THE WASHINGTON LETTER
Thore being now no very pressing
lmvrt!nt matters 1m 'fore the Execu
tive branch of tlie government for
consideration and settlement the Presi
dent's cabinet is already on tlie wing
for distant parts of tlie country. The
President himself, and Mrs. Roosevelt
M ill soon visit Groton, fn. , to attend
the cloning exercis of the school
w here their two eldest Ixiys are lxMng
educated. Hecretniy Hay has already
gone to St. Imis to attend the world's
Pre Convention, and deliver an ad
drew before that Ixxiy. .Secretary
Hhaw and Attorney General Knox will
Boon visit the Pacific Const and deliver
a numlier of political speeches, which
are intended to arouse the dormant
public. Secretary Taft has gone to
the wilderness of New York to get rid
of a bad cold and to brace up by fish
ing and resting. Pension Commis
sioner Ware has announced that he
will retire from his position at the end
of the year. ITe only consented t
become commissioner at the urgent
request of the President, and has long
Wished to resign. He gave a banquet
a few days ago to the chiefs in his
division, and paid them a high eonipli
nient for their efficiency, faithfulness
and loyalty. The Commissioner is
certainly very popular, but he prefers
the freedom of his law practice in
Kansas. Undoubtedly he could come
back to Congress if he wished.
Saturday your corresxndent looked
Into the auction rooms where the
magnificent house furnishings and
trappings belonging to Senator Stewart
of Nevada, and which formerly adorn
ed Castle Stewart on Pupont Circle,
have been sent to be disposed of at
public auction. Tlie extent and mag
nificence of the collection is astounding,
worthy of an East Indian or Chinese
prince. The sale is the sensation of
tlie day, and has come near revealing
to the public a scandal in the family
of the millionaire senator. Tlie two
daughters of the senator protest that
the articles belonged to their mother,
and that they should be kept in the
family. The senator has replied, in a
card to the public, that upon the death
of his wife he gave the keys of the
Castle to his daughters and told them
to help themselves. He now sells
what they left, which he claims is his
own personal property. The articles
are largely of Chinese and East Indian
manufacture, but include also rich sets
of furniture rococo style, florid, gilt
and upholstered in Aubnsson tapes
tries, all of French make. Other
furniture is solid etiony and teak wood
exquisitely carved and upholstered in
Persian hand embroidery. Tlie wall
hangings and portiers consist of the
richest and most elaborate embroide
ries ever seen In this country, of
Chinese hand work; great golden
dragons, storks, peacocks, fishes and
conventional designs, on blue and
yellow satin. The colors are very
brilliant and the work remarkable. If
the senator would only give thcae
things to the National Museum he
would be regarded as a public bene
fuetor. It is probable that these price
less articles of Eastern manufacture
came Into his imsscssion from the
Chinese minister who once occupied
Castle Stewart.
Since Cungresa ultered tlie laws,
making only one oftenee ground for
divorce in the District of Columbia,
the divorce lawyers have been put out
of busimti, and tlie press has been
saved the neessity of printing much
scandal. Interest has been awakened,
however, in the announcement that
Mm. JiinieH G. Blaine will seek a
divorce from her young husband,
gixxi nuturedly kuowu as Jimmy
Blaine. ' She is tlie daughter of
Admiral Ilichlxirn of Washington and
married Mr. I Ilaine against the wishes
of her parents. It is averred that she
had an offer of marriage from Senator
l;iw. It Will I recollected thai
Mr. Blaine first married Miss Marie
Kevins who procured a divorce and
tifie.-uitrds married )r. Pull of New
York. The suit will ".bitbly be
proMs'tiied in New York, where the
couple now liviw.

White House. Already the Bouth has
become a great manufacturing center,
while the business of cotton manufac
turing in jsew J-;ngiand Is in a pre
carious condition.
The friends of Secretary Taft, con
sideling his great weight, and his
unusual activity, to say nothing of the
pressure of an immense amount of
business, to which the building of the
Panama Canal has just been added
have felt for some time that the strain
might prove taxi great and his health
give way. His physician has warned
him that he is depleting his power,
and has advised him to camp out for
ten days or so In tlie Adirondack
Mountains of New York. Tlie Presi
dent is anxious for him to go, and he
will do so at once, having cancelled a
number of engagements to speak in
Massachusetts, He is, however, ex
pected to lie present at the Grand
Army reunion in Hartford, Conn. Tlie
secretary is suffering from a cold and

