WASHINGTON LETTER.
Sohn Sharp Williams, the Democratic
Leader in House a Brilliant and
Brainy Man Choosing Seats
Too Early to Predict
what Congress Will
Do.
Siwlnl CnnvxiKiiulcnii! courier.
Washington, D. C. Nov. 16th.
i lie special session of tlio 58th
Congress, called by the President for
the purpose of working through the
Cuban reciprocity proposition is now
in session.
The opening of Congress was very
mucii uku tiie opening or any uon
gress that has preceded it. There
publican programme went throucl;
as stilted. "Uncle Joe" Cannon was
elected Bpeaker according to schedule
and lion. John Sharp Williams, ot
Mississippi, was the nominee of the
democratic party for Speaker as pie
dictetl in this correspondence away
last spring. As the defeated candi
date for Speaker, Mr. Williams was
placed on the committee to escort in
the new Speaker and his speech in
troducing the new Speaker to the
uouse ot ltepresentntives was the
most graceful thing that has bceu
neard on the floor of the House for
many years. The daily papers all
over the country have commented on
it as such. Mr. Williams has already
made good the predictions of his
friends that ho is the man for the
position of floor leader of the House
on the democratic side. He has had
the good sense, as his friends knew
he would have, to give his chief op
ponent, the Hon. Champ Clark, of
Missouri, the appointment on the
Ways and Means Committee, one of
the highest honors that can come to
a democrat. Mr. Williams not only
showed his generosity by this action,
hut his good sense as well, for Mr.
Clark is one of the ablest democrats
111 the Congress, and can do effective
work against the republican party in
that position, Mr. Williams not
only has done this; lie also hat
placed lion. David A. Do Armond.
of Missouri, one of the ablest men in
public life to-dav, on the committee
on rules with himself. That is the
most important committee in the
House, for it controls all legislation
emanating from the House, and con
trols all debutes. He will be ubso-
utely invaluable to the partv und to
Mr. Williams in the debates that
will come oil this wiutei. Mr. Will-
inns has also placed the Hon. James
I'. Lloyd, of Missouri, back in his
old place as the democratic "whip"
of the House.
That is an honorable and lvsponsi
le position. For the "whin" of the
House has to see to it that a majority
of the members in the c-itv are. in
mioo (OIU tULIIIg UII MM, piUpW-
ition in which is involved the party
policy, ilr. ijloytl was lor Jir.
Clark against Mr.'Willianis, and this
action of Mr. Williams not only was
just ami good sense, but it was
generous as well, lie 1ns thus justi-
lied the prediction ot Ins friends that
he was big enough to lead the minor
ity to things thev can boast of in the
next campaign. As I have previous
ly remarked 111 this correspondence.
I he democracy can be congratulated
in the leadership it possesses in the
House for the next two years. Look
out for John Sharp Williams.
J here is one little piece of red tape
that each new House goes through
with that gives the spectators in the
gallery and the members on the
lloor an opportunity to give vent to
their enthusiasm for any particular
man they believe 111 or w hom they
think is a popular hero. That is
the time honored function of draw
ing seats for the session. A pace is
blindfolded and he pulls out of a
box a marble with a number on it,
and there is a number's name oppo
site this number. Both are called
out and the member then goes down
and selects his seat, there was
much applause when certain men
were called out. For instance, there
was a resolution adopted that gave
1 ne lloor leauer 01 tnc republican
side, the Hon. Sereuo Payne, of New
lork,und the oldest member on
that side of the House, the Hon.
Harry lSingham, of Pennsylvania,
the lloor leader of the democratic
side, tho Hon. John Sharp Williams,
of Mississippi, the light to choose
their seats without drawing tor them.
There was much applause when they
went foiward and chose their seats.
Then the names of prominet men on
both sides of the House were culled
out, and as they went down the
aieles to get their seats there went
up the plaudits of their menus.
Anions the number on the demo
cratic side who were recognized in
this manlier were Hon. Ueorgc is.
McClellan, lately elected the demo
cratic Mayor of Greater New York,
and the Hon. William Randolph
Hearst, of New York, who has done
so much for the cause of democracy
and the common peoplo of the
country. Ho received an ovation
that must have warmed tho cockles
in his heart, for it is the universal
opinion here that he and his papers,
with himself as the directing demo
cratic head, won the recent election
iu the city of New York. The
democrats all feel very kindly to
him for his work for the party, and
they improved the opportunity to
show him their market! appreciation
of his brilliant work in behalf of
democracy.
He has received marked attention
from democrats here since the as
sembling of Congress. Some of the
party leaders here are beginning to
tind out that he is a much bigger
man than they thought; that he was
not merely a newspaper man who
had made a phenomenal success of
the business, but that the reason he
made the suocesa was because he was
an able executive, a single-minded
patriot, and a lover of the common
people. As a consequence his stock
us the nominee of tho democracy for
the presidency has gone up several
points.
It is too early to predict what the
big tighta will be in this Congress,
but the tight on the Cuban reciproc
ity proposition is coins: to be a bit
ter one. There will not be us uianv
republican recalcitrants in this Con
gress as there was in the last 011 that
proposition, for the reason, as stated
111 this correspondence not long ago,
mat, 1110 oiicar irust nas boiicnt
out tne beet sugar interests and that
has cloed the mouths of many re
publicuns who othei wise would be
opposed to Cuban reciprocity. There
are some, however, who still hold
out against it, und they will line up
with the democrats and fight it un
less they will allow the democratic
amendment to go through removing
the uitiercntiul Irom reuncd sugar.
The democrats are perfectly willinc
to give Cuba all the reciprocity she
asks for or give her free trade with
this country, provided they can re
move the differential from relincd
ugar which will oivethe consumers
of this country a chur.ee. This is
exactly what the Sugar Trust does
not want. With reciprocity with
Cuba on raw sugar to the extent of
twenty-five per cent, reduction on
the present tariff, and retaining the
differentia) 011 refined suour, the
riiBt makes not less than eight
millions a year out of the game.
That is the milk in the coconut. It
a straight light between the people
and tho Sugar Trust. Watch the
game.
lo the intense delight of the
eniocratic leuders here, the republi
can administration has actually tied.
p in a nice puckuge and handed to
the dun 10c racy another and a cork
ing and a good campaign issin
in this dirty mess in the Panama
country. It is the belief here
not only nmo lg democrats, but
among many good republicans,
that the recent revolution in the
United Sfates of Colombia in Cen
tral America, was hatched in this
country und at the instigation of
this republican administration in
order to get control of the Panama
canal. In other words, the game
put up in the Semite to get the
usufruct out of those Panama canal
bonds has got to go thiough at any
cost. This republicans administra
tion plays into their hands and in
cites revolution down there and robs
that little country of a slice of its
territory in order to give the sena
torial cabal its rakcoff. How arc
they going to get away from the im
putation that they arc responsible

