Washington Letter. From ear regular Correspondsnt. WASniNOTON, Nov. 23rd. 1896. The firBt round between the McKinlev and anti-McKinley republicans baa been fought, and the McKinleyites have won, but the victory isn't substantial enough to cyfw over. As quick as it was known that the republicans 'had won tbe Na tional election such men as Senator Sherman and Speaker Reed began to an nounce the necessity tor pushing the Dingiey bill or some similar revenue measure through the senate at the short session, if it could possibly be done- That caused a lining up oE republicans tor and against the Dingiey bill and the contest waa getting lively when the word was paseed that McKinley would not have the Dingley bill put through. That ended the round. The Dicgley bill is dead, and the anti-McKinley re publicans ara temporarily licked, but they will have their innings later on and will do their part towards showing the country how badly divided the republi can party is even on tbe tariff question, and the financial division will not be overlooked either. The fitty-fitth con gress promises to be one of the livliest ssen for years, and although the demo crats therein will not be numerous enough to accomplish much by voting as a party, there is no guessing what they- may do by holding the balance of power between the republican factions in the senate. There are some things in wbich this country might take a few profitable les sons from older nations, and one of them is ta the wording of official reports which are intended to be made public A case in point is the annual report of the Board of Ordinance and Fortification. This board is composed of prominent army officers, including Gen. Miles, and has ex-Congressman Outhwaite for a civilian member. In its anxiety to im press upon congress the necessity for large appropriations for coast defences, tbe board made the mistake of using the following language: " "Should a conflict arise we are liable to be embroiled with some power whose navy, n the present defenctlees condition of our coast, might destroy or exact enormous ransoms from onr chief citiee." That sort of stuff may do very rell in the- sensational newspa per offices, but it is decidedly out of place in n r.R 1 ilvnmanl: Tt ia thm nnhli cation ct that style of matter in official reports, for this isn't the first time it has been done, that has made every country owning a lew modern warships cocky in its dealings with ite United States, be cause of the bslief that fear of the di et rnciiou of our seacast cities will make us stand almost anything from a country wi'hanavy. Chilli had that idea sev eral years ago, aad Spain has it now. w hile there is no doubt that these gen t'.emen meant well in using such lan guage, such a report would never have been made pnb'.ic by any European pow er, and it should not have been publish- - ed here. Ex-Senator Walsh, of Ga.t now visit ing Washington, retains the editoral fac ulty of stating the situation in a nut shell. He said: "It is to be sincerely ' hoped that prosperity will come to the country tbrocgh tbe incoming adminis tration. Every patriot hopes for that. The republicans will have the responsi bility, and if their methods and policies . are for tbe general good, to them will belong the credit. But if they fail to carry out tbe promises they have made, that if entrusted with power, great bene fit would accrue to tbe country, then the democracy will meet them at Phillippt Any man who reckons that the demo cratic party ia dead is making a serious mistake. If I am not greatly mistaken it will be very much alive in 1903. Those who always jump to conclusions have taken it for granted that McKinley would send to the senate for ratification, the treaty negotiated daring the hut dare of the Harrison administration, providing for the annexation of Hawaii, ' which was withdrawn by Mr Cleveland. He will do nothing of the eort. He is opposed to the wording otthat treaty and will not send it to the senate at all. McKinley, while not opposed to annexa tion, will take no steps toward that end until fully assured that tbe people of Hawaii desire annexation and shall have foimally asked for it. Then he will agree to tbe negotiation of a new treaty . Election Suggestions. If the eame amountof money bad been used by each party Mr McKinley would not have been elected- If the gold dem ocrate had not voted and worked for Mr McKinley he would not have been elee ' ted. It follows, as the night tbe day .that Mr. McKinley owes his election largely to the nee of money contributed by the great corporations and syndicates of this country. Above all, he owes his election to tbe untiring efforts and loyalty of bis friend, Mark Hanna. The next element of political effect wasthe constant cry of danger' possible to rise from the election of Mr. Bryan Fear that a panic might take place, fear that some kind of a reign of terror in the future m:ght be precipitated and that Mr. Bryan would not stand np - agains it, fear that in some way the land would be deluged by "30 cent dollars'' and by a return of our bonds and stocks from foreign countries, fear of imaginary ills that might eooie to tbe country from an untried man and from the party that haJ the support of tbe extremists of the populist party all theee had a tendency to concentrate the votes of many of tbe conservative people and carry th-m into the Republican ranks There was another element very pow erfal in this country, and that was the influence of the administration in power. t,,i.i.:;.n i - i nau iiiis