WASHINGTON LETTER.


hNtit''i vi '-l'piidtli't W hlb.
WASHINGTON, Sept. %. 1896.
The better the news the harder we'll
work, is the motto which governs Republi-
can headquarters, and it is being lived up
to. The silver men are on the retreat in
every state in which the Republican Ma
lional and Congressional Committees have
made real fight for Mckinley and honest
money, but as yet the retreat is orderly
BY redoubling their efforts, the Republi-
can managers believe they can make it a
complete rout on the Sd of November-so
complete that the free coinage of silver
by this country alone will never again be
made National issue; and nothing less
will satisfy them. They are working with
all the vim and energy they could put into
the campaign if the chances for Republl-
can victory were doubtful instead of the
victory being assured as it is. This pleases
all the visiting Republicans, as it enables
them to 90 home and tell their friends that
there is no danger from overconfdence on
the part of the men who are managing the
campaign.
Chairman Babcock, of the Congressional
committee, is now giving special attention
to the Congressional districts, and by the
middle of October he will know about
what the size of the Republican majority
in the next House will be. Two years
ago when Mr.. Babcock gave out his figures
they were hooted at by the Democrats and
many Republicans were disposed to smile
at them, but when the returns came in, it
was seen that they were based upon direct
information from every Congressional
district Mr.. Babcock is proud, as he has
every right to be, of his record as Chairman
of the Compression committee. He doesn't
believe in the wisdom of making big
claims based on nothing but hope, as the
possible always to obtain information as to
how at least ninety per cent. of the districts
will 20, several weeks in advance of the
election, and he wants the public to take
his figures as careful estimates and not as
mere bluff for effect.
The using of the official organ of the
knights of Labor as a campaign document,
by the Bryanite managers, has beeA quickly
followed by ugly charges against prominent
officials of the X. of l.. These charges are
made by responsible parties and allege that
drafts have been drawn on Mr.. j. l..
Norris, Assistant Treasurer of the Demo,
cratic National Committee, in favor of
Master Workman Sovereign and Gen.
Secretary Treasurer Hayes, who are in
immediate charge of the Journal of the X
of L., published at Washington, and that
similar drafts have been drawn in favor of
officials of the X. Of l.. at Chicago Gin
cinnatti and st. Paul, and paid through a
| Washington Bank. The stir created by
these charges is by no means confined to
the members of the X. of l.. who do not
approve of the selling of the influence of
the organization to Bryan, hut extends to
all who are opposed to bribery as political
agent, and may result in rumpus Of large
! dimensions in the X. of L.

MATCH BOX OF
THE NEW WOMAN

Until this year the matchbox has been
the unquestioned exclusive property of
man. Never once did he think of such a
thing as the fairer sex borrowing it. He
may have had presentiment of her laying
claim to his necktie, but his matchbox
never, says the Chicago Tribune.
But the bicycle girl, who makes what
ever she wants possible, has now laid siege
to mans matchbox. If she contemplated
riding at night she needs matches to light
her lamp, and necessarily she must carry
them in a MATCHBOX
That is the reason that there are any
number of new match-boxes this year
which are smaller and more dainty than
anything in this line ever seen before.
"Do the girls buy them?' prominent
ieweler was asked. To which question he
answered. Eyes, indeed. The smaller
sizes are made particularly for their special
USE"
The prettiest of the new match boxes for
girls are of gold with an enameled decora-
ton. The enameling either takes the form
OF college or yacht club flag or it resembles
a hand-painted miniature showing a girl
on wheel or the head Of dog. Many of
these match-boXes are made with con-
cealed recess for photograph. 1t is only
when certain spring is touched that the
picture can be seen, so skillfully it is hid
den away.
The silver match-boxes, decorated with
the outline of tiny bicycle in enamel, are
also new and much less expensive.

Senator Perkins, OF California, is in
years ago he was elected governor Of
California, and a very popular sort OF
governor he proved 10 be. so popular. in
fact, that a craze for naming boy babies
after him soon ran through the state.
Bouncing boy babies wer named after
him in nearly every county. from Slski-
you in the far north to San Diego down
on the Mexican boundary. Governor
Perkins heard Of every one OF these in
cidents. The fond parents imagined the
rich young governor was generously Civ
milton of all these compliments But in
stead Of settling on the spot, Mr. Perkins,
with a politicians fatal weakness for
pr9crastination, wrote nice letters to
every pair of proud parents, and ended
with a flourish OF promises, as follows:
when George Perkins Smith is grown,
let me know, and will send him to
college" The governor thought he was
getting out Of the scrape very easily.
He never imagined he was going to be
senator from California, with ambitions
for reelection, fifteen or sixteen years
later. But here he is, and those letters
are coming home to roost. Already four
young men named George Perkins Smith,
Jones or something or other, have put in

AMERICANS IN THE TRANsVAAL.
REPUBLIC.

Charles Dickens tells the story OF an
old lady. who was informed that terri
Bile wreck had occurred and that a num-
Der OF sailors were drowned. The old
lady complaeently remarked that such
disasters were the result OF peoples fool
ishness in "meandering about the world.
instead OF staying at home. The old
lady was stirring her sugar in her tea.
as she gave utteranee TO this pleee OF
wisdom. and when it was pointed out to
her that but fer sailors ''meandering
about' she would have no tea or sugar
either. the dame simply repeated. Let
Us have no meandering."
The dear old lady OF the story is not
dead yet She seems to have taken
charge OF an American newspaper OF late.
which. noting that John Hays Ham
mond. an American mining engineer, had
been arrested in the Transvaal for COM
pliclty in the recent outbreak. intimated
that Il served him right. and that the
ulliiAtAS AuNclcStS VI AAc ShtVN SNoNNS
stood as much in need OF his engineering
skill as those OF the TransvaAl.
But the arrest OF Mr.. Hammond. who
exercised his right as freeman. in me
andering around just where he pleased.
opens up a more serious question than
the right of an American citizen to go
where he pleases Mr. Hammond took
an active part in the American organiza-
tlon for reforms in the method OF govern
ment in the Roer republic, and seems
likely to suffer for it.
There can be no denial that "repub-
licr' which leaves 80 per cent. Of its popu-
lation out side OF the franchise, Is in
very little degree removed from most
oppressive oligarchy. and II ought not to
surprise American citizens who believe
in popular rights, that Mr.. Hammond. in
company with many thousands OF Uit-
landers, demanded that change should
take place, and intimated that they were
ready to fight in order to bring about
such a result II fighting were necessary.
II would be a humiliating experience If
il were found that $500 Americans in a
community were the only men who were
opposed to reform in such a case. Mr..
Hamomnd seems to have cast in his lot
with the Uitlanders. and to have taken a
prominent part in the movement. Now
that he is on bail for the crime of trea-
son to the Transvaal republic, which in
this case was loyalty to American prin-
ciples OF freedom. but with a most dis
tinct pledge of allegiance to the Boer
republic, some Of his countrymen here
are found mean enough to stigmatize his
action as deserving of no sympathy.
1t is remarkable that these utterances
come from some paper which have Of late
been crying loudly for trouble with Eng
land. The "colored gentleman in the
fuel storage" in this case lies in the fact
that the Americans were in line with the
English. and. incidentally. with every
other inhabitant Of the Rand except the
Boer.
international prejudice could no further
go than reputation of American prin-
ciples because some British were mixed
up in a movement which embodied their
action.
