WASHINGTON LETTER.
From Our Regular Correspondent.

From Our Regular Correspondent.
WASHINGTON, D. c.. June 25, 1897.
The senate committee on for
elgn relations devoted the entire
time of its meeting this week to
the treaty for the annexation of
Hawaii and the protest against
the treaty that has been made
with Japan. The treaty was re-
ferred to subcommittee consist
ing of Senators Davis, Foraker
and Morgan, all favorable to
annexation, with instructions to
investigate and report to the full
committee. AS the sub-commit-
tee will go into the subject thor
oaghly there is no probability
of a report being made before
December, unless some exigency
should demand an earlier one.
japanese business men now in
Washington do not hesitate to say
that their government is much
more anxious to increase japanese
trade with the United States than
to quarrel with us about the an
nexation Of Hawaii, which makes
it appear that the Japanese pro-
test has been filed more with the
hope of obtaining trade conces-
sions of some sort from us than
with any idea of retarding or
preyantihg annexation.

HISTORY REPEATS.
Present Business Conditions Like
Those of Twenty Years Aqo.


Twenty years ago, in 1877, the
country was enshrouded in the
gloom of a business depression,
consequent upon the panic of 1878.
There were plenty of prophets
who predicted that the tiiies
would never get any better, ahd
the mass of the people were dis
couraged and about ready to con-
cede that the prophets of evil
we're right.
But in the fall of 1877 signs of
improvement began to appear.
The general theory was that
.1ore hopeful feeling was induced
by the approach of the date for
the resumption act to go into
effect. There was no doubt there
was something in this theory;
nevertheless plenty of states
men" were found who asserted
that resumption would be a fail
ure, and that business would be
injured rather than helped by the
attempt to resume.
But in spite of all the talk, the
times continued to improve stead
lily. They were much better in
1873, and in 1879 the rising tide
assumed the proportions Of some
thing like a boom. Some Of our
Minneapolis people who carried
real estate through the period of
depression and nearly broke their
backs doing so will remember
that by 1880 it was salable at an
advanced and advancing figures.
In the next few years the price of
realty here and elsewhere in the
country reached the highest prices
ever known before or since.
The history of this country APP
pears to show that panics and
recoveries run in about twenty
year periods. There was the
panic of 1873, followed by five
years of depression; the beginning
of recovery in 1887; the full tide
of recovery in 1879, followed by a
period of prosperity lasting until
1892. Then came the panic of
1898, followed by the period of
| depression which we are row ex-
perieucing To some there are as
yet no signs of Improvement dis
cernable, while to others there is
already a faint glimmer of dawn.
Many are looking forward to the
passage of the tariff bill as the
starting point of a new period of
prosperity. But whether from
that or some other cause or
causes, it is quite probable that
history will repeat itself, and
that in the fall of the present
year, or the beginning, of 1898,
we shall witness a notable i'm
provement, followed by perhaps
ten or dozen years of great
prosperity.
The cycle is nearly completed.
We have experienced nearly FIVE
years of depression since the
election of Cleveland in 1892. It
is about time for change in the
natural order of things.---Minne-

New Plan of Currency Reform.

II Washington advices be true, the
prNident has abandoned his earlier
plan of asking congress at this session
to name a commission to report meas
ures for currency reform, and will in
stead offer at the regular session a bill
embodying the ADMINISTRATORS ideas
on currency revision. 1t is reported
that Secretary Gage is already in COM
municatior with the principal authori-
ties on banking and finance, for the
purpose of securing suggestions to
aid him in the drafting OF this bill.
Once drawn, the bill will be submitted
In advance to leading Republicans Of
the house and senate, so that details
may be harmonized and practically
united party support secured for the
measure on its passage through con-
gress.
While as yet only the broadest prin-
cipls of the bill have received the pres
ident's consideration, we are assured
by Walter Whitman, who ought on
such a subject to be good authority,
that there will be ample provision
for a safe and elastic credit currency
on some plan similar to that employed
in Canada, or TO that recommended
i'm what is known as the Baltimore
plan. The gold reserve will be pro-
tected as other nations protect their
bullion reserves, by destroying the end
less chain. The vexing problem OF
what TO do with the greenbacks win
be met fairly and squarely. 1t is not
proposed to retire them sun marily or
to strike them down. 1t Is proposed to
limit their power for harm and grad
ually to convert them into other forms
Of paper money which will not possess
the power of draining the gold reserve
whenever exporters or foreign bank
ers wish to do so. All that is done
In this line will be done gradually and
In such a way that the country would
not be able to discover that any

