WASHINGTON, D, O., July LA reporter
Of the Associated Press called upon sens'
tor Ednunds to-day and asked him for an
explanation Of his bill introduced yestsr-
day relating to the Presidential appoint
ing power and Of the results which were
to be expected 10 follow its enactment
into q law. Mr., Edmunds said that the
influence Of the executive power over the
Senate and Senators on account Of the
possession Of vast patronage was go great
that the President practically now had
the power Of appointment to all those
offices which are not among the excep.
tions named in the bill, and 1t was
only In extreme instances Of the dis
Coyery OF bad conduct and bad character,
such that II they had come 10 the knowl'
edge Of any honest President himself he
would have refused 10 make the appoint
ment, that the Senate rejected q nomiuG-
tion, Therefore Mr.. Edmunds thought 1t

The past four weeks have been a
season for holding religious conven-
tons, national and state. Chicago
seems to be the center where these re-
ligious bodies hold their meetings this
year. Of those whose conventions
have already been held, notice of them
has been made in the TELEGRAPH.
The National Council of the Evangeli-
cal Lutheran church assembled in Chi
cage last week, at which from three to
four hundred clergymen and delegates
were present. The Lutherans are large
organizations of christians in this
country, and divided into two distinct
bodies which are not in fellowship with
each other, one being ritualistic, and
refusing communion with other de-
nominations; the other in cordial fell
lowship with all evangelical christians.
The Unitarians were also in General
Convention in Chicago last week.
The attendance was large, in view of
the fact that the denomination is COM
paratiyely small one. Some differ
ences have existed in the Unitarian
churches for months past, which some
predicted would result in division of
the Unitarian body, but it is probable
10 such event will occur.
The Universalists have had general
convention in Chicago. Modern Uni
versalism differs from the old-time
faith of that order. The road to heaven
is not so broad and easy for all sorts
of men to travel as it was held to be
three-quarters of century ago. There
are now many able ministers who are
abreast with the most advanced moral
reformers of the present day.

history or official record. A personal
acquaintance with Judge Doolittle for
thirty five years enables us to be some
what familiar with his history.
Against his moral character or ability
as a professional gentleman nothing
will be said. But his official career is
open to fair criticism. Previous to his
coming.to this state he was Demo-
Graf. On becoming a citizen of Wis
consins he became an active supporter
of the Republican party, and was pop
ular as public speaker. In 1857 he
was elected by the legislature to the
United States Senate; he was elected
a second time to that office in 1868.
1t was during his second term in the
United States Senate he was charged
with misrepresenting the will of his
constituency, and was asked by two
different legislatures 10 resign. He
left the ranks of the Republicans and
joined his political fortunes with An
drew Johnson. The career of John
son, it is well remembered, ended in
his receiving the i'll will of all par
ties. The excitement which followed
this strange course of Judge Doolittle
was intense, especially by his old friends
in Racine. There probably never be.
fore or since was an instance of such
bitter denunciatiOn on the part of the
constituency of any legislative Officer
as in this case. Johnsonism having
failed, Judge Doolittle dropped into the
Democratic ranks, where he has beer
ever since. His Democratic friends
here once tried to make him Governor
of this state, but the votes necessary te
elect him were not forthcoming.
Thus much we have felt it duty as
| a political journalist at this time to
say of the Democratic candidate fol
Governor. If there be errors of state
ment they will be gladly corrected.

After much debate on the change of
name. it was voted down by a large
majority. Not satisfied with this, the
minority next sought to have the
name Protestant" dropped from the
title of the prayer book. Here again,
after warm discussion, the attempt to
drop the word Protestant was defeated.
1t has been interesting to notice in the
debates of the Convention how anxious
the same minority were to monopolize
the word church, apparently unwilling
to concede to any other body of chris
tians the propriety of assuming the
name church. The steady hand of the
majority very properly kept the
minority from doing what outside peo-
pie think unwise.

HON. L. B. CASWELE-TWO-CENT
POSTAGE. <''-

The question is sometimes heard,
what has Mr.. Caswell accomplished in
Congress to entitle him to commenda-
ton? 1t may safely be replied that
no representative from Wisconsin has
ever done more to entitle bin to the
thanks of the people of the United
States than L. B. Caswell. The Water
town Republican reminds us of a fact,
which is not generally known, that he
is the father of the two-cent letter
postage law. On page IS of the Record
of the Forty-seventh Congress, second
session, is found the following record
of proceedings:
Mr.. CasweH, by unanimous consent,
submitted the following resolution,
which was read, considered and adopt
ed: ~.
Resoloed, That the committee on
appropriation is hereby authorized to
add a clause to the bill making provis-
ion for the postal service which shall
reduce the rate of postage on first. class
mail matter from three to two cents
for each half ounce or fraction thereof"
The reduction of letter postage from
three to two cents was great boon to
the people of the whole country. Had
Mr.. Caswell accomplished only this
one measure during his terms of SER
vice in Congress he would justly have
been entitled to the gratitude of every
American citizen. That bill relieves
the entire people of the United States
of One-third the expense Of letter post
age. But this by no means is the only
act of Mr.. Caswell in Congress, which
proves him to have been a. faithful and
efficient member The record of his
acts in the House of Representatives
is creditable and honorable one, and
any attempt to beiittle him as mem.
Der is contradlctedT By reference to'the
official reports of proceedings, publish.

