The Two Horns of the Dilemma.

count of this Hawaiian business until we
know just what we are kicking about.
1t is not at all likely that the President
and his Cabinet are to do any very fool

wait until they do before working one's
self into fever.-Sunday Times.
To the Editor of the Press:
If the Times will read the last clause
of Secretary Gresham's letter to the
President, he will see, I think, that if
the Secretary was honest in his express
sions, there is enough mischief contained
in it to make people over-heated and ere

mean it, he is demagogue of the first

Not Worth a Straw.

When one says Of anything that it is
esnot worth straw" one means to imply
that it is worthless, for what can be the
value of straw? The older saying was
"not worth rush." and this brings out
the origin OF the phrase better. In the
days before carpets it was the custom to
strew the floor with rushes. When guests
of. rank were entertained, rushes, green,
fresh and sweet, were spread for them,
but folk Of lower degree had to be content
with rushes that had already been used,
while still humber persons had to do
without any, as not even being 'worth a
rush. Exchange.

more than twice the amount of inter.
est on the money that it would take
to build suitable and safe buildings,
which the government should own ;
that he had always been persistently
in favor of appropriating the money
for such buildings. He said that,
while Holman, of Indiana, chairman
Of the committee on appropriations,
and Dockery, of Missouri, chairman
of the subcommittee of the District
Of Columbia, should be censured for
their views on retrenchment and mg-
gardly policy in regard to needed ap-
preparations, that they were not
wholly to blame; that there were
quite a number of members with
equally false ideas. But upon the
whole there was no excuse for con-
gress and it should receive the blame
which it richly deserves.
The disaster has caused gloom in
nearly every state in the union. The
Washington people are incensed, and
their feelings are fOrcibly expressed
in the following special to the Kansas
City Journal:
There Is an intense feeling against
'Holmanism, which'is locked upon
as directly responsible for the Ford
theatre disaster. 1t is readily recall
ed that during the last session Of con-
gress an engineers report showed that
there was danger of the floors of the
building collapsing. owing to the i'm
mence weight of the records; that the
floors could not stand this weight, but
if the weight was removed, the build
could be used for clerk work. The

classes, are known to every Sedallan.

thorough business man.
The general manager, Mr..

for the past ten years manager of
Walmsley's carpet department, and
has made for himself reputation

"HOLMANISM"
Hon. John T. Heard on FRIDAYS
Disaster.
COURT OF INQUIRY.

The collapse Of the old Ford theatre
at Washington and the murder OF
more than a score Of government
clerks was the principal topic Of con,
versatiOn on the streets and in the
hotel corridors yesterday. You could
find a hundred men who knew all
about who was to blame and were
anxious to lock the stable door after
the horse had been stolen. The, 81
told you SOS" were decidedly in the
majority. The BAzoO was commend
ed on all sides for its enterprise in
publishing first, such a full account OF
the sad affair.
Yesterday afternoon a BAzOO re-
porter called on Congressman John T..
Heard, a. his residence, SOP West
Broadway, to hear what he would say
about the catastrophe.
Mr.. Heard was found lndispOsed
from a slight injury received whileOut
riding a few days ago, but received
the reporter with his usual urbanity,
and expressed himself as perfectly will
ling to put himself on record and in
print about the matter. He said
the rent of old unsuitable and unsafe
buildings in Washington for the use
of government clerks, and different
amounted TO, from 115,
to 125 thousand dollars per year.
The Sedalia weekly bazoo. [volume] (Sedalia, Mo.) 187?-1904, 1893-06-13

was reported as nominal and it would
be used for storing the records and re-
lieve the Ford building. This matter
was presented to the subcommittee on
appropriations and it was decided to
recommend that the sum required to
get building for the records be al
lowed. Nothing more was thought Of
the matter until Holman made a
fight on the pittance, in the face Of
the report of the engineer, on the
floor IF the house, and the item was
struck out.
Had it not been for Holman the
records would have been removed ere
this, and. according to the report Of
the engineer, there would be no
danger if the floors were relieved of
their weight.
There is frequent reference to this
fact to-day, and one of the assistant
secretaries, who has recently been APP
pointed, stated that Holmanshould be
burned in efiigy in state in the Union
as every state Is represented in the
death pit. This came from high
official and the thousands talked in
even stronger tones. Holman is in
the city. but as tar as observed he did
not visit the terrible scene. Ifhe had
he would certainly have heard some
unpleasant things about himself, if,
indeed, no more"
