WASHINGTON'S SALUBRIOUS
CLIMATE.
Glory for the Volunteers-Dewey An
swer. Invitations to Receptions
by Requestin Provisions for
His Disabled Soldiers.
Washington, D. 0., Judo 16th.
In this region of cyclones and
blizzards it is a pleasure to be
able to tell the world around as
here that there is a country on the
further border of the Occident
where such terrible destruction of
hopes and lives is never known.
Even here, at the Atlantic sea
board, there are cataclisms of
nature that make ones hair stand
on end when nothing more disas
terous happens. The recent cy
clone in Wisconsin has served to
"point a moral and adorn a tale."
The intense heat of last week
has moderated and we have cooled
off in a rather disagreeable way.
There has been a raioy spell that
has reminded Oiegonians of the
old state on the other side. But
that same old state seems to be
rather overdoing the moisture fea
ture. Every day we look at the
weather report to see if there is
any mitigation of the precipita
tion. There is none, the downfall
seems continuous, and what the
consequences will be is a matter of
solicitude. This seems to be an
exceptional year, not equalled by
any that we veterans can remember.
The rains have made the world
here appear most beautiful. There
is wonderful luxuriance about the
foliage and the woods are full of
flowers. ;"
There is so little going on in the
way of political matter that cor
respondence would suffer if one
had to depend on politics for an
interest. The Oregon boys are on
the way home just as the war as
sumes more potent features than
ever. It is useless to talk of sub
duing those wretches with an army
of 30,000 men. We may keep
them busy and kill off any number
of them, bat that won't binder
them from bash-whacking and kill
ing off good men who are sent
there to sustain the honor of oar
common country. The only way
is to put so great a force in the
field as to make them see that we
are in earnest and sure to conquer.
The Oregon boys have done well,
but there are many other regi
ments who have also done well,
winning glory for the volunteer.
That popular son of Oregon,
Henry H. Gilfrey, will fill his term
as representing the senatorial force
at the capital tomorrow. When
congress adjourns there remains
part of the clerical force on band
at the secretary's office, to attend
to any business that may come a p.
Senators often have something to
be looked after, or there will occur
something that pertains to the
business of the past session, or
that is to come. To have all mat
ters in proper shape, part of the
clerical force remains at the sec
retary's office during vacation time.
I understand that Mr. and Mrs
Gilfrey and their two daughters
will spend some time at Atlanta
City in the near future. Atlanta
City is one of the most popular
and famous of watering places on
the Atlantio seaboard. I was there
s few days last season and had to
acknowledge that nothing seen iu
the past bad equalled the variety
Hnd charm of that summer resort
As I may visit there some time in
the near future, it will not be worth
while to eay more now than that
our friends will spend part of the
summer months there. Senator
McBride was also intending to
spend some time there, as relief
from the cares of his Washington
duties.
But the joy of summer outing is
to go with my brother's family to
Block Island, on the ocean out
from Newport, and west from Long
Inland, to board with some family
of that region and, leaving the
preat hotels for particians to pat
ronize, loiter about, studying the
history end tradition tbat telJs of
old times wheu pirates made that
their headquarters, and of terrible
wrecks that were of oldest time.
The greatest feature of all was to
lie on the grassy headland of Mo
hegan bluffs, to watch the sea from
that height and see the ocean traffic
go and come. You can see the
smoky trails of ooean steamers go
ing from New York to Liverpool,
or in-bound from Atlantic voyages,
for many miles.
The departments give Washing
ton all the character left to it at
this season. Last year there was
the war with Spain and Dewey's
Manila victory to give variety and
surprise as the summer months
went on; but there is only the Fili
pino atrocity to flavor the political
atmosphere at the present time.
There is not even enough vitality
to William J. Bryan to give the
coming campaign cbaraoter and
certainty. There is no Hying cause
or effect to which the immortal
Watson's aphorism can apply and
the query fitas lo "Where are we
at?" As to his candidacy and the
relavance of democracy to living
causes. Thre is nothing to rely
on in politics and so little in othe-
questions that the world has to
consider what it had "rather do o-;
go fishing." Cleveland, of course,
had rather go a fishing.
