THE WASHINGTON LETTER.
President Roosevelt's nomination
as republican candidate In 1904 is
rrrtaln. Daring the past week his
chances of being tho choice of his
party were diseased on nil sides
here and his indorsement whs
Btronnor than even his friend has
anticipated. A dozen United States
senators and a snore of national com
mitteemen, who know the sentiment
In their respective states,' have (riven
out interviews in which they state
positively that tho president is the
only man to succeed himself. These
statements were issnd In reply to
an editorial from a party paper In
Ohio which questioned the Advisa
bility of nominating Mr. Roosevelt.
The opinion of the committeemen
who are now in session here is es
pecially important. George R. Bhol.
don of York, said that if Mr. Rooso.
velt conld not carry the Empire
State, he knew of no one who could.
Governor Murphy of New Jersey
declared his state was on record for
tho president without doubt. Na
tional Committeeman Brooker of
Connecticut gave assurance that
there was no question about the
nomination of Roosevelt in his state.
Mr. Van Fleet gave oimilar a sur
ance for California. Iowa was cer
tain according to Committeeman
Hunt. Roosevelt sentiment in the
State of Washington was expressed
by former Senator Wilson, and
Colorado's by Committeeman Stev
erson. Of the Southern states,
Virginia, Louisiana, Georgia Flor
Idia, and Maryland and Missouri
will send Roosevelt delegatos to the
National Convention according to
the assurances of their committee
representatives attending the pres
ent meeting. Politicians from Ohio
declared that Senator Hanna had a
host of friends but they knew he
would not be a candidate. Other
Committeemen added their names to
this list of Roosevelt indorses, and
of all who, expressed their opinions
only two states, Alabama and Mis
sissippi were opposed to the presi
dent. In these two states there had
been quarrels over the federal pat
ronage. Of course neither of them
will count anything for the republi
can candidate in the final election.
Senators Frye, Hale, Dolliver,
Penrose and Piatt of Connecticut
were among those who issued state
ments earlier in the week to the
effect that the president's noniina
tion was certain. Opponents of the
president's nomination have been
crushed and no doubt silenced.
"All of interest to the republican
party that centers in this meeting
can be told in one word, that is
success ' And all that is necessary
to bring about that result is to stand
pat upon the principles and policies."
These words from Stnator Hanna,
as ha called to order the republican
national committee, in its initial
meeting at the Arlington Hotel,
brought forth hearty applause. As
the roll call of all the state was read
there were but 12 absentees, who
were represented by proxy. A blank
proxy sent to Senator Hanna by an
absent member was fillod in by
Porry S. Heath, the secretary of the
committee, who will thus have two
votes. The first business before the
committee is the selection of tha
city in which to hold the conven
tion Chicago and Bt. Louis lead in
the contest, with chances ia favor of
the former, although St, Iouis is
making "very attractive proposi
tion." Among the communications
read by the secretary was ouo from
.committee of New York citizens
asking to be heard in executive ses
ision on the defense of the rights
of disfranchised voters in the South,
and another from the Economic
League of New York asking a hear
ing on the quoation of the preven
tion of the growth of Socialism.
In tho afternoon tha iiioiuucri of
the commit te were received by the
president, lis knows nem-Jy all of
them personally and the greetings
were cordial. Mr. Heath was not
present at the reception. The tora
luiitee will be in session seveialdays.

