Special VCashington Letter. . "'
To future students of our history the
most mystifying phenomenon of our
times will undoubtedly be .the attitude
;Of the McKlnley administration touch
ing the British-Boer contest.. . It is a
shame and -a disgrace ; to "Americans
and American institutions. - Every man
who voted for McKlnley and Roosevelt
last November is particeps criminls, for
nobody with two ideas above a Hotten
tot could mistake-the administration's
hostility to the cause ef the BoersTand
therefore to the cause of human liber
ty, ever since the inception of that as
tounding struggle, Nevertheless" it Is
true, that three-fourths of those who
voted for McKinley and nihety-nine-hundredths
of those who; voted against
him are zealous friends of the --Boera
and wish-for them a successful termi
nation, to the most heroic fight made
for liberty since the world began. That
is a strong and sweeping assertion, but
it is written down here, deliberately.
When the fearful odds r are counted, no
other people ever made a fight equal to
the Boers. - r .. . '" , - .
All along the ' American people, Al
most without regard to party affilia
tions, have sympathized", with them,
all except the administration, which
bas looked on with the stolidness of a
red Indian while the British butchered
men, women and children struggling
for the same principles for which our
fathers fought. In every way the Mc-.
Kihley administration has shown its
bias for England,-for the great kingdom-strangling,
and murdering two
tiny republics, and yet the peopler-God
forgive' them who were opposed, bit
terly opposed, to the administration's
policy in that regard, deliberately vot
ed to continue that administration in
power for four years more. Now
comes the cap. sheaf in this infamous
business, : The United States, govern
ment i. e its executive branch-is
the first r among nations to Yecognlie
England's triumph and to proclaim the
extinction of the heroic South African
republics! That too, while Botha is.
still.In the fieldDe-Wet winning vic
tories ' and -newlevies hurried from.
Britain to South Africa! Certainly
our cup of humiliation is full to run
ning over. If Messrs. McKinley and
Hay are so thoroughly stuck on John
nie Bull they might at least have acted
with some decency while Liberty lies
bleeding on the other side of the globe.
Their eagerness to let the world know
that they are enamored of J. B. is
about as. indecent a performance as if
a widower" should take unto himself
a second wife while on the return trip
from burying his first. The fashion in
this country hath been the fashion of
liberty. The fashion being foisted on
the South African patriots at the point
of the bayonet Is the fashion of des
potism. In" speaking of - chahfring
styles of. fashions, Alexander' Pope
says: - . . - ' - '

- .The first llpe of that famous couplet
I commend most cordially, to Colonel
John Hay secretary of state, and to his
White House chief.; Instead of being
"he first to. recognize the deatb.of a re
public 'we should be the last, and then
only on overwhelming proof as to the
fact : We.should-at least 'wait tillthe
republic is dead..
This precipitate action of the admin
istration smacks of ghoulish glee.' Is
there any rational explanation for this
amazing conduct, 6o contrary to all
our history and . to the desires of the
great body of the people?- There is
one,; only one one wbU4i self respect-'
ing Americans have hitherto rejected
with pride and scorn and that la the
theory proclaimed by-the London pa
pers that we negotiated the treaty of
Paris under the protecting muzzles" of
English guns! If that is true, what a
blessing it would have been to lis and
to our posterity had the muzzles of
those guns been pointed in some other
any' other direction and that Pando
ra box of a treaty had never been nego
tiated; but ff thavassertion of the Lon
don press, 80 humiliating to our amour
propre, is true, and it looks as If it Is
true, what becomes of that flamboyant
letter which Colonel: Hay wrote : to
jGeneral Dick Hanna's Dick on a cel
ebrated occasion solemnly asseverating,
with bis hand on his heart. that we had
no agreement or understanding, actual
or "Implied, with Mr. Bull? Shame!

