Ri preventative Shaffroth, of COL,

RI preventative Shaffroth, of Col,
is an enthusiast aud an expert on the
subject of irrigation. He has intro
duced bill providing for the conStruc
tion of reservoirs in the arid sections Of
the West and for the disposal Of the
public lands reclaimed thereby under
the homestead law. He thinks it an
erroneous idea that money spent in ir-
rigation only benefit the state in which
it is spent. In his own words:-"What
benefits one state largely profits another.
Thus epriching now idle and useless
ground would result in the providing
for homes and great future to tbous-
ands and thousands of homeless, help
less and penniless men in every state in
the Union"

WASHINGTON LETTER.

FROM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT.
WASHINGTON, DEcMEBER 3Rp, 1900.
Few sessions Of Congress have opened
more quietly than that which conven sd
today. Advance knowledge of the fact
that adjournment was to Immediately
follow the opening Of the session, in
honor of the memory of the late Sena-
tor Davis, of MINI. and Gear, Of Iowa,
served to lessen attendance both on the
floor of the House and Senate and in
the galleries and consequently to lessen
interest in the short proceedings.
Catoctin clarion., 1900-12-06

There is constant watchfulness on
the part of Senators to get better seats
for themselves Applications are often
filed by Senators for the desirable seats
held by retiring Senators, several years
in advance of the date of their retire
ment, and for Senator who hasa good
seat, to get sick, is always the signal
for applications to be fled for his seat,
in case it should be vacated. Senator
Hanna, who has had a less desirable
seat, filed claim for the seat occupied
by the late Senator Davis, about two
years ago, and it is now his. He did
not dream, however, that theseat would
come to him through the death of Sen
ator Davis. The claim was filed be-
cause Senator Davis had filed one for
the seat of Senator Hoar, who at the
time talked of retiring on account OF
his health.

gress sixteen years, and he gave notice
today that when the present term expires
he will retire from public life.
In accepting the nomination he made a
brief speech outlining the issues OF thu
present campaign, and said Imperialism.
and not the financial question, was the
paramount issue. He opposed a colonial
form Of government in the Philippine.
Imperialism and freedom can not go h nd
in hand, and q republican government can
not control colonies and live. lie said
II was not a good example that the repub-
lican party had set before the Cubans in
reference TO the postodlee emhezzlemeats,
and inferred that the Puerto R!c1ns would
have a bad opinion OF the methods Of
