which ARs money for themselves, or
some person close to them, involved, OF
q pack Of rRvenous CANNES barking,
snarling, :.yelping and lsaping after o
piscs Of Rresh meat hung just over their
heads. The RFOtesqus antics, the walk
ing on hind legs and the generally fran
tic behavior Of the human biped and the
canine quadruped comedies TO humil-
iatinR extent. A case in point occurred
in the lower house Of congress this week
when the question Of furnishing each
member with an annual clerk. About
&355,0O0 would be expended upon these
clerks before the next congress. The
noisy scramble INDUCED In to push
through this petty steal betrayed the
hungry alaCrity which the honorable
body can generate when self-intsrsst is
the stake. Notice q few Of the fine
points to this business. First, the,clerks
would be appOrtiOned TO the incoming
members. The expiring democratic
congress would bS charged with the ex-
trREagRnt appropriation. Third, the
old members would retain the frsnklDg
privilege and would have the seeds and
documents and other duties to attend
to unSided by clerks. Fourth, the clerks
would have absolutely nothing to do
until the next congress Convsnes. Their
salaries would be an outright present
for more than half q year. Fine states
manship in all this. The bill passed by
a big MAJ ority in the committee Of the
whole (Ot course, Rll Popullsts and
some good democrats and good republi.
cans voted against it where the names
OF the members were mot recorded But
now comes the significant part. Wien
the yea and nay vote was called the ma.
lorlty broke down before the prObSbil-
ity Of scornful criticisms from their con-
stituents and killed the measure by o
larger msjority than they had before
given for it. Moral: It is far easier FOR
q greedy congressman to grab in the
dark than when the lights are turned
on. Let us have moro light and less
grab.

The suffering of the "woFthy" poor
has been 30 widespread and 30 intense
in Washington this winter, and more
conspicuously so since the last bitter
cold time that immense pressure was
brought to bear upon congress for an
Appropriation to furnish the neC-
sssaries OF life. The condition was
growing into q national scandal.
The worthy" poor DtubbOrnly
and very impolitely refused to
stsrve and freeze in silence. Rsal nice
and once Wsll-to.do men insisted upon
telling the distress they felt ct seeing
the wives they loved and the children
they desired to protect emscists and
die by inches, and 80 it came to pass
that even congress thought it unwise to
be longer inhuman. Ten thousand dol
lars was appropriated for the relief Of
the poor and needy Of the District. No
tice, please, the cloven hoof the beast