not cope with the si tun tion. For
several days it has been reported
and also denied that 1100 Columbian
froojis were landed from Cartagena,
near the Atratro river on tho Gulf
of Darien and near Panama's
boundary. Their purpose is to march
over land to the cities of Panama
and Colon. As such a march is ex
tremely difficult, if not impossible,
and as it would take at least a month
the war department will have plenty
of time to intercept the invaders.
Such war like action on the part
of Columbia is strongly dt-percated
by Dr. Ilorran, the charge d' affairs
at Washington, and General Reyes,
who is commander-in-chief of the
Columbia forces. Owing to Secre
tary Hay's illness, General Reyes
has been unable to see him to term
inate his miss. It is known thai
the general has informed his govern
ment that there is no hope of pre
vailing on the Uuited States to
retraco its steps, and that the only
chance cf accomplishing anything is
to secure satisfactory peace terms
with the new republic
The canal treaty has been sent to
the senate and is now in the hands
of the committee of Foreign Affliiirs.
President Roosevelt's justification
of the admistration's course con
tained in his message, has met with
general approval among republicans.
There is no doubt that the few dem
ocratic votes necessary to get two
thirds majority of senate will be
easily secured. After obtaining the
floor for a speech on Cuba, Senator
Morgan made another bitter attack
on the Panama policy of the presi
dent. It looks as if Senator Hoar of
Massachusetts would also oppose the
Administration, although ho is a
republican. Southern politicians,
however, are warning the democrats
not to make an issue out of the
Panama affair.
A Commission to consider and
recommend legislation for the devel
opment of the American merchant
marine is provided for in a bill in
troduced in the home by Represent
ative Gardener of Massachusetts.
The commission is to be composed
of the secretary" of the navy, the
postmaster general, the seoretary of
oommerce and labor, and three
members eachof the house and
senate. It is to investigate and re
port to congress at its next session,
what legislation is desirable for the
development of the American mer
chant marine, commeroe and a
national ocean mail service.
The Lady or the Tiger?
The victory of Tammany in New
York City is an event of more than
focal significance. It may be called a
national calamity. It is also a
national object lesson.
it shows the great difficulty, under
present conditions, of getting and
keeping decent municipal govern
ment in our large cities. The good
men will be at an undue disadvantage
as long as they have to go to the
ballot box without their natural
allies, the good women.
A New York daily paper, which is
opposed to Tammany but also oppos
ed to equal suffrage, asked just before
the election, "On which side are all
the forces that niuLe for righteous
ness?" It enumerated these forces,
and named among them the good
women. "On which side," it asked,
"are the good women?" There is no
doubt on whien side they are, but in
the election they were not counted.
Mrs. Frederick Nathan, president
of the National Consumers' iA-ugue,
v ho believed in equal suffrage, said
at a recent nnti Tammany meeting,
"The hero of Stockton's story did not
know behind which door he should
find the lady; but the voters of New
York know perfectly well beforehand
behind which door stands the lady,
and behind which the tiger." If
women had had the ballot, Tammany
would not have returned to power.
The result of the election is deeply to
he regretted for the sake of New
York; but it ought to bring a great
increase of membership to the Equal
Suffrage Association. Alice Stone

STATE GRANGE MEETING
Report of Worthy Master Some
New law Derived
Pennsylvania Grangers held their
annual meeting in Wllltea-Hnrre last
week. Some 600 delegates were In
attendance. Worthy Master Hill, In
his annual report, stated that the
year Just closing hns been a very
fruitful one, several new granges
having tieeti organized and others
reorganized. Pomona granges have
also been established in McKean and
Potter counties. In only two other
states have the grangers as much
grain as In Pennsylvania. The
grunge press bureau is in successful
operation and news letters are sent
weekly to 3U0 newspapers. Com
menting on the work of the legislat
ive committee, Master Hill said:
"Several measures of Interest to
farmers were acted upon at the last
session of the legislature, but road
hills seemed to be most in evidence.
Finally a road bill was passed that
represented something of Interest to
nil concerned. The law was not what
the farmers wanted. While the
appropriation of $l,2.r0,000 is shame
fully small for so vast a subject, "it Is,
nevertheless, a step in the right
direction, and will have the effect of
committing the state to Its public
roads."
In closing, the master made the
following recommendations:
The equalization of taxation.
The general establishment of rural
mail delivery.
The extension of trolley aud tele
phone service through the country.
The placing of a grange in every
township In the country.
Secretary J. T. Ailninn, of Juniata
county, In his annual report, said
that tho membership had Increased
5,000 during the year and twenty-six
new granges had been organized.
At a session of the grange the
State Librarian, Tliomns L. Mont
gomery, read his annual report which
showed his department to be in a
very flourishing condition.
El wood Pomeroy, of New Jersey,
president of the national direct legis
lation committee, delivered a lengthy
address.
The treasurer, S E. Niven, of
Chester county, reported that there
was a larger surplus In the treasury
now than at any time since 1800.

