THE WASHINGTON LETTER
(From Out RoRiilnr Correnpiimlriit )
Washington, D. C, Jan. 22n, 1900
President McKinley will use his
discretion about giving ; the in--formation
naked for by the Allen
resolution as to the Application of n
representative of the Transvonl Jte
publio for recognition by this go
ernruent, and why recognition was
refused, ns on motion of Senator
Spooner, the resolution was amend
ed bo as to request the President' "if
not incompatible wit'i the publio in
terasts", to furnish information.
This resolution has no other ob
ject than to embarrass tho adminis
tration. It is a part of the game
I which has been so unsuccessfully
played by the authors of the numer
ous resolutions, asking for all sorts
of information concerning the Phil
ippines, and deserves no answer.
The sudden spasm of sympathy for
the Boers is in reality a democratic
attempt to change the present
friendly relations between the U.S
and England, for no better reason
than for the making of political cop
ilnl among the Irish voters. At
least two Republican Senators seotn
to have beeu trapped in this game,
as Senators Hale and Mason were
among the speakers ata publio meet
ing last night, which was advertised
as a "Boer demonstration."
The House will devote three days,
beginning Tuesday, to a discussion
of the Robert's report and will then
proceed to fire Roberts either by de
claring his seat vacant, in accord,
anco with tho majority report, or
by sweating him in and expelling
him, in accordance with the minor
ity report.
The bouse Election Committee No.
1 has reported in favor of Hon. W.
F. Aldrich, who is contesting tho
seat held by G. A. Robinson, Demo
crat, from the 4th Alabama district,
and there is no doubt of the seating
of Mr. Aldrich.
Chairman P yne, of the Unose
Ways and Means Committee, said of
bis bill providing for an extension
of U. S. laws to Porto Rico and the
establishment of customs and inter
nal revenue collection districts on
the island, which is now being con
sidered by that committee : It is
'along the lino suggested by (Jen.
Davis, Gov. General of Porto Rico j
Gen. Roy Stone, who has had ex
tended experience there ; the Porto
Rican delegation, now in Washing,
ton, and those representatives of
American Commercial interests who
have spoken on the subject. . The
bill is not the result of any confer
. ence or agreement, but I think it ex
presses the general view of those
who have followed the hearings.
The essential point is that the legis
lation will aid Porto Rioo, without
In any way injuring American in
est." Tint Mr, Bryan is beginning to
realize that his party has got on the
wrong side of the expansion question
' was shown while he was in Wash
ington, a day or two ago, by his ad
vising the Deuioorntio Senators and
Representatives to be very pnrtion
in their language when discussing
the question publicly, nnd by bis
saying In an authorized interview :
"I am not opposed to all expansion ;
each proposed annexation must be
settled upon its own merits." It is
the old, old Democratic story. In
every Presidential campaign for
years, that party has favored, or
pretended to favor, any old thing
that promised to catch voters, and
has not hesitated to favor a thing in
one locality and oppose it. in anolh-
' er. Belore the campaign gets fair
ly etartei, Democratic speakers and
editors are likely to be declaring
that they have never opposed ex
pansion at all ; that it is only the
bugaboo th -y have themselves man
ufa -tared and labeled "imperial
Ism" which they oppose. That sort
of game isn't likely to fool anybody.
Tuere is no imperialist in this coun
try, and not likely to be.
Th Naval Board of Con struction
has. by ft v Jte of 4 to 1, turned down
the recommendation of the Naval
officers who, after witnessing the
trials of the submarine torpedo boat
Holland, thought the government
ought to buy the boat, which is now
at the Washington Navy Yard. The
reason given for the action of the
Board was that this class of boot is
Blill itself experimenting, as it is
having built, by the Columbia Iron

