Washington Letter.

There is a peculiar portrait in Washing
ton which has created much interest among
those who know of its existence Its
popularity is that every year Ii has been
changed TO show the changes which time
would have made in the original. The por-
trait is by a Washington artist, and is that
OF his wife, and was painted many years
ago, when she was young bride. A few
years after the portrait was painted the
young wife died. and so great was the grief
of the artist that he determined to keep
her likeness with him all the time. and 10
do so he decided that year by year he would
change the portrait so TO make ii grow
old with him and thus keep her, as il were,
ever with him. Every year, on the an
niversary OF his wedding day the artist
locked himself in his studio and changed
the lines of the face of the portrait adding
what he thought would make the difference
OF one year. There have been many an
niversaries OF that marriage day, and con-
sequently many changes In the portrait.
To-day the picture is that OF an old woman.
the hair turned gray. the face wrinkled and
pale, but still beneath the marks of time.
as made by the brush of the artist can be
seen the early beauty of the bride and the
attractiveness of the young woman.

THE LAST OF SPAlN'S AMERICAN
EMPIRE.

When the Spanish flag came
down from Havana's MORO Castle
on New Years Day, 1899, one
chapter of history was closed. The
Spanish empire in American be-
came an episode that was passed.
In the space of four hundred and
six years, two months and ten days
from the morning when Columbus
landed on San Salvador until Cas-
tellanos turned over his authority
to General Brooke in the Palace Of
Havana, the rule of Spain has been
a huge fact in the life Of America.
After the treaty of Paris, in 1888,
by which England surrendered
East Florida to the Spaniards, to
whom France had ceded Louisiana
twenty years before, the Spanish
dominions entirely surrounded the
Gulf of Mexico, and stretched in
one unbroken mass from Cape Horn
to the Hudson's Bay country. 1t
was then that the Spanish episode
in the New World reached its eli
max. Eighteen years later the re-
procession of Louisiana marked the
beginning of the decline of Spain's
American empire. After that one
province after another fell away
until now not Spanish flag is to
be found flying anywhere in the
vast region through which, a hun
dred years ago, the traveller might
have journeyed for eight thousand
miles without finding anything else.

The evidence that the war depart
ment supplied bad food to our sol
diers in the field is now supplement
ted with testimony that it has been
selling goods at a sacrifice to mer-
chants in the south. In an interview
in the Baltimore Sun of the 3rd,
Presinent Donaldson, of the we'll
known Numsen Manufacturing COM
pany of Baltimore, published lot
of information picked up in the
course of a recent business trip in the
south, regarding the working of the
commissary department last sum-
mer. Some of the most prominent
jobbers in Savannah told him Of
having bought from the army hun
dreds of barrels Of vinegar at 4 cents
a gallon when it was selling at 16,
and thousands of pounds of first rate
bacon at 3 cents pound when it was
worth not less than 6. In Jackson
vile leading jobber told him that
he had bouhgt 10000 pounds of
bacon at one-half cent pound,
160 barrels of vinegar at cents a
gallon, and othergoods ut ridiculous
prices. Numerous other merchants
and jobbers in the camping district
told Mr.. Donaldson similar stories.
Hay, oats and other feed were sold
in the same way. It appears that
stores were shipped in enormous
quantities to the camps without re-
gard to the soldiers needs, the sur
plus being then sold off in this man
ner. At one point it was estimated
that enough vinegar was shipped to
the camp toprovide each soldier with
Is gallons. These discoveries of Mr..
Donaldson still further strengthen
the conviction, which has been
gaining ground all the fall that the
war department was incapable if
not corrupt.

these and other reasons it is urged
That continuation of the paper and

DRAWING THE LINE FOR 1900.

: Politics IN the United States ar,
assuming shape in the democrati,
party for the presidential canpaig,
of 1900. The Indications now ar,
that the party will be split both by
the money question and the ores-
ton of colonial expansion. At the
Jackson day banquet on the 9th in
Cincinnati. VIM J Bryan struck
the keynote for the wing of the
party which he represents. He
emphasized the doctrine of free and
unlimited coinage at the ratio Of
10 to !, as set forth in the Chicago
platform, and then took up the
colonial question. His speech upon
that issue was largely in answer to
this searching interrogatory:
"W neither we can govern colonies
as well as other countries can is not
material; the real question is
whether we can. in one hemi-
sphere, develop the theory that
governments derive their inst
power from the consent of the GOV
erned, and at the same time inaug-
urate, support and defend in the
other hemisphere government
which derives its authority entirely
from superior force. And. if these
two ideas Of government cannot
live together, which one shall we
choose?
Ills answer was sufficiently ex-
pllclt in the peroration, when he
said:
"We cannot afford TO destroy the
declaration of independence; we
cannot afford to erase from our
constitutions, state or national, the
bill of rights we have not time to
examine the Libraries of the nation
md purge them of the essays, the
speeches and the books that defend
jhe doctrine that law is the crvs-
'alllzation of public opinion, rather
han an emanation from physical i
oower. Buteve if we could DESTROY ;
very vestige of the laws which are I
he outgrowth of the immortal law
'enned by Jefferson; if we could i
'bllterate every written word that
has been inspired by the idea that |
his is "a government of the people,
" the people and for the people," t
We could not tear from the heart of t
fie human rHce the Unope wn1cn the
American republic has planted c
here. The impassioned appeal,
Give me liberty or give me DEATH" t
till echoes around the world.
n the future, as in the past, the L
esire to be free will be stronger
han the desire to enjoy mere t
'hysical existence. The conflict
'etween right and might will con- e
inue here and everywhere until a 7
lay is reached when the love of
money will no longer scar the a
ational conscience, and hypocrisy
10 longer hide the hideous features b
f avarice behind the mask of
hilanthropy." t
