THE WASHINGTON LETTER.
Postmaster General Payne has no
Intention of resigning from tho cabi
net in the Immediate future. This
statement was made to your corros
Mndent by 'the postmaster general
himself when his attention was
called to the fact that numerous
reports have been sent out from
Washington to the effect, that, owing
to his poor health, the criticism of
the public press, etc., he would offer
his resignation almost Immediately.
It Is learned moreover, that In making
plans for the coming summer, which
was done at the last cabinet meeting
before the president left for Oyster
Hay, the presence of Mr. Payne In
Washington for at least a month
more and his permanent retention of
his present place was counted on.
.Senator Ilanna, who spent Friday in
Washington, said before leaving that
there was no truth in the statement
telegraphed from Cleveland that he
had come to Washington to confer
with the president regarding Mr.
Payne's probable resignation and
that in so far as he knew Mr. Payne
had no such intention.
Senator Ilanna said that his chief
purpose In coining to Washington
was to confer with Sieretary Shaw
with regard to the new postofilee
building at Cleveland. Asked if he
discussed with Mr. Uoosevelt the
chairmanship of the republican
national committee, Mr. Hanna said
that he had no knowledge of his own
intention to resign that position,
which is taken to mean that Mr.
Ilanna has agreed to retain that
arduous position. 8enator Ilanna
lunched at the White House the day
lie was in Washington, other guests
present being Sir Thomas Lipton and
Geo. W. Perkins, the partner of J.
Pierpont Morgan. After luncheon
Messrs. Ilanna and Perkins had a
long conference with the president
regarding the proposed financial
legislation which Is being considered
by Senator Aldrich's sub-committee.
It is understood that Mr. Perkins
presented to the two statesmen the
Wall Street view of remedies which
should be applied to the financial
system. As it was through the
influence of Mr. Perkins that the
disclosures of irregularities in the
postofilee department, which were
being made in a Washington news
paper last December, were hushed up,
his presence at the White House gave
rise to all kinds of speculation.
The most important developments
in the postoftiee investigation during
the past week have been the indict
ments of Edwin W. Driggs and J. V.
Miller, the former an ex-member of
congress. It appears that while a
member of congress, Driggs accepted
$1,250 for his services in securing the
adoption by the postoftiee departnnnt
of an automatic change making
machine and that Miller paid the
amount to him. This is a statutory
offense and punishable with fine and
imprisonment. It has long been
suspected that Goo. W. Beavers was
mixed up in the same transaction but
that has not yet been proven. Ex
Postmaster General Smith has issued
a lengthy statement regarding, the
Tullocli charges in which he attempts
to prove collusion between Tulloch
and Inspector Smith, whose report
made so important a part of Bristow
reply. Mr. Smith's ground for
charging collusion is that both Tul
loch and Inspector Smith use, in
many instances, identical phraseology
but that is expluined at the postoftiee
department by the statement that
ltoth the Tulloch charges and the
Smith report were bused on a letter
of comptroller of the treasury Trace-
well and that the phraseology referred
to was, in both instances, borrowed
from him.
Republicans in Bshiiiton are
greatly delighted at wliut they regard
as an exhibition of exccptionubly
able leadership on the part of Senator
Sni Miner who, on his recent visit to
Wisconsin, obtained from ltepre.-sen
tutive I'.alicock a pledge not to enter
the lists in the senatorial contest next
winter and who successfully launched
the "get together" movement in tl
slate. Mr. Ratx-ock's withdrawal
from the senatorial race ensures the
reelection uf Senator Quarle.s and
nmkt-s for paiiy harmony. What
ever may be Governor IjaFollette's
position in his oh n shite, Washington