Fishing Through the Ice
Attorney General Carson furnished
State Fish Commissioner Mehan
Monday with an opinion, in which
he decides that fishing with a line
through a bole in the ice, attached to
a short stick spanning the bole,
popularly known as "tipup," is a
legal means of taking fish, provided
it lie confined to one line, with not
more than three hooks.
Mr. Carson says it may be fairly
construed as a hand line, but a faeries
of holes, through which hand lines
lire used, connected as they are by
the solid muss of ice and multiplying
the hands of the owner in taking fish
amounts in e fleet to a set device,
which is not permitted by existing
acts.

Somerville, Professor of Ulyptology
in the U. P., hns a very interesting
artiole on his experiences among the
savage tribes of the Sahara while in
search of Amulets and Talismens
for his magnificent collootion. He
recounts some very narrow escapes
from death because of the supersti

from whom he obtained articles
venerated by them. On one oocasion
ho had bought a devil-chaser for
five dollars, but the bead men of the
settlement having learned of his
success in obtaining the fetich sur
rounded his camp and ordered them
to move on. They had to pack np
and decamp without much order lu
the going, a howling mob of men
and women accompanying them on
the journey. The Sengalese tribe
which he visited is a mixture and
has not profited greatly by ooutaot

NEEDS AN EXPLANATION
Where Thnre i so Much Difference
in the Coat of Two Bridges
Should be Explained
The Itawley Times, speaking of
the management of Wayne county
bridge affairs, draws a comparison
between the prompt and economical
action of the Wayne commissioners
as compared with the way things are
done by our board. This may cnll
for some explanation which we will
he pleased to furnish if our officials
will give the figures. The Times
says:
The best kind of business men
should control our affairs, and such
we have in our present board of
County Commissioners. During
their ineumlieney of the ohlce which
hns given them control of the affairs
of our county, and which they have
so faithfully administered, destructive
floods have carried away many of our
bridges, tfie replacing of which has
made a large demand upon the time
and ability of the gentlemen. The
stupendous task has been conducted
throughout with vigor and gtxid
judgment.
Of this we have a sample In our
borough. On Oct. 9th the bridge
at the Eddy was one of the many
carried away at that time. Ten days
from that time work was commenced
on the temporary structure which
spans the river, and on the 22d it was
open for travel. On Nov. 3d concrete
abutments for the new bridge were
begun, and Saturday last, Dec. 6th,
were finished, liy their indefatigable
zeal the supports are ready to receive
their burden and are substantial and
artistic. Here we see the ability of
the commissioners If we compare the
cost of this temporary bridge with
others on the same stream but erected
under other supervision: for instance,
the temporary bridge at Rowlnnds,
Pike Co., we are informed is being
erected by contract at a cost of 800,
while the one at the Eddy of nearly
the same length was placed at a cost
of260. Certainly such comparisons
reflect to the credit of the Wayne
county commissioners.
Distribution of Seeds -The
Department of Agriculture Is
making preparations for- the usual
free seed distribution farce which
congress annually puts upon the
shoulders of the secretary. A resolu
tion has been Introduced In congress
to abolish this fake and restore the
free distribution of seeds to its original
basis, from which It has degenerated
into the present wholesale scattering
of hundreds of thousands of little
packets ol common vegetable and
flower seeds, under the fianks of the
various congressmen and senators.
The idea embodied In the original
distribution of seeds was that un
known or untried varieties and
species might be tried in different
sections of the country where it was
believed they would Increase the
value of farm crops. This Is still an
entirely legitimate undertaking of
the government. The department
has a number of agricultural explor
ers constantly traveling over different
parts of the world, studying the
different crops and buying seeds and
plants for trial in this country. Must
of our agriculture has been developed
from crops grown In other countries
and new things are constantly being
discovered which enrich our agricul
ture millions of dollars annually. A
liberal congressional appropriation
for this purpose, the expenditure to
be left in the hands of the secretary,
would be legislation really in the
interest of the farmer, but the present
system is simply the result of legisla
tion which looks to the supposed
benefit of each congressman desiring
to make himwels solid with his con
stituents through tiie distribution of
little packets of turnips, cabbages and
radishes.
