Congressman Hammond i.

Representative Hammond is at his
home in Atlanta on a short visit to recu-
perate his health. He has taken very
little part in the proceedings Of Congress
this winter on account Of serious illness.
There appears to be an impression that
he will not secure denomination without
a struggle. 1t may be that this impress
sion is created by those who are seeking
the position which he occupies. Mr.. Ham
mond is recognized in Washington as one
of the ablest men in Congress. 1t is certain
that he is a conscientious worker, and
that there are few, if any, who have a bet
ter acquaintance with the leading meas
ures before Congress. His retirement
from public life would be loss to GeOr-
gia. As capable a man might be chosen
to succeed him, but it would take new
man good while to become as well equip
ped for legislative work in Congress as
Mr.. Hammond is. A faithful and capa-
bic representative ought to be kept IN
Congress as long as he will consent to re-
main there.

The Hon, Henry Watterson's Seed Ex-
perience.

perience.
Washington Republican,.
''DO you notice." asked the gentleman
from Philadelphia, 'what a serious,
melancholy, almost mOrOse look Henry
WattersOn's face wears? That is the re-
suit of his experience as Congressman.
His districtO once consented, almost unan-
imously, that he should come to Congress.
WattersOn had not fairly settled himscclltt
in Washington before an old lady down
in Tennessee, who had known him when
he was Il boy, wrote to him for some seeds.
He asked a friendly old member from
New York as to the formula to be used in
getting seeds, and was informed that he
must write to the Commissioner of Agri-
culture, telling what he wanted and giving
the address to which be wanted the seeds
sent. He did write, and either through his
own careless wording Of the note or through
somebody's mistake at the Agricultural
Department, WattersOn's entire supply
of see0s went to the old lady in Tennessee.
There were several sacks full of them. In
a few days letters began to come by the
score from WattersOn's own constituents,
each one demanding seeds. When he
wrote to the Commissioner Of AgrlcUl-
ture he was told that his supply was eX-
hausted. He again sought the advice of
his friend, the New 1Ork member, and eX-
planned the situation. The New York
man told him that there was but one
course to pursue, and that was to bor-
row seed from members who represented
only commercial and manufacturing dis
tricts. From that time on and until Con-
gress adjourned sine die, during all bus
mess hours, Watterson devoted himself
exclusively to borrowing seeds. That is
the reason why so many people never
knew that he was in Congress. He had
no time for Congressional work. He had
to borrow seed.

The Import Duty on Copper.
Chicd00 Tribune fReD.).

The pretense that the tax on imported cop
per is for the protection of anybody is a bald
humbug. The copper product of this country
is in the hands Of a monopoly that is perfectly
willing while applying for protective tax in
the name of American industry to use all the
advantage which that tax and its natural mo-
nOpoly give il to Cypress American industry.
4 monopoly that makes a practice of selling
to foreign manufacturers ON cheaper terms
than it gives American manufacturers and
sells its product abroad on tbs express stipu-
lation that no American shall be allowed to
purchase it is clearly not entitled to hear

The decision of Secretary Folger that
goods cannot be kept more than three
years in bonded warehouse, even after
the duty is paid, and after that time will
be sold as abandoned property, is said to
particularly affect the sugar and liquor
importers, as these articles are generally
kept in bond until sold, which is often
longer than three years.

RaiIroads as Prohibitionist.

The recent resolution of the Southwest
ern Railroad Company, determining here
after to employ no conductor, engineer,
trainhand or other employee who INDUCES
in Intoxicating drink, on or off duty, is at
tracing general attention, and there is
little doubt that the continued growth OF
the temperance boom will cause the grad
ual adoption of the same measure by at
least large majority of the companies.
Thus the railroads are likely to become
the most effective advocates of temper
ance that have yet entered the field, and
in excluding men of Incorporate habits
from among their hundreds of thousands
of employees, they not only perform great
temperance work, but vastly diminish the
dangers of railroad travel.
