OcToBer 9, 1897.* WASHINGTON LETTER.(From our Regular Correspon ent.)Wasuinerton, D. ©, Oct 8, T97-"A week in Washington withoutthe leunchirg of a negcare would seem quite strange,it has been so long since therewas one. The war scare of thepresent week was based upon theing the piacing of orders for agillion dollars worth of smoke-:less powder for the Navy, as soonas the money could be madeavailable to pay for it. This isreally about the most war-likestep yet taken by the administra-tion, and it is not surprising thatit should have created a sensation.Tt may be a bluff, and there maybe no intention to purchase sucha large quantiiy of smokelesspowder. There would certainlybe no use for it, except for fight-ing purposes. [t 1s the belief ofgome very cool headed men thatunless the administration canbluff the new Spanish ministry itwill be in a position where itmust choose between fivhtingand backing down, and thestrongest opponents of the ad-winistration do not believe it willback down, simply because to do80 would be to arouse such pub-lio indignation that every mem-ber of the administration would!be driven in disgrace to privatelife. Americans can stand a lot,but they wouldnTt stana a back-down from Spain on the pazt ofMcKinley's administration.The country is beginning togee that those who charged Kx-Secretary of State Foster withmaking a mess of his sealingnegotiations with Great Britainknew what they were talkingabout. Englands notification tothis government that it wouldcnatake no part in the sealing con-ference to be heldin Washingtonhas opened the eyes of the worldto FosterTs bungling. Represen-tatives of Russia and Japan arenow on their way to Washingtonto take partin the sealing econ-ference, those goyernmentTs hay-ing accepted the accurances ofPoster that England had promis-ed to also take part, when it haddone not so. Months ago Prof.Elliott said that England had noidea of doing so.When a man gets down every-body seems disposed to give hima kick. The case of SenatorWellington, of Md., is an instance.Months ago, before Wellingtonhad made that fool exhibition onthe floor of the Senate, BossHanna asked him to make someand he agreed to do so. SeveralQhio engagements on accountpf his health, of any other oldWellingtonTs health had compell-ed the cancellation of his Ohioengagements to speak One of|HannaTs Ohio friends, speakingof Weliingtot,said: oHanna hasbeen afraid of ~Wellington ever, . , aoour eyes, and our own breathMen earry their minds as forthe most part they carry theirwatches, content tc be ignorantof the constitution and actionsince he made that monkeyspeech in the Senate, and wasdetermined that he should not bealluwed to speak in Ohio. Hisadoption of a gentle hint pre-vented embarrassment to all con-cerned �A well known newspaper man,just from Ohio, said: oDuringthe pass two weeks, 1 have beencampaigning with Senator Han-na. The audiences. that haveturned out to hear him have notbeen large, nor, to tell the truth,have they displayed a greatamount of enthusiasm. ~The firstweekTs meetings were in thenature ot a ~frostT, but latterly theattendance has improved. Thefactis that the Republicans, forsome Cause, seem apathetic.�Mr. McKinley is yery anxiousto have the country balieve thathe is not taking sides to the hotfight now going on in greaterNew YorkTs municinal campaign,and statements to that eniect arebeing sent ovt from Washington.But these statements fool nobodyec or those who wish to be fooled.Mr. McKinley is with Boss Platt,and every Federal official in NewYork knows itand is acting ac:cordingly. He wants Boss Plattto win, and doesnTt care a snapwhether it be with Tracy for acandidate or with a compromisecandidate secured by the with-drawai of both 'I'racy and Low.He wants Platt to win becausethat would give him a strongerhola on the New York delegationto the next Republican Nationalconvention, which Platt haspledged to the support of Mr.McKinley for a second term.Nobody in Washington will begreatly surprised if tne Demo-cratic National Committee shoulddeclare Henry George to be theregular Democratic candidate forMayor of New York.It is unofficially stated that theboard of Naval officers chargedwith the duty of investigatingand recommending to the Sec-~retary of the Navy the best placeall things considered to. locate agovernment plant for the makingof armor for naval vessels haspractically decided that the bestplace for the plant is in the southand that their choice 18 betweenAlabama and Tennessee, with thechances slightly in favor of theirrecommending the latter. Thisrecommendation will go to Con-gress, Which will decide whetherthe plant shall be established.Seve AT CERT TRAR TAL ERCGEMS OF THOUGHT,With mest people nothing is sofirmly believed ss that which isleast known."Montaigne.Humanity is never so beantifulas when praying for forgiveness,or else forgiving another."JeanPaul.Every man has power to accom-plish good, and our Divine Makerwill intallibly extend to him Hisassistance in the hour of trial."Goethe.A beautiful behavior is betterthen a beautiful form; it giyes ahigher pleasure than statues orpictures; it is the finest of thefine arts."-Emerson.Half the cruelty of the world isthe direct result of stupid inca-pacity to put oneTs self in theother manTs place."John Fiske.A well: plumed song has amarket value in excess of themost weighty and deep drawnsigh ever issued."Peter Peculiar.Of the future we know nothing,of the past little, of the presentexcept those who are easily fool.-- |within, and attentive only to thelittle exterior circle of thingsto which the passions, life index -es, are pointing.