Colombia and one of its states been

country had several naval vessels at

to put backbone into the revolution

makes haste to "recognize" the new

Young Man, Be Sober.
The Danville Register in discuss
ing the question of temperance as
applied to business, quotes from the
Raleigh Post a statement that "bus-
ness requirements are most effect iv
agencies in promoting temperance so
tar as liquor indulgence is concern
ed," and continues in an able dis
cussion of tho qiiestioa, although it
is an anti-prohibition purer. Jt says:
The young mm who looks for
ward to a business career in any ca
pacity whatever exposes himself to a
momentous peril if he takes the risk
of forming the liquor habit. In most
cases this habit fastens itself upon
its victims unawares. The man
who so often remarks that he can
quit at any time, very frequently
tines not tpiit. The time never
comes when he admits to himself
that he wants to quit until he is en
slaved und is no longer his own mas
ter. V lieu that time comes, the
victim is worthless (except as a sick
ening example to others). It is then
that he becomes like a l"i"tr.)iinge.
ftfef ttf Air, mm Vne aslies are won h
more than the wood. For business
purposes lie is not worth his room
in any sort of an establishment. He
could not be trusted to drive an ox
cart. If onv of our renders tind
this statement inconsistent with our
opposition to prohibition, they are
welcome to any satisfaction tney
may get out of that impression. In
both cases our convictions are strong.
Wo say, without the least reserva
tion, that it is better not to touch,
taste or handle alcoholic drinks.
No self-respecting young ni:tn
with a laudable ambition to make
something of himself can afford to
tamper with intoxicating liquors.
Even sordid considerations, the
grade of motives, should restrain
him. lo become addicted to sucn a
habit is to doom himself in the bus
iness world. Nobody wants such a
man. Indeed, nobody can afford to
have him about, lie does more
harm than good. Is more of a
hindrance than a help. No matter
where he is, outside of a prison, In
is in the way. 1 he sense of worth
incss which it should be the aim of
every rational being to preserve
where'no higher claim is recognized,
should constitute a loftier motive
yet. No man can become a slave to
a debasing habit and preserve this
sense of worthiness and a commend
able degree of self-respect. hen
self-respect is gone, all is gone. There
is no foundation in the man on which
to build a hope. There would be
iust as little in him, perhaps, if the
world could be so remodeled as to
destroy the application of scripture
linunctions to res ponaioie oeiugs, or,
in other words, to leave men without
responsibility for their conduct by
taking away every possiuiuiy oi em.
V hut the railroads are doing is lor
business reasons, but as the Post
says, it is in the interest of reason
able temperance, and it teds to em
phasize one of the common sense
motives tor soonetv. it a uruiiKen
man is not responsible, a sober man
must be responsible lor getting
drunk. He does not have to make
a fool of himself.
Correctly savs an exchange: The
columns of a newspaper is tho edi
tor's farm his shop his trace, his
trade, his grocery, iiis law office or
profession, and when he donates
spucc for which ho gets no return,
he is out, just as the farmer that
gives away his pigs and butter and
eggs, or the professional man who
gives uuvtce gratis.

I returned from mv ten duys' tour
of Oklahoma and Indian Territories,
Texas, Ixiuisiana, Mississippi and
A abam on last J esdav, bettered by
the trip, though it was a hard one as
to constant travel. I was through a
great deal of the cotton belt, and in
the language ot the BKy propnet, i
still "cherish the opinion" that the
cotton crop will not exceed the crop
of 1902. I am a bull on the cotton
crop, and I am sorry for tho bears
this lime. Mv immense crop of
eight bales is comfortably housed in
a shed on my place, and my creditors
are perfectly willing to wait, know
ing I have this cotton, and 1 don't
know but what I will make them
wait until I get 15 cents for it.
Of course 1 would not put my
crop on the market m one day now,
because the spot receipts sometimes
bears the market and runs it down.
In selling my cotton 1 am like the

Of course it is gratifying to us
southern people to know that Missis

that ii-ginia, with the exception oi
two candidates in the legislative

Breathitt county hasshowed up with
her RUmis in full.
It is no longer which is the best
party, or which will serve alie coun
try 'best, but it is which gang has
t machine in the best working
trder. Machine politics means cor
ruption as well as victory. Tam
many's forces had the best organized
machine in New York, seventy
thousand votes the best. MattOjuvy's
machine in I'ennsyivania can give
my majorities ho may wish, or Re
publicans desire. Whether lnrmui
has a machine or not, we are salisiied
would be an expert in handling
one.
I have no tears to shed over the
ilefeat of Low, nor have I 'iny shouts
give forth for the victory ot lani-
niaiiy. 1 had rather De a rroniDi
tionist and gang by myself, than to
be a Democrat or Republican w ith
the spoils of ollicc and know I had
to pray one way and vote another in
o get the victory. A man
just can't afford to run with the ma
jority in this country, for if helocs
and runs with them until he dies, if
he don't go to hell it will be because
that shebang burned out before he
lied; but 1 am perfectly candid when
I say that whatever the superiority
f the Democratic party may be over
the Republican party in the south,
that same superiority obtains in the
ranks of the Republican party of the
north us compared with the Demo
cratic party.
I care a great deal more about the
price of cotton than I do about who
was eiecieti in acw jttritiiiy, nun
more fur the morals of our country
than I do for the victories of either
party in any state. It goes without
saving tliat there are perhaps millions
of good men belonging to tile Uemo
cratic and Republican parties, but
the machine forces that inn these
parties are as corrupt as the devil
wants them to be. l nave no uonoi
the devil was as much pleased over
Tanimanv'8 victory in New York as
Rossevelt was pleased with llanna s
victory in Ohio. 1 suppose MeClel-
lan is as good a man personally us
Iiow, but persons do not count where
machines control. If you ride with
the machine vou rule as snugly u
you ride on a Pullman car, but whei
the machine runs over a iuiiow it
will grind him to powdei.
Of course tho tug of war comes on
later. The great national campaign
next year will make the fur My.
What it will do with the commercial
manufacturing and financial interests
of this country, a prophet can only
say.
The era of prosperity w hich has
blessed this country for six or seven
yeais is gradually passing away. The
roseate hue on things has already
gone, and many a fellow is now run
ning for cover. We never have two
panics alike, on the same principle
that lightning never strikes the same
place twice, because the same place
stint there next time. I don't look
for an avalanche or a crash or an
earthquake like we have seen, even
when stringencies come, but I think
we will gradually work down to a
level-headed, conservative basie. and
while we may be strained, or bent,
we may not be broke.
In the meanwhile I am holding
my cotton, with the assurance that
my creditors will wait as long as I
