At a sale Of books in Washington the
other evening the auctioneer put up a set
Of Theodore Roosevelt's works and after
q sharp contest among bidders It was
knocked Town at a figure slightly in excess
Of the regular store price. When the
%auctioneer picked out a life Of George
Washington and held hat up with the
usual preface Of choice comment, silence
followed the conclusion Of his panegyric.
Not a solitary bid was heard. Again the
a%uctioneer tried the value Of advertising,
but not an offer was made. Tossing the
book back on a shelf, he said in a tone OF
mingled contempt and disgust: Go back
to the shelf. Georgel You're not wanted;
you're a back number. The times are too

Senate document No. 2, the annual letter
Of the secretary of that body, contains an
instructive inventory OF public property
under his control. In the secretary's own

Thirty-eight cuspidors in the eight sub
sidiary chambers controlled by the secre-
tary OF the most august legislative body In
the world. This leaves out OF account the
provisions for the accommodation Of ninety
senators in the hall Of the senate, as well
as GA committee rooms, the restaurant,
bath rooms, barber shop, etc. At the same
rate there ought to be about 500 cuspidors
actually owned by the august body. Are

II is limited in Washington that every
time Secretary Moody thinks of Cannon in
the sneakers chair he also thinks of what
might have been. When Moody relin-
ouished his place in the house he could
not foresee that Henderson would resign
the speakership. The Massachusetts man
would have been a formidable candidate,
and even had he been beaten by Cannon he
probably would have succeeded that gen.
tleman as head Of the appropriations com
mittee-a position of great power, as Moody
we'll knows. Still more, he might have
stepped to the front as a party leader In
the house, with a prospect whose utter
most confines would possibly include the
White House. All this is said to bring
a faraway look into Secretary Moody's
eyes once in a while.

engineering the great merger and com
bination operations, and which still
have on hand or pledged in European
money capitals for loans, immense
amounts Of the newly manufactured
stocks and other securities. OBJ
viously 1t is necessary for them not to
permit the money market to reach n
crisis, in which these collaterals would
be suddenly returned and force the bot
tom out Of the whole mass Of merger
and recognized corporation capitaliza-
ton. When, therefore, the great New
York banks move for the protection of
the market they are simply moving for
their own protection and acting in the
purest quality Of self-interest and not
from patriotic considerations.
But the point of general interest is
that the burden of protecting the mar
ket Is upon the shoulders that ought
to bear it-upon those who have precipi-
tated the conditions causing the trouble.

Just after the senate adjourned one day
recently a stout perspiring man, evidently
from the country, and with, as was after
ward revealed, an unmistakable Kentucky
accent, walked Into the room of the COM
mittee on public lands, deposited his silk
hat on the table and snapped his fingers at
Senator Hansbrough's secretary. When the
secretary approached he said:
"a large glass Of Bourbon, sab, and don't
insult me with watah on the side"

piled the secretary, 1.-THE restaurant is on

Men in hotel Hobbies continue to talk
about the late Thomas B.. Reed, reports the
Washington Post. Many OF his admirers
we're in the Riggs house last evening, and
among them Hon. LATE Pence, formerly in
congress from Colorado, but now of Wyo-
ming. Mr.. Reed greatly liked the brilliant
and eloquent young representative from the
west, though the two men were as wide
apart as the poles in their political beliefs.
There came a time, however, IN the attri-
tion Of congressional life when their kin
regard temporarily gave way to something
akin to dislike. Mr.. Pence was as i'm
petuous as he was big-hearted and brainy,
and he said something that gave the Maine
man offense.
It was about the free silver business. of
course, and such a casus belli could not
permanently ALLEVIATE them. TIL reconcile
alton was really brought about by that
golden-hearted gentleman, Amos Cummings,
but its climax was reached when Pence, in
a humorous speech, alluded to Mr.. Reed as
the mentor" of the republicans and the
"tormentor' of the democrats. Further on
he said that Mr.. Reed was known by the
people at large as the Ear" and they
spelled It in that simple fashion. The re-
publicans spelled it ~"czar," which was nat
ural, for they regarded him as their Caesar;
the democrats spelled it %"tsar," because he
was their ,%teaser. and sure enough the die
tionary authorized the three different way
There was great applause at Pence's wit
ticism, and Reed himself could not forbear
to smile. After the Colorado man had taken
his seat the other slowly walked over, ex-
tended his land and whispered, Lets go
and have lunch"

COST. OF SCHOOLS.

Kansas has o. 4O5 school houses,
with 1855 teachers and 295'9S3
scholars. The average price paid
male teachers ia SAB, and female $50
per month. Crawford county mas
1884 school children and Cherokee
county has 1855. A little figuring
will show how much is expended
for school purposes in Kansas for
a year. OF course these figures do
not include new school houses or
for heating and keeping them in re-
pair. The aum would almost
double that of salary of teachers
nor does il cover the expense Of
state institutions or the church col
leges. The sum if tabulated would
