VERY CHEAP CAPITAL.

For the purpose of making some pO-
Iitical capital, some of the democrats
in congress recently filed in the house.
for reproduction in the Congressional
Record, a newspaper clipping charging
the president with using the naval
steam yacht MayfiOwer for his per
sonal pleasure, and at the expense Of
the government. Secretary Moody
has written a letter on the subject
which knocks out all the meat con-
tanned in the charges. Speaking of
the Mayhower and its use by the pres
ident the secretary says:
'tShe receives her orders from the
department in the same manner as
other vessels. In accordance with
a custom of long standing, however, a
vessel of the navy has been placed at
the disposal of the president from
time to time as be may desire it. The
Mayfiower has been the vessel selected
for this service under directions from
the president. that at no time should
she be diverted from any naval duties
for which she might be needed
The secretary details the use of the
Mayfiower during the Spanish war at
length and adds:
''The only use of the vessel made
by the president by his direction has
been since the beginning OF the
present commission, June %, 1902.
During the twenty one months she has
cruised %, 600 miles. The president
has spent aboard her at various
times a total of something less than
forty hours and has travelled ninety
four miles in her. OF these, all eX-
cept on one occasion, we're spent in
the performance of official duties.
The total time spent on board by
members of the presidents family or
guests has been one week, and the
distance travelled has been forty
miles.
"AlI expenditures of every nature
occasioned by the visit of the presi
pent or any of his family have been
paid by him. The MayGower has never
been held fer the president nor at
any time has money been expended in
refurnishing the ship as the presi
dents private yacht, nor for reftting
and repairing for the presidents per-
sonal use.
al have the honor to say, in closing,
that according to the best of my
knowledge and belief, the Mayflower
has not been directed an hour from
any naval duty for which she was
needed, nor has a dollar of the pub
lie money been expended for the
pleasure or convenience of the presi
dent or any of his family or guests. "

Prominent Texas democrats are il
favor of having delegates from that
state, to the national democratic con
vention, instructed to cast their first
ballot for Senator J. W. Bailey for
first choice and Judge Parker for sec
ond. None OF them thinks that this
is the proper time to hold out for the
nomination of a southern man. but
they believe that by voting for Sena-
tor Bailey on the first ballot they will
put the country on notice that four
or eight years from now the south pro
poses to attempt to secure the nomin-
alton for one of its men. Four years
from now, if the republicans win in
November, aud eight years hence in
the event of a democratic victory.

Some seventy or eighty years before
