Washington Letter.
''What do you make it?"
"Just about $160, 0,OOO."
We were sitting together in the cosy libra
ry of one of the senatorial millionaires, talk
ing of Mr.. Hearst, the new man from Cali
fornia, and the rich Senator was figuring up
on paper the aggregate wealth of the United
States Senate and putting down ON paper the
character of their investments He had
taken only the men accounted rich, and the
footing up had reached this enoromus sum.
The late Senator Miller was very wealthy,
but Hearst is likewise millionaire, and his
income is said to be between $1,000 and $4,000
a day. He ought to be worth at least $1,000
900 to have such an income

several Republican congressman. Iowa and

so, the tidal wave will not come to the Re

THE STATE MUSTER.

Portland, Bangor and Augusta are striv-
ing to capture the State muster, this year.
P0rtland's claim is based ON the desirability
of having the militia as decorative feature
of her centennial celebration. The Portland
papers call for the holding of the muster
there, on celebration week, the first in July.
Lewiston is the most central and best loca-
tion for muster; but Lewiston is willing to
step aside for Portland, this year.
