Now, Bob, you must excuse this
poor letter, for I am only used to
writing business letters and short
ones then ; am a very poor news
gatherer. Your paper is read eager
ly by all the family as soon as it
arrives. / would love to be with
you all, and in case we do not
move back to Missouri I will come
either this fall or next spring on
a visit. I do not think city or
country property is near as cheap
as it will be later, so you will see
I do not think this a good place to
invest with safety now. But little
chance for spectators. The eli
mate will have a tendency to make
people with means that live in the
very cold countries come here.
You can have a place here in one
year as beautiful as in Missouri in
five years. All kinds of trees and
shrubs and flowers, when planted,
grow and bloom right along and
never know they are moved.
My best wishes to all my Mis-
souri, friends.
Your old friend,
J. M. MENEFEE.

DERELICT C-oNGREssMEN.

One day last week the vote in
the House of Representatives at
Washington Was 1853 yeas, 8 nays.
No less than 100 members were an
nounced as absent and paired,
and there were about sixty more
absent without pairs. Every day
now the House finds itself, at some
stage of the proceedings, without a
quorum. For several hours in one
afternoon the members pres
ent waited in the hall while the
Sergeant -at-Arms was trying to
bring in enough absentees to make
up the quorum, but they finally
adjourned without one.
This state of things is not credit
able to the members of the House.
They were elected to serve their
constituents and the country gener-
ally as members of the Congress.
If they knew they would not have
time to attend to the public bust.

Every Congress the first session
runs into August or September
and there was no reason to expec
of this an adjournment in July. TX
be sure, it is hot in Washington
but members knew that before
hand and it is probably no hottie,

There are some very importan
bills ON which action is needed
now by the House. AS fas
as the Senate gets through will

posed IN the other branch, some 0
which are very important.
1t is hard work to be a Congress
man if a man attends conscientious
ly to his duties ; but that is no ex
cuse for Sinking. The countr.
expects her legislators to do thei
duty. Perhaps thirty or forty Q

The "original package bill" is
being warmly debated in Congress.
A late Washington special to the
Republic says: "Some of the warm
est supporters OF the Wilson bill or
the substitute therefor, offered by
the House Committee on Judicial
ry, are the most pronounced eppo-
nents of prohibition, but these gen.
tlemen declare that the centraliz-
ing opinions and decisions of the

should uplift its voice in favor OF

that our protected manufacturers

expectation of slss.675.W to ex-
change abroad for foreign farm pro-
duos makes the country that much

Of good men, in the union and out

enough to want somebody else to

the power we possess, by unit of

IT begins to appear as though
even New Mexico might soon be
admitted to the rank of Statehood.
The Territorial delegation at Wash
ington makes it out that the Re-
publicans there have controlled
the Legislature for eighteen years.
No further argument is needed.
The Republican politicians who
pose at Washington as statesmen
will consider that such a record
abundantly qualities the Territory
