Evidence of Republican Coo

In Quayiylvaaia
-
- Special Washington Letter. 3
T"?F anybody has any doubts that
J I ouguly f actionized, he ought to
J y have been present to hear the
bitter speeches made by Republic
ans about each other on the Cuban rec
iprocity bill.- In cold type they are bad
enough, but as they came hot and siz
zling from the lips and tongues of Re
publican orators they were worse.
Word, face, manner, gesture, all show
ed that they were in dead earnest, that
their differences are irreconcilable and
that they will go on getting wider and
wider 'apart until a permanent split
comes which will undoubtedly be a
great and glorious thing for the coun
try. Things have been said by Repub
lican leaders in open debate about each
ether which . can be neither forgotten
nor . forgiven, and, it ia reported that
these , hard things said in open house
are mild and complimentary when com
pared with the ; epithets which they
hurled at each other; in caucus. , Be
tween the Republican factions there is
war, eternal war.
Inconsistency.'
Republicans are always howling about
Richard Croker playing boss in New.
York. To hear them tell it, bosses are
known and tolerated only among Dem
ocrats. These Republican Pharisees
and hypocrites should consider the
truth contained in the old saying that
consistency is a jewel of great value.
In the Bible they are admonished to re
move the beam 4 from their own eyes
before they undertake to extract the
mote from the eyes of others. Our Re
publican friends would do well, before
they begin to remark upon bosses, to
turn their gaze upon George B. Cox of
Cincinnati, who has Just announced his
intention of changing the Cincinnati
delegation in congress in toto, and he
appears to be able to do so with the
same ease and expedition with which
other men change their shirts. "Coxie,
old boy," is a great Republican.
A Doubting Thomas.
Hon. Charles Emory Smith, late post
master general, having reascended the
tripod of the Philadelphia Press, ap
pears to be a sort of doubting Thomas.
Indeed he gives signs of falling from
grace In the Republican church, not to
say of committing leze majesty. He
actually has the gall to Insinuate that
the verdict In the Waller case will not
be accepted by some people, and the
Washington Post intimates that it is
highly probable that Charles Emory's
fear in that regard Is based on a rath
er sound foundation. Waller was tried
and acquitted for killing prisoners of
war notwithstanding the proof was
perfectly clear against him; so Charles
Emory and the Washington Post had
both better look a little out or they are
liable to be yanked up and tried for
treason for talking about humanity.
Unexpected Heat.
.Hon. Chauncey Mitchell Depew is as
mild a mannered man, as ever stirred
up a hornets' nest in the "most august
body on earth," but that is precisely
what Chauncey did not long since, very
much to his own surprise, no doubt.
He in his most suave manner proposed
some sort of modification of or substi
tute for Mr. Crumpacker's plan of
gouging the southern states out of their
representation, in whole or in part, on
the plea that they have suppressed the
negro. Senator Joe Blackburn and
others jumped Chauncey and wooled
him . vigorously, but he perpetrated a
fine mot about Dolliver's Ohio speech,
if Mr. Vandiver of Missouri is to be be
lieved. .
"I just -happened to fall in with Senator
Depew on the trip up town the other
day." observed Mr. Vandiver of Missouri,
who has a Joke on oleomargarine which
has not yet been perpetrated.
"The senator remarked to me something
Of his admiration for the speech of Sena
tor Dolltver of Iowa in favor of the anti
oleo bill. -
'Don't you think it remarkable, sena
tor,' I said, 'that so much humor and elo
quence as Mr. Dolllver displayed can be
invented on such a dry subject?'
" Ah, rejoined the senator, 'you must
remember that Mr.Dolliver was not talk
ing about the dry cow. "
Spreading.
Notwithstanding our performances in
the Philippines and England's perform-
m r tint In C! A fnlin - -w . r. 4
biivco xu owuiu aiuva, it, nycais luat,
the idea of "government of the people,
by the people and for the people" is
still spreading. A new republic is lia
ble to be born at any4 moment in Bel
. gium. The little kingdom is In turmoil,
2i.uu uui wi lue 11 a van mny cume u rep
resentative government. Old Leopold
was made king of the Belgians in the
first place by foreign governments, and
if they keep - their hands off the
chances are that he will soon join the
large if not goodly company of royal
vagabonds. The row grows out of the
question of suffrage. The people are
rlnmorinj? for manhood snffraire one
vote to one man Instead of the pres
ent arrangement whereby every man
bas one vote and some men have sev
eral . votes based on the quantity of
property they possess. So "Long live
the Belgian republicr - ,
Birds of a Feather.
