WASHINGTON LETTER. Prom jar Hegal ir C&rreapoadenf. Oive more th BigStnk is in evidence". The Secretaries of Wai and Srate have tioth taken it upon themselves to a niio 11 nee tt Panama that they will tolerate no revolu lions 'nor election distnrb ance wlii' h might hinder the work of the canal. It might ' he took jocose, as wh s iy in Laredo,'' wre Putiaina to re ply that she thought she would have tune to engineer several revolutions and elec tions before the United States started building the canal Hut of course the work of Ca nal diirsriiur is? "constructive Iy" proceeding even though the actual construction is not bt'irgdone. This is some thinir after the fashion in which Congress can vote it self renl niilense on the strength of a constructive re cess. Anyhow Goyernor Ma iroon has henn notified that the United States is ready to step in at any stageof the proceeding and spank Puna ma into line if r-hc does n o t hehave and hold her coming election peaceably. The sit u- frttiou is interesting. It wi lit Ipast show whether a pea aide election can he 1 III South America. Some people hold that it cannot, nut there is no real evidence a irainst it except the lack of precedent. Possibly with the United States standing by a policeman, the vote will be deposited in absolute quiet It recalls a little incident in Washington someyearsback alien the Associated Press received a dispatch one after noon saying that a revolu lion had broken out in Ar ireniinia. One of the enerfcet ic vounir men of the A. P. was sent up to lle Legation to know if the Minister could udd anvthing to the rathei meagre dispatch. The minis ter read the missive, looked nuzzled and said politely: 'Tt is n; tn all pews. I L-niiiu fit no I' evolution. 1 have heard nothing."

It is ze annual . . . tt - 1 . .. fl.vUf n I election Ly uiwujh unui Z" election." More of more or less harm less buncombe is behg ex nloited over the l ate bill. The Spoonernmendment has been offered to cut down le gal delays and Senator Me (lumber has come to t n e front with an amendment to put both fines and imprison ment into the bill for the pun pdiment of rebating. Both of these provisions are very sal utarv. Ibat is they would !c go)d things if Ihe.v ever could be made to work, bot h nrovisions are said to have the endorsement ol 1 lie rien ident, which they doubtless IVfllllll have. But there is a fine photolithographic pic tare banging now in ttie na timial ar t gallery ol a trust mnirnate umlergoing h jail sentence, and thechances ap that the Spooncr Aaien-U mPiit, will cot get into I he H in" . nal bill.nnd if!tdo?s that it This ninendmnt is to the effect that where the rate des ignated by the Interstate Commerce Commission ;is brought before the courts, the railroads shall pay into the courts the difference be. Iween the ruteromplained of and the rate actually charg ed with six percent interest for the detention ot the nion ej'aud in case the decision goes against the railroad, the whole amount shall be paid to the shipper so that he will not be a sufferer by the prolongfng of litignlion. This of course would be an incentive to the r.mipunies to get through with any le gitimate appeal as soon as possible. There is nnothet provision that if the difference in rate is paid back to the shipper, it shall go to the actual ship P 'r of the goods It is a com inon practice in f irming for the pi i -e of grain paid by an elevater compony to tie bus ed on the freight rate to some central point. In a case like this, wh're them 'was a repayment, by a railroad, the iifference in freight elnrgc would go to the farmer so that he would be the gain-r and not the elevator compa ny that was holding t h grain. The proposal lor a jail sen fence on rebaters is very fierce and drastic on the face of it. There is provisions for a fine amounting to three times the amount of the rabates paid and n jail sen tence of not less thanonenor mortthan five years. Kyi- dentfPofhe collection of re bates is to xtend back six years from the time o insti tuting the action, provided of course that the law h not retroactive and does not np plv to offences perpetrated before th enactment of the law. However, there is little prospect of either provision ever finding its way into Ihe completed bill and if it does. there will be a way found to dodge it. Sending a s u r e enough rebater to jail would he too bad. for rebaters nrj the real people. The Se'Tetary of War is preparing a modification of Ihe Philippine Tariff Bill. It will be "ecollectdd that the Pavne lull Irom which so much was hoped, was pigeon holed by the committee which refused to make any report on it to the Senate either ad- erse or otherwise. Now the S,jcretary of war is framinga (fornnromisi measure which may stand somechanee of a hearing. It will reduce the tariff of philfppinerice.sngjr and tobacco cominginto this country to 50 per cent in stead of X per cent of the Dingley rates while on other products of th island there shall be no duty. This is more of an educational mens ure than it is one of real re lu f for the islands. If it passes it will do Homw good of course. Hut It will lie cllleny valuable in showing that the fifty per writ reduction will have no worse effect on the protected industries othin country than did the 25 per cent reduction now in Toiv whi'uilrtill be remembered was fought vigorously at its inception by the protected interests. This country has not suffered by the removal of the duty on Hawaiian Sugar nor of that on Porto Rican sugar and tobacco nor by the 20 per cent reduction on sugar and tobacco from Cuba. But it probably will take some tune to educate congress up to the idea of entire free trade with the Phil ippines. Sciatica Cured After Twe-iiy Years of Torture. For tr.ore than twenty years Mr. J. B. Massey, of 3322 Clinton St. Minneapolis', Minn., was tortured hy sciatica. This pain and fiiiffcrinji which he endured during this time is beyond compichension. Nothing avc him any permanent relief mi ni he used Chpinherlaiii's Pain Balm.

It is no wonder that South Carolina has the most dis graceful murder record ot any civilized community in the world. In Edgefield conn ty, that State, a Democratic county convention has en dorsed for Congress James H.Tillman, who killed Mr Gonzales, the editor of tin Columbia State, in circum stances which public opin ion throughout the country regards as cold blooded mur der, notwithstanding the de cision to the contrary of the local jury. This endorsement is a peculiarly insolmt defi mice of law-abidingjand de cent sentiment. Practically it is an endorsement of mur der and a direct encourage ment to the young men ot Ihe State to accept the Hrs safe oppoitunity to take a human life. History iepuats itself very strangely an i things result curiously. The father of this same Tillman, liing in the same county of Edgefield, shot and killed a man forty- eight years ago. lie fl'd to South America, but alter a period of exile returned to Edgefield, stood histrial and was convicted and sentenced to serve a term in j 1 tt. While in jail h was elected to the legislature. He entered the Confederate 11 r m y, served there with credit and devel oped hit ti one of the best and ihe wisest men the State lias ever pronueed. He served in Oiigress from his district ourtecn years and 'despite Ihe bloody record of his ear- v days was ho kindly, gentle and benevolent that he was affectionately known as ,rUn cle George" from one end of the State to another. In his case, however, the tragedy made a complete change of his life and from Ihe time of its occurrence he never touched a drop of li quor or a card. It Is evidenT. therefore that endorsement of manslaughter is not a new thing for Edgefield coun ty; but it is not nt nil likely that the career of the young er Tillman will be like lhatof his father in any way except in its most dreadful episode.
