THE WASHINGTON LETTER.
President Roosevelt is Retting very j
weary of the continued importunities
of congncssmen mid politicians who;
desire government appointments for
their friends or constituents. He is
n warm advocate of civil service and
does not propose to make any changes
in the government service for exclu
sively partisan reasons. Neither
will he sulimit the mcmlers of his
cahinet to the inconvenience of mak
ing changes in their departments for
the purpose of creating positions for
Ids own or for congressional proteges.
These facts he has been expressing
suavely, hut firmly, to the host of
callers that have been neseiging him
for patronage, but the seige continues
anil in a way to tell upon the most
stoical patience, end patience, it is
said, does not go with the president's
alleged temperament. Already he
has announced that he will receive
no callers after 1 p. m. as he desires
o devote the afternoons to the
preparation of his message, which he
hopes to get well under way before
he leaves for Yale college commence
ment where he goes to take his degree
as doctor of law on the 2:ird inst.
It is more than likely that he will be
obliged to deny himself to the public
to an even greater extent and refuse
to see all visitors for a stated period,
a custom which has been adopted by
several of Ins predecessors while pre
paring their messages to congress.
I do not intimate that Mr. Roose
velt is not a staunch republican nor
that he will fail to use the patronage
nt his disposal to further the interests
of the party, but that he is committed
by his antecedents to the policy that
the interest of party will be most
surely maintained by the appoint
ment of men who will never fail to
do credit to the party. In a word,
Mr. Roosevelt's conception of his
duty to his country and to his party
is the precise antithesis of Tammany
methods.
Rumors concerning the isthmian
canal treaty Htill serve to fill space In
the air. They are asserted beyond
doubt one day and denied the next.
As a matter of fact, nothing Is nor
can be positively known. A member
of the cabinet who will not allow his
name to be used, tells me that diplo
matic negotiations are practically
.completed and that a treaty will be
presented to the senate which will
be acceptable to England and which
will meet with the hearty approval
of the senate. He further says that
Mr. Roosevelt has given this matter
his personnl attention and believes
he has effected an agreement with
Great Britian that will reflect credit
upon the party and incidentally "upon
his administration, but that the de
tails are closely guarded and that
everyone connected with the state
department and with the White
House, understand that it will cause
the pcrsident serious annoyance if
"they are permitted to lek out."
The question of our relations with
Cuba is a complex and difficult one.
Cuban prosperity is largely, if not
completely, dependent upon the trade
relations' she is able to establish with
this country. Unless she is able to
find side for her sugar in the United
States, she cannot prosper. On the
other hand, the admission of Cuban
sugar, free of duty, would sound the
death kneil of our own beet sugar
industry, w hich is still in its infancy,
but which, under the beneficent in
fluence of protection, has made a sat
isfactory growth. This seems to be
an instance where a generous bounty
might le substituted for the protec
tive tariff to the advantage of all
concerned. -A liberal bounty to the
beet sugar producers would offset the
injury done by the admission of Cu
ban sugar free, while such admission
would restore prosperity to Cuba and
the amount of the bounty could lie
raised by un increase of duty levied
on goods imported from countries in
which we are less interested. Gen.
Hancock was once much ridiculed
for saying the tariff was a "local is
sue." It is surely a quest iou with
different local points of view.
The republicans in Washington are
remarking, w ith no little amusement,
upon the self evident, though so far
unexpressed change of heart of the
democrats, as witnessed by the com
plete subsidence of William Jennings
Bryan. Although campaigns are in
progress in eight states, four of them
ut least more or less doubtful, in no
one of thesn are heard the megaphone
notes of the orator of Nebraska.
Not one of the state democratic com-
l;iiitves luts invited Mr. Uryuu to
take the stump, but Mr. Bryan has
offered his services to the Ohio com
mittee, which committee has so far
failed to make any reply to the offer,
and it is whispered In tones that can
be heard outside the democratic camp
that the committee regards itself in a
dilemma and wishes the offer had
been "lost In the mails."
Rumor has it that Ambassador
Chnate is now on his w ay to Wash
ington, and will not return to London
after his conference with the presi
dent, and that he will be succeeded
at the Court of St. James by Ex-Senator
Wolcott of Colorado. The offi
cials of the state department afiirin
that they know nothingof such change,
and it seems likely that the report
arises more from a general knowledge
of the incompatibility of the charac
ters of the president and the ambas
sador to England than from fact. It
is well known that Mr. Chnate is the
antithesis of Mr. Roosevelt In temper
ament and inspiration, and even if
not yet determined upon, such a
change is not likely.
Secretary Hay has hastened to as
sure the public that he has no inten
tion of resigning his portfolio. Per
haps the knowledge that in the event
of the president's dentil (he secretary
of state would succeed to the presi
dency may have led Mr. Hay to
change his mind. In any event, Sec
retary Gage must realize that in this
unfortunate prediction, as in the ease
of his advocacy of Mr. Whitehead for
the New York appraisership, he has
permitted himself to fall into a habit
of talking to much.
The London Athtuttvum an author
ity on literary subjects, remarks in
the course of a complimentary notice
of Mr. Roosevelt, that he is more of
a man of letters than any president
of the United States since Jefferson.
The difficulty which President Jeff
erson and President Roosevelt, could
they meet, would have in under
standing each other on subjects
relating to literature, polity and
science, is suggestive of how the
world has moved since Jefferson's
time.
The Plain Truth.
Under the above caption faitHe'
Weekly makes the following Bpt
comments, which will be commend
ed by thoughtful people as contain
ing the essence of the matter :
"Sensitionalism in religion is al
ways distasteful to thoughtful men
and women. For this reason the
"boy preachers" and "infant prodi
gies" of the pulpit seldom appeal to
conservative minds. The desire to
be amused, as well as enlightened,
is so common among the masses
that it offers justification to some
for effervescence in the pulpit. At
a great religioug meeting at Ocean
Urove, recently, a boy preacher
from Manchester, England, announc
ed as "Jack Cook," was soheduled
to speak, and the vast congregation
was invited to chooso a text from
which he might expound. The text
was given and ho spoke extempo
raneously, it is said, for three-quar-tors
of an hour to "a bewildered
audience." The utterances of the
pulpit should always bo thoughtful
and well considered. The profound
troths of the Gospel should have
behind their exposition the weight
of years and the strength of deep
thought and consecrated study.
Sensational utterances may sway an
impulsive and eager crowd, but the
best mission of the church is to
reuch those clear-minded, conscien
tious, and earnest seekers after
truth who are asking for a perfect
demonstration of its abiding place."
Mr. Hilliard Greatly Improved.
W. V. Hilliard, who was quite
seriously shocked last woek by fall
ing from a load of straw, fortunate
ly was not so bad'y injured as at
first supposed and has returned to
Milford and is now able to be out
attending to business. In this con
nection it may be stated that it is
reported tliat the Milford & Port
Jervis railroad, with which he is
connected, will soon resume work
on its line and push the road to
completion from here to Port Jor
vis. The people have waited long
and rather impatiently for the ful
fillment of the oft-rejHsated prom
ises to ooinplete this work and it 18
sincerely hoped they will not Hf nin
be doomed to disappoiutuiuut.