There is an old saying, "Birds of a
feather flock together," which is find
ing al new Illustration In President
Roosevelt's appointments. Colonel
Roosevelt is a literary man himself, an
author of renown, and he takes kindly
to men of that class notwithstanding
eftteir
m m , i.
ed them all as "damned literary fel
lers." Bat Simon is dead, and we
have a -new regime. At last the vet
erans of, the civil war have won out in
their long fight on EL Clay Evans, and
he is to go-go, so it is said, to a high
er and better office, but go neverthe
less. In his stead the president nomi
nates Eugene Ware of Kansas, soldier,
lawyer, statesman and poet. It is not
recorded anywhere, I believe, that
Colonef Roosevelt hiaiself ever wrote
any poetry, though it is a ten to one
shot that he has done so, as hs has es
sayed about everything that Anybody
else has ever done. If he courted the
muse,, he has kept the matter to him
self, as a youthful indiscretion per
haps. At any rate he appointed a gen
uine poet pension commissioner. '. .. :
" It is also whispered that he is about
to appoint ex-Senator . J ohn ; M. Thur
ston of Nebraska as secretary "of the
interior, vice Hon. Ethan Allen Hitch
cock of Missouri, who Is slated to go.
Now, Thurston is a poet himself, a
thing which he probably regrets, for
on dit that certain amorous verses
which he wrote to "A Rose" helped
land him outside the senatorial breast
works, but Teddy appears to be deter
mined to have literary men about him.
Getting Sick. , v
The signs of the times indicate that
certain Democrats who ' in 1896 and
1000 followed President' McKinley into
the wilderness appear to be growing
sick of their company and are fixing to
return to the old Democratic house
hold. . We ' are ready , to welcome the
prodigals. There is no mourners bench
in the church Democratic. While we
are willing to receive them and will
not too closely inquire into their ante
cedents, they must not expect to have
the fatted calf killed for them and to
be presented with the plantation be
sides. ; The Philippine question is the
one on which a good many of them are
preparing to return to the Democratic
party. Others will find other ques
tions on which to get back into the
fold. That nearly all of them will one
way or another find excuse to break
away from their alliance is highly
probable, for if a man ever Is a Demo
crat once it is likely to break out on
him again at any moment. The latest
prodigal who shows symptoms of re
turning is Hon. Don M. Dickinson of
Michigan. Recently in speaking of the
Philippines he said: '
I have never felt that our government
was wrong in taking over the Philippines,
it remaining an open question whether we
should retain them. I have been strongly
opposed to hauling down the flag while
under fire, and I have, on the whole, sym
pathised with the administration in its
Philippine policy. .
But, at the same time,, I would rather
give up these islands." lose all they cost us,
lower the flag a thousand times and get
out of Porto Rico, Cuba and Hawaii than
to see our civil authorities note, our civil
authorities revive the sedition laws, the
like of which were so abhorred and so
hated and whose existence on our statute
books was so brief and so ruinous to
their authors in the administration' of
John Adams.
If this report be true, Ixlon't care what
the offense was, it were better for our
people and nation to haul down our flag
and leave the Philippines to the govern
ment of, say, the sultan of Sulu than to
permit the civil authorities to impose in
our name any such abominable relic of
bad despotism as this.
Now, that proves beyond all question
that Don Is getting ready to flop again,
this time back to the coop from which
he flew in 1890. Let him come. Every
little helps.
1 Still Unhappy.
Our esteemed contemporary the New
York World sagely and sententiously
remarks, "The first duty of a public
prosecutor is to prosecute"which Is a
dig at the erstwhile beloved Jerome
William Travers Jerome of whom a
marvelous enforcement of the law was
expected and predicted. And The World
was one of the prophets. Now it turns
out, according to The World, that Jer
ome either doesn't know how or is un
willing to prosecute in an atrocious
murder case. Jerome was the brightest
and most shining light in the galaxy of
stars in the Low combination before
the election. Then be was going to
smite crime hip and thigh and make it
odious. Now the reform press is hop
ping on to William Travers in a most
energetic, not to say brutal, manner.
"Man never Is, but always to be, blest."
On the Run.
When Matthew Stanley Quay runs
away from the machine and goes back
on machine candidates, things Repub
lican in the Keystone State are in a de
cidedly bad way, and that is precisely
what Matthew Stanley has done
while all the world wondered. For sev
eral months Mr. Attorney General El
kin has been an avowed candidate for
governor to succeed Governor W. A.
