LAWMAKERS OF THE REPUBLIC.


Have Begun a Six-Months Session in the
Gave of the Winds.
/ WASHINGTON, Dec. with the be.
ginning of the Fifty-seventh Congress
at noon today the national legislative
body entered upon an era of action
which promises to be one of great i'm
portance to the country. Other Con
crosses of recent years have passed
upon questions of war and strife
This one will deal with issues, the
fruits of war, ON less important, and
evolving the everyday, material in
terests of the citizens of the United
States and the welfare of other people
whose destinies war has placed in
their hands.
1t is in part new Congress. A
goodly proportion of fresh blood was
infused in recent elections. Repre-
sentatives coming direct from the
people will be present to voice the
wishes of their constituents. At the
same time, there remain in both Sen
ate and House practically the same
number of old leaders, men of wide
experience in legislation, of thorough
familiarity with the needs of the
country, the policies of the dominant
party and parliamentary practice
1t would seem to be a commingling
of conservatism and enterprise.
The House has a membership OF
357, of which 1877 are Republicans,
151 are Democrats and 8 are fusionists
silverites or populists. With this di-
vision the Republicans would have
clear majority over all of thirty
seven in case the populists voted
with the Democrats on party ques-
tions. The Senate has 81 members,
there being at present three vacancies
The Republicans will have majority
in the Senate varying from 20 to "a
according to the way certain former
| populists and fusionists vote, and
taking into consideration the possibil.
ity or at least oness Democrat voting
with the administration on national
policies.
The new members of the House
number 90, of whom fifty are Repub
licans, 3S are Democrats and 4 are
fusionists, but who will probably
vote with the Democrats. Thus not
only is there a preponderance in
numbers of old members of the House
in the present badly, but it happens
that most of the influential and ex.
perienced men in both parties We're
reelected.

LETTER FROM THE PHILIPPINES.
James Jarboe, One of Uncle Sans Soldiers,
Writes of the Islands.

James Jarboe, One of Uncle Sans Soldiers,
Writes of the Islands.
TO the Editor of The Republican.
LIGAo ALBAY, P. l., Sept. 90, 1901
AS you allowed me space in your pa
per for my last letter, will intrude
on You again.
Flags are at half mast all over the
islands in respect TO President Nc
Kinley. Mrs. Mckinley has the sym
pathy of every American soldier in
the Philippines.
We have an ice plant within nine
miles of us and have ice water every
other.day. 1t is something that a
soldier appreciates after drinking
sterilized water.
One of your readers has asked me
to give a better description of the
islands, which / will try to do. The
Philippine islands are bunch of
trouble on the western horizon. They
are bounded on the west by hoodoo-
ism and smuggling, on the north by
rocks and destruction, on the east by
typhoons and monsoons, and on the
south by canibalism and earthquakes.
The climate is combination of cleo
trio charges especially adapted to
raising cain. The soil is extraordina-
rily fertile in producing large crops of
insurrection and trickery. The inhab-
itants are very industrious, the chief
occupation being the making of boloo
and knives and the unloading of
Remington rifles and cartridges.
Their amusements are cock-fighting,
monte, theft and cheating. Their
diet consists of boiled rice, stewed
rice, fried rice and rice. The Philip
pine marriage service is very impress
sive, especially the clause wherein
the wife can obtain the privilege of
working as much as her husband de-
sires. Manila, the largest city, is sit
uated on beautiful Manila bay, a
large land-locked body of water, full
of disease, sharks and submarine
boats of Spanish make. The princi-
pal exports of the islands are rice,
hemp and sick soldiers. The most
important imports are American SOL
diers, arms and ammunition, beer and
tobacco. Malaria is so prevalent that
on numerous occasions the islands
have been taken with chill. Com
munication has been established be-
tween the numerous islands by sub
shutting mosquitoes for carrier pig
cons; the mosquitoes being much
larger and better able for the jour
ney. The native costume consists of
a flour sack tied around the waist,
and anything under twelve has to
wait till next year for its clothing.
Well, as do not want to take up
too much of your valuable space |
will close for the present, with best
wishes for the success of THE REPUB-
LICAN and Garrett county, | remain,
respectfully, JAMES JARBOE.

The Account of the Bittinger Explosion
Published in the journal of Nov.
I4th Identical With That of This Paper
of Nov. eth, the Day After the Mishap.

We do not intend to be drawn into
a controversy with the Garrett Jour
nal, neither do we intend to allow to
go unchallenged the broad assertions
made in that paper of last week with
reference to an account of an explos-
ion which took place near the village
of Bittinger on Nov. 9th, and which
was published exclusively in THE
REPUBLICAN the day following
Thursday. This item of news was
taken bodily from the columns of
this paper and published as original
matter in the Journal the week fol-
lowing. The attention of the Journal
was directed to this piece of newspa-
per vandalism, and that paper utterly
unable to contine itself to the limits
of decency in any discussion, or to
contain itself within the bounds of
truth in words or deeds, it seeks filthy
and disgusting words and ideas to
express its meaning, and glories in
everything "slimy," replying to our
structures in language which BELTS
no one claiming the first principles of
being a gentleman or editing a news
paper (save the work. which is calcu-
lated to elevate mankind in any de-
gree whatever.
Whether or not the Journal pi-
rated the article referred to we leave
our readers and the public generally
to decide by publishing herewith in
parallel columns the articles as they
appeared in THE REPUBLICAN of
Nov. 18th and in the Journal of Nov.

Men, Dogs and Other Crittere.

If a man should stand out in the
street and talk in a loud voice all
night, the police would arrest him as
a disturber of the peace. Yet dog
is permitted to bark all night, and
the police do not seem to care There
is nothing so worthless as dog, and
no other animal has so little to do or
has an equally good time. A horse il
compelled to work, COW is butchered
but dog does nothing but loaf and
bark at night and disturb the tired
people who want to sleep If a dog
kills sheep people say: sob, it is a
dogs nature to kill sheep, the owner
should have kept them up" but if a
Woodworking man kills sheep there
is howl about it that can be heard
from one end of town to the other.
