WASHINGTON LETTER, ffjna jir Rjjali. fjsrw jponleat. Imitation is the merest flat tery. Remembeiing that A brahjtu Lincoln was on the south Balcony of the Whit House when he received the announcement of his notuinji 1 1 o n Pienident Roosevelt waked out upon the fojith balcouy to receive the news of his nomination at Chica go as the tenth successor of the diHtinguinhed roil split ter. ; There his most intimate friends found hin( clothed and in his right mind. When Ave minutes later newspaper men crowded around hitu he paid: "Now boys, rememheri thai this is Executive Shshioii," meaning of course that the natural and reasonable ex hilerations of the occasion were, not to be too literally repotted. Thereupon bequite Itiiduside the little show of dignity which he has some" times tound it expedient to assume, gave and to )k bai ter and badinage, arid be came for a short time a boy am one the boys. Whatever else may be said about the President, it is conceded that he is a natural man with no trivial affectations. He was much gratified at the assure ance that it was the first time in the country's history when candidates for Presi dent and vice president re ceived every vote of a . nomi nating convention. ! ? I called yesterday on (Con gressman Cowherd, running the Democratic Nationul Cam paign from the Rigs House, to heur. what, he hmd to" say about the Republican plat form. " What h's become of the party's courage?" he ask ed.. On some of the greatest questions its tongue is paral ized. Inn't the labor question conspicuously before theeoun try? The platform shysnot a word about it. : What is go ing to be done with the Phil ippines? The Republican-plat forra does not list a syllable? Has , the tariff censed to be an issue?Theplatformmakes no promise about it except that it will be diminished or increased whenever its politi cal guardians thinks fit. Of the gross post office corrup tions it merely says o'.ir ad ministration of the great de partinents of thegovernment has been honest." The sub ject of statehood is not men tioned in the platform, .al though four, Inchoate states with a million and a half pop nlation are knocking at, the door." Is that an attractive platform?'' The forty' Filipinos have come and gone. : They, have been hailed and lunched by the President, effusively gree ted by his subordinates, lilt ed to the top of the monu ment and carried through the public buildings, and have hastened on! to other cities. I inquired his impres sions from Major-'General Birney, son" of that Jaiiien 0. Birney who made the ffe soil run for President in 1844 and only survivor of four brOttiers who fought in the Union army. He said "Ther look d j ust about like the name number of intelligent persons from our states on an pxcnrh'jon to the capita' for pleasure and instnictioti. If they are representatives of their pedple, we owe. more respect to the Filipinos than we have yet shown. If the President ol the Fair at St.. Louis would deviWn plan to in ke pu r Deo pie ' a rq u a i n tod with these men instead of ex hibiting a lot of savage Igor rotes at the Pike, he would acquire mn h merit, A score of Digger Indians caught in the Band Lands of the West would represent our native population as well as those Igorrotes represent the Filip mos." I asked: "what do you think of their sppeohe?" "They were respectable," he said, ' but not. remarkable for originality or force. Thev were about what, would be expected of guests whose bills were paid by their en teitaiuers and who would naturally avoid unpleasant topics. They wers as polite as Spaniards," "Don't you suppose their reports will do good 10 the archipelago?" 1 asked "Per hups by .giving the. people their more definite ideas of the. extent, power, wealth, and industrial resources of this country. L don't know that the reports will make them more friendly to . us. They don't fight us as they did.! Chains don't hurt so much when they are worn smooth, : But no subjugated nation loves its masters, The Boers and Hindoos do not love the British; nor do the Finns love the Russians, or the Filipinos the Americans. Waiships an i rapid fire guns maintain whutiscalled peace No Filipino rebels unless he has made his will, but the spirit of independence is there and would blaze up if a fa vorable occasion offered Without battleships and Gat lings they aro helpless; but if a powerlul nation should oN fer thorn such facilities of de fence and offence, i, think they would raise rebellion from the north end of Luzon to the southern corner of the Sulu possesions. If Japan, for instance, shall be victori ous over, Russia, what will be likely to happen? 