THE WASHINGTON LETTER.
fFrom Our Rfptilnr Corri-spnndent.)
Washington. D. C. Auo. B, 1901.
Those who hnd calculated upon
making democratic political cnpitnl
out of the Schley court of Inquiry,
because Schley happens to be a dem
nornt, are beginning to son Hint
thoir calculations will not bo real
ized. Tlio navy department would
linve boon glnd to hnvo ordered n
court of inquiry nt nny time within
the Inst throe yenrs bad Admirnl
Schley nsked for it, find now tint
the court is to be bold it will render
every official nid possible to Admir
nl Schley in order Hint light may be
. thrown upon the dark plnces in the
nnvnl cnmpnign which resulted in
tlio destruction of Cervern's fleet,
nnd if it bo shown Hist the depart
tnent wns wrong in its assumption
Hint Schley disobeyed orders with
out properly explaining his rensons
nnd Hint ho uisplnyed a lnck of
judgment nt n critienl period, no
where would there be more sntisf ac
tion than In the nnvy department.
Every record of the depnrtment has
lioen thrown open to Cnpt. Parker,
who is one of Schley's counsel, in
order Hint he mny bnve nccess to
every scrnp of official evidence flint
will be lnid befor'e the court. Judge
Advocate General Lemly of the
nnvy, who will bo judge advocate of
the Schley court of inquiry, bna
pone nwny on a vacation nnd will
not return until Sept. 1. His sub
ordinates will nrrango all the do
tails, such ns making a list of wit
nesses who will nppenr before the
court, etc.
Socretnry Gape is now the only
member of the cabinet in Washing
ton, the rest of the members, ex
cepting Secretary Wilson, who is
making a personal inspection of the
corn and wheat crop of the west,
being on vacation.
The United States Civil Service
Retirement association, an organi
zation formed a year or bo ago to
fioeure congressional legislation for
Hie retirement on half pay of figed,
infirm and incapacitated civil em
ployes of the government without
expense to the government, lias re
cently been reorganized and now
seems in a fair way to accomplish
something. While the association
doosn't figure on asking congress to
provide the money to pay the pen
sioned employes, the bill it will
have introduced will provide for
government control, collection and
expenditure of the pension fund,
whiah is to be obtained by deduct
ing a small percentage it is esti
mated that three per cent, will bo
sufficient from the salary of each
oivil employe of the government.
This plan stems to be free from the
objestions which have killed all
previous attempts to secure civil
pension legislation, and no good
reason for congressional opposition
has yet been brought forward. It
only proposes authority for govern
ment employes to do whnt the em
ployes of several big corporations in
this and other countries have been
doing for some time.
A communication declaring war
against the United States has been
received at the war department but
no call for troops has been issued
and no excitement is visible in
Washington. The loiter, wbiuh
was mailod in Chicago and which
might have been written by Dowie,
roads as follows :
"To tho Government of the Unit
ed States
"In tho year 1818 the Cod of This
Earth fought a battle with Spnin
with the use of the United States
Army and Navy under the com
mand of the Almighty God of
Heaven. The government officials
of America, although well aware of
that, undertook to rob the Almighty
God of Hie honor of the Battle and
induced their servants to turn down
the holy person of the God of This
Earth and brand him a liar and lun
atio and deprive biui of every means
of mukir.g a living in this country,
which in all is a conspiracy against
the government of the Almighty
God of Heaven. Therefore, the
Government of Almighty God is
compelled to Declare War I against
the United States of America and
punish that Gang of Conspirators as
they deserve. As Supreme Ruler
of the twenty four oldu-st races,
have raised iny Godly Government
f.ug over the International Flags of
the twenty-four oldest nations.
Yours,
God ov This Eaktu,
XU-prest-o ting the God of Heaven. "
Possibly there will come a time
when fcront battles will be fought
without noise j nt nny rnte, there
are men who think so. An officer
of the bureau of ordnance of the
wnr depnrtment snid on this sub
ject: "WTe have bad sevoral pro
posals by alleged inventors looking
towards the manufacture of u noise
less or soundless powder, but they
never camu to anything. None of
them had any samples to submit
and consequently no tests bnvo ever
been made of a soundless powder.
