THE RICHEST CONGRESSMAN.
Sorg, of Ohio, and Newlands, of Ne
vada, Neck and Neck.

WASHINGTON, d. c., March IA
"Who is the richest man of the
House?" somebody asked the other
day, and at once there was a discus
sion of the point. Some said Paul
Sorg, of the Third Ohio District, who
is a great manufacturer of plug to-
bacco. 1t is said that he is worth S15,-
.oOO, 900 and makes $780, 900 a year out
of his plug tobacco business alone. OF
course he has other great invest
ments. Some have disputed the claim
of Mr.. Sorg's friends, however,
that he is the richest Representative.
They have maintained that Francis
Newlands, the Nevada PopuIist, is the
richest. Mr.. Newlands inherited, or
at least manages as trustee the Sharon
mines, being a son-in-law of old Sena-
tor Sharon. He and a California syn
dictate invested very heavily here in
the Chevy Chase lands in the imme-
date suburbs, spending thousands of
dollars upon the electric road for the
purpose of neighboring divisions and
for the erection of cottages. They will
get this money back sometime, but
now it is a heavy load to carry. Yet
Mr.. Newlands may contest with Mr..
Sorg the honor of being the richest
member if he chooses, OF if his friends
choose. There are two very interest
ing millionaires in the lower branch
besides Mr.. Sorg of Ohio-one Mr..
White of Ohio, and the other Mr..
Morse of Massachusetts. Chewing
gum in the former cas- and stove
polish in the latter have been the
ureat schamag

OFFICERS AND MINERS FIGHT.
A Colorado Constable Kills a Man on
a Train and Jails HIS Prisoners.

CRIPPLE CREEK, Colo, March 49,
The whole Cripple Creek district is
greatly excited over a lively running
fight last night between an officer and
a number of miners and former rail-
road men, in which one man a kill
ed and another badly injured. Con-
stable Frank Luepton had arrested a
man named McQuade at Victor for
participating in the railroad strikes
last summer. A number of his COM
panions objected and in the melee one
man, Seth Ralston, was shot through
the cheek. The officers finally got
Ralston and McQuade before a JUS
tice of the Peace, where both were
put under $500 bonds, which they re-
fused to give. Luepton placed his
prisoners on a train to bring them to
Cripple Creek, but friends of the men
covered the engineer with guns, pre-
venting the trains departure. When
the Constable approached the loco
motive the engineer jumped and ran.
Finally the train was started, but
after going a mile was stopped, osten-
sibly to let off passengers. Patrick
Looney and a couple of other men at
tempted to enter the rear car, where
Luepton and his officers were. Luep-
ton grappled with Looney, and, as he
was losing ground, pulled a gun and
fired, killing Looney instantly. The
prisoners were finally landed in jail
here without further incident, but
further trouble is expected.

A WEST POINT APPOINTMENT
Will Soon Be Asked for Ulysses s.
Grant.

NEW YORK, March 12.-Sometimes
within the next four years Col. Fred
erick d. Grant will go to Washington
to ask the President to appoint his
son, L. s. Grant, to a cadetship in
West Point, from which he and his
father, the late Gen. U. S. Grant,
graduated. Col. Grant will take with
him a letter now in his possession,
which was written by his father while
he was very ill, early in April, 1885,
at his home, No. 8 East Sixty-sixth
street.
1t was brief, and simply requests
that the President who occupies the
executive mansion when the express
ident's grandson is IL years of age,
will appoint the young mar to a West
Point cadetship. Gen. Grant fire.
quently requested Col. Grant TO send
young Ulysses to West Point, and his
wishes will probably be gratiied.
Young Grant was born July 4, 1881, in
Chicago. He is an exceedingly bright
boy, fond of military displays, and
during his life has collected an army
of 1900 lead and tin soldiers. He
speaks French and German fluently,
and is now editor-in-chief of the
Junior MonthlH, a boys paper.

TELLER HOPEFUL.
The Colorado Senator Thinks a Bime-
tallic Standard Will be Adopted.

WASHINGTON, D. c., March IA
Senator Teller of Colorado takes n
hopeful view of the possible action Of
the proposed international monetary
conference. He believes a bimetallic
standard will be adopted. He bases
his belief on the theory that Germany
will fall into line with France, the
United States and the other silver
using States and forco that result.
Hitherto every step toward an inter-
national understanding has been
blocked by the attitude of Germany.
At all previous conferences the Ger
man delegates have insisted that their
government was satisfied with the
present system and would not consider
the probability of a change. Now,
however, the Senator says, a change
has come over the spirit of Germany
and he believes that she viii be willing
to take steps Independently of Great
Britain.
Great Britain will never consent to
bimetallism for herself, but she may
consent to reopen the minis of India,
and possibly keep a part of the re-
serve in the Bank of England in sill
ver. That would be a decided ad-
vance toward bimetallism.

