COLLEGE NOTES.

SSL1G0I wv GSs
The reception given in the chapel

The AUTOCkAT OF THE NATION
speaker Reeds Power Under Present
Rules ~ Unbounded-The Govcrn-
ment seed Distribution Farce
should be Abolished.

John l.. Wilson, the only republican
member of congress from Washington
state, is not having an easy time in his
attempt to control the patronage under
this administration, Gays Washington
d. c., correspondent to the Seattle Times.
The little man from Washington state is
really in peck of trouble. While Mr.
Mckinley doubtless recognizes him. and
will continue to do so, as the chief pat
ronage distributor in the state, Mr..
Wilson's pathway will be by no means
strewn with roses. There are good
many greedy otiiceseekers still in the
republican ranks in the state which Mr..
Wilson represents in the United States
senate. In view of the fact that Mr.
Wilson will be candidate for reelection
and that he is in the wrong part of the
state to succeed himself, he is having
anything but an easy time in dealing out
Offices where they will result to his bene
fit and not to the benefit Of some opposi
ton candidate who is likely to spring up
in his own party and attempt to defeat
him, if the next Washington legislature
should he republican, which is considered
extremely doubtful here. OF course Mr.
Wilson has abandoned the idea Of moving
from Spokane to Seattle in order to he in
position to represent that portion of the
state in the United States senate. lie is
aware of the fact that he would be looked
upon purely and simply as carpet bag.
ger and has given up the plan OF making
this change. OF course he has full
knowledge of the fact that it will be al
most impossible for him to remain in
Spokane with Mr.. Turner still resident
of that city and succeed himself in the
senate when his present term expires. 1t
is certain that Turner will not give vii.
son any assistance and it is also certain
that Mr.. Squire will make another race
for the senatorship as resident of Seattle
and the location will be in his favor and
detrimental to Mr.. Wilson.
1t is suspected here that Mr.. Wilson
considers James Hamilton Lewis dan
gerous man and for this reason has not
treated the Seattle congressman with any
degree of cordiality since his advent in
the lower house. There is a possibility
that Mr.. Wilson fears that Mr.. Lewis
may have senatorial aspirations and with
an anti-republican legislature there is no
doubt that the present congressman from
Seattle will come to the front as sena-
torial candidate and with every prospect
OF winning, il he tries. 1t is not known
here, however, whether Mr.. Lewis has
ever given the matter a thought. 1t is
possible that MIR. Lewis will be satisfied
to remain in the lower branch of Con-
gress, though his friends in Washington
state, should there be an opportunity for
him to succeed. may insist upon his 60.

conclusion OF the discussion the vote
could he taken. II the bill should be
beaten, the speaker would be vindicated
in his opposition. II it should pass, the
responsibility would be with the House
and with each individual member thereof
who is answerable to his constituents.
At any rate, the members would have
been allowed the privilege Of recording
their position, "a favor or right which
they do not now enjoy. Something must
be done, unless the House OF Representa-.
tives is to dwindle to an aggregation of
mere puppets-the useless, idle servants
OF a great people. Something must be

An Original Aisshtp story.

To residents of Marble Siding, in
Stevens county, belongs the distinction OF
ringing a change on the "airship' story
says the Spokane Spokesman Review.
Within the past six months the airshlp
has become wellnigh ubiquitous. 1t has
been seen from the orange orchards of
California, from the pineries of Maine,
and from the everglades of Florida. But
always ut nighttime, proving through
the aerial darkness, but displaying vsri-
GUS colored lights amids hips. abaft and
aprow. Why the mysterious navigators
should take pains to roam at night, and
yet hang out signals to acquaint star
gazers OF their presence, has not been
satisfactorily explained still, so ran the
story and all the witnesses testified alike.
The first dash Of airship originality
comes now from Marble Siding. The
aerial ship was seen by all the residents
of that place, in broad daylight. 1t had
at the Prov contrivance bearing close
resemblance of a snow pillow, no doubt
to push dem clouds away" 1t sailed
sereney and swiftly on, not deignlng to

The AutOcrat of Congress.

The car, like rule exercised by Speaker
Reed has been the occasion of much com
ment Of late. Endowed with a plenti-
tude of power beside which the President
OF the United States seems mean and in
significant, the Speaker of the House of
Representatives is to-day the autocrat Of
congress. lie is the absolute arbiter of
the destinies of all legislation. The
threatening danger of this oneman pow
er is most clearly and cogently indicated
in the current number Of The Forum by
Mr.. Henry Litchfeld West-an authority
on national politics. Mr.. West shows
about, and cites two recent striking ex.
amples-the Pacific railroads Funding
Bill, and the Nicaragua Bill-of what
could be done and what could not be
done, according to the pleasure OF the
speaker.
As remedy for this dangerous one
man power Mr.. West suggests that "the
absolute power of naming the committees
should he divorced from the speaker, and
Entrusted to committee named at the
caucuses Of the two leading parties in the
House. Ii it be successfully contended
that this arrangement, although working
admirably in the senate, would not OPP
crate satisfactorily in an unwieldy body
like the House, then it would at least be
wise to place the speaker in position
where he must regard the respectful de-
mands OF his colleagues. When, for ex-
ample, he was presented, as he was re-
Gently, with the appeal OF more than a
majority OF members to grant considera-
ton to the Nicaragua Canal Bill and to
the public-buildng bills upon the calen-
dsr, he should be required to yield TO
that combined request. Great as he is,
he is not greater than all the men who
placed him in his position. II needs be,
the rule might be 30 framed as to compel
his obedience only to a majority OF the
members OF his own party; thus reliev-
ing him from the possibility Of being held

measures desired by the House could be
brought up for consideration; the length

THE HERALD failed to receive any seeds
this year from the government seed store
for the reason that it was on the wrong
side OF the political fence, but our neigh
Dor. who is staunch republican, re-
ceiyed from Senator John l.. Wilson an
envelope containing a package each OF
sweet corn, tomato, lettuce, radish, beet
and turnip seeds. He likewise received
a similar remembrance from ex Congress.
man Doolittle, but as he has only vote
and no garden he was somewhat at loss
what to do with them until the planting
season had gotten so far along that he
concluded they would make good feed for
the birds and tossed them into the street.
This again brings up the question,
"Why are they sent"
1t cannot be to introduce new and val.
liable plants and products to the farmer
and gardener for the seeds are notorious.
" not OF the best varieties, and last year
an ill.smelling scandal was ventilated
over the contract of one scotsman with
the government who persisted in furnish
ing seeds which were 90 ancient that the
vital spark had fled.
1t cannot be to help the seedsmen of
the country for they insist that the sys.
TEN is runous to their business.
1t cannot be that any congressman ex,
poets to influence any vote with few
cents worth of common garden seeds,
and if not can anyone tell why the gov
eminent spends millions of dollars an
nuslly to keep up this farce. The
revenues of the country are inadequate
to meet the expenses, and yet this costly
folly is maintained by congress smen who
distribute on partisan lines seeds which
every citizen is taxed to furnish. Such
generosity is hard to appreciate.
