WASHINGTON LETTER.
Fron our Regular, CMrrrpondeslt.
There isevry eyjrlenPt? that
the Hon. Mark Hnnna will
carry the sobriquet "Subsi
dy Banna" 'during; the rest
of his political career, Only
twice during the Fitty-Sev-enth
Congress has the junior
Senator from Ohio made n
speech in the Senate, once
w hpn h vigorously admen
ted the ship subsidy bill nnd
once this wek when he rowe
up to support n bill which
granted a subRi.Jy estimated
nt $7,000,000 to the Pnnn
sylvania Railroad Company.
This bill, which provides for
a uuion railway .si a Hon in
Washington, grantH to the
co'npanj named funds and
ctjncessions which the nttor
neyso'the rompan.r them
selves admit to be w orth $4 ,
700,000.' The whole history
of Congressional legislation
in which the company mimed
has been interested is of the
most unsavory character but
this bill is t he most infamous
of all the measures so far
passed and the circumstanc
es which attended the pas
sage are. to say the least, fie
cnliar. On Wednesday even
ing there was manifest a very
general determination to re
turn the bill to the commit
tee -which framed it and a
vote at that time would have
undoubtedly so resulted but
the friends of the bill secured
the postponement of the vote
until Thursday. What bap
pened in the interim I can
not ascertain but on Thurs
day morning, nt an hour
when ordinarily but few Sen
ators are present, practically
all were in their sf-nts nnd by
an almost straight party
rote the bill was passed. Sen
ator Hanshrough, who had
warmly urged tne adoption
of a substitute which provi
ded for municipal ownership
of the depot, voted against
the measure. After the vote
was taken it was everywhere
remarked that Senator Han
na was,regaining his former
leadership, d'hile the Depart
ment of Jnstico is proceeding

opportunity far the Presi
dent to exrcise his power of
veto to the great embarnss

have "Subsidy Hnnna" to
thank.
The Philippine debate is
not yet oont-lnded but "Sena
tor Dubois has agreed that,
beginning now, the democrat
ic Senators will be. prepared
to speak continuously until
tho discussion is closed. Sena
tor Spoonrr will spenk for the
republicans nnd Senator
Lodge will probably sum up.
Senator Dubois told rae yes
terday that he thought the
vote would be cast the last
of this week.
It is with no little enjoy,
ment that the democrats
view r be present discomfeit
nre of their opponents. The
republicans are facing a seri
ous division of opinion in
their own ranks and which
faction will win no one can
definitely predict. The oppo
nents of Cuban reciprocity
are determined that the Isth
mian canal bill shall take
precedence over the former
measure when the Philippine
bill is disposed of. Senator
Piatt, manager of the. Cuban
bill, is not yet sufficiently
sure of ihe support which a
straight reciprocity billwonld
secure in the Senate to urge
its immediate consideration
and he appreciates that if he
reports the bill ns passed by
the House, .wbiie it. will re
ceive the nnaimouB support
of the democrats, the friend
ship of the Sugar Trust would
be forfeited. The only way
out of the dilemma would be
adjournment as soon as the
Philippine hill and and the
two remaining appropria
tion bill are passed but the
obstacle to that c o u r s e ,
which is being considered, is
the publicly announced inten
tion of the President to call
an extra session in case Con
gress adjourned without act
ing & the Cuban bill. View
ed from any standpoint it is
a serious dilemma and the re
publicans are facing it with
a bad era pp. If the President
will yield almost immediate
adjournment will follow. If
a sufficieut number of "hept
sugar Senator" can be whip
ped into line, the Cuban bill
will be passed and there will
benoennnl legislation, but
the tear is that the canal bill
will hav to be taken up and.
that would mean the post
ponenien t of adjourn ment for
many weeks.
Tomorrow or the next
night the republicans of the
Hjnse expect to "all a can
ens to consider the advisnbil
ity of passing the Fowler cur
rency and banking bill. There
is no hope that Ihe bill will
be passed or even considered
at this session bv the Senate
Many wonder why it is that
pin worms nnd stomach worms
get into little children, or how a
tape worm 300 feet long can get
in and exist and graw inside of a
man, aR it sometimes happens,
They m ly well wonder, for it, in
a great mystery, However, ma
ny know now by experience that
Mother's Worm Syrup wil rid one
of intestinal worms and greatly
improve the health alter Ihe
worm ore ex pilled and destroy
ed. It in absolutely a harmle'sH
remedy to take, nnd ns it. only
crs ts 5 cents, all should try it
who suspect worms to be the
cuube of their ill health.
nnd there is little likelihood
that that the Sennte will
pass it at the next session,
but it is the belief of the lea
ders of the House that it will
draw" the democrats in the
fall campaign and it is with
the intention of stirring up
the advocates of free, silver
that the lenders wish to pass
the measure. The bill pro
vides for the retirement ol the