A Comparison of Talent Formerly
Employed by Democrats and Now
The Philadelphia Press, comment
ing editorially on some remnrkg
the Record that the Democrats hav
ing no hope of getting any electoral
votes in this state should make an
effort to got more Congressman, says:
"It is quite the practice for demo
cratic newspapers to characterize our
Congressmen as mediocre. .Why do
th ey not do something to secure abler
democrats in districts where they
can certainly elect? They were not
always contented with the Shulls
and Klines. They once had such
men as Randall, and Woodward, and
Stenger, and Maish, and Speer, and
the elder Mutchler, and Jenks and
Clymer. Those are all men that
will last in the Democratic annals of
the state. They do not nominate
such men any more, and If by any
impossibility they could elect all of
the thirty-two members they would
not turn up even one such strong
character." . . . The people of
Pennsylvania have no use for demo
crats In Congress, and cannot have as
long as the party continues the policy
of the past ten or twelve years. There
certainly is no demand for more
democrats such as those now ordi
narily named as candidates, and
instead of increasing the number this
year the party will have the most
bountiful luck If it shall be able to
hold on to the three it has."
These insinuations are dreadful,
coming, too, so soon after the Monroe
Democrat with painful particularity
pointed out that our Congressman
had fully displayed his statesmanship
By having eight private pension bills
passed. The Press numeration of
able Democrats singularly docs not
Include that Idol of Pike countv
Democrat!, the Hon. Joe, and we
wish to call its attention to this mani
fest oversight. We do not know
why thy amiable Dr. is not fully up
to the average In ability among those
sent from this district for a number
of years. Perhaps he has more. The
Democrat seems to think so. We
cannot, however, promise him our
support. He evidently thinks, If he
gives the matter any attention, that
we have no use for garden sass. Here
the season for planting is past, and
unmindful of our love of pie, sends
us not single punkin seed, our
fondness for beats and not a beet
seed, our partiality for kraut and not
cabbage starter. He has also
neglected our mental pabulum. Edu
cated In the laws of navigation on
the raging waves of Martin's Creek
in old Norseharnpton, polished by
contact with the hardy sailors on the
Pocono In Monroe, he declivers his
matured thoughts and the results of
his study In the halls of Congress on
the subsidy question and never Bends
us a small copy of his eloquent effort
How cau he expect us to enthuse for
him.

A NEW STAGE LIKE
Prompt Transportation Booms Assur
ed and All Will be Happy
In order to facilitate the transpor
tation of people coming to and return
ing from Milford Robert Findlayand
George Wheeler have entered Into an
arrangement whereby they will con
duct the business. It is the Intention
to have one of the proprietors nt
either end of the line so that every
thing may be done as expeditiously
as possible. The passenger business
will be separated from the baggage
and express so that titer will be no
delay. Immediately on their arrival
in Port Jervis by train stages will be
comfortably filled with people and
started for Milford. Arrivinir here
they will be distributed to their
several destinations with as little
delay as possible. Baggage and ex
press matter will be brought down in
separate wagons and promptly de
livered. A committee has been ap
pointed to confer with the proper
authorities to have the evening mail
at Port Jervis delivered at least
twenty minutes sooner so there may
be no delay and bring the mail here
earlier in the evening. The new
management will use every endeavor
to render prompt and efficient service
and to satisfy the demand for quicker
time and more expeditious transpor
tation. There will be no increase In
the rates of fare or charges for parcels
and baggage. The management of
the line will cheerfully make every
effort to satisfy the public and ask
that inattention on the part of drivers
or any just cause of complaint be
made to them for rectification.
Selling Impure Articles
A couple of Honesdale men Inst
week were arrested, charged with
selling Impure blackberry brandy.
They gave bail for their appearance
at court. It may seem a hardship to
prosecute men who may he free of
any intention to sell impure goods,
but something must stand between
the seller and the Innocent purchaser
who pays for what he supposes to be
a pure article. The vender of goods
should buy only of reputable dealers
in the state, or if he buys of firms
outside he should in some way hold
them responsible that the goods are
just as represented. The law is the
only protection the consumer has and
the merchant by proper care can
protect himself and place the risk
and responsibility on the manufac
turer or wholesaler, and if he does
not he himself must stand the fine.
