THE WASHINGTON LETTER
(From Our Regular CorfespnnoVnt )
Washington, t.C, Jan. 8th. 1900.
The Roberts report will go to the
House this"week, unci there isn't
the slightest doubt that Roberts will
go back to Utah, a -wiser, If not a
happier man.
Much of the testimony tnken by
the Senate Committee On Elections
in the Clark bribery case has been
sensational, but little of it has been
couvincing either one way or the
other. A number of the witnesses,
by making statement before the
committee, directly contrary to
those made by them to a Montana
grand Jury, have shown that they
ought to be prosecuted for perjury.
The testimony of the whole bunch
made it verj plain that the talk of
using money both for nnd against
Clark, was freely indulged in by and
among members of the Montana
legislature, just previous to Clark.s
election, and there is little doubt in
Washington that it was used, too ,
but no unprejudiced man expects
that the charge of bribery will be
proven against Clark. Bribery is
one of the most difficult crimes to
prove, for t o very simple reason
that neither briber is apt to convict,
themselves nor to carry on the
transaction in the presence of a
third party.
Mr. Or. M. Lambert-son, who, in
addition to being one of Nebraska's
loading lawyers, is an authority on
state politics is in Washington on
legal business. In answer to ques
tions on the political outlook in the
state, lie said he was absolutely
certain that the next legislature,
which will elect two Senators, will
be republican.
Mr. F. B. Shepard, who is U. 8.
Commissoner at St. Michaels, Alas
ka wiys the notion ofPres. MeKinley
in making Alaska a military divis
ion, under command of Gen. Randall'
will be joyful news to the law abid
ing residents of that territory, as
under exfsting conditions the civil
authorities are powerless Biid mili
tary authority is absolutely neces
sity to divide It into two territories.
The House Commicteo on In
terstate and Foreign Commerce. will
favorably report ChnirmoiiHepburns
bill providing for the construction
of the Nioaragua Canal, by this
government, as goon as the required
territory is acquired from Costa Rica
and Nicaragua, and Mr. Hepburn
thiuks the bill will pass tho House
at this session. That the sentiment
of the House favors the bill is un
questionably true, but the desire on
the part of some members to wait
for the report of the Canal Com
mission, which will be available
next winter, may prevent action
at this sessiou.
To Face Heresy 0 bargee.
Rev. Dr. Arthur C. McGiffert,
of New York, has been cited bv the
Presbytery of N. Y. to appear before
that body Febl2th and plead to the
Accusation of heresy ' made against
bim. One charge is that he pub
licly denies the fuda mental doc
trine of the immediate inspiration
by God, and the truthfulness and
authority of the Holy Scripture as
set forth in the confession of faith
and the Scripture itself, and another
that be denies the infallible author
ity of Scriptures by discrediting or
contradicting statement of its writ
era by teaching that the authors of
Holy Scripture contradict each
other, or that Scripture contradict
Scripture, aud by denying the
gonuineness, truthfulness and
authority of portions of the gospel
according to John and the dis
courses of our Lord as they 'are co-n
talned in said gospol .

HIS TROUBLES INCREASE.
Some weeks ago a Port Jervis
dominie nn wittingly- entailed a lot
of misery on Sonny Greening i-y
joining him in the bonds of holy
wedlock to MisSj.Villoughby Black
of Montague N. J. Not long after
the mukiug of the two one.the brides
mother attempted to persuade- her
to Ijjave the bed ana board of her
newly made husband, but was not
successful. Later however the bride
was induced to go homo on th re
presentation that her mother was
ill. For some days thereafter she
was not at home to callers and Sonny
employed eminent counsel in N. J.
to right, his wrongs and tind bis
wife. It was understood that on
her return he was to. be informed
and grunred an interview which
was to decide his fate for she would
then choose, between Rattlesnake
aud New Jersey. She arrived home
last week, aud last Tuesday Sonny
went over to cuiry his bride in
triumph to his mansion, Alas; she
coldly greeted him with the an
nouncement that she did not wish to
see his face or fonn, and then swooned
and was suddenly, touseSonnys force
ful English, yanked in an other room
and out of his sight, and as he turned
he was greeted by an assortment of
Jersey justice embodied iu the per
sons of several constables with a war
rant of arrest for assault a nd buttery.

of the law, and lost no time in cross.

that was of his bosom, but is now of

willingness to return and be to! given
and if Sonny revisits the state of the
Pennsylvania rail road he may per

Sunday School Week.
Sunday School Week now known
throughout the countiy as the "Phil
adelphia Movement," and is being
widely copied in other gi eat cities.
It is the most energetic, wisely plan
ned, and successful effort yet made to
capture a gieat city for Christian
work. By the union of all Sunday
School forces in great sections of the
city, a series of mass meetings after
temoon and evening for a w hole week
ore held, five or wore eveiy day, en
gaging a great and notable company
of speakers and institute teachers.
These District mass meetings con
verge on the County Convention held
on Saturday ifhd on Decision Day on
the Sabbath. The- "Sunday School
Week" this year is planned for Jan
uary 21st and 28th. Pittsburg is ar
ranging for such a movement in May
and Reading has the "Week," Jan
uary Hth to lHth. Think of two
hundred Sunday Schools engaged in
evangelistic efToi t on the same day!

