Special Washington Letter.
If the Hon. ; Serene E. Payne, whe
wears the largest hat of all the men; In
the house, who is chairman of the com
mittee on ways and means and who is
ex pmcio floor leader . of tlie Repub
licans, lias read the interview of Mr.
Gustave H, Schwab, the American man
ager of the? North German Lloyds, -he
will probably not hold his proboscis sc
high in air when he reflects that Bab-
cock's scheme to lower the tariff on
certain" articles and to take it entirely
off certain other, articles is ' of prime
necessity. : True, Bab is trying- to steali
Democratic thunder, but that doesn't
matter so long as he is on the right
track. It is safe to say that Mr. Bab-
cock is not a free trader. He stands with
the Washington Post and other tariff
advocates who believe and assert that
the present tariff schedules mqst be re
formed either by its friends or its ene
mies, and that it Js better that it be
reformed by its friends; Babcock et
id , genus, omne of Republicans have
sense. enough to observe that the anti
trust; tide is rising, and they believe
that they must help down the trusts
or that they and their party will be
engulfed by that irresistible, tide if they
do not help. Mr. Payne, on the other
hand, is disposed to. play the. role of
old King Canute, who was too proud
to get out of the way of the tide, but
ordered It to retire.
Food. For Reflection.
There is mucn solid food for pro
found reflection in Mr. Schwab's, obser
vations. He has just returned from
Europe.; wnlle tbere be made a sys
tematic study of the new spirit of
trade hostility toward us and of the
much talked of European combination
against American products. He sees in
it danger to American interests and
predicts the most serious consequences.
He, asserts, aa the result of his inves
tlgations, that the only way to avert a
disastrous blow to our trade in foreign
ports Is "to lower the wall of protec
tion with which we have surrounded
ourselves and by some form of recipro
cal concessions meet these European
nations in . their desire for fair treat
ment," That will probably give Mr,
Payne and his coparceners buck ague.
but that matters 'little. It will help
Babcock in his belated attempt to do
now what ought to have been done
years ago. -"You tickle ; me and " I'll
tickle you" is" an adage which applies
to. nations as weU as to individuals. A
man naturally patronizes the man who
patronizes him. Same way" with na
tions. We can't shut everybody out of
our markets and then expect everybody
to buy from us.
It Is a notorious fact that our manu
facturers undersell European manufac
turers in all the markets of the world.
It is also notorious that ' American
nianufacturers sell to foreign patrons
cheaper than they do to American cus
tomers at their very doors, which is an
outrage on justice and an insults to
common' sense. -The "fact that Ameri
can manufacturers can at a proflt
undersell . European manufacturers
gives the former the American market.
but if the Europeans take it into their
heads to lay, a discriminating duty on
American product? . it . will be a vast
calamity to our farmers, laborers and
manufacturers. , Mr. Payne talks much
as did Sir Robert Peel in the canvass
of 1842, when he declared that any man
who. talked of repealing the . English
corn laws ought to be clapped Into a
strait waistcoat and a padded celL Yet
In 1846-7 the same Sir Robert Peel re
pealed the corn laws. XLet us hope that
Mr. Payne will see the" light also and
come .to the aid of Brother Babcock.
A False Alarm.V"v -
Democrats who chance to read the
St. Xouis Globe-Democrat should not
be ; deluded, into the erroneous belief
that the regular Democrats of Mis
souri have been overthrown, routed or
stampeded by the little coterie of Palm-
er-Buckner Pemocrats in that state or
that any such catastrophe is impend
ing." Such talk is all bosh, unmitigated
tommyrot. For .some jmaccountable
reason the St. Louis Democrats nomr-
nated for Mayor Mr. Wells, who voted
twice for McKinley,. Why. they did
that It would be impossible for even
them to explain. The only reason ever
given is that the municipal election was
purely a local affair and that the over
whelming necessity fofgetting rid of
the Zeigenheim regime compelled them
to nominate a man of approved busi
ness capacity and undoubted integrity.
But that is an" explanation which does
not explain, as. there are scores of just
such TOen 1.. c of approved business
capacity and undoubted integrity in
St. Louis who : were faithful to the
Democratic "cause in-' 189G, 1898 aurt
1900: And one of these " would have
been i stronger than - Mr.' W ells and
would have received such a majority
that no one would haye dreamed of
contesting his election. Whats more
if the St. Louis Democrats had put up
such a man, the Palmer and Bucknei
adherents would have f received t th
glory of his election and would faavf
been eladly welcomed -into the party
with open arms; provided they bad sup
rtorted him in good faith. As it is, by
rhrustine Mr. v Wells upon the party
aii in a local election, they have bred
some ill feeling among the rank and
tn piwA some anDrehension.
The Globe-Democrat,' laying' hold of
thrill feeling and distrust magnifying
TDe great Democratic .party of Missouri
.Is rent In twain and that the regulars
are about to surrender to the Palmer
and Bucknerites, which is ell moon
shine. They have no more Idea of ur--rendering
than General Zachary. Tay
lor had of surrendering to Santa Anna
on a certain memorable occasion. It is
a mathematical truth that the part It !
not greater- than the whole. It is a fact
in-natural history that the tail cannot
wag the dog. Neither can the Palmer
and Bucknerites capture the "Demo
cratic organization in Missouri, not un
til 3 equals 13, for, counting the St,
Louis delegation in a state convention
solid for them, which it wjll not be,
there are 13 other districts In the state,
,not one of which can be controlled by
them and in which at least they can
hope to pick up an occasional straggler.
u nis will be round to be the trnth
when the test comes, provided the
Palmer and Bucknerites are foolish
enough to precipitate a row. Missouri
Democrats have been "and ara-busy
with -their crops, but when the neces
sity arises, whether next week or next
year, they will take a day off to at

