(From Our Regular Oorrrspiinilonce.)
Washington. D. C, Nov. 19, 1900
President McKinloy has nnnouti-
ceil tlint )io will be unable to see
Buy callers except thoso who have
important business with him, until
lie oomph tes bis minimi message to
Congress, upon which he is now
working. Only two weeks remain
in which the message must l)e writ
ten and printed, anil it will nece-u-arily
bo quite a long document.
Ik is generally understood that
Congress will provide for a Trims
Isthmian canal at this session, but
whether it will be the Hepburn Nic
aragua Canal bill that, passed the
House at the last session and which
was by resolution of the Senate
made the special order for December
10, will depend upon the recom
mendations made by tb:) President's
message, which will heaeeompanied
by the report of the Canal Commis
sion upon the most feasible route,
nil things considered for the Canal.
The preonderaiiee of sentiment in
Congress favors the Niear gun route
and that tl e caral shall he consruct
cd and controlled by the U. S. gov
eminent. When a man yells before he is bit,
it is usually because he knows he
deserves to he hit. That is about
what is the matter with the Demo
crats who are bowling about the in
tontion of the-Republicans at this
session of Congress to pass a reap,
portionment bill reducing tho rep
resentation of those Southern states
which have disfranchised a large
portion of their voters. They know
that the Republicans in Congress
have the power to do this tiling and
they fear it will bo exercised, as it
wouid bo by the Democrats if the
conditions were reversed. If the
Republican leaders have any inten
tion of putting such legislation
through Congress, they, nre not giv
ing any indication of it at this time,
although a few of them have public
ly said that it would bo no more
than just punishment for those
states. It is not at nil likely, how
ever, that the punishment will be
administered.
There is much anxiety in Wash
ington because of the serious illness
of Sentor Davis, of Minn. In ad
dition to friendship for him because
of his many able qualities, there is
a feeling that his counsel will be
needed during tho coming session of
Congress. His long experience as a
member of and as chairman of the
Senate Committee on foreign rela
tions has made him an authority on
everything pertaining to the foreign
relations of this government.
Attorney General Griggs is the
only member of the Cabinet who
bae yet declined the President's
pressing invitation to the entire
Ca hiiiet. to retain their portfolios un
der his second administration, and
bis declination was based upon per
sonal reasons he is a poor man and
feels that be cannot afford to remain
in office where it costs him more to
live than the salary he receives,
when there is a lucrative law prac
tice awaiting his attcnticn. There
nre two other members ot the Cabi
net who are wavering between their
personal desire to retire and their
wish to please the President by re
maining in office, while it is under.
stod that the other four have decid
ed to accept the President's invita
tion, although they have not form
ally done so.
The House Ways and Means Com
mittee will at once begin oousidr-
ing the question of reporting bill
to reduce the internal revenue taxa
tion, and Senator Aldrich, Chairman
of the Senate Committee on Finance
will call a meeting of that commit
toe for the same purpose. Senator
Aldrich piaid of the piobable act
ion of bis committee : "It is impos
sible at this time to say whether we
can accomplish anything in the nay
of a reduction. We hoo to do so,
but bow much the amount will bv
or what direction we will take in se
curing the reduction, cannot be pre
dicted until the Committe gets to
get her and carefully reviews the in
formation which is to be furnished
by the Treasury Department."
Secretary Gage estimates the
surplus of the present fiscal year at
i0,000,000, aud that of the year
begiuuing July 1, 1901, at $30,000,
000, the later being based uion a
continuation of present internal
revenue taxes.
"We made an honest fight upon
nil honest platform." So says Mr.
Bryan in his short address of condo
lence to himself and to the rest of
his i arty.
"Honesty is an unfortunate word
to tho use of the Democratic plat
form. The people held it for a plat
form of dishonesty and voted it
down.
Nor was Mr. Bryar.'s fight more
honest. It was not honest for him
to shir over or evade the silver
question tifher having been Sixleen-to-One
monomaniac for four years
and after refusing to take the nomi
nation if his hobby was not empha
sized in the Chicago platform.
It was not honest for him to speak
aga'n and again of the limited coin
age of silver under existing law as
if it were tho free and unlimited
coinage of sil ?er.
It was not honest for him to attack
the Treaty of Paris and its results
after it had been ratified by means
of bis efforts in its behalf with Dem
ocratic Senators.
It was not honest to accuse the
Republicans of wishing to build fotts
near the great cities for the purpose
of intimidating them. It was not
honest t" pretend that an army of
American soldiers could bo a menace
to tho liberty of their country.
It was not honest for him to give
his hearers to understand that there
is one law for the petty thief and
another law for tlio big thief. It
was not honest to assert that if be
were elected presidet ho would drive
all tho trusts out of business. It
was not honest, to seek to frighten
parents into believing that their
children would have no chance of
an independent and a successful
career on account of the trusts. It
was not honest to deny and discred
it tho prosperous condition of the
country.
In short, there wa9 mighty little
that was honest in Mr. Bryan's cam
paign speeches which were thorough
ly saturated with demagogy, mis
statement and suggestions of false
hood. His assertions iu 1900 were
just as trustworthy as his prophec
ies in 1898. Much good nature has
hoen wasted on Mr. Bryan's suppos
ed honesty of oonviction nnd pur
pose. His course this year has
shown that he is only a shallow
trimmer with an inexhaustible thirst
for talk and office. The man is es
sentially hollow, artificial and theat
rical. If he seems honest nnd sin
cere to himself, it is only because
like many tragic comedians of pri
vate life, he is the dupe of his own
acting. Besides, he hns talked so
long that words must have lost their
definite shape and color for him.
Wo have no wish to judge him se
verely, and reflection are pleas in
abatement for him ; but, when he
talks about his "honest" fight, re
membrance of his months of mis
represontations and evasion rises in
every impartial mind N Y. fi.in.

