THE WASHINGTON LETTER.
From Our Rngnlnr CorrexponoVnt )
Washinotoh, D. C. Auo. 2(5, 1001.
In the effort to make political cnp
itnl out of thu Schley court of in
quiry much rot of the most ridicu
lous sort is being dully sent from
Washington, and the correspond
ents whose papers demand sensa
tional matter lire aiding without
caring anything about partisan poli
tics. There is DO politics in the
case. Many of Admiral Schley's
strongest and outspoken partisans
nro republicans of national promi
nence. There is only one question
to be settled by the court, and that
is whether Schley performed his
duty during the naval campaign
against Spain as he should have
done. A great rumpus was kicked
vip because Acting Secretary Haek
ett referred Schley's request ss to
Rear Admiral Howison's responsi
bility for a newspaper interview to
the conrt instead of to Howison,
and lie was charged with having
been actuated by animosity toward
Schlev. As a matter of cold, hard
fact he only followed rule and pre
cedent. That Mr. Hackett had not
been actuated by animosity toward
Schley in any of the preliminary
work of the court of inquiry was
shown when he requested Judge
'Advocate Lemlv to cut his vacation
short and return to Washington, in
order that Admiral Schley's counsel
might be furnished with a list of
the navy department witnesses
which they asked for last week and
which is the duty of Capt. Leraly to
prepare. They will receive the list
early this week.
There will be nothing ornnmontal
about the room in which the Schley
court of inquiry will hold its sit
tings, except possibly a few draped
flags. It is the second floor of the
new gnnners' work shop just finish
ed in the Washington navy yard.
It is a largo room about 50x200 feet
with bare btlck walls and will bo
used as a workshop as Boon as the
court gets through with it. In one
comer a small room will be parti
tioned off for the court to use when
it desires to go into executive sea
aion, and in another corner tele
graph instruments will be put in for
. the nse of the newspaper corre
spondents. About half the space
will have chairs for the spectators,
who will be admitted by cards.
This will be a mere formality as the
car 8 will be easily obtained.
According to Mr. B D. Norton!, a
Missouri lawyer now visiting Wash
ington, the anti-Bryon democrats
have obtained control of the party
machinery in that state. To quote
his own words : "The gold demo
crats have secured control of the
party machinery in our state, en
couraged undoubtedly by the atti
tude of Governor Dockery, and they
will swing things against Bryan
when the proper time comes."
That business in the Philippines
is improving by jumps and bounds
is shown by a comparative stat.
ment of imports and exports issued
by the war department for two per
iods of seven months ending Jan.
31, 1901, and Jan. 31, 1900. Exclu
sive of United States qnortorniaster
supplies, the figures show an in
crease of 42, almost double, in the
imports of the island, nnd of 52;
more than double, in the exports.
The United States did not get as
much of this business as it should,
but the increase in our sale to the
island was 68'. Thera was a slight
falling off in the value of what the
island sold the United States. It
must be remembered, however, that
our trade with the islands is com
paratively new. All of the old es
tablished business bouses on the is
lands have either European or Asi
atic connections, and the people
have got to be educated up to the
advantage cf using American goods
and of selling their products through
houseo with Amoricuu connections.
The wedges are in and it will, be
strange, indeed, if within a few
years we do not control the bulk of
the Philippine trade.
Thore was no surprise in the
treasury department when a tele
gram was received Baying that W.
V. Hoey, collector of customs of No
fculuH, Ariz., and his entire force of
clurks hud been arrested for smug
gling Chinese from Mexico into the
United States. The surprise came
Home time ago when the suspicion
that the collector was guilty of the
biuuijgliiij was first reported. Since
then the arrests hav-ebeon constant
ly expected. Mr Hoey came from
Muneie, Ind., and when he was ap
pointed about a year and a half ngo,
Secretary Onge cautioned him to
avoid all temptations to wrongdo
ing because irregularities had caus
ed his predecessor's removal. The
collector's office at Nodules will bo
in charge of a special agent of the
treasury until a new collector is ap
pointed, which will probably not bo
until after President McKinley re
turns to Washington,
Secretary Root has returned from
his vacation and resuinod his duties,
lie found everything moving
smoothly in the war department,
Col. Sanger having proved n most
efficient acting secretary. Thore is
no truth in the sensational publica
tion alleging that important original
dispatches relating to the Cuban
campaign and which will have a
bearing on the Schley inquiry were
missing from the files of the de
partment. Secretary Hay, who niado a flying;
visit to Canton lust week, suys that
both the President and Mrs. McKin
ley wore looking unusually well and
wore enjoying their quiet stay
among old friends ond neighbors.
Secretary Hay will rejoin his family
in New Ilumpshiro and remain
there until cool weather.
Poor Farm Seeds.
A bulletin just issued by the de
partment of agriculture of Pennsyl
vania is devoted to an investigation
of the quality of seeds supplied in
this stato by dealers and others
elsewhere. The object was to test
the seeds obtained and ascertain os
to their purity, life and truth to
name. It shows that there are
many careless and unscrupulous
dealers who handle untestod seeds,
and in the purchase of them the
farmer unwittingly pays an enor
mous price, and then at harvest
time wonders why the lord gave
him weeds instead of clovor. The
seeds wore obtained of 57 difforent
merchants in 23 different towns
and wore grown in 8 states. Thore
were 243 samples. The tests proved
that in some cases considering the
amount of gorminable seed in a
bushel of clover the farmer was
paying at the rate of $217.39 a
bushel. Weed seeds were abundant
in many samples and mostly so in
the clovers.
In vogotable seeds such as onion,
sweet corn and cauliflower, the
cauliflower was found to contain
a large proportion of cabbago seed j
the onion seed contained also tim
othy, clover and cabbage ; of the 25
corn samples three fell below the
standard of germination, one being
as low ns 53 per cent. The prices
varied greatly and in no manner
corresponded with the gorminativo
power of the seeds. There wero
found thirty-five different kinds of
weeds represented in the seeds ex
amined. The conclusion reached is that
there are farm seeds placed on sale
that are exceedingly poor and even
worthless, and it was ooncluded
that even with these tests the worst
conditions of the matter were not
reached. Some law that will pre
vent the sale of inferior seeds is
suggested, such as requiring every
seed producer or dealer to affix to
every package or bulk of grasses,
clovers and other forage plauts a
guarantee stating the percentage of
purity and vitality, and that all
vegetable seods be marked with the
year of the growth. Such a law
might drive out inferior soeds and
cause greater care in cleaning seeds.
The farmer might havo to pay a
higher price but in the end such
seed would be far cheapei than the
low-pricod which he now buys and
uses.

