WASHINGTON LETTER.

Political and General Gossip of the National Capital. Special Cor respondents to The Democrat: This administration is making a heroic effort to do the right thing in cleaning out graft in federal departments and getting as good a record aa it can with regard to bona fide returns on the salaries it lays out. But there seem to be fresh troubles in the way as soon as any troubles have been disposed of. The latest edict that will cause the department clerks of Washington a lot of trouble for months to come is that which will put back their pay days (they have two each month) three or four days per fortnight. Now it may be thought by the outsider that a government job is a private snap. And it is in a good many respects for the man who does not want to soil his hands and who would rather work in a fine granite building with electric fans and ice coolers in the corridors than to do clerks’ work in a plain factory building. But the edict as to the pay days is going to hit the holders of many government jobs very hard. It takes about all a government clerk can make to live in Washington in a style befitting his assumed position. There is a lot of cheap social emulation in the Capital and the most government clerks would rather live in a good house in a good quarter where they can hardly afford to pay the rent than to take more modest quarters and save a little money. The result is that the most of them live from hand to mouth and at the end of the month usually have to brejik into the baby’s bank to get out money to pay their car fare down town on salary day. They have been used to having pay days on the 15th and 30th of each month and their grocers and landlords have been used to having their bills settled on those days. But this has involved an anomoly. The division chiefs who have to certify the payrolls on which the government checks are issued, have been in the habit of doing so several days ahead so that the rolls could get through the Treasury Department and get back with the money in time to pay out promptly on the fifteenth, and thirtieth. But this necessitated swearing to the payrolls for two or three days work that had not yet been done by the clerks. Now the order comes that the division chiefs are not to swear to the payrolls till the tale of days is finished and the clerks have earned all the salary that is coming to them. Also the chiefs are to be able to certify that the clerks in question have been at their desks and have done the work, that they have not been off on suppositional sick leaves and have really earned the money that the government is paying out. This is going to hurt the consciences of a lot of division chiefs as well it might. It is also going to put a lot of clerks behind with their rent and their butchers’ bill. And more than that it is going to strike off a whole lot of sinecures from the payroll if the order is carried out in the letter and spirit. There are a good many clerks to committees that never meet, private secretaries to various officials whose hardest work is to walk to the department and draw their salaries, and clerks on the regular rolls in the departments who on account of pull are able to be at their desks about half of the time and then not do any work to speak of. These will all suffer with the honest, bard working clerks, and there are a good may of these who will be mightily inconvenienced by having his pay day delayed half a week or so out of each month. t t t There ia more individual trouble brewing between the Secretary of the Treasury and the Surgeon General of the Marine Hospital Service. Of course it is known that the Marine Hospital Service is a branch of the Treasury Department just as is the Light House Board and the Life Saving Service. But the Marine Hospital service is a very important branch and has of late years been getting farther and farther away from the Treasury in the matter of independent action. The latest trouble in that direction has called out another investigating committee which has discovered what the Secretary of Treasury knew already, namely that the Surgeon General of the Marine Hospital Service has gone over the Secretary head and gotten legislation by Congress without the approval of the Treasury Department. It was only in the matter of the merging the offices of chief clerk and disbursing officer in the service. But it was done without authority, and as the

Marine Hospital Service has just had satisfaction of seeing its voucher clerk arrested for raising vouchers to the amount of about 120,000 the Secretary of the Treasury thought it was a good time to call down the Surgeon General. And he did. What the the outcome of the fight will be no one knows. t t t The Secretary of War will find hia bands full when he returns to Washington. He will undoubtedly be called upon to make an investigation of Panama affairs, for the country has been flooded of late with reports of the bad conditions on the isthmus and the way the work is not getting done on the canal. He will have to organize a campaign for Philippine free trade, there will be a report to the President on the Chinese boycott, action will be necessary in the Taggart case, which has stirred up the army from end to end. And above all there will be the question of re-establishing the post canteen in army garrisons. This is a subject that it will take a lot of moral stamina to handle, and it is possible that the Secretary will elect to let it drop. But army officers as a rule say it ought to be done.

LETTER FROM S. M. NORMAN.

