THE WASHINGTON LETTER.

The speech Of Secretary James Will
son deliverd at Dysart, Iowa, on Sat
urday is Of special significance from
the fact that before leaving for Iowa
the secretary had two long confer
ences with the president and received
from him special suggestions about
handling the subjects Of protection
and reciprocity. His utterances may,
therefore, be regarded as coming di-
rectly from the White House. Speak
ing of reciprocity Secretary Wilson
said: at was never entertained as
an expedient by which trade could be
extended to the advantage of some
Of our industries at the expense Of
others. 1t would have had scant
welcome in any republican conven-
tiOn had it been proclaimed as q
measure By which new industries
that gave promise of supplying the
home demand should be sacrificed to
the interests Of strong industries that
had long enjoyed the partiality of
the American people," Speaking Of
imports he said: "When, within a
few years, we keep at home half of
the s42O, 100000 now paid for agri-
cultural products our home markets
will have been strengthened more
than all the extension that can be
secured outside of our jurisdiction
The growth of our country in so many
directions iustifies the conclusion that
we are developing towards a condi-
tiOn of completeness as a worlds
national unit. Half of our purchases
from foreign countries can be pro-
duced within the states of the Union
and, since our expansion into 50
much territory south Of the twentieth
parallel of north latitude it will be
entirely practicable within the lives
of children now at school to produce
the other half i'm those islands under
our own flag" From these utter
anCes it seems safe to conclude that
the president does not anticipate any
important reciprocity legislation in
the near future.

The illustrated lecture in the
court house last Friday evening by
Rev. j. Van Buren, of Porto Rico
was we'll attended and was of much
interest as giving a very excellent
idea of the island, its homes, its
people, their customs, products,

DR.. Louis de Plasse, who spends
considerable time in this section and
who has recently built summer
cottage near here, expresses a long

be welcome addition to our com
munity.
We have new Official digests of
game laws both of this state and
New Jersey and anyone desiring
may inspect them by calling.
Everyone should be fully informed
of the laws and then if all will obey
them game will soon be more plen-
tiful than now and there will be lao
trouble.
It is reported that gunners 60
from this and New York state over
in New Jersey and carry back the
game they kill The law against
taking game out of that state is
stringent and so long as these
sportsmen are not caught they may
feel happy, but suppose they are
how about the $40 penalty?
The Ladies' Aid society of the
Presbyterian church resumed the
socials which were so popular last
winter by holding the first one for
this season last Tuesday evening.
The attendance was good and no
doubt they will be we'll sustained as
is proper. These gatherings are
beneficial in bringing tho congrega-
tion together for pleasant social in
tercourse and they also add to the
revenues.

lows:

or to attempts to remove from this

rel, English pheasant or ring-neck-
ed pheasant; provided, however,
that this section shall not apply to

There have been a number of deeds
of similar character and for a sim
liar purpose placed on record within
the past month, proving how easy
it is to evade the intent of the law
relating to non-residents not own
ers of lands. No doubt these con-
veyances protect their holders in
hunting in this state but the legis-
lature probably never thought of
this manner of eircumventing the
act.

Democratic predictions of a split
between Senator Platt and the presi-
dent have, as was to be expected,
failed to materialize. The official
announcement Of the appointment of
Mr.. George N. Whitehead to be APP
praiser Of the port of New York has
been given out at the treasury. This
is in accordance with the wishes of
the New York senator and with the
recommendation of the secretary Of
the treasury. When Secretary Gage
first recommended MIR. Whitehead,
Senator Platt did not particularly
favor the appointment but a more
careful examination of the situation
led him, after his return to New
York, to write the president endors-
ing the selection. Mr.. Whitehead
covered himself with glory" some
FIVE years ago, when he was sent as
special agent to inspect the New
York Office, then under Mr.. Wake
mans direction. Mr. Whitehead
made numerous recommendations
for improvements in the manage
ment that ought to be made, and ali
of them have since been adopted, al
though some Of them met for a time
the strong opposition of Mr.. Wake
man. For the past three years Mr..
Whitehead has been collector Of GUS
toms for Porto Rico.

have been erected prior to the revo-

settlers there? Such matters would
be of interest for few probably are
aware of these ancient buildings or

As predicted in former letter
the president is deeply interested in
the proposed irrigation of the arid
lands of the west. He sent for Col.
Elwood Mead, the expert on the sub
ject in the department of agriculture,
Thursday and had a long talk on the
subject, instructing Colonel Mead to
prepare and hand to him data on the
subject. Colonel Mead tells me that
the presidents experience with irri-
CATION on his Montana ranch and his
knowledge of the ranch business leads
him to believe that if the supply of
cattle, known as feeders, is to be kept
up and our very extensive cattle ex-
ports are to be maintained some
method of making the arid lands
available for pasture and the grow
ing of forage must be found and that
irrigation presents the only solution
to the problem.

he will guard against extravaganza

small conflicts with sporadic bands

Some weeks ago the Courier
Journal entered a timely protest
against the riduculous practice pre-
valling in this country of giving
titles to nearly everybody who is
prominent enough to get his name
in the newspapers. We believe it
was Max O'Rell who referred to the
great number of colonies in this
country. The humorous Fr-r CHI
man might have added that those Of
our citizens who were not colonies
were professors or majors If a
military title should not be adapta-
bic there are ssHons." to burn and
the fellow who can't get one tackled
ON to his cognomen is poor indeed.
The great army of Generals" in
this country is growing with alarm
ing rapidity, for it is safe to say
that there are as many Generals
living to-day as there were lieuten
ants during the Civil war. And
while civil and military titles are
being conferred with re ckless prodi-
gality. the society columns of our
large dailies are filled with the
names Of barons and baronnesses.
counts and countesses. All this is
palpably Inappropriate in Repub-

Such was not the intention of the

merely to get the Acadia rice
planters to tslook at the Texas rice
lands" and then go back home.
