MONDAYS county convention was
very orderly and in spite of the
fact of two or three contests from
4be districts very harmonious. In
fact the proceedings were accom-
panied with less friction and dem
cnstrations of antagonism than any
convention we have ever witnessed
in which there existed a fight or
contest between the factions. True,
there were several protests from
tbe districts in question against
tbe action of the convention, and
she gentlemen making them were
conscientious and no doubt felt
that they were morally and legally
right in their position, but the ev-
idence before the committee on
credentials did not seem to Justify
their claims. However, we are
pleased to say, Notwithstanding
this, every man there conducted
himself as a gentleman, and the
convention was stripped Of the
wild and hooting character too
often resorted to by politicians.
We hope this marks the passing,
as far as we are concerned, Of
these unciyiIized political meetings
so common among members of all
parties. Surely the Democracy
OF Obion deserves to be compli-
mented for the manner Of the hold
mo OF its county convention last
AIonday.

WASHINGTON LETTER.

esThe Civil Government bill,
which Will come up for consider
alton in the Senate tomorrow is
an iniquitous measure, SAID Sena-
tor Carmack of Tennessee, yester-
day, when | asked his opinion.
Gas a member Of the Philippines
Committee" continued the Sena-
tor, 81 have had an opportunity
of listening to the testimony at
first hand and there is no ground
whatever for postponing the estab-
lishment of permanent govern
ment in the islands. Neither is it
necessary that census be taken
in order that Congress may act in
diligently. The Filipinos are an
intelligent people quite capable Of,
at least, local self-government.
The educated people of the islands,
and by that term | refer to those
who can read and write Spanish,
are of particularly high class,
many of them having enjoyed the
advantages of higher education
and their fathers before them for
two hundred years. Generals Nc
Arthur and Whittier, DR.. Schur-
man, Hon. John Barrett, ex-Minis
ter to Siam, Admiral Dewey, and
the educators now in the islands
have all given testimony as to the
education and intelligence of the
people and have all practically de-
cIared them capable of represen-
tation in legislative assembly of
their own; and this would be par
ticularly true were their govern
ment to be organized with an
upper chamber, the members of
which were appointed by the Presi
dent. The claim that it is neces
sary to take a census is simply a
ruse to permit the disposal, to
favored capitalists, of the fran
chises and grants in the islands be
fore the people have voice in
such disposition. AS ali example
of the methods which are being fol !
lowed there, the first railroad,
which will be built with the Fill |
pino's money, is to be constructed
from Manila up to place in the
mountains which will used solely
as place of recreation by the
American residents during the
heated term. 1t will serve no in
dustriaI purpose whatever. 1t is
all distressing. The exploitation
of the Islands by favored corpora
tons, if the Administrations poll
cy is successful, will be disgrace
to the fair name of this country.

The action of the Senate in dis
carding the Chinese Exclusion bill
reported by the Committee on
Immigration and re enacting the
Geary law was in accordance with
the prediction made in my letter a
week ago. The influence of the
large corporations on the Pacific
slope, which feared that the stricter
provisions of the Chinese bill
would necessitate their paying
higher wages, proved all-suflicient
to induce the Republican Senators
to vote down the bill. Senator
Hanna, who announced himself as
the friend of the American work
ing man, repudiated the idea that
they would disapprove the action
of the Senator's who favored the

The split between the President
and Congress, over constitution
al prerogatives, which predicted
weeks ago, has materialized and a
sub committee of the House Com
mittee on Military Affairs is search
ING records for precedents which
will Justify its passage, over his
veto. of some of the bills which
Mr.. Roosevelt has rejected. The
President claims that it is not with
in the province of Congress to set
aside the findings of courtmar-
tial and restore to the rolls of those
honorably discharged from the
army or navy, the names OF per,
sons who have been dishonorably
dismissed. The House Committee
is greatly exercised over the claim
and will make every effort to re-
flute it and it is doubtful if the
President can muster d sufficient
number of friends in the Lower
House to support his vetoes if the
committee decides that its action
will be sustained by the courts.
If the President is correct one OF
the chief sources of pension frauds
will be abolished but it will also
mean the curtailment, to very
serious extent, of the power Of Re
