WASHINGTON LETTER.
Rrom Our Eegular Correspondent

The Republican administration is
in veritable Symmes hole with
never ladder in sight, from the
standpoint of graft. Every de-
partment in Washington seems to
be honey -combed with rottenness
and graft. Il is a lust of loot, a
riot of rapacity and q fiduciary fan
dango, to q plumb finish.
AS frequently have written in
this letter previously the whole
tariff fattened gang begins to be-
lieve that this government was
made for them and their especial
benefit; that they are the Almighty s
anointed and that the great common
people OF the country were intended
to be hewers OF wood and drawers
of water for them. They steal the
peoples money and then look hurt
and have the injured innocence ap-
pearance, If a Grand Jury or a Dis
trict Attorney gets busy with one OF
them.
The latest is the Government
Printing Office, which has its story
OF graft or corruption requiring in
vestigation and perhaps q dismissal
or two. Who're is this to end2
Must President Roosevelt devote
bis entire administration to discover
ing scandals in the departments?
If so. it is very hard fate for q
man who is himself believed to be so
upright. But IL he has much more
of this work TO do. he may find it
worth while to 60 behind all the
trouble and inquire why it is that
the Post Office Department had its
Machens, Beavers and others, the
Agricultural Department its Holmes
and other departments their quota
of grafters and thieves, and why he
has had to dismiss eight army off,
GERS this year and bring to trial six
more-all for embezzlement. II is
the get-rich-quick craze which has
been stimulated by the Republican
theory thatgovernment exists to help
people make money, either by Great
ing new offices, obtaining colonial
possessions, or by artificially rails
ing wages and prices by means of
protective tariffs.
When the history of this period of
corruption and speculation in and
out of the government comes to be
written up, some decades hence, he
will be but q poor historian who
falls to perceive that the spirit of
protection is at the bottom or il
all.
The spirit of protection-the
money-mad craze that has taken
possession OF the people of the coun.
try and has kept the Republican
party, the party that has so long
and persistently advocated the policy
of few getting rich of the many.
in Office, is responsible, absolutely,
for the great era Of graft that has
made the last three Republican ad-
ministration rotten TO the core.
The grafters who have grabbed
the offices felt secure in the jobs,
for they believed the people had
given the Republican party an un-
limited lease Of power. They pro-
ceeded, upon this hypothesis, to
grab everything in sight and store
away as much loot as possible
with the results every day visible

MINE woKERS TO MEET
Sixteenth Annual Convention TO
Assemble In India
napolis.

Indianapolis, Ind . Jan. 1.-THE
city is filling with delegates 70 the
sixteenth annual convention Of the
United Mine Workers of America,
which will begin its sessions on Mon
day next in Tomlinson Hall.
Ii is expected the convention VIII
be the largest ia the history OF the
order. During the last year many
new locals have been formed and all
Iocalssorganized within three months
of the date of the convention are en-
titled TO representation. Ii is thought
that the convention this year will be
of unusual Importance. The contract
that was made with the operators
last year was a two year contract,
hence the matter .of wages will not
come up for consideration at this
meeting.
There is much routine business to
be transacted, however, pertaining TO
the internal affairs of the organiza-
ton. One of these matters Of import
ance to be considered and acted upon
is the proposition TO change the Off
ciai organ of the United Mine Work
ers from a weekly to a monthly paper.
Secretary Wilson advises the proposed
change, but the committee on officers
reports does not deem the change all
visable. The question will be settled
by the convention. President John
Mitchell. Vice President William
Lewis and Secretary Treasurer w.
b. Wilson will be reelected without
opposition.

APPEALS TO AMERICA.
Pope Relies on The Catholics
Of The United States For
Financial Aid.

Washington, ID. G., Jan. 14.-No
little comment has been created in
Catholic circles by the appeal issued
by Mgr Falconio TO the hierarchy of
the United States, telling them that
the Pope now relies on the Catholics
of America for financial aid. It is the
first time in the history of the church
that such an appeal has been made.
Il regret to state, says Mgr. Fail
coniol in his appeal, that notwith-
standing the generous response of the
American people the financial condi-
tiono the Holy See is far from being
prosperous or satisfactory. The pres
ent sad state of some of the most pros
porous nations of Europe and the in
creasing demands on the funds of the
church are the principal causes of the
actual financial situation of the Holy
See, sitaution upon which our Holy
Father looks with alarm, because I'M
less his children come forward more
literally to his assistance, notwith-
standing the utmost economy practiced
in every direction, he can hardly meet
the exigencies of the vast administra-
ton of the church, which extends
throughout the whole world.
consequently, His Eminence the
Cardinal Secretary of State requests
me to make known to all the ordi-
naries of the United States the said
financial difficulties, in the hope that
by their zeal those sources of revenue
which have heretofore been forthcom-
ing from France and Italy, and of
which at present in a very large meas
ure the Holy See is deprived, may be
adauuataly communicated Hence be-
sides the general yearly collection,
which is to remain as heretofore and
to be more earnestly encouraged, other
means are suggested which may prove
here in Amreica as productive as they
have been in some countries of Flu
rope.
These means, Mgr. Falconio sug-
gests, are the formation of peter S
Pence Societies. the keeping of
Peters Pence Boxes" in churches
and institutions, and "other pious de-
vices which the piety of the faithful
may suggest
