CONGRESSIONAL HUMOEs.
The Wit of the Great Statesmen
Flows Fast and Freely.


Two ladies sat in The family gallery
in the Senate and discussed the vari.
Gus Senators on the floor, to the evi-
dent interest of another lady who sal
near them.
Who is that short man, with such
lots of hair and sort Of Il sarcastic
smile on his face?' asked one of the
takers.
"'rhc one all scrunchcd down in his
chair with his lower lip sticking out?"
Yes"
"That's Spooner. He's one of the
big debaters. He's from Wisconsin" !"
con, l thought that must be Sena-
tor Spooner.'
What made you think so?'
Ills clothes. Those queer gar
ments couldn't have been made any
where this side of Wisconsin,"
After this dialogue the lady who
haul been listening went down to the
Marble room and told one of the door
keepers that she would like to see
Senator Spooner. He came out and
was appropriated by the lady and taken
to one of the big leather lounges.
"John, DEAR" said the lady, Gas
your dutlful wife have to report that
l heard two ladies talking about you
up in the gallery"
"They said something pleasant, /
hope" said Senator Spooner.
"Not so very pleasant" said Mrs.
Spooner. " One of them remarked
that she could tell that you came from
Wisconsin because your clothes could
not have been made anywhere Eas.s of
there, and, John"-
" Yes"
"l hope you will take my advice
now and stop buying your clothes in

4 Souvenir.

Last week MT. M. Salzman pre- sented to Jas. A. Perkins a souvenir in the shape of Santa Fe Pacific pay check drawn in favor of his brother, w. l.. Perkins (who was killed in q wreck near Challender last summer) for the amount of one cent. No doubt this is the smallest check ever drawn by any man in the employ of the company and is greatly valued by James, who intends having it framed.
 At the time the check was issued, July 27, 1894, Lee was located at Winslow, as fireman, and had worked only three hours that month. The check reads as fol- lows:

Death of M- B. Warren

The NEWS regre.s to announce the death, at Patton, California. on December II, of Mir M. B. Warren, an old and respected citizen of this city. About a year ago Mr. War ren sold his jewelry stock and busi- ness to A. B. Bruner S Son and, as he had been for years a sufferer from asthma, left for Needles in the hope that he would be bene- fitted, and later went to Los Angeles He was nearly seventy years of age at the time of his death and had become quite feeble even before he sold out his business interests here
 Besides his wife. who lives here, he leaves, to mourn his loss, a son, Jason. who resides in New York City, and daughter, Mrs Tender son of Cleveland, Ohio The de deceased also has a brother living in Chicago and a sister whose home is in the state of New York.
 MT. Warren had been for a num- Der of years a resident of Williams, coming here from Jerome, where he had also been engaged in the iewelry business. He made many friends here who deeply sympathize with the relatives in their loss, and while his death was not unex- pected, still, we are never quite prepared to meet the announcement that an old and respected acquaint- ance has passed to the great beyond

Won a Suit Of Clothes.

Ne editor expects to appear in a new suit of clothes shortly. It's a fact. It's not the first suit we ever had, but the way we got this makes us feel pretty good. On New Year eve, while we were tripping the light fantastic and spelling our Sunday suit by having it come in contact with some peculiar white substance which is sold by all leading druggists (we ask the ladies' pardon, they are not to blame, it's the druggists faulD, q friend of ours came to the hall and informed us that we had won a suit of clothes in a raffie held down town that night. If we hadn't been used to hearing SO much startling news, the shock might, possibly, have been too much for us As it was, we simply let on that we were used to having such things occur to us regularly, and WhCh ahONAAtE AEAtiAu NstAAAt Au anu told us that everyone down on the row was wetting ye editors suit tor rather, their throats), at our ex- Pense, our smile only grew broader However, we are glad there were so many men at the dance or it might not have been possible for us to lay claim to the suit. Our old friend, J. F.. DeRosear, manager of the Postal Telegraph office was the fellow who won it for us immediate ly after having thrown small number for himself, and it is need less to say that J. F.. is about as sore as we are glad. If some one will now kindly raffie a lady's tailor-made suit, and fix it so our better-half can get it, they will be our friend forever

