Congressional Bulldozers

The Illinois Congressional delegation
threatens to kill the river and harbor bill
if the appropriation for the Hennepin ca
nal is not agreed to. 1t IS not improbable
that they could do what they threaten to
do, because the bill does not appear to
have any more friends than it absolutely
needs. But are men who make threats of
this kind worthy Of seat IN Congress!
II they cannot get what they want for
their section they propose to prevent every
other section from getting anything. IhIs
spirit crops out every once in while in
Congress, particularly in the House, and
shows how often legislators, who are sup
posed to act for the whole country, are IN
fiuenced by unworthy motives.
There are very grave doubts entertain
ed bv some of the ablest members of the
House whether Congress has the right to
appropriate money to construct the Hen
nepin canal. or whether, having the right,
it is wise to spend $S0O0,000, or perhaps
10000, 900. on such a work.
The proposed canal lies wholly within
the State Of Illinois. The United states
has no Jurisdiction over any part of it. If
Illinois wants the canal she ought to con-
struct il herself.
When the first appropriation for it was
proposed. it was claimed that the purpose
was to get a survey of it in order that es-
Inmates OF its cost might be made, and
also. that the question might be deter
mined whether it was such a work as the
government could be called on to under
take. The appropriation was made, and
while it appeared that the cost of the ca
nal would be enormous there was nothing
in the report that indicated that the gov
ernm9nt was under obligations to build it.
Having had the survey made at govern
ment expense the Illinois members deter
mined that Congress should furnish the
money to build the canal. They haven't
been able vet to get an appropriation to
begin the work, but it is probable that
they will get it. and, having got one ap-
preparation, VIII be certain to get all the
money they need.
The thought that appropriations for le-
Ultimate public works cannot be obtained
except by virtually buying those who
have schemes of some kind on hand for
taking money out of the Treasury is by no
means a pleasant one. The Eads'
scheme for the improvement Of Galveston
harbor, and two or three other schemes,
were stricken out of the bill, and it may
be that the promoters Of these schemes
will Join with theHennepIn canal schemers
if their scheme is defeated, and do all
they can to prevent the bill from passing.
If the bill should fail the public works in
carfprG1r Tho
works are at stage at which they ought
to be pushed forward with all possible
dispatch.

AN INDIAN AGENTS BIG STEAL.
$500, 900 of which the shOshOnes were
Rnhhad hv a Gnvernrnent Official

100000 of which the ShOshOnes were
Robbed by Government Official.
Three weeks ago, says a Washington
special to the Chicago Daily NaCS, John
Howe. a former Indian agent at the
Western Shoshone agency in Nevada,
died. Mr.. Howe had filled that position
from 1878 to 1881, inclusive. His accounts
have been undergoing an examination at
the Second COmptrOlIer's office of the
Treasury Department for over a year.
They disclose a condition of affairs that
is startling even to the clerks in that bu-
reau, who are supposed to have such IA
miharity with fraudulent Indian accounts
as to be surprised at nothing.
1t is alleged that HOwe's populations
during his three years term of office will
aggregate nearly 100000. Alden r.
Smith, one of the Indian inspectors who
was engaged on the case, reports that
Howe opened large establishment for
the sale of staple goods at Mountain City,
New, and that the original stock, as well
as the subsequent additions, was pur-
chased with money appropriated by the
government for the maintenance of the
Indians. 1t is said that Livingston i Co.,
of San Francisco, were paid thousands of
dollars for different cOnsignments of fine
liquors, every drop of which was sold to
the whites and Indians at eXtOrtiOnate
prices. HOwe's purchase included blue
stone, blasting powder and almost every
conceivable article used in the develop
ment of mines, while only a small per-
centage of the stock could have been
used for the benefit of the Indians. Other
evidence shows that $500 was paid at
one time for a team of horses that would
have been dear at $500.

CONSUL EDWARDS
Trying TO Find Out Why the Anti
Dynamite Resolutions Hang Fire.

