ISpeciai Washington Letter.
"There is something rotten In the
state of Denmark!" Hamlet's declara-
tion has been familiar to the ears of
men for more than two centuries and a
half. It is as applicable today here in '
Washington as it was in the Danish
realia when-first uttered.
It really appears that the Republic ,
first session of the Fifty-sixth congress
to see how much of maladministration
they could achieve.
Their chief fad at present Is to create
all sorts of useless and extravagant
commissions.
Inter alia they had a bill to create a
commission at a cost of $75,000 per
annum as a starter to go gallivanting
over China and Japan to learn trade
conditions and necessities, the identical
work for which the Philadelphia com
mercial museums are maintained at an
annual expense of 5200,000 to the peo-
pie. When John Sharp Williams and
myself fought it for that reason and .
other reasons on the floor of the house,
Mr. Chairman Hepburn of Iowa
brought all his parliamentary resources
to bear in order to force it through the
house, but we managed to block his
game temporarily and prevented Its
passage at the long session. "We
couldn't kill it. The best we could do
was to knock it back to its place on the
calendar. He is certain to bring It up
at the short session and may or may
not pass It, As the Philadelphia mu- !
seums are already doing the work, this
commission's chief object appears to be
to furnish fat, desirable, easy jobs to j
three commissioners at a salary for
each of $3,000 a year and expenses and '
to a lot of hangers on salaries and per-
quisites galore. The government has
about as much use for that commission
as a wagon has for five wheels or a dog
for two tails.
Plan to Rob the People.
The truth is that the government Is
becoming topheavy with superfluous
and wasteful commissions.
Another example. The Sioux City
and Pacific is one of the numerous
railroads subsidized by the govern
ment. It owes the United States $4,
200.000. It pays 4 or 5 per cent divi
dends, but claims to be too poor to pay
the government what it owes, and with
effrontery that is sublime it proffers a
paltry $800,000 In full settlement. In
stead of foreclosing and selling It con
gress has just passed a bill creating the
inevitable commission and gives the
commission carte blanche to settle on
any terms it sees fit!
Senator Harris of Kansas, who help-
! ed build the Patific railroads, says the
road is easily worth the debt and clam
ored in the senate to compel it to pay
lr. full, but the Republicans laughed
him to scorn and set up its commission
to rob the government of part or all of
the debt of .$4,200,000. How do the
taxpayers of the land like such a caper
as that? Why should a private citizen
have to pay his debts and why do sub
sidized railroads escape paying theirs?
Senator Mark Hanna took it into his
noddle the other day that he was a de-
bater and would with debaters stand.
He kept that idea, in his noggin for the
space of about three minutes, when
Senator Benjamin R. Tillman disabus
ed his mind of that hallucination at
once and forever. Armor plate was
the theme, and it cannot be mentioned
on Capitol hill without it being almost
necessary for the police to send In a
riot call. On that particular subject
Tillman is the boss rioter. Mark
thought to squelch Tillman by quoting
the testimony of some eminent jobber
pomewhere, but Tillman retorted fero
ciously: "It shows how unscrupulous
men get to be when they get to be mil
lionaires through trusts. They not on
ly get to be liars, but thieves also."
After two or three more short passages
at arms Mark in agony of soul ex
claimed, "I appeal to the senator, as I
am a tyro here, to give me half a
chance." As Tillman is generous as
well as brave he could not resist
Mark's piteous wail and let up on him.
The Republican Snashbackler.
But if Mark Is a mere punching bag
for senators in debate in the private
confabs of his party he swaggers like
the typical swashbuckler. A Republic
an congressman told me recently with
great glee how Mark disposed of Gov
ernor Theodore Roosevelt of New York
when that redoubtable soldier, states
man, orator and autobiographer visited
Washington lately, as the newspapers
told the tale, to prevent the administra
tion from taking bim vi et armis and
fastening him t the tale of the McKln
ley presidential kite for the purpose,
as the colonel-governor-antobiographer
thought, of saving McKlnley from de
feat. But this Republican congress
man put a different color on the whole
story. "The truth is," quoth he, 4that
Roosevelt really wants the rice presi
dantial nomination, but wants to give
the performance the appearance of
forcing him. So Teddy came down to
see the bigwigs in general and Mark
in particular. So he broached the
question to Hanna, who replied: 'I be
lieve I have heard your candidacy
quietly mentioned in a timorous way
by a few persons, but the matter is not
taken seriously. Your name would add
no strength to the ticket. True, I be
lieve you were mixed up somehow in
the Spanish war, but that affair was
so Insignificant that it has passed from
the. public mind and is completely for
gotten. Your career as governor of
Tsew York has not strengthened you in
the public mind, and your candidacy is
an impossibility.' Consequently," con
tinued the congressman, "Teddy re
turned to his own bailiwick crestfallen,
chapfallen, sick at heart and sore all
over."
Now, unless this Republican con
gressman was fibbing a by no means
Improbable thing what must have
been the state of mind of Thomas C
riatt, senator and "easy boss," when
he heard of it I leave to the imagina
tion of others to determine, for Piatt
only tolerated Teddy in 1898 because
of his fresh military laurels, and his
feverish dream ever- since has been to
nbini V.Sv t-l --v 4Va w n -wy n-f n etAAAvil
nomination for governor by shovIng
him on to the presidential ticket as
tailpiece, but now comes Mark and In
his cold business way disappoints both
Tom and Teddy. Too bad! Too bad!
A Contaatowa Disease.
It is also said that Mark poked some
very savage jokes at certain of the
cabinet members at a political dinner
by saying: "This vice presidential dis
ease is more contagious than the small
pox or black plague and is about to
break up the cabinet. They've nearly
all got it and got it bad. Now, there's
Hay. He wants it, but everybody
knows he's an Englishman and was
never naturalized and therefore is not
eligible. Postmaster General Smith is
hot after it, but those postal scan
dais and thefts take him out of consid
eration. True, nobody believes that
Smith was cognizant of the stealing go
ing on down there, but it wras in his
department, and people wtmld shake
their heads. As for Secretary Long,
we are certain to carry Massachusetts
that is, If we are certain of carrying
anything and his treatment of Admi
ral Schley in that Sampson controversy
has rendered him persona non grata,
as the diplomats call it, to the public.
He won't begin to do." By the time
Mark got through with the cabinet
ministers he had bowled them all out
in his jocular way. ,o
Republican Appropriations.
According to the statement of Hon.
Leonidas F. Livingston of Georgia, the
ranking Democrat on the committee on
appropriations, the grand total of ap
propriations for the session of con
gress just closed is the enormous sum
of $515,845,194.57 technically and 879,
729,476.89 really. Colonel Livingston
is a capable and exceedingly conserva
tive man. His statement can be im
plicitly relied upon. As it will be of
service to editorsand campaign speak
ers I give It entire Here it is verbatim:
"Mr. Speaker, in submitting a state
ment of the appropriations- made at
this session of the Fifty-sixth congress
I beg to call to the attention qf the
house and the country the fact that
notwithstanding the enormous appro
priations for 1900 on account of the
Spanish-Cuban war the army and na
vy appropriations for this session are
$50,000,000 in excess of those of the
last session.
"The statement I submit shows also
that in every department of the gov
ernment, beginning with the agricultu
ral and ending with the permanent ap
propriations, we have increased at this
session the amounts authorized at the
last session. And when to the aggre
gate we add the amounts that should
have, been appropriated at this session,
but which have been deferred for no
good reason or at least for reasons that
need explanation on the part of those
In control amounts which must be
appropriated at the second session of
this congress, such as that necessary
to complete the Nicaragua canal, the
j bill having passed the house carrying
authorization of an expenditure of
$141,000,000, and also that usually ap
propriated for rivers and harbors, $16,
00o,000, and for public buildings and
grounds, $3,000,000, and for outstand
ing claims estimated at $10,000.000 if,
I say, we add $170,000,000 to the sum
stated In the table, $709,729.476.S9,. we
would have a grand total of $879,729,
476.89 for this session alone. And thus
the total shown in the exhibit is not
quite complete or fair considering that
such large amounts that must be met
are withheld for the next session.
"I submit that to be fair we should
let each fiscal year take care of all
necessary appropriations and not un
load this year on' the fiscal year 1902
things that should be provided for and
Included in the fiscal year 1901.
"And I call attention also to the con
stant and gradual increase In the ap
propriations for pensions and likewise
to the legislative, executive and judi
cial appropriations. These items could
not have been affected to any great ex
tent by the Spanish-Cuban" war. It
shows iideed an increase, as before
stated, all along the line despite the
fact that the committee on public
buildings and grounds have held back
all matters before them and the com
mittee on rivers and harbors all mat
ters before them with two or three ex
ceptions, and all accounts and claims
have been practically barred from con
sideration at this session.

