THE WASHINGTON LETTER.
f Prniu Our Kogulnr Correspondent )
Washington. I). O., Skit. 2, 1001.
Around iuu hotol lobbies tho only
political topic tlmt nffords any in
terest centers n round Inking chances
on what democratic state conven
tions will rnpudinto By run nnd tho
Kansas City platform. So far there
la quite n unanimity lu that direo
tioti, with just onough of 11 differ
ence of oiiinion to nmko nn inherent
wonkuoss In tho democratic ranks.
Next to Hint, Wnshingtonians are
watching tho constitutional roi
volition of Virginia now being held
in Richmond. Tho republican or
ators up to tho presont time lmve
had the right of woy and have nn
moro'.fully scored tho doinocrntio
party, particularly on its advocacy
of no suffrage for negroes. Speeches
have been mado that have never
been equaled for thoir severity of
arraignment, the democracy having
boon accused of political tyranny of
tho worst sort and of fraudulent
election methods. The democratic!
party is now attempting to disfran
chise the negro by a clause in the
constitution and already propose to
submit this new stato constitution
for a vote of adoption by tho people,
excluding the colored inon from vot
ing on a document thnt is aimed to
deprive them of the rights of citi
wnship. There is a lotlmrgio reaction and a
general fooling of disgust arising
from the persistent efforts of the
yellow journals to make political
capital out of the Schley court of in
quiry. Most, persons who have
anything at all to say on the matter
regret the widespread advertise
ment that the papors have given to
the caso, and echo the sentiment of
Chaunooy Depow, who has just re
turned from Europe. IIo regrets it
on account of the serious reflection
on our navy. In Kuropo, be Bays,
it is hurting tho reputation of the
American navy among oirclos which
formerly had groat admiration for
It. The vlotories over Bpniu, tho
remarkable run of the Oregon from
the Paoiflo to Cuba, and perhaps
more than all the value sot on the
naval writings of Captain Alfred T.
Mahan have made nil Europe look
on our navy with much respect.
But now these internal dissensions
are dividing opinion.
If there is one thing more than
another that is distinctive of Wash
ington, and especially in the sum
mer, it is tho great freedom from
restraints imposed by fear of moles
tation that womon have on the
streets. They are troatod with nn.
failing courtosy and consideration
at all honrs of the day and night.
One of the poouliorly bountiful
sights of tho city comes from the
number of womon on the streets in
tin) evening bareheaded and in the
daintiest of summer dresses. They
go about unescorted and as uncon
cerned as if on their own ln-vns.
But this Washington chivalry re
ceived a rude shock a few nights
ugo when two young women were
accosted by a oonple of men while
they were on a street car returning
from one of the city's most ro fined
suburban resorts. The men made
some blighting remarks, frightening
the two womon, one of whom was
hurt in attempting to get off the car
to escape from her tormentors.
Next morning the men were in tho
police court, where a heavy flue
was imposed. Iu passing on the
caso the judgo said : "Washington
stands pro-emiucnt among the cities
of the United States as a place
whore ladies may go on the street
cars and publio highways without
dnngor of being insulted by block
guards, and the oourt i going to
uphold the reputation of the city in
this rosjieot. "
Much interest centers about the
possibilities in the case of Jose
Abreu, the first Filipino to hold a
government office in this country,
lie is employed as a clork iu the
bureau of insular affairs of the war
department. lie has been an insur
gent, and as one of Aguinaldo's of
ficers opposed the Amorican farces
in the Philippines. Now, however,
lie bus the ooufldonce of the depart
ment to tho fullest extent. Those
who see bim on the streets of Wash
ington aa a small and slender gen
tleman in American clothes, but
with an undeniable Oriental np
poaranne, find it bnrd to reconcile
bis present looks and occupation
VitU bis former known ability as aa
I Intrepid leader nnd fighter. His
father wns also nn Insurgent, but is
now n lender of the federal pnrty in
the Island. Mr. Abren, the now
clerk, is a linguist of extraordinary
ability, and a chun student of tho
law. lie will be of greiit assistance
to the dep.-i ri ini'iit on account of bis
familiar and intimate knowledge of
the islands and their customs. At
present bo is working on a geo
graphical gazetteer of the Philip
pines and his acquaintance with tho
various provinol il dialects is of par
ticular value.
Acting Surgeon (lunnral Forwood
of tho army has just received a ro
port of the medical depwtment of
tho Philippino forces. "Johnny be
hind the gun" is exceptionally
hoalthy, as army health goes, and
the number of sioknosses hns de
creased rapidly under strict sanitary
regulations. Enteric and malaria!
fevers are most to bo feared, but the
small porcontngo of "non-effectives"
to the entire fighting strength is so
low that it is plain those diseases
are not making any serious ravages
among the troops. A romarkablo
fact brought out by tho report is
tb'it bent stroke, generally so much
fonrediuthe tropics, is practically
unknown in tho Philippines. Men
of ton drop out on the march, tem
porarily overcomo by tho heat, but
a fatal stroke is very rare indeed.
Don't Get Excited.
The butraboo of a European nlli
nnoe ngninst American goods loads
some folks to think wo must do
something or other and that may bo
we can got out of It by enacting tho
reciprocity treaty with France
Their position reminds us of the
"debilitated cousin" in Oiokons'
story of "Bleak House." A murder
had boon committed and the astute
Inspeotor Bucket had arrested o
man whom he know to be innocent
in ordor to throw tho real culprit off
her guard. Hearing of the arrest
the fatigued young man said :
"Better hang him. Bottor hang
wrong feller than no feller."
Anything for a sop to a hungry
tiger is the idea with these recipro-
oators, even though It be the child
ren's dinner. But we didn't got
excited ; the tigor is not at large nor
very hungry any way. We will
make sure first that the children's
dinner shall not be thrown away
in terror of any tigor real or imag
inary. And this allegory is com
mended to all whom it may concern.