,
Dynamite Resolutions Hang Fire.
For an hour this afternoon, says a
Washington special of Saturday to the
New York San, Mr. j. Pierrepont Ed
wards, British Consul at New York, sat
cross-legged on one of the leathern cush-
ions at the main door of the House of
Representatives. In his hand he held
a lot of papers aud letters. One after
another members Of the House Committee
on Foreign Relations and various prOmi-
nent Democrats in the House came out in
response to his card and entered into con-
versatiOn with him. His errand was to
get the views OF the committee members
on the resolution killed in committee the
other day denouncing dynamite eX-
plosiOns in England, and to get
an inkling of Mr.. Cleveland's policy
on England in her difficulty with
Ireland. This errand was undertaken at
the request Of Mr.. West, the British
Minister. Mr.. Edwards viii include the
Democratic Senators in bis lobbying, AID
test their feeling on the subject of Irish
dynamite. 1t is a great disappointment
TO the British Minister that the Commit
tee on Foreign Affairs decided not to re-
port a resolution sympathlZing with
England. Not gaining that wish, the
aim is now to steer the incoming admins
tration right on the Irish question. Con-
gressmen Hewitt and Eaton were free to
say after their interview with Mr.. Ed
wards that the House would have moth
ing to do with the proposed resolution.
As TO what the next administration will
do, that is something that lies on the
knees of the gods. Congressman Finerty
remarked when he heard what Mr.. Ed
wards was about: "Well, that's charac-
terlstic piece of British impertinence."

fsi iceaeefhesi9 bifseV1n be far better II
thesespaefe no Record. Too many of the
members appear to think that the only
fking=tkeir constituents expect Of them Is
buncombe. They are happy, apparently
only when they hear their own voices a
good portion of their time, when they are
not talking, is occupied IN marking tneiI
speeches in the Record for the 0eneht Of
their constituents.
Congress costs the people a good big
sum Of money annually, and they have
rigbt to expect that their Representatives
will do something or adjourn. More than
g.. 900. 600 a year is appropriated for the
legislative branch of the government, and
at some sessions not much else than appro-
priating for the salaries of government
officials is done.
Even the work of making apprOprla-
lions may not be done this session.
very few days of the session remain, and
not One-half Of the appropriation bills
has even passed the House. II tue SEN
ate spends as much time on these bills
as the House is spending an extra ses-
sion will be a necessity. Indeed, it is by
no means certain that the House will
have passed all the appropriation bills
when the day for final adjournment ar
rives.
The folly of holding all the apprOpria-
ton bills back until the last days OF the
session is too apparent to need comment.
The bills cannot be given that cOnsidera-
ton which they deserve. Take, for in
stance, the post office appropriation bill.
The Appropriation Committee gave that
provision Of the bill which provided
new system for cOmpensatIng the rail-
wavs for mail service a great deal OF
thought. 1t heard experts, and inyesti-
gated the system from every standpoint.
The House struck it out, not because 1t
wasn't an improvement on the old sys-
tenn. but because IT didn't
understand it, and there wasn't time 10
get a thorough understanding of it. \
new committee Of another Congress Will
have to do again ali that the present COM
mittee did in the matter. If the bill had
been reported to the House earlier in the
session the House would have had time 10
have understood the new system Of COM
pensatlon and would have acted on il in
telligently.
Other matters OF great importance in
appropriation bills vet to be acted upon
will not receive intelligent consideration
for want OF time. All Of the real work OF
the session is being crowded into the last
few DAYS, and it is not too much to say
that it will be done just about as well as
hurried work is generally done.
1t Is said that many Congressman have
signed a petition urging Mr.. Cleveland
not to touch upon the silver question IN
his inaugural address. They could do a
wiser thing by petitioning him to advise
Congress to introduce some reforms into
its methods of transacting business.

