morslitj and good faith and. regarding the question from the very lowest snd most sordid point of view, what profit, however mean, docs the Republican party expect to reap? These repeated assertions that the Filipinos hnvc been pacified arc notorious? ly false. No one believes them. They are un snswerably contradicted, by the official announce? ments from day to day. They promote no useful or creditable end. Here and there one finds a Mugwump devotee, like the New York Times, which, with General Mac Arthur's report of war snd csrnsge before ita eyes, sccepts 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 thing* and know whereof they speak? On the very day, las; week, when the war department gave out the report of the Taft commission assuring us that peace and sweetest concord prevailed throughout the J'hilippines there came to us an authentic offi? cial statement from the military branch of the service to the effect that violence, hostility, even organized warfare, raged throughout the vicinity of Manila. In one action alone?in which, by Uta way, our forces were driven back?more then 100 men were killed and wounded or captured by the Filipinos. Next day we were told by General UacArthur that the trouble was even worse and more widespread than the press dispatches of the previous day hud indicated. Now, by way of con? firming previous declarations, the Manila reports announce a new and even more disastrous inci? dent. Again the "rebels" have appeared upon the scene?no doubt after an affecting und fra? ternal colloquy with the commission?and the re? sult is that 50 or more of our soldiers have been eradicated. What wc want (a ask is: Dees it pay to try to hoodwink the American people? Apparently ilit* administration nurses tha failiuy that assurances' of peace in ths Philippines will make votes for next November. We hold, cn the contrary, tha* it would be infinitely bette* to tell the truth, a i mit that we are in dire peril and put it to Iba pa? triotic fueling of Iba American people to stand by us in the hour of tiiai and misfortune. Such a course would appeal to cvei? manly' nature? in tin land. The course the govern merit is now pursuing tends to disgust and alienate eelf rcspeciing men. Ant Intelligence. I killed a wasp ami 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 bis In others. Of these some fell to nnd de? voured the soft portions of the body which would not keen, while others be? gan to dissect ready for storing the harder portions which would keep for winter consumption. The day was gusty, and my attention was attracted in particular to one little chap who was trying to get to his ant htU with a wing he had severed from the body. He would struggle along two or three Inch? es, when a sudden gust of wind would blow him nnd the wing back f art her than he had advanced, lie put up with this till be found It hopeless, then carefully laying the wing down and piling the largest craius of sand he could lift on it, so that the wind would not blow it away, returned to the body of the wasp and got three ants nnd brought them back to where the w ing was. They all got on the side of the vv'.r.g where the heavy strengthening rib Is ami began to roll the wing up just as one would roll a Hag around its Itaff. When tills roll was finished, three cuts were mode through it by three pairs Of aut mandibles, and the four short, easily hauled rolls of wasp wing were successfully carried to the ant hill by four industrious nuts, Y.

CATCHING SMELTS. flow the 'Little I'M all Are Hooked Through the Ice. The smelts are all caught with hook and line, says the Baogor Commercial. Taking them otherwise, such as by seine, would be regarded by the fisher? men here as a great wrong. The fish Ing is all done in tents, the tents being gbotlt six feet long, live feet wide and high enough for u man to stand up 111 them. These teuts are covered with cloth, heated by a stove and lighted usually by a lantern. I have known the tem? perature of my lent to vary, however. GO degrees within ten miuutes during a cold day. A hole about six feet long and eight inches wide Is cut in the Ice and the tent set lengthwise of this. Six lines attached to a pole fastened to the plates of the tent hang into the water nearly eight inches apart. These lines during fishing 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 bave known one man to 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 $25 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 She I? a Gehlos. ??That Bunsby girl is a genius.** "Which one?" "Mary Jane." "In what way?"

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 that 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 a trial just a fair test. There is no possible chance of injury being the result, be? cause Mother's Friend is scientific? ally 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.
