WASHINGTON LETTER.
(From Our Regular Correspondent

(FrOm Our Regular Correspondent
Congress is again in session, the
Presidents message has been sent in
and all indications point to lively, If
brief, session. The message was we'll
and even enthusiastically received by
members Of both parties. The rcpub-
licans were enthusiastic over the high
plane on which Mr.. Roosevelt puts the
consideration OF the essentially mater
ial subjects with which he deals, and
the conservatism with which he ham
dies the tariff and trusts As was fore
told in these letters, thore is nothing
radicle in the Presidents recommended
tions, but certain portion of his own
party, unable to realize that their lead
or is not ar erratic individual which
they have always pictured him, express
cd qualification and relief when they
learned the moderation of his express
sions.
The force with which Mr.. Roosevelt
presents the trust problem is appreciat-
ed, and his clear-cut delineation of the
end to be attained in antitrust legis-
lation is bound to result in the submis-
sion of numerous bills, aimed to accom-
plish those ends. Senator Cullum has
already presented measure which pro-
hibits interstate commerce in articles
20 "A thn pf-
fcials OF corporations, against whom
charges of monopoly are brought, to
submit such facts and figures to the At
torney General as be may call for, not
for general publication but for mis- own
guidance, All trust Legislation in the
Senate, however is likely to meet with
serious obstacle in Senator Hoar,
chairman, chairman of the Committee
Judiciary, who does not believe that
justice can be done the subject during a
short session.
Mr.. J. j. Hill, president of the Great
Northern Railway, who was seen last
evening at the Arlington hotel, said
that portion of the presidents message
which concerned the trust problem.
He had seen the message several days
before it was made public and thought
the President was wise in leaving Con-
gress to determine the remedy. Asked
If, as a railway president, he could ap.
prove the message, be said, "Our com
pany certainly has nothing to fear "
lie compared many Of the trust promo
ters to the late Mr.. Krupp of Germany
whose country and employees had been
greatly benefited by the fortune he
had amassed and the great aggregation
Of capital he had conferred in single
industry.

SCRANTON, DECEMBER 1s. 1902.

The farewell address of Hon. Ga
lusha A. Grow, delivered in the house
of representatives, on Wednesday last,
which appears in full in another col
unn Of The Tribune today, will no
doubt be read with interest especially
by subscribers of mature years who
are familiar with the brilliant career
of the Northeastern Pennsylvania
statesman. Mr.. Grows first speech in
the house of representatives flfty-one
years ago was upon Mans Right to
the Soil" and was the initial move in
legislation urged by the young con-
gressman which resulted in the enact
ment Of the homestead law, Il measure
that has been of vast benefit to the cit
izen of moderate means by enabling
him to claim equal rights with the
millionaire in the distribution of gov
. ernment lands. His address this
week upon the "Relations Between Cap
ital and Labor" is Il fitting valedictOry
to a long career of usefulness that be-
gan over half IL century ago in pro-
noting legislation that has enabled
the sturdy pioneers of humble
birth to grow up in prosperity in the
great west IN many respects Ga
luslla A. Grow has been more fortunate
than most of the men of grand achieve
ments in the past. He has lived to see
the great results of his life work and
the practicability of his theories of half
a century ago demonstrated. Still hale
nd I,aa rf1y hn will rnf tn ,,ri\ of ia

have enjoyed the fruits Of his labor.

Baron Haussmann's Dismissal.

one of the most amusing occasions on
which Il Turk tried to conform to Eu-
ropean customs without quite knowing
what they meant happened when Baron
Haussnann came 10 Constantlnople on
n visit to Abdul .Aziz, the then sultan.
one day Baron laussmann had an in
tervlew with the grand vizier, who did
not know word Of French. At the be-
ginning of the interview the old long
Turkish pipes We're brought in, and then
Baron Haussmann began making u very
long speech in French. The grand
vi2ier could not understand n word, but
listened most attenively till he noticed
that his pipe had gone out, and clapped
his hand for servant to come and re-
light H. Haussmann, thinking he was
applaudng, rushed toward him with out
stretched hand, intending to shake hands
and thank him. The grand vizier Sec
ing his hand put forth, shook 1t warm
ly and said, Good Bye" under the inv,
preston it was fIaussmann's intention To
leave, and quilted the room.-London

is, we hope, capable of looking forward
to a time when we can conceive 1t to be
otherwise. Federal integration, state
individuality, is the keel of the con-
stitution. At the same time we must
not forget that at the time OF the rati-
fcation OF the confederation we had Il
small population, the boundaries be-
tween the states were almost conti-
mental and their interests in many re-
spects were as diverse us those Of
European nations today. Now all this
IA changed, radically. irrctrievably.
When the material interests OF the
country demand that the national
government ought to be intrusted
with wider executive powers, 1t does
not mean that sovereignty of the
states is lessened, but that their COM
mon permeating interests are concen-
trated and consecrated for national
ends.

Of Human Mature
Origin of a Slang Phrase.

The origin of slang has always been u
puzzle to philologists, but once in a while
q. current phrase can be traced to its
source. The colouuiaisn, "'ru feel like
thirty ccnts,' is apparently nonsensical
hut IL is certainly the most forceful eX-
preston of the day for denoting small,
mean, ana contemplate in ones own
sight. Its origin is thus explained by II
Philadelphia lawyer, who, sometimes
practices in New York:
There is II vagrant law in New York,
under which person having no visible
means of support may be placed in dur
anCe. 1t has also been decided in that
state that a person having so small II
sum as thirty cents in his possession
has visible means of support Now,
there is no law in New York, except the
vagrant law, under which booksellers
and gamblers of that sort may be held.
Shortly after the decision Just mentioned
was formulated two gamblers We're cap
turcd in n raid and taken to the Ten
derloin station house. They sent for IL
lawyer who came and had Il talk with
them. 1T will never do to make any
show of money here he said. Give mo
your rolls They handed their wads over
to him. and he gave each Of them Il quar-
ter and It nickel with Instructions TO pro-
duce the coins when he asked them to do
so in court.
when their cases We're called, the
lawyer got them off on the plea that
they were not Migrants, each having the
legal amount of funds in his possession
Just as the decision was rendered in fa-
vor of his clients. n messenger entered
the court room and required the law
ycr's presence at the Supreme court. He
left without seeing, his clients. and they
wcnded their way to the nearest saloon

And that is how that phrase was
started on its travels. s."-Philadclphia

and this has borne heavily on the COM
inercial interests and on the wage earn
crs. The ins,,lar government has IN ten
months lost over $10oO,0N gold by tho
decline In silver because it was operat-
Ing on Il silver basis. and this has
changed the surplus of revenues into a
deficit at the very time when the other
causes mentioned have caused an extra
ordinary demand FOR The use of the rcvc-
nues for the relief of the people. Agrl-
culture is prostrated Commerce is
hampered and discouraged. All tile po-
litical parties in the Philippines urgent
~ demand u change of the present cur
rency standard. Sonic relief would be at
fordcd by opening n profitable market in
the United States to tho products of the
islands. Still greater relief would be nt-
forded by delivering the business of the
islands from the disastrous effects of the
decline in the price of silver and the
fluctuations in exchange, and putting 1t
upon the substantial basis of the gold
standard currency.
There is in the report a considerable
discussion of the problem OF governing
the Mohammedan Moros with whom
our relations are just now somewhat t
strained, but it deserves attention by
itself.
