Senator Carey is now rejecting upon the
uncertainty of politics and .newspaperdom.
He is candidate for reelection to the Sen
ate. Ex-senator Warren is also a candidate
for election to the vacant seat which he oe-
cupied prior to March 4, 1893, and which has
since been unoccupied.
''It's funny situation out there" said
friend of the Senator who is familiar with
the situation. "Mr. Carey was liberal in his
contributions TO the late campaign, and the
newspaper, which has prospered. Now that
the fight for the Senatorship comes on Mr..
Carey finds to his astonishnent that the paper
which his money established is supportingIhe
oti er fellow. You see. while ex-senator War
rem is not candidate for the seat which Mr.
Carey occupies. Mr.. Warren is from the same
city AS is MIR. Carey, Cheyenne. and the peo-
pie oat there have concluded II is not the
proper thing to elect two Senators from one
city. So the paper which Mr.. Carey smoney
established is OF Grating TO defeat him. and he
is contemplating the establishment Of another
paper II he does. however, you may be sure
he will keep a string to il.

last session on the State banking question.
which. they say, is precisely the reverse OF
the views he is now defending On the same
subject.
''You fellows are altogether too hard on
Springer' said one OF his Illinois colleagues
to lroup OF members who were discussing
the speech of last session. 'Its pity II as
able man Mr.. Springer can't be per-
mitted To change his mind rs often as once in
a session. especially as the administration
had not declared itself on this sub ect last ses-

The members of the Cincinnati and Louis
vile delegation who were here asking the
Post Office Committee to put an HpproprIa-
tion for last mail service from Cincinnati
southward. into the appropriation bill, went
home sadly muddled over the rules OF the
House.
Il don't understand it at ALL said one OF
them, looking very much puzzled. CHAIR
man Henderson of the Post Office Committee
tells US that il the committee should put 1t
into the bin it would be ruled out the
point OF order that il is new legislation. and
therefore can 20 into the bill. j hey tell US
that tie only way Ii TO get it inserted by the
Senote. Dut what we cant understand. is,
how in the word they managed 10 set into
the bill cUupl. OF years ago. in tho House,
the Legislation which gIGes couple OF nun
dred thousand "a year TO "A last mail, benefit

asked him yester lay if he had made any
recommendation yet.
NO he replied in his vigorous. straight
forward style, Il don't make recommends
lions when the appointing power is out of
town..
The members Of the Appropriations Com
m ttees of House and Senate are the most
courtei men in Congress now. Every man
who has n pet scheme la his district is smiling
upon these gentlemen, even though he has
little hopes o. success.
Il don't want anything, indeed I don't.
said one OF the Western members, as he lock
an easy-chair in the committee room beside
tho chairman. aud proceeded to discuss poll
tics, weather. and Congressional probabilities.

Thirty thousand dollars is pretty large
sum. said the chairman, graveiy.
Yes" was the reply. but when you
found out that the Missouri River had been
omitted from one OF the appropriation bills
last session there wasn't the slightest diff
Guilty in getting million and u half inserted
