THE WASHINGTON LETTER.
The long period of waiting In the
senate Is approaching an pint and the
strain under which republican wn
Blurs mul (lie correspondent if the
republican press have labored Is to
tie remitted. The orders of Senator
Ixlge In his rapacity of manager on
the floor of the senate of the I'hillp
pine civil hill have been "hold your
fire until you nee the whites of their
ryes," hut the whites of a good many
democratic eyeballs are now In view
find the first skirmish of the republi
can forces wns mode on Friday hy
Senator rritchurd of North Carolina.
Behind the smoke of Senator Prit
chard's skirmish line Mr. fridge has
been getting his tlg guns into line
and today at two o'clock they will
go into action with telling effect.
The senator from Mussachussetls has
prepared his sieech very carefully
and it Is calculated to piny hnvoc In
the democratic ranks. Mr. Lodge
will admit the cruelti) which have
leen practiced in the Philppines hy
American soldiers but he will point
out Unit they all occurred one-and-a-half
to two years ago. Then he will
cite the atrocities practiced on Amer
ican soldiers by the Filipinos, out
rages and barbarities which, to use
the senator's own words, "would
make a marble sulnt thirst for ven
geance." Kpnre will not permit an
enumeration of the frightful atroci
ties which have been perpetrated on
the American boys and which have
made their comrades, crazed with
the sight of their brothers' suffering,
overstep in a very few instances the
hounds of civilized warfare. I have
seen the senator's speech and when
the American people have read it
their horror at the pictures which
have been drawn for their Imagina
tion by democratic partisans will be
turned to pity and to gratification
that the American focres have shown
themselves so tolerant, so merciful
and so well-disciplind In the face of
such frightful provocation. What
the democrats have been exultingly
contemplating material for the cam
paign will be shorn of Its oratorical
flowers and made to Btand out as
partisan vilification of American
soldiers under the furious batteries of
the Junior senator from Massachu
setts. The testimony of Messrs. Ilave
ineyer and Donner, respectively pres
ident and treasurer of the sugar
trust, before the committeo on rela
tions with Cuba, havf fulled to dis
cover the . sensational facts which
have been so confidently counted on
by the opponents of Cuba reciprocity.
The statements of both of these gen
tlemen, made under oath, has reveal
ed the fact that the trust has no hold
ings of Cuba sugar and that reciproc
ity will operate to the disadvantage
rather than to the advantage of the
trust. Further delay will obviously
operate to the advantage of the trust,
but Cuban reciprocity, according to
their statements, will not. Mr.
Molt, purchaser of raw sugar for the
company, cited with effect the results
of admitting free Porto Klciui sugar
as ample evidence of the benefit to
the planters of a reduction of the
tariff.
The refusal of the attorney general
to meet in conference the representa
tives of the beef trust Is In entire ac
cordance with the views of the presi
dent and with the action already
taken by the department of justice.
Mr. Knox has begun this suit In the
le!ief that the men who compose the
trust have violated the law and have
conspired to raise the price of a com
modity which is Important to every
consumer. There is nothing about
which he wishes to confer. lie has
brought suit in the courts and the
results will stand on the facts there
demonstrated. It is not the position
of the government to compromise
with law breakers and It now
remains to the courts to determine If
