MINNEAPOLIS, Sept. 10.-The 49th
great sun council of the Improved Or
der of Red Men held its first session in
this city during the morning, it being
devoted to reports Of officers Of the or.
ganization. The most important bust.
ness to come before the council will be
the consideration of the report Of the
committee on rituals, which recon.
mends some radical changes. Great
Incohonee Paton's report also makes
recommendation which will probably
produce considerable discussion. He
suggests that in addition to the regular
dues an extra amount be assessed for
social council purposes. Some Of the
members of the order object to this.

LEADvMLE, Colo, Sept. 1O.-The BIZ
metallic smelter, employing some 200
men, has been shut down, owing to in.
ability to procure sufficient orders to
continue operations. It's daily capacity
is about 100 tons. The Bohn mine,
from which several union men have
been ordered, secured new men, and is
rapidly pumping out the water, so that
it will be ready to take out ore in a few
days, unless further interfered with.
Police are on guard there day and night.
Bodies of armed men continue to guard
all roads leading to the camp, sending
back all men who say they are coming
here to work, and all trains and depots
are carefully watched day and night.
Serious trouble is anticipated unless
some kind of settlement is reached soon.

turning the office over to Reuben Slo-

1.-THE USELESS CONGRESS-"

Probably this congress will live in his
tory as the useless congress" 1t has
even been a failure in the one field in
which it prided itself on it's heroism, in
the one thing which it's leader in the
lower branch set out for with all the i'm
petuosity of his nature. 1t has failed to
cut the appropriations down to a notch
which might give it tredit for economy.
Without any doubt the appropriations
which the next session will have to make
will carry the total for the fifty-fourth
congress far above the billion dollar
mark Failure all along the line appears
to be the record of this body of legis-
lators.
IT is a much discussed question If we
have not in this country too much gov
eminent by congress and too little by eX"
pert bureaus. Government by parlia-
ment is good enough in theory, if parlia-
ment does not insist upon too close atten~
ton to details. In our country the law
makers want not only to say generally
what shall be done, which is their right
and duty, but they want to supersede al
the expert boards and take everything
into their own hands. Here is the river
and harbor bill, which appropriates about
S12 600 900 and authorizes $40 1000, 600 more
This bill involves nothing but business
questions questions which can be deter
mined right only by expert engineers.
In any other country than this all details
of plans and expenditures would be LETT
without question to the engineering and
executive board charged with that re-
sponsibility.
Here these appropriations are all po-
liticaI We hear of the fortunes of this
or that candidate for the presidency be-
ing promoted by certain appropriations
in the river and harbor bill. We hear
that a certain railroad magnate has
been able to cozen congress into build
, ing a harbor terminal for his railroads.
We hear that this senator or that SEN
ator has made himself solid with his
! constituents by getting larger appro-

simulate the modesty of lusterless linen
The heavy gold chain is a thread of gold
and platinum or silver. anchored on
one side by the watch, on the other by
a match case. There are men who will
have none of this display, and carry a
homely, ponderous silver watch, which
sinks like a plummet by it's own weight
into the pocket.
The effort to introduce fobs for the
same reason has been a failure. No
man of Importance wears a charm.
There are men high up in secret socie
ties who wear curious insignia on their
chains. but these are never men of fash
ion. There are also men of sentiment,
who wear slender gold chains about
their necks, and bracelets girding their
bicepS, but these are only displayed by
accident or at the Turkish bath. The
ring and the scarf pin alone remain
among the visible objects of adornment.
The modern scarf pin reveals taste
for the groteSque. and as such appeals
to the mind as well as to the eye. 1t is
not more thing of beauty than thing
of ugliness "A faVorte scarf pin is
what the jeweler calls a false pearl,
mounted in some such amusing form as
its accidental shape suggests The ring
is not so much an object of adornment
as of interest. The favorite ring takes
the form of a serpent; the more occult.
sophistical and Mephistophelian it ap-
pears the more highly is it priced.
And then, when the restriction of jew
elry has reached its height. the KEY
chain was invented. Any woman will
wear fustian willingly if she can but
hear the gentle frou-frou, the susurrus
of its silk lining. So men recoup them
selves for their unadorned exterior by
hanging on the rough and ready silver
key chain jeweled cigar cutters, sculp-
tured champagne knives with cork
screws attached pencil cases with seals
cut in their heads. Even cigarette
cases and card cases. too precious to be
unattached. have been hung on the os
tentatiously rude chain fastened to the
Suspender button.
This unsatisted longing may be car
ried further for there are pistols mount
ed in silver for hip pockets, and new
field TASKS. with artistic designs in low
relief. modelled in easy forms for car
riage in place of the revolver, and for
which no license need be paid.-M. G. Ii.

priations for his state than any other
senator was ever able to secure. We
know that the representative who has
been lucky i'll getting his finger In the
river and harbor pork barrel counts con-
idently upon denomination and election
if he hasn't done another thing in the
world. The recommendations of the
government engineers have little or no
weight with congress. The rule is that
the politicians and the interests upon
which they depend for success work
the engineer assigned to their sections
of the country, and if he refuses to be
worked" they bring influence to bear
10 cause his transfer to some other post.
The whole corps of engineers. with few
honorable exceptions, is demolalized and

Gently. But IL doesn't. 1t insists upon
being its own board of experts. In Eng
land the recommendations of the admir-

Inmates are rarely or ever questioned as

atty and its expert boards know much
better what the navy needs than MEM
bers of parliament could possibly know.
Objections to the amount of the expend-
iture proposed may be raised but the
member of the British parliament who
should attempt to dictate to the admir-
atty the types of ships. the quantity of

things that way does not make it right,
