short of ''looting the treasury" In
order to secure the assage OF the
unworthy bills the Republicans
consolidated all bills for public
buildings into one measure. OPP
position to one would mean oppo-
sition to all. They went even far
Their and included in the bill a pro-
vision for some public improve
ment in almost every State in the
Union so that any Representative
who voted against it would be vot-
ing against the wishes of his con-
stituents. A special rule was
adopted which made it impossible
to amend by striking out any OF
the VIGOROUSLY unworthy provis-
ions and limited the debate to three
hours, manifestly too short a time
in which to consider a bill with OBJ
iects so numerous and diverse. l

gates to vote for him. The report
also authorized the County EXecu-

WASHINGTON LETTER.

As all of transportation bills,
with the exception of the general
deficiency bill, which will not be
reported until the last Of the ses-
sion, have been reported, it is
possible to make an approximate
estimate OF the total appropria,
tions of this session and to a GER
tain extent of this Congress. The
general appropriation bills so far
reported, some of them already
laws, aggregate 1858, S51, POS. This
is without taking into account the
SIT, 100000 appropriated on Tues
day for public buildings and MI
merous other special appropria-
tions. As it is estimated that the
general deficiency bill will approx
innate several millions it is consid-
cred safe to predict that this will
90 down in history as a "bilIion-
and.a-half dollar Congress-" for it
is safe to assume that the appro-
priations of the short session will
at least equal those made this year.
Should the Nicaraguan Canal bill
become law that would add $780,
100000 more to the aggregate. In
this connection, too, it is worth
remembering that, by the repeal
of the war revenue taxes, the an
nual receipts of the Government
have been curtailed by sum esti-
mated at $70,O0O,00O. The great
est incentive to lavish expenditure
at this session of Congress has
been the apprehension on the part
of the protectionists that a surplus
in the treasury would lead to tariff
reduction and their object has been
to expend the surplus, irrespect-
i've of necessity, in order to obyi-
ate any revision of the tariff sched-
ules. Later they will advance,
against the agitation for tariff re-
vision, the argument that the rev.
enues are no more than is needed
for the expenses of the Govern
ment and the unthinking element
of the voters, without rejecting
that as now framed the tariff laws
are calculated to produce a maxi
mum of protection and a mini
mum of income, will accept the
specious reasoning of the Republi-
can leaders.

Senators Carmack, Teller and
Simmons have made speeches in
the Senate analysing Republican
policy in the Philippines and have,
at times, almost provoked the Re
publican side into replying, but
the famed Republican discipline
has prevailed and no speeches
have been made on that side of
the chamber. Senator Lodge has
attempted to fix the hour for the
vote and it is his desire to occupy
the entire time from the conclusion
of the last Democratic speech until
the vote, so that the Democrats
will have no time to reply. That
the Senator will be able to accom-
plish this end is denied by the
Democrats. Senator Rawlins has
requested me to state that he did
not refer to General Cbatfee, as
stated by the Associated Press, as
''dastard william" but merely APP
piled the term in general to who
ever was responsible for the Smith
order and other atrocities in the
Philippines.

He will not be satisfied with Sena-
tor Platt's War Department evi-
dence but insists that witnesses be
summoned. Already the officials
of the Sugar Trust have been called
upon to testify, including Mr..
Henry O. Havemeyer. 1t was
with decided reluctance that the
President of the Sugar Trust was
summoned by the Republicans as
they are apprehensive of the ma
ture of that gentleman's evidence.
1t will be remembered that when
testifying before the Industrial
Commission Mr.. Havemeyer made
the famous statement, "The tariff
is the mother of trusts" and the
Republican Senators are very nerv-
Gus for fear the magnate may an
nounce some further embarrassing
truths on this occasion.

Now that the final passage of
the anti oleomargarine bill has
been accomplished the Republicans
in Congress who were responsible
for its enactment are beginning to
wonder if they have done wisely.
The passage of the bill was imme-
diately followed by a rise in the
price of butter, and that, taken in
connection with the rise in the
price of beef, is leading the con-
sumers to ask most embarrassing
questions. 1t is well-known that
many of the Congressman who
voted for the anti oleomargarine
bill did so against their best iudg-
ment and only because they feared
the condemnation of the farmers
vote but the consumers are even
more numerous than the farmers
and if the former once appreciate
that all Republican legislation is
in the interest of the favored few
at the expense of the great army
Of consumers it will go hard with
the party at the polls.
