' ' Special Washington Letter. Milford W. Howard," quondam repre sentative in congress from Alabama, few,years ago achiered for himself a vast, notoriety and some money by writing a book with the fetching title "If Christ "Came to Congressl" a book which, : whatever its ' literary merits, caused a considerable ruction 1n Wash-. ingtonr William T.- Stead of England also wrote a book entitled "If Christ Came to Chicago!" and raked In many of the dollars of - the daddies thereby. Christ himself declared that' he came to call, not the" righteous, but sinners, to repentance He certainly would find a rich, large field for hislabors in Chi cago and would not be wholly without materia to work on should he come to congress'. Ilowever that may be. It is positively announced that Oops l Paul Kruger Is coming to America. " The people of this country all true Ameri cans who believe in the great Declara tion and in the spirit and men of 177& will welcome him with open arms to loving hearts. But Com Paul Will- do well to avoid the White House and the departmerits at Washington.. There he will receive the cold shoulder, the mar ble heart, the icy . hand, the -congealed stare. He will find this amazing para-dox-r-that while genuine America is redhot for him official America Is dead against bim and all his works. He may be astonished,-but . nevertheless he cannot change the facts. They are stubborn things, especially the fact that this administration is en rapport with J. B. Indeed if Oom Paul will apply to Colonel John Hay, secretary of state, he will be furnished with a neat little pamphlet issued by the state department of the United States of America God save the mark-which announces officially and .somewhat pre maturely that the little South African republics are dead and that they are now provinces of England.- ; A Disgraceful Document. That pamphlet is the most disgrace ful document ever issued from an Amer ican brain or an American press, but it should be ample warning to the brave old Boer that he must keep off the pres idential grass and tnat he 6 not want ed in and about official Washington official Washington, mark you for if he will -tay "away from the " White HouseJand: departments and associate with the plain people of Washington he will find tender hearts and true who sympathize with-him and with his cause, just as he will find them In ev ery corner of this great republic, for the plain people-Goo bless them are still true to the principles of the Revo lution. - Only official .Washington is false. Oojn Tfaul will find as hearty a reception by Lord Pauncefote . at the English legation itself as he will in any official place in Washington. It Is the strangest tale in the entire history of the country that John. Bull should lay such a spell on our state department as to cause Mt to negotiate and sign the Hay-Pauncefote treaty, a complete surrender of American, principles and of American rights. .The only defense for that disgrace is to say that our dip lomats were : overreached in other words, to plead, incompetency. As to the official toadying to the English on the Boer question, there la no defense. It Is untterly indefensible. 1 -; - A Historic Pair. ' When General Fred - Funston and General Aguinaldo faced each other, captor and prisoner, the two most re markable characters developed by the Philippine war were within thevrange of vision. Of course this does not in clude those who, though fighting in the Philippines, achieved Imperishable renown during the Spanish war.' Fun ston is one of those men who do things. If he had served under the eyo of Na poleon, be would nave been rewarded with the grand cross of the Legion of Honor.Tperhaps-witb. the. baton of n marshal of France. ' It is well that the president' has duly rewarded Funston and paid -no attention to the bowls, scowls, intrigues and jealousies of the West Point con? "ngent. Funston per formed a brilliant coup and -deserves well at the hands of the country. No matte? whether the Philippine war is right or wrong, Funston's business was not to philosophize about the righteous ness or unrighteousness of the war, but, being in it as an American soldier.; to do ail possible to bring it to an end fa vorable' to the American contention.