road four miles below Dingmans I

Cyrus Custard, well known to peo
ple of this county, especially those in
the lower end, died at the home of
his daughter In Port Jervis Thurs
day morning, Oct. 10. He was a
son of William and Elizabeth Van
Camp Custard and was born Jan. 23,
1R1!, in Lehman township, about
three miles above Hushkill on what
is now known as the Swartwood
farm, lie was the last survivor of a
family of seven children. After forty
five years, having lost his farm
through unfortunate circumstances,
he removed to New Jersey where he
lived for several years, and then re
turned to this county, residing in
various places. He married Frances
Butts of Easton, Pa., who died some
five years ago. Mr. Custard was a
memler for many years of the M.
E. church and was remarkable for
his uniform courtesy and pleasant
manners.

liam, of Dingmans Ferry, Cyrus, of
Marshalls Creek, Jacob, of Iowa,
George, in New York, Abraham, of
Middletown, N. Y., and the daugh
ter with whom he resided, Mrs. 8. 13.
Fuller, of Port Jervis. The remains
were taken last Monday to Shawnee,
Monroe county, for Interment.
81JUIH1C L, SAKLE8.
OMr. Sarins, for many years a resi
dent of Dingmans Ferry, died at his
home early last Saturday, Oct. 12,
after an illness of long duration. He
was boru in 1838 at Bedford, West
chester county, New York. Jan. 8,
1864, he enlisted at Buffalo in the 2d
Regiment New York Mounted Rifles
and was honorably discharged May
18, 1865, on account of disability.
Soon after ho came to Port Jervis
whore for some time ho conducted
small store. In June, 1871, he
married Jennie, a daughter of the
late Rev. John Retallio of Delaware,
and after a brief residenoe in Owego,
N. Y.. tliey returned In 1877 to
Dingmans Ferr, where for a couple
of years he engaged in the business
of driving stage .ami soon after

