WASHINGTON LETTER.
~Eee
From our Regular, Correspondent. )
WasHinaTon, D. 0. Jan 14, 98.
How can a President who 18 an
honest and conscientious birme-
tallist keep a Sectetary of the
Treasury in his Cabinet who is
so wedded to the gold standard as
to endorse the statement that
bimetallism"a double standard"
ig an impossibility? That was
the question asked in the minds
of many when Secretary Gage,
sitting beside the chairman of
the House Committee on Bank-
ing acd Currency, endorsed that
statement made ex"Senator
Edmonds, President of the so-
called monetarv conference, and
believed to be the paid attorney
of the gold riag, who appeared
before that committee in behalf
ofthe goldstanaard bill prepar-
ed by the Commission. The
question would probably not
have been asked had not Senator
Chandler just previously stated
hat he had Mr. McKinleyTs own
word for it that he was in favo?
of bimetallism, and to clinch his
statemént added: oMr. McKinley
jg ag good a bimetallist as I am.�
Tt that is true. Senator Chandler
ean hardly be a good bimetallist,
notwithstanding his constant
claims to be such.
Sonator Chandler at the same
time said that Mr. McKinley
told him that the international
pimetallism fake was not dead,
and thathe intends to send the
commission to Europe again. A
considerable number of voters
were probably fooled in the
Presidential campaign by that
international bimetellism plank
of the republican platform, but
Mr. McKioley wust have lost
much cf the political shrewdness
with which he has becn credited
if he beleives it can be used to
fool them again.
So fav as they can be seen, the
results of the first weekTs coDsi-
deration of tho Hawaiian treaty
by the Senate arenot satisfactory
to the adyocates of annexation,
Last woek when notics was given
thai the treaty would ba taken up
Monday and considered daily}
until disposed of, its friends were
yery confideni that votes enougi
were insight to furnish the two-~
thirds needed for ratification, and
it looked as though their confi-
dence was justified. Presto,
change: And ratification is
again ia doubt, owing to the de-
fection of Senators who had been
counted for it. Among those who
have charged aad come equarely
out against ratification are Sen-
ators Thurston, of Nebraska, and | weg:

Gear of lowa, .
claim to have been influenced
by the sugar beet industry of
their states; and
of Ill, are now placed in the
doubtful column. Unless Mr.
McKinley can whip these Sena-
tors back into line, or bbe them
with patronage, into voting for
annexation, there isnTt much
probabilityof the treaty being rati-
fied. |
The boss of the big boss is
what they are calling Senator
Joseph Firealarm Foraker just
now. There isn't the slightest)
doubt that Boss Hanna owes his
election to the Senate to Foraker, . .
nor that he would rather have}
owed it to any other man in the
world. Foraker was in Washing-
ton waiting for Hanna, through | &

Mr. McKinley to get.down and ask
for his help and agree to his
terms. Hannathought he could
buy his way through without
regardto Foraker. At the last
minute he gotrattied and notified
Mr- McKinlev toT get ForakerTs
help on the best terms ho could,
but to get it. Ittook Mr. McKin-
ley and Senator Foraker two or
three hours to come to terms,
but it the end Foraker had his
way 2nd had sent the telegram to
Columbus that ensured HannaTs
election to the Senate. The
terms upon which Mr. McKinlay
secured ForakerTs assistance for
Hanna were, of course, secret
but they probably include much
that would interest Ohio repub-
licans and were certainly advan-
tageous personally to Ioraker.
The irrepressible Jerry Simpson
injected a little amusement into
debate in the House by telling
the antiTs that whether they would
be allowed te consider a bill for
tle modification or repeal of the
civil service law, later cn, would
depend entirely on the Speaker,
of whom he added: oHe is the
whole thing and runs the House.�
Amid the laughter, which follow"
ed Eli Quigg, Boss PlattTs man,
tried toget funry by turning to
Jerry and asking: oNo; he
never consuks me and I never
consult him.�

