PASSING WAY Up YONDER."

THE TIMES hastens to convey its most dis
tinguished compliments to Hon. James Fount
Tillman, Register of the Treasury. 1t ap-
peared in our news columns of yesterday-the
smallest, shortest. brightest, completest and
newsiest news columns 10 this city. by the
way--that one Gaddis, a former clerk in the
Treasury Department, was purposing to COM
pei Secretary Carlisle to show why he. Cad
dis. should not be reinstated. This was the
dull and prosaic feature Of the performance,
however. The gay and picturesque one was
the connection Of Hon. James Fount Tillman
with the affair. Mr.. Gaddis tells us that Mr..
Tillman wanted certain would-be clerk to
pass his civil service examinations way up
yonder," most gay and picturesque express
sion, truly expressive truly significant, truly
a Whit from the mountains of East Tennes-
see or somewhere else we know not where,
nor care. The serious side of the question Is
whether Mr.. Roosevelt proposes to permit,
not this proposed tampering with the ma
chinery OF the civil service commission. but
this mere intention to do it. Does he propose
to have anybody, even Register of the
Treasury, say, or imply, or imagine for a
moment that 1t is safe for him TO expect, or
imagine, much less suggest, that it is possible
for the novitiate in civil service examina-
ton to pass ''way up yonder?" We should
say not. We should say that Mr.. Roosevelt
ought to look into this thing right away.

AGAIN THE PLEASURES
OF BOARDING HOUSES.

"what," asks young bride, sis the prac-
teal objection to boarding-house life for a
young married couple?" The most practical
objection toward boarding-house life for
young married couple the answer is that 1t
strikes false keynote to the best way Of liv
ing at the very beginning. 1t is delusive. 1t
Is generally resorted to by the newly-married
because of one of two reasons-for the So
called ease or comfort which it brings to the
wife or the supposed economy which appeals
to the husband. In both instances it is a
snare and delusion. Boarding is TO the
great majority of women who have tried 1t
the most wearisome sort of life. 1t is true
that IL takes out of womans life certain
amount of actual work. But it also takes out
other things that should be dear 10 every
woman. There is absolutely no other
form of life that is more conducive
toward the development of an aimless
existence than boarding. 1t is conducive
to a sense OF idleness that nothing can coun-
teract 1t takes from a woman all the sense
of being the mistress of some place, no matter
how small. 1t gives her nothing that she can
call her own. 1t throws her by force into
contact with undesirable natures. 1t makes
her either the mother or target of idle gossip
and talk. Few things in our natures remain
sacred or our own in boarding house. II
the freedom from household cares which it
insures gives her certain amount of ease II
is at the cost of some of the richest expe-
riences of life. Home associations are i'm
possible in a boarding house. no matter how
fortunate may be the selection. 1t is board
ing" 1t can never be anything else.

IheY Must "MOYe On -

The Coxey movement is receiving no atten-
ton from the House Committee on Rules.
which would deal with the subject SO far as
the House OF Representatives is concerned. 1t
has been spoken OF informally but no action
has been taken nor is any contemplated. The
members of the committee. including the
Speaker. think the less said about the move
ment the better. One OF the committeeman
said yesterday that any formal attention TO the
movement would only result in giving it un-
due Importance. He expressed the belief that
it would be like any other labor demonstra-
ton and would melt away in few days. He
said that the men had the undoubted right to
come here like any other excursionists and to
peaceably come as individuals to the Capitol
and go into the galleries and corridors. They
would be subject also to the rules of moving
on like other excursionists. SO that large as
semblages menacing the peace and quiet of
the Capitol and the community would be
avoided
There was no need Of congressional action,
the members of the committee say. as the sit
nation required only that Coxey's people
should be treated like other people.

DEDUcTING SALARIES.
Old Rule Furnishing Members of Congress
for Abscuteeism 10 Re Enforced