Millions Given Away.
It is certainly gratifying to the
public to know of one concern which
is not afraid to be generous. The pro
prietors of Dr. King's New Discovery
for Consumption, Coughs and Colds,
have given away over ten million
trial bottles and have the satisfac-
tion of knowing it has cured thous
ands of hopeless cases. Asthma,
Bronchitis, La Grippe and all Throat,
Chest nnd Lung disease are surely
cured by it. Cull ou all Druggist,
and get a free trial bottle. Regular
size 60u ond $1. Every bottle guar
anteed. Failing of safety pervade the
household that uses one minute
oough cure, the only harmless reme
dy that produces immediate results.
It is infallible for coughs, colds,
croup and all throat and lung trou
bles. It will prevent consumption.
From the creation onward hath
man learned that for evil deeds there
must be an atonement, and that re
mose Is the sure follower of sin. To
time without end shall this remain
ns fixed as the laws of the Medes and
Persians. Just as surely shall
every wrong done to others, or to na
ture, pay its penalty as shall the stone
that Is cast Into the air fall again to
the earth. Even as the sons of m'hn
who hnve borne false witness shall
feel Impelled to sojourn in strange
lands, and far from their kindred, yet
also there shall their sins rise up
against them, and the mark of Cain
Iks recognized. Meanwhile the de
generate son who remnincth shall
perambulate the crooked ways of his
native heath, bewailing his past and
present association with evil and un
godly men, while In agony tearing
his hair he seeks consolation in appli
cation to himself of the text contained
in Luke 9: 68- May we In all kind
ness suggest to him as well as to
them that evil deeds- repented mid
confessed In projier spirit are half
atoned, and that this is the best meth
od by far to quiet an uneasy and ev
er accusing conscience, II.

Some Census Facts.
The populat'on of this country has
increased over thirteen millions In
the past ten years and the United
States is now in the second rank
among the worlds great powers. In
1800 it stood eighth and at the bottom
of the list in population. The census
shows that there are in round num
bers five million eight hundred thous
and separate farms in the United
States and territories and about six
hundred thousand nianufactur'mer
Institutions, an increase in ten years
of one hundred and fifty thousand
plants. The increase of manufactor
ies in the West and South has been
remarkable.
The center of population is in In
diana west of Columbus. In 1800 it
was 23 miles east of Baltimore and
has shifted almost due West at the
rate of 40 to CO miles each decade ex
cept from 1850 to 1800 when it moved
West by north 81 miles.
A trifle less than one-fourth of the
population of the whole country dwell
in 159 cities having 25,000 inhabitants
and over.
Rhode Island, the smallest of the
states, leads in density of population,
supporting 395 persons to the square
mile. She has less than two acres
of area to each inhabitant and in New
York and Pennsylvania then are
about four, Navada, with an area
more than twice as large as either of
these states, has 1,600 acres to each
inhabitant.
The C. . Convention.
The fourteenth annual convention
ot the Pennsylvania Christian En
deavor Union which met in Philadel
phia this week was largely attended
by delegates. This is a sign that the
organzation has a vital power which
is on the Increase in its influence for
good. The idea which was originat
ed by Rev. Francis E. Claik, D. D.,
pastor of a church in Portland, Me.,
and which had an original member
ship of less than fifty has spread rap
idly and with a fervent, peotent, spir
itual effort. In fifteen years the
movement had extended to nearly
every foreign country and missionary
land, was endorsed by thirty-two
Christian denominations, with over
forty-three thousand societies organ
ized and a membership of over two
and a half millions, which hus since
greatly increased. These associations
of young people endeavoring to up
lift themselves spiritually have be
come truly universal, their members
astonish, their councils and conven
tions are ecumenical and theorganiz'
atlon represents visibly a practical
union of Christianity w hich suggests
the vast good which may be inherent
in the united efforts of different secta
working iu harmony for a common
end.

Tobacco in;Lsw.
In a recent case In the United States
Supreme Court involving the valid
ity of a State law regulating the sale
of cigarettes in which the question
was whether cigarettes was an article
of commerce, associate Justice Brown
delivering the majority opinion hold
ing that they are, said: "Whatever
is an object of barter and sale Is an
article of commerce and must be so
recognized. Tobacco has been such
an article for 300 years. It has been
made the subject of taxation, and in
deed has become more widely scatter
ed than any other vegetable. Prob
ably no other vegetable has contribut
ed so much to the comfort and solace
of the human race." He also noticed
the claim that cigarettes are an es
pecially harmful form of tobacco, and
while conceding that this might be
the case, remarked that the claim
was of comparatively recent origin,
but they aie as much a subject of
State regulation as is liquor. The de
cesion sustained the Tennessee law.
