V Special Washington Letter. , . i
The attention of the New York Sun,
Mark Hanna and General Charles H.
Grosvenor is particularly called hereby
and herein to the case of Hon. Charles
E.xLittlefield of Maine. He is at the
very least guilty of leze majesty atod
should be summarily dealt with. Other
wise discipline in the Republican party
is a minus quantity, and without dis
cipline it is nothing, Whenever a Re
publican becomes sufBalently independ
ent to think and speak for himself he
is a heretic and dangerous o the or
ganization. What's more, Littlefield
dares to tell the truth another x sin
against the Republican organization.
Worst; of all, he larruped what Repub
licans. regard as a sacred part of our
institutions, the supreme court of the
United States, which Republicans have
regarded, as sacred ever since they en
larged and packed it in order to secure
a legal tender decision to their liking.
Ever after it has. ground out just such
decisipns as the exigencies of Republic
an party politics demand.
Before the Republicans reduced that
court of last resort to that pitiable
plight "it regarded the court as a rep
rehensible object. Since that court
does its bidding any one who dares to
criticise Jt is written down as an idiot
of traitor or both. It will be preposter
ous to write Littlefield down as & tool,
so the whole pack, led on by the rene
gade New .York Sunwill tell all .sorts
of lies about him and heap all sorts of
abuse on him in order to prevent his
promotion or even continuance in pub
lic life, for he has committed the sin
unpardonable in declaring that the
great and good supreme court was in
fluenced by political considerations in
rendering its opinions in the insular
cases. Indeed, Littlefield scornfully de
clared that there was really no opinion
at all. When this new "man from
Maine," who is easily the-intellectual
peer of any other "man from Maine,"
had concluded, there was great ap
plause Wherefore? Because he was
speaking to the' American, Bar associa
tion men with brains in their heads,
who knew that he was telling the
truth, a trufh which brings a blush of
shame to the cheek of every American
citizen who loves his country and Its
constitution. But, as usual, the lick
spittle was present, this time in the
person of one Adolph Moses of Chicago,
who evidently does not resemble the
great lawgiver half as much in brains
as name. Me desired to utter ms vig
orous dissent to the applause for Lit-
tlefield's prohunciamento. Wherefore?
Because Littlefield had attacked the
supreme court! There you have it!
No man must dare to use the brains
which God , has given him unless he
coincides with the Republican supreme
court! Bully for Littlefield.
An Absurd Deduction.
One of the : favorite copies set for
urchins by the Old Field schoolmasters
was, "Many men of many minds," a
truth which cannot be denied and
which is frequently illustrated by the
doings and sayings of people now on
earth. For example, not long since
The Globe-Democrat was bloviating
over the fact, as a sign of McKinley
prosperity, that even if the corn crop
is short what there is of .lt will bring
more money than was received for the
large crop of last year. Certainly that
is a curious position for the great reli
gious weekly to take. Pray, who is to
pay the extraordinary price? The peo
ple who live within the region where
The G.-D. circulates, for not one farm
er out of a thousand in that vast corn
producing area in which The G.-P.'la
read raised enough corn to winter his
stock. ' What satisfaction wiU it be to
those farmers, to say nothing of the
thousands of npnagriculturists who
possess horses or cows or other live
stock, to go down into their pockets
and bring forth 70 cents to $1 for every
bushel of corn fed to stock? If The
Gv-p. will carry its theory to .Its legiti
mate conclusion., it' will discover that
if only om bushel of corn had been
grown on the surface otthe globe this
year and there was no old corn the
one bushel would probably sell for
1,000 a grain for seed purposes, whicj)
Is of course reductio ad absurdum.
Not content with exploiting the failure
of the com crop, The G.-D. turns Its
luminosity upon the almost total fail
'nro of the potato crop, with this bril
liant result; "This year's.crop or pota
toes is unnsnaily smalL une price,
however, will make it feel big-" n&i
utterance will hardly rank with King
Solomon's proverbs or the wisdom of
the ancients, but as an illngtratioo of
whistling , to keep op one's eourage U
rfpsorves a wider circulation than it
had in The G.-D., which wider circula
tion It will receive in these letters;

It is not known whether Mr. Shepard
has read the life of that' great soldier,
but he mnsj feel much as did Clive. A
Washington paper says: . "Commission
er Allen, when asked whether criminal
proceedings would be instituted against
Shepard, said, that was a matter with
which- he had nothing to do. It was
for other officials to consider." Per
haps they , will consider it as leisurely
as "other officials" have considered the
case of Mr. Neely, the distinguished
Republican thief who stole thousands
and thousands of dollars In Cuba and
whose trial will, from all appearances,
be postponed until after Gabriel sounds
his golden trumpet calling both quick
and dead to the judgment bar of God.
The Washington Post says, "Mrs.