Nomination for Justice.
It has been a soma what un
determined question as to the proper
time within which to file certificates
of nomination for justice of the
peace, whether the of file is a state
office and the nominations should
be filed at Harrisburg or whether a
township or borough office and they
should be filed with the county com
missioners. If the former then the
certificate should be filed 28 days be
fore election and if the latter then
18 days. The question has been
decided both ways in the lower
courts, and the state Department
to avoid controversy ad vises that
such nominations should be m i l.)
prior to Jan 23 a mLthe certificate fil
ed iu the Department, no later than
that date. A certificate should also
be filed with the commissioners bo
fore Feb. 2 to avoid a question.

INCONSISTENCY OF
OUR GOVERNMENT.
Our government claims to be Dem
ocratic. Its laws ore supposed to be
made in accordance with the wish
;'.nd will of flie people. Asa people
we hold tenaciously to the theory of
popular icpresentatioti. Any planer
suggestion to cut off from this divine
privilege any class, large or small,
would be wet with such a storm of
opposition as is rarely seen. Its advo
cate would be denounced as an enemy
of. our institutions, as a traitor to hu
man rights, and his measure would
lie struck dead by that fatal word,
"unconstitutional" and buried for
ever lienoath the avalanche of public
opinion.
And yet in this Hand of the free
and home of the brave," in this year
of our Lord 1!MI0, in an age of en
lightenment, progress, thioughtand
t nth. In this fiee, educated, Demo
c atic America, our nation is hug
ging to its bosom an Inconsistonc;
and on absurdity, In Its continual ri
f.isal to entrust with the privilege
tiie right, the duty of the ballot, woi
tliun one half her citizens.
The ignorant foieiner, knowing
little or nothing of our free iustitu
t!( ns, can vote. He can help say
w hat our laws shall lie. The educat
ed woman, boin and luiscd here,
trained, it way be, in our higher in
stitutions of learning, with the broad.
p;ogiessive, enlightened views, must
lie dead as a mummy on election day.
The tramp, whiskey-soaked and
t .hacco-cured, way drag his lags
back to his native town and sell his
wite on election day for a few drinks
of poor whiskey, hut the noble-hearted,
pure-minded mother must sit
itill with as little influence as a stat
ue, while the tramp helps to wake
laws which way wake her boy a
tramp too.
The low ward politician, who keeps
tho "dirty pool polities" as muddyas
possible in order that he, with other
reptiles, way wake a dirty living,
bus a voice and vote, but the noblest
woman in all the land stands Is-fore
the law as a nonentity, while he is
king,
If there is a bare-faced adsurdity
anywhere on earth which exceeds
this, will someone, somewhere have
the goodness to point It out? We
say to womanhood:
"You shall olicy our laws, if you
steal, we will iwprision you, if you
kill, we will hung or electrocute you;
if you own property we will
lax you, but we will not
give you a chance to say what
fiose laws shall be. You shall 'be
our sisters, wives and mother, you
shall train up our children, shall he
educated, we want you to think, but
you shall have no voice in that which
has to do with the larger affairs of
government. When it comes to this,
we put you lielow the tramps, w e
class you with the criminals, ' witl
the slave or a former generation, w e
will give you no wore voice than we
accord the horse or the ox which ser
ves us. Foreigners, trumps and
drunkards, saloon-keepers, libertines
and schemers shall have a hand in
this law-making business; women
and children, idiots, criminals and
cuttle shall not."
It is the nightmare of paganism
struggling against the progress of an
awaking age. It is the narrowness
of despotism lingering In thebreadth
of democracy. It Is out of place and
is destined soon to te sentenced to
death by the untrammclcd thougtand
resistless logic of an advancing agii

party sailed, the Miranda, was ship
wrecked and lost and of a large
number of cameras onboard, the one
used by Mr. Carjienter was the only
one saved. The talk was illustrated
by many views of scenes and of the
Eskimos inhabiting the frozen land,
showing their habitations and meth
ods of living. The expedition reach
ed as far os the Arctic Circle and was
organized for scientific purposes.
Mr. Carpenter is willing to repeat
the talk, or address, accompanied by

which will more vividly present the
subject and as It will be given to
benefit a very worthy cause should be
