WASHINGTON WHIsPERINGs. The late
Representative Milliken introduced some
nineteen bills in the present Congress be-
fore his death. There has been some in
quiry here as to whether these bills will
have to be reintroduced after Mr.. Milliken' S
successor has taken his seat. 1t will be
Mr.. Burleigh's privilege to reintroduce
them as he chooses or he may not intro
duce them at all. IH any event they will
go before the respective committees for
whatever action each committee may
choose to take. Mr.. Burleigh can, if he
chooses, urge the passage of the bills for
pensions and for other purposes, intro
duced by Mr.. Milliken, as he would if
they were introduced by himself .. Sena-
tor Gallinger of New Hampshire has pre-
sented an amendment which he proposes
to offer to the tariff bill against goods
which are the product of convict labor..,.
Harold Sewall, L. 5. minister to Hawaii,
called at the State department May 18th
to say farewell before his departure for
his post. His family is now awaiting him
IN San Francisco and will accompany Mr..
SeWall to Honolulu. ..... The Democratic
members OF the State committee of finance
were in consultation for two hours Satur-
day on the tariff bill. They decided not
to offer substitute for the finance COM
mittee bill, but to propose amendments,
which while they reduce the rates,
would, if added to the rates of the viii
son law, provide sufficient revenue to
meet the demands of the government.
The Democratic members are specially
critical of the sugar, glass and wool
schedules and will offer amendments on
all of them. Mr.. Mallory, Senator elect
from Florida, is gold Democrat. This
will make four of that kidney in the
Senate.

The Last Bugle Call.

The st. Louis GIobe-Democrat has
discovered that the last summons to
battle in the civil war was a bugle call
to charge given by Nathaniel .Sisson
on the field of Appomattox.
Mr.. Sisson enlisted when the war
broke out and at it's close was bugler
under Custer. His regiment was in the
saddle before day on the eventful Sth
day Of April and began to skirmish
with the enemy. An hour later they
reached the position from which the
memorable call to charge was blown.
The next moment two of General
Gordon S aids rode out in advance of the
column. One of them carried towel
fastened to q musket. General Gordon
stated afterward that the towel was
soiled and ragged; but, old and torn as
it was, it carried message of peace to
the whole country
General Custer, seeing this flag of
truce, halted his charging column and
rode alone to the tent of the Confeder-
ate general When he came out, he said
to General Kapehart, uncovering his
head, General Lee is treating for ca
pithlation.
The war was over.
The men nearest TO him caught the
quiet words and burst into a frenzied
cheer. They were men who had fought
bravely, but who thanked God now
that the war was ended. The cheer
swept down the valley, and the hills
shook with the shout which meant
peace.
Let US hope that Nathaniel Sisson's
bugle call to battle on that April morn
ing was the last that shall ever summon
brother 20 charge against brother in
this land of ours

THE BEST WORK FOR CONVICTS.

The people of this State are confronted by a
serious problem which must be solved without
regard TO sentimental considerations. What is
IN he done with our convicts, who since the
Prison Labor article Of the Constitution went
into effect at the beginning Of the year, have
been all but entirely idle, Is question which
must have immediate attention. Moreover, It
T., question which must be looked at In a
practical way There are hundreds of things
which It might be desirable for cOnyicts to
work upon They might be taught TO weave
rugs, they might be set to making uniforms for
the National Guard. they might provide brooms
for all the street cleaning departments in the
State Theorists will propose numberless in
dustrles from which the prisoners would bene
taee provided it could develop a market here
or overcome the prejudice Of free laborers and
consumers there. But none Of these PROPOSE
lions. fine as they are. meet the actual need OF
the situation. The problem which confronts
us Is not what the convicts might be trained
into doing at some future tine or what would
be the ideal occupation for them, but what
with their present aptitudes they can best do
which will be benefit to the State, keep them
occupied at hard labor and avoid competition
with present honest Industries. We are con-
WINGED that the one kind Of labor which best
answers all these requirements Is that of road
making
We are greatly in need Of improved highways
IN every part Of the State. We have many
hundred men anxious for something to do.
The supply and the demand are coexistent.
Why not give the prisoners the work they want
and the people the roads they need? In no
other way are highways likely to be properly
improved. The tax rate is at present so high
as to make legislators timid about approprlat-

prise. AS the Governor says: ut has dragged
''itself through nearly a third Of century, al
"ways clamoring for money. until the people
'have nearly despalred OF its completion, and
shave come TO regard it as an affection from
(which time affords but little hope of relief"
UnQuestionably the people would rejoice to have
a different prospect open before their eyes. The
Capitol could be finished to the last leaf in the
carvings within year, we suppose, If some one
person had full control and authority to spend
during that period what will have to be spent
sooner or later. But If year seems bewil-
deringly short time to those who have been wont
to act in this matter as though ''the secular
leisures Of Methuselah' were at their disposal,
perhaps limit of two years would not seriously
raise the death rate from heart failure. AT all
events limit ought to be set a financial basis
laid for the completion of the Job by contract,
and as much money appropriated outright as
rapid and continuous work throughout the year
will require Not only the credit and comfort
of the State but true economy demands new
treatment Of an old problem.
