Can Such Things Be.


That the Hon. Sydney E. Mudd
entertained the opinions expressed
by him in the Sun of January 10,
1901, would not be credited in
Southern Maryland had the inter-
view appeared in any other paper,
but the well-known carefulness and
accuracy of the San vouches for the
truthfulness of Its report. And,
moreover, though ten days have
elapsed Mr.. Mudd has not yet de-
MED that he was correctly reported.
Last fall, one Of the chief argu-
ments of the Republicans in this
county was the Acknowledgement OF
the negroes of North Carolina and
other Southern States and it un-
doubtedly solidihed the colored
vote here. And now comes Mr..
Mudd and virtually says the Re-
publicans endorse Acknowledgement
in States where there is danger Of
negro domination. We append the
SUMS interview with Mr.. Dudd
that you may read for yourselves
Representative Mudd, speaking
OF Acknowledgement, said it is a
mistake to say that if the educa-
tional rule Of reduction we're APP
piled to Massachusetts that State
would lose half its members in the
House. Massachusetts educa-
tional qualification law affects but
2 per cent. Of the males in Massa
chusetts, according to the highest
estimate-that Of Representative
Shattuc-but, according to Mr..
Crum packer, the greatest number
of those who are illiterate in Mas.
sachusetts are foreigners who could
not vote even il they could read
and write. Massachusetts, has
very large number of unnaturallzed
persons, and therefore the number
of persons DISTINGUISHED by the ed
vocational qualification is bat about
per cent. That number is so
small that the representation Of the
State would not be reduced by even
one; in fact. the only States which
have disfranchised sufficient num-
Der of citizens to lose a member are
South Carolina, North Carolina,
Mississippi and louisiana.
~ do not think there will be any
attempt to reduce Misrepresentation
of any State, at this time at least.
The sentiment on the Republican
side is to the effect that as long as
the DISTINGUISHING 10 confined to
States which stand in danger Of
negro domination there will be no
interference, as it is felt that those
States have right to protect them
selves against the excuses committed
by the uneducated when in power, as
in the case of the negro Legisla-
lures after the war. But should it
be done in States like Maryland,
for instance, where there is no such
fear, and where the sole reason for
such action would be for political
purposes, then Congress might feel
constrained to act. Sun, Janua-
ry 10, 1901.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
Regular CORRESPONDENCE


WASHINGTON, ID. c., Jan ii, 1901,
Shakespeare held up for the sus-
picion of all future ages the man
who protests too much and too of
ten. Just now Senator Hanna is
that man. He is once more pro-
testing that the Ship Subsidy bill
will put no money in his pocket,
and that stories of his being inter
ested in Steamship lines that will
profit by the measure, if it can be
jammed through, are wicked calum-
MES.
The Senate is still hammering
away at the Army Reorganization
bill, but it is probable that it will
be passed this week. By the aid
of few republicans, the democrats
succeeded in getting an amendment
adopted making volunteer officers
eligible to appointment to the grade
of Captain in the regular army, as
well as that of lieutenant.
Why The bosses of the House have
allowed the debate on the River
and Harbor bill, which everybody
expected to pass several days ago.
to drag on until this afternoon,
when it closed, isont Of tho lcp's-
lative puzzles OF the week. luas-

Death is sad at any and all times, but
particularly so when it takes from us
our dear beloved father, in whom all
our hopes we're cherished. He always
met his children with a smile on his
sweet face, which / am sure will never
be forgotten. He has gone TO meet his
two dear little children. who have gone
long before, in that bright and happy
home above, where troubles and SORROWS
are unknown. His remains were laid
to rest in st. Georges graveyard by the
side of his little children never to awake
until the resurrection morn. Pray for
us dear father, that we may meet you
with our dear little sister and brother
in Heaven, never again to be parted.
Dear father, as ] sat beside your bed and
looked at you, though your face was so
pale, it was hard for me TO realize death
was so near. yet / knew your spirit was
preparing to take Its flight
Past his suffering,
Past his pain,
Cease to weep.
For tears are vain.
Dearest father, thou hast left u.s.
Lonely do we feel to day,
For the one we love so dearly
Has forever passed away.
BY his DAUGHTER, SADIE.

FELL lN.-An Irishman took a
contract to dig a we'll. When he
had dug about twenty-five feet
down he came one morning and
found it had fallen in and that il
was filed nearly to the top.
Pat looked cautiously around
and saw that no person was near,
then took of his hat and coat and
hung them on Q windlAss, crawled
into some bushes and awaited
events.
In q short time the neighbors
discovered that the well had fallen
in, and. seeing Pats hat and ccat
on the MINDLESS, they supposed that
he was at the bottom of the excava-
ton.
Only o few hours of brisk digg.
ing cleared the loose earth from the
we'll. Just as the excavators had
reached the bottom and were wond
ering where the body was. Pat
came ont Of the bushes and good
naturally thanked the diggers for
relieving him Of a sorry job. Some
