WASHINGTON LETTER.

Political and General Gossip of the National Capital. Special Correspondence to The Democrat: Never before in the history of the United States has a ohief executive been faced with such a number of proseoutions for irregularities in the government service. The acting Secretary of War has now come to the front with prosecutions in the Schuylkill Arsenal case. This case has been rather obscured in Washington by nearer upheavals in the federal service, but the Judge Advocate General has now been instructed to prepare for the oriminal prosecution of Mooris Bosch, a contractor, and Robert Charlton, an inspector in the arsenal muddle. Bosch holds a contract for famishing far caps and gauntlets to be delivered at the Schuylkill Arsenal. The action will be for conspiracy to defraud, based on a recent report of Maj. Strong, acting inspector general. The report alleges a conspiracy between Busch and the inspector Charlton. Hereafter a commissioned officer will be detailed as inspector of the clothing material furnished. The order of the acting Secretary of War provides that the contractor be compelled to work out his contract and failure to do so or the offering of inferior goods will be made the basis of a civil suit. The Quartermaster General of the Army will have an investigation made of the other depots in the service among which is that at New Orleans also under a civilian inspector. It is not believed that such a state of affairs as that existing at Philadelphia will be discovered, but Gen. Humphreys intends to be on the safe side. t t t The question of a successor to Dr. Salmon, the state chief of the Bureau of Animal Industry in the Department of Agriculture, has not yet been settled and is not likely to be for some time to come. Dr. Alonzo E. Melvin, assistant in the Bureau, will act in Dr. Salmon’s place, but it is by no means certain that he will receive the promotion permanently as it is said Secretary Wilson has his eye on another man to take Dr. Salmon’s place. Meantime a good deal of gossip is going round as to the exact reason for Dr. Salmon’s resignation. The phrase “unfortunate connection” was used by the Secretary of Agriculture in speaking of Dr Salmon’s relations with the Howard Publishing Company that had a contract for meat labels with Dr. Salmon’s Bureau. It is now said that there were some phases of the Doctor’s financial transactions with the Howard concern that were neither actually culpable nor altogether praiseworthy from a departmental point of view. It is also said that Dr. Salmon managed to save the whole of his salary while Chief of the Bureau, and that he leaves the Department well provided financially. Dr. Salmon himself refused to discuss the matter further than to say that all he had to make public was contained in his letter of resignation to the Secretary of Agriculture. ttt The selection of a permanent new Public Printer to succeed Mr, Palmer has not yet been made. Both the ex-public printer and foreman Ricketts with whom he had the difference that led to his removal, called on Chairman Keep of the investigating committee, at the Treasury Saturday and the friends of the foreman insist that he is going to succeed his old chief as Public Printer. This is not thought likely although he has been temporialy appointed as it is believed that President Roosevelt, for reasons of policy if for nothing else, will pick an outside man who has had nothing to do with the row in the big printing office. ttt There is a great deal of interest in Washington over the return of the Taft party from their tour, inspection, junket or whatever it may be called through the Philippines. More interest than usual has been taken in this trip because of the expression of great interest that has been made by the members of tbfe party in favor of closer trade relations with the Islands. It is more than possible that after the members of the expedition get back and have a heart to heart talk with Uncle Joe Cannon that they will find their views on trade relations have been misunderstood in the United States. It is not likely that a region producing as much sugar and tobacco as the Philippines will be allowed to crawl under the flap of the tariff tent till the controlers of those industries in the United States have had a chanoe to try the ground and see how far the

control of the sugar and tobacco crops can be made profitable to them. Meantime of coarse it is not certain that we are going to keep the islands at all. Japan wants them and this is reason enough in the eyes of many people why we should get rid of them on Japan’s terms. The mere fact that Japan has no money to pay for them does not enter into this particular discussion. It is probable that a large part of this relinquishment talk emanates from army officers who do not fancy a two years doty in tropical latitudes. * ft t The board of consulting engineers of Panama Canal have had another meeting in Washington. After they get through here they will vary the monoteny by taking a trip to Oyster Bay to call on the President and then they will probably run down to Panama which has already been the vacation ground of bo much highly specialized engineering talent. What they will do in the matter of settling the fate of the canal is a question of the near future. Their conclusion is by no means in sight and the work of actual digging will wait on them and on sanitary precautions for some time to come. There is of course no hurry as they are getting paid at the rate of $5,000 each and sls a day expenses.

WILL ADE FOR REPUBLICAN DISTRICT CHAIRMAN.

An Indianapolis political writer has the following of interest to the people of this district: The Ade family, of Kentland, made famous by George Ade, writer of fablesand plays may dip into the political game when the Republican State Committee is reorganized next January. Will Ade brother of George, is being urged to become a candidate for Tenth District Chairman, and he may be brought into the race before long. “Brought into the race” very nearly explains his attitude toward the proposition, for it is said that he does not think a man should seek the position. It is not known to what extent he has been influenced by his brother’s comedy, “The County Chairman,” but his friends are trying to show him that if he will “get busy” he can win out and perhaps attain a position where he can get material for another political play. He is regarded as a conservative business man, and will probably be a very formidable candidate if he runs. The present District Chairman is “Kit” Sills, of Monticello, and ho has had but one term. He expects to be a candidate for re-election, but the outcome of a contest between him and Ade would be very doubtful under the circumstances, as there are several candidates for state office in the Tenth who would have to play fair in a division of their delegations or take the consequences. Inasmuch as Sills and Congressman Crumpacker are very close friends, it will probably be said that the effort to bring Ade into the race is an anti-Crumpack-er movement, but it is not, as the men who want Ade are friendly to Crumpacker and expect to support him at the district convention next year.

WASHINGTON.

The move has not been very quiet, but there is a strong move by some good people of our City and adjacent country in the direction of buying lands in the United States of America under the old Flag and at much less per acre than $12.50. No better land found in any other country, no more promising future, no better speculation, no greater profits to be realized, all prairie land and in the best climate under the sun, healthful and pleasant the year round. We are selling this land to people on its merits and we will guarantee every one that they will find it just as we represent it to them in every respect. We are willing for you to inquire of any one who has lived in this country one year or longer and take their version for it without filling you with hot air to get you to go, or you come aud go see it. ~ ~ This land is selling and for that reason we are not begging for buyers but only desire to let our friends know what we have and give them a chance to get something that will do them good. We were called by a man several miles from here Monday of thiß week who wanted to and did buy a good size tract of land. We had only 30,000 acres when we began to sell, the bigger portion is now sold and it will stand any one in hand to come and see us soon if you want any at the price, We are selling it now for $5.00 per acre, all cash or in payments if a man wants it that way. These lands are in Central Eastern Washington and unsurpassed in fertility and accessibility, addaptable to any phase of farming, no Stygomia, no potato bugs, no infection in fruit, no bubonic plague. and the finest people in the world for neighbors. Come and see us, many are going sure.