luineisce ueea laten away or kept neutral Mr. Bryan would have been elected bv an over i helming majority. The fact ia the election, wag tarried by the agents ol corpora r.or.8 and the ad ministration . Hired democratic lawyers went over the land and talced to the people just as they would talk for aoy client Delore a jury., Sever in the his tory of this country was there such con certed and determined action as by tbe gold standard men iu this last campaign. Cleveland Plamdea'er. I he republicans carried Cleveland O., the home of Mark Hanna, by 10 000 ma jority in 1893. This year, when soond money swept all the principal cities of he country, when even the democratic strongholds gave McKinley huge majori ties, Mr. Uanna's home city went for MeKmley-by only 3,590, a redaction of (5,500 from the republican ma jority in an off year. This is an im portant fact wbich Mr. Hanna omiii from bis detailed secoont of how he and he alone compelled the country id save itself from diatonor.' It would seem that where Mr. Hanna was beat known the sound money campaign was most hampered by bis plutocratic affilia tions. World now getting in ' A black mu named Wtiite has elected to the next congress. been Since the election a Council Bluffs cashier has aboconded with $10,000. Short sessions of congress are long enough. Mr. McKinley will please take warning- Many men have enough wheels in their heads to fly, and some day there may be men flyer. Thos H Tongue will not wag officially at Washington until aJter March 4th and then not until December unless there is an extra session. mmammmmmmmmmaammmmmmmmmm - A Saa Francisco man, Ureer Harrison, walked flftv miles on his sixtieth birthday, just to show what he could do.

He is accused of having the swell-head. An Iowa paper has nominated Cleve land for president in 1900. This will be useless as Cleveland is to reside in Princeton and no New Jersey man ever gets closer tbap vice president. At a recent operatic performance in New York City the women appeared with their hats off. No audience ever appeared to as good advantage and peo ple were delighted, and shouldn't they be? A big dry goods house In Washington refused to trust Mrs Cleveland because it was the rule of the house not to trust. Tbe papers are putting big beads above tbe item. Hereafter the president's wife should be better supplied with cash. Next Wednesday FiUjimmons and Sharkey are to fight ia San Fraocieco. It will be a one sided affair it. favor ol FUxjimmons.

Three or four pages for a single game is a small matter, and the man who makes a long run or dives head-first through the line past a goal ia a Lero. Tbe Northwest has Hoaie grand seen ery. Referring to the picture shown by Kolaad Grant a Hartford paper said : "Every one was made to feel tbe troth of Dr Grant's eta lenient that Switzerland bas nothing to match the magnificent views whicn be presented, and many in tbe audience were conscious as they lett the church of a desire they bad never felt before to see with the.r owo ej es the most wonderful scenery in tbe world Within our own national borders. The New York World says about 5.000,000 turkeys were received in that city for nse on Thanksgiving. Lets see, One turkey ia enough for eight or ten people, but put it at five. That would make 5,000,000 turkeys enough for 25, 000,000 people. As given eac'j person in and around New York, including Brooklyn and adjoining towns, say 2, 500,000, people wouli eat two turkeys apiece, which any one knows is not true. It is probable tbat not more than half the people ever saw turkey at all. Th figures are a sample of tbe present news paper style of exaggeration. Good Son of a zMta Man. Every morning except Sunday a tall, well built, sturdy looking man, with a smooth face and clear sparkling eyes, mounts a bicycle in front of a modest little frame cottage at 3402 Tracy avenue and rides away to bis work, eaya tbe Kansas. City "World." As be spins along the thoroughfares, bis well pro portioned figure showing to good advan tage in a neat fitting suit, many admir ing glances are cast bis war. Probably one person in a hundred recognizes him He is tt e son of the late Jesse James. His name is also Jesse Jesse T. but bis friends and acquaintances call him "Tim," because, probably, Timothy James, when spoken, is not to liable to excite the cariosity of stranger as would tbe name of Lis noted lather. , Jesse T. James is now twenty years old. He ia regarded by bis friends and neighbors as a model young- man hon est, sober and indurtrious. Be is time keeper in tbe Armour Packing Company's plant, where for five years be has been employed. His employers regard bim highly, and delight in extolling bis mer its. Jesse or Tim supports bis mother and sister. He bas just finished paying for their moderate little borne, which is a story and a bait frame building, with a porch ruoning along one side- Miss Maria James, bis fijier, is now seventeen years old. She is a seet-facee young woman, of a rather retiriog disposition. Fhifl is her third year - in hitch school, and next year she expects to graduate, tier brother is very proud of her, and Mrs. James, a motherly looking woman, with rather sorrowful eyes, is very proud f ber children. "Do 1 know Tim James son of Jesse?" said an employee of the packing-house, repeating tbe question of a reporter for tbe "World." "Well, I should say I d?, and I don't know anything bad rf him, either. He's one ot the best young men I ever knew steady, bonest, accommodating why, you never met a nicer fellow in your life."