An Operators Error.

An error on the part of a telegraph
operator at Wellsville, Mo-, has
brought upon the Western Union Tel
egraph Company a damage suit for
500, brought Friday by Overstreet
and McNiely. The plaintiffs had a
claim against Z. L. Bently for that
amount, and their agent at Wellsville
sent them n telegram that Bentley's
property there was encountered for
81, 500. The operator got it $4,000, a
sum much in excess of its value, hence
the plaintiffs failed to attach and got
left Stdr-Sdyings.
Bently is one of the men that went
to the wall when Elliot & McNama
made an assignment. He was security
for the defunct firm on several notes.
1t is safe to say that the Elliot & Nc
Mama failure hurt more people direct
" or indirectly than any other collapse
that ever occurred in Audrain county.
1t is also one of the worst complicated
assignments that ever went on record
in the Mexico Court House.

Champ Clark Will Fight for Free Silver

CENTER, MO-, Marcn l4.-Ex-Con-
gresham Champ Clark, discussing the
new silver party, says: 81 am as
strong a silver man as any one, but in
favor of fighting it out inside the
Democratic party.
81 believe the bimetallists are i'll the
majority in the party, and if we are as
active and vigilant as the gold bugs
we can dictate both the platform and
the candidates, and with a declaration
in favor of both gold and silver, and
with a candidate who will carry out
the platform pledges, I believe we
can sweep the country"
Mr.. Clark starts on his lecture tour
March Is, opening at Hannibal on the
Fifty-third Congress.

BIG REFORMS
Accomplished by the Dockery Joint
Commission.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., March 13.-A
review of the work done by the Dock
cry Joint Commission of Congress,
created for the purpose of inquiring
into and examining the statutes of the
law authorizing the executive depart
ments, have been printed. The great
er number of the recommendations of
the commission, so far, which have
been put into practical operation, have
from time to time been made public.
The review shows that the entire cost
of the commission aggregated S41,-
264, while the actual annual reductions
in the Government expenditures made
as a result of it's work, amount to
1907 ,591. This reduction, the review
continues, is not for the time being
only, but will continue through each
of the coming years. The commission,
however, feel that the expedition of
public business and added security to
the Government in its methods of ac-
counting under the new systems in
a%ugurated would have fully justified
its existence, wen if there had been
no diminution in expenditures.
A census of the department gathered
at the direction of the Commission
discloses the fact that in the executive
departments and other Government
establishments at the National Capital
there are employed 1859 persons,
1867 male and 5,637 female; that of
the number employed in the eight ex-
ecutive departments 1e Department
of Labor, Civil Ser : Commission
and Fish Commission, which are I'M
der the Civil Service law, s,027 are in
the class subject to competitive Civil
Service examinatio, preliminary to
appointment and > Va # that number
entered the service. Nj + such exami-
nation, and hat Of H.. whole number
employed 5,61O have from one to nine
relatives each IL the Government
service at Washina OF The Commits
sion also reported d crncurrent reso-
luton which provided for the engross-
ment and enrolling of congressional
acts by printing, which received the
approval of both Houses, and the
Commission says its value from the
standpoint of both accuracy and econ
omy is Illustrated by the fact that not
a single error has occqred under the
system up to this time.
Much space has been given to a re-
cital of the benefits which the review
asserts have been accomplished as n
result of the new accounting system in
the Treasury, reported by the Com
mission and subsequently incorporated
in n bill approved by the President
July 81, 1894. The estimated annual
saving resulting from this reform is
put at 1894
Among the recommendations made
by the Commission and not acted on
relate to the organization of the Su-
pervising Architect, contested land
cases, repeal of the land contest act,
transfers of duties of Receivers of
Land Offices, public services, abolition
of the Office of Solicitor of Internal
Revenue, bonds of Government Off
Gals checking of money orders, aboli-
ton of naval officials at all ports, and
the establishment of a substitute there
for at New York, and writing and re-
| cording official letters. These reforms,
the Commission estimates, would eff
feet an annual saving of s449,929.

Folly of the lingo Policy.

The Baltimore san says: One OF the
most disquieting signs of the times Ia
the lingo policy into which protec-
tionists are betraying the Republican
party. Not content with sacrificing
the internal interests Of the country
to maintain the profits of a favored
few, they now proceed to court dis
aster abroad by an aggressive foreign
policy, contrary to the wise maxims
of the fathers of the republic, One
would think that all the energies Of
our statesmen might be fully occupied
for some years yet in solving the do
nestle problems with which we are
confronted.
