* LETTER. y
Washington, D. ca
January 81, 1899. !

The peace treaty might have been
voted upon and settled a week ago.
That it is still undecided is the fault
Of its friends. Senator Davis is
begging for more time. The Ad-
'ninistration is having personal in
terviews with all the senators.
The only definite thing about the
treaty is that a vote will be taken
on it Monday, Feb. 6. 1t is some
thing to know that, but if the vote
is not sufficient to ratify that will
not settle it. The republicans are
SO scared over its prospects that
they openly admit they cxpct ear
extra session of the new con gress,
to be called March 5, to ratify the
precious document and thus allow
us to spend our $50, 900, 900 Tor the
Philippines.
The Nicaragua canal bill got out
Of the way sooner than was expect
ed. The democrats very sensibly
concluded that they would not take
the responsibility of obstructing
action on the treaty by military
action or political tactics: though
they could hardly have been blamed
if they did this.
What a scurrying there has been
between the white house and capitol!
The president first summoned the
friends of the treaty and tried to
cheer them up, but they gave him
an awful scare aboutaits prospects.
Then he sent for Mason and Hale
and Hoar. He got cold comfort
from them.
If the resolution is adopted, stat
ing that ratifying the treaty does
not commit the country to q policy
Of colonial expansion it can probably
be ratified any way. All the expan-
sionists from the president down,
talk loudly about ratification not
committing US TO my policy, but
when it comes to going On record
that way then they try to get out
of it. The prospects Of an extra
session are good.
Perhaps all their assurances ri

from Ponce, at Banos Da Quin-
tana, which n~ecessltated its trans
portatjon six miles from the com
missary depot, which was at the
Playa.
One day Private Hack, Of Light
Battery G, Pennsylvania Volunteer
Artillery, was sent for an issue Of
beef which his captain had been
notified would be issued in the
morning on which he was sent.
On his return l met the wagon
and while i; was some hundred
and fifty yards from me l noticed
the most terrible odor, which
seemed to me to smell something
like carrion.
81 was mounted, and when
got alongside of the wagon look
ed into it and saw the meat which
had been issued to him for Light
Battery c, Pennsylvania Volunteer
Artillery. 1t looked white, about
the color of the belly of a founder
which had been covered with a
green slime"

Mr.. Pyle, our newly elected at
torney general, does not went
much. He asks for an assistant,
an extra clerk, 81, 900 in cash to
prosecute Phillips and $4,000 to
push the railroad rate cases.
Pyle proposes to be the "whole
cheese" and make the board OF
railway commissioners strictly an
ornamental body. Luckily "there
are others" who nave a voice in
saying whether this enthusiastic
attorney general shall have all
these things or not.

Mr.. Croker S Talk.

One Richard Croker of New
York, a Tammany chieftan, has
given the republicans a bit Of po-
sLIical capital to aid them in killing
tile ~''silver craze" aga;n-a job
winch requ;rs their attention often
er than any other n thing on
earth. This Croker, whose name
is SO appropriate, says:
1.-the 10 to l question is a dead
issue. This Was proven conclu-
sive.y by the expression of the will
Of the people IN 1896, when they
elected Mr.. Mckinley president of
the United States. Now the Dem.
ocrats of the West and other sec
tons Of the country are trying to
foist this dead issue upon the Dem
ocratic party and to make the old
dead cry Of 80 to / the Democra-
tic slogan in 1900"
The republican press OF the
country seems to have taken the
Tammany chieftan's comments as
the official obituary over the silver
corpse The thing is dead this
rtsime, sure.
But let us see. There was a
national convention held down at
Chicago during the balmy summer
days Of 1896. The New York del
Notwithstanding a number of
IS important personages as this
I croaker, Croker-was there. That
delegation advocated the identical
doctrine that Croker is advocating
Sfroday, and because that great con-
.vention did not bow to the min
.iority advocating that policy, the
New York delegation bolted and
left the hall. But the convention
did business at the old stand and
set in motion the movement which
Will press on until the gold standard
and its every advocate is crushed
under the heel Of public condem
nation. Croker and other gold
republicans who still claim to be
democrats, are small potatoes : as
much SO today rs they were in
1896. The silver movement bows
not to Croker, Dave Hill mol
Henry Watterson-they were all
boilers in 1896. They are boilers
and it matters little what
n;
srhey say or do. They are repub-
%licans in policy, if not in name,
and their comment on the silver
issue is Of no more consequence
than that emanating from the
rankest gold standard republican
transformer in the country.
