WASHINGTON LETTER
Prom jar Regular Csirespoadeat.
Offli inldorn in this city hon
been entirely occupied this
week with the mortal illnes
death and funeral 'or Post
11
and'eeremonious honors were
paid hun yefterdiy at the
Episcopal church of which he
was a member. It bad been
announced that a. military
escort would be furnished for
the occasion, but sharp criti
cism caused that display to
be countermanded. Ail verse
remarks are still made, howi
ever, over the tact that "of
ficers of the army, navy, and
marine corps on duty in this
cit v have been ordered to at
tend in full naif nn." Why?
He was not n member of ei
ther, and had never been af-j
filiated with either in any
way, being a dry goods clerk
during the war innend of go
ing to the .front. Of course
the censure which wnsvisited
upon the Postmaster Gener
al on account of the mistakes
he made about Bristow and
hot air!' is now properly
withheld. It seems however
as if the administration had
made its customary mistake
in accepting a magnificently
equipped special train "ten
dered free" by the Pennsylva
nia and the Chicago Milwau
kee & St. Paul railroads for
Mm ne' of members of the
CHttinet and other officialsat
ipnrtinsr this funeral. Why
nhould not the government
or the passengers pay for
such transportation instead'
of having thendminiHrntion
in power placed under renew
ed obligations to these giant
corporations? The Postmas-ter-aenei
nl was in his person
nl relations a cordial and a
greeable man.
Pr. Uorlos Pellegrini, for
merly president of Argentine
republic, is visiting this city.
He is a lenrned and nicotic
piisherj gentlftnan and has
taken up certain reforms in
his native land. He is exam
ining the labor problem as
it exists with us nndiscollect
ing data on which to base a
nroiect lor settling the trou
bles "that arise in Buenos
4vres' I called on him ye-
terday. He said "I have
made a ftndy.of this ques
tion in England and else
where in Europe, nnd I am
here lor the purpos3 of com
pleting n b:isis for my eonelu
Hious. It seems to me uici
before there can be real pence
between employers and labor
. . 4. I ..
era, tne lanorers musi or-
com1 financially respneilde.
Mv idea is that instead of or
gnnizmg unions they should
organize industrial compa
nies, and have thm incorpo
rated like other incopo'a-
tions. and endowed by their
creators with a specific a-
mount o f ni o n e. This
would make them responsi
ble before the law, bo that
thev could oh compelled to
ken their - contracts. 1 Ins
seems chimerical to s-nnel e
rniise a maiorit.v of work
rerTba ve no money to invent
m the sto k of such a corpo
ration: but, after nil, there is
a respectable min o r i t y of
t1Jl ,
they live in, and who should
be willing to incorporate
themselrps for the purpose of
obtaining pence. 1 am going
to see what Mr. Samuel Gom
pers, President of voutFedei
ation of Lnbor, thinks about
it.
I went over to Mr. Gom
pet's office in the Federation
Building opposite the pen
sion Office, fie was not in,
but I toutid Mr. Morrison, the
vigorous and efficient scre
tary of Federation. "I do
not sec' he said, ' how Presi
dent Pellegrini's scherrre
would profit us.;' 1 am sure
ah will try to induce hi in not
to put it in operation in Ar
gentina. Workingmen do.nnt
need, though cm pi o y e r a
might, that kind of protec
tion, They have no money
to invest in such ma hinery,
which would generally be us
ed against them. If work
men are not satisfied with
their wages, they can ntrike:
that is very simple." "But it
is expensive for every-body,''
f ventured to remind him.
'Yoft," he said, "but probab
ly' not so expensive as a cor
poration would be that the
courts would n-e for our sup
pression,"
All b-it two of th houses
opposite the Senate chamber
in this city owned by chair
man Babcock f the Ripnbli
can Congressional Commit
tee, tire rehted. It is feared by
bis friends here that he may
have to rely on them "for an
come after the 4th cf March,
for La Follette is after him
with great agility nnd hurl
ing at him chunks of his own
speeches. In 1901 Bab.ock
wrote ?Aft.er we have built
so well nnd manv of the in
fant industries Imve become
giants such as the world has
never known, shall we con
t.nne a tariff on articles that.
yi Id no revenue, need no pro
tection, and. like the prod
ucts of our farms, ore artic
les of export? How can such
a policv be defended? If Con
gress maintains a tariff on
such articles the whole theo
ry of protection falls to the
ground." It is su' h careless
ly spoken truths asthis that
Mr. Babcock finJs it extreme
ly difficult to answei or with
draw. .y
The Secretary of the De
partment of Commerce and
Labor says that the persons
arrested for the hideous
crime of loading with iron
the cork blocks for life pre
servers will be tri d for a "fe
loneoiis attempt toevndethe
laws of the United States."
Such a trial seems like mock
erv. If the prisoners were con
victeil they, could only be
punished by a slight fine. If
there is no law. state or na
tional, for ihettdeqtiate pun
ishment of miscreants who
imperil homun life in c a s e s
like this, and the wreiduug of
railroad trains! nnd the t
tempt to destroy the ('on'
necticut, it is high time -such
law were enacted. Men
have been l.vn hed for lesser
i crimes, The unfortunate pass
engeis of the Slocum or oth
er vessels who sMik coilaps
ing these treacherous bags of
bags of iron were, as truly
murdered as if I hey had tiwnj

Here is the , way that Mr.
Boydep figures out the condi
tions in the E ghth distric;
"Throw out," sayshe,."Mi-
counties of Alexander, Al'"
ghany and Caldwell. Now
give to Blackburn the follow
ing majorities:
Watauga ')') j
Ashe 4.J0.
Surry 0tl'
Wilkes .....1 oU0,
Totn'.. 2,700
"That is giving him every
thing that he can possibly
get.
"Thervgive the Democrats
the following:
Rowan.. 1,700
Iredell... 1,000
Cabarrus 500
Stanley ,. 000
Total 3.800
"Which shows a'Nelfltid
majority in the district of
1,100 votes, These figures
will probably be exceeded
when the votes are counted.
Good vvork can reasonhblv
be expected to cut down the
estimated majorities' given
to Dlackbnrn especially in
A'he and Wilk-s and to in-
crease thine in the Dmiocrat
ic comities named., In addi
tion tha three close counties
of Alleghany, Caldwell and
Alexander may be expected
to return-Newland mnjori
ties, It is all over except the
estimating on the figures.".
"In Rowan," savs Mr. Boy
den, "the warty isiioinghard
.and effective work. Clubs are
forming in every precinct and
the county is being organized
and a poll taken by school
districts." . '
Mr. Hoyden who is widely
known as one of the wisest
and most conservative of po
litical estimators, declined to
give figures as to Rowan but
the fact is that he, llxes th"
Newland rnajoritT, at 1.700
in making his calculation on
the district is significant. He
strongly intimates also that
the majority will in his opin
ion exceed that figure, As the
result in the Eighth has all
along ben considered t o
hinge on the majority of Row
an ii rid the Repuobean vote
in Wilkes it Peing recogniz
ed thai not over 1.500 in the
former county would assure
Newlatid's election, the fig
ures of Mr. Boydm are of
