THE WASHINGTON LETTER.
(Prom Our lli'Rtiliir (irni(m'l.'iil )
Washiniiton. I. ('.. Oct. 2!rd, ''.)
President McKinley's visit to
Richmond, tomorrow, to rft1icss tin
launching of tin Shubiic, (li( first
government vessel ever built in that
flt.v, will show tlmt lie has no pol
Itleiil olijeet ill view III mixing with
his fellow citizens, us it must lie
ilin to even his most ntirrow-inin-ileil
erities tlmt he Ims nothing pol
iliciil to gain by visiting Virginia.
There is 11 reiison to lielievo tlmt
the Philippine Commission, which
met In Washington, to-iliiy, will pre.
pure i preliiiiliniry report nt once,
covering its investigation from the
openinif of hostilities by Agninnldo
nnil exisitiug comlitions on the is
lands leaving the future to be bund
led in 11 Inter mill fuller report, which
limy take the civilian members of
the Commission buck to the islands
lifter pence Is restored.
Senator Newell, w hose military imd
personal experience adds weight to
his opinion, said of the Filipinos:
"There is only one way of dealing
with the Filipinos, ami that is with
powder, ball, mid bayonet. I learn
ed this many years ago, when on a
cruise in that vicinity. 1 had some
experience then with Philippine
character that 1 will never forget.
The sooner we show the leaders of
the insurrection that we are in
real earnest, the sooner the trouble
Will be settled. The President is
alive to the situation and is handling
lug it with skill." Inasmuch as this
language was used by the Heimtor
just after he had been in conference
witn Presided) McKinlcy, it was
Hlgnllcant. Senator Cullom, w ho had
also just seen the President, said:
"The proper action for those fellows
is just such ns we are tnking-a sub
stantial enforcement of the authority
of the government."
Men from the fur west who oonio
to Washington these days nil tell
ono story great prosperity nnd al
most unanimous support of the
foreign policy of thonditiinistratioii.
For instance. Mr. C. W. Hartley, of
Boise City, Idaho, said: "I voted
for liryilti lit the lust Presidential
election, but I will never do it
again. I have been studying the
subject up a ittlo hi urn that, time.
More than KO per cent, of the silver
republicans in Idaho have decided
to go hack to the Republican Fold,
n nd, unless thorn is a very perfect
fusion of nil tlio opposing parties
Idaho is n sure' enough Republican
State for 111(10. Anti expansion
doesn't go out our way. Wo want
the islands in the East and lots of
trado for our Western cities."
That there isn't the slightest
doubt in administration circles
about our permanent retention of
the Philippines is shown by the de
cision of Secretary Long to recom
mend in his annual report the con
struction of a number of light draft
gunboats for use in Philipi ino wat
ers. It. is practically certain that
tho irsurrection will bo over long
before these boats nro built, but
they will be needed in Philippine
waters to look after our commerce
nil the time.
Post Master General Binith, who
has just returned from a stumping
trip in Ohio, says It is only a ques
tion of how largo the Republican
majority would be. His last
speeches were made in the "west
ern reserve," where Democrats had
lieen making all sorts of claims
about Republican apathy. Mr.
Smith says ho found no Republican
aimthy in that section of the State ;
that the Republicans there, as in
all sections of the country, had
been so busy making money that
they waited later in the campaign
than nsual before giving their time
and attention to politics; that when
lie left they wore thoroughly arous
ed, and that there is no reason to
fear that the full Republican vote
will not be brought out. Nr. Smith
says that while there are wide dif
ferences of opinion us to the total
vote Sum. Jones will get, the best
posted men in the State are abso
lutely certain that he will take
many more votes from McLean
than from N:ish. President Mc
Kinley's private advices from Ohio,
which are numerous and full, all
point one way to certain Republi
can victory.
No braver man ever wore the U.
6. uniform than Brigadier General
Guy V Henry, of the regular army,
who wns buried to-day with mili
tary honors, nt Arlington, whero so
many of bis former comrades ire
sleeping their last sleep. In the
Indian wars, ho enrned the title of
'Fighting Ony" by his gallantry.
How gallant ho win may bo judged
from the fact that in the campaign
against the Sioux Indian-, in 170,
he led his regiment in a charge
after receiving a shof thrombins
face which broke his noso and de
stroyed the sight of his left eye,
and said aftar the fight had been
won, to the officer whojattemptod to
condole with him, while lending
him from the field: "It, is nothing,
hick. This is what we urn her.i
for;" mid again when be pursued
the Clu'vennes Hero-is the Canadian
birder in the dead of winter, and
gave them a humiliating thrashing
they never forgot. It was in the
lilt tor cnmpnigii that (Jen. Henry
had both hands and feet frozen,
which inade him a cripple to his
dying day. It. is men like (Jen.
Henry who have given the Ameri
can soldier the high place he occu
pies in the esteem of tho entire
world, and which makes him un
conquerable; and every American
hould be proud of tho knowledge
that wo have never lucked n Henrv
when there was need for his ser
vices.
Tho events of tho past fortnight
in South Africa have spoiled the
aiticisins of the Democratic fault
finders in regard to the conduct ol
tho war by the Mclvinloy adminis
tration. British losses in Africa in
this fortnight have been as great ns
the American losses in Cuba and
the Philippines in nu entire year
of lighting, and utterly destroy the
opportunity for complaint, which
Democratic scolds were utilizing for
temporary political effect.
