WASHINGTON LETTER
OUR WEEKLY BUDGET FROM
THE NATIONAL CAPITOL
The Uprising in Panama Report of
the Governor of Hawaii Negroes
Served at the White House.
The Political Situation.
Washington, D C, Nov. 11th.
Events in Pnnama are being
watched here with close Interest,
and it is the general opinion thnt the
revolution will bo successful and
thnt the new Republican del Isino
(Republic, of the Isthmus) will suc
ceed in establishing its independ
eenco, and gaining Its recognition by
this country. The secession of Pan
ama from Columbia whs almost a
foregone conclusion after the Bogota
government rejected the canal
treaty. Fanama is geographically
sparate from Colombia nnd tlio in
terests of the two states are antag
onistic, so tint when Columbia at
tempted to block the canal, a separ
ation was rnovitablo. Pana::ia has
declared her independence, adopted
a red, white and blue Aug, placea a
triumvirate in the charge of the
government, expelled all the Colom
bian troops, who would not join in
the revolution, and has now received
a partial recognition by the United
States. American warship have
arrived at each side of the Isthmus,
marines have been landed and this
oouutry has made clear its purpose
to maintain an open traffic on the
isthmus, as it is obliged to do by the
treaty of 1846. This treaty was
signed with New Granada, a nation
of which Colombia is the remaining
fraction. It addition to the obliga
tion of our government to maintain
open traffic across the isthmus at all
times, we agreed also to guarantee
New Granada (now Colombia) in its
sovereignity and property on the
isthmus We have recognized the
de faoto government on the isthmus
and authorized our consular officers
to do business with it. Senator
Cullorn, chairman of the Senate
Committee of Foreign Relations, is
deeply interested in the revolution
and says he hopes a government
will be established so that the
United states can negotiate a canal
treaty and proceed with the con
struction, His opinion is generally
adhered to at the Capital. In rec
ogni.ing the sovereignity of the new
republio we should have to consider
it as the part of New Granada to
which the treaty of 1846 applied,
just as we now consider Columbia.
Panama is a very small state, about
250,000 inhabitants, and if independ.
ent, it would como under the virtual
protectorate, if not into actual pos
session of the United States. This
is the opinion held by the European
powers and in their desire to see
the canal completed they seem to
make no objection to the Isthmus
coming under control of the United
States.
The elections last Tuesday brought
much satisfaction to republican pol
iticians here, who ftre still discuss
ing thorn with reference to their
effeot on the presidential campaign
next fall. The grand victory in
Ohio insures Senator Hanna's re
eleetion for another senatorial term,
Completely discredits Tom Johnson
as a political leader, and allows that
the hit to will boa stronghold for the
party next full. Iu Masachusetts
the democrats were'prevonted from
getting control of a republican shite
and the political ambitions of Rich
ard Olney were quieted forever. In
New York city the municipal cam
paign became a parly on-, and of
course the democrats won. They
always carry the city, but seldom
the state. The republicans nmrje
many gains in the rent of the state
and added to their majority in the
legislature. The democratic alli
ance willi Tammany is ccrUiu to
injure their party, New York state

