Kind Words for Senator SpooneE

Washington Post: There is no
man in the history of this honorable
body who has more worthily signal
lied himself during the first term
of his service than Wisconsln's
junior senator, and none to-day who
has firnner hold upon the respect
and confidence of his brother sena-
tors, without regard to party. Mr..
Spooner's course. has been marked
by great industry, efficiency and
legislative ability. Faithful alike
to the interests Of his state and
country, true to the principles OF
his party, and anremitting in his
efforts to serve every cause which
enlists his conscientious approval,
he has developed the qualities of
true craftsmanship, and it is no
flattery to say has made himself a
model senator.
The reelection of Mr.. Spooner to
the senate would not only be an
honor to the state and highly
merited compliment in itself, but
the Post is assured eminently salts
factory to the country at large, and
the thing of all others most crafty
ing to his associates of the senate
chamber-altogether, happy out
come of the victory that awaits the
republicans of Wisconsin in No
vember.

His Way of Putting 1t.

II paid bill the other day" said a
larwe manufacturer to me, without a
murnur. simply because Of the way IL
was worded. My engineer found ms
hot water pump would not work and
after puttering at it for an hour, sent
for a machinist. He bothered with IL
half day and concluded it must come
apart. was much annoyed, for tnat
meant a stoppage of my factory Tor
long time. Before l gave the order 10
take it to pieces some one suggested
that neighboring engineer be sent
for, as he was a sort of genius IN the
matter of machinery. He came, ana
after studying the pump awhile ne
took hammer and gave three snatH
raps over the valve. Il reckon she a
60 now he quietly said, and, putting
on steam, she did go. The next day
l received bill from him for sZo,oU;,
The price amazed me, but when | hau
examined the items drew a check al
once. The bill read this way: 'Mes5rS.
Blank & Co., DR.. to John Smith. for
fixing pump. so cents. For knowing
how. S25.' Had he charged me s2o'oo
for fixing the pump | should have con-
sidered it exorbitant. But 90 cents

Representative Enloe, the cheek.
lest democrat in the House, for the
ninety-ninth time made an ass of
himself, when Speaker Reed refused
to recognize him by shouting: 81
want you to understand, Mr..
Speaker, that when you returned
from Maine was at the head of the
democratic side" "The Chair was
not aware" replied the Speaker,
"that the democratic side had any
head; it is gratified to be at least
informed Of the fact" Then every
body laughed except poor Enloe.
Following are the gentlemen
forming the conference committee,
now engaged in considering the
Mckinley tariff bill: House-Mc-
Kinley, Burrows, Dingley, Bayne
(Repuhlicans), Mills, Mcmillan and
Flower (Democrats). Senate-Ald-
rich, Hiscock, Sherman, Allison
(Republicans), Vance, Carlisle and
voorhees, (Democrats). The i'm
preston is that the committee will
be ready to report early next week,
and that the bill will not be radically
changed in anv respect from what
it was when passed by the Senate.
The Treasury department did not
get stampeded by the democratic
attempt to unsettle the business of
the country by yelling "panic," but
went right along in the sensible
course mapped out by Secretary
Window, and the result is that even
the men most active in promoting
the scare are compelled to admit
that the danger, if there ever was
any, is now passed.
The question of an extra session
is again at the front, and it is well
nigh certain that there will be one
but it .is not yet certain whether it
will be brought about by Congress
taking a recess as soon as the tariff
bill Is finally disposed of, or be
called 10y proclamation of the Presi
dent. 1t is conceded by most of
the republican leaders to be abso-
lutely necessary owing to the num-
Der of important measures that are
expected to be Enacted upon when
the session shall adjourn.

MONTANA, OREGON AND WASHINGTON

The Northern Pacific X. r. passing through
Minnesota, Dakota, Montana, Idaho, Oregon
and Washington was the first line to bring the
region occupied by these states into communi-
cation with the east Its main line and branch
es penetrate all sections of these states, reach
ing ninetenths of the chief cities. 1t is the
short line to Helena and Butte, Mont, Spokane
Falls, Tacoma and Seattle, WASH, and Port
land. Ore, and the only line running through
train service from the east through the states
of Montana and Washington. Pullman Sleep
ers ana furnished tourist sleeping cars are run
via the Wisconsin Central and Northern Pacific,
and Pullman palace sleeping cars via Chicago.
Milwaukee & st. Paul and Northern Pacific,
from Chicago through to the Pacific Coast with
out change. This is the Dining Car and Yellow
stone Park route. The large travel on the
Northern Pacific line necessitated the inaugu-
ration in June, 1890, of second through train
to the Pacific Coast, thus enabling this road to
offer the public the advantage of two through
trains daily to Montana and points in the
Pacific Northwest, carrying complete service
of sleeping cars, dining cars and regular day
coaches. The train leaving st. Paul in the
morning runs via the recently completed air
line of the Northern Pacific through Butte,
Montana, making this the shortest line to the
latter point by 100 miles.
Colonists for Washington, Oregon and British
Columbia points should take no other line than
the Northern Pacific, as by this line only can
all portions of the state of Washington be
seen. Stop-overs are allowed on second elias,
tickets at Spokane Falls and all points west,
enabling settlers to inspect the country with
out extra expense.

phlets, or any special information desired, ad-

Our democratic friends are not
talking so much about contesting
Speaker Reeds seat in the Fifty
second Congress as they were some
time ago. Something dropped, and
they seemed to have heard it.

The democrats may combine with
New York importers and spectators
as often as they please, but as long
as the republican party furnishes
the brains at the head of the treas
ury department there will be no
financial panic started on such a
flimsy excuse.
What think you of political
party that is willing to take the
chances of soaring the country into
none y panic for the purpose of
trying to obtain control of the
House of Representatives.? That's
what the democrats have been doing
of late.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our regular correspondent.

The republicans OF the House,
owing to the lack of quorum of
their own members, are practically
in the power of the democrats, as
far as any additional legislation
which does not meet their approval f,
is concerned. In spite of the efforts
mad to get the republicans here this
week there has not been at any
time within twenty-five of quorum
present on the floor of the House,
and the democrats are openly boast
ing that the House can do nothing
else at this session without their
consent. The circumstances sur
rounding the cases of most of the
absent republicans, are such that it
hardly seems fair to harshly criti-
cize them, and yet it is believed that
the republican party at large is
losing much more by their being
away from here than it can possibly
gain by the work they are doing in
their respective districts. Without
them it will be impossible to pass
Representative Bootman's joint res
olution invalidating the recent ger
rymander of Ohio, on account of
certain territory being left out, and
the democrats will have the power,
if 80 disposed, to prevent the House
acting upon the report of the con-
ference committee on the Mckinley
bill when it is made, and there are
other important matters, including
the contested election cases, that
might be acted upon with quorum
of republicans present. 1t is only
fair to say that the managers expect
quorum this week.
The House has decided that the
Objectionable portions of the speech
recently made by Representative
Kennedy, of Ohio, shall be expunged
from the Record
Speaker Reed has signed the
River and Harbor bill, which was
on his table for about week.
The Raum investigation was for
mally closed Wednesday, and a
report is expected from the COM
mittee at once.
The Senate has passed the bill re-
pealing the Timber Cultivation act,
and has agreed to the conference
report on the Railroad land grant
forfeiture bill.
There is lots of scandal flying
around in connection with the efforts
of the lottery lobbyists to delay the
adoption of the anti-lottery bill,
which was passed Tuesday after
noon by the Senate, without a dis
senting vote. 1t is said that one
prominent Senator was offered $685.
900 in cash if he would manage in
some way to get the bill delayed,
and another $4,000 for the same
purpose. 1t is also said thai Senator
Evarts and ex-President Cleveland
have been offered retainer of
S250,000 if they will become coun-
sci to the lottery company in order
to have the Supreme Court pass
upon the constitutionality of the
new law. If these gentlemen ac-
cept the retainer they are expected
to get out an injunction restraining
the Postmaster General from putting
the law into effect until the Supreme
Court renders decision. The lot.
terry would willingly pay s25o,ooO
for one years unrestricted use of
the mails, and ii would probably
take longer than that to get ease
through the Supreme Court.

UNDER what Democrats call "the
robber tariff" mechanics now earn
more than double the wages they
did in iree-trade times, and farmers
are receiving a like increase for
their products, while nearly every
thing can be bought at half former
prices. The chief trouble with the
Bourbons is that they can't stand
prosperity.