1 don't know; but it ia a question worth thinking about, while we.are execrating Russia and calling down enrses on the head of the Czar." Cortelyou's Department of Commerce and Labor is try ing hard, to find out which of its officials are directly re sponsible for the General Slo cum holocaust in the East River, There is no disguis ing the fact that the blameis upon some of Cortelyou's in spectors. But when they are punished, if su-h contamina tion can be hoped for, some bhme.will still rest upon Congress itself, The most astounding revelations in connection with it is the pro vision of law wjiich pays in spectors according to the number of stfamboats they are able to certify to having examined in a year! Of course this is a direct incentive to carelessness and utfer reck lesxncHs.It offers a premi nm for p- rjnrv and a oriz for nctrl-t' sf "-'in y "lm U r this law inspectors who do not inspect are paid three times fis mui h as those who do,, on the sole condition that they are ready and ex pert , liars. -What kind of Congressman were they who enacted such a la w? At the beginning of the school vacation this , week a murmur goes through the city protesting ngninst such it Bhort school year. Allow ing for holidays, national and optional, school is held only about one-half of the days in the year. At this there is an indignant remon strance rising. It is felt that children have their feet in the ro.id altogether too much and that .the sympathy of o verworkd student has been altogether over d o n e. No other . working people in The world have so many holidays in the year with pay as the school-1 e a c h e r s and it is strongly felt that the child ren are running too much and studying too liltle. A revolution in this matter is at hand. M. B..

Married couples in Norway !i re privileged to travel at The Shoe on the Other Foot. Atlanta Constitution, III the stress and storm of the two last presidential cam paigns, 'republican organs and political spell-binders made much use as an argu mentative piece de resistance of the suggestion that, irre spective of issu 's, Mr. Br.i a 11, should be defeated be cause of thecharncterofsome of I he support ho received. Developing this suggestion the long haired populists of the western states, the ex ploitersof various isms sane or insane add the "cranks" of all descriptions were fca rured ns be'ng trul.v repre sentntive of the character of the democratic army; and so peinistently were the charges rung upon this alleged argu ment that thousands of tim id voters in the close stutes were, on this account alone, induepd to support the repub Mean nominees. How will it be in this years campaign? , This year it is Uooaevelr who is the ideal of theeranks anil will receive their sup port. Thecenainty that the democratic nominee will be a conservative is not relished by that class of hovtlers who would overturn tbeestablish ed order in a day, a n d to whom spectacularities make its strongest appeal. Already we find such eminent relics ol the old populism as Marion Butler and IVffer in the front ranks ot the Rooseveltinn ad mirers; Pettigrew is going as of delegate to the St. Louis convention, but. with open threats of bolting in case the conservative element c o n trols, and the lesser lights of the populistic, socialistic, an archistie hojts are linin up in support of the republican pr ty almost to a man. The Mormon church has been swung into line by that emiint leader of Utah Re" pnblicanism, Reed Smoot. The open Advocates ond de fenders of poJigHinVi as well as the less frank, or more ti mid who deny the existence of the 'sacred institution," are one in their enthusiasm oyer the prrphet of the anLti race suicide propaganda. And now.; comes Dowie Elijah Second of Zion City to raise his voice in the cho rus of acclaim. The first nci of this bowlegged and shite whiskered captain genei.! of the army of cranks upon bis return to America is to land Roosevelt as the greatest living fecnlar ruler and mon arch, and to decree that his followers line up in the re publican army. The sprint ing, stunts that Elijah wns put to in Australia and in London a-ted asconnterirri ant upon the piopher, who returns to the land of his soe rial graft shouting hosannas for the man most after his own heart-Roosevelt. One and all the men of the Srnoot Butler Dowie utripe will be found shouting for Roosevelt as the campaign progresses. What, then will the, republican spellbinders do with the star arguments of 1890 and .1900? Forget them, of course. No man has as fonvrnirviily Khort a meni ory tix yon j", 'OuhJaV; h stxll- binder. , But will t he people forget those arguments?
