THE WASHINGTON LETTER.
(From Onr PeRiiler CorrcponcVnt )
Washington, D. C, Mch 12, 19tfl.
Republican Senators are showing
tl disposition to get together on the
Porto Ricnu hill. Whllo it cannot
yet be stated to n certainty what
changes will be mode. It se"nis like
ly tlint the bill will bo amended m
as to provide for the free entry of
all American goods in Porto Rico.
The action of the Senate Commit
tee on foreien relations in amendin
the Nicaragua Cnnnl treaty so ns d
reserve to the U. 8. authority to (In.
fend the Cnnnl in any way it tnnv
see fit in time of wnr seems to meet
with general approval. There is n
renson to suppose that, the amend
ment will be objected to bv En
land. In fact, it cannot, very well
be objected to sinco the amendment
is in almost the exact language ot a
clause in the treaty nnder whicl
the Suez Canal was constructed.
In view of its effect npon our rev.
enties, referring the reciprocity
treaty with France to the Semite
Finance Committee for consideration
imd report before votinir tinon it.
seems a sensible move. There if
ranch guessing going on as to when
the treaty will be voted npon. but
those who ought to know, believe
that it will be acted uion nt the pro
sent session.
Representative Hepburn, of Iowa,
has introduced a short bill that
would, if enacted into a law, put an
end to prize fighting in this country.
It provides that no picture or dns.
cription of any prize flirht or pngi
listio encounter, or any proposal for
betting on a fleht, shall be trans
initted through the mail rr by any
common carrier engaged in inter
state commerce, whether in a news
paper or periodical, or in any other
form. Without publicity, prize
fighting could not be madrf to pnv,
and the money ont of it is the onlv
reason for Its existence.
Senator Lodge thinks the officer
commanding our army should have
a higher rank than any other offic
er, and has introduced a Joint, reso
lution giving to the senior Major
General, while commanding the
army, the rank, pay and emolu
ments of Lieut. General. Repres
entative Moody, of Mass., offered
the resolution in the House.
Representative Brosius, of Pa:.
who has earned a reputation for
level headness. voiced the opinion
of many republicans when he said :
' There is a difference between a
philosopher and a statesman. A
statesman must keep his feet on the
ground while a philosopher may be
permitted to do more or. loss theor
ising. Therefore I reirret thin tend
ency to yell out against the repnb
lioan party at this time, pnrticnlnry
on the part of some very prominent
republicans. I firmly believe that
the lepublican party is able to meet
successfully any problem that, con
fronts it, and we ought to be willing
to wait with patience for the solu
tion of the great problems attend
ing the possession of our new is
lands." Col. George Bohon, of Ky., who i
credited with knowing the politics
of his state, said " to a gronp of
friends, in a Washington hotel
'Unless the Giebel law is repealed.
Kentucky will go republican as sure
candidates for the office of Presi
dent are nominated, and the state
will go republican so hard that it
will never get back into the demo
cratic ranks."
The passage by the German Rei
chstag, of the bill aimed at Americ
an meat products, has not produced
a pleasant feeling in Washington,
but neither in Congress nor in Ad
ministration circles is there any dis-
jfcwition to publicly criticise the
n atter in its present stage. It is
ensv to infer, however, from whntis
said by those who are in position to
make pood their words, that if Ger
many deliiierately invites a com
mercial conflict with 08, she will be
made to deeply regret having done
so.
Senator Elkins has pnt a stop to
the talk of his being a candidate for
Vice President, by saying that he
doesn't wish the office and that he
doas wish to remain in the Senate
He also expressed the opinion that
President McKinley should beallow
ed to choose the candidate for Vice-
President.

NEWSPAPER ARTICLES.
Cominnaici.r.',
The e.:pei iment being mnde this
week by Rev. C. M. Sheldon, fn the
"Dii'ly Capital," c,f Topeka, Kansas,
who proposes to publish a newspaper
along an oiigiunl line naiu.-ally lends
to the question what ought the daily
papers and the pe iodicnls to furnish
their icncleis In the way of news?
Aside f-oin the stories, which nie an
nounced as fiction, the general read
er desiies facts, and it mny be said
facts only in 'elation to such topics as
tend to enlighten and elevate. Na
tional, interational, political, lelig
ious, scientific and educational news
may constitute to a huge e.itent their
contents. Gossip of the times, private
afl'uiis and family niaiiers should
have no place in the pniei.
The moi bid taste craves details of
iiiuide's. the evidence given on the
tiinls, and full particulars of other
crimes, should not be cultivated.
Facts may lie news, but all facts are
not pioper news to be published, and
when lending an aiticle it is of g-eat
interest to know thnt one is not ab
sorbing hearsay or mere rumor or the
imnjinings of a versatile repeater.
Parents should object to a pajier
which contains thnt which they would
not permit to come in their families
if published in book form. Cull from
the daily paper for a month the pub
lished details of vice nnd crime and
arrange in book form, nnd place the
volume in every house bold for the
delectation of the tioys and girls nnd
every right minded parent would be
filled with indignation as great as
that which hp aroused the public
against the play called "Sapho" in
New York.
The newspaper should cultivate a
higher moral standard, it should en
deavor to elevate the minds of its
readers, by placing before them what
they ought to know, nnd not always
what they desire to learn.
The epitome of the Apostle Paul
in his letter to the Phillippians is an
excellent guide to an editor. What
soever things are true, honest, just,
pure, lovely and of a good report,
think on these things. ' ' K.
Women and our Public Schools.
The constitutional Convention of
1873 made women eligible to any of
fice of control or management und
er the publio school system. Tho
Constitution has been in opjrafcioii
for over a quarter of a century with
tno following results: Of tho
elective offices there are 1513" direc
tors outside of Philadelphia of
whom 64 are women. The 140
oounty, city and borough S:ip3rin
tendents in the State elected by di
rectors have throe women among
them. Of the appointed officers.
the State Superintendent and depu
ties. Principals of Normal School's
and the College and University
Council, all nre men.
Why is this' Where does the re
sponsibility lie? Not on women,
for they have ro voice in the mat
ter, since the same Convention
which m ido them eligible to school
offices restricted the suffrage to male
citizens. In a few other Htates this
same anomaly still exists and every
where with the same results, wo
men do not gef-. the offloes. In the
more progressive States, whorj in
terest in the educational system of
the State is a stronger influence
than political partisanship, eligibili
ty to office in the publio school sys
tem is soon followed by the right to
vote on all questions relating to
school matters.
