OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
W ASHINGTON,

WAsHINGToN, D. c., October 1lh
Mr.. EDIToR:-PresidentR Roosevelt has
started out by establishing very cordial
relations with the democrats, especially
those from the South, who are most promi-
| nent in National legislation. The fact
that the President rather boasts of being
"half-Southern' by birth and that he has
heretofore expressed eminentiy just and
friendly sentiments toward the Southern
people has given him warm place in
popular esteem in that section. But from
these personal observations it is not to be
hastily conjectured that he will violently
reverse the Republican policy of regarding
the solid South as terra ingrd'd. He may
lend some official help to any promising
effort to break down democratic suprem-
acy in certain Southern States: for in
stance, the McLaurin movement in South
Carolina, or the anti negro disfranchisc-
ment democratic faction in Alabama
President Roosevelt is a stalwalt Republi-
can. He is not at all likely to repeat the
Greek gift policy of President Hayes in
dealing with Southern situations. Mug
wump democrats will find as little favor
with him as mugwump republicans.
Hence, the wiser Southerners are not
predicating too freely upon favors to come
from President Roosevelt. They say "he
will be as fair as patriotic republican
President dare be, and that is the sum
total of their expectation.
Unless there is very skiruI mana cement
Of the pro eCts Of anti anarchy legislation
in the coming Congress an unfortunate
wrangle will occur. Men Of all parties
are substantially agreed that measure to
prevent the importation Of anarchists and
punish the exploitation Of anarchstic doc
trines should be passed. But any attempt
that presagcs undue restriction upon the
ancient rights Of free speech and Il free
press will meet with strenuous opposition
from leaders of both parties Senator
Hoar has already sounded IA warning
against any such attempt and the demo
Gratis in Congress may be counted as a
practical unit against such legislation. 1t
is even strongly intimatcd that President
Roosevelt would promptly veto any bill
that should go too far in that direction.
Two months yet intervene before Con-
gress assemblies, but already President
Roosevelt has begun to Shut himself in
with his thinking cap on to prepare his
message to the national legislature. The
message which President Mckinley would
have written had been discounted by his
public utteranccs since his re clcctian so
far as its most salient features were pre-
dicable. President Rooscvclts message
will be another type Of document. The
whole nation expects ii to be rcdo.cnt of
Rooscvctism ami will he on thc qri vive

ippine policy the President will have un-
restricted right of way for new suggestions

A clash between the civil and mill.
tary authorities in the Philippines has
occurred and the President has decid.
ed not to interfere in the matter The
military, after such long and uninter.
rupted sway of power in those far away
islands, says the Alexandria Gazette
are 10th to acknowledge that in time
of peace the.military is subordinate to
civil authority. Perhaps, too, there
are many army and navy officers who
believe that war still exists in the
Philippines, which belief is also shared
by numbers Of people on this side Of
the world, but as the home govern.
ment says the war is over it must be
so regarded at least, so that General
Chatfee may have for the present to
bow to Gov. Taft. But the power OF
the military is on the increase in this
country and how long it will consent
to be dictated to instead of debating
is thought to be problcmatical by
many.

AN IMPORTANT ISSUE.

Tie date for the Democratic
mass meeting in this county has not
vet been announced, but active work
is going on in many of the districts.
The indications are that the result OF
the registration will tend to dis
courage the Republicans more than
even. They have realized long since
that the record of their party in the
matter Of the padding of the census
lists and the conviction in the United
States court of some of the parties
who put the desperate and outrageous
scheme into execution, will hamper
the party greatly this year. 1t is
for this reason that Honorable
Sydney +. Mudd is kept in the
background at this time and his
aspiration to be United States Senator
apparently ignored. But those who
are familiar with the real conditions
know better. His friends, without ca
ception have been nominated in this
section of the State His friends are
in control Of the party machinery in
this and in the other counties of South
ern Mary land, and, if by any chance
the Republicans should have major
ity in the next Legislature, they will
be in position, probably,to win the
prize. Let Democrats remember this.
Let all who have had enough of Mr..
Mudd and his methods remember this.
We do not believe that majority of
the people of this county want Mr..
Mudd elected United States Senator
either next winter or two years hence.
For this reason it is important that
Prince Georges should not only have
five votes to record against him next
winter, but also one assured to vote
against linn two years hence, for the
Senator elected from this county this
year will also vote for the successor to
Senator McComas in 1904. Without
going into particulars, we can say gen.
orally that the taxpayers of this
county have just cause to protest
against the undue manipulation of
Republican politics here bv outside
bosses. The evils of the system are
becoming marked in many ways. Our
local government will be better wien
it Is the government Of the people,
whether Democrats or Republicans,
and not the selfish rule Of a little
clique, holding conferences at the Ma
tional Capital.

THE MARKET FOR BREAD
STCEFS.