However, the politioal world has
the watering places left to gather
inspiration from and there is
where the wire workers and plot
ters gather the inspiration to
plunge the world into that sort of
fratricidal war. Meantime the
steamers run regularly to up and
down river localities, and the trains
go out on adventures, and the re
ports of new inventions for air
ships came with usual regularity.
The glory mongers are as busy
as ever working up some scheme
for the glorification of Admiral
Dewey, and to refloot as much as
possible on themselves. It keep;
the aforesaid Dewey busy answer
icg invitations to hundred dollar
dinners and expressing his desire
that any fund gathered for himself
shall be utilized to put op an asy
lum for his disabled sailors. It is
possible that Dewey will win as
much fame by his disinterested
ness as bv his sea battles. They
say ht never dodged anything shot
at him in a sea fight, bat these
land schemers make him dodge
their missives all the time. How
ever, it is well enough for thof
glorification mongers to learn that
there actually are men who will
not take their money in whatever
shape offered, unless it can be
earned in regular course of duty.
If this letter has little fact to
redeem it, your readers will excuse
it when they understand that tha
writer has been busy for the past
week assisting to make interesting
an entertainment to be given Fri
day night for the Dewey fund. At
(his effort Dr. Stafford will take
part. He is a Catholic divine who
possesses distinguished talent. The
effort is seconded by officials of the
government, and will be held in
the Grand opera house. The song
to "The Hero of Manila" was writ
ten by an Oregonian and set to
mnsio by Prof. Santleman, leader
of the Marine band, the finest in
America. A poem, "The Battle of
Manila," will be recited, which was
also written by an Oregonian.
These matters have kept your cor
respondent so busy that corre
spondence was a minor feature.

RIGHTS OF FILIPINOS.
Government'. Position Stated by Attorney
General GrljtKS.
Special Dispatch to the Globe-Democrat,
Washington, U. O., Jane 18 The
President does not like lo be quoted per
sonally, but be eoconragea members of
Ibe Cabinet to make plain tbe position
of tbe administration. Quite recently
Secretary Gage gave to tbe publio two
statements intended to explain tbe
Pieeident'e oivil servioe order. He did
eo after consultation with tbe president
and after tbe matter bad been carefully
revised. At an earlier period, Seoretary
Wilson was tbe mouthpiece of tbe ad
ministration for tbe vig irons expression
of disapproval at tbe oourse of General
Miles in bis unwarranted charges assail-
iug a leading Amerioan industry. Post
master General 8mith has in tarn voioed
tbe views of tbe administration in rela
tion to Cuba.
And now Attorney-General Griggs bat
given a statement setting forth not
simply bis own opioion, but tbe position
of tbe President regarding tbe interna
tional obligations ossumed in tbe cession
of tbe Philippines. General Griggs'
statement follows;
'Tbe United States stands bound to
all other countries as tbe responsible
sovereign of the Philippine Islands. It
oannot, consistently with its interna
tional obligations or itaownself-respeot,
assume any other attitude. To attempt
to shift international responsibilities to
any ill-formed or partially formed in
surgent government would be to shirk a
responsibility solemuly assumed by this
country, and would subjeot tbe United
States not only to tbe ridicule, bnt to
tbe just contempt of all nations.
"Tbe theory that there can exist in
any indefinite body of people tbe right
to substitute their own will or self-constituted
sovereignty of any particular
territory is contrary to reason and to
all international praotices. Tbe rightful
sovereignty of those islands at the pres
ent time is indisputable in tbe United
States. Any insurrection against its
authority in the Islands is unlawful
just as nnlawful as though it arose in
Porto Kioo and tbe United States is
justified in putting it down by force.
"Ibe sovereignty of Spain was never
transferred in any manner which any
other nation has reoognized as valid to
tbe insurgents, bat was by tbe treaty of
Paria transferred to tbe United States
by solemn convention, whiob convention
was ratified by the Senate of tbe United
States, and that trausfer is universally
recognized by all nations of tbe world.
