the other day, and resolved that the
Fifty-third congress should let them
alone; the MCKINLEY bill was all that
saved them from ruin, and its repeal
would destroy their business. They
urged the coming congress not to do
anything rash. These gentlemen have
been accustomed to meet annually, dis
cuss the wool and wooden situation; re-
solve that they were not getting enough
profit on some line or another which
had found a weak point in the tariff wall,
as in the case of WorStedS; send dele

protectionist ways and means commit
tee what they wanted; get it without
questioning, and go back to their busl-
ness thanking their stars that they were
born to be students OF markets not
maXimS."
No wonder they look with dismay on
the change wrought last November.
They must. if it can not be minimized
or defeated. adapt their business to con-
ditions once familiar to them, but grown
strange with diSuse. They must az
range for the introduction Of another
factor in all their calculations Of price

on nearly equal teams, not as equal as
he should, but as nearly so as pres

he will do must be taken into
account when they would decide
what they will do; what will
be his prices ? They will not much

disregard of the gentleman just outside

very much to the relief of the people
who have to buy and wear woolens.
They will get their shoddy, if it is that
they want or can only buy, cheaper
than now, or they will get woolens for
the same money for which they no W
get shoddy. If the gentlemen of the
Fifty-third congress do not do some
thing with the wool schedule which the
wool manufacturers association will
call rash, they may expect to have all
account to settle with their constituents
when they get home.

SOCIAL WASn4NGTON.
The Capital Experiences Two Dis
tinCt Sensations.

WASHINGTON, Jan. Washington
experienced two sensations in the week
just closed. The one was negative, so
to speak; the other positive. Prince
1senberg made his appearance and
there was no rush after him. This was
the first, whether it was due to the jeal-
ousy of Washington for things Balti-
mercantile prince has been spending
some time in that nearby city, and was
introduced TO Washington by Baltimore
viStorS-or some other occult cause, the
fact remains that Washington has so
far declined to make real live prince

surely. The other was Miss Anne Vir-
ginia Culbertson, of GAINESVILLE, o.,
whose exploits are confined to the liter
airy world Of the capital. Her wonder
full interpretations of some Of her OWN
Southern and Western dialect stories

interior that Mrs. Wanamaker might

Secretary of State and Mrs. Foster
will be given round of dinners within
the next few days by members of the
diplomatic corps previous to their de-
parture for Paris, where Mr.. Foster will
have charge of the case Of the United
States in the Behring sea arbitration.
The first Of these was one Friday night
last, when the Japanese minister and
Mrs. Tatan entertained party of
dozen in their honor. Secretary Foster
expects to resign his portfolio the last
week III this month, and after short
visit to New York state. sail with Mrs.
Foster for Paris, which they Will reacn

THE RULE OF BoGGs.

Mr.. BoGGS represents Duluth inthe
lower house. Perhaps more accurate
statement is that he was elected by the
voters of Duluth to sit in the lower
house. 1t is always an open question
how far men represent the communities
which send them. The county of st.
Louis had a special act passed years ago
putting sundry officers on salary in
stead of the fee system. The fees above
the salary went into the treasury. The
gain to the treasury was conSiderable,as
the fees amount to some $4,000 an
nually. Mr.. BOGGs rises in the house
and asks to have the rules suspended
and purely local bill given its neces-
sary readings and be passed. As 1T IS
local, the courtesy of the house requires
that no objection be made to such re-
quests, and Mr.. BoGGs' bill went
through. 1t repealed the special act
relating to the compensation Of the
county officers. Its effect is to give
them the fees i'll place of the salary.
Report has it that the act created con-
siderable excitement in Duluth. There
is no doubt Of that.
The GLOBE refers to this not from
any wish to adversely criticise what
Mi. BoGGs did. That can be left to his
constituents. But we instance it as as
good an Illustration of how we stand
the pyramid of government on its, apex;
how we reverse and ignore the true
democratic idea OF government III this
democracy of ours, Here is county
having several servants to employ to
attend to its various affairs. Ii we had
democratic form of government, the
county by its representative head would
engage men to do the work and
agree with them what compensation
they should get. 1t is purely the affair
of the locality. 1t is their own work
they want done, and they alone must
pay for it. But they cannot do it. Evil
IDENTIFY they are incapable Of manag-
ing their own affairs, for the state will
not permit them to. They can only do
what ii allows; in its mandates every
subordinate division must find the let
tiers which justify any and all action. A
very learned judge decided Oh ce that a
city could not build an auditor ium be-
cause that word was not among those
used to describe the bu ildings it might
construct.
But, and here the theory of state SOW
ereignty becomes absurd in practice,
the state does not act at all except pro
forma. The speaker and the president
of the senate and the governor W III sign
the act. and thus it appears to be the act
of the state ana the dignity of the theory
is sustained; but, really, it is the act OF
Mr.. BoGGs. He is the state, by courtesy.
What several thousand men are incapa-
bic of doing for them selves. Mr.. BoGGs,
by election, is capable OF doing wisely for
them. Can anything be more abSurdly
ridiculous? And is there any real need
of continuing the abSurdity any longer?
The recent amendment opens the way
to the passage Of general laws which
will remit to the communities the man
agement Of their own affairs. and it
should be done extensively.

