A Pythian Banquet.

Acme Lodge, NJ. Is, K. of P,
was visited last evening by the
Grand Chancellor, Mr.. j. e.
Clyde, of Wardner, who addressed
the Knights and further instructed
them in the work of the order
The occasion was made an event
to give banquet in honor of the
distinguished visitor. A most stump
tuous spread had been prepared in
the lower hall, where the members
and their families and the invited
guests assembled after the close of
lodge. Fifty covers were laid and
each seat was occupied. The tables,
were decorated with flowers, and
were loaded with good things, and
arranged in the nature of a horse
shoe, with the Grand Chancellor,
Mr.. Clyde, at the head. Upon
introduction by Mr.. Henry, Mr..
Clyde delivered an address before
the banqueters explaining the prin-
ciples of the order and was frequent
ly ap2lauded. His words were i'm
pressive and gave expression to
many noble thoughts suggested by
the story of Damon and fythies.
After justice had been done to the
good things on the table, the hall
was cleared for dancing viii, h
pastime was enjoyed until late
hour.
The function was highly credit
able to the local Knights.
The editor of the HERALD and
family acknowledge the honor of
being guests on the occasion.

Mr.. Miller, an Iowa man, has

Who said Idaho was dry? By

on the mountains last week but did
not see much game, They saw
bear but did not get it.
Robert Eaton seems to be doing
a rushing business taking rasseng-

A CONGRESSIONAL SHAKING UP.

A CONGRESSIONAL SHAKING UP.
During the fight over the reap
portionment bills in the House OF
Representatives very signinean'
truth was brought out, and that, too
by Republicans as we'll as Democrats
1t is that q majority of the members
of that body have become mere gu
donations, to be moved or stilled at
the pleasure Of few men recognized
as the leaders, or "whips," of the
msjority party. Also, it was charged,
that the House as whole had in a
great measure lost its independence,
and was under the domination OF the
Senate. The remarks of MIR. Hep
burn, of Iowa, IS reported in the
dispatches, presents these ideas pretty
strongly. He charged that the House
was no longer q deliberstive body,
having become so bulky as to lose its
deliberative functions. The whole
scheme and place Of the House. urder
the Constitution, Mr.. Hepburn de-
clared, was subverted, destroyed,
and annihilated by the rules of the
House. Instead of representing his
constituents, every member surren'
dered his political power into the
bar Dis Of others, and was unable to
be heard on any measure, without
the consent Of the officials and com'
mittees to whom the power was sur
rendered. The complete surrender
Of individual power was due to the
: members themselves and not to the
Speakers. He further asserted that
members Of the Senate were interest
ed in seeing the House membership
further increased, for that carried
with il an increase Of the influence
and power Of each individual Sena'
tor, and the further domination of
the House by the Senate.
The venerable Galusha Grow, OF
Pennsylvania. the NestOr Of the
House, also very pointedly drove it
into that body when, in his speech
on the reapportionment bill. he COM
pared the workings Of the House in
the early days, when the membership
was far more limited, with the dis
orderly and unrepresentative charac'
ter of the body to-day. Taken all in
all the past few weeks will be memo
rable ones in the history OF Congress
and we may look for rapid increase
in the list of free lsnces from now on
The free lance. (Fredericksburg, Va.) 1885-1926, 1901-01-15

THE course pursued by Secretary
Of War Root in refusing publicity to
the affairs in his department will be
denouced by ell Acknowledged con
sentative people. Ever since the
Neely:rascslity was brought TO light
it has been asserted that greater
frauds remain concealed, aud that,
too, frauds with which the War
Department is directly connected
Good government has nothing to
keep concealed, and this action on
the part of Secretary Root is both
suspicious and censurSble.
The free lance. (Fredericksburg, Va.) 1885-1926, 1901-01-15

TIE city authorities are meditating
over the matter as to whether or not
they shall accepht the bid for sewer
age of the New York party who was
the lowest bidder, but who failed to
accompany his bid with the required
check as q guarantee of good faith
We observe from the report OF the
proceedingslthsta Virginia bidderwas
next lowest, and that there was but g
small difference between the two bids.
With no other material considera'
tons to weigh we think the city
would do we'll to deal with the Vir-
eiuis parties. Aside from the senti'
ment touching homo encouragement
, it is no small matter to have the sat-
fsfsction Of knowing that you can
easier put your finger on a Virginia
contractor, and, IL the worst comes
to the worst, and court proceedings
should be found necessary before the
contract was completed, it is better
to be in the Virginia courts than
in those of another State. By the
way, it occurs to us that there were
very few home bidders on this work
Was it because the Committee did
not desire the bids af our own people
that no advertisement for bids
appeared in our city .papersi The
advertisements were all sent tC
apers at distance.

Hill For President.

Bird s. Ooler, Comptroller Of New
York city, was in Washington Saturday
and saw nearly all the Democratic Sem
ators and many members Of the House.
He told them that David B. Hill lie sp
avowed candidate for the nomination
for President in 1904. Some knew 1t
already. he declared that Senator
Hills friends were at work all over the
country, and that when the time came
TO name the next national ticket there
would be practically no opposition to
Mr.. Hill.