Shepard added that her husband's
plans for the future had not finally
been determined on." If Mr. Shepard
were some obscure citizen out of em
ployment who had stolen $89.03 to keep
his wife and children from starving
until he could secure work, his "plans
for the future" would have "been final
ly determined upon" ere this by a vigi
lant and industrious prosecuting attor
ney, and those plans would mean sev
eral years at hardlabor In the peniten
tiary, cut "snepard was tne best chief
clerk the patent office ever had," re
marked several clerks, and it is dollars
to doughnuts that Mr. Shepard, by rea
son of his high social relations, will go
scot free and that Uncle Samuel will
pocket the loss. People who pay the
taxes, love honesty and believe in ecod
omy will more and more regret that the
Democrats did not carry the last con
gressional elections, so that Inter alia
there might have been investigations
which investigate into the tiumerous
malodorous scandals now vexing the
olfactories of the Anferican republic.
The Augean stables need a thorough

Philippine Blatters.
Things appear to be going to what
the late lamented Mr. Mantalini would
have denominated "the demnitlon bow
wows" In the Philippines. The follow
ing dispatch not only explains itself,
but shoWSin what unity our officials
are dwelling together In the orient and
with what dignity they are deporting
themselves in our Asiatic possessions:
- Manila, Aug. 19. Civil Governor H. Phelp ol
Benguet province has tendered his resignation.
No action . will be taken in- the matter until the
return of the commission from northern Luzoiw
From, the meager information obtainable it ap
pears that Governor Whitmarsh ia disgusted with
the situation, as the strong influence of his former
secretary, Scherer, Is seriously affecting the gov
ernor's prestige. .
Scherer is a German, who has lived in Benguet
province for a long time. About a month ago he
declined to act as secretary of a public meeting
of the Igorrote tribesmen on account of alleged
interference in the meeting by the American au
thorities. Thereupon Scherer was thrashed by
Governor Whitmarsh. Charges were then made
against the governor of using his position to fur
ther his personal ends.
The Philippines commission Investigated the
matter and exonerated Governor Whitmarsh, so
far as the charges of using his omce were con
cerned, but censured him for thrashing Scherer.
The resignation of Scherer was then accepted.
The attention of the officers, agents
and members of the Universal Peace
society is hereby called to the pugilis
tic and ungubernatorial antics of Gov
ernor Phelps. Clearly he is setting a
bad example, to governors everywhere
and particularly to the heathen sup
posed to be learning from us how to
govern himself. If Governor Phelps is
to be taken as a pattern, there is no
telling what may happen. For Instance,
Governor Alexander Monroe Dockery
is not only a "most pulchritudinous
Missourian," according to The Globe-
Democrat, but he is also a big, burly,
muscular man, while his secretary of
state, Hon. Samuel Baker Cook, Is a
tall, slender man, if not a "lean and
hungry Cassius." Now, If Governor
Phelps' method of managing refractory
secretaries Is to become the vogue.
Dockery might take Cook through a
course of sprouts with his fistsand
there would be weeping, wailing and
lamentation from Iowa to Arkansas.
Coagraiiman Hnll Snubbed.
But the unpleasant news about Gov
ernor Phelps-and his secretary Is not
a marker to another bit of belated news
which has at last found .its way to
these shores, and that is that Congress
man Hull of Iowa, chairman of the
committee on military affairs In the
Fifty-fourth. Fifty-fifth and Fifty
sixth congresses and Its predestined
chairman in the Fifty-seventh, was
snubbed actually and vilely snubbed
at Manila on July 4, and this unseemly
snubbing was, according to Hull him
self, who ought to know, in keeping
with the manner in which be had been
treated ever since he landed in the
Philippines. This lsawful and calcu
lated to barrow up. the soul of every
loyal American citizen and to cause nis
multitudinous hairs to stand on end,
like quills upon the fretful porcupine.
No such indignity to a statesman can
be tolerated, and something is likely
to pop loud and hard now that Broth
er Hull has returned to his native
heath. As Republican editors have
carefully censored this astounding Item
out of their papers and as many Re
publicans read these letters, the dis
patch from Manila detailing this dire
ful catastrophe is given here substan
tially as it appeared in the St Louis
Republic: -
Omaha, Aug. 17. Congressman Hull's criti
cisms of the army and officials in Manila are con
strued in some quarters as partially explained by
the Manila Times of July 12 in itsroport of an'
incident during which the Iowa statesman lost
his temper.
It was last July 4 when Mr. Hull, chairman of the
military affairs committee, had his pride offenBed,
and, according to the paper Just received, be
sulked throughout the holiday. No report of this
unfortunate affair was allowed to filter through
the regulw news channels to the outside world, so
this is the firs news of the "Hull incident" in
its entirety. The Manila Times reports it as fol
lows: .
"Since the inaugural exercises on July 4 there
have beqn considerable comment and a great
amount; pf surprise expressed in army, navy and
civil ciftbjs at the eccentric behavior and strange
remarks of Congressman Hull on tbat occasion. It
all arose pver Mr. Hull's wounded sensibilities J
cause be did nt think he was accorded the difc
finctian he considered be was entitled to. The
congressman Jort his temper and expressed him
self in most unbecoming manner, laying stress
on his power as chairman of the house committee
on military affairs and reflecting on the highest
and best people ia the community.
"Mr. Hull hfd been invited to a seat In the
nffiniai wption of the STrSnd stand, "which had
been reserved for the official party, military and
civil government heads, naval and military com
manding offlccrv .the consular corps and ether
listinguisbed and representative personageC Heed
less to say, the seating capacity was limited, and
..M, tnHividusl received one ticket. No ladies.
not even the governor's wife, were in the official
section, and all other, prominent people sat ia the
other parts of the grand stand.
"It appears that the congressman tried to take
M. lmilv into the tribuna official, bu was cour
teously told that the official arrangement did not
permit it. He expostulated, proclaimed his rank
and declared that he would not sit there unless
his family could. The usher politely explained
that the other section waa reserved for taia our.

pose and assured him tbat it applied to all.
"Sr. Hull then went over, and another g Title
man who bad volunteered' to usher placed t'bairs
for his party close to tbe tribuna official, where
the ladies of the commission and military ofti-crs
and prominent business men sat. Here, after sit
ting a brief time, the congressman complained in
loud tones to a naval officer, who was also tuher
ing, that .he was not being treated properly.
" They put me down here among a lot of
clerks, as if I were nobody, said he rudely.
"The officer explained quite courteously that
this was not the case and that be was accirded
just as much consideration aa others.
" 'But do you know who I imf said Mr. Hull,
'I am Congressman Hull and chairman of the com
mittee on military affairs.'
'The naval officer again explained that nobody
had been given preference before him; but, not
satisfied (evidently thinking the officer was cf tbe
army), he said, loud enoegh for all to bear:
' 'I have made lots of officers and can nnmake
them. I find the army very different here from
what I thought it was. This is only in line with
tbe way I've been treated ever since I came te the
Philippines.'
"Shortly after (this was before the ceremony
had commenced) Mr. Hull left the stand and
went down In front with tbe crowd. Here be got
beyond tbe line which was kept for passage, and
a policeman asked him to step back. v
' .'You don t know who I am. I am Conu-rcss-
man Hull,' said he. But the policeman said.
'You're no different from any one else so far aa
ray orders go.'
"Mr. Hull remained there durinz tha corernor's
address. Twice he was asked to come up into the
tribuna official aniftefused once when be was ob
served by Commissioner Wright, who sent an
army omrer to rnviu hun to come -up. ana" an
other time General Barry, unknowing of the inci
dent, went down personally to ask him up.
"Mr. Hull remarks have been indignantly dis
cussed, as they seriously reflect upon many esti
mable people Everybody deplores tbe matter, es
pecially his statement that this was in line with
(he way he had been treated ever since he oame
here. Mr. Hull has been entertained by many
prominent people. A banquet was given to him
at the Army and Navy club soon after he arrived,
and he has been dined by members of the com
mission and others, Mr. Hull has received every
recognition thst could have been given him, al
though he came to tbe Philippines for private
rods, to look into some Investments, and not npon
any official mission."
In its editorial columns The Times says:
"The extiaordinary conduct of Congressman
Hull has won him muah criticism and a suiU'.en
notoriety of a new sort. His conduct can hardly
be called gentlemanly, and If he attacks tbe salary
slate of the higher insular offices, as he has piom
ised to do, the act will not be lacking a savor oi
petty vindictiveness.
"It is strange to regard a man of so much
reputed ability, by which it Is to b presumed he
has risen to his place in the state, posing in such
a ridiculous and childish light. The nature of bis
conduct calls for lenient thoughts and cases the
friction of his rudeness."
" A Way to Get Even.
Now, the idea of a congressman not
only a congressman, but the chairman
of the great committee on military af
fairsbeing "put down here among a
lot of clerks as if he were a nobody"
Is one of the greatest Indignities placed
upon a distinguished public function
ary since the fall or Adam. Those
American statesmen who were setting
the stage . in Manila on the glorious
Fourth must have been blinder than a
lot of bats. To prevent any further
slights by reason of mistaken Identity
Governor Hull should hare a placard
printed in circus poster typo, which
Bhould run In this wise, "I am chair
man of tbe house committee on mili
tary affairs!" and should wear It port
ed conspicuously on his person In front
and rear. That would keep or tend to
keep him cut of Imbroglios while there.
and when be resumes his functions In
the house he should promptly have all
the addle pated officers who caused his
vexation a ad vexations reduced perma
nently to. the rank of "clerk." to which
rank they reduced him temporarily.
There is nothing like living up to one's