the attorney general is correct in his
assumption that the law has been
violated. Having demonstrated the
correctness of position Mr. Knox
will leave it to the courts to enforce
the law and fix the penalty.
Two more appropriation bills have !
been di-po.-'d of the houe of rejirtr
sentatives during the past week, the
ujjrk-ulturul iiiid the district of i
Columbia bills having been sent up;
to the senate. Th
1 till providing for
diplomatic relations with Cuba is
now under con.sidcniiinii and will be
followed tomorrow with the omnibus
territorial bill. lMeyitu Dennis
I lymi of ( ;!.!.. in. iiri lol.l me yesterday
that he Vuts eel tail! hU bill would
1 : ;s the l.oti-e tm 1 he bel:eve. Hi
chances In the senate were excellent.
There will then remain but two more
appropriation bills to be considered,
the naval bill and the general defic
iency bill, the formernlready reported
and the Inffor still to come. Prom
inent on the house calendar are the
Philippine government bill, the anti
anarchist bill, the Pacific cable bill
and a host of others which should be
acted iimiii before adjournment.
Saturday was devoted to the private
calendar and todny in the house has
lieen set aside for the consideration of
hills emanating from the committee
on the District of Columbia.
Ihursday witnessed the exit of
Secretary liong from the cabinent
and his succession by Mr. Moody of
Massachusetts as the new secretary
of the navy. It was with manifest
and freely expressed relief that Mr
Long vacated the ofllce, which the
Spanish war had made particularly
onerous. In fact, had it not been for
his disinclination to "retire under
fire," Mr. Long would have long be
fore resigned from the cabinet.
Mr. and Mrs. Umg left Washington
immediately for their Massachusetts
home.
On Friday the president went to
Annapolis and presented to the
graduating cadets their diplomas.
The presentation was preceded by a
characteristic speech In which Mr.
Hooseveltr charged the young men
with the responsibilities of their
future positions and emphasized the
fact that the slightest inattention to
duty on their part might result dis
astrously to the country which they
had sworn to serve.
The advent of Mine. Cambon, wife
of the French Ambassador, to Wash
ington society on Thursday was the
occasion of an unusually brilliant
reception at the embassy. Mine.
Cam I Kin has not been in this city for
a number of years and It is under
stood that her residence here will be
marked by a number of elaborate
entertainments In the not distant
future. A large number of people In
diplomatic a. id official circles extend
ed a cordial welcome on the evening
of her reception.
Bound to Marry.
Last Sunday a young couple from
Port Jervis on matrimony beut ap
peared in town but as the clerk's
ofllce was closed and they had no
license were in a dilemma. This
was happily solved bv the sugges
tion that they go to New Jersey
where such barriers to the fulfill
nient of love's dre im are not known.
Accordingly accompanied by Rev.
C. E. Scaddor of the M E. church
they hied to the bridi.e and across
and there nuder the friendly roof of
the toll house, Miss Gertrude Doty
anl Maurioe Bally were soon made
one. The ceremony was performed
with a ring and the happy couple
went their way rejoicing.
A Distinguished Visitor.
Recorder John W. GofT of Now
York was a guest at the Crissman
House a day last week. Ho was
charmed with the beauties of Mil-
ford and so thoroughly enjoyed the
roads and scenery that he walked to
Port Jervis for the exercise. Ha
stated that he expeoted soon to re
visit our town for a more extended
stay. Thus it is ever with stran

