Our Congressman.
(Corrsspendenee.)

Under the above caption, the Free
Press OF June -, makes some very
remarkable statements, and argues
from certain facts in a somewhat sur
prising manner. We ventureto copy !
some of these and comment upon
them Speaking of Mr.. DeArmond
this article SAYS The has, by force OF
his genius and blameless private life,
forged to the front in congress until
he is deservedly regarded as one OF
the leaders of democracy, OF the mi
nority party.
This is high commentator from a
political foe, even if he be a personal
friend A little below the statement
is made. however, that 1.-The fruits OF
his labors are not sufficiently APP
parent to justify a life tenure. Be
sides it is not democratic. Rotation
| in office is one of the Jeffersonian sim
plicities. Somehow, these state
ments seem just a little irreconcilable.
II our congressman has been OF SUI
ficient Importance to make his way
to the front in the Congress OF the
United States OF America, it would
seem to the unpreiudiced mind that
he must have done something. When
he is chosen one of a committee TO
deal with one of the most important
cases which has come before the
house in many years, that OF Brig
ham III. Roberts. it would seem that
he has gained the confidence and es-
TEEN OF the representative men OF the
Icountry without distinction OF party.
Concerning the matter Of rotation IN
office. it should be sufficient 70 say,
THAT before the war the southern
states were generally regarded az
democratic. Yet no one thing was
more marked in their policy, nothing
else contributed more To their power,
a power greatly in excess OF that
which belonged to them by the size
and Importance of their constituent
ries than the fact that they kept men
who had deserved well Of their coun-
try in Congress for long, practically
/ life long periods. Referring TO The
ten years during which Judge De
Almond has been our representative
and his work during that time the
following remarkable sentence ap-
pears: If he could achieve nOthiI 2

uency during all that time. any one

Getting Together.

Washington, Oc5. 3-Favorable news
has reached Washington from the Euro
pean cha7cellories, indicating that a
complete agreement as to China is with
in sight. The agreement will be on the
basis OF the proposition laid down by
Secretary Hay in his note OF July 3, and
the subsequent Mt notes treating on that
subject. The accord of Russia with the
United States is more complete than
was anticipated at first, and the reports
show that all Of the European nations
probably are placing themselves in po-
sition to take advantage OF the opening
made by the United States and soon will
be ready to begin negotiations for set
tlement with the Chinese government.
The Russians already have given notice
Of such purpose, and while the text of
the French note on this subject, referred
to in today's press dispatches, has not
reached the state department, the Off
Gals are satisfied that this is correctly
reported. and that France, like Russia,
is ready to negotiate at once.
that government has been misunder-
stood or it has sustained change Of
mind. Possibly the former is the case,
but, however that may he, it is quito GER
tain from the advices which have reach
cd Washington today that the German
government, upon careful inspection Of
the plans for settlement projected by
the United States, finds therein nothing
inconsistent with the German aspira-
tions. Therefore. it may be expected
that Germany. too, will be prepared soon
to join in this common movement to-
ward a settlement. 1t may be stated
that altogether the prospects Of an ad
justment of the Chinese difficulty with
out resort to formal war are very much
brighter than they were one week ago.

chairman OF the republican national
committee. today made his first address
in Chicago since his return from New
York. He spoke at a noon meeting OF
commercial mon and retail salesmen.
The senator said the only man he knew
who approximated an emperor was
Richard Croker. He charged Mr..
Croker with fostering the interests Of
the ice trust, and then added that the
ice combination was trust il there was
such thing as a trust. He said little
about imperialism, asserting that it was
false issue and bugaboo.
Mr.. Hanna said:
II do not want to talk about imperial
ism, my friends. That is played out.
1t is bugaboo. 1t was intended to be
a bugaboo. 1t was intended to deceive
the American people. 1t is an impossi-