Matthews resolution, o declaring
that the United States bonds are
payable in silver, at the option of

offered by Serator Teller, and

There has been right much contro"
versy during the last year in the cotton
growing States over the cotton acreage.
There have been numerous remedies
sugzested and conventions ~ealled and
they have discussed the situation pro
and con, they have enacted and resol ved
and despite all this and the heavy
overflows in the Mississippi valley
which retarded cotton planting to so
Jate in the season that many thought
that the crop would be cut shorT from
this one cause fully two and a half
million bales, and yet after all this the
cro» 1s about to turn out the largest
crop ever crown in America.
This problem of overproduction of
cotton is a mest alarming ene for not
only the farmers, but tor all classes of
people especially in the South Atlantic
States, and from many years of expt=
rience in the pastit is clearly demon-
strated beyond a doubt that the holding
of conventions in different parts of the
South to curtail the acreage has availed
othing. This ean be attributed " to
several causes but most important to
our tind is the fact that the class of
farmers that you want to reach rareiy |
attend or are influenced by these con"
ventions. Then again each farmer
figures to himself that his neighbor 1s
going to redzee and hence if he
increases he will get a better price for
his crop, and the trouble is that ail
On the whole the
valculate this way,
cotton farmer is the most cheerful and
hopeful scul in the world.
How many men in other professions
would conduct a business, year after
year, When they know at the end of
each year that theirs was a losing
game. Put the cotton farmer hopes
and hopes against hope and during the
tall and winter months be is gloomy
and downcast, but as the spring ap-
proaches and a tew conventions are
held to resolve against a large acreage
he again assumes his contented frame
of mind and cheerily goes to work to
grow another big erbp of cotton. He
works hard himself and works his
children hard and in the fall sells his
cotton again fer five or probably six
cents, This same old thing has been
going on now for the last five years
anda glance? at the condition now of
numbers of our farmers, who ten years
ago were well to do, happy and pros"
perous, will convince any one that a
chanze is absolutely imperative. This
condition has come upon us by such
degrees that its awful effects could net
be perceptibly felt at first. There hes
been some talk of. governmental
the
acreage. The acreage ought to be
restricted but this plan is thoroughly
interference to restrict cotton,
mpracticable.
Conventions to date aave accom.
plished nothing and the only rélief it
seems to us lies with the farmers thems
selves. Each individual tarmer is a
factor and if ~they will start at the
bottom of the ladder, that is, let each
community get together and agree that
they will only plant so much cotton to
the korse and stick to it,in @ years few
successful experience would unite the
farmers and once thoroughly united on
this live no power could break in,
The country is ail right for another
year. Congress has made a big
appropriation to continue the free ~seed
distribution.

Congress has talked out on the
discussion to repeal the civil servite
law and is now tackling the question of
annexaiing Hawaii. Anything to kill

~Perhaps one of the strangest ex-
periences I ever had was in connec-
tion with the terrible Ashtabula ac-
cident. It was by the narrowest
escape that I missed it. I had been
in that city for a day and a half and
had made arrangements to take that
very train when, as I stepped out of
the hotel, I had some trouble witha
stranger. He was about half drunk,
ready to fight, and when I happened
to jostle him he turneu and punched
my head. Of course I had to punch
back, and we were both arrested
and locked up. One of my customers
bailed me out, and rushing to the
hotel I grabbed my satchel and was
off for the train. I was within a
block of the depot when ITT"

Tablets.
Interesting Experience of an Indianap-
olis Gentleman,
No trouble is more common or more
misunderstood than nervous dyspepsia.
People having it think that their nerves
are to blame and are surprised that they
are not cured by nerve medicine and
spring remedies; the real seat of the
mischief is lost sight of, the stomach is
the organ to be looked after.
Nervous dysreptics often do not have
any pain whateverin the stomach, nor
perhaps any of the usual symptoms of
stomach weakness. Nervous dyspep~
sia shows itself notin the stomach so
much as in nearly every other orgar, in
some cases the heart palpitates and is
irregular, in others the kidneys are
affected, in others the bowels are con-
stipated, with headaches, still others are
troubled with loss of flesh and appetite,
with accumulation of gas, sour risings
and heartburn.
_ Mr A W Sharper of No 61 Prospect
St Indianapolis, Ind., writes as follows:
A motive of pure gratitude prompts me
\to write these few lines regarding the
new and valuable medicine, StuartTs
Dyspepsia Tablets. I have been a
suflerer from nervous dyspepsia for the
last four years, bave used various pat-
ent medicines and other remedies
without any favorable result, They
sometimes give t: mporary relief until
the effects of the medicine wore off. I
attributed this to my sedentary habits,
being a bookkeeper with ~ittle physical
~exercise, but I am glad to state that the
tablets have overcome all these obsta-
cles. tor 1 haye gained in flesh, sleep
better and am better in every way.
The above Is written not fez notoriety
but is based on actual fact.