master General Payne in the contest
for membership on the national com
mittee and is reported to be bending
every energy in that direction.
Throughout the past week consid
able interest has been manifested
bere in the platform to be and
afterwards adopted by the Iowa
dornoerats. Now that the platform
lias been adopted repulicnn senti
ment takes t wo forms. On the one
hand gratification is expressed that
the democrats have repudiated Col.
Bryan and his ) 6 to 1 heresy ; on the
other it is remarked that the demo
crats with a common sense platform
will not be as easy to beat as they
would be were they to remain loyal
to the Chicago and Kansas City
platforms. This docs not mean,
however, that there is the slightest
apprehension regarding the election
of next year as even the democrats
themselves, at least the best posted
of them, admit among themselves,
that it will be impossible to defeat
Mr. Roosevelt.
President Roosevelt lias received
most friendly complimentary
cablegram from Emperor William
apropos of the arrival at Kiel of the
American naval squadron. It is as
much a part of Mr. Roosevelt's in
ternational policy to maintain the
most friendly relations with all
foreign powers as it is to establish
and support a powerful navy. It
was with that end in view that he
spared no pains to make the visit of
Prince Henry of Prussia a pleasant
e and he regards the cablegram of
the Emperor as a further evidence
of the success of his polioy. Not
only has the Kaiser thus cabled the
president but he has invited the
American commanders to dine with
himself and the Empress and has in
every way possible shown his friend
liness for the United States.
The president left Washington for
Oyster Bay on Saturday and the
residential portion of the White
House is now closed for the sum
mer, only the new office building
remaining in use.
The Mama Cuba
The United States Board of Geo-
grnphloal Names has spent consider
able time finding tho origin of the
name Cuba. The result is announced
as follows: "Cuba is the name by
which the island was originally
known by the Lucayan Indians, who
were with Columbus when ho dis
coved it. One of Its villages or
cities was called by tbemCubanacan,
and it is reported that from the
similarity of sounds Columbus, still
supposing himself to be on the coast
of Asia, imagined that this mast be
the city of Kubla Kahn, the Tartar
sovereign celebrated by Marco Polo.
The survival of the original name
of Cuba is a remaikable instance of
persistence, as the island has been
baptized and rebaptized many times
siroe its European discovery.
"Columbus first called it Jaana,
in honor of Prince John, the son ot
Ferdinand and Isabella. After
Ferdinand's death it was called, in
his memory, Ferdinanda. Subse-
quently this name was changed to
Santiago, after St. James, the patron
saint of Spain. Still later It was
named Ave Maria, in honor of Vir
gin Mary. But none of thoso names
held, and the Indian name is still
preserved.

A Tear Without Summer
In the year 1816 there was a sharp
frost in every month of the year in
the Northern 8ratot. It was known
as the year without a summer. The
farmers referred to it as the eighteen
hundred and starve to death. In
May ice formed half an inoh thick,
buds and flowers were frozen, and
corn was killed all over New Jersey
Frost, ice and snow were common
in June throughout Pennsylvania,
and snow fell five inches deep in
New York, and in Masachusetts 10
inches deep on June 18. July was
accompanied with frost and ice. On
the 15th ice formed to the thickness
of window glass, and throughout
New England corn was nearly all
destroyed in many sections. In
August ice formed half an inch
thick. A cold northern wind pre,
vailed nearly all summer with' heavy
rainfalls. Corn was frozen so that
the greater part was cut down and
dried as fodder. Farmers were
obliged to pay f 4 to to a bushel for
corn of 1815 for seed for the next
year's planting.

FEEDING HORSES
The Advantages of Ground and TJn
ground Feed Considered
Opinions difTer as regards the ad
vantages of grinding grain. For
horses" which are out of the stable
during the day and worked hard, it
is quite generally believed that all
grains, with the possible exception
of oats, should be ground and for
those at extremely hard work, all
grain should be ground and mixed
with chaffed hay. For idle horses
oats or grain should not be ground,
nor should hay or straw bo chaffed.
In other words, provided the animals
have time to masticate their ration
thoroughly, grinding Is not necessary.
When this Is not the case, grinding
takes the place of thorough mastica
tion to some extent, and Increases
the assimilation of the ration.
When whole oats were compared
with ground wheat and bran at the
North Dakota Station, the horses fed
the former ration ate somewhat more
and showed a slight loss in weight,
while doing a little less work than
those fed the ground grain. At the
Utah Station, tests of the comparative
merits of ground and unground eorn,
oats, and wheat fed under different
experimental conditions indicated
that the ground and unground grains
were equally satisfactory. When
whole and ground oats, corn, and
barley were compared for colts at the
Iowa Station, somewhat larger gains
were made on the ground feed.
The comparative digestibility of
different ground and unground feed
ing stuffs was tested at the Maryland
Station. It appeared that ground
corn and oats were more thoroughly
digested than the unground grain.
In this connection it may be noted
that similar results have been obtain
ed In tests with other farm animals,
but It Is commonly believed that the
difference in digestibility is often not
sufficient to pay for the cost of
grinding.
From all the American tests, and
those which have been made in
Europe, it appears fair to say that
there Is no very marked advantage
in grinding grain for healthy horses
with good teeth.-C. F. Longworthey.
Monroe's Judicial Fight
There is a lively fight in the Monroe-Pike
judicial district, sinoe two
leading democratio lawyers of
Sroudsburg C. B Staples and
Henry Kotz have announced them
selves as candidates for judicial
honors. Republicans will put in
nomination the inoutnbeut, Judge
Wilton A. Erdmau, who was ap
pointed early In the year by Ex
Governor Stone to fill the vacancy
caused by the death of Judge Allen
Craig of Carbon oouuty. .
The situation is becoming inter
esting in the democratio rivalry.
The lines are being tightly drawn
between Kotz and Staples, and olose
observers are in doubt as to the
outcome. Rival democratio leaders
are daily announcing themselves in
favor of either Kotz or Staples. Ex-
Representative Rogers L. Burnett
has decided not to enter the fight
personally, but has announoed him
self in favor of Kotz.
It is believed that the Pike county
democrats will not have a candidate
of their own, but will endorse the
candidate successful at the Monroe
county primaries, which will beheld
the last Saturday in August, unless
the animosity between Kotz and
Staples should become bitter. Then
Pike county will present a candidate
of her own. Easton Free Press.

