Election "Expen.esv Cut Down.


WASHINGTON, April 10.-House elections
committee No. 3, in pursuance of its policy
Of reducing the claims for expenses in
contested cases. has reached a decision in
the case OF fifteen contestants and contes-
tees. The total amount asked in those
fifteen cases was $31.932 and that allowed
S17,775. The law provides for an allowance
of 5000 for expenses in contested cases,
but Congress has in several instances
granted larger amounts, the last Congress
giving i,500 to each party In contested
case. It is understood to be the purpose
of the committee to in no case approve
claims for more than the statutory amount.

the executive board Of the Fourth Cong
ressional district returned last Friday at
ter two weeks trip up through the great
Seventh district; as a result of his visit
ne ORGANIZED league in three different
counties in and about Polk county and
succeeded in turning a weekly Repub-
lican paper to Populist weekly. This is
splendid work. We may also acknowledge
the service given to our party by the other
member OF the executive board of this
congressional district. Mr.. J. H. Gieske.
who spoke every night in some ward in
the city during our late municipal cam
paign; and in every precinct where he
spoke the nominees Of the Peoples party
carried that portion Of the ward. He has
received an invitation to go out into
Washington, Chisago and Kenebec coun-
ties to assist in organizing the league in
those counties.
An effort will be made this week to or
ganize league club in the Seventh,
Eighth and Tenth wards; we have got a
good sized list Of POpulists which will
form the nucleus of ward organization
We may say that in this connection the
precincts are organized in each Of the
last named wards, and only lacks the
ward organization.
There seems to be some confusion as to
the make up OF the members Of the Fourth
congressional committee; we do not know
who the chairman of the committee is and
possibly left off some members who was
not invited to the conference last week
of the executive board In this city. The
county members had an entirely different
list Of the city members Of the committee,
who were all absent from such meeting
Mr.. s. w. Powell announced that he would
try and get the members of the committee
together during the coming week and pre-
pare the call Of this congressional district.
We would call the attention of those in
terested to the notice given April 13, and
published several times in the columns of
The Representative. BY this the Fourth
District is entitled to four delegates and
four alternates The call adds:
1t will of course devolve upon the COM
mittees of the congressional districts to
fix the basis of representation from the
counties comprising their several districts.
Our committee will publish and furnish
the Primary Election Law to the chair
man Of each county committee for his
guidance, and while personally we re-
gard the thing a fraud. we would never
theless urge that its provisions be strictly
complied with at this time

CHRIST AND MONEY CHANGERS.

Mr.. p. P. Dobozy, of West Plains, Mo-,
has issued a powerful address to the vot-
ers of Howell county, setting forth the
evils of our present political and hnan-
cial situation.
We extract from this address a most
interesting paragraph, which explains a
passage in the New Testam mt which most
people do not understand.
1--WE are told In scriptures that Christ
drove the money changers out of the tenn
pie This passage carries with it more
important points than most of the theolo-
gians care to admit. In order to under
stand the passage we have to go back to
Moses, who passed law levying tax of
one-half shekel on every male Jew oyer
20 years of age-Exodus, xxx: 1915. The
shekel was a Jewish silver coin contain
ing about so cents of our money, which
had to be paid into the sanctuary (high
priesD.
Between Moses and Christ about 1900
years elapsed, during which time the Jew
ish tribes had under gone considerable
political convulsions; hence they could not
coin these silver shekels and they became
scarce, which the money spectators
bought up (cornered), and when the poor
Jew had to pay his tax he had to get his
shekel from the money sharks, who
charged him from 500 to 700 per cent in
Greek or Roman money; the Greek money
was not acceptable; under the law it
had to be paid in silver shekels to the high
priest, who returned the shekels to the
money dealers to be kept to go aroud the
circle, and divided the profits between
the high priest and the money changers.
The same kind Of swindle contamin-
ated our legislative halls in Washington,
D. c., on the 25th day of February, 1852,
when they passed an act depreciating the
greenback by prohibiting it's acceptance
for import duties and for interest on the
bonds, and ordered them to be paid in
gold, which was also scarce and cornered,
just like the Jewish shekel was."-Tom
Watsons Paper.