Walla. Walla, Wash.,Sept. 18,1905. Editor Democrat: —We write you asking you to please hold our paper until we notify you where to send it, as we are leaving Walla Walla. We will go by team. We are not leaving this pleasant city because we do not like it, but because we canuot get a claim here, and we do not like the irrigated land, as there is a shortage of water at times, causing a great loss to orchards. A shortage of water this year caused much of the fruit to wither on the tree and much fell off. Wheat crops are better than they were last year. Wheat went from 20 to 60 bushels per acre, and very little went as low as 20 bushels. What is called the Eureka flats had a better wheat crop this year than ever before: wheat made an average of 60 bushels per acre. Can you imagine one man with 3,000 to 4,000 acres of such wheat land making this average? There are plenty of such farmers. A man with a small amount of money could not run such a ranch, as hired help comes high, ranging from $2.50 to $6.00 per day, including board but no bed. One is supposed to furnish their own bed, and sleep in the barn, in field or wherever they may find it convenient. Some ranches have bunk houses, but it is very healthy to sleep out of doors. A great many people sleep out on their lawns the whole summer long. But people from the east don’t fancy going about with their beds on their backs, as is the rule here. The Alfalfa crop is good; first crop is cut in June, second in August, and third in October. We have no rain to spoil hay as you have in the east in haying time. But our winter is more rain than cold. We prefer the rain to the cold weather you all enjoy in the east. In April we had a frost that hurt the prune crop badly. The last Sunday in August we had a dust storm, the worst the Walla Wallaians and valley residents ever experienced in forty years, old residents claim. Oh, how I would like them to take a stroll in our old and well remembered Hoosier state, and face a good swift breeze once. This wind blew off the pears and apples, and the crop will be short for winter use, All kinds of vegetables are plentiful; potatoes are 70 cents per bushel, onions 40 cents, cabbage 1| cents per pound. Stone work is not plentiful here in the valley, as stone is scarce and has to be shipped in. Also, the artificial stone hurts the trade. Small stone is plenty in some places, but is more like river stone, being so small. I have built more retaining walls than anything else, some seven feet high, also yard fences out of these small rock, and pits for hydraulic rams used to force up the water for sprinkling lawns. There is a 'kind of small stone with cells in it like honey comb, red-like; makes fine fences around lawns. I have built the only arched stone footbridge we have in Walla Walla. I got a good price for the work. Now, friends, we are expecting to have a very pleasant trip, and our five sons are anticipating a very exciting one; they are expecting to meet with some of the ad-, ventures of Boone and Kenton of old, but we older ones enjoy hearing the air-castle building going on, and yet it is very exciting in the extreme sometimes. Kind regards to all old friends. S. H. Norman. See Baughman & Williams for farm and city loans.

v Cuban Land. I am not a land agent, but I can tell you where I bought land last year that has already increased in value 150 per cent. Thia is because thousands of Americans are investing there, building railroads, augarmllls, saw-mills, and other tbinga necessary to develop a new and fertile country. Land that is producing SSO to *75 clear pront per acre yearly in sugar cane. Land that is producing *750 per acre net pront yearly in ordinary cocoanuts. Land that is producing *4OO per acre yearly in oranges, lemons, pineapples and bananas. Land where rich grass grows higher than a horse's back, and on which cattle fatten with no other food, ready for the block. Land with a perfect climate, cooler in summer than it ia in Indiana, with no frosts, and plenty of rainfall. Richer land than you ever saw, unless you have been there. Land covered with forests of great commercial value, such as mahogany, sabicou, juiqui, etc. I can introduce you to a man who makes a practice of backing these statements up with his pocket-book—he will give any responsible party his certified check for *3OO, and if this party should, upon investigation, find any of these statements untrue, he shall go to the hank and get his *2OO, which pays his expenses and leaves *SO for his time; but If everything Is as represented he shall hand the check back, and he will buy land, all he can pay for, just like I did. This won’t last always, and ‘‘the early bird,’* etc. Parties going to Cuba every month. If you want to know more, see me, or write. Rensselaer, Ind. E. J.WILCOX,

The Child As A Responsive, SelfGoverning Being.

The power of thought over the body can not too early be taught a child to develop its creative energy as a self-governing force, keenly alive and responsive to all true sentiment. It is the mis-direction of this force within, seeking activity, or expression in creation of some form, which constitutes the child’s chief burden in his school life. The greater the creative force of the child, the greater his strength of character, the greater the teacher’s responsibility to that child as, also the greater his duty to develop that child’s force into a self governing being, responsive to the demands of true citizenship The thoughts a teacher thinks of the child produces a mental atmosphere to strengthen or binder its development, for others as well as the child will receive the same thoughts from the teachers, and multiply creative force to help or obstruct its development, and the quality of thought that stimilates its mind daily, chisels its outward form, and as it develops, orrepresses its strength as a responsive force, so is the child drawn to, or repelled from all uplifting associations. To me, the teacner that can take the child whose face is so expressive of the vitality within, and leave that expression unmarred by fear and vicious thought, is a greater success as a teacher than the one who governs by fear, for the thought of fear is a positive poison produced in the body, reducing vitality and causing the body to be open to disease germs. If the child leaves a teacher with a countenance changed from one of hope and joy to that of sullen depression, then it all has been a miserable failure.

Sale of Pianos Returned from Rental This has been one of the greatest years ever known for people to rent pianos in Chicago. All classes of pianos have been in demand—the Steinway. Weber, Krakauer, Washburn, Sterling, Huntington and many other celebrated pianos have been used in largenumbers. These rented pianos are now being returned in great quantities to the largest ChicagoMusic House, Lyon & Healy. Their position in the matter is this: These pianos can no longer be classed as new, they must be sold as second hand, no matter how little they may have been used by the persons renting them. Some of them, as a matter of fact, have merely been standing in a private parlor for six months or a year. If you want one of these pianos or if you think you might be interested, why not drop a postal to Lyon & Healy for particulars? State about the kind of a piano you would like, and they will send you quite a list to look over. On every one of these pianos you are sure to make a large bona-fide saving. Furthermore you may be certain that any one of these pianos will be exactly as represented, for Lyon <fc Healy particularly guarantee this fact, These pianos may be purchased for a small cash payment and easy monthly payments when desired.Write in the near future for the list to Lyon & Healy, 10 Adams Street Chicago. Land Bargains: Just to prove to you, that we can sell you land cheaper than any other firm in the county, we will offer for the next 30 days, 20 choice quarters of land in Ransom Co., at only S2O per acre. This is first class, and as good as anything in the county, so why pay more for land no better? Drop us a postal for list. Rourkb’s Land, Agency Lisbon, N. D.