JULY WORK FOR FARMER3
It Will Pay to Kill the Feats Which
Eat, Corrupt and Destroy
Among the most troublesome in
sects this month are potato bugs,
flea beetles, cabbage worms, pea
lice and striped oucnmber beetles.
A little lime and tobacco water will
drive away the striped pests. One
of the best remedies for the potato
bug Is paris green, one part in from
thirty to fifty of some cheap flour
nd dusted on the vines. For potato
blight this month spray with
Bordeaux mixture.
About the only way to kill tho
linking squash bugs and squash
vine borers is to plaoe boards on the
ground by tho vines and in the
morning crush the bugs found under
them when they will go for conceal
ment. The borer can only be killed
by cntting it out.
Household insects, clothes moths
may be killed in two ways, first by
heating the articles, woolen goods,
furs, rugs, etc, to 140" Fahrenheit
for 15 or 20 minutes or to pnt them
for a few honrs in a closed vessel,
like a wash boiler, with a few
ounces of benzine, carbon bisulphid
or formalin in a shallow dish so the
liquid can easily evaporate, keep it
away from the fire and prolong the
treatment until the pests are killed.
Next air tho garments and beat them
in the sunshine then put away with
moth balls, lavendar, pennyroyal or
sprigs of cedar tn tight paper bags
or pastelmard boxes sealed 'With
strips of paper.
Should any fleas appear place
sticky fly paper under tables,
bureaus or beds and they will be
caught. Red mites on poultry can
be killed by spraying the interior of
the hen house and all roosts with 20
per cent kerosene and water mixture
or wash with suds of whale oil soap
or with kerosene or white wash
frequently. Mix powdered sulphur
in the dust the fowls bathe in and
for lice on t hem sift tho sulphur in
tueir learners. A handful of pow
dered tobacco in the nests of setting
hens is excellent. v For lice on live
stock spray with kerosene emulsion
rubbing it in with the hand or wash
the animals with a tobaoco decoction

Are We Jut to Women f
When I think of the women with
whom I constantly work in Boston,
who are serving with such broad
devotion every publio interest, when
I think of my own wife, and con
sider that such women are denied
the suffrage given to the man just
intelligent enough to run their
furnace and clean their sidewalks,
when -I think of absurdities like
this, I do not need to be told, and
the legislature of Massachusetts
ought not to need to be told, that,
whatever conditions may rightfully
be imposed upon the suffrage.
condition which draws lines like
this dearly is not one of them.
But, while we may have to wait a
few years, all surely ought to see
that the taxir.g of one's property for
publio purposes without giving the
taxed person any voice is in opposi
tion to fundamental English princi
pies. England herself already
clearly sees this, and women there
have now the municipal suffrage.
Surely we ought not to be behind
Old England in this matter.

No Chairman Selected '
There is some talk but no con
clusions reached at Washington as to
who will be national chairman next
year. It is assumed that Senator
Hanna will likely desire to retire
when the proper time arrives. Sena
tor Lodge has been mentioned as a
probable selection but it is pointed
out that it may not be desirable to
have a chairman who is in too close
touch with the presidential candidate
as any decisive action might be
construed as having been inspired.
Suggestion has been made for some
young man to take the management
of the campaign but no young man
has yet been suggested whose perso
nality Is sufficiently forceful to con
vince party men that he is the right
man for the place. This is a year
ahead yet, however, and ample
opportunity to make selection.