PLEuRO.pNEuMONIA.

The cattle disease, instead of dimin-
ishing, is largely on the increase in
Chicago, particularly among the distil-
lery-fed animals, and is declared to be
spreading. The report of those who
have the matter in charge says there
is no other alternative than to slaugh-
ter the cattle which have symptoms Of
the disease; also those which have
been exposed to it. Gov. Oglesby, of
Illinois. says the present laws are in.
sufficient TO deal promptly with this
infectious plague, and that Congress
must be applied to for more stringent
enactments. The cattle interest is one
of vast consequence in the North west,
involving millions of dollars. Chicago
being the chief market of the cattle
trade, will likely be much affected by
the presence of the cattle distemper.

ELECTION TWO YEARS AGO.

AS the election-state, congressional
and county-is near at hand, it will be
found convenient for reference to
notice the following Republican major
tiles at the election in 1884:
The Republican majority for Gov.
Rusk in the state, 1914; Republican
majority for Rusk in Kenosha county,
1928; Republican majority for Caswell
in this Congressional district, 1904 !;
Republican majority for Member of
Assembly in Kenosha county, $40;
Republican majority on the county Of
ficers who were elected ranged from
26 to $50. Blaine's majority in Keno
sha county was 14S. Republican ma
jority for County Superintendent of
Schools Getty not included), S45.

The Republican party Of West Vir-
ginia has adopted the Prohibition poll
cy, and stump speakers are strongly
advocating the cause. Public senti.
ment is destined to crowd itself for
ward, and one or the other of the two
great political parties must, sooner or
later, adopt Prohibition platform. 1t
requires no great stretch of prophecy
to fOretell which one it must be. The
Republican party is SO nearly allied to
the sentiment that it will require no
great stride to declare itself. 1t is only
awaiting public sentiment strong
enough to sustain legislation when it
shall have been enacted; while the
other great party, to which the liquor
interest looks for aid and sympathy,
must turn political somersault to
adopt it. Public sentiment on the sub
ject has made some rapid strides in the
Southern States within a few years.

probably left behind by the crusaders,
or would have been if they had been
armed with such, for they would not |
have been worth the carrying away.
After due preparation. the mutter-
ing of many prayers, bowling towards |
the holy city of Mecca, loud shoutings
and pronounced anathemas on all their
enemies, the entire military forces, |
both horse and foot, were mustered in
to solid phalanx for greater security,
and at given signal from the COM
mander, who rode and gave orders with
the pomp and Importance of a Confed-
crate Brigadier, and becoming to the
Turkish Government, our grand civic
and military cavalcade moved forward.
We felt like foreigners of distinction.
We were two American travellers, and
our entire escort, both civic and mill,
tary, consisted of one dragoman, two
muleteers, two servants and one camel
driver, besides the entire military forces,
all mounted except the rank and file of
the army.
Was all this formidable display nec-
essary for our protectionp 1t seemed
to be for the interest of the sheik to
make travellers think so for the sake
of the Scanty pittance of one dollar a
day for the entire military forces, for
every thing of this kind is god-send
to this people. Such was the custom,
and we had paid for it, and might as
we'll enjoy the ludicrous scene. 1t was
broad burlesque and worthy of being
enacted in circus.
The route is very little inhabited,
few shepherds and goat-herds being
the only occupants of the regions, and
their .huts concealed from the travelled
path. To the solitary traveller there
might be some danger of violence and
robbery, but party of three or four
would incur little risk.
| To avoid the excessive heat of July
sun, the journey was accomplished dur
ing the night. leaving Jerusalem a lit
tie before sunset. The night was love-
ly, with full moon. and as we jour-
neyed along over this lonely Jericho
road through wild and mountainous
region. now slowly climbing some
steep and jagged peak, now winding
our way down some dark and dreary
ravine, a fitting scene for violence and
murder, the moon gave weird aspe ct
to everything around US.
| Our dragoman. an intelligent Eng.
| disappearing Arab, educated at the
mission schools, was entertaining, and
pointed out every spot and object of in.
terest. Among others were the ruins
of the inn' to which the good Samar-
itan took the wounded man who had
fallen among thieves and paid for his
attendance. But" said 1, that in.
cident was not a fact; it was probable
merely supposable case" "Well,'
said he, "this is the place which Christ
had in mind when he spoke the para.
BILE, and where the man aoould haoe
taken hinar" The ruins were those of
some building of the middle ages,
probably erected by the crusaders.
After a journey of seven or eight
hours we reached the plains of Jericho
at two o'clock in the morning, and in
less than an hour our tent was pitch.
ed, supplied with all the proper camp
conveniences and a we'll prepared meal
set before US, to which we did ample
| justice. L.