A WOEBEGONE COUNTRY.
Life In Algeria as an English Writer
Describes It.
The Algerian question, says a
writer in the London Times, is de-
pendent not upon men, but upona
simple physical phenomenon, a ques-
tion of temperature, a matter with
which God alone can deal. If Algeria
were 2 degrees farther south or
10 degrees farther north, all would
be changed. Instead of a region,
which is neithgr European nor co-
lonial, we sh@uld have the most
marvelous country In the world.: It
would beat Santo Domingo, Ceylon
and India, because, being at the very
doors of France, 48 hours from Paris
and 60 from Brussels and London, it
would be a suburb of Europe,
whither, 15,000,000 or 20,000,000 of
emigrants would came to cultivate
coffee, indigo, vanilla, sugar, cotton,
pepper"in a word, all colonial prod-
acts. On the other hand, if it were
situated 10 degrees farther fo the
north Algeria, whose virgin soil con-
tains mineral wealth at present in-
capable of exploitation, would rival
Normandy, Auvergne, Beoune and
Picardy, as well as the plains of Bel-
gium. It would be the land flowing
with milk and honey of the Scrip-
tures and would contain no longer a
population of 10,000,000 to 25,000,-
000, but after 50 years one of 30,-
000,000 or 40,000,000. It would be-
come an empire"the African em-
pire. a
But, as it is, what is the condition
of Algeria? The sugar cane has no
sugar; itis inferior bamboo. The
coffee berry is empty. The cotton
is too short for spinning. The cocoa
palm is incapable of bearing fruit.
The indigo plant comes to nothing.
The pineapple does not ripen. A
hothouse is necessary for the va-
nilla. Of spices we had better not
speak. There is nothing here to com-
pare with Brazil or India. And for
European produets it is still worse.
Corn becomes hard in the third year.
A mealy potato is a myth. Oxen
in the fourth generation dwindle
from 800 kilograms weight to 150
pounds. Fowls are poor, fruit
wormy, even the banana being
pasty. True, there are a few good
oranges, but the wine is harsh and
rough, the sugar of the grape not
being capable of being entirely con-
verted into alcohol and carbonic
acid.
along the line.
The human race shares in this de-
generation. Rare are the children
of a third generation who do not
succumb to memingitis, tuberculosis
or aifections of the spinal marrow.
What is to be done? How fight
against these conditions which affect
all living organisms, plants and ani-
mals? There isno remedy, Lite"
pardon the truism"is a question of
temperature. Beyond or within cer-
tain limits it is death. In cold re-
gions or lands occupying bastard
zones every living thing is blasted,
and Algeria, in spite of its fascina-
tions, of its admirable sites and of
the fruitlessness of its soil, is sub-
ject to this law of what I may call
~obastardization.�T Everything there
is still born. I putaside the burning
question of race, the hatred of which
is doubled by the scorn professed -by
the Mohammedan for the Christian
dog. ILinsist solely on this brutal
fact, which has never been noted"
that in Algeria it is always too cold
or too Warm or not cold enough and
not warm enough, and that for this
reason the country is, as it were,
under an evil eye.
Discouraging.
A young matron of an inquiring
turn of mind consulted a fortune
teller the other day. ~Of course,
ITm not really superstitious,TT she
said, as she recounted her experience
to a teacup coterie. ~But I had
heard wonderful tales of his skill in
palmistry, and as I had always had
a-horror of a lonely, loveless, poor
old age, I thought ITd ask him what.
he could tell me about my future.�
oOh! What did he say?� asked
a young thing, in her teens, who
was making calls under mammaTs
wing.
~He told me my disposition first.
Told it very well too. Said. I was
married and would never be a wid-
ow; that I was well off in this
worldTs goods and would probably
have a good deal of pleasure before
I died. I insisted on the old age ques-
tion, whether or not I would be hap-
py or lonely at'70. His answer was
cheerful. It has put my doubts to
sleep. He said, very solemnly,
~Madam, you will not have an un.
happy old age, as it is extremely
unlikely that you will live to pe 40.T
Encouraging, wasnTt it?TT " New
York Commercial. }
In short, there is a rebuff all!