rabies" says he, "that was known be-
fore the time OF Pastcurs so-called
prophylactic treatment" The other
boy died March IA, 1857, six or eight
weeks after a dog bite, and Dr. Dulles
correspondent in Duryea writes him
that a dog and three other children
bitten at the same time are still alive
and well. "The boy that died." says
the doctor, 'lived within FIVE hundred
yards Of the boy that died in 1896, and
he had been so talked to about hydro
phobia and was so nervous that he was
I'm constant dread of the disorder and
was afraid to go abroad" In other
words, he was scared to death.
The paper gives several other in
stances quite as striking, the lesson in
each one being that the bite In itself
is not nearly 80 dangerous as is the
fuss afterward made about IL. "In
considering the effect of DOG bites 1t is
curious" as DR.. Dulles points out at
the conclusion Of his highly interesting
paper, /" to note that they should
cause so many deaths in what we may
call the private walks of life, and
practically none among men who are
constantly handling large numbers Of
dogs. My notes furnish me with but
a single case of death from hydro
phobia occurring in the person of a
keeper or attendant in q public pound
in any large city in the world, from
Paris to Philadelphia, and from Mos
cow to San Francisco. The same Is
true in regard to persons who habit
ually take stray dogs upon the street,
such as dog catchers, policemen (as
in London), and the attendants of such
an institution as the London Home for
Lost and Straying Dogs, where over
two hundred thousand dogs have been
handled without a case of hydrophobia.
! have consulted a number of Keepers
of so-called Kennels and I have never
learned of a death among any of them,
although / have found innumerable
bites. many of them by dogs believed
by their owners to be rabid."
Evidently the bite is not so dan
gerous as the scare, and those who
don't scare don't suffer.

POSTMASTER RIPPLE.
From the Scranton Ncws.

From the Scranton Ncws.
The News felicitates Colonel z. II. Rip
pie upon his appointment to the post
mastership OF Scranton. That he will per-
form the duties OF the trust reposed in
him, acceptably to all classes, efficiently
and with signal business ability, honestly
and In the most straightforward man
ner, is proposition that may be taken
for granted He was born in Mauch
Chunk on Feb. IA, 1s42, and when he was
10 years old, his parents moved to Hyde
Park. After a thorough fundamental
training in the public schools. he took the
course at Wyoming seminary and after
ward was graduated from Eastman's
commercial college, Poughkeepsie. N. Y.
When the war broke out he enlisted as a
volunteer. His record from 1862 until 1866
during which time he was practically only
a boy, was one of heroic patriotism. He
also passed through a fun siege of incar-
ceration in the filthy and abominable
war prisons of Andersonville and Flor
ence, where the tortures inflicted upon
prisoners-of-war were equal almost to the
crucial ordeals of the early Christian mar
tyrs.
Colonel Ripp,e's first business pursuit In
Scranton was in the crockery and glass
ware trade on Lackawanna avenue. Next
he became associated with Congressman
Connell, who was then a hardworking, en-
ergeuc man, but not very rich one
Both have been shoulder to shoulder
since in business and other enterprises,
including politics. The new postmaster
is an active Republican and his party has
rewarded him with the most honorable
preferment in its bestowal. Years ago he
was elected county treasurer, later lie
served in the common council and on the
board of control, and eventually was
elected mayor by a large majority. All
these positions of public trust were filled
in the most thorough and comprehensive
manner. While mayor he brought about
reform that will stand as a monument
to his credit. He inaugurated a policy
that rescued the city warrants from the
hands of scalpers and usurers, and read
justed the payment Of the city's obliga-
tions so that when a dollar was due it
was paid.
He was colonel of the Thirteenth regi-
ment for many years and fulfilled the
position so that it was with considerable
regret his resignation was accepted by
his superior officers. He brought the reg
iment to the standard of the highest In
the state Every man who ever served
under him admired him for his manly
qualities as soldier and citizen. A trait
in his character that is about as equally
pronounced as his honesty and unrlght-
ness is his unaffected charitableness. Ap-
peals from the poor and distressed never
found him with a deaf ear. and his char
ity is not of the Pharasiacal order. His
appointment is deserved and the people
of Scranton can rest assured of the best
postal service the law allows for the next
four years.