have such assets to meet demands.
When a fellow's assets are more than
his liabilities he is that much ahead
of the grave, for we Iwught nothing
into this world, and it is very sure
we w ill curry nothing out with us.
A gentle hand nursed us in infancy
anil a gentle hand will lower us into
the grave, and we will be as helpless
at one end of the line as at the other
and money-less at both ends of the
line. Yours trulv,
. SAM P. JONES.
Education Averse te Work.
It's a pity that most people thiuk
education and work do not take up
their abode together. I reckon we
might as well say, in this connection
it's a pity there is so much truth in
this almost universal opinion. It is
true there are a few kinds of work
the college boy does not dodge, but
for the most part, he is not calculat-
ng on taking up ordinary out-door
occupations. Ibis, by the way, is
not confined to any class or people.
It is iust as true of white as colored.
Thev all think that education brings
is one of its rewards immunity from
manual labor. There are, however,
too sources to which we may look for
correction of this tendency: First,
the Agricultural uonege win correct
in the minds of the students, this
hubit of avoiding work. These
young men will be an exumpie to
others who may not have enjoyed
college training, but who, seeing the
college student engage in work, will
become better satished to follow incse
persuits themselves. So one of the
special blessings of the industrial
college is that it will add uigniiy to
labor as well as prepare the boy for
t higher class of service.
Tlien ugaiii, the rapid introduction
of machinery will exercise a whole
some influence in favor of putting
young men itito the active persuits of
agriculture and other kindred per
suits. Plenty of young men would mu a
sulky plow, who will not walk after

Eight Great Secrets of Success.

Then he sent fifty two-cent stamps
to tind out how to raise turnips suc
cessfully. He found out "Just
take hold of the tops and pull."
The next advertisement he answer
ed read: "How to double your mon
ey in six months." He was told to
convert his money into ouis, ioki

Next he sent for twelve useful

The Factory School.
When one rcnienibeis that so many
phases of factory life have been dis
cussed during the past few months,
it is strange that so little prominence
has been given the factory school.
An enterprising company, several
years ago, selected wiinin aiewmnes
of Atlanta a location for their fac
tory. Their choice was indeed a
happy one, for the spot naturally
pretty, has been made to look very

from pillar to post by the wandering
life their parents lead. Like the

The inherent love of a story is n
bond which unites the children of
men the world over and here m the
factory school it manifests itself as
elsewhere. They are great readers,
hese little mill people, and when
one remembers that a child's first
impulse is to imitate, the question
suggests itselt w hy not lead mem
upward by means ot tneir iavome
heroes and heroines? They have
time and inclination to read, but the
material is sadly lacking. Let the
sweet influence of our old masters
come into their lives, bringing with
it a purer, higher atmosphere; lead
them into a hitherto undiscovered
country and the harvest will indeed

way is by helping the children to
grow up with higher, nobler ideals

Success Without Money.

Everybody s has been followed up in
flip November issue bv a significant
article on "Successful Men who are

seems anomalous to the modern
American; yet, on reflection, the most
eager devotee of plutocracy cannot
deny that such men as Senator Hoar
of Massachusetts, Pres. Eliot of Har
vard. Dr. Rainsford and General Joe
Wheeler are, in the best senBe of the
term, successful. And the privutc
income of the most succes.ful man
in the United States to-dny Theo
dore Koosevelt is said to be well
under $7,500 yearly. It is good to
be reminded of these triumphs that
are not mean u red in dollars.