Coneerned, those men who have
trained the most by tho rlcrtinns are
Hearst and Gorman. -With the
exception of Hearst s papers, the
entire press of New York city was
against Tammany, and now the suc
cessful candidates are culling at
tention to this fact and expressing
their gratitude to Representative
Hearst. As Mayor-elect MoCellan
was born in S:txony ho is not eligi
ble for the nomination and ho will
no doubt support Hearst, who is
making great efforts to win the
labor vote. Senator Gorman has
the proslipo of having carried his
state, and is the champion of the
Southern attitude on tho race ques
tion, lie is regarded as a "safe"
candidate and the "money power"
is said to favor him. It may be
Gorman or Hearst or perhaps Gor
man and Hearst, or may be Hearst
and Gorman.
The annual report of the governor
of Hawaii has been received by the
Secretary of the Interior. It shows
that there has boen an increase in
commerce in the territory, advises
that a limited immigration of Chin
ese be allowed, and recommends a
slight duty on coffee to protect the
native planter who is unable to com
pete with the foreign Importers.
The population of the territory is
composed of Hawaiian, Fortiipne.so,
Japanese, Chinese, Scandinavian,
Spanish, British, German and Amer
ican. There are mnny marriago"
between Hawaiian women and white
men and a few between Hawaiian
women and Chinamen. The off
spring of both classes of marriages
seom to be an improvement on the
pure Hawaiian. Unless there is an
increased immigration from Ameri
ca, there is grave danger that owing
to the numerical inferiority of Anglo
Saxons, the islands will come under
the complete control of tho Oriental
races. The public schools have done
more than anything else to lessen
race prejudice in the territory, and
the mixed populat'ons seom to get
on well together. Under the recent
militia law passed by congress, the
Hawaiians have undertaken to build
up a strong and etlloiont National
Guard.
Senator Gorman has been furnish
ed with some more "Booker Wash
ington dinners," by the fact that
five negro bluejackets of the United
Sin tea Navy, together with about
two hundred of their white compan
ions, were served refreshments in
the state dining room at the White
House where the sailors, in com
mand only of petty officers, had
been received by the President and
Mrs. Rocsevelt. They were enlisted
men of the U. S. Mayflower and
Sylph which are lying iu the Wash
ington navy yard and which wore
used by the president and his fami
ly very often last summer. The
commissioned officers bad nothing
to do with the reception which was
given the enlisted men of the navy
by the Comuiander-in-Cbief of the
Army and Navy.
Lieutenant General Young, chief
of staff, of the army has just decided
that the garrison in the Philippines
shall consist, from now on, of nine
regiment of infantry and four of
cavalry. No further reduction will
bo made until barrack accommoda
tions can bo provided for in tho
United States. Tho present forco is
the largest that can be sent without
interfering with the Alaska and
Purto Rico service.
Forestry Experiment Station
It was announced lust week from
tho Yale School of Forestry at New
Haven, that a fore.it experiment
station would ba established here
next spring. It will bo located on
the lands of Mr. J. W. Pinchot,
who not only furnishes the grounds
and buildings for the station, but
also provides funds for the work.

Farmers' Institute
Farmers should remember the
institute to be held here December
30 nnd at Dingmans Ferry Decern
bor 30. Ona of the questions which
might be disoussod with profit is
how best to? reclaim laud whioh has
been oovered with sand. Whether
where the sand is very deep it would
be practical to plant, for instance,
alfalfa which roots deeply. It is not
likely that any one has had much
experience with just the conditions
which exist along the valley, but
some might have experimented with
very sandy laud or have knowledge
by observation of how best to treat
it and what plant it would be most
advisable to use in the effort to
recover humus.

prominent families in the valley.

Schaeffer on Education
Dr. N. C. Schaeffer, State Super
intendent of Public Instruction, gave
some very aooiuea views .or. the
question of the overburdened publio
school curriculum at a recent sea
sion of the Lancaster County Teach
ers' Institute. His utterances cre
ated much comment among the
pedagogues,
lie declared it was of more im
portance to have a knowledge of
reading, writing nnd reckoning than
of whados, butterflies as.d Baltimore
orioles, on which he had heard a
number of learned discourses
from instructors at summer school
teachers' conventions.
Dr. Shaeffer pleaded with the
teachers to bo not distracted by
extraneous subjects to the detriment
of the three essentials named above,
and at the same time emphasized
the importance of drawing and
geography. He gave his approval
of instruction along the lines of
domestic science aud industrial
training.

