THE WASHINGTON LETTER.
(From Our Rngulnr Correspondent.)
Washington. D. C, April 22, 1901.
President MeKinloy has started
In on a very busy week, the Inst bo
will spend In Wnshlngton until fit
ter the middle of June. Thoro are
lots of iniKirtnnt mntters Hint must
be disposed of before lie starts on
his long trip, nnd in order to find
the time to do his part of the work
he has had to announce that ho
would see no callers except upon im
portant public business. It can
hardly be said that the committee
from the Culian Constitutional Con
vention nro on important public
business, so useless is their trip to
Washington, but President Mc
Kinloy has promised to see them
and he will do so. It will not take
long for him to say nil he hn9 tosny
to them, tie has had a talk with
Gen. Wood, who came ahead of the
Cubans, and who had previously
told them about the same thing tliat
tlie Presidout will say to them. By
special Appointment President Me
Kinley will receive the two new
Senators from Nebraska. Senator
Diedtricb he knows very well, hut
he will meet Senator Millard for the
first time.
Gen. MacArthurcablos that Agnin
nldo'rt . manifesto acknowledging
American sovereignty ol the Phil,
ippines has been well received an
that he has no doubt it will very
shortly put an end V all armed re
sistance to our authority ; also that
the petty frauds in the comissnry
department at Manila, which have
been so greatly magnified in this
country, nro being thoroughly in
vettigated. Judge J. W. Dimmlck, the Ala
bama memlier of the Republican
National Committee, who is now in
Washington, said of the political
outlook : "The republican nominee
for the Presidency in 1904 will un
doubtedly figure prominently in the
congressional campaign of next year.
Thus far there has been absolutely
no sentiment expressed in the south
about candidates, so far as I know.
I do not believe President Mc
Kinloy will try in the least to in
fluence the selection of his repub
lican successor, but inherently, whe
ther he will or not, his administra
tion is certain to have no small pow
er in naming the man so far as the
South is concerned. Mr. McKinley
has done marvels for the South
since he became President nnd dem
ocrats as well as republicans recog
nize the fact."
The Department of Agriculture
observed Arbor Day to-day by for
mal exercises, including an address
by Seorotary Wilson and the plant
ing of trees in the grounds of the
Department, one, an oak, being nam
ed in honor of Hon.' Jeremiah M.
Rusk, former Secretary of Agricul
ture. Secretary Wilson believes
this official example is the best way
to encourage the gonoral observation
of Arbor Day by tree planting
through the oountry, and he intends
to speak it annually.
Secretary Root has had a new
Cuban problem presented for his
consideration, and it is a knotty one,
too. When the Foraker amendment
prohibiting the granting of public
franchises in Cuba during ita oocu
panoy by the U. 8 military author
ities went through Congress, almost
without opposition, there was a
special enactment, intendod for the
benefit of the sugar plantations and
other industries, permitting the
owners cf land in Cuba to build
railroads thereon without govern
ment permission. Taking advantage
of that, a wealthy syndicate, mostly
Canadians, headed by Sir William
Van Home, bought a strip of land
two hundred miles long, between
Santa Clara and Santiago, and
started ilio construction of a rail
road. There was no trouble about
gottir.g right of way across the jur
isdictions of the several Cuban
municipalities along ita route, their
right, in that direction having been
left them, but it was soon discover
ed that the railroad could not cross
a publio highway without consent
of this government; Sir William
Van Home spent several days in
Washington trying to secure that
consent. The Cubans are anxious
that this railroad tdinnlil be com
pleted, but Socretury Root is in
doubt whether giving the consent
of this government to the crossing
of the publio highways by the rail
r.xul would be a violation of the
Jboiaki r imti -franchise amendment.
At t.s ny General K uox has been
(iih.'.l U.. hi to assist lu solving the
Cubical.
