WASHINGTON LETTER.
A Newsy Letter About the Last Happen
ings of the Special Session of the
U. S. Senate Beef Trust.
From our own Correspondent.
For ouce in the great flood of years
the Democrats have stood together
on the Santo Domingo treaty liight,
and .they have won. That old war
horse, Senator John T Morgan, of
Alabama, has pointed out more blow
holes in the treaty than can be found
in 'he armor plate of the Armor
Plate Trust. I pointed ont, in this
corresrendence, more than ayearngo
that there would be u attempt to
take over Sauto Domingo, or at least
enter into a treaty that would give
this country absolute jurisdiction
over the island, for the purpose of
collecting the debts of the creditors
of the island and negro republic.
A good many of these creditors reside
iu l he United States, and1 many of
them are high tip in Administra
tion circles. , They-bo'ught the bonds
of Sun to Domingo at a very luif price
on the dollar, aud if they can get
this ceuntry to take hold of -affairs
duwu there they can collect par for
them.-- that is the way toe Repub
licatis.do business, and that is thi
way hey puy election bets. That i s
the in l-l k iu the Santo Doiniiu.ro
cocounut. - -.
At its two session the Fifty-eighth
Congress had voted to spend $1,59'J-
651,289,99, w hich is more than was
appropriated in gold by any previous
Uimgress u our history, not except
ing the period of the Civil War.
Iu the short session just closed
few decent things were done. One
of the leuks in our liind laws was
st pped by abolishing the lieu land
privilege which has enabletl specula
tors to swindle the Government bv
exchanging wort less tract in forest
reserves tor valuble timber lauds
outside,
The Vosemite Vally has come
again under the coutrol of the United
States, having been le-ceded by the
btate ot California a valuable pre
cedent for the rescue of Niagara,
'revision has been made for im
proving the efliciency of the militia
by encouraging rille practice. J he
Government has been authonze.1 to
take part in the culebratioa of the
three hundredth anniversary of the
brat permanent .hngl.'SU settlement
on this continent, at Jamestown,
Virginia. For the first time since
the contract was made, seven years
ago, Congress has refused to make
the annuul appropriation of $i:i(),0QO
to pay rent to the National (Jity
Bank for the old Custom House site
in New York. This was one of the
scandalously bad bargains character
istic of the Government's dealings
with shrewd financiers. The Gov
ernment agreed to pay "rent" on its
own funds, incidentally cheating
the city of New York out of taxes.
But since-the bargain was made, the
rent will nlti'atev have to be paid
out of the people's pockets.
The average newspaper correspon
dent in Washington, who works at
the business for a lining, is a nianlv,
truthful, honest man. He rarely
sends out lies to his paper, 'or he
knows that a lie is a boomerang,
but some of the sctibblersi here in
Washington who are, employed as
private secretaries to members of
Congress, or clerks in some of the
departments, who do not know what
news is aud never get put to get news,
even if they did know it, are the
worst liars and scandal-mongers on
the face of the earth. They invaria
bly pick out a shining mark to shoot
their slime at, always some man who
is persona non grata to their editors,
thus currying flyor at home.
A favorite theme with them is
William R Hearst, and the suppo
sititious slathers of money be is al
ways spending for something or
other, iu order to prejudice people
who are easily prejudiced. In writ
ing about the iuaugnral parade here
is a sample lie: William Randolph
Hearst is said to have paid the high
est pi ice of any one for rooms and
front windows at the New Willard.
The sum paid was $2,000." This
from the Telegram, of Portland, Me.
When this lie reached Council liluITs,
Iowa, the Nonpareil raised the ante
to $2,500. 'The truth is, as could
easily have been ascertained if the
scandal-mongering papers were not
eager for soon stun:, that Kepresetita-
tive Hearst was not in Washington
at all oh InaugnratioQ day, as were
not many other Kepresentatives, both
Democratic . and Republican. He
did not even pay as much as twenty
cents .for any kind of a window to
view the parade' Mr I learnt has
lived at the New Willard for some
months during the session of Con
gress, faying the regular rate ' per
day for hit rooms as any offer guest
would pay; his rooms were encaged
by him until March 5, and at he was
to be absent on tne 4tn ot parcn, fie
permitted a personal friend to liave
the benefit of the view from his hotel
windows.
A source of great amusement to
the Democrats at the capital -baa
been the dilemma in which tho
pibhcans have found themselves over
the report or. tttimmssioner oi uorv
porations Garfield on the investiga
tion into the iveef Trust.
Commissioner Garfield has frabti-
cany vxuuentteu uie giKai-, fnKarip
of all the charge made against them.
For instance, it shows that Instead
of being a "close 'corporation" and
three or four men meeting and fixing
the price of cattle on the hoof and
of the dressed product, Swift A Co.,
doing a bosinexs of $200,000,000
year, have over- 6.000 stockholders.
Thnrt the .largest packing jronae
company in the world, with $35,000,
000 capital, and doing dnsiness on
a;niargi'i oi pr pent,, uu its nyesjisna Asncooro unrg vo.
or a prulit of $4,000,000 a year on
capital of $35,000,000, a return of
1 1 per cent to its 6,000 stockholders.
As Commissioner Garfield does not
find that anv of the packing com
panies have bveu overcapitalized, bnt
mat ail have visible assets well worth
their capital stock, to say nothing of
the value of "good will" and "trade
marks, this return does not seem to
be sufficiently excessive to justify the
charge of extortion. As Garfield
finds it, the big packers, by reason of
tne volume of business, take cattle
from the producer and give them to
the consumer at a profit of only 90
cents a head. This profit would not
enable a small butcher, killing a
few beeves a week, to live, but when
the busiuess runs up to over a mil
lion cattle a year it imke.s a respect
uble showing.
. - Where the Republicans ore in a
quandary is in this that Mr Garfield
is the son of the martyred President,
a staunch Republican, and a gentle
man of unquestioned integrity. He
is the bosuui friend of Roosevelt,
and was selected for the post of "In
quisitor ot Corporations because
the President had sublime confidence
in Ins honesty and incorruptibility;
consequently, when he reports, after
an investigation in which the re
sources of the Government, inelnd
ing the U. S. Treasury,- were placed
at his dispoal, that he finds no
"trust," but that the big packers are
doing business-on a margin which
any merchant would regard as ex
tremely meagre, the report must be
accepted or rejected by- his party.
If aoct'ptod, the so-called Beef Trust
must lie exonerated; if rejected, the
Presided t.'s friend and trusted agent
of I lie Guvertimeiit must bu charged
with lircouipelencv. .iutaer hoin of
the cilemnia is sullicieut to give the
Republicans u bad half hour.
What Roosevelt thinks of the sit
uation is not known, as he has made
no comment, publicly, at least; but
this much is cler, and tliat is that
Crarfiuld ii being groomed for the
Presidential nomination in 190H, iikid
the fact that Rooseveltcontiaues him
in his position and connteuunce bis
Presidential' aspirations is sufficient
proof ot Uie fact that President
Roosevelt is satisfied that, if there
was any "Beef Trust," or that the
great packers were miking excwsive
profits, Air Garfield- would have as
certained the same in the course of
his investigation, and that, ns he re
ported to the contrary, that report
is to be accepted by the President
and the people of the country as
until, it is up to the Kepublicaus
either fish, cut bait, or get out of the
boat.
Of couise, packers and cattleman
know that instead of 99 cents the
piolit is $:). Mr Garfield takes n.-
account, apparently, of the by-products
the glue from the hoofs rind
horns, the hair, tlu leather from the
hide, the beef tea extract, the fertil
izer, the profits on the refrigerator
curs, the railroad rebates, etc.

