I - Special Washington Letter. Alexander Pope says: Hope springs eternal in the human breast; Man never is, but always to be, blessed, which is a very great consolation to Democrats at the present time. We received a most tremendous trouncing, and no mistake, in the melancholy days of November. There is no use to cry over spilled milk. The right way is to pick your flint and try lt again. There Is no great cause for being downheart ed. History furnishes many facts which justify the belief that the vic tors In one election may be the van quished In the next. In 1848 the Whigs elected General Taylor presi dent, and no doubt they believed they had a long lease of power. Yet In 1802, with General Winfieid Scott for their candidate, they carried only three states in the Uniou. In 1SS8 General Harrison defeated Cleveland by a hand some majority. Harrison made a good president, yet In 1892 Cleveland re ceived a very large majority In the electoral college. If the Democrats had been thoroughly organized that year, Cleveland would have carried three-fourths of the states in the Un ion. In four short years after that great victory McKinley received 95 majority In the electoral college. It Is the same way in England. Only a few years ago It looked as if the Con servatives would disband would nev er carry another election. Now the Liberals constitute a feeble minority. The Republicans may carry the next presidential election, but the chances are decidedly in favor of the proposi tion that they will not. McKinley's vic tory Is not so sweeping as was Grant's in 1S72, yet in 1874 the Democrats elected the house of representatives by. an enormous majority and elected Til den In 187G. The chances are that his tory will repeat Itself and that we will elect the congress in 1902 and both the president and congress in 1904, What Will They Dot ' Now that the Republicans have won a great victory the momentous ques tion to them and to every one else is, What will they do with it? If the su preme court decides the Porto RIcan tariff bill unconstitutional, thereby' holding that the constitution follows the flag and that all the islanders are embryo citizens of the republic and it is a 100 to 1 shot that it will do that very thing the Republicans will run races with us as to which shall get rid of the Filipinos first, f of the laboring people of this country will never sup port a party which favors bringing 10, 000,000 or 15,000,000 or 20.000,000 Asi atics Into direct competition with them. It would mean the utter annihilation of any party that should advocate it, Individually I have no doubt that the supreme court will so hold, for it can not hold any other way if it ha any respect at all for the constitution, and, what's more, 1 believe that the Repub lican leaders themselves, when they passed that bill, believed firmly that It was unconstitutional arid would be so declared. They passed lt as a mere makeshift to tide them over this elec tion, knowing the supreme court would not pass upon it until the election of 1900 was lost or won. On the other hand, should the su preme court hold the law constitution al, then McKinley's administration will continue this Philippine war, which is an Interminable affair. The American people will get so tired of the useless sacrifice of blood and treasure that they will turn the Republican party out neck and crop. There never was such an idiotic performance since the world began, so that, no difference which happens,-the Republican victory Is liable to bring them nothing but trouble and disaster. Of course all patriotic citizens, regardless of party, will wish for Mr. McKinley prosperity and happiness in his second term. '. It Is a most unusual honor that has been bestowed upon him. t He is the ninth man in the history of the government who has been elected the second time. He is a most amiable gentleman. Both for his own sake and the sake of the country all men whose good opinion is worth having hope that he will prove worthy of the high position wherein he is called. A Very Sorry Figure, In my judgment, of all men who have had much to say about the Philippine business the one who cuts the sorriest figure is Senator George Frisbie Hoar of Massachusetts.; He made a great speech against everything that McKin ley has done In that faraway and sin cursed laud, gave reasons which would convince any rational man that Mc Kinley ought to be defeated, and yet the papers say that he has been unusu ally active In the support of this same McKinley. If he had stood by that speech, he could have well afforded! to have been defeated for the senate, He would have gone into history as a great man. He can't unmake his speech, and It will remain forever as an amaz ing Indictment against the man he has helped re-elect president. There is no man in. America who has bettor use of the English j language than- Senator Hoar. As a lingual artist he has few peers, but the prospects are that he will pass Into history as a lingual art istmerely this and nothing more. This is not the first time that Senator Hpar has taken a fall out of the Republican party and then supported It. While he was a member of the house he was ap pointed one of the managers to prose cute Belknap for high crimes and mis demeanors. There was -a passage in his speech before the senate on that occasion which has never been excelled In polish or in force. Every boy in the land ought to study It as an example I of terse and vigorous English. It Is as follows: - '. ' . -rv" My own public life has been Ttry brief sni Insignificant