VANDERBILTTS START.
Daniel Drew's Story of the Help Given
by Mrs. Vanderbilt.
oOne stéry about Commodore Cor-
nelius Vanderbilt was told to me
many years ago by Daniel Drew,
and I have no doubt but that it is
authentic,T said a man who has
known intimately the men who have
made New York history during the
last half century. ~~ Various stories
have been printed about the begin-
nings of VanderbiltTs fortune, and
they all go to show that luck played
a very insignificant part in them.
Vanderbilt madé money because of
his,energy and his shrewdness, but
I donTt believe that it is generally
known that Mrs. Vanderbilt aided
him very materially at a time when
he thought a good investment was
slipping through his hands because
~pat ot enough money to take
advantage of his pportunity..
oDaniel Drew knew Vanderbilt
well, and: before his death he fre-
quently entertained his friends with
stories about: the commodoreTs early
life. It was when Vanderbilt was
simply an energetic young cap-
tain connected with the Union line
for Philadelphia and Baltimore,
~through to Philadelphia in one
day,T that the incident of which Mr.
Drew delighted to tell uccurred. In
those days the steamer Emerald,
Captain C. Vanderbilt, left her wharf
on the north side of the Battery at
noon every day, Sundays excepted,
with passengers for New Brunswick
and back by boat for the pleasure of
the trip. New BrunswickTs hotel, or
halfway house, was dirty and ill
kept. Mrs. Vanderbilt saw her op-
portunity. She suggested to her hus-
band that they should take the ho-
tel, refit it and run it in a style that
would attract guests. Vanderbilt
thought well of it, and after leasing
the hotel he took his family from
his fatherTs little house at Stapleton
to live in New Brunswick. As Mrs.
Vanderbilt had suggested the
scheme, her husband told her that
she might run the hotel herself and
have the profits. ~
~~Mrs. Vanderbilt was a strong,
industrious, frugal woman, and she
turned the hotel upside down, clean-
ed it and made it fit for guests. She
named it Bellona Hall, after the
steamship Bellona, which her hus-
band then commanded, and ina very
short time the fame of it had spread
to New York, and parties were
made up to visit it because of the ex-
cellent fare to be found there. It
also increased the profits of the line
for which Captain Vanderbilt work-
ed, and his salary was increased to
p2,000 a year. For 12 years Mrs.
Vanderbilt managed Bellona Hall
with profit to herself and pleasure to
her guests.
~During these years Captain Van-
derbilt had been studying steam-
ships and investigating the chances
for profit in traffic on the Hudson
and along the sound. He wanted to
be one of the transportation mag-
nates of this city, and, although his
fortune was small, he had valuable
ideas, gained from years of practi-
cal experience as a steamboat cap-
tai 21, andhe felt sure that if he could
get the right opening he need not
fe: r the greater wealth of his rivals,
He ~ad never questioned Mrs. Van-
der. ]tTs management of the hotel,
but he knew that she had saved
some money. In 1829 his opportu-
nity came. He had a chance to get
a controlling interest inasteamship
for $18,000. He had $5,000 in cash
which ho had saved, but he didnTt
know where to raise the balance, He
told his wife about this steamship
which he wanted and explained to
her his plans for making money if
he could get the ship.
~**T need, $18,000 more,T said the
captain, ~and I donTt know where I
can get it.T
~Twill give it to you,T said Mrs.
Vanderbilt. Aud to her husband's
surprise she pulled the money out
from under the bed, She had saved
it from the profits of the hotel. Cap-
tain Vanderbilt bought his boat, and
then he bought many others, but his
first shin he owed to ~his wife.TT"
An ArtistTs Ruse.
A Roman cavalier commissione�.
a great artist to paint his portrait,
no definite price being agreed upon.
When the portrait was finished, the
painter asked 100 crowns in pay-
ment. The highborn sitter, amazed
at the demand, returned no more nor
dared to send for his counterfeit
presentment, whereupon the artist |
hit upon the happy expedient of first
painty#g bars across the portrait,
then affixing the doleful legend,
~~Imprisoned for debtTT and finally
pacing it in a prominent part of his
studio, to which Roman nobles fre-
quentiy resorted. Ere long a rich

Robert Llancock, reraemvuer
standing before this community and |
declared guilty of the repulsive charge,
as youare, that your barden of shame|
and guilt 1s not alone resting upon
your own head,
Your guilt, until disproven, rests not
alone upon your name and character,
not simply upon your disgraced family
and kintolks; but it strikes av your
every triend and associate by whom
and through whom you have received
favor; it places them in a discredited
light before the public, for they with
you must nang their heads in shame
until Robert Hancock clears himself of
the Ierdict of public opinion now held
upon him.
Andabove these, Robert Hancock,
are your associations in this community
in your public capacity in railroad
affairs, in municipal matters, in the
county government, on questions of
education.
Can you go among your associates
with this verdict of oguilty� declared
against you, without at the same time
making every possible effort to vindi-
cate yourself of this frightful charge
hanging over you, your family, your
friends and this community?
You cannot, and every evasion, and
every postponement of a full investiga-
tion, will only strengthen the public
verdict of your guilt and fasten more] We can be found at any andA..
securely the odium whica rests upon!times in the John Flanagan
this community."Newbern Journal Buggy Co's building.