Uity (Mo.) JournaL- v- ,x ' . -- .
In the language of Professor Sqneers
of Dotheboys HalL "Here Is richness.'
The more or less esteemed Journal Is
always interesting interesting when
talking politics because of Its stark
idiocy; Interesting when talking any
thing else because of Its brightness.
The above paragraph from The Jour
nal contains as much nonsense as can

and Is believed by nobody except those
who want to believe such tommyrot, or.
as Key. Dr. Ralnsf ord would say, such
"dashed rot," only the good doctor
used even a more emphatic word than
"dashed." The American Economist
quotes The Journal approvingly. The
wish is father to the thought in all
such cases. Pray, what inclination is
the south showing to break away from
the Democracy? Senator McLaurin of
South Carolina Is the sole exhibit of
note, and It is an old and true saying
that one swallow does not make a sum
mer. Senator McLaurin Is an amiable
gentleman, but he cannot create a tri
umphant Republican party In the south
any more .than he can convert the
southern people to the Mohammedan
religion or make a new world. The
people of the south have not forgotten
how they were plundered and oppress
ed by the carpetbaggers and scala
wags during reconstruction days the
most . monstrous carnival of crime. In
the entire annals of the human race,
bar none. They do not propose to re
turn to that evil and ruinous condition
of affairs. Senator McLaurin and the
Kansas City Journal may sing a song
more dulcet than that of the sirens, but
the people of the south will refuse to
be converted to Republicanism on the
very same principle that a burned
child dreads the fire and a scalded cat
fears even cold water. In Missouri,
the richest commonwealth ever robbed
by a band of thieves, it is astounding
to think of bow much they stole in the

- Tne Third Term Idiocy.
Senator Chauncey Mitchell Depewnn
doubtedly takes not only the cake, but
the whole bakery, as a humorist. - His
greatest joke Is found in his advocacy
of William McKinley for a third term.
Here is what the Incomparable humor
ist says: ...
Let me make a prediction. ' It Is tbat Presidest
McKinley will be nominated lor a third term and
elected. ' The people are satisfied with McKinley.
The great business interests of the country hav
confidence in him and his administration. They
desire the present period of prosperity to con
tinue, and they dread a change or the substitu
tion of a weak man in McKinley's place in the
White House. They realise that, owing to our
new territorial acquisitions, great and important
issues must be settled and pontics worked out that
lannot be completed during President IfcKinley't
present , term, and the knowledge of these facts
will, I think, lead to licKinley's nomination for a
third term. . - -.
Now, Cbauncey is a hnmmer when
It comes to spinning a yarn or deliver
ing a postprandial oration, but nobody
ever accused him of being a prophet,
either major or minor, so that his "pre
diction" carries little weight. If Gen
eral Charles Henry Grosvenor, prophet
maximus of the great Hocking valley.
should take It Into his. noggin to pre
dict a third term for Mr. McKinley,
ipeople would prick up their ears, for
either because he is really gifted with
the powers, of vaticination or by the
rarest accident, or, rather, series of ac
cidents. General Grosvenor has hit the
bullseye In the center In prophesying
touching the last two presidential elec
tions, but so far he has confined bis
prophecy touching the presidential suc
cession to the general prediction of "a
long line of Republican presidents..

never confer a tbicd term upon any

ability that they will make a man In
eligible for more than one term. Most
likely the term will be lengthened to
six years, but It will be one term. In
the early days of the republic any one
of three men could have been elected
to a third term Washington. Jefferson
and Jackson." They, refused it, and
their example became the unwritten
law. Only one. man tried to secure a
third term General Grant and to him,

