Lobbying Season in Washington Now in Full Force

no eyelids worth mentioning, but all BUSH
ness. First, she gave a tea. Notice that
IN fighting the battle she engaged the
women first. Then she gave a ball. Then
she held a reception, everybody invited
BY this time she had learned exactly which
geese could hatch a golden egg. Now she
has cards out for a dinner, at which covers
are to be laid only for the necessary geese.
Her campaign, therefore, is nearly over.
This is the only way, not because of the
mansion nor the entertainments. The Ital-
ian woman might have tried the same trick,
and still she would have failed. It's all
in the way. Lobbying is like immortality.
1t is usually entirely surrounded by night.
A statesman likes not the daylight that
reveals him to his honored peers In the roll
Of a catspaw. Neither do the honored
peers, in their turn, relish playing the
role Of the horror-stricken play the
game as you will, brother, but don't tell
us. We will do the same"
The cause for which the mistress of the
mansion is battling is the sweetest in the
world. II is sugar. Cub wants the tariff
on sugar reduced. American sugar growers
want thai tariff let alone. Arrayed against
her, the western woman has the president,
his cabinet, a Cuban delegation, General
Wood and an unknown number OF senators
and congressman. TIL mission Of the sugar
lobbyist-why not lobbyiste ?-is to discover
the unknown congressman and pluck them
from the hands Of the Cubans.

lobbyists paid to secure contracts for ship

represented by westerners who wish the

by men whose business will benefit by the
admission Of said territories to statehood:
isthmian canal. represented by Niearagu-
ans on the one side and the Panama Canal
company and the republic Of Colombia on
the other. These are simply the greatest
Hobbies. There are a hundred others.
Perhaps the most open, the most ram
pant, is the one conducted by the canal
folks. The Panama Canal company is des-
perate. 1t wants to sell out to the United
States. AS for Colombia-a legation In
Washington is a new toy for Colombia, and
the diplomatic headquarters on Q street,
with a former president Of Colombia there
domiciled, is in the midst Of the homes Of
the very men who will choose the lady or
the tiger so far as a canal route is con-
cerned.
But there are many kinds of Hobbies be-
sides those for legislation. There are lob
bies for claims, Tor appointments, Tor con-
tracts, for favors. So not all Hobbies have
designs upon congress. There are Hobbies
with commissions, with committees, with
bureaus, with departments, with various
officials in power, and with persons known
to have the ear of those occupying the
seats of the mighty.
From which it is apparent that not all
Hobbies are conducted in the corridors, or

the capitol, is never seen there. He In
vades the very homes Of officials, for the
purpose of furthering his schemes, under
the guise of paying his respects socially.
He cools his heels in the outer rooms OF the
White House, because he has to-. The best
of the genus may be seen at the Hotel
Richmond. This is the quietest OF family
hotels in Washington, conveniently near
the White House, and here live many of the
most potent human factors in national
legislation. Naturally. these powerful
statesmen attract not only other lawmak-
ers, but a great number of persons who
seek the benefits of their influence. So here
are many dinners served behind closed
doors and here the mighty hold many a
momentous pow-wow. Hence 1t is that the
walls of the quiet Hotel Richmond hold as
many hopes OF members Of the third
house as the executive mansion, or the
capitol itself.
Unofficial Persons Sought
The unofficial person in Washington who
has a large acquaintance among those in
office is buttonholed by lobbyists quite as
persistently as is any senator or represent
alive. A certain former governor OF one
of the southern states, who now lives here,
could have made a mall fortune within the
last few weeks. A prominent southern law
yer called upon him recently and said:
Governor, you know so-and-So," naming
the chairman Of a claims commission. "Get
my claim before him and there's 5000 in
1t for you"
The private secretaries Of government
dignitaries, too. are constantly approached
by 'ax-to-grind" men. A certain manufac-
turer wanted English chalk to come In
classified as precipitated chalk for medic
inal use. you FIX this matter" said he Il
Omaha daily bee., 1902-02-09

AO01
the private secretary of an official high in
power, "and l will fix you"
1t is one of the duties Of private secre-
tarles to discover the identity and mission
of lobbyists. They are ever keen on the
scent and hence often save their employers
from being hoodwinked.
The two principal means by which a lob
byist hopes to. achieve his end are money
and influence. Money is commonly sup
posed to be the most u~nerring weapon. 1t
is not. 1t is the experience of members of
the third house" that greater things have
been achieved through influence than
through bribery-for this latter word is
what is meant by money. Money has been
paid, money has been accepted, to be sure;
but that same money has often failed where
influence has been successful.
Money Helps Some.
Suppose a democrat, for instance, wishes
to be elected to the senate from his state.
He needs a certain amount of money to get
the nomination. He hasn't It. He comes
to Washington-and, for the good of the
party, the money is raised here and sent to
the proper persons In his state. And the
democrat is sent to the senate. Now that
senator saw not one penny Of that contri-
button, but he is now under obligations TO
the contributors. So one of those who
raised the money now seeks the senator's
help in the passage Of a certain act. The
senator, perforce, becomes the champion
of that act, and secures the votes Of HE
colleagues. That is lobbying by influence.
Still, gold is one of the elements the lob
byist must reckon with. Not long ago the
sum of 81, 200, 900 was placed on deposit in a
certain hotel, the proprietor acting az
banker The money was gradually with
drawn, 800, 900 at a time. Need you ash
why that money was not put In a regular
bank? Or, what became Of that 81. 600, 900
How to get money into the hands of thu
lawmakers without leaving any trace of the
transaction-this is often a problem fol
lobbyists. Stories are told OF hair-raisinl
poker games, in which legislators woi
steadily for four hours. This is one metho'
|, of money transference.

HEAD END COLLISION.

The only regular train-though the first days service hardly entities it to even this distinction-on the White & Black River branch of the Choctaw, suffered quite a serious collision at 4:5O o'clock Wednesday afternoon, one mile north of Riverside.
 The local freight which is to make the run from Brinkley to Newport and return in one day had only reached Riverside at the time stated in the afternoon on the going trip and had orders to pass the work train at that point, when the latter ran in to that town for water. In some mex plicable way, there was misunder- standing and the two trains met each other under good beadway on curve little over a mile north of Riverside.
 Aside from few scratches, no one was seriously hurt, though the par ticulars of the wreck and injuries are not obtainable at this hour. Both en- zines were disabled, number of cars ditched and damaged and the track torn up, but the same had been cleared early Thursday morning by a work train from the main line. The arrival of the local freight depends upon when an engine can be secured and may not reach here before Friday