Land the conveyance to the
national banks of almost un

cans are seriously opposed to
its passage ns they believe it
would be another instance of
he sacrifi'-e ol their interests
to the general good of t h e
part r nnd they consider thfjt
they have already been seri
ously injured by I he absolute
rejection of tariff revision.

The House spent all last
week considering the Naval
appropriation bill which pass
ed on Saturday. The debate
at times was most spirited
and amusing. Representative
Williams, of Mississippi, read
the House some dogerel con
cerningthe appointment of
Crowenshield to the Europe

with the lines:

shouts of hiughter. At times

nious passages ensued.

Old Glory Hauled Sown.
News and Observer, v
' Of all the silly appeals ton
sickly sentimentality about
the flag, the sorriest has been
the Bophoincric 'declarations
that "where the 'American
flag is once raised it shall nev
er come down..' - And yet, in
the presence ol patriotic A
mericans, by direction of
President Uoosvelt and the
unanimous voice of C ongress
the Amcrfcan flag was pulled
down in Cuba "the gem of
the Antilles." It was done
with the approval of the A-
meriean people and their
good wishes for 'the Di ospsri
tyand glory of the Cuban
Upnblh. The flag is doing
its divinely appointed work
where it is helping to make
Republics. A few days ago
when the conference report
on the Cuban Diplomatic bill
was pending in the Senate,
this debate" took place us re
ported in the Washington
Post:
"Mr. Hoar, of. Massachu
setts, enquired what title was
given to the Cuban govern
ment in the bill.
"The republic of Cuba," re
plipd Mr. Cullom.
"And is the American flag
to be tnken down from the
island?' enquired Mr. Honr.
"I suppose so, of course,"
responded Mr. Cullom.
"I thought we had been
told," facetiously remarked
the Senator, "that wh'en the
American flag had once been
rnised overterritoryit would
always stay there." '
Who will sny that. Mr.
Roosevelt nnd the members
of Congress, who authorized
the hauling down of Old Glo
ry' in Cuba are traitors to
their country and enemies of
the flag? They were never
truer friends of the creed of
the flag than when it came
down from Moro Castle to
make wav for the flag of the
Cunan Republic. And the
men who advocate pursuing
the same course in the Philip
pines that has marked our
course in Cuba are just as
true to Old Glory snd to A-
merican ideals and to Amen
can traditions. It is the men
who deny liberty to the Fili
pinos who are untrue to tb
teachings of the flag.

The hardest thing to estaV
lish and the hardest thing
to break down after it is es
tablished is a newspaper. It
can live longer after it is
hroke, can subsist for a grea
ter period on the fat of its in
testines and by sucking its
paw than a bear or any hu
man institution. And when
a paper becomes great and
bpgins to pay it beats the
world as a money maker.
Witness the case of the Phil
adelphia Record which was
recently sold for f 3,140,000.
It is safe to say that it pays
quite 0 percent, net upon
this sum or it would not have
brought it. It isfurther safe
to say not more than $1,
000,000 of rbis amount can
be found in its real estate,