Keep th Baianca Up.
It has been truthfully said that
any disturbance of the even balance
of health causes serious trouble.
Nobody can be too careful to keep
tills balance up. When people bo
gin to lose appetite, or get tired
easily, the least imprudence bringir
on sickness, weakness, or debility.
The system needs a tonic, craves it,
and should not be duuied it: and
the best tenia of which we have any
knowledge is Hood's Barsaparilla.
What this medicine has done in
keeping healthy people healthy, in
keeping up the even balance of
beallh, jtives it the same distinction
as a preventive that it enjoys as a
cure. Its early use has illustrated
tin wUdom of the old baying that a
stitch in time saves nine. Take

Bret Harte'i Poem.
Perhaps the most popular poem
of Bret Harte, who died recently in
England, is the one given below. It
made him famous and has been
widely read :
PLAIN LANGUAGE FROM TRUTH
TVIj JAMES-1870.
Which I wish to remark,
And 1117 language Is plain,
That for ways that are dark
And for tricks that are vain
The heathen Chlnei Is peculiar.
Which the same I would rise to explain.
Ah Sin was his name,
And I shall Dot deny
In regard to the same .
What thnt namo might imply.
But his smile It wns pensive and childlike,
As I frequent remarked to Dill Nye.
It wns August the third.
And quite soft wns the skies,
Which It inigh'. be Inferred
Thnt Ah Sin wns likewise;
Yet he played It that, day upon William
And me in a way I despise.
Which we hnd a smnll game
Acd Ah .Sin took a hand;
It wns euchre. The same
He did not understand ;
But he smiled ns he sat by the table,
With the smile thnt was childlike and
bland.
Yet the cards they were stnckrd
In a way that I grieve,
And my feelings were shocked
At the state of Nye's sleeve.
Which was stuffed full of aces and bowers,
And the same with Intent to deceive.
But the hands that were played
Hy that heathen Chinee,
And the points that he mnde
Were quite frightful to see;
Till at last he put down a right bower,
Which the same Nye hod uenlt unto ine.
Then I looked up nt Nye,
And he gazed upon me,
And he rose with a sigh
And said: "Can this be?
We ere ruined by chenp Chinese labor "
And he went for that heathen Chinee.
In the scene that tnsued
I did not take a band,
But the floor It vras strewed
Like the leaves ou the strand
With, the cards that Ah Sin had been
hiding
lu the game "he did not understand."
In hU sleeves, which were long,
He had twenty-four packs,
Which was coming It strong,
Yet I slate but the facts;
And we found on his nails, which were
taper,
What is freiment.ln tapers that's wax.
Which is why I reniaik.
And my language is plain,
TI11H for ways that are dark
And for tricks that are valu
The healhuu Chinee is peculiar.
Which the same 1 am fre to maintain.
Old Soldier's Experience.
M M. Austin, a civil war veteran
of Winchester, Ind., writes: "My
wifo wns suk long time in spite
of good doctois' treatment, but was
wholly cured by Dr. King's New

To prevent turkeys indulging in
their propensity to all sit on one

suggested that barrels bo provided

a board loosely in front so that the
others cannot enter but so that the
Inmate can easily push it over and
emerge when she desires. " By
watching for a few days aud th&s
keeping the others out the matter
can be adjusted so that one will
have her'nest undisturbed.

Ouly til'o,
IH1 PARK GAME CASE.
Soma Unwarranted Strictures and
Herogatory Insinuation Noted.
The Dispatch last week contained
a letter over the signature, "Jus
tice," censuring the United States
court for its ruling in the indict
ments against .several members of
the Blooming Grove park for an in
tent to viola te the Laoey act by re
moving game out of the state Tho
reasoning of the letter reminds ono
of the old poetic logio :
If A man who turnips ories.
Cries not when his father dies,
'Tis a sign that he would rather
Have tho tnrnips than his father
Suppose a man forms in his mind
the intent to commit an assault and
battery on another and at a distance
of a few hundred feet expresses such
determination and accompanies it
by A pugilistic attitude but is cheok-
ed before starting on his errand,
could he be convicted of the crime
of assault and battery?
Jndge Archbald simply decided
that an intent not carried into effect
does not constitute a orime when
the act of congress says the intent
must be fully consummated. Penal
statutes are always strictly con
strued. A court does not make the
laws, it construes them, and if no
iffense as defined by an aot had
been committed "Justice" would be
probably the londest squealer in the
bunoh if he was apprehended for an
alleged offense and the conrt should
direct his oonviotion, not for its
commission but for his presumed
intent.
"Justice" says "the court finds
that Mr. Smith did violate the law
but not far enongb to oommit a
orime," yet "Justice" would have
Mr. Smith oonvioted of the crime
which he did not oorumit because
sooh is "Justioe's" idea of iustioe.
"Justice" indulges in Innuendoes
and insinuations that in some way
by "invitations to offioials of the
oourt to visit the olnb house" the
oourt was bribed or influenced in its
decision of the oase. A fair oriti
olsm of the deoision of a oourt is
perhaps permissible but an attempt
to traduoe the oharaoter of a judge
by intimating that because some
member of his oourt has aooepted
hospitalities he has been corrupted
is muoh nearer malicious libel than
is an attempt to oommit a misde
meanor an actual crime.
Dr. Kalbfus deserves commenda
tion for his attempts to enforoe the
laws and should hare the assistance
and open sympathy of all law-abiding
citizens in such efforts but if he
allows his zeal to outstrip the law
or is mistaken in his judgment as to
what is an offence against it, he
cannot nor would he expect courts
to vindicate his errors by punishing
men innocent of any statutory
crime. Were the defendants ocher
than members of. the Blooming
Grove park association would "Jus
tice" be wielding his defamatory
pen with such vehemence in con
demnation?

"Lie, steal, drink, and swear. When

When you drink, let it be pure
water. When you swear, let it be
that you will patronize your home
paper, pay your subscription, and
not send your Job work away from
home."
