THE WASHINGTON LETTER.
(From Our KfKiilnr Correspondent )
Washington, D. C, Ficn. oth, 19(10.
Without intending to do bo, Sen
fltor rettigrew paid a high com
pliment to the American press,
whon lie said in effect that the rea
son he wns milking n public nuisance
of himself by contiuunlly trying
to nse the Congressional Record,
for the dissmiiiiitiou of treasonable
litenituro was that the influential
papers of tlie country regardless of
politics, were too patriotic to print
stuff calculated to encourage the
Filipinos to continue fighting
American soldiers. The Senate has
beon very patient with Pottigrow
much more patient thiin the people
have been hut the limit of patience
hns been reached, and his talk anil
notions have been publicly charac
terised ns the treason that they have
been, and during the past week he
lias been shown tluit the Senate does
not intend to countenance the utter
ing of treasonable language on its
floor, and tho people will indorse
tbe Senate ns strongly as they have
alrealy endorsed the Puilippine
policy of the ndminlsl ration which
is, the only pntriotio American
policy .
Sinoe Senator Lodge road that
plainly worded letter from Admiral
Dewey, branding as lies all the num
erous stories told about the Admiral's
having promised Aguinnldo indepen
dence, reconpniaed the Filipino re
public and saluted its flag,, Aguin
nldo's Senatorial assistants have
been too dazed to start a new batch
of stories.
Senator Chandler. Chairman of
the Committee on Elections, has
given notice that ho will co'l ui; the
Quay case Wednesday, of this week.
How soon the case will be voted
upon will depend entirely upon how
many Senators desire to speak on
tho question It is expected that
most of the speaking will be done by
members of the Committee, who
have made a study of the legal as
pects of the question at issue. It
seems more certain than ever that
Mr. Quay will be seated.
Ex-Gov. Lowry of Minn., who is
now m Washington, says there is no
question of the best element in that
state, regardless of poliical lines, en
dorsing the Philippine policy of
President McKiuloy. and that if tbe
domociats make anti imperialism
their war cry, as ho bolives they
will, the state will give President
McKinley a phenomenal majority.
Gen. Warfield, a prominont Cal
ifomian, now visiting Washington
Bays that nine-tenths of tho people
of that state favor permanent reten
tion of the Philippines, and that
when peace has been rest jred on the
island, and we begin to realizo the
passihilitiesof trade with the Orient,
San Frnmiseo will rival New York
as a seaport.
Th) first volume of the report of
the Philippine Commission consist
ing of a book of 264 pages, is now in
the hands of Senators and Repre
sentatives. It is one of the most
comprehensive reports ever sent to
Congress, and when the second vol.
is printed, which will be inside of
two or three weeks, there is scarcely
a question concerning the Philip
pines that conld be asked that a full
and satisfactory answer cannot be
found in the report. The form of
governmeut recommended for the
island is that of a territory, modi
fijd to linet existing conditions,
which will give the islanders con
trol of all their home affairs. Pres
ident McKinley intends to sond a
new civil commission to the Philip
pines, with authority to organize
local civil government as soon as
he can get the men he wants for
commissioners. f
The bill reported by the House
Ways and Means Committee, pro
viding a duty equivalent to 25 of
the duty paid foreign products on
Porto Rican products, is the result
of a compromise between those who
favored giving the island the same
trade privileges as those enjoyed by
the citiizena of our states, and those
who favored a smaller reduction of
xistirg duties, and ns such, it will
probably be accepted and beooma a
law. The Senate Porto Rioan Com
mi t tee has ordered a similar bill re
ported to the Senate. In agreeing
upon the bill, tbe majority of the
Ways and Means Committee reach
ed the conclusion that Porto Rico is
u t, iu tin manning of the Consti
tution a uart of the U. H. and can
th .'or.' ",e governed as a colony.

Some time since a children party
was held in aid of the Milford Ly

supervision of Mrs. J. J. Hart, and
it is said she has now pure! ased
with tho proceeds a number of books
which will shortly adorn the shelves
of the Association. The" Lyceum
seems to bo growing and should
have more commodious and attrac

when this result may be accomplish

sometime visited Milford, we might
then hope for a realization of our
dreams.

