Especial Washington Letter.

Especial Washington letter.
TWv HERE are unquestionably hon
M est men in the federal depart
A ments, plenty of theia. Most
of them are honest, but just
now they are not much in the lime
light. Graft seems to be running RAM
pant-graft in the land Office, graft in
| Indian affairs, graft in the postoffice
department. graft in the printing Office,
graft in the agricultural department,
graft in the building of the Panama ca
nal. graft in making clothes for the sol
diers. II this thing keeps on little
while reform is going to be the para
mount issue in the next campaign, as
it was in 1876, and the Democratic
nominee will be elected on that issue in
1908 just as Samuel Jones TiIden was
elected on it in the centennial year, and
he will not be swindled out of it, as
was the great New Yorker. Turn the
rascals out" will be a potent battle
cry once more Within a comparative
ly short period four Republican United
States senators and two Republican
representatives in congress have been
indicted for high crimes and misde-
meanors. One, Quay, was tried on the
merits of his case and acquitted. An
other escaped through some technicali-
ty. Two. Burton and Mitchell, have
been convicted and light sentences i'm
posed. Burton's case was reversed by
the supreme court of the United States
because the venue was improperly laid
in the Indictment. 1t is doubtful if he
can be again convicted Mitchell's case
stands on appeal. So far the two rep
resentatives have not been convicted,
though one has been twice tried, and
his third trial is in progress while this
is being written. People believe that
where there is so much smoke there
must be some fire, and consequently
next year and in 1908 they are likely to.
subordinate the tariff and everything
else to the reform issue. Then things
will pop.

A Mule Wanted Forward.

The jackies on the good ship Mis-
souri, Of our Uncle Samuel's navy seem
to be without a mascot. OF course it
is a well known fact that all the ves-
sells of the navy have their mascots,
the pets of the crews. Sometimes it's
a dog, sometimes monkey, or even a
billy goat.
State pride has caused a number of
young Missourians who sought places
in the navy to so manage it that they
were assigned to the great ship named
for their own state. From one of them,
Edgar Hurst of Cass county, the st.
Louis Republic has received letter In
which he sets forth the desire of the
boys to have a genuine Missouri mule
as a ships mascot. Hurst says:
If you know any public spirited cit
iZen who has an extra mule in his garage,
we, the crew, would be greatly pleased
to receive it. We have already in our
possession silver service and bell, but
a mule is the one essential thing our
hearts most crave.
Some of the difficulties attendant up
on the care, feeding and petting Of a
mule aboard snip naturally come TO
mind For instance. not being all
aquatic animal, this gentle hybrid
might suffer from NAL de mer, but
this difficulty could be met by some
loyal Missouri druggist who happens
to be overstocked with bromo seltzer.
Green food would constitute another
problem, but some boy reared on Ii
dairy farm could readily convert one
of the twelve inch gun turrets into a
silo which even the Hon. James Wilson
would approve. l can think Of but one
difficulty worthy of serious thought
and hesitation, and that lies in the
question, Might not the mule in a play
full moment kick the armor plates off
the sides of the ship and cause more
damage than the guns of Cervera's
fleet? But, taking it all in all, it looks
as if the boys should have the mule.

My Old Kentucky Home.

While lecturing in Old Kaintuck re-
Gently took note of the political stu
alton somewhat and found that red
hot campaign is on for United States
senatorship between Joe Blackburn and
Judge Paynter of the supreme court,
who, prior to going on the bench,
served two or three terms in congress-
Once upon time one of my most val
ued constituents, Judge Samuel T..
Weeks, in introducing me to an audi
ence, said inter ALA, mo man is re-
ally popular until people call him BY
his Christian name, without any handle
or prefix" If the judge was correct
in that remark, then Joe Blackburn is
by long odds the most popular man in
kentucky. His real name is Joseph
G. S. Blackburn. He is serving his
third term in the senate. He was a
captain in the Confederate army, but
nobody in Kentucky ever called him
senator, captain, mister or Joseph. 1t
is always Joe and generally, "Hur-
rah for Joe.' Even the children talk
about Joe Blackburn as glibly as
though he were boy in knee breeches
instead of being a hoary headed grand
father. Judge Paynter is unquestion-
ably man of ability, but he will find
the title of Judge" a handicap in buck
ing against Joe. Stephen A. Doug
las always declared that his title of
Judge had been hindrance rather
than help, as he expected it would
be when he secured it by appointment
to the supreme bench of Suckerdom
almost before his beard was sprouted,
to the amazement of mankind.
Joe appeals to hoi polloi. The judge
is backed by the Beckham state ma
chine-a valuable adjunct surely. The
Blackburn cohorts declare that the am
bilious young governor is after the
scalps of both Joe Blackburn and Sen
ator James Bennett McCreary. Not be-
ing ready to run for the senate himself
now, he puts forward Judge Paynter
to seize Blackburn's toga, intending to
go after McCreary's himself two years
hence. The inevitable consequence is
that Blackburn and McCreary, who
have never hitherto pulled together,
have been driven into an alliance often
sive and defensive on the principle
that self preservation is the first law
of nature, and anybody who knows
anything about Kentucky politics
knows what a valuable partner Nc
Creary is. Search the state over, and
two Kentuckians more unlike than
Blackburn and McCreary could not be
found. They were born the same year
and are unlike in everything except
that both were Confederate soldiers,
both members of the legislature and
both representatives In congress and
that both are lifelong Democrats and
both are senators of the United States.
MeCreary is one of the coolest of NOR
tails, Blackburn one OF the most impul-
sive. McCreary never expresses an
opinion until it is thoroughly consider
ed and then expresses it most diplo-
matically. Blackburn blurts out what
ever pops into MS head and does It IN
language so plain that the wayfaring
man cannot fail to comprehend it.
That McCieary will have joint forces
thoroughly organized there can be no
doubt. and that Blackburn will wboop
the boys UP in great shape is equally
clear These two old boys are making
the fight OF their lives. and they will
