with the operations Of the leboy.

bad men comprising that body: yet there
have been times when it must be admitted
that the combined lower OF the Third
House has oycrridden the viii II the people.
The bal influence Of the lobby can b. seen
in the numerous blood bills that are intro

as they are ca led. These, If course, are
fought by the butchers and marketulen. The
first attempt t, force a bill Of this descripe

"Anytning ole in this line that YOU think
of, Mr.. Ashiey:'
EYES, there's the JOB to reclaim the Poto-
mac flats, which, had it iecome a law, would
have resulted iii an enormous steai. The
work is HOW being done by the government
itself, and will rid the place OF that uaiarlal
atmosphere Of which we hear 50 much out,
