CLERKS FOR ooNGRassMEN.

How the Bill on the Subject Was
Pushed Through the House.
WASHINGTON, March 10. - Representa-
tives-elect to the next House, especially
those who have been members Of congress
before, are highly gratifed at the fact that
members Of the Hc@se have at last got
private secretaries like the senators. For
year they have wanted them but a large
majority of the House has always been too
timid to vote them The only way in which
the necessary legislation was gotten through
at last session was by obtaining the sigma
lures Of a large majority Of the House TO
pledge to vote for Ii re-
gardless of consequence Backed by this
pledge a few determined men pressedlit
through on the last day Of the session. To
be sure the private secretaries OF the mem
bers are not to have annual salaries like the
private secretaries of the senator's, each
member being allowed not more than SlOOa
month during the actual session Of congress
for clerk hire and is required to make re-
turn Of how much he eXpends But this Is
better than paying II all out of his own
pocket.
