WASHINGTON LETTER
From our Re uUr Correspondent.
New life has been inje!ted
into the Democratic cam-
Daiicn by tbe recent able
speech of Senator Culberson
made in New Yoi k and which
prominent Democrats believe
may prove the beginning of
a move which will make thou
sands of votes for Parker and
Davis. Mr. Culberson, ad-
dresaing a large and enthusi
astic audience, rade pnhlica
letter addresseed by the Pres
dnt to Dr. Albert Shaw, iu
which bedeclared (under date
of Oct. 10, 1903.) that ho
would be "delighted" were
a n a m a an independent
State, would be delighted if
she would at that moment
make herself one, and adds
that only because to do to
would be to instigate a re
volt does be refrain from so
expressing , himself publicly
Mr. Culberson also read a let
rom Secretary Hay inform
ing the Colombian Charged
Affaires, on January 21 1903
that the "reasonable . time"
allowed the President for the
completion of the canal nego
tiatioos bad expired, and a-
lomr with it an extract from
the - President's message of
Jan. 4. 1904rsaying that the
question of a reasonable time
had not entered into the ca
nal negotiations.
It is hoped by Demorrats
liere thatSenator Culberson's
launching of the Panama iR-
sue mav rcfuic in arousum
much enthusiasm between
now and election day. The
Senator vehemently condemn
ed the action of the adminis
tration in recognizina the Re
public of Panama and,. in ne
gotiating with the new-Re
public a treaty for the con
struction of the canal, rieclar
me that tney were inegHi
. 1 . 1
wrongful and discreditable
acts. It is believed 1 that the
Panama issue will prove more
popular than th? Philippines
issue to which such impetus
was given by Judge Parker
n.bis last speech at Esopus
althouuh attacks on the, ad
ministration's conduct o
Philippine affairs will not be
abandoned.: In the opinion
of a few- Democrats the Phil
ippines iseue is the stronger.
They urge tbaicondemnation
of the treaty with Panama
must reflect ton the sixteen
out of thirty three Democrat
ic Senators who voted for the
ratification of the Pahami
treaty. Those who oppose
this view, however, maintain
that those Deuiocruts who
vofdlor ratifl'-ation did so
only as a matter of expedi'n
cy and not becnuMe.the.r ap
proved of its negotiations
nor of the part played by the
U. S. in the events lending up
to, the negotiation of that
treaty. : v

mos but as this is a hardship
to tbe men so exiled and us
tbe climate is trying, it is the
purposeoftheadministratipn
to relieve those on duty there
at comparatively frequent in
tervals. The expense of such
change is, of course, consider
able, but economy is not one
of the virtues of tbe present
administration.
The President has npprov
ed the formal invitation to
be extended to all those pow
eJs which participated in the
previous peace conference at
The ., Hague, ,to reassemble
there as soon as possible to
consider the subjsect deferred
at the last session, for snbs'e
quent action. Some new sub
jects will doubtless be intro
duced nnd it is possible that
some effective work will be ac
complished., Critics of tbead
ministration are watching
with interest to see whatsort
of a reception these invita
tions, extended at a time
when two of the nations invi
ted are at war, will be accord
ed. There is keen suspicion
in some quarters that the
President's desire no longer
to delay this invitation is
prompted by political mo
tives and with a view to dis
sipating tbe charge that he
is fonder of the "big stick"
than of peace, and those who
hold this view look to see
the U. S. snubbed, for; its
pains. Certain officials of the
administration a ss u rathe
newspapermen that they've
a renson, however, to expect
a cordial reception for the in
vitntions extended and it is
impossible to make any
definite forecast as to out
come.
A prominent repsentative
ol the administration has ta
ken your, correspondent to
task for, having referred
to , Russia's receipts of the
Kinsineff petition, or rather
refusal to receive it as a snub
to the President. .The rather
inirenius argument offered in
refutation of tbe daim that
this country was snubbed is
as follows: "Tbe President
knew perfectly well that Rus
ia would refuse to receive
the Kinsineff petition when he
forwarded it to St. Peters
burg but be was sure that i
he sent it to our Ambassador
there with a polite requeet
for iniormation as to wheth
er or not it would he reeeiv
ed. tbe Russian authorities
would be obliged to examine
its contents before they con Id
dpclinw to receive it. There
fore 1 be President had ac-
'omplisbtd his object when
the petition was returned."
Probably only an apologist
f r the President would offer
u h an explanation, or for a
moment entertain the idea
that Rutin's refusul to re
ceive me petition was any
lessi h snub to the U. S. be
cause the itussiati uutnori
ties were compelled first to
mid the contents ff the pe
li'ion.

The Joy of Woiklng.
It is better to lose health
ike a spendthrift than to
wnsteitlike a miser. It ii
belter to live and be done
with it, than to die daily in
the sick room. By all means
begin your folio; even if the
doctor does not give you a
year, even if he hesitates a-
oout a month, make one
irave push and see what can
tie accomplished in a week. It
is not only in finished under
takings that we ought to
honor useful labor. A spirit
uoesont of a man who means
execution, which outlives tbe
most untimely ending. Ail
who have meant good work
with their whole hearts, have
done good work although
they may die before they
bare tune to sign it. Every
heart that has beat strong
and cheerfully has lelt a hope
fill impulse behind it in the
world, and bettered the tra
Jitions of mankind. Robert
