THE WASHINGTON LETTER.
(Krmn Our Kegnlar Correspondent.)
WASHINGTON. I). C, JllLV 1, 1901.
President McKinloy has received
many congratulations on t.ho inaug
uration of civil government in the
Philippines, l)tit it is piobible that
none of them Imvo leen more n p
prooiated 1 li 11 it tlmt. personally ex
tended liy Prof. Jacob Sehurman,
Prosidont of Cornell University, who
wns nt the head of the llrHt Philip
pine commission, end who knows
tho Filipinos ns well us ar.y other
tnnn in this country. I'rof. Shnr-
man thinks tlmt the civil govern-
tnont will work smoothly in the
provinces over which it is to ho ex
tondod to tho moro civilized sections
of tho island for n long time to conn .
Tills is Undo Hum's business New
Ynnr's day. Tho fiscal yeiir just
closed hns boon prosperous with the
government as well as with tho peo
ple, and although the expenditures
have boon largo, there was a sur
plus in round figures of $78,000,(100.
Nothing that has occurred in the
Houth for some time hns attracted
more attention in Washington than
tho address of Hon. Hilary A. Her
bert, who was a democratic Con
grosman previous to being Cleve
land's Secretary of tho Navy, before
the State Bar Association of Ala
bama, taking the ground that a new
departure in politics is necessary to
the welfare of tho South, and strong
ly endorsing the republican policy
of expansion and the Supreme Court
Decision upholding the same. This
address proves that tho business in
terests of the South believe in many
of the cardinal principles of tho re
publican party and stand ready to
cast thoir inflnnnce in favor of the
continuation and porpetuatinn of
those principles is based upon hard
plain facts, and that In denying It,
the democratic leaders of the South
have either wilfully mistaken facts,
or have boon densely ignorant of ex
isting sentiment among those they
claim to represent.
Secretary Wilson is very proud of
tho success of the Department of
Agriculture in improving the quali
ty of American tobacco, and predicts
that in a year or two, wo will grow
all the tobacco used by us except a
email quantity of fine cigar filler
which cannot bo grown outside of
the tropics, and that our exports of
tobacco will continue to increase
right along.
There is ono excellent reason why
noithor Prosidont McKinloy nor
Soc'yRoot will bo likely to favor tho
adoption of tho reccommendation of
(Ion. Miles to ordor one-half of the
small foroo of about 5,000 soldiors,
we now have in Cuba, home at once.
We nro responsible for the preser
vation of law and ordor in Cubn,
and it would be taking unnecessary
chances to reduce our forces until
after tho exciting campaign the Cu
bans are likely to have for tho elec
tion of the officials of that republic
ia over. It would be a temptation
to the disorderly eloment to resort
to methods li. attempting to carry
their plans through that fiey will
not now dare to use. Those who
are best acquainted with the situa
tion iu Cuba, believe it would be
very unwise to withdraw any more
troops until after the Cuban govern
ment is on its foot, so to speak. The
first consideration of President Mo
Kinley and Secretary Iloot, is to see
that tho Cuban government is prop
erly established, and that it uhall bo
of the stable, not the mushroom
sort. It is natural enough that the
officers and men on duty in Cuba,
should desire to return home, and
that they should utilize all their in
fluence to get ordered back, but there
is something much more important
to be considered in the matter than
the desire of our soldiers.
Senator Scott of West Virginia
denies in tho most positive manner,
that he wrote any letter, for him
self or for the Republican National
Commit tee, to Gen. Sickles or to
anyone else promising that Presi
dent McKinloy would appoint an.
other Commissioner of Pensions af
ter his second inaugration, because
neither be nor the committees had
any authority from the President
to make any such promise. He
added that he might have expressed
the porsouul opinion, which was at
the time held by him, that Commis
sioner Evans would not remain at
the head of the Pension Bureau.
His letter to Gen. Sickles boars out
(Ue latter claim. It is nut expected
tlmt. President McKinloy will do
anything in this matter for a time.
President McKinloy and the entire
Cabinet endorsed the project of Sec
retary Hitchcock to organism a for
estry 'bureau iu the Department o1"
Intel ior, to carry out an extensive
system of reforestralioii, along lines
similar to thoso whioli have been
successfully followed in Germany,
and Secretary Hitchcock will nt once
start the work, which ho believes
will result in restoring in a few
years tho rapidly disappearing
forests of the country.

0BITUART.
MHB. BAM.Y JANR KVKKITT.
Some additional facts rnlnMvw to
the life of this vonornblo lady who
recently died at Hainesvillo, N. J.,
may be of interest.
She was the second daughtor of
James Brittain and Mary Foster
Armstrong and was born March 1,
1819, on the homestead farm now
occupied by Gaorge Armstrong, the
only snrviving member of a family
of fourteen children. In March,
1836, she married John Finch nnd
they moved to Milford iu the house
now ooenpied by Moses Davis. Her
husband was connected with a tan
nery business then carried on in the
tannery situated just in the rear of
the house. Here her three children,
Virginia, Finch, McCarty, Mary
Armstrong Finch and Coe Finch,
were born. After the death of her
husband she returned to her fathers
home in Montague, whero she resid
ed until her marriage to tho late Al
len Evoritt in 1SG1, who owned and
occupied the farm now iu posses
sion of her grandson, Jacob MnCarty.
By this marriage thore were three
children, only one of whom, Ella,
wife of B. B. Hnrsh, now also de
doused, survived thoir infancy. She
was the eldest member of the R'f'd
church of Montague, having been
received on its membership about
63 years ago.
MISS COKA LF.IDRL.
Aftor a protracted illness, Cora,
only daughter of Christian and Jane,
Cummings, Lnidel, died at her home
in Dingman township, just across
the borough line, early last Sunday
morni.ig. Her condition for months
has been precarious and she at
length became blind and helpless.
She wns exceedingly industrious and
frugal iu her habits a nda great con
solation to her parents, who will
have the sympathy of the com
munity nt being bereft of an only
child. The fnnerul, conducted by
Rev. C. E. Scuddor, was held Tues
day nnd interment in Milford ceme
tery.
Rolnnd Lloyd, nged about 28 years,
eldest son of W. R. and Margaret
A. Willis of New York, who is woll
known, having spent several
summers here, died at his city home
last Saturday of pneumonia. Some
time since he met with an neccident
in getting off a car in which his
spine was injured and ho was other
wise bruised, this brought on com
plications which caused his death.
He was a bright young man and his
family have the warmest sympathy
of friends in their bereavement.
Benjamin Hearst, a resident of
Westfall township, died last, week
after 1. brief illness. Ho leaves a
large family of orphan children, his
wife having died some time pre
viously. As to 8unday Fiehing.
While the new fish law contains
no prohibition against Sunday fish
ing, and repeals the law 1878 so far
as the sections relate to fish,, yet as
it contains only the one subject in
its title, the Sunday section may
not be repealed. The act of 1878
concluded with a general repeal of
previous acts. Now it is a well
settled principal of law that when nn
act which repeals a prior act is itself
repealed, this repeal revives the
prior act, except so far ns its pro
visions are supplied by tin latter
act. The 16th section of tho act of
1876 is the same as section 17 of the
act of '78 so if the new law repeals
the Sunday Ashing clause of the act
of '78 it may revive the clause pro
hibiling it of the act of 1876. The
courts will like'y have to settle this
question.
