no man has greater respect for the sem
ate as body than myself, for almost
every member of the august assemblage
is my friend; but as individuals they are
human and prone to human frailties.
The senate, in executive session, has Of
late been trying to shift it's sins upon
other shoulders, and therein lies fault
too grave to forgive, too fragrant to de-
serve the charity of silence. The sem
ate has excluded from its executive ses-
sions a number of employees who have
for many years been faithful and hon.
orable servants, thereby casting upon
them the stigma of suspicion. But
worse still, resolution was introduced
for the removal Of the executive clerk,
James r. Young. That was an outrage,
an objectionable sin.
James R. Young never gave away any
secrets of executive sessions. He is in
capable of dishonorable act. The
secrets Of the senators belong to them
selves, and Mr.. Young has always held
them inviolate. But the senators them
selves have betrayed their own secrets,
from time to time, and they will always
do so. Many a small man has been re-
elected to the senate because the news
papers men have induced the dear peo-
pie to believe that he was both good
and great. 1t is a very slight return
favor for senator to tell correspond
ent a valued item of forbidden news.
Every senator is under more or less OBJ
legations to his friends of the press.
James r. Young is newspaper man
himself, and is under no obligations to
his friends in the press gallery. There
is no reason why he should betray a
secret of the senate, and every reason
why he should not. He is gentleman
and his associates are gentlemen. There
is not reputable newspaper man in
Washington who would dare to even
dream of asking Mr.. Young single ques-
ton concerning executive sessions. More
over, there is no necessity for so doing.
It is easier and more natural to have a
senator come to my office or to my home
and tell me the story of the day; and
every newspaper man has had the same
experience.
The idea of these senators undertake
ing to make scapegoat of man who
is more honorable than many members
of their body would be ludicrous if it
were not so censurable and reprehensi-
BILE. Why, they even turned old Father
Bassett out of the senate one day during
executive session, as though he would
give away their secrets. That was even
more shameful than their other efforts

Especial Washington letter.

Some of the singular circumstances
and environments of the news-gather-
ing profession are worthy of record in
the papers of our day.
A few weeks ago wrote you letter
about executive sessions of the senate,
telling you how the potent, grave and
reverend seignors of the senate try to
keep their proceedings secret, and how
they are published in detail by the daily
papers. In the past it has been fun to
the correspondents to witness the antics
of these solemn solons in their pre-
tended efforts to ascertain the source or
sources whence the newspapers procure
their information. Recently, however,
the matter has become serious.
The senators have been acting in a
manner most reprehensible. Probably

GERMAN SOCIALISM.
Origin and Growth of This Powerful
Movement.

origin ana GfOWtn OF TINS iOWorKuh
Movement. .,
German socialism dates back to 1S40
with the accession of the romantic
Frederick William w to the throne
The social democracy owes It's strength
to the labors of Marx, although Lasalle !
was the originator 81 the idea. In lse4''
there were only 4,6l0 socialists. I'm 1871
they cast in Berlin $685. votes; in 1873,
57,511. In 1854, in the elections TO the
Reichstag; the socialists 'polled 900, 900
votes and returned twenty four mein-
bers.
Bismarck originated his apti-socialist
legislation in 1878. The progress of
socialstic ideas, not only among the
masses, but through the universities,
had become very. marked, and the Iron
Chancellor professed to Be greatly
alarmed as to the outcome of the move
ment. When in that year Hoedel and
Modelling made an attempt to take the
life of the aged emperor the govern
ment made it the excuse for legislation.
At first the law was directed only
against the propaganda of socialism,
and under it more than fifty newspa-
pers were seized. But the law was
gradually extended until the expression
of socialistic opinions, the holding of
meetings or the oral discussion of mat
tiers pertaining to it either in private or
public, were prohibited In short, about
the only political right and possession
that were not taken from the socialist
was his vote These laws, however,
were not permanent, but had to be re-
newcd from session To session. In 1890
Bismarck conceived the plan of making
them permanent, and to give the police
administration the power TO cxpel so
cialist from the empire at its pleasure.
Surprisingly, though the government
was largely in the ascendency in the
Reichstag, the bill was overwhelmingly
defeated and Bismarck received his first
crushing blow. The decision of the
Reichstag was reaffirmed by the coun-
try. and Bismarck's anti-socialist law,
instead of becoming part of the per-
manent law of the country, was al
lowed, with the consent of Emperor
William, to expire.
In 1871 there were 1866 dwellings in
Berlin that contained no room that
could be heated; 40, s32 lived under
ground in cellar dwellings; 95, 423 peo-
pie had only one room that could be
heated. In the poorer districts there
were 70 removals to 100 dwellings. The
great increase since then in the manu-
featuring element has swollen this pro-
portion. Boston Journal.

A Mediosted Stump Speech.

about local political affairs, and vouches
for the correctness of the following &C.
count from the Peoples Paper Of M. Fl.
Simpsons meeting In Stafford. This Is
one Of the meetings that have been re-
ferred to 80 often by the other side as "a
grand success" But It required the
assistance Of street doctor and his band
to get crowd.
"As the curtains Of evening dropped
Monday night, the usual crowd assembled
around the stand of the medicine man, to
listen to the songs and hear the fun.
The last shout of the agent, Gentleman
here takes "a box, had not died away when
the doctor announced that Mr.. NJ. H.
Simpson, of Mcpherson, would use the
platform and deliver lecture on the po-
lltical Issues Of the day, after which the
troupe would play the afterpiece. The
band then came in and played couple
Of selections, after which Mr.. Simpson
was introduced by DR.. AkerS.
"He began very appropriately by
thanking the doctor for the use Of the
platform, and for putting the peoples
stomachs In good condition before the
speech. This remark was timely, indeed;
Tor without the doctor and his medicine,
the struggle of the strongest stomach
would have been unable to retain the
mess imposed upon it.
"When the 'taffy' came about the In
tegrity and morals OF politics and politl-
clans, the undaunted bravery and
invlnclble courage, the unfllnching 10y
atty and incompatible enterprise of the
people Of Kansas, tho audience began to
grow pale around the eyes; but when
the announcement came that Kansas
was the Garden Of Eden and we Its
bllssful and undefiled tenants, the audi
ence became so sick it shrleked. Great
gobs of fragrant republiCanism could be
seen on the listeners, standing about the
corners of the mouth valnly entreatlng
admission. The taffy was 80 overAsvored
that not even the Golden Herb Cure
could prevent It from acting as an emetic.
Slight relief came with the assertion,
which bore something more of truth,
that the agriculture of the United States
Is in depressed condition, although 1t
Is a difficult matter for ordinary minds to
comprehend how the agriculture Of the
Garden of Eden could get into such q
fix.
"By this time the shouts of the small
boys and the buzz Of conversation grew
so strong in the crowd that the speaker
concluded to wander off on the tariff.
He then ran up and slapped the finance
question, quickly retrested to the tariff
and there pounded around for half an
hour after the people had refused to
listen. Small BOYS and some of larger
trousers, eager for niger fun, tried to
cheer him down. After q continuation
-of this for sometime he ran down; the
doctor came out and assured the people
that he would have had the sfterplece
first if he had known how long the lee
ture would be. After q very lsughsble
comedy by the doctors troupe, the people
dispersed. We presume to-morrow's
