THE WASHINGTON LETTER.
(Kroni Our HouUr Curii'spinlrnt.)
Washinoton. D. ('., JllY B. 19(10.
Secretary Ronr, after conferring
with General Miles mid bis fellow
members of tlio Cabinet has issued
the necessary orders to start more
than six thousand regular troops to
the Philippines, the idea being to
stop them in China if they nre need
ed there when they pet that lar on
their way. There is mill much
doubt about the fate of the foreign
ers in Pekin, one story following
and contradicting another several
times every day. Owing to the time
that would necessarily elapse before
the ofrtier powers could assemble an
army on the coast of China large
enough to forcibly take possession
of and hold Pekin and other interior
points, an agreement has been
reached by the powers under which
Japan will furnish ns large an army
ns may be necessary and go ahead
and perform the task of punishing
the out law Chinese element and re
storing law and order, the other
powers agreeing to pay .Tnpnn a cash
indomnitv, whichOhina will be made
to repay later.
The work of the Democratic Na
tional Convention has made no ap
preciable change in the political out
look, and will not cause any mater,
iul change in theprogrammeof work
mapped out by the Republicans.
The election of McKinley and Roose
velt will be the logical outcome of
existing conditions, but Republicans
everywhere are to bo urged to work
as though the result depended upon
on eh man's individual efforts. The
Democratic ticketand platform must
bo taken seriously and the evil re
sults that would follow Democratic
victory be pointed out to every vot
er. That is the Republican pro
gramme. Thero is quite a little rumpus
among those who managed tlio rec
ent reception to the Boer envoys in
Washington, and (he collection at
the reception, which was announced
to be for the benefit, of the widows
and orphans of the Boer soldiers.
(1,134 was collected supposedly for
the widows and orphans, but after
paying for carriages, fireworks,
wine, etc., it seems that only (18
was left for the widows and orphans
and the contributors are some of
them saying ugly things about those
who collected and disbursed the
money.
The memory of man is prover
bially short, but Democratic mem
ory must bo the shortest of the
whole bunch. Only a little more
than three years ngo, Hon. Adlai I.
Stevenson was Vice-President, and
as such presiding officer of the Hon
ate, and was being blackguarded and
abused by the silver Senators and
the silver press for having sold out
the interest of silver, which he pro
fessed to believe in, because he would
not do as the silverltes desired him
to do. Whether Mr. Stevenson do
served that abuse is noithor hero
nor thero. Wnat attention is. cal
led to is that the same men who
abused him then have again nomi
nated him for Vice- President. Mr.
Stevenson is personally likod in
Washington, but nobody believes,
regardless of political cpinion, that
he has strengthened the ticket by a
single vote. Mr. Bryan is the whole
thing and no votes will be cast for
Bryan and Stevenson by anyono ex
cerpt those who are' willing to endorse
and swallow Brynnism and all that
the term implies, just as Mr. Bryan
forced the Kansas City Convention
to swallow the 16 to 1 silver pill.
General prosperity is reflected in
the business of the U. 8 Patent Of
fice, which was larger during the
fiscal year just Dlosed than ever be
fore, the cash receipts having been
(1,358,288.35, and the number of
patents issued 26,540.
The Sultan of Turkey has made
another specific promise to pay those
American missionary claims, this
time within ninety days. Secretary
Hay has decided that Minister Straus
shall not return to Constantinople
until thoso clams are paid, and has
instructed Mr. Griscou, who is in
charge of the American legation in
that city, to impress it upon the Sul
tans mind that the money must be
paid within the specified time. The
Sultan wished bis promise kept se
cret, owing to numerous European
claims of a similar nature, and this
information was not obtained from
the Department of State, but from
those more directly interested in the
payment of t'u claims.
Liberty Nover Degrade! Woman.
Man has not been consciously un
just to woman in the past, nor is he
row ; but. he believes that she is in
her line sphere, not realizing that
he has fixed her sphere, and not (led
as lie ii' -' -hies. This is as true of
the biiil.aiian as of the Christian.
and no more so. If the "unspeak
able Turk" idionld be solicited to op
en the doi rs of his harem and let the
inmates become free, lie would he
indignant, doubtless, afd would
swear by the beard of the prophet
that he never would so degrade
lovely woman, who, in her sphere,
was intended to be the solace of
glorious, superior man
Yet, as man advances w,mnn if
elevated, and her elevation in turn
advances him. No liberty ever giv
en her has been lost or abused or re
gretted. Where most has been gtv
en her she has become best. Liber
ty never degrades her ; slavery does.
For her own good, therefore, she
needs I he ballot.
Woman's voto is needed for the
good of others. Sho is an enemy of
foreign war or domestic turmoil ;
she is a friend of pence and home.
Her influence fr good in many di
rections would he multiplied if she
possessed tho ballot. Bhe desires
the homes of the land to be pure and
sober; with her they may become
so. Without it what is the pros
pect ir. this regard.
Politics must be purified or we are
lost. To govern this great Nation
wisely and well is not degrading
service ; to it, all the wisdom, abil
ity and patriotism of all the peoplo
is required. No great moral force
should bo unemployed.
A LoVKK OF I.IBKH1Y.
The Dancing Ukase.
The modern and illustrious order
of Dancing Ma-dors, in solemn con
ference assembled has decreed that
henceforth and hereafter,' the cere
mony known as tho "round dance"
shall 1)0 performed without the hug.
Tho trousered light-fnntnstic-toer
shall no longer be permitted to take
a full arm group upon his nssister,
but must lay three fingers lightly
upon the renr centre of the diapha
nous shirt waist, and standing as far
away as bis reach may permit, gyrate
decorously over the waxed floor
The Dancing Masters are prepar
ing the rope that will launch them
into inocuous desuetude. The bles
sed privilege whereby the youth can
grab his charming partner wilh all
the energy of a grizzly bear, and
swing her off her feet, at the short
corners has been the means of popu
larizing the waltz and putting into
the background tho stntely minuet
and tho sleep provoking quadrille.
Upon this popularity of the waltz
the dancing masters have flourished
and grown fat as their active voca
tion will allow. Also they have
grown autocratic and with the in
ward promptings of the tyrant have
demanded the nboljtion of the me
feature that has given them n stand
ing. Ktw Jerkty Foreigner.
The saying that New Jersey is n
foreign state comes down fsotn the
time when Jos. Bona parte, cx-Kingof
Spain and Naples, after thedownfall
of Napoleon, sought fin asylum
in the United States, as an alien he
was obliged to obtain a special act of
the legislature to enable him to hold
real estate. Pennsylvania refused,
but New Jersey consented, and ho
established himself in princely mag
nificence at Bordentown. Hence
men of other States used humorous,
ly to declare that tho Jerseymen
vvith their foreign prince, were for
eigners, nnd tho State not a part of
the Union.