I'utitute during the ten years ; about
1.000 of these have engaged in
active Christian work since leaving

foreign countries. Three more

1. The first really valuable Cen
sus of Agriculture in tho United
States was taken in 1830, of the crops
of 1810. The next enumeration of
Agriculture will be taken in June,
1000, of the products of 1800.
2. Instead of recording several
farms on one schedule in the Twelfth
Census, as heretofore, each farm will
he accorded a separate blank, the en
tries on which will not he known to
any save sworn officers of the Depart
ment. No names will be published
in connection with information se
cured from the people.
:i. Tax assessors, collectors, and
equalizers can not serve as enumera
tors, or have access to the Census re
turns, or to the information therein
contained.
4. There are more than 5,000,000
farms, plantations, ranches, stock
rangos, and m irket. gardens in the
United States, all of which, for Cen
sus purposes, will be designated as
"farms."
6. A "farm" is all the land culti
vated or held for agricultural pur
poses under one management, wheth
er in a single body or separate par
eels. fl. The enumerator will ask for the
size and valne of each farm, the val-
ncjof all machinery, '.implements, ve
hicles, harness, etc, used thereon ;
mount of land owned and
actively, by said occu-
ill also ask for the acro-
t value of each crop, and the
oreagu of improved, unimproved.
and irrigated lands.
8. The designated "each crop"
includes all grains, cotton, corn, rice,
suir cane, sugar beets, sorghum,
hay, clover, wild grassess, gathered
forage, flax, hemp, hops, peanuts,
tobacco, seeds, nuts, tropical fruits,
small fruits, orchard fruits, nursery
and greenhouse stock, broom corn,
Irish potatoes and yams, all vegeta
bles, including the product of all fam
ily, truck and market gardens, etc.;
also new or unusual crops when
found.
!). The enumerator will ask for
the iiiitiilsr und value of the live
stock on the farm June 1, 1000, which
will lie reported under a number of
heads, such as horses, colts, mules,
asses, cows, heifers, steers, calves,
bulls, ewes, rams, Iambs, swine,
goats, chickens (including guinea
fowl), turkeys, geese, ducks, liees, etc.
10. He will also ask forthequunt
ity und value of milk, cream, butter,
cheese, ruisius, prunes, molasses, sir
up, sugar, eggs, beeswax, honey,
wool, wine, cider, vinegar, dried and
evaporuted fruits, forest products,
Hiultry and meat products, and, gen
erally, all articles made at home, or
for the home, from farm materials in
1800.
11. If ft person who moves from
a farm between the end of the crop
year 1800 and June 1, 1000, will leave
a written record of the products and
crops of that farm for isoo where it
and
will reach the appropriate enumerator
the statistics of his operations for that
year will not be lost. He will be re
quired to give the enumerator of the
district In which he lives on June 1,
1000, the acreage, value, buildings,
machinery, Implement, and live
stock of the farm he then occupies.
12. If every farmer will begin at
once to prepare a careful record of all
the facts which the enumerator will
lie instructed to record In June, 1900,
he will save time for himself and the
officer, and insure more accurate re
turns to the Government.
M. The twentieth century will
!egln on January 1, 1901. There
fore, the pending Census will -afford
to future generations a measure of
the strength and condition of the Un
ited States at the threshold of the new
hundred-year cycle. For that reason
veryone should take an active Inter
est in making it as nearly perfect as
possible. If each fanner will make
his own report perfect, the aggregnt
il report for every community, and
for the nation, will be perfect.
Cycling Increase!.
Tho calamity howler is abroad in
cycling circles, even as in all spheres
f every day life. His latest is that
lycling is doftd, a back number, gone
ind forgotten. How absurd are
inch remarks to the observer of
r.hingsas they are in Pennsylvania.
Thanks to the work of the I. A. W,
'ycling is, on the contrary, very
nuch on the increase, only there is
iot us much riding done. Wheel
nen, they are everywhere I Anion,
vomen or child nowadays looks upon
cycling as a matter of coarse, near,
y every home having nt least ono,
vvhether it be that of a road luborer,
mechenio or banker, and there it is
to lie used, when the occasion,
necessity or inclination requires.
Cycling has in effect ceased to be a
fad to be indulged in by the few and
almost to excess, as it was eight
years ago, and has now become a
;1easurable means of exercise, as
beneficial as it is useful nnd oon
voniont to all, as a means of trans
portation - ... -

A Life and Death. Fight
Mr. W. A. Hines of Manchester,
In., writing of his almost miracu
lous escape from death, says : "Ex
posure after measles induced seri
ous lung trouble, which ended in
Consumption. I had frequent hem
orrhages and coughed night and
day. All my doctors said I must
soon die. Then I began to use Dr.
King's New Discovery for Con
sumption, which completely cured
me. I would not be without it even
if it cost $5.00 a bottle. Hundreds
have used it on my reoomendation
and all say it never fails to cure
Throat, Chest aud Lung troubles."
