WASHINGTON. ID. c., Jnly IL
Representative Benton of Missouri
who is leading member of the com
mittee on appropriations. reyeiwing the
work of the last session of Congress,
has called attention in vigorous way
to the enormous expenses of the gov
crnment under the Republican admin
istration He says:
The population OF the country
shows no phenomenal Increase; the
commercial interests OF the country
furnish no adequate reason for swell
ing expenditures, The administration
claims thatithe Philippine war Is over;
that the army has been seriously de-
creased We are at peace. Yet the
appropriations for the coming fiscal
year are increased by $4,000, 900, and
the promissory notes of the govern
ment are given for $3.50 900, 900 more.
Attention has been called to certain
legislation of Congress which has been
enacted by the Republicans, and 1t Is
paraded as being virtuous, This iegls
lation comprises the repeal of part of
the Spanish war taxes A Panama
canal lawsuit has been given us IN
stead of the Nicaragua canal route.
which this House passed and the peo-
pie want; a Philippine government
bill has been passed which does not
give civil government to those unfor-
tunate people. No voice is given the
people OF the archipelago in their legis

and then when convenient after such
census.
True to its party history, the Re-
publican party has passed a bill ex
tending and enfargtng the power Of
national banks, which the people have
not asked. A permanent census bn-
reau has been made to provide places
for regiment of office holders.
'But the great Republican party
parading it's full dinner pail with
strikes and lockouts In every section
of the country, has failed and refused
to provide legislation to stifie trusts,
has declined to meet the demand of the
people for revised tariff, preferring
to expend in needless and wasteful ap-
propiations the taxes wrung from the
people,
MIR. Benton makes an interesting re-
view of the total appropriations by ne
Republican Congresses of recent years,
as compared with Democratic Con-
crosses

tieth Congress CDem) was 1874. LAG. 424:

TO PERPETUATE The BUFFALO
Jones Of Kansas viii Consolidate a H6r0 IN
Yellowstone Park

fence around a portion of the PARK.
This he states, Is absolutely necessary,
as the buffalo, no matter how thor
oughly domesticated, never lose their
migratory instincts. He stated that
quite recently two animals wandered
out of the park and were found by
some farmers at point lO0 miles
north of that reservation. The par
lies who found the animals wander
ing north undertook to head them on
and turned them back to the park,
but as this is an art that few under
stand it simply resulted In the two
buffaloes being chased by every Tom,
Dick and Harry until they dropped
dead.
TO try to turn buffalo. by getting
in front of him is, according to the
Colonel, utterly impossible. The buff
falo will simply run over or past the
party that gets in his way, but oy
riding along by the animafs SIDE,
turning him a little at time, IL Is IN
easy matter to turn them back after a
somewhat lengthy detour or circuit.
The Colonel once had a cow bison.
valued at 81 900. escape late during
the fall of the year. and true to the
instincts of her race, she started
toward the South. attracting a vast
crowd of rustics, farmers, boys. and
hired men. who In their nonsensical
efforts to drive the animal into a lot,
or turn her back home. chased the
I.oor buffalo until she dropped dead
not fifteen minutes before two OF Mr..
Jones men arrived on the scene In
search of the animal.

SUNDAY School Entertainment.

The service CT "The Messiah's
KINGDOM for the rendition of which
the children of St. Stephens Lutheran
Sunday school had been put through
thorough course of training, came
off in the the pretty little church
building last Sunday evening as had
been announced. Notwithstanding
the very inclement weather which
p-eyziled for several days previous,
the building was filed to it's utmost
capacity with members OF this de-
nomination and it's friends who braved
the waring elements to witness the
presentation of this beautiful story
of remarkable pheomena attending
the birth and mission of the Saviour
of the world which is ripe in thought
and impressive in diction.
The church was handsomely deco
Gated with ferns, palms, flowers and
evergreens, the scenes being laid
with the especial view of making the
trend of the sacred story conform
aud harmonize with the surroundings
and the effect was wonderfully charac-
teristic of those which transpired
when sthe fullness of time had come"
The gate which marked the entrance
to the city of eternal rest stood ajar
and through it's cleaning portals the
Angel of Life led weary pilgrims into
the bright land of the golden forever.
The entertainment consisted OF
sacred hymns of praise and alteration
unto him who was conceived by the
Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin
Mary, suffered under Pontious Pilate;
was cruciied, dead and buried and
rose on the third day for our justih
cation as had been predicted by the
prophets of old. There were decla-
nations by four pretty young ladies,
illustrative of the stars of hope, joy,
peace and love. Their conception of
the themes which they represented
was true to the word painting and
the creditable manner in which they
performed their parts with such
charming grace, demonstrated that
they had been carefully and fault
lessly trained by Mrs. J. G. Graicher,
lady of high culture and possessed
of extraordinary elocutionary talents.
The choruses, solos end duets were
sweetly rendered and the voices were
developed to their full volume and
tone under the efficient instruction of
Mrs. Fannie Roof who bears the rep
utation of being endowed with un-
usual musical gifts which have been
developed by cultivation and practice.
There were other inspiring fea-
lures which were intended to incite
fallen humanity to perform nobler
deeds and awaken nobler aspirations.
It was indeed a rich spiritual and
intellectual treat to listen to the Rev.
J. A. Cromer's we'll timed analysis OF
the Lords Prayer. He was given
marked attention from beginning to
end.