sided at Matamoras, died at his
home Oct. 10 after a long illness
aged about 64 years. For the past
27 years he had been employed in
the Erie shops. He leaves surviv
ing a wife and nine children.
Th Amendment.
Electors will have the opportunity
at the coming election of deciding
for or against the proposed amend
ments to the constitution, and if
they will read iutun carefully they
will learn that the only intention
is first to safeguard olections by pre
venting fraudulent voting in largo
cities. In country districts voters
re generally known and their rights
to vote can readily bo established if
their names do not appear on the
lists. In cities it is very different
for there both the voter and his
vouchers may be strangers and the
door is open to fraud. The amoud-
ment simply proposes that laws reg
ulating and requiriug registration
in cities may be passed so as to pre
vent as far as possible frauds in
elections. This should be endorsed
by every honest citizen. The sec
ond will permit the legislature to
change or amend the law prescrib
ing the manner of balloting. This
may or may not be by means of
voting machines, but certainly the
present method is susceptible of im
provement, and even should the
machines be adopted their cost
would soon be compensated by the
saving in tha present rather expen
sive way of conducting elections A
greater secrecy would be obtained.
the system is much simpler for the
voter and there is vastly less labor
for election officers, besides insur
ing absolute correctness in casting
and computing the votes

Build a Creamery Hfre.
An Irvestigation of fales of butter
by different merchants in town re
veals the fact that the people here
ant bnying largely the creamery
product. Some of the merchants
de il almost exclusively iu butler
manufactured hundred! of miles
from this county and others f.y
that the goneral demand, even
when n home made butter of good
quality is offered, is for the import,
ed nt u larger price. The fact to be
deduced is that, our poople are sup
porting industries and fnrmo.s
in othor and distant places to the
dclriment of farmers residing near
by In our own county. The m i
chi'.nt bnya the orrmnovr prndn; t,
for which he pays cost and on
which ho makes a small profit ; the
tanner who brings his butter to the
store must sell for a much less price
and usually take it out in trade. He
is at a disadvantage because he
must accept the price offered for his
product and pay the price demand
ed for the goods. He has no choice,
and the merchant is also at a disad
vantage because there is little de
mand for the home made butter
and he is often forced to dispose of
it at n loss. There nre a few farm
ers who perhaps have private cus
tomers and obtain better prices, but
their output is limited and they
must peddle it nronnd nt a sacrifice
of time. There is no encourage
ment to the farmer to increaso his
stock and product because that
would entail greater expense and
labor with a proportionately small
gain. The farmer and his wife,
with their rude appliances and
manual labor, are competing with
first class machinery, skilled labor
and organized capital, and as well
with a popular prejudice against
their butter. The time is past
when dairy butter, packed in firkins
or tubs as formerly, can bo sold at
the end of the season. The demand
now is for fresh goods, and it is idle
to endeavor to effect a change in
this respect. The farmer must
meet the demands imposed by
changed conditions, and he must
meet the competition offered by
large estab ishmcnts in distant
states. However ho may deplore
the situation it is one he must face,
and experience proves that ho can
not do so profitably. There is but
ono escape from this unfortunate
oonoMtion and that is for the farmer
to put hiuisolf iu a pjsi'.ijii where
ho can successfully compete. The
creamery offers a solution of the
problom. Let any thoughtful man
calculate tho cost of a pound of but
ter in labor and quantity made from
a given amount of milk in the old
fashioned way and the price for
which it sells, with tho price ordi
narily paid for mills at- a creamery,
and he will be oonvinced. The
creamery with its ice, machinery
and modern appliances extracts
every particle of butter from the
milk, which the farmer can not do ;
it manufactures in large quantities
making the product uniform, the
farmer in small quantity and qual
ity varying according to a number
of conditions. The creamery read
ily disposes of its product in quanti
ties, while the farmer must dole his
out in small packages. If ho in
creases his output beyond a certain
limit ho entails vastly moie labor
on his wife and daughters and
creates additional expense in the
way of apparatus. If he sells milk
to the creamery ho only increases
the cost of milking which would be
no more than in the other instance.
He has a market for his product
and is not disturbed by doubts,
fears and difficulties as to sales as
he is with his butter. His herd iu
creases, bis land improves, his milk
is paid for monthly and he begins to
have an acquaintance with the bank
and becomes the proud possessor of
a chock book. Uis wife is relieved
of toil and drudgery and ho finds
his children much less prone to
leave the farm and seek what is
called more genteel employment.
That a creamery would pay in
this section has been demonstrated.
There are two in operation iu an ad
joining state near here. They are
competing With onr ; farmers . and
our people are. paying for their
product, in short, enriching . the
farmers of another state to the det
riment of those in our own icouuty.
The man or men who build a cream
ory in our county near Milford will
not only put their money iu a pay
ing investment but will confer un
told bouefiis on the farmers. It
will increaso the price of farms, it
will keep tho money here and put
more iu circulation and soou our
hills will be oovored with herds and
our farmers will be prosperous and
contented.