A corps of engineers hns been at
work this week running n line from
Matatnoras to Milford nnd from here
westwardly through the county to
meet, it is said, a survey now being
made from Wilkesbarre in thin di
rection. Oos. R. Perry, who bought
the franchises of the Delaware
and Anthracite R. R. Inst year,
which was a successor of the old
Lehigh and Eastern, nnd subse
quently transferred' his rights to
the Peoples Railway Co., was here
this week and stated, we are im
formpd that the snrvpy was being
made in the interest of thr latter
corporation. Engineers have recent
ly been nt work in the western part
orthis county, but no noe seemed to
have information as to their object
or the compnny employing them.
Possibly if injunctions or other leg
al obstructions retnrd, or prevent,
the building of the new rond along
the old canal in this State nnd the
New York authorities finally grant
permission to build over there, the
new line, if built may be compelled
to cross the river at Port Jervis and
go through the central part of this
county. We wish the promotors of
the canal rond all success possible
but it. would be a hnppy outcome for
ns if in the end they were diverted
n this direction. There are thous
ands of acres of excellent arable land
in the county which would nenrly
adjoin sacli n route, which may
n6ver be developed until a rond is
brought in proximity to it. The
summit of the Pocono mountain
nlonR the lino of the D. L. & W. R.
R. is being largely patronized as a
summer resort, and we have in this
county sites more advantageous and
beautiful which only need facilities
for access to become as fnmous as
the Cntskills. There is no question
as to the feasibility of a line across
the centrnl portion of tho county
and we hope in the effort to oon
struet a road it may fall to our lot,
after these long years of waiting and
hoping, to have it cross in this di
rection. Our Chinese Policy.
The Presidont through a circular
sent out by tne Department of State
has clearly defined our policy in the
Chinese matter. It is to adhere
to the policy initiated in 1857 of
peace with China, of futhornnce
of lawful commerce and of protec
tion of lives and property of our cit
izens by all means guaranteed under
extraterritorial treaty rights, and by
the law of nations. If wrongs are
done to our citizens we propose to
hold the responsible authors to the
uttermost accountability. The con
dition at Peking is looked on as an
archy and the responsibility devol
ves on the locnl provincial authori
ties. If they are not in collusion
with the rebellion they represent the
Chinese people with whom we seek
to remain in paoce and friendship
The President proposes to act con-
currently with other powers in res
cuing American officials, missionar
ies and other citizers in danger, to
afford protection to American life
and property and guarding and pro
tecting legitimate interests, and to
prevent the spread of disorder and
and a reourrenco of disasters. T!
policy is bringing permanent safety
and peace to China to preserve its tor
ritory intact, and safe guard for the
world the principle of equal and im
partial trade with all parts of the
Chinese Empire.

In tho midst of life we are In

died suddenly within one hour of
each other.
The Democratic party seems to
have simmered down to one thing
"William J. Bryan" and 18 to 1.
Although a majority of the dele

opposed to the adoption of tho 16 to

his way. The result will not be
hard to guess.
A few low places in our side walks

We often hear it remarked this
or that old farmer is no gentleman,
because he has a "No Trespass" no
tice on his property. Now does a
farmer not have the right to control
property he owns and pays taxes
for? Or must he submit to have
whosoever chooses to run over his
fieids, tear down bis fences, confis
cate his fruit etc Hardly. The
other day I noted a young man and
a young lady helping themselves to
berries on a property where notices'
forbidding trepass were in plain
sight. Yet they paid no attention
whatever to tho notice and came
very near boing sassy when told
they were intruding on private pro
perty. Farmers as a rule are far
from being hogs as they are some,
times called, and no fair minded
person will blame them for trying
to protect what is their own.
Logic and Lampoon.
One of the prime reasons why the
ministers who preach in all the
"fashionable" churches are so en
thusiastic in their support of the
great Willie the Wobbler, is be
cause under his prosperity adminis
tration, working people do not earn
enough money to support their fam
ilies in comfort and then whack up
with the preachers. The preach
ers most of them at least only
spout for pay, and they know where
the pay comes from. And this is
modern Christianity,

to influence voters. Presumably the
paper appreciates the intelligence of
its readers at a full value when it

argument gone to seed, and like
thistle down ready to be blown
around to raise another crop which
every thrifty person must spend a
little time to exterminate. If work
ing men are to be caught by such
absurdities they ought to go back to
the Cleveland, soup house, Demo
cratic times and enjoy such life
without a whine.
