On the other side was the handsome and

ranged from Tom Moore's poetry to Joe Mil

was that the Democrats would practice what
was wrong while they knew what was right.

school. The last year the income tax in

Congressional Proceedings in Brief.

WASHINGTON, April 2.-The whole day
yesterday was occupied in the senate by a
rehash in detail of the Indian appropria-
tion bill substantially adopted, the amend
ments suggested being chiefly in the ma
ture of increased appropriations for In
dians in particular states
In the house the most interesting feature
was the defeat of the rules committee in
an effort to have the investigation of the
census bureau given to a special commit
tee. Wilcox, chairman of the census COM
mittee, thought his committee should do
the work, and so did the house. The free
wool bill was discussed until recesJ and at
a night session the time was consumed in
trying to get quorum and no business
was done

WASHINGTON. April 2.-When the discus

senate yesterday there was an amusing epi-
sode at the expense of George, who on a pre-
vious occasion had informed the senate that
he knew very little personally about finance
or figures. George remarked that the ap
preparation for the education of the Indian
children carried by the bill amounted to
&, ,291, 900. He asked of Dawes how many
Indian children there were of the school
age Dawes replied about $4,000. George
said then the appropriation of for their ed
ucation amounted to nearly 81 900 head.
He Got Some Information.

ter that If the number of Indian children
were 5000 instead of 10000 the appropria-