Every once in a while some one
thinks how nice it would bo if there
were n soundless powder nnd writes
to know if we would like to have
snob nn nrticlo, nnd Hint is ns far ns
it ever goes. Personally I do not
think it is possible to produce
such an article. All explosions pro
duce concussions, nnd concussions
produce sound waves."

Poetic Justice,
A Jcrseymnn, who went out for a
pleasure-drive with his sweetheart
not long ago, received a needod
though severe lesstthbn the necessity
of being linmnno to animals in this
day and generation. It was a very
hot day, rtud When the drive was
about half over the horse became
balky. The driver thereupon lost
his temper nnd gave the animal an
nnmetciful beating. Then the
trouble began. A constable saw
him and promptly arrested him for
oruelty to animals. He wns unable
to pay the money, nnd his compan
ion settled the business for him.
Then she went home and wrote him
a note, nnd. this is whnt it said:
When a man will so brutally beat
a horse and so easily lose his temper,
a woman marrying bim would take
the chance of the same trentmont."
And the rest of tho note released
him from the engagement.
Most people will be of the opinion
Hint the young lady iu question did
exactly right, nnd that she was
fortunnte in discovering the disposi
tion of her fiance before instond of
after mnrringe. Insonsibility to the
pain of another is not a trait which
is particularly desirable in either a
husband or a wife. While, of
course, it is not to be inferred that
every man who will beat his horse
will also boat his wife, cruelty to
animals so vitiates the moral nature
Hint those perceptions upon which
a sense of justice depends nre blunt
ed. Tho intimacy of marriage is so
close that happiness can only exist
whore there is mutual forbearance,
together with a certain sensitiveness
to the feelings of othors. The man
who does not possess this sensitive
ness mny not be actually cruol to
either wife or children, so far bb
physical maltreatment is concerned,
but he will sny and do things which
nre qnito as brutal as a blow with a
whip would be. There n dozen con
siderations which are likoly to re
strain from wife-beating the opin
ion of his neighbors, custom, fear
thnt his wife mny invoke the law,
fear of retaliation by her relatives,
or merely the fact that it is not ns
ual for American husbands to ex
press their sontiments in thnt way.
But if his nature is essentially cruel
he will find ways to torture those
dependent upon him whioh are
worse than physical pain. Tho true
test of a man's character is not to
be found in his aotions when he is
restrained by publio sentiment or
fear of consequences. He Is his
renl self when he is free to not, to
indulge meanness, or passion, or
cruelty, toward some oroature which
cannot retaliate and has no means
of defenco. The Jersoyman who is
the unenviable hero of the incident
above reoorded wns subjected to this
test, and apparently he failed. Ho
mny have hnd nil idea that by his
lnck of considorntion for his horse
he was showing a manly and stern
strength of character which would
impress tho girl In the seat beside
him. Some men have an idea tnnt
women rather admire those who are
capable of cruelty. These men are
trying to fit slxtoenth century ideas
into twentieth century civilization
It cannot be done. It is true that
women admire a bravo man, and
often the man ir. question is a sol
dier or a hunter, but there is a very
fine distinction between the brave
man and the man who is ready to
inflict pain. What the modorn girl
sees to admire in the soldier is not
his willingness to shoot other men,
but his readiness to be shot himself ;
not his murderous impulses, but
hia sacrifice of personal safety
The kind of woman who would like
a man better after seeing him act
cruelly toward a helpless animal
is not fit for a civilized country.

Laughter and Long- Life.
It may be Hint some enthusiastic
nnd laborious German statistician
has already accumulated fienrea
bearing upon the question of length
of life and its relation to the enjoy
ment thereof ; if so we nre unao
quninted with his results nnd yet
hnv9 a very decided notion thnt
people who enjoy life, cheerful peo
ple, nre also those to whom longest
life is given. Commonplace though
this sounds, there is no truth more
commonly ignored in netnnl every
day existence "Oh, yes. of course,
worry shortens life nnd the content
ed people live to be old," we nre nil
ready to sny, nnd yet how many
recognize the duty of cheerfulness?