Stone, av ho organized the farfamed "hog
combine" while In congress. Next' to
Quay and Stone stood Elkitv in the ma
chine. Nineteen counties held conven
tions or primaries. Elktn carried sev
enteen of them, ns the machine candi
date, when suddenly and unexpected! j
is the proverbial clap of thunder out
of a clear sky came Quay's declaration
that as a delegate to the state conven
tion, to which position he has already
had himself elected, he could not sup
port General Elkin for governor, which
being interpreted means that the ma
chine" of which Elkin is part has gone
squarely back oh I him. Wherefore V
Because Senator Matthew Stanley Quay
is not a fool and bas euse enough to
,r' ...... '.
that Elkin's nomination would endan
ger the state ticket, give several con
gressmen to the Democrats and proba
bly elect enough Democrats to the leg
islature to elect a Democrat to succeed
Senator Boies Penrose all of which
Quay wishes to avoid. The only hope
he saw was to unload Elkin, which he
proceeded to do, so far as he could; but
there's the rub. Quay has learned by
this time of day that it's easier to start
Elkin to running than it is to stop him,
and Elkin, with seventeen counties out
of nineteen behind him, has raised Sen
ator Quay at his own game, refuses to
be choked off and has set up as a "peo
ple's candidate!" He sends forth a bold
defiance, which is now echoing through
the mountains and valleys of Quaysyl
vania. Quay undertook to throw El
kin to the whale as a tub, but Elkin
refuses to play tub. Evidently he will
have to be disciplined, and no doubt he
will be. The "power which gave him bis
seventeen counties out of nineteen will
now be dead against him, and he will
find it an uphill job from now on. Mi
rabile dictu! the Philadelphia paper
have changed base. The Press and
other anti-Quay organs are now indors ing
Quay, and The Inquirer, his steady
company, still supports Elkin as "the
people's candidate," denounces Quay's
bossism and in other ways shows that
it is hot through and through. It is a
pretty kettle of fish, and let us hope
that good may come out of it to Dem
ocrats and the country. r
Pub. Decs.
"It is strange to what an extent the
impression prevails that a representa
tive or senator can obtain and send
out, free of cost, any number of cop
ies, however great, of any public docu:
ment or book. It may save a great
many people a great deal of trouble
and worry to state the facts once more,
and they are as follows: Each repre
sentative and senator has a certain
quota, . usually twenty-six copies of
each book or document, free. If he
gets any more, he pays the government
for them a price fixed by the public
printer which insures the government
a profit. There is a great hullabaloo
every once In awhile about representa
tives and senators selling their quota
of books, seeds, etc., and pocketing the
proceeds. No doubt there are such
cases, but they are scarce as hens'
teeth, like angels visits few and far
between. And it would disgrace any
representative or senator known to do
such a thing. It much more frequent
ly happens that they go down into their
own pockets and buy books, etc., for
their constituents when called on for
them after their quotas are exhausted.
Of certain books, such as the blue
book, each representative is entitled to
only one copy.
He is entitled to thirty-one copies of
The Daily Congressional Record, In
which all speeches and proceedings are
printed free. If he gets any more, he
pays for them, and he pays for all his
own speeches printed in pamphlet form
at so much per .thousand, the price de
pending on the number of pages. If
one desires a large number of a certain
speech, it is considerably cheaper to
have them printed at a private print
ing office than at the government print
ing office notwithstanding the fact that
the government printing office has the
type already set up as it appeared in
The Congressional Record, wtiich proves
conclusively that the government makes
a good profit from printing speeches in
pamphlet form. .
Representatives and senators swap
documents, books, etc., occasionally, as
what is in great demand in one locality
Would be of no interest whatever In
another. For example, agricultural re
ports are a drug in New York "city,
while some other pub. doc. is in great
demand.
The foregoing remarks apply to the
seed question likewise. Each member
has a certain quota which he can dis
pose of as he pleases. If he hasn't
enough, he may be able to swap a part
of his books ,nnd documents to some
city member for more seed. Apropos
of seed the Washington Post says:
Representative Roberts of Massachu
setts yesterday received a poetical ac
knowledgment from a constituent In re
turn for a package of. seeds. Here is what
his grateful friend said in rhyme:
0 Roberts, Ernest Roberts, In D. C. far
away,
I've received from you a letter, or a pack
age, I should say.
And puzzled am I greatly to find out how
I may
Thank you for this favor which came
postpaid today!
Did you mistake my calling and, not
meaning any harm,
Think that I was toiling upon some back
woods farm
Where I needed seed for onions, for cu
cumbers and beans
And a good recipe for raising prime dan
delion greens?
1 wonder if you are obliged to send these
seeds by law
The seed for grape and rye and corn, the
first I ever saw.
If not, to do It would be a parliamentary
abuse;
Then send the kind of seed that would
raise them In the Juice.
True.
Mr. Patterson of Tennessee in a very
strong speech on the Cuban reciprocity
bill stated a great truth, which cannot
be too often reiterated, when he said,
"Nobody but demagogues war on
wealth." That is the Democratic posi
tion and always has been, yet in 18iH5
and 1900 we lost thousands of votes be
cause subsidized liars in Republican
editorial sanctums and upon the stump
made people believe that we were
making war on wealth. What we were
really doing was making war on an
nnjust system of Jaws ; which , enables
a few to pile up wealth at the expense
of the many, so that, while Mr.. Patter
son's statement is trite, it cannot be
too often repeated or two greatly em
phasized. It is a great truth.