historic, his party refused even a" nomi

"Shortly after the battle of Chkka-
maugs," said Captain Fitch, "I was ap
pointed chief quartermaster of ths sig
nal corps of the department of the
Cumberland, stationed at Chattanoogs.
On taking account of the quartermas
ter's stores I found that I was to need
of some light wagons to be used In the
mountainous country, and the only
way to get them was to go to Nash
ville and have them made, no I went to
Nashville and had five light wagons
made by the quartermaster's depart
ment When I got back to Chattanoo
ga with tne wagons. I pet a ltfza
teamster la charge ot the wagons and
mules.
"The teamster, being a green hand.
did not know that mules would eat
anything within their reach and Inno
cently tied them to the wheels of the
wagons, Not long after that I got an
order to be ready to march, and on go
ing out to Inspect my outfit I found
that the mules had eaten the spokes of
the wheels nearly off. so that the wag
ons were ready to fall down of their
own accord. As I could not use them
I had no recourse but to drop them
from my returns, and, being obliged to
assign a reason for so dropping them. I
gave the true one viz, 'Eaten by
mules.' - "
Shortly afterward I got , a letter
from the quartermaster general sarcas
tically Inquiring If Lieutenant Fitch
had observed whether the mules had
eaten the tires or not I replied that I
presumed they had, as they seemed to
be thoroughly tired the next day. The
quartermaster general wrote back.
'Any further trifling with this depart
ment on the part of Lieutenant Fitch
will probably result In his being retired
to private life.' Thereupon I dropped
the subject, but my first report was
correct"
At Chick amauga." said the major.
"Longstreet'a men ran over our bead
quarter teams. Every mule In one of
the teams went down, and the wagon
stood an obstruction In the road. Five
minutes later every mule was on Its
feet, and a wounded teamster yelled at
them to pull out They started without
more ado, swept along the road after
our broken regiments and. turning at
just the right point came Into our new
lines and stopped where the headquar
ters flag bad been stuck In the ground.
The driver reported later and drove In
to Chattanooga.
One of these mules the night before
bad pulled the blanket off our division
commander, bad run over the lines of
soldiers sleeping in close battle order.
had raided the Confederate pickets and
bad returned to our bivouac "under
furious fire. Tie men of the brigade
took a solemn tow to shoot the mis
chievous mule at daylight, but when
daylight came they bad other things to
shoot at and the mule was forgotten
until he cams In at the head of the
team attached to the -headquarter
wagon. Then the boys who had wit
nessed the charge and the escape of the
driver less team counted the mule's dev
iltry as Dothing."
"That charge of Longstreet, by the
way," said the colonel, rwa one of the
great charge of the war, and It was aa
successful as any as a breaker of lines.

at Gettysburg in a class to Itself, but 1
have often wondered whether the
Union assault on the Confederate poal
tion at Kenesaw mountain June 27.

the Confederate charge at Gettysburg.
Pickett' . charge was of course the
more spectacular, and the assaulting
force was more compact hut while It
broke the Union line at one point It
was driven back In disastrous retreat
"The direct assault on the fortified
line on Kenesaw was made by three
brigades, no better troops than Pick
ett's Virginians, but It most be remem
bered tbat while they failed to pierce
the Confederate line they held their po
sition and did not retreat Their loss
was correspondingly as heavy a Pick-
etf a at Gettsburg. Sherman's Idea was
to show hi own army as well a the
Confederate army tbat he could make
a frontal attack. If the assault had
been made and the assaulting colnmn
had retired, a did Pickett' column at
Gettysburg, the effect on the army
would not have been a It was when
the regiment that led the assault dung
to their position not more than SO paces

"The attack failed except la that it

Union troop In assault Lee' purpose
at Gettysburg was undoubtedly to
drive Pickett 18,000 men like a wedge
through the Union lines. The failure
of the attempt led to the retreat of the
whole Confederate army. . herman'
purpose at Kenesaw was to capture
the Confederate fortifications. The at
tack let to the retreat not of Sherman'
army, but of the Confederate army.

LINCOLN ADOPTED IT.
nia rantowo far. "Of Ik roal.

William II. Horn don. Lincoln' law
partner, knew Theodore Irkcr weU
and bad much correspondence wlta
him. and after the Lincoln Doorlaa de
bate he came on to Boston and saw
Parker and other antUlavtry men with
an eye to Lincoln political prospects.
Going back to Pprtngficld. he took with
him some of Parker's newer rrmoos
and addresses. "On of theta." ,.
say la his "Abraham Lincoln." "was a
lecture on The Effect of Slavery oq
the American People.' which was de
livered la tb Music halL Boston, and
which I gave to Lincoln, who resd sad
returned It lie liked especially tb
following ex press loo. which t marked
with a pencil and which be la sub
stance afterward urd la his Gettys
burg address: Democracy Is direct self
government over all th people, by all
the people. er all the rwopl.'" Th
address referred to (Parker last great
antlalarcry address) wa delivered July
4.1SCS.
Here. I submit wa the probable ori
gin of Lincoirr phrase. In oo variant
or another it was a great favorite wlib
Parker, fleo taking th exact form
thst Lincoln gave It with his sure In
tuition of the beat where there wa any
choice of words. Ia a speech deUvcred
by Parker la UCO w find it ttshedded
la a passage which m'ftt hav been
th inaplratlon of Steward's famous
"Irrepressible coo 8 let" or Lincoln's
"house divided against Itself." a view
to which Parker continually recurred.
Ia two other speeches It stands "gov
era ment of all the people, by all the
people, for all th people." It earliest
appearance that I have discovered la
his writings Is In a letter to Rev. Kam-
ocl J. May la ISIS, where It is simply
government of all, by all. for all."