Most persons will declare Hint if a
man is not cheerful he cannot make
himself so. Yet this is far from
being the case, and there is many a
man who is at present a weary bur-
don to his relatives, miserable
through the enrking enre of some
bodily ailment, perhaps, or some
worldly misfortune, who, if he bad
grown up into the idea that to be
cheerful under nil circumstances
was one of the first duties of life.
might still see a pleasant enough
world around him. Thackeray
truly remarked that the world is
for ench of ua much ns we show
ourselves to the world. If we face !
it with a cheery acceptance we find
the world fairly full of cheerful
people glnd to boo us. If we snarl
at it and abuse it wo may be sure of
abuse in return. Tho discontented
worries of a morose person may
very likely Bhorten his days, nnd
the general justice of nnture'a ar
rangement provides that his early
departure should entail no long re
grots. On the other hand a mini
who can laugh keeps hia health nnd
his friends are glnd to keop him. To
the porfectly healthy laughter comes
often. Too oommonly, though, ns
childhood is left behind the habit
fails, and a half-smile is the best
that visits the thought-lined mouth
of a modern man or woman. Peo
ple become more nnd more burden
ed with the accumulations of
knowledgo and with the weighing
responsibilities of life, ' but they
should still spare time to laugh.
Let them never forget, moreover,
and let it be a medical man's prac
tice to remind them thnt "a smile
sits ever serene upon the face of
Wisdom." London Lancet
While They Talk We Do Business,
The astronomers at the Court of
Spain in the fifteenth century proved
quite to their own satisfaction, first,
that the earth was not round, and
secondly, that, if it were, Columbus
could not sail around it or even half
way around it. But even while they
were proving this, Columbus went
ahead and did sail half way around
and discoverd a new world. The
Free-Trade press proves daily to its
own satisfaction that we can never
have an export worthy of the name;
that we cannot sell our goods to other
countries so long as we maintain our
Protective Tariff system and refuse
to let the rest of the world come in
and monopolize our home market;
and while they talk we go on selling
our goods to other countries to the
extent of more than a million dollars
worth a month. There Is nothing in
any way remarkable alwut this di
vergence between the facts and the
claims of the Free-Traders. We
have grown very familiar with Free
traders. We have grown very fain
iliar with Free-Trade arguments and
Free-Trade theories, which conform
to everything but facts. If the Free
Traders undertook to conform their
theories to facts, there wouldn't
tie any Free-Traders, and we would
be deprived of souio very interesting
fiction. So, perhaps, things are all
right as they are, especially as most
of the people of the United States are
too much occupied with the business
which they owe to our Protective
policy to pay much attention to what
the Free-Traders are saying.

The Greatest of Steamships.
Some idea can be obtained of the
dimensions of thel steamship Celtic,
which made her way slowly and
cautiously up the not oversafe chan
nel of New York harbor by stating
that her displacement tonnage Is 10,
300 tons more than that of the Great
Eastern, which was so great a mar
vel that thousands came to New
York city simply for the purpose of
seeing her. If the Celtic were placed
upon Broadway she would completely
fill that thoroughfare from side to
side, her upper deck would be on a
level with some of the higher busi
ness structures and her pennant would
reach to the eaves of some of the sky
scrapers. Furthermore, she would
reach from bow to stern the length of
some seven Broadway blocks. Her
trip across the Atlantic seems to have
demonstrated the accuracy of the
theory of some of the marine en-
gineers that great size, with propor
tionately large keels, will serve prac
tically to overcome, what has been
the chief discomfort of ocean travel,
the rolling of the ship. One of the
passengers informed the writer that
there was scarcely any rolling motion,
and that not once during the entire
trip was it necessary to use racks to
protect the dishes upon the dining
table. Some allowance, however,
must be made for the fact there were
no storms, or even strong winds up
on this passage.
The earning capacity of this gigan
tic vessel is yet to be demonstrated.
Her owners did not care to bring
over or to take back a heavy cargo
upon the first trip. If the Celtic
demonstrates that the greatest profit
is to be found in a comparatively
slow steamship, the Celtic being in
tended to make the passage In about
seven days, with an enormous
cargo capacity, then, in all proba
bility, that will become the preva
lent type, excepting that some of
the lines will build a few very fast
ships for passengers who can afford
to pay high rates and for freight
that will boar a heavy traffic charge.
What would happen were the Celtio
to meet with accident here involv
ing dry docking, must have been a
serious question for her owners.
There is nothing in the vicinity of
New York which could receive her,
and it is doubtful whether there ia
any dry dock on the American coast
that can float her. Philadelphia