' Boa! Marriott Brosias. - Hitherto I have referred to the aston ishing mortality among the.360 repre sentatives elected to the " Fifty-sixth congress. .Fifteen out of the 360, or PTJirtlv one out of 24, died during the m f that confess, which ended at hh noon March 4. Since tbeu Hon. ill has been called tq his reward, suddenly, unexpectedly. Mr. Brosius was one of the-most radical and one of the most honest of the liepublican chieftains, possessed of large capacity, varied learning and Intense patriotism. Per- anally hewasa charming man, gentle as a little child, ready to participate in any innocent humor: His was the dis- trict formerly represented by - Hon. Thaddeus Stevens "Old Thad," as' he is universally called; for he lived so long that at last he seemed always to have been old. While Stevens may have added more renown to the Lancaster district, by reason, of wider opportuni ty and longer service, he never more faithfully represented the people than did my generous and kindly Repub lican friend, Hon. Marriott Brosius. ' The Nebraska Case. The Nebraska legislature ran the Del aware legislature a" close race for the booby prize In the matter of electing senators of the United States. It so happened, unfortunately, that in each of those states there were two senators to elect, one for Tour years and the other for the full term of six years. More unfortunately etin tn-each state the legislature was safely Republican on joint ballot In Delaware the cor- ruptlonlsts were so strong that, while they couldn't elect anybody, they could and, did prevent the election of. any body, so that for at. least two years the state of the Bayards and the Saus burys goes ! without senators. ' In Ne braska the Republican factions were so bitter, that a deadlock prevailed all winter, and only on March 27, the next to the last day of the session, was it broken by the process of setting aside all the great Republican chieftains in the state and selecting two men who. whatever their merits r demerits, are not generally known. The ' most curious feature of " the Nebraska situation is the complete obscuration of ex-Senator John Mellen Thurston. If bis name- was even men tioned among the many supposed to be fit to represent in the senate of the United States the state of William J. Bryan and William Vincent Allen, the fact failed to appear in the metropoli tan press. If any member of the legis lature voted for him in all that long, dreary" deadlock, when nearly every Republican In Nebraska known out side his own township was voted for," the .fact has escaped my attention. There was a hot foot Rosewater con tingent, a Dave Mercer legislative company of good fellows, a Thompson faction, a Haines guard, a .Meiklejohn battalion, and bow many more the Lord only knows, but nobody seems in all" the turmoil to have, thought of Senator Thurston as a Moses.' He was Just finishing a six year term which he won from Bryan in. 1894. He la In thejrery prime of his splendid powers. Heentered the senate in 1S95 with multifarious prophecies as to what a brilliant figure he wpuld.be in the less numerous, branch of the national legis lature. He was everywhere heralded as a man of unusual parts, and, truth to tell, he was so accepted. As late as 189G even the presidency itself seemed possible of his attainment the great est prize, except bis soul's salvation, for which mortal man ever contended. It la not meant that Senator Thurston had any chance f or the nomination at the hands of-the - convention at St. Louis in 1890, but It is meant that thousands who saw him preside over that tumultuous assembly In his mas terful manner deemed him good presi dential timber for future use. Hla senatorial career was on a high plane; he was always counted among the strongest and the brightest, but tho conclusion of the whole matter la that lie went, like McGlnty, to the bottom of the sea, and nobody not a single soul seems to care a fig. I don't. though I am talking about it a good An laterestia Mystery. The mvsterv of his taking off Is what Interests me. How does it hap pen that the brilliant young man who In 1894 of all the Republicans in Ne braska was deemed fit to contest the senatorial chair with Bryan should not to counted In the running at all In 1901? True, he declined to stand for re-election, but divers-others have de clined, and in perfect faith at that, and till been re-elected to unlock a dead lock, dragged to the party altar by the hair of the head even as the ram was dragged to the secriflclal altar by JLbra bam by the horns of hla bead, but no body seems to want to crag Thurston or even to think of him. The identity of the Man In . the Iron Mass is no greater mystery than, the political dla tppearance of Senator John M. Thurs ton. . " But one -thing la clear as to the Ne braska deadlock also as tojthe Deia ware fiasco and that Is thlsr-Tbe pres ent system of electing senators of the United States offers a positive premi um" upon corruption and personal fac tional persistence. Surely these cases. together wltb other nauseous ones in the last few years, offer reasons enough for a change in senatorial election methods. - Re-enter Arthar Pne Gorman. " ' The greatest parliamentary- leader known to this generation Is Hpn. Ar thur Pne Gorman of Maryland, who has been in retirement for two years now, and who. if he lives, will re-enter tne senate on March .4, 1903. ne re was who killed the force bill by tactics worthy - of the genius of - Napoleon. He will bo welcomed to his old place In the' senate by all Democrats of all Shades of opinion and by most of the Republicans, for a handsome presence and a crystalline intellect are.qualltiea as much prized In ' a man as- Is a soft voice In a woman. No public man In America today carries in his counte nance more evidences of intellect than does Mr. Gorman. . According to the Washington Post, able and independent, Senator Gor man achieved a remarkable victory for educational reform In the new law passed -by the Maryland legislature regulating suffrage. : The statute la drawn with .such consummate skill that no lawyer would dream of hold. Jng it unconstitutional. Indeed It is a Close copy of the Massachusetts stat. lite on the' same subject, consequently cannot" be objected to as lacking in wisdom, for Since the days of. Christ, at least, wise men have dwelt la tho east, especially la Massachusetts. In thus eopying the law of the old Bay State Mr. Gorman was wise as a ser pent If not harmless as a dove. The law simply provides that ach voter Shall mark his own ticket to indicate bow he votes.' If he cant't read, be can't obey the law and therefore -can't tcW Ttat's tU tiers is to It, except - ... y will be dead -sure for . about so.uuu Democratic majority. Wherefore?

