THE WASHINGTON LETTER.

The democratic "frncas. as the
caucus announced for Friday night
has been termed. did not materialize
owing to the opportune illness Of
Representative Richardson After
exhausting every resource in nm ef-
fort to establish harmony in the
ranks Of his hopelessly divided
party, Mr.. Richardson justified the
confidence which was reposed IN
him by his fellow democrats as a
man Of many resources and grew IN
as the date for the caucus approach
ed BY 80 doing he prevented n
spectacular exhibition Of the sharp
antagonisms Of his party and the
probable developments OF personal
animosities which would have
greatly added to his difficulties as
leader Of the minority. The demo-
Gratis say that they will surely hold
their caucus at some subsequent
date but little credence is placed in
the statement by those who are in a
position to know.

Woman As a Political Factor.

The newspapers are discussing
with a good deal Of earnestness the
value of women in political cam.
paigns. Many of the journals which
are opposed to woman suffrage do
not hesitate to praise the women
and tell them how they contribute
to the success of municipal reform
by their addresses and other politi-
cal labors. But these papers are
simply putting weapons into the
hands OF the suffragists. 1t will not
be long before the ladies will not be
satisfied with doing much of the
hard work and at the same time be
denied the privileges of citizens.
If women may raise the sinews Of
war, make speeches. drum up the
derelict on election day, all the hor.
rible tolk Of the 'antis" about the
women going into politics goes into
thin air. If women may do every
thing in politics but vote without
being unsexed or upsetting the So
cial order, having the suffrage
would produce none OF the prophe-
sled calamities.
Surely all Of the logic is with the
suffragists and they will not be slow
to use it. Ali women who care to
be in politics can easily get in and
nothing can stop the women folks
from going the whole fignre.-New
York Defender.

The Miles candidacy is said to be
the child Of the general himself,
who thinks he sees in the reprimand
of the president and the fact that
he aligned himself on the side OF
Schley an opportunity to appeal
for support in his aspirations. He
is not at present regarded with
much favor by the democrats but
there is a large number Of men in
that party who are ready to win
with anybody that can secure the
votesapd they believe that Schley-
Miles combination would carry the
popular vote. If they undertake,
however, co relegate Miles to second
place they are likely to find they
have a very insubordinate candidate
on their hands.

Woman Suffrage Where It Has Been

Woman Suffrage Where It Has Been
Tried.
Not long ago the editor Of the
Christian Endeavor World wrote to
twenty-five ministers of different
denominations in the enfranchised
states, choosing their names at ran
dom, and asking them whether
equal suffrage was working well,
fairly well, or badly. One of the
twenty Eve answered that it work
ed badly and three that it worked
fairly we'll, while the twenty-one
others were positive and enthusias-
tic in saying that it worked well.
This is about the average ratio of
opinions in the suffrage states
among people of the better sort.

Friday witnessed an earnest eTort
on the part Of Mr. Hopkins, chair
man ofthe census committee to secure
the passage Of a bill making the
census bureau a permanent affair but
the measure as reported by Mr..
Hopkins, was top heavy in the way
Of salaries and not sufficiently explicit
in regard to the retention Of clerks
so that the able fight against the bill,
lead by Mr. Burkett Of Nebraska,
was successful and it was recommit-
ted to the committee. Mr.. Hopkins
claimed that the bill would result in
reducing the expense of the decennial
census and would increase its eff
cheney. Mr. Burkett objected to the
payment to the director Of the bureau
a salary Of $500 a year when the
chiefs Of other bureaus in the govern
ment received salaries Of not more
than $4,000 or $4,000 per annum.
There are 300 employees in the
bureau at the present time and many
of them have friends on the floor Of
the house. Il was, therefore, de-
manded that the bill provide for the
extension OF the civil service rules to
include these employees. Mr.. Hop
kins said that by the year 1910 there
would not be more that 200 clerks re-
tained. If the bill as passed contains
a provision to the effect that these
clerks shall be placed under the SUI
pervision Of the civil service com
mission it will mean that the $500
who will have to be dropped will
have lien on positions in other de-
partments ahead of those persons
who, having passed the civil service
examination, are on the eligible list
and also that they will supersede the
large number of persons who, as a
result Of the Spanish war, have been
appointed to places under the "tem-
porary provision" but who are
hoping that the president will extend
the law to include them before the
census bill can become law.

So much fiction has been publish
ed in regard to the presidents rep
rimand Of Miles that it seems only
fair, even at this late date, to set
the matter straight, in 50 far as is
possible. Mr.. Roosevelt did speak
with considerable severity and in
public bat he did not show any evi-
denoe Of having lost his temper and
he spoke in public emily because
General Miles, who was very much
excited, persisted in talking as soon
as he entered the presidents pres
enee, instead Of accepting the twice
repeated invitation Of the president
to 90 into the cabinet room where
they would have been alone.
