PRESIDENTIAL POLITICS.
GOSSIP WITH REFERENCE TO
MATTERS AT THE CAPITAL.
Petty JeaIousies Cropping Out Among
the Aspirants for Presidential
Honcrs.

| Special Correspondence.
! Washington, January 10--Just now
the pot in which presidential politics
is boiled is beginning to simmer here
in gleeful fashion. With the retire
ment of Postmaster General Cortelyou
from the craftsmanship of the republi-
can national committee and the des1g-
nation of Harry S. New, of Indianapo-
! lis, as acting chairman, the first real
heat was applied to the pot and now
scarcely hears anything but it's bub-
bling. Even the Brownsville colored
troops incident has been dwarfed into
comparative insignifcance for the
time and at the principal social func-
tons and in capitol committee rooms
national politics is the principal topic
of gossip-indeed, of earnest discus
sion.
The present situation emphasizes
curious and important fact regarding
Washington. In no other city in Amer
lea are so many important sociai funC-
tons held They are important not
only to Washington society but to the
people of the country, because often
times, momentous decisions and agree.
ments concerning legislation and ma
tional policies are reached at them. 1t
is queer game that is played In
Washington official society. Men are
brought together at dinner or a no
table reception who, if they had met
on the street would merely bow dis
family to one another. 1t not infre-
quently happens that political enemies
thus are thrown together. They get a
different view of each other from any
they have had before and instances
are known of such men healing their
differences over a glass OF wine at the
table of a tactful host or hostess.
only few days ago it was wonder
ed whether Senator Foraker would at
tend the New Years reception at the
White House People could scarcely
understand how he could call on the
president after he had expressed so
much bitterness of feeling not only
over the Brownville case, butsover the !
politics which is to be played in the |
forthcoming national campaign. Ev
erybody knows that the senior senator
from Ohio is a candidate for the re-
publican presidential nomination and, |
too, that he is fighting President
Roosevelt tooth and nail. These facts
cut no figure in the matter of his at
tendance upon the New Years recep-
by Mrs. Foraker, and no one among
the thousands was accorded a more
cordial greeting by both President and
Mrs Roosevelt than they. The cor
d,ality on both sides was not perfume
tory. either. but perfectly sincere. The
president and Senator Foraker differ
on political questions, but the differ
ence does not affect their personal rel
jatjous. Eo.h men are too big and
broad i'm aId ana in disposition toI
permit am unpleasant personal dist
agreement to- arise out OF politics.

Ho d! For Missouri (!

Missouri is making "a strenuous
bid 10 capture the largest popula-

has already passed the house by IS

heretofore, and more attractions.
100, than any other State possesses.
With every porter and waiter and
servant leaving the State for more
femunerative fields. and with every
travelling man seeking To locate in
Missouri, that State would surely
become "a State of unrest. The
temptation 10 tip still remains. how
ever, under the proposed law. be
cause a man may be grievously
tempted To slif a waiter "a quarter
10 hurry his steak or chops. and
only the generous diner may suffer.
while If the same penalty existed
for the person accepting "a tip, there
would be just as much anxiety on
the part of servants 10 avoid the tin
as there would be on the part of the
public not 10 give il.

they are being adjusted inside that

reveals not only a purpose on the

Two other sentences should be
quoted also:
