THE WASHINGTON LETTER.
(Kinni Oiir-Ri'itHlnr Cm n'-pnii'li'iit )
WashinoTON. IV C. .TUNK 18, 19C0.
President McKinley linn devoted fl
oonsidorablo portion of his office
hours for the lust two or three days
to receiving' delegates to tho Phila
delphia Convention, who stopped
over in Wnshiimtonto pny their re
spects to the President, nnd inciden
tally to talk a little polities nnd
give him the itios. Mr. McKinley
never appears to hotter advantage
thnn when in contact with tho rank
and file of the party. Other Presi
dents have hnd a knack of appear
ing to consult, hnmhlo meinhers of
their party, but Mr. McKinloy real
ly does consult them nnd ask their
advice npon matters of party policy,
nnd more than ono important politi
cal move hns been mado by him as
the result of ndvice asked for and
received from members of the par
ty who are scarcely known outside
of the immediate locality of their
homes. It is because ho realizes
that ft man doesn't have to ho prom
inent to have pood jndgemont that
President McKinloy is so well' liked
bv the rank and file of the party.
The situation in China prows
worse instead of better, and it may
become necessary for this govern
ment to send soldiers from the Phil
lippines to properly protect the
American interests in China. The
break in telegraphic communication
with Pekin has resulted in the
circulation of many sensational stor
ies, which may or may not be has
ed upon truth. The administra
tion hns not the slightest desire to
meddle with China, but it intends
to protect our largo and increasing
commercial interests in that country
at all hazards.
An official statement prepared at
the Treasury Department (-hows
that during the first three months
of the new financial law, there have
been 3C2 applications for authority
to organize National Banks, with a
total cnpitali7ition of J16.19fi.000
2H0 of which were for banks of $50,
000 or less capital. During this
period, 159 National banks, with a
combined capital of $8,645,000 have
been actually organized and open
for business with an increase of $51,
997,910, in National Bank circulnt'on
If proof were needed of the wisdom
of the National Banking clause of
the new financial law, it would be
these figures, showing the quick
ness of the people to recognize the
benefits open to them by a provis
ion for National banks with k-,s
than $50,000 capital.
Sonor Nicholas Rivero, 'ditor of
the leading Havana paper, Who is
now in Washington, pays this high
compliment to Gen. Leonnrd Wood,
Military Governor of Cuba: "Gen.
Wood is an honest and wise official
nnd is doing all he can to give the
Cubans a good administration.
Mr. James J. Walton, of Idaho,
stoj ped long enough in Washington
to give his idens for the political
outlook in his state. He. said
"Idaho will go Republican this year.
We lost the state four years ago by
nearly 20,000, but the elections of
the last two years brought that ma-
ioritv down considerably, and we
think that this year we will again
get control of the state. McKinley
and prosperity are responsible. We
lmve not had such prosperous times
in ten years past, and as we are
experiencing to-day. We are rapid-
Iv developing our industries. Our
people are paying off their debts.
We are too well off to think of
making a change. We are satisfied
with the present state of affairs
McKinley and prosperity are much
hotter than Bryan and deniorali
zution.
Although farmers in all sections
of the country are prosperous, the
D"ii)ocratio Congressional Campaign
Committee have undertaken to con
vince them that they are not. The
Committee actually puts out a claim
that the farmers have lost two bil
lions of dollarB under the McKinley
administration by the decline in
prices of farm products. The farm
er who remembers that he was
heavily in debt when the Cleveland
nomiuibtration closed, and who is
now out of debt and has a balance
to his credit iu bank, will be con
vinced by this sort of literature that
the correct reading of the adage
should be "Figures can lie," especi
ally when manipulated by those
wlio care nothing for facta. The
reuublicauv miuhc find it good pol
ities to aid in getting this sort of
Democratic literature into the hands
of pnMtpei'Oua furiuur.

Repuolicnn Convention.
There wns no question ns to the
nomination of President. McKinley
that matter hav;ng boon long ago
fully settled, but the contest, over
the candidate for Vice President
whilo earnest and divided with sev
eral available names was not acri
monious. The prevading idea Boom
ed to be to select a statesman of
acknowledged ability and avnilihil
itjr, and, with the number who fair
ly met these requirements it, bo
came also a question ns to who would
be strongest in New York and the
west. The sentiment for Governor
Roosevelt, of New York, grew
strong, nnd hnd he consented to ol
low the uso of his name tbe matter
would hnve been determined in nd
vnnce. He hnlted but finally the
pressure became so strong that be
was compelled to yield whereupon
all of tho candidates withdrew nnd
both McKinloy nnd Roosevelt were
nominnted by acclnmntion.
The platform adopted embodies
the following leading points. A
lessening of war taxes which benron
the musses. Legislation to foster
trade In tho far East nnd mnlntain
the open door.
Laws to prevent monopolies urged
a id combinations to control prices
condemned.
A steadfast ndhernnce to the
Monroe Doctrine."
Independence nnd self govern
ment will bo given Cuba os promis
ed.
The largest measure of self gov
ernment for the Philippines con
sistent with their welfare nnd our
duties.
The construction of tho Isthmus
canal and control by the govern
ment.
Attempts to nullify franchise on
account of color called revolution
ary and condemned.
The platform is invincible and
with the men npon it will sweep the
country.
Free Pictures Every Week.
The appreciation of the recent pict
ures given free to renders of the great
"Philadelphia Sunday Press'' has in
duced the management of that paper
to announce that a beautiful picture
will be given with every copy of the
'Philadelphia Sunday Press" every
Sunday. The assurance Is also given

magnificent ever distributed. The
subjects are nil original nnd by the

The picture for next Sunday, June
21, will be a decided novelty. It will
be 14x20 inches In size and its prom
inent fonture will be a reproduction
of Percy Moran's famous wider color,
The Ideal Summer Girl." Every
body knows Mornn nnd his Hummer
;irls, so that this picture Is certain to
lie immensely popular. It u ill hnve
added value to the fact that in one
corner will npKar an artistic cnlen
der for July, something that every
body will prize. It will lie well to
order next Sunday's "Press" early.