Consequently be is one of those whom the Washington Post facetiously dubs McKinley's lame congressional duct s." Rodenberg applied for one of the Lou isiana Purchase exposition comm's- eionerships.

But Mr." McKinley thought otherwise and bestowed that particular plum elsewhere.- Rodenberg's Indorse ments, however, had so Impressed the president that he gave him a civil serv ice commlssi'onershlp, a four years term, with a $5,000 salary. Now, that's not bad.' Individually 1 congrat ulate Rodenberg. He Is a tiptop, good .man, barring his execrable politics. He was educated In my district Now that he has gone into a quasi reform office perhaps he may reform indeed and join the Democrats. While the lamp, etc Better Bead fiep, If Hon. George D.

He beheld two Unit ed States senatorsbips roaming around loose on the bleak Nebraska plains and determined to lasso one. for his own use. - While be was chasing assldnonslv President McKlnley cruelly took away his war berth, the Nebraska legisla ture turned him down, and now he is outside in the cold, cold world, where there Js weeping and walling and gnashing of teeth and perhaps a little profanity. -JEsop had a great beadl Bepmblleaa Fraad. Late developments as to the wsy the census figures were padded by Repub lican partisan officials in Maryland for political purposes have shown such co lossal frauds as to render them entirely worthless for any useful purpose. Con sequently Governor Smith, Democrat to nave state census taken upon the result of which some reliance may be placed. The principal reason for the padding appears to be that a cer tain Republlcaa congressman who has an eye on a seat in the United States senate was being boosted by the pad ding on the principle, "More people. more representation ia the legislature -i and more votes for senator." Of course tt Is known of all men that the Repub licans are the apostles of sweetness. purity, light and goodness and are pe culiarly the guardians of the ballot box. Consequently it Is heartrending to see one of their leaders caught red banded In padding the census preparatory to stuffing the ballot box and fraudu lently enlarging the legislature, 'The fact that a fraudulent congressman end a fraudulent presidential elector also result from this padding of the census Is very disquieting.

A clever man may name that of hla own state and guess at those of throe or four of the more Im portant sister states, but be is unlikely to know the meanings of any that are In the original Latin. Try some able professor ia a crowd and see him floun der. - " Ask the professor If he knows that the great seal of the United States was designed by an Englishman, Sir John Prestwich, who also suggested the mot to, "B riuribua Unumf Our ablest men had failed to propose anything ac ceptable.

"Virtus Sola In vlcta" (Virtue !one Invincible), etc. After six years the Englishman's de vice was adopted, and It yet remains toe arms of the United State.

The obverse of the great seal. with its splendid eagle, the bundle of arrows, the live branch, the 13 stripe. tne 13 stars, the glory breaking from the clouds and the "E Pluribue Unum." is magnificently American, but the pyramid, the desert the forbidding Egyptian sky and the eye la the trt angle on the reverse are simply bar barous. . The great seal of the Confederacy by a strange arbitrament of fate was never used. It was made in England and reached Richmond about the time of its evacuation by the armies of the lost cause and the Confederate, gov ernment Its motto was "Deo Vlndlce (God Maintains).

"L'EtolIe du Nord" (The Star of the North). Does the professor recall that Montana Is the only state with a Spanish motto?