When the President and Congress take
up reciprocity treaties next winter it is to
be hoped that an earnest effort will be
made to extend the market for the surplus
production of our wheat. This is of vast
Importance to the farming and milling in
tercsts and concerns the welfare of great
many more people than the extension of
our foreign trade in manufactured pro-
ducts. The best way to make good
market for manufactured goods is to pro-
mote the prosperity of the American
farmer If the farmer has money to spend
he will keep the factories going. A most
inviting field for the cultivation of mar
kcts for our flour is the Spanish American
countries. The people of these countries
are great read-eaters, or they would be
if they could get the bread. But the tariff
imposed upon flour going into Porto Rico
and Cuba by Spain before the Spanish
War was almost prohibitory and deprived
the poorer classes of the people of their
favorte food, and the most wholesome
Now that the tariff barrier between the
United States and Porto Rico has been
removed and the Cuban tariff has been
greatly diminished, it rests with our mer-
chants to promote trade. But in some of
the South American countries the tariff is
very high, and our sales of flour are re-
stricted in consequence. This is especial
ly the case in Venezuela and Columbia, and
if the reciprocity policy is to be pursued,
treaties might be profitably negotiated with
those two countries in the interest of our
farmers and millers In both of them the
tariff on flour is equivalent to about s.
barrel, a rate which, while intended to be
revenue tariff, is in effect prohihitory for
the great mass of the people.-Bal'iao'e

THE TOBACCO INDUSTRY IN
SOUTH CAROLINA.

A dispatch from Columbia, s. C, to the
Baltimore Sun" says:
"Those residing outside Of this State
have no conception of the growth of the
tobacco industry in the Eastern South
Carolina. Five years ago the experiment
was in nearly every county in the State,
but experience has proved that the weed
can more successfully be grown on the
rich sandy lands with clay subsoil near
the Great Pee Dee river. This includes
the counties of Florence, Darlin gton,
Marion, Marlboro, Horny, Clarendon and
Williamsburg. Large warehouses and
stemmeries have been built for the hand
ling of the crop, and the business is con-
Quoted as well here as in Danville, Va.
THE crop for the past year was re-
ported to be 10000, 900 pounds, which was
sold at an average of 10 cents, yielding
the producers 100000. The crop is
put on the market as early as the first
week in July, and the sales continue until
the following April.
cotton crop in that section and is looked
on in this State as an extra money crop
just like the peach crop Is regarded in
Georgia.
Tobacco is an expensive and uncer-
tain crop and requires the most careful
cultivation and attention. Those who
succeed best are the small white farmers
who, with the assistance of their wives
and children, do all the work. Few can
be found who will admit that the crop
pays if all the labor is hired and paid for
cut of the proceeds. The American
Tobacco Company has a buyer in every
market and practically fixes the prices
from day to day. The South Carolina
product is used principally in the man
ufacture of cigarettes and smoking to-
bacco, large proportion Of which is
shipped to England and Europe

AN ENGLISH VIEW.

President Roosevelt's appointment of a
Democrat to a Federal judgeship in Ala.
bama, says the Baltimore Sun has at
tracted attention not only in the United
States but in England as well. The Lon
don "Times" applauds Mr.. Roosevelt S
courage in making the appointment
which, it says, will ENSURE him the re.
spect of the best sections of Americans.
Our London contemporary is evidently in
doubt, however, as to the eXpediency Of
the appointment from political point OF
view, and warns the President that che
will have to walk warily if he is not to
create breach in the Republican party
and jeopardize its prospects at the next
Presidential election" The Times" is
not sufficiently familiar with political con.
ditions in the United States to know that
in appointing Democrat to a judgeshir
in Alabama President Roosevelt had to
make virtue of necessity. Apparently
there was no Alabama Republican fitted
for the position. and in order to give tho
appointment to Southern man the Presi
dent was compelled to go outside the
ranks of his own party. This does not
detract, however, from the credit which is
justly the PRESIDENT due. In making the
appointment his choice was not limited to
Alabamians or Southerners There are
doubtless plenty of Northern Republicans
who would have been glad to obtain So
desirable a position. Ex-Governor Jones
predecessor on the Federal Bench in Ala
bama was Northern man and served in
the United States Army throughout the
Civil War. Thirty years ago no Republi,
can President would have dreamed of APP
pointing an ex Confederate soldier to the
Federal Bench. All the plums of patron
age which were distributed then were be-
slowed upon patriots who came from north
of Mason and Dixon's Line. That Presi-
dent Roosevelt will elevate many Demo
Gratis to positions of Importance is highly
improbable, and our London contempor-
airy need have no apprehensions on that
score. Mr.. Roosevelt is by no means an
unsophisticated politician, as some people
seem to have imagined. The Democrats
whom he provides with offices in Republi-
can States will probably be as scarce as
the proverbial hens teeth

INCREASE FIMMIGRATION

The report of Thomas Fitchil, Com
missioner Of immigration at New York,
shows that the number of aliens arrived
at the port of New York during the fiscal
year ended June 30, 1901, was 49,, 1876.
There were also 1884 5G citizens of the
United States who arrived from abroad.
From a comparison of the Storage i'm
migration for the last two years it is
shown that nearly $4,000 of the increase
of last year over the year before was in
the immigration from Southern Italy
alone. but while this race shows the
largest numerical increase, others present
even greater relative gains. The Ruthe-
Hian Immigration has nearly doubled ;
Greek, show an increase of about so per
cent, and the Croatin and Dalmatian
about so per cent.
No other people, not even the North
ern Slavs, show gains of sufficient magni
tude to be considered of any significance.
From the high relative proportion of the
female to the male immigrants in the case
of any given people it is safe to assume
that the prevalent intention of those
people is to remain permanently in this
country.
The number Of returning alien residents
stands at 1916 per cent of the total immi-
grafton. In the amount of money brought
per capita there appears to be an appre-
ciable increase over last year. but the re-
port says: THE conclusion, unfortuna-
tely, is unavoidable that our immigration
is constantly increasing in illteracy. Not
only are we drawing more and more from
the countries where illiteracy is high, but
also the immigrants themselves are show
ing higher percentages of illiteracy. Near
ly one-half of our Storage immigration
now presents an illiteracy of from 40 to
over so ner cent"
