Congressman Ealoe.

Our Congressman, b. A. EnlOe,
is making quite a reputation for a
new member. He was in the
newspaper business twelve years,
and, cfcourse, knows just how to
appreciate newspaper comments,
of which he has received a liberal
share.
His greatest efforts have been
in tho direction of reform. One
of his bills strikes blow at the
evil of Congressional funerals. 1t
provides chat when q Senator or
Representative dies the Sergeant
alarms shall take charge, unless
the family wishes otherwise, and
shall have the remains properly
inferred in he Congressional
Cemetery, or shall attend the ship.
ment to such point as relatives
may desire. 1t further provides
that the funeral expenses incur
red by the Sergeant-at-Arms shall
be paid out OF any money in his
hands to the credit of the deceas-
ed member, either on account of
salary or mileage; and if the de-
ceased member has no money to
his credit at the time of his death,
and his funeral expenses are to
devolve upon the public treasury,
the said officers shall restrict the
expenditures to the scale of fu-
neral expenses of private citizens
in limited circumstances.
He has introduced bill provid-
ing that the Government shall ac-
cept the Hermitage, Andrew
Jackson's old place, as donation
and turn it into a branch home for
disabled veterans. The bill pro-
vides that all honOrably discharg-
ed soldiers or sailors who served
in the regular and volunteer
forces Of the United States in any
of it's wars, and all honorably dis,
charged or paroled soldiers and
sailors who served in the army
and navy of the late sO-called Con-
federate States, shall be entitled
to be admitted to the home under
the usual provision of the other
branch homes for soldiers. The
bill appropriates $4,000, and
names Gen. Wilder, of Chattanoo,
ga, a Union officer, to have charge
of the Home for five years from
the date of its establishment.
He has pending a bill to cut
down the franking privilege to
thirty days after a members term
expires, and to cut off documents
and reports and other publication
as soon as members service
ends. The bill further stipulates
that all printed matter to the
retiring members credit shall 60
to his successor.
Another ole of his bills pro.
poses to drop from the pension
rolls those pensioners who have
transferred their allegiance to
other governments. Mr.. Enloe
makes the statement that the
Government is paying 100000
annually in pensions to persons
living in foreign countries, which
would be saved by his PROPOSE
ton.

Congressman Enloe's effort to
have eliminated from the Con-
gressional Record everything ex-
cept the actual proceedings OF
Congress, is commendable. The
Record is overloaded with
speeches and other matter that is
not a part of the proceedings of
that body.

Quill toothpicks come from
France. The largest factory in
the world is near Paris, where
there is an annual product of
2O,OOO,OOO quilts. The factory was
started to make quill pens, but
when these went out of use it was
turned into a toothpick mill.
Wooden toothpicks are made
principally in Michigan, Wiscon-
sin, Indiana, and Ohio.
