SOMETHING OF THE FUTURE

NWAhAAAAANA VIZ AAAAA "A"NNNff
Mrs. Annie L. Diggs, associate ed
itor Of THE ADVOCATE, goes TO Wash
ington this week, where she will re-
main for the purpose Of giving our
readers a view Of public events trans
piring at the seat Of government,
from the standpoint of an indepen-
dent observer. There is a certain
mOnotony about the usual Washing
ton correspondence that we believe
will admit of very happy variation,
and those who have met Mrs. Diggs
and heard her speak, or have been at
all familiar with her writings in THE
ADVOCATE and elsewhere in the past,
will not doubt her ability to present
a picture Of social life at the capital,
and a record Of public events that
will be of intense interest to the peo-
pie at this time.
At no time in the history Of this ma
tion have the masses Of Che people
given closer attention to the proceed
ings Of Congress and the public bust
ness Of the government than they are
now doing. AT no time has il been nee
essary that the people should watch
their public servants closer than now.
Subsidy schemes, Nicaragua bond
schemes, and fraudulent schemes Of
every conceivable character, are at
tempted to be pushed through Con
gress, and the influence Of the money
power is manifest in all the govern
ment departments. We expect to be
able to give some information Of these
affairs from behind scenes which will
be Of great interest end importance
to the people. The letters Of Mrs.
Diggs from the national capital will
constitute an interesting feature Of
THE ADVOCATE in the future.
