DECEMBER SNOWFALL.
Much Lighter Than Average for the Month In
All Parts of State.

The precipitation during December,
1901, was lighter than usual, being much
below the December average in nearly
all parts of the State. The weather
conditions of the past month were
about the same as those which pre-
vailed during December, 1900, which
was an unusually mild and dry winter
month.
Considerable snow fell on the noun
tains during storms the early part of
the month, but the mild weather which
followed caused 1t to rapidly disappear
and at the close of the month only scat
tered patches remained on the high
ranges
Reports indicate that there is now
less snow in the mountains than there
has been for the past two or three
years, the deficiency being quite pro-
nounced over the Humboldt, Truckee
and Carson river watersheds. At the
beginning of winter there is usually
several feet of hard packed snow in the
and gulches, but this year
there has been little accumulated
n it now looks as if the water sup
ply would be rather short next sum
mer.

WASHINGTON LETTER.

Late Tuesday afternoon the
Lodge Philippine bill was passed
in the Senate by vote Of IS 10 Sc,
The only Democrat who voted for
the bill was Senator McLaurin Of
South Carolina, Senator's Hoar,
Mason and Wellnrton, Repuhli-
cans, voted against the measure.
The fifteen minute speech deliver
ed by Senator Mason on Monday,
in which he explained his rea sons
for opposing the bill, was manly
utterance replete with humanity
and common sense and would have
swayed the opinions of any less
partisan hearers than his Republi-
can colleagues. Speaking Of his
position later, Senator Mason said
to me, Il am afraid it will hurt
me but could not conscientiously
support the policy of which the
Lodge bill is a confirmation" The
bill will now 90 to the House for
action, but the Republican leaders
expect to report one of their Gus
tomary drastic rules for its consid-
Grafton and anticipate that the
power of the party whip will Sc
cure its prompt passage, practl-
call y without debate.

Coming down to the two bills
which have been proposed in Con-
gress by the Republican party, the
Democrats have opposed them be-
cause they we're essential confrma.
tions of the imperial policy of the
party in power. In order to bring
to the attention Of the people the
pernicious results Of such a policy
it became necessary to expose to
public view the atrocities which
had, perhaps inevitably, accom-
panied the war of conquest which
the United States was waging in
the Philippines and the result has
been that the Republicans, abso-
lutely unable to present any lOgi-
cal REPUTATION of the charges made
against their policy, adopted the
position of defenders of the army
and appealed to the patriotism of
the people against what they
termed the ISLANDERS of the Demo
Gratis. Space will not permit a
lengthy examination of the Phil
ippine debate, but it is worthy of
remark that there cannot be found
in the Congressional Record a sin
gle speech which, when shorn of
its oratorical ornamentation and
vainglorious exaggeration, pre-
sents a common-sense, logical de-
Tense of the imperial policy Of the
Administration. Moreover there
will be found the grossest misrep-
resentation of the Democratic po-
sition which has been, briefly ex-
pressed, simply demand that a

Now that the tediousIy prolong-
ed Philippine debate in the Senate
is concluded, q brief retrospect of
the Democratic position should
prove interesting. Going back to
the time when practically all of
the Republican and many of the
Democratic Senators voted to rat
ify the treaty of Paris, it should
be remembered that at that time
it had not entered the mind of any
man in this country that the con-
stitution would not follow the
flag. Soon afterwards, however,
the extreme protectionists, fearing
some curtaiIment of their profits
as q result of free trade with Por-
to Rico and the Philippines, be-
sieged the Administration to assess
the full DingIey tariff rates on i'm
portations from those countries.
If the islands were an integral
part of the United States, protect
ed by the provisions of the consti,
tuition, the levying of a tariff
would be unconstitutional, but the
Administration yielded to the i'm
portunities of the protectionists
and the tariff was collected. I'M
mediately test suits were brought
and the Supreme Court practically
decided that the islands were mere
posse ssions, not entitled to the
rights guaranteed by the constitu-
ton and entirely subject to the
Legislative dictum of Congress.
From that time, practically every
Democrat opposed their perma-
nent retention on the ground that
every principle of liberty and
every tenet of the Republic would
be violated by the coercive subjec-
ton of a people who were not to
receive the same protection of
their liberty as is guaranteed to
every citizen of the United States
by the constitution.

is causing untold worry to the
President and the Republican lead
ers and numerous conferences
have been held at the White
House. The latest and most an
noying complication is a substitute
bill proposed by Senator Dietrich
of Nebraska. The Senator's plan
consists in abolishing the differen-
tial on refined sugar, adding a sim
liar percentage to the duty on raw
sugar and then allowing the Cuban
planters a 25 per cent. discount
from the total duty. This plan
would give the Cubans Is per
cent. advantage in American mar
kets and would not increase the
consumer, but would curtail, to
some extent, the profits OF the sug
ar trust. No objection is urged
against the plan except by friends
of the trust. The President APP
proves the substitute and it offers
an opportunity for the now divid-
ed factions of the Republicans to
get together. 1t remains to be
seen, however, how strong the in
fuence of the sugar trust is in the
Senate, for it is freely predicted
that the trust is too powerful in
the upper chamber to permit any
legislation detrimental to its mo-
nOpOlY.
