WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our regular correspondent.


Judging from the way IN which
the House of Representatives has
spout portion of the week, one
would say that members are not
anxious to do anything important,
and are in no hurry to adjourn.
They spent one whole day in fhbus-
terIug roll calls, through an effort to
give precedence to the bill imposing
a tax of two cents a pound Oh cleo
margarine.
The people of Washington are
complaining that the present Con-
grcsS has done so hltle for the
District of Columbia. Washington
has no legislative body of Its own
like other cities Of equal proportion.
It depends upon Congress for every
thing; for the annual appropriation,
for the salaries Of its special ser
wants, or the levy Of an assessment,
down to an imposition of \ police
court penalty.
Congress finds this arrangement
hurdensome at times, but go long as
II retains Its present absolute con
troll, the District will Glamour for
attention. Congress is about TO APP.
proprlate five thousand dollars to
giid the Goddess Of Liberty on the
dome of the Capitol, and to provide
for another new park. This is
thought to be we'll enough, but the
city is full of pretty parks, while it
lacks a respectable post Office bull d,
ing. 1t is more practical than Chas.
Lamb, who was willing to live with
out the necessities Of life if he
could have the luXuies. just at
present Washington would forego a
gildod goddess and new park for 4
postotiice.

The fall election

The fall election promised to
make many changes in the House
of Representatives. There are a
few members who can come back to
Congress as long as they wish to,
and who avail themselves of the
privilege, but there will be a gen
eral shaking up among the majority.
Many have declined denomination
some have failed to be renominated
already, many more will yet fail and
many more will be beaten. The
Presidents order that subordinate
Government officials shall not take
part in political conventions, will, it
is said, seriously affect the chances
Of several members, whose official
friends have already been chosen
for delegates to conventions.
Within the last two weeks almost
every member Of Congress has re-
celved from one TO twenty letters
asking for blanks, etc, that the
writers may make application for
pensions under the Mexican pension
law. The truth is, the Mexican Pen
sion bill has not yet become a law,
and probably will not this session.
The Senate and House have differed
about the bill, and it cannot reach
the President until they agree.
There are upon the pension lists
over three thousand survivors of the
war of 1912 and over eighteen thous-
and widows of the 1912 oldiers.
During that war the army averaged
about thirty five thousand all told,
officers aud enlisted men, and the
whole number of killed and wound
ed only amounted To five thousand
six hundred and fourteen. Yet on
the first OF July SIX million dollars
appropriated for pensions to sur
vlvors widows, minor children, and
dependent relatives on this 1912 roll
became available. OF revolutionary
petitioners there are few widows
and minor children who llnger still,
but The revolutionary pension roll
mas nearly ceased To exist. All pen
sion lists show III the course of fifty
years "a small beginning, rapidly lu-
creaslng and slowly decreasing un-
I'll within Il century 1t Is wiped out.
If no war occurs IN the next halt
century, The wealth of the United
States, relieved Of this enormous
drain on It's treasury, aud of pay
meut upon the National debt, viii
be something fabulous.
For The SAGE OF the people in the
back districts, IL is too bad that the
bill to establish agricultural expert
ment stations was killed in the Sen.
ate almost without chance for dis
cussion, may say. This measure
was second only to the oeomarga-
rine bill in attracting the bucolic
fancy. Every Congressman with a
rural constituency has introduced
at least one of these bills during the
session.

A Great Man and Leader Gone.

Hon. Samuel j. Tilden died at
his residence, near New York City,

was one OF the most conspicuous
public men in the United States.
His death was quite Unexpected,
and will be sincerely Iamented, He
was in the 73d year of his age. He
died from the failure of his heart

There are cabinet-makers, silk-weav-
ers, painters, BARRIERS, rice ornament
makers, embroidery workers, tailors,
lady hair dressers, copper-smiths
porcelain decorators, bronze work
ers, potters, wood carvers, and doz-
ems OF other art workers of equal
interest. As the men and women
carry on the work of manufacture
or decoration the younger children
play about the different shops, keep
ing the babies quiet and amusing
themselves in ways most pleasing to
a person unaccustomed to their
habits.
The typical Mexican orchestra,
comprising sixty musicians of rare
ability, all attired in the attractive
costume of their native country, is
another rare feature procured by
the Exposition management. People
who visited the Worlds Fair at n lew
Orleans, and there heard the Mexi-
eau band, will surely not fail to take
advantage of the opportunity now
provided for partaking of the mus.
zeal feast to be furnished by tais
celebrated orchestra, as it will be
the orgaulzation's last tour through
the United States.
Another musical feature, and nov
city as well, will be the widely
known McGlbeny Family, consist
ing Of father, mother and thirteen
children, each a musician Of super
ioI talent.
The rapidly increasing interest of
Wisconsin people in raising fine
bred dogs has prompted Manager
Bechtner To arrange FIR bench
show, at no small expense, which
shall afford Exposition. patrons the
opportunity of inspecting the most
interesting and largest exhibit of
fine bred dogs (lncludlng several of
world wide tame) that 1t has ever
been their privilege to enjoy. Wis
ltors to the Milwaukee Exposition
of 1886 viii also find a great many
other Interesting and Instructive
specialtles, for which the mauage
ment has closed contracts. 70 pro-
vide these it has been necessary To
Incur an expense OF many thousand

WE agree with the Suaday TEE
gr0ph in the statement that Oshkosh
owes Senator Sawyer a debt her
people surely will never overpay. 1t
was through his Efforts chiefly, that
the bill providing for the construction
Of a public building for government
use IN that progressive city, was
pushed through both houses of
congress. Senator Sawyer did more
than. all other elements aud comb
nations in securing the signature of
the President to the bill. The vic
tory for Oshkosh is a glorious one.
The President on Monday signed
the oleomargarine bill under the
influence of William l.. Scott, OF
Pennsylvania, who introduced 1t
originally in the House, and under
political pressure from the Demo
Gratis of New York State, who feared
the effects of a veto upon the fall
elections. Until Saturday he was
Inclined to veto it and had mes
sage written. That message was
sent to the House pointing ont
The defects in the bill and the
objections to it. After deciding to
the measure the President
concluded to send in the message
anyhow and the House got the ben
eft of it.