Who stands by a city and her people like a newspaper?

The strike was made about fifty feet from the vein and right on tbe surface, where it bad been trodden over for at least twenty fire years. A good sized vein has been discovered which goes over $1,200 ter ton. A strange and most peculiar phenome non occured at the mine of the Santos Reyes, in Chihuahua, receutly. An enormous meteor fell from the sky dor tng a stoini. Tbe meteor struck the mountain side, bringing down a huge mass of tbe cliff, and buried itself in tbe ground. The steam is still issuing from the hole. The meteor destroyed tbe house of a miner in its path and killed two children. Mr. Bryan bas writtfcu an article for the Review ot Reviews- Tire Oregon ian is very much concerned about the dear peopla being made weary. Mr. Bryan doesn't make people weary. His cam paign speeches showed him to be a man of wonderful versatility with fresh iJsas, though, of course the main arguments had to be the same, just as they were with Mr. McKinley, and with every oth er campaign orator. None, tboogn, U;s played feuch resources as Mr. Bryan, and his friends will tncresae. I a Japan, that laud ot gentle manners and other queer things, they bare iu vjoted vegetable meat. The substance U called in the vernacular, "torfu." It consists mainly of protean matter of the sayo bean and is claimed to be as easily digestible as meat. Torfu is as white as snow and is solid intablrts; it taste like freh malt. What with mineral yy, wood silk, and vegetable meat, and other articles of food and wear made by science, Nature may as well ko out ol business at once. Tbe South Africa gold Gslds do not seem tbe most desirable place on earth for miners. Wages are out of all pro portion to the price of living. Miners receive at the most $20 per week, and board cosU from $12.50 to $15. The price of water varies from 10 to 25 centi a gallon ; a two-pound can of fruit is from SO to 90 cents ; floor about &50 per ton, or $17.50 per 100 pounds ; horse feed from 18 to 20 cents pr pound ; a quart bottle of beer is fl, and everything else sells at outrageous prices . The majority of tbe miners are boarding themselves the best way tbey can, so as to save enough money to lake them out of the country. In this country when ore speaks of tbe plain people as opposed to plutocracy, he is accused of arraying class against class. In Germany, when a protest is made against the rigut of military offi cers to marder civilians with impunity, the minister of war objects to it as class baiting. To question tbe privileges at tained by tbe classes is regarded by tbem everywhere as revolutiouary anJ sub versive. It was Mr. Lincoln who first spoke of "tbe plain people" and tbeir rights and duties, and he was not a revo lutionist. It was Mr. Gladstone who spoke of popular movements for enlarged liberty as "the oiaue apaiost the class es," and be did not wish to subvert any thing wbich deserved to live. In fol'ow .ng the leadership of each men no one will make a mistake. The right to ai sassinate citizens will evidently be lost by tbe German military classes, and in this country the clastes will in tbe end have to recogn'Z9aod submit to tbe wilt of tbe plain people, who, - when aroused and determined, are tbe sovereign pow er.