Social Washington Has Two
Distinct Sensations the
Same Week.
A Cure for "Lumpy Jaw"
Dissolve red in Iodide OF
Potassium.

WASHINGTON, Jan. l5.-The week
promises to be eventful in the senate.
Save the passage Of the quarantine
bill, the senate has accomplished very
little, and not one of the annual appro-
priation bills has been passed. The
committee on order of business has de-
termined that something must be done
to advance the public business. 1t was
at the suggestion of Mr.. Sherman,
chairman of that committee, that Mr..
Washburn gave notice that he would
ask the senate to sit next Wednesday
until the anti-optionS bill is disposed of.
That this can be done without
bitter struggle is not expected.
What will follow the anti OPP
ton bill Will be decided by the com
mittee on order Of business before
Wednesday. At present the opinions
are that priority will lie between some
OF the Interstate commerce bills Gf SEN
ator Cullom is able to resume his du-
tieS); the Nicaragua canal bill and per-
haps resolution to repeal the silver
purchase act. Mr.. PETER, of Kan sas, is
down for speech on the limitation of
the presidential term. and Mr.. Morrill,,
OF Vermont, on the McGarrahan bill,
both for tomorrow. The majority have
mapped out a big programme for the
house. Tomorrow is pension day. Eff
forts will be made to pass the Raum
pension office report and the bill for the
Election of Senators
by the people by two-thirds vote. The
majority of the rules cOpmittee has de-
clded to allOt Tuesday ITO bills coming
from the Judiciary committee; Wednes-
day to the immigration bill; Thursday
and Saturday to bills originating with
the committee OH foreign and interstate
commerce. Friday. under the regular
rules, is private bill day. There is some
opposition to the immigration bill, and
1T is hardly likely that one day will suf-
flee for its passage. The friends of the
quarantine bill reported by the commit
tee on foreign and interstate commerce,
which bill, it is contended. meets all the
evils as to cholera which the immigra-
ton bill was designed to remedy, are
opposed to the immigration bill.
AHO qual duIillO UlIl WAS dHtdSON-
lied very strongly by the state
quarantine officers of New YORK, but at
least part OF this opposition was with
drawn. There is a probability of some
trouble for each Of these bills from the
opposition of members who favor the
other of the two measures. The COM
merce committee has formidable list
OF measures which 1t hopes to pass
headed by the omnibus. light house bill
and the bill for the erection of a couple
of additional revenue cutters. The COM
mittee is also anxious to pass two bills
amendatory of the interstate commerce
act. which will be reported to the house
during the week by Chairman Wise, of
Virginia, to meet the counselman case
and the Gresham decision and to allow
railroad pooling under the contest Of
the interstate commerce. commission.

eminent. Private enterprise is to
be done away with, except as
man laborS diligently for his
master, the state, which is to be the
universal employer The Panama
scandal gives this Utopian plan what
is metaphorically alluded to as very
black eye. The French government
lent its aid to this private enterprise,
and the result is dishonesty, bribery
and thievery on such a gigantic scale
that the very fabric of the French re-
public seems crumbiing and rotting
under It's load of corruption. The les
son is one which all nations would do
well TO take to heart. 1t is not the
proper function of a government to
invest in private enterprises. In
all such deals the state gets
the worst of the bargain. Our Pacific
railroads are a case in point. When the
state embarks in business ventures
there are always sharpers to swindle
and defraud it. BELLANIY will do to
read, but for practice the only safe plan
is the good old Democra tic doctrine of a
fair field for all and no governmental
absorption of the functions Of private