Door hunting is the fad now. It

Last Saturday there was a pnblio

Where Dowie "Got It"
The Rov. Dr. Henaon, of Brook
lyn, vouches for the truth of this
story about Dowie i
"There was a Baptist ' minister
living in a rural town with a salary
of $600 a.year. That minister had
an epileptio son. His wife had come
to have faith in Dowie, and, after
trying every other remedy, the min
inter and bis wife appealed to this
healer. What did he do? He
promptly asked them how much
money they had. The good wife
anxious only for her son, said they
would raise all they could. Thty
sold their cow and raised fCO. The
cow was the chief resouroo of the
family, for it gave more milk than
the congregation. They wanted to
stay with a sister .in Chioago, but
Dowie declared that it would never
do. They'd have to stay with the
elect if they wanted to be cured.
That meant they had to board at
the Dowie hotel at enormous rates.
Well, they exhausted that 160 and
raised (40 more, then left Zion, their
boy still the same epileptio."
That, says Dr. Honson.is the way
Dowie has accumulated his millions
It is only a sample case. Boston

Congress Meets
Congress "convened Tuesday in
pursuance of a call by the President
to consider tho legislation necessary
to put into operation the commercial
treaty with Cuba which was ratified
by the senate at its last session, and
subsequently by the Cuban govern
ment. The President's message is a short,
lucid and convincing statement of the
case and deals with no other subject.
The argument is based on the grounds
of national interest and national
honor. We have a large trade with
the island which is susceptible of
greut expansion and this reciprocity
treaty will build up the industrial
Interests and prosperity of Cuba.

THERE SHOULD BE A NEED
FOR EVERY BUSINESS
la There Any For the Baloon and
Could it Not be Dispenned
With to the Benefit of
the Community
The proof which any business
must give of its right to live is thot
a legitimate demand by the people
for what it produces has brought it
into existence and contributed to its
growth. The business that can not
bring this proof is either wasting
the people's substanoe or is a natural
enemy to their best interest. To
put it in a shorter way, an industry
has a right to the rospeot and pro
tection of the law only when a need
has created it. Not mere demand.
but need, must create supply. When
we bring the liquor traffic before
this judgomont bar it stands oon-
djmned.
First, take the milling business.
The need of the people for cheaper
and better breadstuffs has built the
flour mills of the country. This
need in turn has created a demand
for a greater number of mills to
grind the wheat. Suppose that every
flour mill in the United States should
burn down today. A ory would go
up all over the land. Flour mills
would spring up again as by magic.
Why? Because bread is a nooessity
and wheat must be ground. In this
ease the need has created the busi
ness. This gives the mill the right
to stand as a friond to man.
Again, take the shoe industry.
We must have shoes. Every winter
would bring intense suffering, and
even death, to thousands, if peoplo
were compelled to go with naked
feet. Burn down every shoe factory
and millions of bleeding feet would
cry out in mute appeal for protec
tion. The shoe man, then, has built
his factory to meet a real need, and
so he has a natural and legitimate
place in society.
Further, consider the mining of
ooal. The frantio cry of a half
frozen people as a result of the
anthraoite coal strike is proof enough
that coal Is a necessity.
Burn out every shaft and flood
every mine and thousands ot facto
ries and homes would dig into the
earth in a night. Why? Because
fuel is a necessity. In this case,
also, it was a need that digged the
coal mine. This stands the test and
must remain to bless mankind. And
God's power is abroad to make
strong the arm and true the heart of
the man who digs and strikes and
blasts at the peril of his life for the
oomfort and happiness of his
brother.
Can the traffic in liquor prove its
right to live by this argument? Let
us see. It is plain that this business
exists and expands, not by meeting
a need, but by creating an abortive,
unnatural craving for that which
brings only mildew and death. Need
had no place here. It was the cold
tnetallio fist of calculating greed
that built the distillery and the
brewery, and only when life is dis
torted and prostrated can it enlarge
iteolf. It reverses the order of
legitimate barter and trade. It
lives and grows fat, not upon merit,
but by bribery. It feeds only the
craving of a hellish mania The peo
ple live not by or through it, but in
spite of it. Raze every brewery and
distillery to the ground and what
would be the result? No real need
or comtort or opportunity would be
taken from the peoplo. On the
other hand, comforts and oppor