EnsIand's Turbulent worlin gmen

EnSIand's Turbulent Workin Smen'
Thousands of unemployed workingmen
in London are much more interested in
getting something to eat than they are in
the progress Of the English army towards
KhartOum. They see starvation staring
them in the face, and they are getting
desperate. The demonstration in front of
Mr.. GladstOne's house on Monday was
not very alarming as an isolated instance
of the dissatisfaction among the working
people. but it may be only the fOrerunner
of still greater and far more emphatic
demonstrations. These demonstrations
may become so threatening as to cause
very general alarm for the safety OF life
and property.
England is IN no condition to be both
cred by labor troubles at present. Her
very best soldiers are being sent to up
hold her standard in Africa, and her
statesmen have all they can attend to
TO prevent her from becoming involved in
difficulties with other continental pow
ers.
The Ministry is uOt very firmly fixed in
the affections Of the people, and II the OPP
position were well led there is no doubt
that the Gladstone government would be
forced to resign. Unless victories are soon
won on the Nile, it is probable that it will
have To retire, whatever may be the char
acter Of the opposition. With foreign
war on her hands, with Germany seeking
for favorable opportunity to attack her,
and with her working classes assuming a
threatening attitude, England appears to
be entering on a stormy period. Glad
stone is getting to be very old, and the
English people are asking whether they
do not need younger brain and stea-
der hand to direct their affairs.

How a Female lobbyist Got in some
Einta nrk.

Inc NOAA
was talking the other day with an old
member about women lobbyists in Wash
ington and their influence upon legisla-
ton, says a Washington correspondent.
"Fll tell you, % he said, "ab0ut the eXpe-
rience of Il Congressional friend of mine.
He was very much opposed to a certain
measure in which the lobby was inter-
ested. There was not money enough in
the country to have purchased his sup
port of the bill. The lobby went at him
in rather ingenious way. Iney caused
him to he introduced TO very handsome
and interesting married lady, the vile oil
a retired army officer who happened 10 De
interested in the bill. This lady began
mild Irritation with my Congressional
friend and soon had him completely cap
tiVated. Whenever she was IN the gal
lery of the House he would fly up as fast
as he could TO visit her. There was moth
ing in all this but the most innocent OF
firtatiOns. ! will not swear that my
friends intentions were Of the most hOnOr-
abie character. At any rate he STEPPED
himself for several days in the warmth OF
the luxurious idea that this lazy was
| slowly but surely succumblng 10 latal
passion for him. One morning, the very
| day the bill my friend was opposed to was
| to come up, he received a note from this
| lady asking him to call at her house at 1
o'clock that afternoon. This was the
! same hour set for the consideration OF the
bill. The member, however, did not re-
member this. He was SO delighted with
the note that be forgot all about the bill
| He FASTENED to this lady's house, winch
| was in the extreme northwestern part OF
the city. When he arrived there, full OF
| hope and expectation, he found this LADY
with one or two interesting young. nleces
with her, whom she presented. She SAID
| that she had taken the liberty of sending
| for him without explanation because
| she desired him to take lunch with her
| nieces. They were 10 be in Washington
| only day, and were anxious to see so
prominent a man. The Congressman was
| then led out to a handsome lunch table
| and Kept occupied for an hour or so more
| in the pOlitest fashion. When he re-
! turned to the House, he found that the
bill to which he was so savagely opposed
| had already passed. Then he understood
| the matter. He never called upon this
lady again. But she always bows to him
very gOOd-naturedly whenever she passes
| him by" The member added: "That IS
! the only way that l know OF that women
affect legislation. They have a perfect
genius for conspiracies of that sort-t0
| draw away members from their posts at
time when their presence in the House
| might be fatal to a measure"

Poker Playing in the Army.


WASHINGTON, Feb. 13.-POker was at
the bottom of what led to the court-mar-
tialing of Swain and Morrow. Go fur
Their and it will be found that poker was
around when Swain was appointed Judge
Advocate General. Poker runs all
through the business that has occupied
the attention of one of the highest and
altogether the most expensive military
courts that has been held tor years. And
yet not word has been said about it.
Nothing appears on the record to show
that poker had the remOtest relation to
either case. Morrow lost his money at
the gambling table, but no attempt has
been made to find out who won his money
and jingled it in his pocket while the
loser went to the wall. The sentence is
that Morrow shall be reprimanded. What
are the deserts of those who have got Nor
rows money in their pockets! Neither
the court, the prosecutor, nor the defense
wished to go into this. All hands were
anxious to steer clear of whatever might
lead up to the uncOvering of the vice of
gambling in the army.
