MILFOKl), PIKK COUNTY, PA., FRIDAY, NOVEMUEtt 7, 1902.
NO. 1.
THE WASHINGTON LETTER.
Tt was altogether characteristic of
President Roisevelt that, when it
was represented to him Hint his
prompt protest n jjr.ii nst the the solicl
tRtion of funds for campaign purposes
froin federal employes by federal
oflleials, had resulted in a serious
falling off In the receipts of the
sinews of war, he should have drawn
his personal cheek for a liberal
nninunt to help in the good wook.
Another evidenee of his interest in
the campaign wns furnished by the
statement which he caused Secretary
Cortelyou to make public. On Sat
urday, by direction of the president,
Mr. C'ortelyou handed to every news
paperman w ho came to the temporary
White House the following state
ment, "The president is watching
with keenest interest and most
earnest desire for republican success
the various congress canvasses and
the state canvasses in states like New
York and Pennsylvania where gov
ernors are to be elected." Compelled
to abandon his campaign tour by
the orders of his physicians, Mr.
Koosevelt kept the campaign con
stantly before him and omitted no
proper effort that would serve his
party. His brilliant and successful
efforts to end the coal strike probably
contributed more than anything else
to republican success. When the
people suffer they inevitably seek s
srape-goat on which to blame the
cause, and in this instance the demo
cratic politicians were ever ready
with misrepresentation and misinfer
ence to place the blame on the repub
lican party. The settlement of
Titanic struggle between cm-'ll and
labor was undoubtedly... " 1 litest
conquest of the party w-m-uij-eai".".
and the people appreciate it.
The president is deeply impressed
with the importance of the work
which will fall to his party during
the next few years and he is con
vinced that the welfare of the coun
try demands that this work shall
continue uninterrupted. He has
never taken any stock in the theory
that it would be just as well to let
the democrats win this year and so
demonstrate to the country that they
were utterly incapable of construc
tive legislation. He has felt genuine
anxiety in regard to the outcome in
New York and Pennsylvania and
has been quoted as referring to the
possibility of democratic victory -in
the latter instance as a "threatened
national calamity." The warm per
sonal regard existing between the
president and Governor Odell is well
known and, in a measure, the Gov
ernor of New York has sought to
carry out some of the policies which
Mr. Roosevelt himself inaugurated
when he was governor and he has
succeed ably in so far as the reduc
tion of personal taxes in the state is
concerned.
Secretary Moody's statement, made
at Lawrence, Mass., that the duty on
anthracite coal must be regaled at
the first opnrtunity confirms the
predictions made in these letters some
time ago, that the president would
advocate nucr removal. The .presi
dent believes that it will be possible
to alter such individual schedules of
the tariff as may be imperative with
out the general revision threatened
lv tiie ilciniKTttl and which would
serve to unsettle business throughout
the country.
A great deal of nonsense bus been
published by the democratic press in
regard to th recent purchase of
iHiiids authorized by Secretary Shaw,
including statements which clearly
demonstrated that the editors or
their correspondents did not know
what they were talking about. When
the secretary of the treasury desires
to purchase bunds he must do so on
the market on the market price. It
would lie useless for him to offer par
for them or even any price material
ly less than the market. They are
field by private individuals who
would not purl with them at a sacri
fice and whom he has no way ot
compelling to wll. Secretary Shaw
paid lliTJ fur wiiut bunds he pur
chased ami the market then and
since has ranged from 1'iVj bid to
l.s asked. At the price which the
s-crctary paid fur the l'J-'t, i per

case had the purchased consisted of
bonds of earlier maturity, and furth
er, there lire practically none of these
bunds deposited as security Tor hunk
notes and, therefore, their purchase
did not operate to curtail the volume
of circulation.
Secretary Hay has taken a deter
mined stand against arbitrating the
Alaska lioundary discussion with
(treat Britain and rightly. He says
that whop, the United States pur
chased Alaska from Russia it pur
chased the specific rights embodied
in a treaty affected between Russia
and Great Britian In 48'.!!). That
treaty definitely placed the boundary
now Involved in the controversy, at
three leagues fron the sea, w hich the
I'nited States interprets to mean 30
mil 's from the w ater. The Canadian
officials, however, are active in
bring to light every story of and old
boundary, mission, etc., with a view
to complicating the issue and be
fogging the essential point. Un
fortunately, the American officials
oecassinnally err in this direction, at
least they have in the past, as is
witnessed by the authorization of an
expedition on which Lieutenant Geo.
T. Emmons, U. 8. A., retired, era
harked and in the progress of which
he discovered numerous landmarks,
an account of which he is now mak
ing the subject of olllclal report.
Krom an etiological standpoint Lieu
tenant Knimon's discoveries are
dou biles interesting but from the
standpoint of the slate department
they are valueless.
President Roosevelt accompanied
by Secretary Root and Mr. Oortelyou
left Washington Friday to enjoy
some of the excellent quail and turkey
shooting which Represenative Rixey
of Virginia assures them is to be had
on his farm. Mr. Hixey has 1,900
acres of land, much of it on the old
Bull Hun battle field, and he reports
that the game on many portions of it
is most plentiful. The president

BENNKR VAN WYCK. On Thurr
day, October 30, 1903, at the rectory of the
Clmrcli ut the TrniiBfiKurntlon, Now York
city, by the Rov. Dr. Q. C. Houghton,
Happv Thkoikiba, dauiihtor of the late
Charles H. and Kate Ii. Van Wyck, to
Fkhnakdo Wall Benneb.
The above announcement fro m the
New York Herald of Nov. 1st caused
a ripple of surprise here where the
parties, especially the lady, is well
know n. Not that the event was not
expected but that it should occur
without the usual formalities of
invitations and the preliminaries
which accompany such pleasant
functions. It has for some time been
understood that an engagement
between the couple existed which
would probably be followed in due
course of time by the happy culmin
ation and young society people here
were hoping to participate in a
brilliant affair. However the groom
with the idea that possession is nine
points wished to hasten matters and
so asked that the wedding take place
without, delay. Miss Van Wyck,
Who was domiciled at the Hotel
Cambridge, New York, being also
persuaded by friends, assented and
forthwith accompanied by Miss
Jeanette Mott, who has long been her
close companion, and Mr. Norman
Harsell, went to the rectory where
Dr. Houghton quickly tied the knot.
After the ceremony there was a
theatre and dinner party and on
Friday the happy couple left for a
short trip atter which they will
reside in New York.
The bride is daughter of the former
United States Senator from Nebraska
Charles H. -Van Wyck and her
mother was a daughter of the late
Hon. John tl. Brodhead of this
place. She is a young lady of charm
Ing personality, distinguished appear
ance and unusual mental capacity.
The groom is a well to do real
estate dealer in Brooklyn is a popular
society man and a member of the
New York and Atlantic Yacht clubs.
They have the sincere wishes of
many friends that their way through
life may be an avenue bordered
only with roses.
As long as our internal commerce
on the ureat images continues to
increase as it has during the year,
and the railroads continue to order
thousands of new locomotives and
cars to overcome thefrieght famine,
we need not feel unduly exercised
over the statements that our pros,
pority is on the wane.