Old Rule Furnishing Members of Congress
for Abscnteeism to Be Enforced.
Speaker Crisp yesterday authorized Ser
geant-at-Arms Snow to make public the new
form OF certificate, by which the old law in dis
use for thirty years is revived and the pay Of
members Is "docksd" for absenteeism. Mr..
Snow said concerning the new system: 81
feel that 1t must result in much confusion and
friction; yet as the law exists and the House
wants me to execute it, will do so There
will be many difficulties in keeping the ac-
counts, and members will necessarily be sub
jected to much Inconvenience. At present
members draw cash from the cashier or else
make drafts through the banks on the bal
ances with us. Now II member In New
York draws on US through q local bank the
draft will be presented to US on the fourth of
the month. But at that time we will
not have the members signed certificate
showing the amount due him. The
certificates cannot be made until the last
moment, us the deduction for absenteeism
may occur on the last day. Then it is not
within the bounds of possibility for 356 MEM
bers of Congress to make out their certificates
at the moment they are wanted. After that
they must go to the Speaker for approval As
a result it will be difficult and perhaps i'm
possible to keep run OF the balances. l can't
see how we can keep drafts and checks made
by members through banks from going to
protest. 1t will be no satisfactory thing to
have dozen or more drafts going to protest
at time. with the attendant inconvenience
and injury to the bank credit of members
Still, If the Honse wants this system resumed,
/ will execute it to the best of my ability.
The first deduction will be made ON the fourth
of next MONTH"

TIMES ADVERTISING PAYS.

The merchants Of Washington are realizing
more and more that TINES advertising pays.
1t pays first, because the circulation Of this
paper is home circulation. THE TIMES in
terests the women. They read it, they spend
our money. They patronize merchants,
therefore, who advertise in THE TIMES. But
what about the great body of everyday peo-
pie, the thousands who are directly interested
IN the success of this journal-what about
their influence and good will? 1t is worth
s25, 900 to this paper easily. II is worth that
sum, because these thousands Of supporters
of this paper are prepared to patronize the
merchants of this town who advertise in THE
TIMES. Their own journal, their own organ,
II you will, the paper which they swear by
and support more than any other because it
is their open forum, their defender, their
friend in the workshop and the business
Office and by the hearthstone.

Inconvenient Travel to Anacostia.

To the Editor Of The TINES:
The Anacostia and Potomac horse-car line
ought to be in very bad order Every little
while Mr.. Griswold issues a manifesto for the
edification of those obliged to patronize the
road. First, he took OF conductors, thus COM
pelling somebody to perform that necessary
duty when the car is so full each man and wo-
man finds it impossible to put his own fare in
the company's box. Next he took off or cut off
transfers, with the plea that "the transfer sys-
tenn worked a loss to the company"
Yesterday a new manifesto graced the forward
end of tho cars, and no "bundle." mo child big
enough to sit alone" and now no "basket in size
over Sxl2 inches will be allowed to ride without
paying a fare" and the drivers are author
lied to collect this fare" Now no rules could
be devised better calculated to nip where it will
hurt the NEST than that one about the basket
1t hits the women who go to market, and 1t hits
the dusky inhabitants Of Hillsdale who do laun-
dry work.
The best thing that could happen to Anacostia
would be a first class herdic or coach line estab-
lished to run from the center Of the city to the
Asylumn gate. A DAILY PASSENGER

Just refused to be annexed to Chicago.

telescoped before it had really pulled out of
the station.
The leading newspapers OF Kentucky are
calling upon Mr.. Breckinridge to get out be-

yer tongue gets wagging.
The Theosophists. 1t seems, are just about
projecting their carmas and reincarnations
into San Francisco for an annual conven-
ton.
Mrs Waite, wife OF the Governor Of Col
orado, thinks there is no one like her hus-
band.
Mrs. Frank Leslie has not yet ceased to be
angry because Willie Wilde got married first.
1t was very innocent Of the only living ex-
President to advise the students of Stanford
not to become office-seekers This advice
was SO very disinterested, too.
Col. Phil Thompson thinks Of getting vac
cinated.

very wicked.
1t is asserted by the Cleveland Plaindealer
that Miss Pollard will not go upon the stage,
not even in closed carriage.
A Baltimore humorist, doubtless suffering
from domestic Affections, remarks that Miss
Pollard's $4,000 will be just a little too late
for the Spring bonnet season.
II DR.. Depew doesn't look out his presidcn-
tial boom will collide with the water tank on
a siding.
There is hen at Salisbury. Nd, that can
lay an egg within an egg; and doubtless
some fine old minstrel can make a fine old
joke about this.
Now that Jerry Simpson is recovering the

Chances OF the Tariff Bill.


There are A Democratic Senators, SO Re-
publicans and Populists. There are va
cancies. Two of the Populists, Allen and
Kyle, will vote for the bill. PETER is doubt
full. Until he joined the third party move
ment he was Republican and protection
ist. Assuming that he remains protection
ist, the division on party lines would be 46
for the bill and SO against. II the Demo-
Gratis Senators Hill, German, Brice, Smith,
White of California, Murphy, Mcpherson
and Gibson named vote with the other pro-
tectionists the vote will stand 3S for the bill
and AZ against. II Hill and the Democrats
who are protectionists on principle or from
interest vote against the bill, the vote will
stand 40 for the bill and As against. The
Democrats, including Allen and Kyle. can
lose only three votes and airy he'bill. What
are the chances? The chances are that the
party will succeed in forcing its protectionist
minority into line.

