CONGRESS AT WORK.
Doings of Our National Lawmakers
Day By Day.
THE HOUSE


Sixth Day-Chairman Payne, Of the
ways and means committee. presented
to his Republican colleagues OF the
committee a revenue tariff bill for the
Philippines, which he had draw
meet the conditions of the recent Su-
prcme Court decision.
The Payne bill is quite brief, with
two main features, viz: applying the
Digley law as against Philippine ex-
ports to this country, and applying the
Philippine commissions tariff scheduls
to goods entering the Philippines. A
further section grants rebate OF GUS
toms tax on goods which have paid aa
internal revenue tax in this country.
There is no proviso in the measure that
it shall be temporary, so that the rates
if imposed, would be applicable uat
Congress otherwise acted.
During the discussion on the bill 1t
developed that Mr.. Russell, of Coarec-
ticut, and some other Republican mem
bers, strongly favored proviso 20 the
bill offered by Mr.. Payne. by which
the tariff rates would be scaled down
from Is to 20 per cent on goods passing
between the United States and the
Philippines.
This was urged on the ground that
Great Britain now had 40 per cent OF
the trade Of the Philippines. and Ger
many and other European countries
held considerable percentage, while
the United States had but s per cent
OF the trade.
Seventh Day:-Speaker Henderson,
at the session of the House, announced
the appointment Of the committees.
Unusually the committees are not ap-
pointed until after the holiday recess,
but Speaker Henderson had the situa-
tion we'll in hand when Con-
gress met and having COM
pleted the lists he announced them.
The early appointment of the commit
tees will facilitate legislation consid-
erably, as the committees can now or
ganize and &c. their work under way
before the holiday adjournment.
A resolution for the distribution OF
the Presidents message was made the
occasion OF general speech on the
Philippines by the venerable ex-
Speaker G. A. Grow, of Pennsylvania.
Mr.. Burke, of South Dakota, formal
ly announced the death OF Senator
Kyle and as a mark OF respect the
House Immediately adjourned. The ad-
journment was until Friday. The re-
cess for the holidays will be from De-
cember 19 to January 6.
Eighth Day:-The session Of the
House was brief and devoid Of interest.
Nothing will be done now until after
the holidays.
Ninth Day-Chairman Payne, OF the
ways and means committee, and Mr..
Richardson, Of Tennessee, the ranking
Democrat Of the committee, were en-
gagged in preparing the majority end
minority reports, respectively, on the
Philippine tariff bill.
MIR. Payne's report will not be of an
argumentative character, and will be
confined to an explanation OF the new
bill. The need Of revenue for the is
lands, because of the extensive wor,; OF
development and the establishment Of
schools, is set forth.
The minority report promises to be
quite extensive. taking up the general
subjects CT colonial policy, imperialism
and protection.

Tie best exercise In the world Is
walking.
A person WHO knows how 70 walk IN
~tclligcntly can get along without n
gymnasium. No other form of exercise
brings so many muscles into play and
develops tlcm so normally. The most
popular games are those in which
walking forms n prominent part. Golf,
croquct aud In n sense cricket and even
bicycling merely give an excuse for
walking.
Every one knows how TO walk prop
erly. 1t is because of carelessness that
70 many walk badly. The body should
be carried erect. the chest well out, the
head back, while the arms should
swing freely at the sides. The pace
should be regulated to ones strength.
Every N should walk fast enough
and far enough to get the body in a
comfortable glow. To get the best re-
suits from walking M should give his
undivided attention TO 1t. In other
words, he should walk for the pleasure
Of 1t and not carry worries with him.
Excessive walking is Injurious. New
er walk just after n heavy meal or aft
ter violent exercise. And after a walk
1t is well to rest for 10 or Is minutes
before taking up severe mental work.

.rFlclAL PAPER OF FERGUS COUNTY.
InI NslI OF GOMLk AND PALNA.

General Gomez. the grizzled old hero
of the Cuban struggle for liberty ar
rived in New York last week, accom-
panied by General Palma, They were
rendered a dinner by the Union League
club. at which the former made a brief
speech IN which he expressed his graft
tude to the American people for their
assistance in making Cuba free.
Unlike some politicians in this coun-
try. General Gomez does not doubt the
sincerity Of the administration in its
efforts 10 start Cuba on the right road
in establishing n government Of her
own. o has he any fault tofind, The
old general was greatly moved by the
reception accorded him and was almost
touched To tears" As he expressed il,
One statement hcmadc was significant.
There are many who hold TO the belief
that it is only a question of time when
Cuba will become a part of the United
States. and largely from the people'sow
desire in the matter. General Gomezis
quoted as saying: Every Cuban born
and bred lived and died with the idea
of Cuba libre before him, with the hope
of the people being free and relieved OF
the yoke of oppression. Cuba and the
United States belong together. 1t is
only a question of gravitation when
they will be one" These are strange
though prophetic words, and coming,
as they do, from one who has fought
desperately and offered his life for
Cuban libre, mean a good deal. Even
with the precious boon OF freedom and
independence he evidently believes that
ultimately the Cubans will find their
greatest liberty, security, prosperity
and happiness under the folds of old
glory. And what a tribute this is in
itself to our institutions and the liber.
ties we enjoy, especially when the dema-
gogues are prone in their venom to
shout imperialism on the slightest
pretext.
General Gomez says il is realized fully
that Cuba canno get along without the
United States, and when asked, as
there any feeling Of apprehension in
Cuba with regard to the intentions of
the United States?" he replied: There
is no question about it, Cuba trusts i'm
plicitly in the honor of the American
people"
The words of one whose heart is
wrapped up in Cuba will do much
toward dispelling the fear that Cuba is
not going to receive just treatment by
this country. She will be given every
aid possible within the limits of safety.
Let these people try their hand at self
government. IL will be a good educa-
ton for them, even If they fail. If,
eventually, they wish to become a part
of the United States it is more than
probable that they will be allowed to
do so. General Gomez says he is not a
candidate for president of the new re-
public. He favors General Pamla.

whether the author preferred lamb or

Mr.. Stephenson replied. acknowledge

him and saying:

woman sitting disconsolatcly on n rock

Something new may be learned every
day. II is now said to be practically
demonstrated that yellow fever is not
contagious. AT least. that is the con-
clusion arrived at by the medical corps
of the United States army since the
occupation of Cuba. Surgeon General
Sternberg says that in the past the dis
ease has been fought blindly and in
ignorance, and that most of the means
taken to prevent infection have been
wholly useless: that the disease is not
impaired by contact or close association
with the sick. Experiments have prov
en- that the disease is transmitted by
mosquitoes from diseased TO healthy
persons. and If one can escape the bite
OF these disease-carrying insects he is
safe, IL matters not how closely he nav
be associated with the most malignant
eases. This. il true, is a very important
discovery and will aid materially in
supprcssing the disease in those regions
where its prevalence is almost an annual
occurrence.