The fiscal year ending June 30,
1901, promises to bent the record in
the vnluo of our exports. Last year
they reached the enormous amount
of $1, "9 1, 000,000, bit the experts of
the Treasury Btirenn of Statistics
are certain that it will he largely
exceeded this year nnd confident
that the amount will go beyond a
billion and a hnlf dollars. At the
close of March, the gain on last year
was more than $8(1,000,000. In this
year's increase the farmers of the
country are the chief beneficiaries,
their products showing n greater
percentage of incrense thnn those of
the manufacturers, while last year
and the year before the manufac
turers were the largest gainers.
With this showing, added to the
fact that this government now owns
more troll thnn it ever owned be
fore and more than nny other gov
ernment in the world's recorded
history over owned, surely repub
licans have n right to feel proud of
their administration, their Congress
and their party.
Senator Frye, who has just re
turned from a visit to San Domingo,
where he went, for a rest, said of
thnt island: "We do not want Ban
Domingo not even as n gift. The
natives think we do, however.
They are suspicious of everything
that nil American does. It would
be a good thing for them, but n bad
thing for us, if we took over the
oountry. Tlie officials of San Do
mingo are a fine lot. There are
ten in every place where one would
ho sufficient. They have no modern
improvements and don't seem to
want to advance."

FADS OF PEDAGOGY.
At tho recent meeting of the Stnte
Teachers' Association in Newark,
N. J., there wns a great Blinking up
of dry bones, and Among the ad
dresses none excited more favorable
comment thnn that of Comptroller
Coler, of New York City, who,
among other things, said :
"The public school system is now
in the throes of . experimental
transition from nn established order
to a possible betterment or danger
ous retrogression. In ninny of our
large cities the public schools hnve
boon converted into incubators of
every new fad of pedngogy. Every
person with a new theory of teach
ing wants to test it on the children,
who nre helpless to escape the ex
periment. "While the pay of the class-room
teacher, the teacher of the good old
three R's, has remained stationary
or been reduced, the specialist in
fads has beoome one of the best
pnid individuals in light employ
ment in the country. Recent legis
lation in New York mnde the pay of
certnin principals nnd specinl teach
ers in the public schools greater
than that of most professors in the
leading universities in the country,
while it left the class-room teach
ers, those who must plan and shape
the foundation for all renl educa
tion, with salaries little above what
the city pays untrained nnd un
skilled clay labor. Such legislation
is not only wrong, it is infamous,
and if persisted in it will defeat the
real purpose for which enormous
school tuxes nre pnid.
"We have built fine schools, em
ployed high-priced tendliers, we
have added high schools, we have
introduced music, art and delsnrte,
we have tested all the fads and
fancies of modern pedngogy ; but
we go ou turning out into the world
at the tender age of 15 years the
partially taught nine boys nnd girls
of the pcor, while the careless, in
different tenth boy or girl of the
well-to-do is coddled or smuggled
through the higher Bourses, that
we may 'point with pride' to the
size of our graduating classes."
Mr. Coler believes in holding
closely to the "three R's," because
the average pupil in the Bchools has
to go out in the world nnd begin to
work for a living at about fifteen
yenrs of age. Instead of bolng well
informed in arithmetic pupils leave
school with a smattering of algebra,
are poor renders and worse spellers.
This is the result of adopting the
theory that all ' school children
are to remain in attendance from
six to eighteen years of age. The
studies nre systematically arranged
so that no part is oomplote until the
twelve school years are ended.

Advantages of Broad Tires.
We see much talk ot good roads,
but they will never be made perma
nent until wide tires are more uni
versally used. It is not, however,
en the publio highway that wide
tires are most advantageous. It is
on the fields, through the lanes and
about the barnyard where they
prove of the greatest value. The
Stnte Agricultural Collego of Mis
souri found that ou blue grass sward
3,218 pounds polled as easily on
three inch tires as 2,000 pounds ou
1J inch tires. In a part of New
York state wide tires reduced the cost
of hauling 20 per cent ; but the sav
ing of draft is not the ouly advan
tage of the wide tires, for narrow
tires cut ruts that can be seen across
the fields for a whole season, and
each one of these ruts serves as a
ditch, which after rain carries off
the soluble part of all manure aud
other fertilizers. National Stock