Snow in April. The Coldest Winter and
Dryest Summer.
Capt.'V I Everett, of Rocking-
hum, writes ns that'the year in which
snow fell on the 15th of April was
1849. In onr last issue we had 45
or '46 down as the year. The error
is ours, not our friend .Mr W V
McDonald a. for since receivinc Cunt
Everett's letter we recall that Mr
McDonald really said "between '45
and '60," he waWt sure. However,
the matter is profitable in that we
have learned the year. It,is also
profitable secause, Lapt Everett has
brushed np his memory - and . says
f u'ther in bis letter that "1845 was
the dry year" aad "the cold Satur
day night when chickens, faoze on
their roost was Feb 14th 1835.''

Modish Spring Millinery.
More interesting than that of

iiiure crowns are both in favor, and
uite the newest idea is the oblong

front to the back. The brim of
this hut is rolled at the sides and is
melon or oval shaped. This design
is pleasingly carried ont in the -plia-

Smooth straw braids are extcu

are seen in dressy headgear, and they
are adapted to the artistic shapes in
ogue. Amoug the modish colors
are blue, brown, lmtter ecru, chain
pugue and green. Brown and green
are associated in some of the most
attractive examples of the milliner's
art
Plumes of coti feathers are much
used, and they are in all the fash

favor, too, and fieiiuently two will

Breasts are a modish tramming ou

PUBLIC SCHOOL LAW.
The public school law remains
practically unchuuged in its maiu
essentials. The most important
ht i change recommended by the commit
tee, a provision lor live state district
summer schools for teachers, lit a
cost of $7,500 per annum, was de
feated. Another dejiui ture suggest
ed wus to make the holding of county
teachers' institutes by the county
boards of education compulsory.
This was ulso voted down, but the
recommendation that these summer
schools be held bi-eniiially instead
of annually was accepted, also that
the amonnt to be appropriated by
the couuty boards shall be from $200
to $250, as may be determined by
the state superintendent, instead of
200.
The new law allows the state
superintendent $1,000 a year iu lieu
of and in commutation for traveling
expenses, insteud ot ifoOO for travel
ing expenses and for additional
clerical assistance. The salaries
of the clerk to the state superinten
dent and the special clerk iu charge
of the loan fund arc increased from
$1,000 to $l,2fn, and that of the
teniigrapher from $500 to $000.
For every private examination
for teachers' certificates each appli
cant sliull pay in advance to tho
county supeiintendent a fee of $3.00.
1 bis tee was $1.0(1 in the old Iuw.
