OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
WASHINGTON, d. c., May 21st.

WASHINGTON. D. c., May 21st.
Mr. EDIToR:-Unlcss Mr.. Mckinley
stopped his ears he heald d the enthusiastic
cheers given to the Boer ENJOYS and the
voices of the Senators and Representatives
who spoke in behalf of the two republics
now engaged in death grapple with the
worlds mightiest empire to an audience
which the largest theatre in Washin gton
would not hold. The speakers at that re-
ception pointed out the fact that from all
over this country there was a demand that
this government should save the lives of
those little republics, which all the world
knows could he done by word from Mr.
Mckinley to the British government, and
yet that word remains unspoken. Instead,
the mouthpieccs of the administration are
saying, "hush. we know that En- ngland in
tends to wipe out those republics but it is
none of our business; we have promised
to remain neutral and we must not say Il
word" A President who is afraid of
England is a novelty in this country, and
a decidedly unpleasant one too. But the
remedy lies IN the hands of the PEOPLE
Next Novcmbar they can elect a President
whose first act will be a dissolution of the
partnership between the greatest republic
and the worst grabbing empire on
The Prince George's enquirer and southern Maryland advertiser., 1900-05-25
CONGRESS IN DOUBT.

1t is we'll recognized by thoughtful Re
publican papers that even if Mckinley is
to be elected he may be confronted by 4
Democratic House. On this subject the
Philadelphia Lcdger says:
while the indications continue to
favor the re election of President Mckin-
ley, the political complexion Of the next
House of Representatives is problemati-
cal In the present House the Republi
cans are in a majority of 26 over the COM
bined opposition. OF the total member
ship 43 were elected by pluralities Of
1000 or less, of whom a are Republicans
Is Democrats and t Populists. These
Republicans were elected as follows:
Indiana, 4; Illinois, ,; California, Iowa,
Maryland and West Virginia, . each;
Alabama, Kentucky Massachusetts, Mime
sofa, New Jersey, New York, North
Carolina Ohio and Virginia, l each. The
Democratic list is as follows: New York,
4 Kentucky, Ohio and Pennsylvania, ,
each; Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts,
North Carolina and Virginia, 1 each. Of
the Popuists are from Nebraska and
from Kansas and North Carolina. 1t will
be noted that for the Republicans the
greatest number of close districts is in
Indiana, and for the Democrats in New
York.
SHOULD Mckinley be reelected bv a
large majority it is probable that the Re-
pubcans will retain control of the House
of Representatives but should the cleo
tion for President be close it is not unlike
ly that the Republicans may lose the
the House The Ledger adds:
1T is the dnty of The Republican man
ayers pot to take fer granted either the
success of Mckinley or the retention of
control of the House If the approach
ing contest could be conducted solely on
the money question the free silver allies
would confront a hopeless prospect, but
no party can pick particular issue

KENTUCKY UNDER DEMO.
CRATIC RULE.

The Supreme Court of the United States
decided Monday that it had no jurisdic-
tion in the contest for the Governorship
of Kentucky. The Legislature of Ken
lucky, under the provisions of the Con-
stitution of that State, is the arbter of
said Chief Justice Fuller, who delivered
the opinion of the court, no appeal from
the Legislatures decree except to the
tribunal of the people The case was
one which related exclusively to the State,
and "Kentucky is in full possession of its
faculties as member of the Union"
This decision by the highest court in the
the land effectually disposes of all of
"Govcrnor' Taylor's pretcntions. The
program of assassination in Kentucky
| has proved to be failure, so far as keep
| ing the Democrats out of office is con-
cerned. All that was accomplised by the
murder of Goebel was to transfer the Of
| flee of the Governor to another Democrat,
| who had been the candidate of his party
| for Lieutenant Governor. On the other
| hand the Republican party of Kentucky
| has been discredited by the crime of some
| one identified with that organization-a
| cold -blooded, premcditatcd crime, which
came near plunging the State into civil
| war "Governor' Taylor, in view of the
| Supreme Court decision, is now merely a
private citizen of Kentucky, whose pre-
| tentions to official station must be aban-
! doned. 1t is of little concern, except to
himself, whether he adopts Chief Justice
Fuller's suggestion and "apleals to the
| tribunal of the people" Such an appeal
| would scarcely result in his vindication,
for his conduct in the days Immediately
following the assassination of Goebel was
not that of Il we'll balanced man. He de-
serves no credit for the fact that there
was not bloodshed on large scale in
Kentucky after Goebe1 had been killed by
| an assassin concealed in the State House.
| The moderation and good sense of the
Democrats alone saved the State from
| revolution and anarchy.-BdltimJ IRE Sun

UNWAREANTED AND
REVOLUTlONA AIRY

These are the terms used in the reso-
luton adopted at meeting of the
Farmers Clubs and Oranges held in
HyattsviIlc on Wednesday, in relation
to the recent action ofthc County Com
missioneis. A disposition to disregard
law aid to trample upon the rights Of
individuals Or communities is danger
ous to say the least.
The road law is good one, ard If
properly administered will add to the
material prosperity Of the county, and,
therefore, it is that those, upon whom
the burdens of our excessive local tax
alton fall most heavily, seem to be
deeply aroused. These taxpayers met
first to condemn the spirit that
prompted the ignoring of the law, and,
secondly, to bring about tie enforce
ment of its useful provisions
In speaking of the meeting the Bal
tlmore SIMS correspondent says:
Representative OF the Vansville
Farmers Club, the Patuxent Planters
Club and Eureka and Beltsvile
oranges, all Of Prince Georges county,
held joint meeting in Hyattsville to-
dly to protest against the recent action
OF the County Commissioners in ignor-
ing the new road law for Prince
Georges county. Master Of the State
grange, j. p. Agcr, of Chillum, pre-
sided. Franklin Weems, Of the Patux-
ent Planters Club was tie secretary.
The following resolution was adopted:
That the action of the County Com
missioners in ignoring the new Road
law passed by the last General Assem-
bly, be, and the same is, denounced as
unwarranted and revolutionary and
not be tolerated TO this end legal
proceedings shall be instituted and
Joseph B. Ager, James d. Cassard

they are members pledge themselves
to protect and indemnify the members
OF the committee in any costs incurred" "
