WASHINGTON LETTER.
(From our Regular Correspondent.)
Washington, April, 21st, 1902.
In the presence of three hundred
representatives, some forty senators
and galleries packed with men and
women, but amid a silence as com
plete as it was dramatic, forty odd
Republicans passed between Messrs.
Payne and Tawney, acting as tell
ers, and then a mighty cheer burst
from the Democratic side of the
House of Representatives and the
Democrats hastened forward to be
counted on the motion to over-rule
the decision of Mr. Sherman,
Chairman of the Committee of the
Whole. The cheer must have
sounded like a wail in the ears of
Mr. Payne, for in that brief moment
he seemed to visibly age, his hands
dropped to his sides and his head
on his breast, while, in tones which
were audible to the farthest corner
of the chamber, Mr. Tawney con
tinued the count until he announc
ed the vote 171 to 130, and, for the
first time in history, the Reed rules
were overthrown, precedent cast
aside and the Cuban reciprocity
bill, so earnestly championed by
the President and on which the Re
publican leaders had staked all
their prestige, had been weighted
down with a free trade mill-stone
which was calculated to sink it in
the oblivion of a conference com
mittee. Cuba's hopes of American
generosity had been shattered.
It was late Friday afternoon
when Representative Dalzell con
cluded the general debate on the
Cuban reciprocity bill with a force
ful and logical speech. Imme
diately, .Judge Morris of Minnesota
offered the amendment, previously
offered in the Committee on Ways
and Means by Mr. Tawney, and
which provided for the removal of
the duty on refined sugar. Mr.
Payne promptly made the point of
order that the amendment was not
germane to the bill and the ques
tion was argued for hours, the
Chairman finally deciding the point
well taken. Tawney appealed from
the decision of the chair and forty
odd Republicans voted with the
Democratsand overruled the chair's
decision. The amendment was
then promptly adopted, the bill re
ported to the House, and, on a yea
and nay vote, the amendment was
carried l!)i) to 105. The measure
as amended passed by a vote of
217 to 52. The bill will reach the
Senate early this week and will be
referred immediately to the Com
mittee on Relations with Cuba, of
which Senator Piatt of Connecticut
is Chairman. As indicated by an
interview published in these letters
some weeks ago, Senator Piatt
strongly favors the object of the bill
but there is reason to believe that
when it is reported back to the
Senate it will be shorn of its free
trade amendment and of tl»>timc
limit, while the rate of concession
is likely to be raised to 25 percent.
Speaking on this subject yester
day, Senator Bard, of California,
told me he believed there was no
chance for the bill in the .Senate.
Senator McMillan told me the same
thing a few days before and it
seems unlikely that, even if the
friends of Cuba, in the Senate, suc
ceed in passing the bill, amended
as indicated, there will be any hope
of its getting through the House.
There was no expectation on the
part of those Republicans, who
voted with the Democrats to so
hamper the measure, that the bill
would eventually become a law as,
were it to do so, it would prove
more injurious to the beet sugar
interests than would Cuban reci
procity. The action of the Demo
crats in voting unanimously for an
amendment calculated to defeat the
20 per cent concession to Cuba,
which they had previously pro
nounced a "20 per cent concession
to their views" is as inexplicable
as are the majority of the Demo
cratic inconsistencies.
The Senate, last Wednesday,
passed the Chinese Exclusion bill
but not until it had been so amend
ed as to be a virtual re-enactment
of the Geary Law. The fear that
some of the provisions of the new
bill would be found to abrogate our
treaty with China and so hamper
the possibilities of trade with the
Orient, at a time when the remark
able success of American manufac
turing enterprises makes the acquis
ition and cultivation of new and
extensive foreign markets impera
tive, was responsible for the action
of the senators.
On Thursday Senator Lodge call
ed up the bill providing for the
temporary civil government of the
Philippines but yielded to Senator
Morgan of Alabama who, with
characteristic energy, proceeded to
deliver a 30,000 word speech on the
Nicaragua canal, speaking for live
consecutive hours. Whatever may
prove to be the effect on Isthmian
canal legislation, the effect of the
Alabamian's oratory on the Senate
was immediately apparent. Within
ten minutes the Senate chamber
was practically empty and so re
mained for the rest of the day. To
day consideration of the Philippine
bill will begin in earnest.
CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, APRIL, 24, 1902.
STATE AND COUNTY POLITICAL
NOTES.
"You can quote me as saying that
Mr. Elkin will not be nominated for
Governor," is what Senator Quay is
reported to have Baid to the newspaper
men in Washington on Monday and
all of them have quoted him to that ef
fect. The statement was made in
answer to an inquir}' as to whether the
declaration of certain State officials
that they would "sink or swim" with
the Atorney General would improve
the latter's chances. Senator Quay is
also reported to have made the same
statement to Congressman Connell on
Sunday night, when they had their
conference, and when Mr. Connell in
formed the Senator that he would be a
candidate for United States Senator to
succeed Senator Penrose unless opposi
tion to Elkin was withdrawn. Mr. Con
nell is satisfied that the Senator cannot
be moved from his position.
Letter to Geo. fletzger, Jr.
Emporium, Pa.
Dear Sir: How much gold do you sell
in the course of a year, and how much
pewter, how many 18 karat watches,
how many filled cases ?
No matter. A man may wear a gold
looking watch, or gold; it's nobody's
business. The money he didn't pay
you, he may have in"the bank. Some
women may wear pewter; and paste
may be as good as a diamond.
Not so with paint. Poor paint lets
property goto waste. Lead and oil is
good for three years; but that is the end
of its wholeness.
Zinc is as good for six years as lead
for three.
Lead and oil will keep out water
three years; Devoe lead and zinc six
years—sixteen in favorable conditions.
Yours truly,

by the lungs, liver and kidneys. Keep
these organs in a healthy condition and

need of a blood purifier. For this pur

dose of them will do you more good than
a dollar bottle of the best blood purifier.

A NEW DEPARTURE.
The Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul
Railway lias recently putin service 011
its Pioneer Limited trains the largest
and handsomest dining car ever built.
It is 82 feet in length from tip to tip,
and its body is 6 inches wider and high
er than the usual dining car. It seats
36 people comfortably in movable
chairs, and has a kitchen large enough
to permit the working of six cooks
which with six waiters and a conductor
make up the crew. The dining cars
heretofore in service did not provide
sufficient space to properly care for the
large number of patrons of the Pioneer,
so that it became necessary to have a
larger car. 8 3t
A MATTER OF HISTORY.
The Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul
Railway, popularly known as "The St.
Paul Road," began the use of electricity
for train lighting in 1888. In thit and
many ways it has been a pioneer in the
adoption of comforts for the traveler.
In building the world famous Pioneer
Limited trains a mark was set in luxury
and beauty of cars that has never been
equalled, and probably never will be.
