eigners who get their living off Of inter-
est money sent by American simpletons
who haven't sense enough to demand q
monetary system that will rescue them
from European money loanerS.
The naval display will be fine. Our
fleshy $4,000 clerk is going over to look
at it. Perhaps Princess Ruth will go
along. If she should, the country will
be notified by the associated press. The
press dispatches may not recite all the
details Of the trip of the fleshy clerk and
the princess, but there will be hundreds
Of bright newspaper correspondents en-
ployed to notify the public Of any little
incident in the way Of a sneeze or a
tumble.
Our $4,000 Lafayette statue has be-
come something OF an old story, and we
stood IN crying need of q new work Of
art in that line "in order to lnculcate
lessons of patriotism in the youth Of the
nation" hence this congress appropriated
$4,000 for a statue to General Sherman.
OF course the money will 60 abroad as
did the Lafayette fund to q foreign
artist. Six millions Of public money went
to importers for drawbacks. The Stand
ard Oil Company was large recipient
Of this appropriation.
The highly useful and ornamental gen.
tlemen and their families who reside at
foreign courts received $3,162,09O.
The truly great Claus Spreckles and
other villianous owners of beet and sugar
cane industries received $40, 100000 sugar
bounty.
The legislation of the preceding repub-
ican congress entsiled expenditures
amounting to some few millions Of dol
lars upon the last congress, chiefly for
sugar bounties, postal subsidy and battle
ships.
There was no end of legislation for the
army and navy, carrying immense appro-
priations, and giving every evidence Of
intent and purpose to make Of this gov
eminent despotic oligarchy.
The excessive preponderance of the
military display in the inaugural parade
was significant as showing the tendency
toward things warlike, 1t all struck me
as being most unwsrrsntable and bar.
barous to bring out weapons and accou-
trements Of death with which to garnish
and embellish the installation Of pub
lie official in a republic supposedly
founded on peace and progress rather
than on the ssvRgery Of bayonsts.
S.-How hard it seems for the old
party newspapers to be pleased with the
customs of the Simpson family. At the
first, poor Jerry was bersted because Of
his sockless state, and now that he has
attained that degree Of prosperity which
enables him TO suitably clothe his fam.
lily he is again the target of dissatisfied
press. This time he is struck at through
his wife. That little Woman's "black
velvet and diamonds" which she wore
TO the inaugural ball are the offending
items. 1 can bear testimony that the
one little brilliant in q very modest plain

which will enable them to secure the
services Of q $4,000 year clerk.
What utter nonsense for men who have
it entirely in their power through the
potency of the ballot to set affairs going
in the right way, to wait until a robbed
and desperate populace, sick with hun
ger and blind with wrath, turn like the
trsmpled worm.
Out Of all the fuss and feathers Of con-
gressional pretense and oratory, out Of
ell the tremendous effort Of our public
servants to do something for the country
there resulted just three bills Of which it
may be said that they directly benefit the
people. The Cherokee outlet bill, the
car coupler bill and the quarantine bill.
The Cherokee lands will give a chance
for few more people to get themselves
homes. The poor fellows who risk life
and limb in railroad work will be made
safer by the car coupler law, and the
quarantine law may keep out imported
cholera. But there are cholera breeding
conditions in all the slums and alleys of
every city in America sufficient to supply
US with a first class native brand this
coming season.
IL it were not ali so pitlful and so
fraught with tragedy, I could lean back
in my chair and laugh as | write Of the
spectacle of craftsmanship which takes
little quarantine spoon and attempts to
bail the great ocean of disease breeding
conditions instead OF making such large
and genuine provisions for public en-
ployment as would sweep our cities Of
their plague spots, tear down their dam
gSrous tenement novels and erect instead
clean, wholesome homes, such as every
American citizen is entitled to who is
willing and able to work.
There are millions Of square miles of
fertile land in the clutches Of alien idlers.
There are millions Of unemployed men
and women who would gladly make that
land blossom as the rose and bring forth
abundant hsrvests. Will some reader
Of the ADVOCATE please send me word
why our American statesmen, our public
servants might not proftably employ
their brains and oratory in devising some
ways and means to permit the idle, hun
gry people to raise good things on the
unused ground?
OF all the expenditures authorized by
congress, the most meritorious is the
pension appropriation. At least one
seventh Of the appropriated sum filters
through the disbursing system and
reaches the pensioner And that money
goes for the most part to people who are
deserving and needy. Yet statesman
German, q millionaire public servant
from Maryland, grew very sarcastic and
captious as to pensions, and denounced
the extravaganza in unmessured terms.
He is the same patriot who eloquently
plead for the battle ship appropriations,
because il that expenditure were NOT
allowed the steel industries in this coun-
try would be psralyzed, and the good Mr.
Carnegie and his ilk would not be able
to make magnificent gifts of libraries
aud churches to the working classes.

WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENCE.

Rress. | had determined to present o
clear statement Of laws enacted in the
intorsst Of EepeOpIe. ] trust that the four
last words Of the preceding sentence may
not be construed az q sarcasm, because
really we have right in reviewing the
work Of the nations law makers TO ex-
uect to find that the interest and the
welfare Of the people have been looked
after. There is q legend to the effect
that men are sent to congress for that
purpose. AS result Of my investiga-
tions | find that something over 600 bills
ran the gauntlet Of house and senate
msneuvsrinR and became laws. OF these
600 by far the larger proportion were
personal claims or pertaining to minor
matters Of merely local interest, such
matters as ought, under any sort Of COM
mon sense management, to have bean
considered in the localities benefited. 1t
il Of all things most preposterous that
the great national governmental machine
with its enormous expense should be
employed to transact business Of purely
personal nature.
1t costs in the neighbOrhood Of $6,OOO,-
600 to carry on one congress from start
to finish. This Is purely for the legis-
lative business, and of course does not
include the expense Of the several dis
bursting agencies, the departments OF
state, and the enormous expense OF the
executive.
l challenge any reader Of the ADVOCATE
TO mention one single item Of legislation
gotten through this extravagant method
which might not have been obtained by
the direct say so Of the people expressed
through publication in official SSpers.
There is an annual expenditure OF $780,
600 for the printing Of the Congressional
Record. A common sense and truly
democratic method might employ that
sum in the publication Of newspapers
which should express the will and the
wishes of the people, thus dispensing
with the necessity for the convening Of
a body Of public servants whose chief
function has been for the past quarter
Of century to transact business which
has resulted in the upbuilding OF enor-
nous fortunes for q few privileged
classes. / need hardly remark that !
shall not carry this suggestion to the
White House and submit it to the fleshy
father Of Princess Ruth, as / feel conf
dent from the tenor Of his remarks on
the day Of his Inauguration, that he
would declare me unconstitutional, and
even possibly brand me Is an anarchist.
My sole defense would be that the con-
stitution was made for man and not man
for the constitution, and this same re-
vered document most happily provides
for its own amendment in q perfectly
legal, peaceful way. And it some im0
the American sovereigns should open
their eyes and discover what a stupen-
dous humbug and terrible fraud our pres
emit method Of legislation has gotten to
be, and il they should conclude to adopt
q less roundabout, less expensive and
cumbersome method, the way is perfectly
open, and there is not the slightest me-
cessity for the use Of the bayonet or
dynamite to accomplish the desired end.
All that is needful is for men to apply
the same good business sense to the con-
