. WASHINGTON, April 27.-It will be
Interesting to see what will be the out
come of the conference of the appro-
priation committee of the house and the
congressman who want appropriations
for irrigation. 1t is hardly to be sup
posed that Mr.. Holman will allow
the idea to proceed without a pro-
test, at least. Economy with
the distinguished gentleman from
Indiana has really become mania. If
ever a man believed in making the
country worry along on the bare neceS-
sites of life he is the man. And nobody
from Dan to Beersheba can make him
change his mind when that mind is
made up. The dear public call him I'M
complimentary nicknames as it is, but
what they would say if he had his own
way is beyond Imagination. He'd be
great deal more economical than he is II
he could run things, which, thank fort
une, he can't. Yesterday, in commit.
tee room, he blazed out suddenly, and
about it he wouldn't have single ele
vator in any public building in the land.

Sans Lariats.
1t is constant source of surprise to
the man from Boston who condeScendS
now and then to come to washington,
and even to sit in congress, that our
Northwestern men don't tuck their
trowserS inside their boots and carry
larats. AS a matter of fact, our North
western men are the best looking and
best hammered set of men in Wash
are not at all careful of the
arrangement of their hair, and are prone
to appear in rusty Prince AlbertS. The
men from the East are monotonouS and
narrow, Dut when you see bright-eyed,
trim, energetic man, with the breeZineSS
of the prairie in his ideas, you may
wager your last available cent that he's
from the Northwest. There's not a man
in the senate who is more the ariSt0crat
in appearance and manner than Sena-
tor Casey, of North Dakota. He is quite
as unapproachable and distant as the
very head of the caste OF We're de we're.
His colleague, Senator HansbrOugh. has
a pair of brown eyes, that sparkle wit II
the reflected sunlight of ten Dakota
summers. He is always very we'll

stiffness and formaIity.
( The Minnesota Trio.
} The three Minnesota congressman
who sit in a row are a trio of repreSen-
tatives any state might be proud of.
They dress well, they fswel hammered,
, and when they speak. they speak well.
Mr.. Castle is everybodYss friend; and his
own especial best friend and constant
cOmrade is his daug hter, Miss Viva.
There's scarcely a day but the two may
be seen luuching together i'll the house
restaurant. Mr.. Hall is looking better
just now than he has looked for some
time, and is working quite as if industry
in congress hadn't gone out OF style
years ago. Mr.. HarrieS' white head
completes the group. Mr.. Lind, since
his interview with Gov. Merriam, has
beemSilent and thoughtful. He is going
to take his family back to Minnesota
Saturday. There is rumor to
the effect that Minnesota has
another epresentative-One Kittel Hal
vorson by name. His existence is
doubted by some. but now and again
there comes one to sit at the desk which
is designated as his. He is said to wear
side whiSkers and occasionally to vote,
but for the most part he exhibits his
genius by golden silence.
Speaking of Re-electiOn.
talk to you frankly OF their hopes of re-
election. They completely ignore the
existence of ferceS, and when they go
home its always on important official
business in no way connected with poll
tics. Even Senator Davis is going home
to look after real estate. Congressman
jolly. of South Dakota is Surpris-
ing man. He frankly says he doesn't
expect a reelection. He'd like 1t,
but he says he was elected this time
only by mistake, and has no business to
be in congress. And, furthermore, he
says there'll be political time III his
state this fall that will make Tophet
seem an arctic suburb by comparison.
The Independents are daily growing in
strength. and it is not unlikely that

Tams Bixby about.
Tams BiXby was yesterday being in
trodueed about the house by Congress-
man Castle. And do you know the title
he was given? He smiled all over, too,
every time he heard it. Mr.. Castle in
dicated him ever and anon with grace
full wave of his hand, and said, ''This is
Tams Bixby, Gov. Merriam's private
secretary and general manager"