"It should be borne in mind that in
the case of the above noted appropria
tions for the navy the authorization of
the eight new warships two battle
ships, three armored cruisers and three
protected cruisers involves an ulti
mate expenditure for construction, ar
mor and armament of something like
$56,000,000, not one dollar of which is
now appropriated for and does not fig
ure in the navy item, but must be met
in future years.
The dominant party attempted to
commit this congress at this session
and will doubtless renew their efforts
at the coming session to commit the
government to what is known as the
ship subsidy scheme, which involves
the sum of $120,000,000 to be expended
throughout a term of years."
An Unintentional Compliment.
"Honor to whom honor is due" is an
old and familiar adage. Up to four
years ago Hon. Richard Franklin Petti
grew, senior senator from South Dako
ta, was a prime favorite with Republic
an magnates. Now he Is their bete noire.
"Wherefore? Because Pettigrew" was a
man of the people, in sympathy with
tne people, and when the Republican
party basely and. wickedly surrendered
to the money trust and every other
species of trust he severed his connec
tion with it and boldly took his stand

During the session just closed he has
been particularly active and aggressive
and has st'ewed them in their own fat
on divers occasions. In spite of abuse
and persecution he has kept up the

A strange thing happened in the
Washington Post one .day recently.
That great paper is not enamored of
Senator Pettigrew, but it unwittingly