Pet Animnl..
It lins sometimes boeu argued that
the keeping of pet animals Is one way
to develop the humane instincts of
people In general. Like other prac
tices, how ever, thin one is good only
when It Is not abused, as It frequent
ly is. When one considers the num
ber of miserable little beasts yearly
trapped, captured, and bred In cages
for the amusement of mankind, It
seems ns if some better method of
amusement might be devised.
Of course, there are people who
make friends and companions of their
pets, and although nobody can be
al)soIuteIy certain about animal psy
chology, It may be that the dog,
horse or bird derives nn amount of
pleasure from contact with the super
ior mind which more than repays the
loss of freedom. In the case of a
highly bred dog or a saddle-horse it
is almost certain that this isso. But
these nre in the minority when the
whole number of domestic animals Is
considered.
In the first place, It is certainly
cruelty to take a wild creature out
of its natural environment and place
it in a cage where it can have little
exercise, no natural companionship,
and often no suitable food. It Is en
tirely possible for people living in a
country town or small village to tame
squirrels, birds and other wild things
without In the least interfering with
their freedom, If they choose to use a
little patience. Most wild animals
will come where they are not afraid
of being hurt. The red squirrel can
be coaxed to come from his hole and
eat corn from the hand of a human
being, nnd birds of nil kinds are eas
ily tamed In the same way. One
who has once enjoyed the delight of
winning the confidence of the wood
folk will never again wish to keep
any of them In a cage.
The animal which is bred for the
purpose or domestication, like the
hip-dog, the Persian cat, the white
mouse, or the canary, is usually in
ferior In intelligence to the wild an
imal, for the very good reason that it
does not need as much brains to be
fed, petted and put to sleep as to get
one's living In the midst of a throng
of enemies. There are two ways,
however, in which the keeping of
these animals can be made beneficial
to children and adults. One is by
making companions of them, de
veloping all the intelligence they
have, nnd the other is by choosing
pet3 of a sort whose intelligence is
already considerable. Children
should be encouraged to be kind to
their pets and to make friends with
them, and this cannot be done unless
there Is intelligence on the other side.
If the comfort and well-being of ani
mals is studied it will be good for the
master as well as the pet, for altruism
generally works in that way, but
candor will compel most people to
admit that nothing of the kind is
usually done.