4 Correction

Shortly after the NEWS was out last week our attention was called to the fact that an erroneous state ment had been made in an item which is here reproduced:
 MT. c. F. Boyce was the recipient of a very nice Christmas present from J. J. Gilson in the shape of a new and neatly painted and gilded hose cart, for use around the hotel property
 It appears that the gift was not made by MT. Gilson alone, but that he was one of a number of gentle men who contributed toward rais- ing sufficient funds to build the hose cart, but at the time the re- porter first saw the cart no mention was made of such q contribution and we understood that the present was to be made by MT. Gilson. We regret that any misunderstanding has arisen and herewith reproduce q copy of the letter handed to MT. Boyce upon the presentation of the cart:

A REVOLUTIONARY PLAN.

That portion of Senator Hills platform
declaring for the seizure of the coal fields
by the general government is attracting
general attention and provoking much ad-
verse criticism. Even the New York World
says "the plank advocating the national
ownership and operation of coal mines is
an inconsiderate and hasty utterance The
civic crisis" the World continues, though
acute and alarming at the moment, must
be transitory one. and does not warrant
the Invocation of so radical remedy as
state socialism" 1t is, indeed, a far call
from the Jeffersonian doctrine of the SUI
premacy of the states to the proposition
of the Hill platform, which involves the
invasion of the State of Pennsylvania and
citizens Of that State by the national gov
eminent Such usurpation was never be-
fore heard of. 1t is imperialism in the
most positive form. The heresy underly-
ing the proposition involves the wiping out
of all local governments and the concen-
tration in Washington of all power over
production, labor and prices. Under the
Constitution as it now stands, not an acre
of land, even for a public building, can
be taken by the Federal government with
out the consent of the State of Penn
sylvania, which it is not probable would
for the coal fields.
David Bennett Hill is reckless and at
the same time dishonest in this matter;
reckless because he would teach socialism
and ignore the Constitution of the United
States, and dishonest because he, as an
able lawyer, knows that his scheme is
visionary, and is put forth to catch the
votes of ignorant men who are incensed
by the high price of coal. Mr.. Bryan
has never presented so revolutionary an
idea as that demanding the seizure of the
coal fields by the general government
There is not single thing to be said
in favor of the Hill proposition. 1t is
display of reckless demagogy which will
lose Mr.. Hills ticket more votes than 1t
will win.
Some plan will be devised for the work.

GREAT BRITAIN's PROTECTION.

The recent announcement of member of
the British Ministry that the British ships
in the Morgan ship trust will fly the British
flag, be commanded by British officers and
manned by British sailors, and that half
the ships built shall be built i'm British
yards, is interesting, but not so very in
teresting as the further statement that an
agreement has been made by the govern
ment with the Cunard Steamship Com
pany whereby the latter will be paid $4,000
a year for twenty years to construct and
sail two ocean steamers that will be at
least one knot an hour faster than any
vessels now employed in the Atlantic trade
The granting of this subsidy is an admis-
sion that British shipowners cannot COM
pete with the Germans; consequently. un-
less the British government is willing to
yield the British supremacy on the ocean
10 a rival. it must come to the assistance
of its shipping companies with a liberal
subsidy.
At the present time Germany has faster
ships than Great Britain. The German gov
eminent gives liberal subsidy. and, Ger
man labor being cheaper than British, the
German ships can be sailed at less cost.
Great Britain proposes to make it possible
for British shipbuilders TO compete with
the Germans. and to do it departs from its
free-trade policy and adopts the most eff
fectve and paternal form OF projections
twenty years subsidy. The British gov
eminent could not adopt any tariff meas
ure that could be more thoroughly pro-
tective or more completely designed to pro-
mote the interests 1f British manufac-
turers. In fact. Mr.. Balfour's address was
made TO an assemblage of Sheffield cutters.
who, among other British manufacturers.
were uneasy about the Morgan ship trust.
The British cutters have no further inter-

