OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
WASHINGTON, D. c., June 25th

ASHINGTON, ID. g., June 10Th.
Mr. EDIToR:-The Democratic Con
gressional Campaign Committee will make
a speciality of circulating literature show
ing up republican extravaganza in public
expenditures. Notable in this class of
literature is the speech OF Representative
Livingston, of Georgia, in which he said
And | call attention also to the constant
and gradual increase in the appropriations
for Pensions, and likewise to the legisla-
tive. executive and judicial appropriations
These items could not have been affected
to any great extent by the Spanish Ameri-
can war. It shows, indeed, an increase
all along the line, despite the fact that the
Committee Oh Public Buildings ard
Grounds have held back ali matters before
them, and the Committee on Rivers and
Harbors all matters before them, with two
or three exceptions, and all accounts and
claims have been practically barred from
consideration at this session. 1t should be
borne in mind that in the case of the ar-
preparations fer the navy the authoriza-
ton of the eight new warships-two bat
tlcships, three armOred cruisers and three
protected cruiscrs-involvcs an ultimate
expenditure for construction, armor and
armament Of something like G,00O, 900,
not one dollar Of which is now appropri-
ated. The dominant party attempted to
commit this Congress at this session. and
4 ,i.,1.
coming session TO 50 commit the govern
ment to what Is known as the ship subsidy
scheme, which involves the sum of $3.50,
000,00 to be expended throughout term
of years.
Senator Harris, of Kansas, said of the
political outlook just before leaving Wash
ington for his home: The people are not
to be deuded into the idea that the exist
ing prosperity is the product of the rcpub-
lican administration We are having
prosperity in the West, but it is due to
good seasons, hard work, rigid economy
and self denial Unfavorablc conditions
elsewhere even now. are advancing the
price of wheat, which will greatly benefit
the farmers of Kansas and the West, but
these unfavorablc conditions were not
brought around by republican administra-
ton. The people understand the reasons
for these things Further than this, the
people recognize that the late session of
Congress gave to the trusts of all kinds all
that they asked for. They also recognize
that Congress absolutely refused to do for
The Prince George's enquirer and southern Maryland advertiser. (Upper Marlborough, Md.) 1882-1925, 1900-06-29

the country those things which were de-
mandcd irrespective of party, such rs an
amended Interstate Commerce law, anti
trust legislation, Il reduction of the war
taxes, providing for the Nicaragua Canal
and other things Senator Harris says
the Bryan ticket will carry Kansas easily,
and if the right candidate for Vice Presi-
dent is nominated at Kansas City several
other middle-western States.
Republicans are condemning their own
management of Cuban affairs by widely
advertising the fact that since the expos
ure of the wholesale stealing of Cuban
funds by republican officials there have
been reductions in the salary list in Hl-
vana alone which will result in a saving
of $1,200,000 a year. Such an open
acknowledgement of extravaganza and in
competency has seldom if ever been made
by an American administration.
Speaking of Cuban matters, the republic
cans on the Senate Committee charged
with investigating receipts and expendi-
lures in Cuba seem to have accomplished
their purpose of postponing the investlga-
ton until too late for its finding to have
any effect on the Presidential campaign
by the agreement not to start the investi-
CATION until furnished with statements
from the War, Treasury and Post Office
Departments, showing the receipts and
expenditures in Cuba under each. Of
course, those departments claim to be
having those statements prepared as fast
as possible, but nobody seems to know or
to care to say when they will be ready.
Senator P)att, of Connecticut, chairman
of the Committee, when asked when the
Committee would begin the investigation
said it could not begin until furnished
with those statements which are to he
made the basis of the investigation. That
leaves the administration free to hasten
or postpone the beginning Of the inFcSti-
CATION by hurrying or delaying the prepa-
ration of those statements.
This government seems to be getting
| tan gled up in that big Chinese puzzle.
Secretary Hay says we are not at war with
China, and all the diplomatic representa-
tives of the European nations say the
same for their governments, and the
Chinese minister says his government has
not sanctioned any ill treatment of for
eigners or any of the fighting that has
| taken place; that the whole trouble is due
| to rioting, such as occasionally occurs in
every country. The Chinese Minister has
also assured Secretary Hay that he had re-
ceived official information that all the
foreign ministers in Pekin, which has
| been cut off from the coast cities for more
| than a week, were safe and well. Not
| outstanding all this the administration
and the European governments are pro-
ceeding as though we were at war with
| China, and troops are being hurriedly for
warded to form an allied army for the in
vasion Of China, and the allied troops now
on the ground are fighting, the Chinese.
| If all that isn't the worst sort Of 4 Chinese
| puzzle, pray, what is it:
