CUR NATIONAL CAPITAL
LETTER.
Especial to Bystander.)

AS NN'N~A SsNANA SAA'sA~A y
incident to the election Of Presi-
dent, is everywhere present in the
National Capital. Prominent
men from all parts of the country
are visiting the White House
daily assuring the, President of
the unanimous support Of their
respective states. From this
view point, it appears that Mr..
Roosevelt will be nominated in
June by acclamation. The ques-
ton of a vice-presidential candi-
date seems now to be the only un-
settled quantity.
Two things have occurred in
the United States House of Rep
resentatives recently- that give
conclusive evidence Of the fact,
that what the people think Of
things, is gaining ground in the
National Legislature. This po-
tent force which has arrested the
attention and .largess controlled
the action of the members of the
lower house of Congress, showed
itself in the final action of that
body on the question of Civil Ser
vice and the payment of the mile.
age of the members to the second
session of the 5Sth Congress. A
solar plexus blow was given the
Civil Service when it was voted
to strike out the appropriation
for its maintenance, but the peo-
pie were heard from and not
shadow of a doubt.was left as to
their endorsement of the merit
system. The call for the yeas
and nays showed that something
''had dropped and the approp-
ration for the Civil Service pass
ed with good majority. Thus
it was with the mileage question.
It appeared that many of the
Representatives desired to draw
mileage for doing the impossible,
i. e. packing grips, purchasing
tickets (?), and speeding through
space at the rate of from 40 to
1000 miles between two ticks of
the clock, but when the people
were heard from, the mileage
question went with opposition to
the Civil Service appropriation.
There is in this condition of
things a degree of encourage
ment to the ten million of Negroes
in this country. While we have
never contended for any congress
siona1 action to benefit the Negro
especially we do claim tnat such
congressional action should be
had that will give to him with
other citizens, the full enjoyment
of the laws already enacted for
the whole people. 1t is clear to
the interested observer that the
people of this country are slowly
but surely coming to the realiza
ton of the fact that the country's
progress cannot be certain and
substantial. so long as a part of
its citizens enjoy the full privilege
of it's laws, while the other part
is denied this enjoyment. There
fore, it is source of encourage
ment to the Negro that congress
sional action, and in time they
will demand that the laws as
enacted, be administered in the
case Of every man, be he black or
whites with equity and justice.
The people will be heard.

KIND WORDS AS AN INVESTMENT.

There is nothing in the makeup of man that rem
ders larger profit the Investment than kind words
They are safeguard to actions they set at naugh
the tongue of scandal and stay the hand that would smite
u.s. They bid defiance to enemies and overcome our
foes They capture associates and elevate us in their
minds They are never of place but always make US
feel good for having uttered them Their influence is
gentle as an angels temper and as lasting as womans
love They live on through memory and grow brighter
with time They shine along pathway and rival in
brightness the twnklng stars They have the fragrance
Of flowers and beauty of They control our lives
and prepare souls for the paradise of God They rule
in the social circle and teach the sweet amenities Of life
To the outcast in rags they offer consolation and assist
them to better his condition They beam in the mothers
eve and smile upon the fathers brow. They bless the
frugal board and bend the at the family altar They
bind up the broken heart and make the thorny path
smooth They sled beauty along the pathway Of life and
scatter flowers even to the door Of the tomb They live
in pure life and pave streets with gold They bind
the citizen to his country and him to pine for his
native land They control the hero the field of bat
tie and give him repose in the hour Of death They
control the morals of the world and make better men,
The heart must indeed be cold and the soul parayzed
that is not influenced by kind words.

In unloading the legs into a Nile skin
a stevedore chanced to break one in
two. Before long he was dancing
about, stretching his arms over his
head, lifting his feet as high as his
waist with every step and muttering:
Let me have hell. too am ruler
of Heaven. why should not my do
main include hell aiso?"
On examination it was found that
about half of the table legs were mol
low. and were filled with the green
dust Of hasheesh, and the stevedore
had helped himself literally from the
storehouse he had discovered.
There is hardly an article Of com
merce on which the hasheesh Snug
gler does not levy in trying to run
the customs Office. The backs of pianos
have been stripped off to reveal pack
ages Of hasheesh tucked away in vari-
GUS parts Of the case so carefully that
one might play a Beethoven symphony
without the slightest hint that the in
strument was drugged.
Jugs formerly proved a favorite pur-
veyor OF the smuggler's hasheesh.
They we're made with double sides so
that they we're in reality narrow bot
ties inclosed within wide fianged earthen
sides. The neck of the bottle Joined
with the neck Of the jug, so that on pull
ing out the cork one might pour out
true liquor. yet, on cracking the jug,
one could find the packages Of hasheesh
slowed away between the outer and
inner walls.

BEAT CUSTOMS OFFICIALS.
Slaves of the Hasheesh Habit in Egypt
Have Adroit Ways of Evad-
ing the Duty.

Egyptians are slaves to the hasheesh
habit. People of all classes use it and,
although the British government levies
a heavy duty upon the drug, it can
generally be obtained by those who
know the ropes" at a less price than
the duty amounts to.
AT Alexandria, says a London pa
per, there is a veritable museum,
where are stored pianos. picture
frames, biscuit boxes, table legs, books,
demijohns and refrigerators. In all
these articles .smugglers had stored
hasheesh. Despite the vigilance Of the
English officials. it is estimated that
not more than one-tenth of the bane-
fnl drug imported into Egypt is dis
covered
An Egyptian smoker Of hasheesh is
even a more helpless slave than the
Chinese opium fiend He knows that
in the end he will become a madman.
yet he rushes toward the awful goal
with unrelaxed speed. With the
strange exaltation which comes to the
smoker. he feels himself floating from
cloud TO cloud or alighting in the gar
dens Of palaces all his own. or swim
ming with mermaids through the opal
escent depths Of the sea.
Most Of the hasheesh which Egypt
consumes comes from Greece. From
the husks Of hemp seeds and the ten
der tops Of the hemp plant the Greeks
manufacture a greenish powder, whose
fumes bring the ecstasy Its victims
desire. The profits Of those who sue
cessfully smuggle the drug into the
ancient land Of the Pharaohs are tre-
mendous. Outside Of Egypt hasheesh
sells for SO cents a pound. In the
coBntry adjoining the Nile It costs as
much as five dollars.

to lend him the so cents. Thereupon the
physician carefully scratched out a part
