- Special Washington Letter. ' :
It ia really gratifying to learn that a
reform movement has been inaugurat
ed in Philadelphia. If there is one
place on earth that needs reforming
worse than all others it is the City of
Brotherly Love, which has become so
thoroughly corrupt that when the man
in the moon passes over it he holds his
nose to keep from fainting. Indeed, the
foregoing remarks. may be applied to
the entire state of Pennsylvania, where
Republican purity and sweetness are
seen in their fullness. , The city of
Philadelphia is reliably Republican by
about 100,000 and the state by a quar
ter to a half million; yet ballot box
stuffing, repeating, bulldozing and all
other methods forbidden la politics are
practiced openly and brazenly,- It's
high time they-set in to reform things
there and thereabout. A vast deal is
said about Tammany corruption, but
Tammany in its worst estate was pure
beside the ring that dominates Penn
sylvania and Philadelphia. The last
legislature passed a street " railway
charter for Philadelphia for which that
great Republican, philanthropist, John
Wanamaker, offered a cool two mil
lions and a half, and it was such - a
valuable steal that the owners of the
charter rejected John's huge offer with
scorn. Thieving is certainly practiced
in that solidly Republican state on the
wholesale plan, and yet the Republican
papers prate pharisaically of honesty,
purity and patriotism. ; - -'f -:. :" :
"To Make Missouri Republican!"
A lot of Missouri pap suckers met in
Washington lately to do honor to Hon.
T. J. Akins, chairman of the Republic
an state ; committee: - Mr. Aklns dis
cussed "How to Make Missouri Repub
lican.'': He Said, among other things,
that between now and the next election
he hoped the policy of the Republican
party would be to demonstrate inter
alia that it is" the friend of the work
ingman and that it is not controlled by
great corporations and has no interest
in the welfare of the working masses,
Gewbilliklns! Certainly Mr. Akins is
the most sanguine statesman now per
ambulating this mundane sphere. He
has more hopefulness than the man

O Persistency, thy name is John Wes

some time ago that ; the Democrats
ought to nominate a southern man for
president, : and he mentioned eeveral
southern statesmen . who would make
able presidents. Now he announces
that his scheme is taking like wildfire.
Just why his plan should not work Is
not to be explained. This Is the era of
good i feeling. The north 2nd south
have been weeping -on , each other's
neck a great deal for, two or three
years. It has been declared over and
over again tnai me cruei war, is over.

'Take Tonr Choice. ..
- My. Illustrious and venerable friend
General Charles Henry Grosvenor ren
eges. My other illustrious and venerable
friend, Dr. Chauncey Mitchell Depew,
Is in the stubborn frame of mind pos
sessed by the man who, having de
clared by a lapsus linguae that the horse
was 17 feet high, stuck to it forever
more. The hoarse booting of the hoi
pollol has no more effect on the gay
and festive New' Yorker than pouring
aqua pura on a duck's back. Like Ol
iver Twist, he 'still cries for more.
Nothing will satisfy his yearning heart
but a thirdy term for Mr. McKihley.
The scorn oi Democrats and Republic
ans has no terrors for him." He must
be a pachyderm. Still, he goes on his
smiling way, while General Grosvenor
hastens to write a two column letter,
fine print; .to haul in his horns, and to
explain that the reporter left out the
only really valuable portion of his re
marks, which the general sets forth In
hsec verba: "The child Is net born who
will ever live to see a candidate for the
presidency nominated for a'third term.
Mr. McKiniey, la my opinion, wouio
refuse to consider the subject. J He
would not tarnish the glory of his two.
terms by a ttruggle for a third." The
general must surely read my letters,
for that is precisely, almost word for
word, my own opinion, expressed as
soon as Senator Depew broached the
snMeet. '
t am dad that General Grosvenor
wrote his. letter of elucidation glad
both for his own sake and for the gooa