Chinese unsnifaIifN-

ltrom the flttsDurs Dlspalcn.l
Every few people have any idea OF the great
hospitality of the Chinese" said Pittsburg
Celestial yesterday. "Chinamen coming to
this country retain their ideas of oriental hos
pitality, and always keep open doors for any
of their race who may need shelter. A China
man arriving in Pittsburg without money
would never want for lodging and boarding
place. He would simply go to the first Chi
nese laundry or residence, feeling assured
that he would find welcome there. Ii. after
staying a couple of days, he should learn that
the circumstances of his host were such that
the latter could not well afford to keep him,
he would move away, making his home with
another Chinaman. He would continue doing
this, dividing himself up, so to speak. until he
was able TO get work and support himself.
OF course such wanderers usually endeavor
to find the most wealthy Cinnamon and be-
come their guests. | have known some OF
the laundries in Pittsburg to have ten and
twelve transient visitors-you could not
call them boarders-to stay overnight.
The hospitality of Cinnamon is something
that cannot be excelled among any other

The net, which is close wire, was stretched
in the shape of a right angle, and extended a
quarter of a mile each way. making in all a
half mile At the vortex of the angle is a
pen-really slaughter pen of the poor things.
This irclosure is about forty feet square,
guarded on all sides by the net. The ladies
and children were stationed along the furthest
border. The riders were scattered in all di-
rections, and for miles around were "herd-
ing" tho little animals toward the net. Hun
dreds and hundreds came bounding against
the wires as the drivers drew closer. They
were gradually driven toward the pen. where
they were put to death This net is won-
derful invention, and is the first successful
thing that has been found to cope with these
destructive 'mule ears of the West. This
one net alone has in the past week entrapped

A Dog With n Wooden Leg.


Did you ever hear OF dog having wooden
leg? l know man near where I live who
has small dog, one of whose front legs was
crushed some time ago by wagon wheel.
Being something of surgeon, his master care
fully amputated the crushed leg, and when
the wound was healed provided the dog with
light and strong wooden leg. In the course
of time the dog. which is very intelligent
little animal, became aware that he could rest
his weight upon this wooden leg and use it
for all ordinary purposes. In walking or
trotting the dog always used his artificial
limb but if he has occasion TO do any fast
running or leaping he will gracefully hold up
the wooden les; and depend solely upon the
other three for the service required.

Still it was not convenient for every English
workman to canter away to the hills. Some
had families and loved them just as workmen
love their families nowadays, and they must
abide by their own hearths. So when the
law limiting wages began to be enforced
against these family men they replied by
combinations among themselves.
These were the first trades unions, away
back almost 600 years, in the middle of the
fourteenth century. The heads and control
ling spirits of this old-time Farmers Alliance
were wikliffs shavelings in the russet cloaks.
They had education, hardy cast OF thought,
and were for the most part honest, and SO
the people trusted them. The upshot OF all
this law against wages was the rebellion OF
Wat Tyler, Jack Straw and John Ball. The
last was one Of the russell priests aforesaid.
This rebellion was met by Richard II, who,
although o very young prince, had the wit
to promise everything the rebels asked-that
is, that they be- free to work for whom they
pleased and for such wages as they could
get.
Wat Tyler was, however, struck from be-
hind and killed by the mayor OF London while
talking with the king, and after the rebels
had dispersed to their homes some ], 400
leaders, including Jack Straw and John Ball,
and several hundred others Of the russell
priesthood, were hunted out by tho revengeful
coward who wore the crown Of England and
slain in the name of law. However, this re-
bellion. or strike, as it would be called in this
day, and which brought at least 10000 stran-
gers to London, who sacked, and looted, and
its full objects. 1t taught a lesson over which
the nobility shuddered for many day. and
was, In truth, the beginning of liberty for the
common people of England.

desire to raise the circulation of THE TINES 5000
copies during the coming week Looking to that
end, i would suggest to organized labor,
especially those unions owning stock in

all along the line next week. Let Columbia
Union, No. 1Ol, get $500 of these. Let the
members of the whole thirty more labor
organizations in this city that ii is put into
every grocery store, barber shop, saloon and
hotel Let them see that every merchant with
whom they deal subscribes for il and advertises
in it, / believe it could be made 10000 Just as
easy, but 5000 will be a good weeks work.