one, extending little "btyond the du ration of a single term of senatorial office, but in that brief period 1 have seen five judges of a high court of the United States driven from office by threats of impeachment for corruption or malad ministration. I have heard the taunt from friend liest lips that when the United States presented herself in the east to take part with the civilised world in generous competition in the arts of life the only product of her institutions in which she surpassed, all others beyond question was her cor ruption. I have seen in the state of the Union foremost in power and wealth four judges of her courts impeached for corruption and the political administration of her chief city become a dis grace and a byword throughout the world. I i have seen the chairman of the committee on mili ' tary affairs in the house, now a distinguished 1 member of this court, . rise in his place and de ; mand the expulsion of four of his associate for making sale of their official privilege of selecting ; the youths to be educated at our great military school. When the greatest railroad of the world, ; binding together the -continent and uniting the two great seas which wash our shores, was finish- ed, I have seen our national triumph and exulta- tion turned to bitterness and shame by the unani mous reports of three committees of congress two of the house and one here that every step of that mighty enterprise had been taken in fraud. I . have heard in the highest places the shameless doctrine avowed by men grown old in public office that the true way by which power should be gained in .the republic is to bribe the people with the offices created for their service, and the true end for which it should be used, when grained, ia the promotion of selfish ambition and the gratifl . cation of personal revenge. 1 have heard that suspicion haunts the footsteps of trusted compan ions of the president. j "These things," says Mr. Hoar, "have passed into, history. The Tacitus or the Hallam, the Sismondi,or the Mac- , aulay, who writes the annals of our times must record them with his inex orable pen." w ' (Premature Predictions. Senator Pettigrew and other states ' men who are predicting the dissolution of the Democratic party are premature in their vaticinations. There is no prospect whatever of the Democratic party being dissolved. , ,The cardinal principles of Democracy are as endur ing as the eternal hills and will perish only with liberty itself. Men may come and men may go, but the Democratic party goes on forever. . It has outlived many parties and will outlive many more. Senator Pettigrew and his con freres may create a hew party, but the old Democratic party will be found do ing business at the old stand. One of the most pleasing results of j the recent election is the defeat of Sen j ator Wolcott of Colorado. For years ' he has been trying to cut the condemn ed caper of running with the hare and holding with the hounds. He has been a blatant silver man, yet has always supported the gold standard candi dates. Many equestrians have been skillful enough to ride two and even three horses going in the same direc tion, or peradventure four, but no man born of woman ever yet succeeded In riding two horses going in opposite di- rections, a feat which Wolcott essayed for many years. All candid and hon : est men will rejoice that he has come to grief. He is a man of many ac complishments handsome, rich, well groomed and eloquent but when com pared with his plain and honest col league, Henry M. Teller, he shows to a great disadvantage. Wolcott wanted to bolt, or pretended he did, long be fore Teller did. Teller clung to the Re publican party with filial affection as long as there was the faintest hope that it could be Induced to befriend silver, but the moment he was convinc ed that it was against silver he march ed resolutely out from among his old associates and took an unequivocal stand for f what he considered right, (He challenged the respect of all men, even of those who differed from him the most radically. For his reward he possesses the love and affection of the people of Colorado in a greater degree than any other man ever did, while his more brilliant colleague passes Into private life. McKinley may take him np and give him some foreign mission or place him in his cabinet, but this will only be a graceful way of letting him down. The probabilities are that he is done for politically. Outside the Breastworks, 's Among the Democrats who fell out side the breastworks is the Hon. John J. Lenta of the capital district of Ohio. He was defeated by the narrow margin of 14 votes. What a pity It is that he didn't get 15 more! The district has been very close ever since -General Outhwalte was defeated In 1894. Aft er a heroic, fight Lentz carried it In 1896 by something like 200. He In creased his majority to something near 700 In 189a The Republicans were ex ceedingly anxious ' to beat him, as he has been a sharp thorn in their sides ever since he has been in congress. By bravely, gallantly and stubbornly fight ing for Democratic principles he ren dered himself peculiarly obnoxious to; his political opponents. I have no doubt. If the truth could be ascertain-j ed, that H anna. Dick & Co. spent more money In Lentz's district than In any other congressional district In the Unit ed States. My prediction Is that Lentz's; disappearance from public life will be' only temporary, for be has a bushel of j brains In his head and a lion's heart tn his breast. That he may rise again and