- The Cry la. "Still They Comet"
The merry war betwixt the Babeock
and antl-Babcpck factions in the Re
publican party as to taking the tariff
off articles manufactured and sold by f
trusts goes on without any sign of
stopping. More - strength to their
arms! - It becomes more and more ap
parent .that the Babcockers can't be
bullied or coaxed into recanting or tak
ing the back track. They have crossed
the Rubicon and are headed for Rome.
Hon. Sereno E. Payne must be more
or less than mortaTif he doea not per
ceive by this time that "spanking Bab
eock" is a bigger job than he contract
ed for. Senator Marcus A. Hanna, 11
he is really a candidate for the presi
dential nomination, may find it to his
advantage to change his opinion "while
you wait," even as old shoes are half
soled, or as Mr. McKiniey somersaulted
as to "our plain duty" as to the Porto
Rican tariff. There are signs of revolt
even in the holy city of Columbus. The
Ohio State Journal, a - Republican
organ, says: .
It would be well for the Tariff league to lnre-
tigate before it proceeds with its campaign against
the Wisconsin congressman. A wast of tlmk and
effort might be saved. If the league imagines
that Mr. Babeock will be an easy mark, it is mis
taken. " The Wisconsin congressman is supported
in his position by a majority of his party not only
in his own state, but throughout the entire coun
try. This is patent to all who have watched
closely the drift of public sentiment. The only
criticism that has been made of Mr.- Babcock's
position has come either from the league or some
politician who feared to antagonize it. -
Now, be it remembered that that was
not said or written by any free trade
doctrinaire, by any disciple of Richard
Cobden, John Bright, Sir Robert Peel
or Henry George, but by a Republican
of Republicans. It means business.
Ultra "Vires.
That great and shining light of Re
publicanism, the St. Louis Globe-Demo
crat, in quite a lengthy but by no
means learned article, urges that con
gress pass a law making the Hawaiian
Islands a part of California and a sep
arate congressional district thereof
Congress cannot do the latter at alL
It would be clearly ultra vires. Con
gress fixes the ratio for representation
based on the census returns and by a
purely mathematical performance de
termines the number of representatives
to which each state is entitled, and
there the power of congress as to con
gressional districts - ceases and the
state's function begins L e., to deter
mine the lines of the districts. Con
gress has no more right or power to
make a congressional district of the
Hawaiian Islands than has The Globe
Democrat. As to adding it to Cali
fornia, congress can do that with the
consent of California and not without
that consent. Anyway, It would be of
very doubtful propriety to have a full
fledged congressman from Hawaii, as
the delegate from there, Hon. Mr. Wil
cox. Is an avowed monarchist. But
The Globe-Democrat Is estopped from
advocating making a congressional dis
trict of the Hawaiian Islands by rea
son of Its ceaseless chatter touching
the latest Democratic gerrymander In
Missouri. - It mourns like another
Rachel and refuses to be comforted be
cause the Missouri legislature for geo
graphical and other reasons gave Dr.
Bartholdt, Republican, a district con
talnlng 314,000 people,- with from 40,-
000 to 60,000 Republican majority, the
ratio being 194,182, at the same time
giving Judge Shackleford, Democrat, a
district with only 142,000 people and
8,000 ; Democratic majority. Now, I
submit to The G.-D. that if It Is an out
rage, as it solemnly asseverates, to
make the Shackleford district In Mis
souri with only 142,000, wouldn't It be
a greater outrage to make a California
district of the Hawaiian Islands, con
talning.only about 100,000 people, a
large majority of whom are Chinese
coolies, Japanese and Kanakas? Would
not that be a great piece of Incon
sistency from the viewpoint of The
G.-D.?
Once upon a time Colonel William F.

gress from the. district which I now

not consistent. The only reply that
Anderson ever gave to the charge was,
Consistency be damned ?' - Perhaps
The G.-D. is standing on Colonel Ander-'
son's platform. The excuse for mak
ing the Hawaiian Islands constitute a
portion of California is that the Ha
waiian territorial government Is the
most extravagant under the sun. The
powers that be had better try the old
remedy, economy, which has gone sad
ly out of fashion. -

Once upon a time the cashier of a

stole all the money . In the bank and
blew It In on No. 2 wheat. The robbed
depositors took the law into their own
hands, dragged the defaulting cashier
to a tree and were proceeding to 6trlng

that he wanted to address the multi

speak, when he said: "Gentlemen. I

I feel that way about the Ohio Re
publicans who lately met in convention
and formulated a platform. Inter alia
they declare that the Republican party
by Its glorious achievements made this
country a world power. A greater lie
has not been t&ld on this earth since
Ananias and Sapphlra bad their 111
starred land transaction. These hila
rious, palpitating and mendacious pa
triots are precisely 05 years behind
the times. This country became . a
world power before any Republican
was born. The date of Its becoming a
world power Is April SO, 1S03, when
that Immortal Democrat, Thomas Jef
ferson, purchased from Napoleon for a
song "the Louisiana territory," the
most colossal and stupendous transac
tion In real estate proposed .on earth
since the devU took the Savlourto the
top of a high mountain and offered him
the dominion of the world to fall down
and worship him. That's the truth of
history.- One cannot read even at this
late day without a thrill of patriotic
pride Jefferson's fateful sentence, "The
Mississippi must flow unvexed and un
fettered to the Bea." That was tho
pregnant prophecy of the glorious fact
that all creation must take us Into con

knows this better than the political

A Traat Aatldote.
Recently I traveled over a large por
tion of Kansas while on a lecturing
tour. While In the Sunflower State
I learned something which, If general
ly adopted, will bust the trusts. Now,
Kansas comes as near being a purely
agricultural state as any In the Union.
It produces some salt. lead, cine and
coal, but agriculture Is far and away
the chief Industry. So the farmers
grew weary of the extortions of the
binder twine trust, and to help them
out a binder twine factory has been
started In the penitentiary. Tbe re
sult Is highly satisfactory, as tbe state
furnishes the twine to the consumers
at about one-half what the trust baa
been furnishing It at, I Introduced
Into congress a bill to put binding
twine and tbe materials out of which
it Is made upon the free list, but tbe
Republican leaders would not even per
mit the committee on ways and means
to consider It. I guess the action ot
these Kansans will utterly disgust

that the Hebrews will yet be la the
majority. Statistics show thnt the
average longevity of tbe Hebrew race
Is greater than that of any other. Their
numbers mus.t therefore be Increasing
relatively to every race, nnd they cer
tainly are. Whether It Is doe to the
I sanitary measures enjoined by their re-
liglon or because of native vitality is
for 6tuJents of sociology to decide, but
the fact still, remains. Vet numbers
are not always to control the destiny
of the race, nud it Is to tc supposed
that fraternity and good senne are slow
ly wining out race distinctions. -a Bos-