"Even the Washington Post, which Is
much enamored of the administration
generally, gags at the loathsome dose
cooked up -by Mr.. Secretary of State
.Hay. ' It says: " ' . '' '
Some days ago Tb4 Post called attention to a
newly issued pamphlet of the state" department in
which our government was made to accept Eng
land's Tersiun ot the South -African- situation,, to
Tecogmie England's opera1 bouffe annexation of
the- two Dutch republics and even to accept Eng
land's nomenclature in the 'premises. The pam
phlet referred to not only had foot notes-announo-"ing.
the "annexations," but in the text itself it
described the -South Africana Republic as "The
Transvaal and the Orange Free State as "Orange
River Colony,"- thus following with servile ac
curacy the impudent lead of the British govern
ment. ': - '"
: Our -exposure of fhis new instance Sf state de
partment deference to England inspired a number
of excited special telegrams to out of town news
papers, and soon the whole' country was ringing
with the scandal. "
The truth is that this incident merely figures as
rresn evidence ol the secret entente "the under
standing., the agreement, the compact, If you
v.ill," as Mr, Jo Chamberlain described it in his
Manchester speech last year the entente that bas.
expressed itself fn a dozen different ways within
the past It months. The abandonment of our
commerce with .Delagoa Bay, while our sale of
war material to England kept steadily along; the
porary modus Vivendi; the Hav-Pauncefote
treaty,- which would have cursed us forever with
English Interference does any rational human
being ask for more proof than thisf Is not this
solemn acknowledgmmt of England's sovereignty
In South Africa a fitting culmination of our mis
guided abasement? ' - V -.

people share that view. -

- The vast majority- of embassadors,

is smart as a whip, busy as a bee and
cheerfuL asilark Tapley. Hon. Wu Is
.useful to his country by making him

comes Irr contact, thereby causing the
"Melican man" to. think better of the
Chinese in general. All the galloping
about-Bpeechmaking- and newspaper
writing now being done by" him have
a serious purpose to remove the an
tipathy which Americans entertain for
'his race, and, as Mr. Wn understands
the philosophy of catching more flies
with molasses than with vinegar, he
spreads or pours the saccharine stuff
over everybody that he comes In con

to rise a plain, everyday term. Its bell

he won't play. The corps Is also hon
ored by the presence of soldiers and
statesmen, but nevertheless and not
withstanding Mr. Wo is far and away
the most popular diplomat In Washing

dinner speaker has made brilliant hits
repeatedly. He carries, his speeches in

fc - How Are the Mlgrhty Fallen t .
There is one Ohio Republican states
man whoscpresent plight would move
a heart of stone, and that is Senator
Joseph -Benson Foraker. He is a bril
liant, gallant amiable man. lie was
once' the fair -rose and expectancy of
Buckeye Republicans. ' Multiplied thou
sands expected tQ see him the Repub
lican nominee for president Wher
ever he went he created a furore. lie
was the idol of the young Republicans.
His ambition was boundless. His
toricue of Ere stirred tLe Leart cf ti?
multitude as that of few other men
could do; "All that was before Marcus
A. Hanna Impinged upon the puLlie
jDye in the double capacity of states
man and Warwick. I like Senator
Foraker. He has good, hot rich, red
human blood in his arteries not cold
snake Juice. I dislike to see "such a
man forced to make way for the cool,
calculating plotters. That he is being
shelved Is plain as the nose on Lord
xsapler's face. His Ineffectual fires
have paled before Mark Hanna's bale
ful star.
The other day there was a remarka
ble meeting at the White House a
small but select society. Senator Han
na, General Grosvenor and. General
Dick met in that historic mansion to
have a conference with the president
touching the next Ohio campaign and
certain Ohio appointments. Great Jn
llus, but Hanna, Grosvenor and Dick
constitute a trio for your whiskers!
They were closeted with the president
for. two hours. Th ruinates xf that
meeting would make mighty rich read
ing.. " A Washington chronicler says,
"Senator Foraker,-wbo came over from
New York for tbarpurpose, called dur
ing the progress of the conference, but
remained only a short time." Very
naturally, He feels a delicacy In In
truding upon his enemies, even though
they grant him permission to run for a
second term In the senate. They toler
ate Foraker. Having ditched him com
pletely In his greater ambition the
presidency they hope to ' keep him
quiet and docile by throwing him a sop
which once be would have despised.
They have work for him to do per
haps to place Mark In nomination for
the presidency. There was a day not
more than 15 years ago when one yell
from the fiery Foraker would have
sent that quartet of Ohio statesmen
scurrying to their holes as so many
startled rats. How are the mighty
fallen- If the thoughts of the. five men
McKinley, nanna. Grosvenor, Dick
and Foraker as Foraker entered and
quit'the conference could be printed,
they would furnish much food for re
flection and many valuable lessons for
aspiring statesmen. In 1SS3 Foraker
was filling out hia second term as gov
ernor of Ohio, Grosvenor waa not
known outside of Ohio, Hanna and
Dick had not been discovered, and Mc
Kinley was not much above the aver
age congressman In renown only 13
years ago.- Now McKinley is entering
upon his second term in the White
House, Hanna is monarch of all he
surveys, Dick runs Ohio campaigns,
and General Grosvenor la chief cook
and bottle washer, while Foraker con
tinues in public place by their favor
the favor of his enemies!