The Act Unconstitutional.
Judge Edwards of the Lackawan-
na county courts has rendered a
decision that the bioyole sidepath
act of 1899 is unconstitutional. The
act provided for the construction
and maintenance of sidepaths along
highways nnd levying a tax on
bicycles. The judge in his opinion
says: "The actissounconstitutional
that we are surprised it passed the
legislature and the scrutiny of the
law department or the state govern
ment. Its enactment was undoubt
edly due to a laudable desire on the
part of the legislature to serve the
interests of the whoolmen of the
state nnd to secure good roads. In
following the decisions of several
other judges who have doclared the
act unconstitutional, we do not wish
to be understood as deciding that
the purpose and subject-matter of
the act are not within the purview
of tho constitution. It is lawful to
tax bioyoles and it is lawful to nse
the money raised by Buch taxation
in providing sidepaths and in the
improvement of the publio roads of
the commonwealth ; but the work
must be done by saoh officers as are
recognized by our orgnuio law, or,
at least, it cannot be delegated to
anybody in the face of a constitu
tional prohibition."

Crop reports are more favorable.
Late corn has greatly improved and
indications are that the prospective
yield will be largely increased. Po
tatoes are promising a much better
yield than anticipated and buck
wheat will be good. 'Apples will be

are excellent. Pouches will be
plentiful but not of extra quality.
On the whole the prospect is much
more favorable for farmers than
was anticipated a few weeks ago.

A Pleasant Evening.
A very enjoyable dance was given
by Mrs. Bradford at Woodtown on
Wednesday evening, August 21st, In
honor of her young lady boarders.
The dance was musical In more
senses than one, the instrumental
being represented by the Misses
Disch and Miss Bessie Scanlon, and
the vocal by Senor de Rialp's party
and Miss Maude May who obliged
them with several medley selections.
Quite a numler of eligible young
men were present and the young
ladies had ample opportunity to prac
tice their wiles on the artless country
men who were present. Mr. Ed.
Corson's skillful manipulation of th j
violin made the evening pass very
swiftly and It was with a sigh of re
gret that the merry party broke up
in the wee sma' hours of the morn
ing The rooms were tastefully
decorated with golden rod and ferns
and over the dining hall entrance a
large sign of "Welcome" done in
Immortelles made everybody feel
quite at home. The dining hall
was thrown open for the dancers and
the parlor, which was decorated in
pink and white, served as a sitting
out room. Grandma Kindles made
herself quite beloved dispensing
lemonade and sweeties among the
dancers. Over fifty; people were
present, the majority being young
men who made good use of their
time with the many charming young
ladies present.
Will Not Submit.
London trade journals are prema
turely rejoicing over the prospect of
a Tariff warfare between Germany
and the United States. This rejoic
ing of the third party is inspired by
the confident belief that the Reich
stag will pass the Government Tariff
bill. But the vigorous agitation
that bas sprung up among the Ger
man masses over some of the mon
strous provisions of this bill espec
ially the barbarous increase of duties
on breadstuffs and meats is not
likely to be without a powerful effect
upon the Reichstag. The German
manufacturers and merchants who
are interested iu the export trade
will not submit to the agrarian Tar
iff without an energetic struggle.
