THE WASHINGTON LETTER.

That the United States will have
cable communication with Hawaii
by the first Of January, 1903, and
with the Philippine Islands, and
presumably with Guam, by two
years later is regarded as practically
certain by government officials in
Washington. The sudden death Of
John w. Maekey caused for a time,
some uncertainty as to the future Of
the Commercial Pacific cable COM
pany has been in Washington this
week and has assured Attorney Cen
eral Knox that the death Of its presi-
dent would in no way interfere with
the execution Of the plans Of the COM
pany. SO satisfied is the attorney
general with the representations
made by Vice President Ward that
he will leave today or tomorrow for
Oyster Bay where he expects to
secure the presidents approval Of his
Intention to officially sanction the
operations of the Commercial cable
company and probably his consent to
turn over to that company the cable
survey made some time ago by a
United States naval vessel.

Considerable entertainment and
amusement has been furnished to
politicians in Washington by the So
called ''harmony dinner" held recent
ly by the democrats at Nantasket.
"rhe beauty OF the Tilden club and
the Nantasket harmony dinners"
said a prominent republican yester-
day, sis the entire absence of har-
mony which has prevailed on each
occasion. Mr.. Cleveland has gravely
urged harmony which included
the entire elimination of Mr.. Bryan
from the councils of the party and
Mr.. Bryan assures his fellow demo-
Gratis that Mr. Cleveland is a traitor
to listen to whom is treason. Sena-
tor. Carmack assures the democrats
that the Philippine question is the
paramount issue and Mr.. Sheppard
confidently states that the tariff issue
is irrevocably at the front. Mr..
Bryan rather cautiously dodges com
mitting himself to any issue and at
the same time adroitly leaves open a
loop-hole by which to introduce his
free silver folly whenever, in his
Judgment, the people desire a
change. Only recently Mr.. Villas
has emerged from his obscurity and
announced that the old fashioned
Cleveland democracy, which had for
its cardinal principle, tariff revision,
is the brand to conquer with and
Senator Teller writhes at any mem
tion Of lowering Of the tariff duties
while Senator German, who is slated
as democratic lender in the next SEN
ate, viii staunchly support the sena-
tor from Colorado. In a word, den-
ocratic harmony is the same old
delusion it was when Mr.. Cleveland
was defeated and that il was when,
after numerous unsuccessful caucuses,
the democrats in the ffty-seventh
congress were compelled to abandon
all idea Of a congressional platform
on which an could unite"
Pike County press. (Milford, Pa.) 1895-1925, 1902-08-01

The democratic talk of Hill, Cor
man or any new man for a demo.
cratic presidential candidate sounds
like some awakening of common
sense in that party whatever may
be said of their chances. Cleveland
served eight years in the White
House without being able to build
up or strengthen the democracy
Bryan secured two presidential
nominations ana failed ignominious-
ly of election. These two leaders
have practically monopolized the
democratic party for twenty years
and have brought it nothing but
disaster and dissension. 1t is no
wonder that there is a strong senti-
ment in favor of pushing them
aside and putting up some new
man.
Senator Vest of Missouri says the
election of democratic house next
fall will not mean any material ad.
vantage to the party. Nor to the
country, either, to be honest.
Our democratic contemporaries
would have us rePose in the sweet
belief that they are valiantly fight
ing trusts, but when we read their
editorials we are forced to the con-
clusion that they have simply dust
ed off some of their old free trade
arguments and are now attempting
to foist them upon the country in
new guise.
Those remaining bimetallist- left
overs do not consider this good
year for business operations. 1t is a
bad season too for populism and for
calamity -shrieking.
The president has spiked one DEM
ocratic campaign gun by melting out
exact justice to General Jacob
Smith. The democrats had predict.
ed and hoped that the adminlstra-
ton would apply a liberal coating
of whitewash to the Smith incident,
which they would then have had
the pleasure of peeling Off during
the campaign.

The guarantees which have been
exacted from the Commercial Pacific
cable company by the attorney gener-
al are the occasion ofmueh satisfaction
to the administration as they appear
to insure liberal treatment Of the
government and Of commercial inter
ests, while they do not bind the gov
efnment in any way. BY their pro-
visions the company is bound to
charge not to exceed so cents per
word between Honolulu and San
Francisco and to reduce that rate to
85 cents per word after the cable has
been in operation for two years, and
to charge not TO exceed 81 per word
between Manila and China and the
United States and to charge the gov
ernment for official business but half
of these rates. Numerous other
guarantees are furnished, all making
for Just treatment of governmental
and commercial patrons. The only
objection to the plan of the company
lies in its presumable recognition of
the CLAIMS of a Spanish company
which contends that, by virtue Of an
ante-belIum grant, it possesses a
monopoly in the Philippines which
will entitle it to charge royalty
on all messages sent there. 1t 10
further feared that the Commercial
company intends to recognize, in
similar manner, the monopoly grant
ed to a European company by the
Chinese government, which monopo-
ly is regarded as violation Of the
treaty rights of the United States.

The New York papers report that the

nearly two tons Of cheap mixtures sold
for baking powder, and dumped them
into the offal scow to be destroyed.
More of the powder was found in a

The dlfferenf Tiearh authorities
seem to have different ways Of repress-
ing the sale OF bad baking powders.
In England they have prosecuted the
the grocers under the general law and
broken UP the traffic. In Missouri
the sale Of alum baking powder is
actually prohibited by law. In New
York they seize the unwholesome
stun and cast 1t into the river. without
any discussion. The latter way is GER
tainly effective
The alum baking powders are usual
" offered at a low price. ten to twenty
cents pound. or with some prize, as
a temptation to the housewife.
Customers can protect themselves
by Sbuying only high grade baking
powder Of established name ana repu-
tation. Do not be tempted by the
grocer to take something else as "just
as good" or "our own brand" for the
trials show that the grocer himself is
often deceived by unscrupulous makers
and is selling an alum powder with
out knowing it.
There are several good powders on
the market; let the honsekeerer insist