soar to greater ijelghta than ha has hitherto attained will be the sin cere and heartfelt prayer of good Dem ocrats everywhere, for the retirement of a man of such parts is a distinct loss to the public service. The older xeneration of great Ohio Democrats has about died out. This gives Lentz a splendid field for the exercise of hi? great talents. --During my service few if any better rough and tumble fighters have appeared on the floor of the house than John J. Lentz. He performed the remarkable and unusual feat of hang ing General Charles Henry Grosvenors hide on the fence, a performance which has been achieved by very few out of the very many who have tackled the grim old lion of Athens. Senator Carter Retired. " The Republican side In the senate suffers a considerable loss In the defeat of Hon. Thomas H. Carter of Montana. He is one of the most genial and com panionable men I ever knew. While not an orator in the technical sense of the term, he is a very forceful and en tertaining speaker. His ready wit stands him in good stead in many a hard fight He Is a practical states man arid is always busy as a bee. The story of his life equals in interest any tale In the "Arabian Nights" and il lustrates fully the possibilities open to a young man possessed of brains in this country. About 20 years ago he was a book agent up in Iowa .selling "The Footprints of Time." Since then he has been a member of the house, commissioner of the general land office, chairman of the Republican national committee and a senator of the United States, to say nothing of the divers smaller stations which he has held. He Is one of the most forceful leaders in his party. The probabilities are that President McKinley will provide for him handsomely, perhaps by giving him a cabinet portfolio, and few people who know Carter will begrudge him any fat position bestowed upon him by the president. Capers of Joe Sibley. Hon. Joseph C. Sibley has performed the unusual though not unprecedented caper of being elected to congress as a Republican in the same district from which he was elected two years ago &s a Democrat. In the eastern states men change their political affiliations with great facility and do not appear to lose caste by It, while in the west and south new converts have to begin at the foot of the class and spell up. I think that nobody in congress enter tained any rancor toward Sibley for his change of base, for he Is one of the most amiable of mortals and is persona grata to most of his acquaintances. In many respects ; he is an able, even a brilliant, man, but by reason of some constitutional or mental idiosyncrasy he seems incapable of entertaining any one set of political opinions for a great kngth of time. He started out a Cam eron Republican. He was one of the 306 who went down with Grant at Chi cago In the dog days of 1880. Then he became a radical Democrat, even a Populist. Finally he returns to his first love. That his first change was undoubtedly a matter of conscience is freely admitted on all sides. He cer tainly had nothing to gain by leaving the Republicans and joining the Demo crats in the state of Pennsylvania. He asserts that his going back to the Re publicans is also a matter of conscience, and I think very few of his fellow con gressmen ever attributed his last change of base to sordid motives. My own opinion Is that he missed a great career by going over to the Republic ans. I wouldn't be at all surprised to see him return to the Democrats be fore many years, perhaps before the end of the next congress. But, in what ever way he may align himself politi cally, most of those who have served with him In the house will wish for him happiness and prosperity. Mr. Bryan's Future. All Democrats and a great number of Republicans are wondering what will be the future of the Hon. William J. Bryan. That he is a man of vast ca pacity, perfect honesty and leonine courage, an orator of wondrous power is admitted by all whose opinions are worth consideration. His career has been phenomenal, even astounding. The history of his country cannot be written without giving him a high place and a wide space. Twice the nominee of a great party for the most exalted and powerful office under the sun, he Is only 40 years old, an age at which most men are Just beginning their public lives. It surely cannot be that his is ended. Such talents as his cannot be hidden In a napkin. He may never be president, but the chances are that he will be. There will be six more presidential elections before he reaches 65, which, by a sort of common con sent, has come to be the age limit on a president elected for. the first time. Whether he will be a candidate in 1904 no man can tell at this time not even he himself but those who are predict ing that he is dead have voluntarily as sumed the role of prophets premature ly. If he does not want to run In 1904, or If the circumstances at that time do not justify his , running, he ; may drop out for four, or eight or twelve years, or even sixteen or twenty, and still ; become presi dent of the United ; States. At 45 Andrew Jackson's name was scarcely known outside of the state of Tennes see, yet he lived to fill the world with his acclaim and to be twice president of the United States. Until his great debate with Dduglas, Lincoln was not even known over the whole of Illinois, yet he Is one of the immortals. Other instances might be cited, but whether he Is ever president or not he will for ever rank among the greatest Americans. IPr&ised by a From th Era Headlight, Grand Junction.
