A specially rich strike of silver ore

more weight for weight to transport
rich ore than poor ore from the mine

mine owner asks a railway company
to run in spur to his mine and seeks
to make terms for transportation the
first question in reply is: slow
much does your ore assay?' The
railways charge per ton is in pro

Probable Action.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 26.-The prevail
ing impression as to the probable ac-
ton of the two houses on the silver
question finds expression as follows !:
The vote on the Wilson repeal bill
will be taken Monday in the house
and the silver purchase clause OF the
Sherman law, as far as that body is
concerned, will be wiped out of exist
ence; the bill will then go to the SEN
ate, where it will be referred to the
finance committee, which will proba-
bly, pigeon-hole it. The senate will 60
right straight along talking silver, as
it has been doing for several days. 1t
will do this for two weeks, and proba-
bly, longer, before a final vote is taken.
The bill which will be passed will be
the Voorhees, bill, not the Wilson bill
from the house, which will slumber on
quietly in the room of the finance
committee. Then the VOORHEES, bill
will go over to the house. There it
will doubtless be acted on with little
delay though there may be another
food Of oratory, because as there is
some difference between the senate
and house measures the silver men
may insist on some talk. II there be
prospect of a contest however, the
cloture will be speedily applied and
the bill be passed and then ready for
the presidents signature. The Voor-
bees bill only differs from the Wilson
bill in making a declaration favorable
to bimetallsm.

Two Young United States Senators.

1t was a coincidence that the young
senato from Colorado, Mr.. Wolcott.
and the young and new senator from
Massachusetts, Mr.. Lodge, spoke from
opposite points of view upon the cur
rency question. They are really both
Massachusetts men, for the Colorado
senato was born in the village OF
Long Meadow, where his father used
to preach. Young Wolcott met Lodge
first in the rotunda OF the Bay State
Hotel at Worcester, when there was
hotter rivalry between them than
there was in the senate, although the
rivalry at hat time was only e
the comparative merits OF the Yale
and Harvard crews. Lodge comes OF
the bluest blooded Massachusetts
aristocracy, which has always had
Harvard training; Wolcott OF an
equally blue blooded Connecticut aris-
tocracy, which has always had Yale
training. The earlier Wolcott's,
those OF colonial and revolutionary
DAYS. furnished a cabinet officer for
Washington, two or three governors
for Connecticut and two senator's,
while by marriage with the Griswold
family it was connected with three
more governors of Connecticut.
Wolcott was never n student even
in his college days; Lodge always was
at his books. What literary quality
Wolcott has is very largely a natural
gift. Lodge has subjected himself to
severe discipline and arduous training.
Wolcott is impetuous, frolicsome, a
creature of impulse. Lodge of greater
self restraint, of cooler habit and OF
greater reasoning powers. But they
together represent the best element in
the Republican party of the younger
generation. Lodge has no desire for
executive office, looking forward to a
career i'm the senate as the finest which
political ambition in this country can
attain.

What II Costs to Make Our Laws.

Framing and enacting laws for the
government OF his people costs Uncle
Sam "A good, round sum of hard cash
every year. The expenses are always
high, but when congress is in session
they amount to an enormous figure.
The pay alone OF members of the
house amounts to S1,S00, 900 a year,
and they get 100000 extra for mile
age. Then there are clerks, doorkeep-
ers, bookkeepers, pages, messengers,
ETC., whose salary list runs up to
S730,O0O. This does not include the
Office OF sergeant-at-arms, which is "a
sort OF bank, through which the sal
aries OF representatives are paid. To
run this department an outlay of
SIG ZOO is needed. An additional
S26, 200 provides for the support OF
the house postofiice, through which as
much mail passes as through the post
office of many a good-sized town.
The number of senators being much
smaller, their annual pay amounts
only TO $3.50, 900, with an additional
$40 1000 for mileage. 1t costs S5,46O
to pay the employees in the office of
the vice president. The office of the
secretary OF the upper house, which
does the banking and attends to much
of the clerical business OF that body,
requires 500, 500 tor salaries. Clerks
and messengers to the various COM
mittees draw S163, 500. The sergeant
at-arms, doorkeepers and other help
ers get an aggregate OF Sis, 600.
There are further expenditures of
$50, 700 for the document and folding
rooms, S1S,2O0 for the senate post
office and SIG, 900 for stationery and
newspapers.
To this should be added the cost of
the Congressional Record, which
amounts to more than S250,00O an
nually. The architect in charge of the
capitol is allowed $4,000 annually
for keeping the building in repair.
Yet this has nothing to do with the
keeping up of the two wings as far as
their interior arrangements are on
cerned. The care of them devolves
upon the senate and house respec-
lively. Furniture and repairs occa-
sion an annual outlay OF SIS 5000, to
which should be added about S35 1000
for fuel and gas. The wages OF EN-
g~ineers, elevator conductors n work
men come to $50, 500 extra, while the
pay OF the capitol policemen Is $780,
o per annum.
In no other republic of the world is
the cost of the legislative assemblies
so high.
