WASHINGTON LETTER
Washington, Mar. 18 Congress has
been occupied witb important question
that have excluded all other subjects
Xbese are tbe flnauoial bill and tbe
Puerto Rioa measure, the last one of tbe
most interesting subjects of tbe present
time. It seems tbat thin favored isle had
oeen more gently treated by opsin than
any otner Of tier losnlar dominions,
Siuce tbe American oooapation it has
oeen raveged by storm and do market
lor ber produots. Its people are suffer
ing great nsrrtebips and tbe delermioa
tion is to offer them good terms, as to
mass toeir lots as comfortable as we oau.
Representative Tongue is one of tbe
ousiesi meo id (Jongress. Whan I saw
bira last be had two type-writers at work
ana tells me tbat it requires that many
experts to do hisoorrespoodedoe. He lets
no business go unanswered, but all let
ters are replied to immediatAlv. Tho
work of a OODliressman in drndimrv if
oe Bitenas to tbe wants of bis constit
uents. There are no more bard workiue
men in this city than tbe Oregon dele
gation.
Membership of important oommitteen
oommands friendship from many who
desire to pass measures pending. The
snocess of a congressman redounds to
tDe advantage of bis constituents: Ou
congressmen ooonpy good positions and
Oregon is favored. No new man can
nil ouch positions until he has earned
them. The man wbo has realized
sucoese, nas tDe beBt obanoe for greater
success in toe future.
Bat the bill in wbiob Senator MuBride
is most interested is in tbe interest of
pioneer soldiers of Oregon and Wasbicir
ton. After working bard lo get an
early report on this bill, Mr. MoBride
made an effort to lake tbe bill out of its
place on tbe calendar, and pass it by
unanimous consent. Ahalfdnzn morn
Senators seem to want to amend the bill
so as to take in soldiers of later Ionian
Wars, BDd finally it had to be laid aside
for regular order. Since that time thn
8enator explained the bill, so that when
it came up not a single objection was
made aod it passed. Senator MoBride
is highly gratified over this result and
has oalled on tbe speaker of the house
lo induce him to favor the bill. Renre.
seotatives Tongue and Moody are already
uuiuk active worn tor the bill, and will
urge early action by tbe committee of
Pensions.
Tbe passage of eisht of Senator Mn-
Bride's bills darina 30 dava evident
bis industry aod influence in the henate.
Other proof, if any were needed, of bis
oigD standing amoDg Kepublioan
leaders, is found in his recent aDDoint-
ment on tbe Exeoutive Committee nf tho
Republican Congressional Committee
wbiob oonsistsof one member nf on norma
from each state. On tbis Executive
Cummitteeof nine members, there are but
three Senators, Procter of Vermont, for
merly Secretary of WT. and. .flaljiniw
Bride of Oregon. To be one of three
Senators selected to manage a great
oampaign, is no small oompliment to a
Senator of less than five years experience
in congress. '
Repubhoan (Senators oonld give no
stronger evidenoe of their confidence in
Senator MoBride tban by plaoing him on
tbis important committee. It shows
tbat RepublioaD Senator consider Mr.
MoBride worthy of tbe highest trusts for
tbe party and the country. Oregon
ought to be pre Jul tbat her native son Id
the Senate has attained enoh at nrling in
so short a time. . 8. A. Clarkb.
War is a Curse.
President Jordan, of Stanford Univer
sity, says: "I think war more than any
other agency destroys the vitality of a
nation.- Take, for instance, tbe present
Britisb-Boer war. Tbe best repreeentn-
tives of both countries are now on lbs
field of battle, War not only makes
widows, bat prevents many marriages.
I am oertainly of the opinon that war is
a curse on any nation, nnless it is
the result of a fight for freedom. 8uoh
a thing as earrying on war for tbe sake
of encouraging imperialistic ideas will
wreck, sooner or later, a nation tbat
tries such a scheme." '