Corner Darnlac Storklaara, Is
Tola f the Past. -
I -w as bemoaning the fact that l had
never known my grandmothers." One
died tcfore I was bom and the other
when I was a few months old. I
thougLt it would be so comforting to
have a grandmother because they al
ways regarded their grandchllJrea as
beli: incapable of doing wrong. At
)east t'ey were sure to multiply one's
,Tlrtuv-i and mlnlmlre faults. Their
chief ri -jr-ct la life, as I picture them,
waa to minister to their descendant'
c.i.' , t make the crooked places
stnL ' XLe grfludinotTip r of my fao
cywoiild keep my clothes in repair
darn the stocking, knit plenty of wab
rags and silk mittens, surprise me with
my. favorite dishes, laugh at my Jokes
and generally submerge her life In the
affairs of mine. What waa I going to
do la return, for all this unselflsb devo
tion? I would be her granddaughter.
That according to the .old traditions,
waa quite enough compensation.
. I waa holding forth, exploiting my
Tiewa and desires on the grandmother
question In the presence of one of those
people who delight to take a person
down and make him feel cheap, espe
cially If they Imagine one la posing as
younger than the family Bible records.
This Individual spoke up and said:
"Why, If your grandmothers were liv
ing they would be so aged that they
would be mummified. Instead of darn
ing your stockings, knitting your mit
tens, they would be blind, deaf and im
becile. You would have to tend them
with greater slavtshnesa than a mother
a newborn babe, ' and without the
sweet recompense in the latter case.
When people become . imbecllo with
age, they grow repulsive, and the pro
longing of this state la dreadful. whUe
each- day the unfolding of a budding
life Is filled with mysterious delight."
Of course I did not want a grand
mother that waa deaf, blind and Imbe
cile. I thought I would drop the sub
ject sa It appeared to be getting per
sonal. But my companion continued:
"Besides, could It be possible la the or
der of things for yga to have a vigor
ous. Industrious, capable grandmother,
she would not be sitting at the chimney
corner darning your stockings. She
would be out attending to her lodfre or
club business, visiting the millinery
openings, ordering a fashionable gown,
playing cards or attending a high tea.
The old fashioned grandmother la as
much a thing of the past aa the spin
ning wheel, the canalboat atagecoach.
making candles and family rendered
aoap."
I protested that I did not believe my
grandmothers would be of the modern
pattern. JL had. heard rny mother tell
often of how completely her. mother
lost her taste, for society and outside
affairs after she had grandchildren.
She had raised a largo family, but
these reproductions were Just as much
a delight aa bad been the originals. She
Infinitely preferred their society to that
of grown people. Their prattle, school
experiences, little ambitions, filled her
life completely. She waa constantly
planning surprises for them by making
animal cakes. Individual plea, candy,
aprons, hoods, doll clothes.
"Tes, but if she lived now she would
be different The air she would breathe
Is filled with assertive germs which de
clare that every woman owea'lt to her
self to have a career and stand at the
helm and steer it to the very end. She
must not allow her life to be. submerg
ed In that of her own children, as tbey
make their appearance rather unwel
come frequently, but must have outside
missions. Aa soon as her offspring la
married off, which la accomplished
with aa great dispatch aa diplomacy
can secure, then she la free to carry out
pet schemes and-natural desires no
trammeled." ...
"Perhaps yon are right." I replied.
Such a grandmother as this would be
oo comfort to me aa a grandmother,
while- abe might be a most helpful
friend, and I could be proud of her po
sition la the literary, artistic or philan
thropic world aa ber tastes might dic
tate her pursuit
A grandmother of my acquaintance
said to me not long ago: "It would be a
great trial to me to have my grand
children or any children In the bouse
with me now. 1 could not adapt my
self to their demands and interrup
tions. I have raised my family and
now want my time for Individual pur
suits." This woman has especial tal
ents and necessities for using them,"
and In her case. these feelings may not
seem unnatural. But this Is much the
sentiment that possesses the grand
mothers of the age who have no special
