there are many countries which have

There seems tosbe a decided disagree

tai cost OF the Fifty-fourth congress
for the salaries and expenses Of the
two houses was s., So, GIT, Of which the
senate cost s2,273,07S and the house
IS, 1888. This does not include the
$3,67S, 128 or their printing, nor the
1882, 172 for those perquisites grouped
under the sheltering head Of ''miscel-
laneous." This is at the rate, per cap
ita, of 1922 for the senators, and &c.,
3OS for representatives, the extra cost
of the former being due to their su-
perior dignity and consequent notions
of comfort. The total cost averages
$956,775 month for the two years, but,
as the sessions occupy but about half
the entire time, the cost is about $712,-
900 for each month of the session, of
which $275, 900 is chargeable to the SEN
ate and $437,O00 to the house. From
these figures those interested In sta
tistics may ascertain how much it

More Evidence of Corruption I'm

TOPEKA, Kan, April 13.-Much additional
evidence Of boodling was dew Sped at today s
session of the legislative bribery investigat-
ing committee. A law giving the committee
power to imprison witnesses who refuse
to answer questions was unearthed and used
with effect. E. C.lSWeflep, speaker pro TEN of

several members making mysterious visits

Davis, Of Wilson county, as he assembled the
stairs one day and Davis told him he had
been invited to support the Hackney amend
ment, and that If. he should do so there was
some money in 1t for him. Davis said that
Frank Strickland, Of Wyandotte, had come
after him. Strickland the witness said was
reputed to be "handled' by B. P Wag-
goner, who had rooms on the second floor
Eben Mccarthy, a house page, said that
he had carried notes from members of the
house to a man named Wilson. He read two

received 500 for opposing a certain bill and
that he was to receive $500 more At the
close of the session he exhibited 81 600 which
he said he had made during the session.
]. M. Doyle, Of Republic county, testified
that he was approached by a stranger be-
fore the house had voted on the stockyards

AN EXPENSIVE CZAR

Cars come high, whether they rule
Russia or the house of representatives
of the United States Our car set out
to 1naugurate economies. The dear, old
gullible public were tickled with
sketches Of a crowd of frantic congress
men, ravenous for the tax money in the
treasury before whose doors stood the
burly car, with only Joe Cannon by
his side to hold the ThermopyIaean pass
against the Persian horde. And the
public applauded and wondered what
would be its fate were it not for the
Little Father and his valiant aid. Still
the money appropriated by that self
same checked, repealed and czar-ruIed
congress exceeded by some thirty or
forty million dollars that taken from
the treasury by any former congress,
not excluding the cars own inglorious
Fifty-frst, of malodorous memory.
Now we have the charming spectacle
of 355 representatives, muzzled and cor

painted oceans, because the ukase Of

be transacted by the house until the
senate shall have returned Mr.. Ding
ley's abominable tariff, mended.

of other denominations. In vain Jerry
Simpson gesticuIates, uluIates and vo-

weeks. During two Of them theshouse

STILL APOLOGIZING.

Our sedate contemporary, the Pioneer
Press, somewhat tardily joins in the
chorus Of the ApoIogists and adds it's
diagnosis to those that have come from
papers Of its faith since the municipal
reverses its party met with last week.
1t lacks, however, it's usual adroitness
1t is as pregnant with negatives as
was ever any bungling lawyers an
swer. There were Democratic
victories" but they were not
80 general as might have been
expected" and were due, anyway,
to stayat-home Republicans who are
always '1ethargic'' when issues are
only local; still there has not been an
election since the war that has not
been followed by an apparent reaction"
But this reaction, after all, is only zap
parent" The whole constituency is in
love with the forty-day-o admins
tration, and, anyhow prosperity is re-
turning" So there was no need for
any reaction, and if there were one. the
voters will never Endorse free silver
and free riot" Really, our contem-
porary rather eXcels all Of it's fellows
in experiences in apologizing. We COM
mend to it the audacity of the Tribune
as the better dodge. Just stoutly affirm
that any one with "giIt-edged credit
and good collateral can get all the
prosperity he wants

however, attributes it all to Mr. Cleve-
land, or, to quote its own words, to
the unreasoning discomfort created by
Clevelandism." BY some curious pro-
cess of ratiocination it concludes that
that which it alleged brought defeat
last year, brings victories this year.
"Clevelandism brought about Demo-
cratic Reorganization and disintegra-
ton, still the Democratic victories are
due to this same 'balefuI influence
and its baleful influence is not vet ex-
hausted." The reaction seems to have
caused quite as much mental confu-
sion in the latest Republican recruit
as it has in the oldest veterans.

OREGON DENIED.
Another of the Big BattIeships
Comes to Grief.

WASHINGTON, April 13-Word reached
the navy department today from Commander
Whiting, in charge Of the Puget Sound naval
station, state of Washington, that the battle
ship Oregon had grounded while approaching
the dock into which she was about to go to
have her bottom seFaped and painted. The
dispatch added that the vessel had her frames
or ribs and bottom plating, in the vicinity of
the forward turret. bent, but it did not in
any other way indicate whether the damage
had been serious. This will be determined
by a thorough investigation which Secretary
Long has ordered to be made. His orders are
to report the amount of damage and cost of
repair.
The impression at the navy department is
that the accident occurred some time yester-
day afternoon and that, later in the day the
officers OF the vessel probably succeeded in
getting the vessel off the ground and inside
the dock. The Oregon had been in the water
for over a year, and had been waiting for
the spring tides to take the dock. She was
IN command of Capt. Barker, who had Just
been relieved from duty at the Mare Island
yard and was on his first voyage on the Ore
gon. The Puget Sound dock is the only one
on the Pacific coast large enough to accom-
moqate ship the size Of the Oregon.
Inc opinion CT Commodore Hichboru of the
construction bureau. from the infornnatsonf at
nand, IS that the damage to the ship IS not
Serious and even should some of her frames
pc bent. that necessarily will net require that
Lhey De repaired at the dock. Should this
pc necessary, IL would require considerable

our scandalous treatment of the arbi-
tration treaty.
1t is no great disappointment to the
public, or to anybody who has taken
Mr. McKfnleys measure, to learn what
his action in this matter is. Every act
of his since the campaign for the Re-
publican nomination began has shown
that he knows little and cares less
about the financial question, that he
is impatient of it's consideration, and
that he regards it as one Of those minor
matters to be showed aside and tenn
ported with, or even used to placate
faction Of his own party. If anything
were needed to complete the disgust Of
the country, it would be found in the
can administration, pledged above all
things to the maintenance of the gold
standard, and to opposition to free
coinage at the ratio Of Is to l, chooses
to be represented in the society of the
nations by a commission of which at
least two out Of three members are ar
dent believers in the financial platform
Of the opposition. The process of MAX
ing converts to the free silver theory
which has been going forward rapidly
since the 4th of March, will be acceie-
| rated beyond all estimate by this act.
Mr.. Mckinley may be said to have
ranged himself formally with the free
silver people, and to have completed
the betrayal Of his own party and the
humiliation of every sound money man
who cast his vote for him. The Ding
ley tariff bill and these appointments
are too big spikes in the lid of the
coffin of the Republican party. What
else, however, could any man who vot-
ed for Mr.. Mckinley on his public rec
ord have expected?