HICKS ON SSPTFMBEB.
The Weather Prophet Hakes His
Fiedictions for Meet Month'.
Rov. Ira Hicks, the. weather pro
phot who predicted the woather for
August with roinarknble noenracy,
prophesies variable weather for
September. The autumnal equinox
central on the 22nd, covers the
whole month with its perturbing in
fluonoe, he asserts lu his forecast,
and as a result storms and changes
peculiar to the season are apt to
break out at any time and sure to
break out at some time during
the transitions of the seasons to op
posite ends of the globe, or in the
equinoctial period proper.
Warm and dry periods will pro
vail throughout September. The
first regular storm period will lie
from the 10th to 13th. "In all
probability general rain storms,
gales and changes of weafher will
visit the interior of the continent at
this time, as well as the const re
gion." The reactionary storm period,
central about the 16th and 17th, will
bring perceptible changos to storm
conditions, but more general and
energetic disturbances are almost
oertain to result during the Vulcan
storm period, central on the 22nd,
ooinoi lent with the centre of earth's
autumnal "equinox." The final
storm period reaches from the 26th
to 30th.
Glancing ahead Into the weather
conditions of 1902, Rev. Hicks be
lieves that we shall not pass out of
this period of "minimum" precipi
tation with a bound, but that "a
shortage in general rains, to a less
destructive extent," will be charac
teristic of the coming year. . He
believes that the "rain belt" which
touohed the extreme north in 1900,
and moved further south in 1901,
will advance further southward in
1902, but that the rainfall will not
be excessive even there, and that the
central and southern parts of the
country will have another summer
of shortage of rainfall.

MABEL.
The Ballot and the Bullet.
It is no special credit to be a fight
er. Plug-uglios beat philosophers
in fighting ; and the logio of the
argument is amusing, when the fact
is, that our rogulor Army, our pro
fessional fighters, cannot vote nt all,
except by special oct of congress.
Our fighting is done by paid sol
diers. Women help to pay them,
and had we a voice in the nation
there would bo few wars, for a
strong nation can preserve poaoe.
For every fighter some woman has
fought with death, she has been his
quartermaster, commissary, sur
geon, nurse, chaplain, drill-major
for years, and it is simple justioe
that he should protect his mother
without depriving her of what he
would readily grant to his enemy
when conquered, self-government
If women had the ballot, they would
quell quarrels among big boys as
they now do among small ones, but
if not, what sense is there in dis
franchising because the cannot, or
will not, fight, and enfranchising
paralytics.'tbe halt, the maimed and
the blind? Sarah M. Severance.
American Locomotive Triumphs.

American locomotives over the

the unfavorable verdict upon our