Our Street Lights.
It would Ik1 n matter of some in
terest to eople of the Borough to
know how many street lights are in
(wissable condition. Last Sunday ev
ening at 9 o'clock tbe one on the corn
er of Ann and Rrotid was giving very
little light, tbe one on corner of Ami
and Fourth had no globe nnd w as
practicully useless, the one on corner
of Catharine and Fourth was nothing
but a little red flicker.
There was no light at all corner of
High and Fourth and a large stream
of water was running down High so
that pedestraous greatly needed the
advantage of a lamp at that point.
There was no light corner of High
and Third. At least three lights on
two blocks were of no use, while on
two other blocks there were no lights
at all. If the lights are to be a pub
lic benefit they are needed on dark
raining nights when water is run
ning iu the streets. There are of no
practical use on bright ino:ilight
nights, and it would not matter if
they were not lighted then. We do,
not know who may le to blame for
this, nor are we fault finding, be
cause accident will lmpen, we are
only calling attention to a fact which
existed, and which should lie remedied.
The Horse to the Rescue.
Paris is the headquarters forfrenk
medical disooveries, and every lit
tie while tbe doctors there announce
a wondor just to keep themselves in
trim. The latest nnd wierdost of
the lot is n special band of serum
calculated to paralyze the Demon
Drink.
An able bodied horse is permitted
to partake of the flowing bowl until
he reaches tho point where hum
miiig birds begin to look like eagles,
His veins are then tapped and the
resulting serum is administered by
podennically to tbe victim of the
morning cocktail and the evening
nightcnp.lt isconfldentally announc
ed that the patient thus treated
will tremble at the mere sight of an
i ni hi bi to riu i ii, and ceaso from pilot
ing schooners across tho bar.
The horse world should welcome
this innovation with enthusiastic
resolutions of gratitude. For some
years the horse has been a patient
martyr tochronio sore throat in or
der that victims of diphtheria might
have a chance to combat that dread
disease. Now he lias an opportunity
to embark on ono long swoot jag,
and with such a privilege as this,
can it be truthfully stated that he is
below man?
The Automobiles.
Stroudsburg is to have an auto
mobile service. A company has
been organized with a capital of 10,
000. which proposes to purchase
three automobiles to be used in the
transportation of passengers. No
better field exists tnan Milford for
an enterprise of this kind. Our
roads are specially adapted for such
vehicles and should a line bo estab
lished to Port Jervis it would no
doubt do a thriving business because
one could be run a nnmber of times
daily, and the trips conld be mado
in a much shorter time than with
horses. Let some enterprising par
ties organize a scheme of this kind.

citizen to have a number of lights

AN UNJUST LAW
TOWARD WOMEN.
The Btnte Federatton of Women's
Club of Penna., at the recent Con
vention, reoomended that members
of ifs vnrious clubs inform themsel
ves of the laws of our State, espeo
ially those relating to women and
children The Peniisvlvvania Wo
man Suffrage Association at the
coming session of the Legislature,
purposes an effort whereby the exist
ing Intestate La w shall be so chang
ed nnd amended as to place husband
ind wife on an equality, in the event
if either dying intestate. Under
the present statute, should tho wife
lie without making a will, her estate
becomes the property of her surviv
ing husband, during the period of
his life. The law makes no refer
mce to the children. All reverts to
the husband's keeping. On the oon
rnry, should the husband die with
in t making a will, the wife is entit
led to but oue-third of the real es
tate during her life ; the remainder
(Hissing to the oldld or children. If
t.here be no issues nrviving, then the
husband's next of kin receive one.
Half the property, and the wife the
rther half.
This discrimination is so manifest
ly unjust, that married women all
over the state should seriously pro
test against their legal status. The
)ft-quoted argument, that beoanse
if her political disenfranchisement,
woman is specially protected, falls
flat in the face of a condition which
;ives the husband the nse of the
whole property in any case, and the
widow but a third, or at most half
interest.
The present law is capable of pe
culiar inference. First, that it is
necessary to protect the child r gainst
the mother by a two-thirds provision
ii condition not imposed upon the
father's love. Secondly, that it does
not pay to bear children, the pre
mium of one-half interest being
solely for the chihlle widow. Third
ly, as our law-makers are all men
it would apper that laws are some
times framed from masculine self
interest. Ida Poteii Botes.

stronger arguments. Refreshments
were served and tho evening was

onjoyed the occasion. The topio
for discussion at the next meeting
is that the only good Indian is a

The Greenland Trip.
A very good audience, considering