lowest rates. AS the cutlery makers of

dispatch from Mishawaka to the Gin
cinnati Enquirer states that a prominent
Republican worker from Indianapolis gave
while in that city on Thursday to local COM
mittees statement to the effect that the
Republican candidates are apprehensive of
the effect of the anthracite strike upon the
coal miners in Indiana. The dispatch
given local committees. The secretary of
the Republican state committee pronounces
the statement false adding that nothing
regarding the coal miners, verbal or other
wise, has been sent out by the committee
or any one authorized to speak for it. 1t Is
evidently a device of the enemy. and the
Republican worker" from Indianapolis
was undoubtedly a Democratic fakir. AS
matter of fact, the Republicans in the In
diana coal region report that the prospect
is that larger proportion of the votes will
be cast for the Republicans than hereto
fore. The miners never had so steady work
with so good wages as at the present time.
When the Republican party came into pow
er the Indiana coal miners were in hard
lines. Employment was short and wages
were low. Governor Mount took the side
Of the miners and relieved their pressing
needs. The Improvement of the times and
the organization Of the miners, and the CO.
operation with the mine operators have
changed all the conditions The men are
earning more than double the wages of 1897
and were never so well off as now.

Roosevelt Not Profane.

New York Commercial.
On account of his 'strenuousness'' and
the habit of rather violent gesticulation
during a conversation IL has been whis-
pered around the country that President
Roosevelt is frequently guilty Of using
"cuss" words when things do not go TO
suit him.
There never was more mistaken notion.
Gen. Andrew Jackson was a swearer, but.
as Horace Greeley used 10 say. he did not
swear profanely." By that Greeley meant
that If a man swore just for the fun Of the
thing il was profanity, but when he had
cause IL was not. At any rate. that Is what
he wired the late William Cullen Bryant
the morning after Greeley's hat and coat
were stolen at the first inauguration OF
President Grant. The newspaper fellows
had reported that the old man made the air
black and blue with oaths after discovering
that his hat and coat had disappeared.
The nearest approach Of President Roose-
welt TO swearing is the frequent eNclana-
ton of by GEORGE" He works that ex-
preston for all il is worth when excited,
and especially I'm dealing with politicians
calling at the executive mansion who
arouse his ire. The President is religious
man. and. besides. has often declared that
there is no sense I'm swearing. even IL one
had no religious or conscientious scruples

The ice viii be sold in large and small
quantities direct to private consumers for
use in office or home ice water tanks and

bought to cool the various mineral waters
as sold now in bottles and cans" said Mr..
Kent Ordinarily the ice TO cool mineral
waters as kept in tanks, business offices,
clubs, hotels and homes, costs more than
the water itself, and We propose 10 Gu. in
half the cost of water, ice and freight and
distributing charges.
s.In the first place we can make ice OF
the Minniska spring water. retaining all
the original mineral properties, the water
melting in the consumers tank and return
ing to its natural form as sweet. pure and
health giving when taken from the
spring. We can furnish the ice at less than
could furnish the water, as the cost or
shipping ice from Wisconsin lakes to Mil
waukee and Chicago is three and one-half
cents hundred pounds. while the cost OF
shipping water is seven cents for the same
weight. The ice will be as valuable as a
refrigerant as any ice. and in the home will
do service in the ordinary family refrig-
orator, the melting Ice furnishing clean,
pure water for drinking purposes IL the
ice chamber is kept clean. We can furnish
the ice for the same price as Ice manu-
featured from distilled water.
.'Our largest field will probably be the
big office buildings, where each tenant at
present has 10 buy mineral drinking water
at one price and ice 10 cool IL at another
price paying both for the service of the
water and service of the ice. We furnish
the ice and water at one time at half the
ordinary cost. We shall install big sys-

great Southwest, where we expect to open
up a big field for water"