"There is one consideration respecting
tbe United 8tates and tbe Philippine
Islands that ought to be dearly under
stood by those who approve or those
who disapprove the administration's
oourse. That is, tbe question of sover
eignty, as that term is used and under
stood in the technical and international
sense. Tbe sovereignty of a country or
territory can not rest In more than one
nation or body. It can not at the same
time rest in Spain and in tbe insurgent
forces, olaiming lo maintain a govern
ment in tbe same territory.
"It is admitted that in this interna
tional sense Spain bas for more than 800
years exeroised all tbe rights and powers
of a sovereignty over the Philippine
islands. Spain was responsible not only
for tbe internal oootrol and government
of tbe islands, but likewise was respon
sible to tbe other nations of tbe eartb
for all matters of an international cbar
aoter relating to those islands or totbeir
people,
"This does not imply, however, that
tbe future polioy of the United States
towards those Islands is fixed. What
ever tbe United States shall hereafter
do by tbe way of granting to tbe people
either independence or local self-goyern-men!
will be a matter of discretion, to be
determined by right and justioe and ex
pedienoy.
"Those who oritioise or oppose tbe
administration in its efforts to maintain
tbe authority of tbe United States in tbe
Philippines might just as well oppose
its efforts to maintain law and order in
Porto Rico or Alaska or to pat down
insareotion ooouricg within those terri
tories.
"Tbe question is not one of party
politics, but simply of national duty, and
ought to be approached and considered
by oar citizens from their sense of duty
to this oountry."
Opportanlty Not Lacking,
Merobants in small towns are oon-
etantly oomplaioiog of a lack of oppor
tuoity.says Profitable Advertising, yet
it is just suoh localities that tbe greatest
opportunities in the world to make hits
are found. Take a town of 1000 in
habitants, wbere a weekly newspaper
regularly serves the population with the
latest news, and then suppose some en
terprising grocer, drygoods dealer,
olotbler, or other business man should
suddenly oommenoe to advertise in
metropolitan style why, it would ore
ate a mild sensation. His store would
be visited by hundreds who never before
had patronized biro.

THE DANGER FROM SMALLPOX.
The Importance of Vaccination In Stopping
Its Spread.
Tbe Walla Walla Union says: Tbe
prevBlenos of smallpox in various parts
of tbe state should arouse the people lo
a sense of the danger should tbe disease
smoulder through the summer to break
out as an epidemio when cold weather
begins again. No part of tbe oountry is
free from tbe disease, nearly every state
having a larger or smaller number of
oases. In tbe eastern 'cities the, atten
tion of health boards,, state and municl
pal, was directed to lbs needs of general
vacoinatiori among the people. If this
is done tbe danger of an epidemic next
winter may be averted. Tbe remedy
lies with tbe people themselves, and it
tbey can be aroused to tbe importanoe
of vaccination and then avoid tbe
dangers from negleot or omission.
The immunity of this oountry from an
epidemio of tbe smallpox has oreated
false sense of seoarity and a negleot of
its preventative. Tbe harmful resalts
of such a polioy have been demonstrated
many times, Gloucester, England, giving
a striking illustration a few years ago.
A New York paper gives a pertinent
proof of the effeots of vaoolnation and its
negleot by oitlog tbe situation in France
and Germany 25 years ago, as follows:
"In 1871 Germany lost 143.000 lives by
smallpox. In 1874 a law was passed
making vaocination obligatory in the
first year of life, and compelling its repe
tition at the tenth year. The result was
that the disease almost entirely disap
peared. At present tbe lose of life from
it throughout the empire is soaroely over
100 a year. At the time of tbe Franoo-
German war tbe German government
bad its oivil population vaooinated
optionally, while tbe Freoob popula
tion and army were vacoinated perfunc
torily. Both were attaokedby smallpox,
tbe Frenoh armv losing 23,000 men and
tbe German 278.
"Such illustrations of the eflloienoy of
vacoination and of tbe harmful effects of
its neglect, of which many oould be
cited, ought to impress the public with
the danger of carelessness. It Is doubt
ful if they will, however, unless they
are pressed borne by eduoation and
authority."
