WRITING PHRFUNCTORY LETTERS.

A Washington correspondent Of the
New York Evening Post writing from
Washington says:
1.-The practice of some public men, of
writing a letter whenever they are about
TO grant a request. informing all the peo-
pie who can ave any possible relation to
it, sometimes leads to strange compiled
lions Mr.. Mercer Chairman Of the House
Committee on Public Buildings and
Grounds, took occasion not long ago to
notify Senator Stewart of Nevada of the
fact that IN appropriation had been al
lowed in the mnibus Public Buildings
bill for a postoffice at Reno. The efforts
which the Senator had made to bring
this about were, of course, mentioned and
the qualification which this news would
give him. Now, in point of fact, Repre-
sentative Newlands had been mainly in
strumental in getting this item into the
bill. but, as Mr.. Stewards letter found
its way into the Nevada newspapers first,
he carried of a good deal of the glory Of

THE EMPTY DINNER PAIL.

TIL Congressional elections this year
are likely to be largely affected by the at
titude of the Inner pail voter in Eastern
and Northern districts. In the Presiden-
tial elections of 1896 and 1900 these men
were coddled and deceived into the sup
port of 1.-The advanced agent of prosper
ity' 'and promised their reward in the
full dinner pail"
A sudden and expensive wal came
along opportunity to boom agricultural
products and manufactures, and the ef-
fects of 1t were quite filling for awhile
to the dinner pail. But now the reduction
of war demands, the effects of over-pro-
peace in South Africa and in Europe at
large and growing demands of the trusts.
led by the beef trust notably, are caus-
ing the Dime pail to feel a goneness that
excites the study and Indignation of the
w~crkingman.
Also there are strikes developing all
along the line of American industries,
and these are helping the dinner pail to
reduce its former fairness and simultan-
eously causing the carrier of it to realize
that much of his prosperity, like the
gamester's winnings, has gone back over
the layout into the dealers n roll. He
now suspects that he was cleverly bait
ed for a season only to be robbed the
gullible to the future bunko devices of
trusts and m~onopolies.
1t is being shown by the statistics of
the labor bureau of the government that

age only about $500 each per year and
have two dependents to provide for out
of that sum. That gives Sill IL per month
TO each beneficiary, and half of that only

is prosperity with a vengeance! Imagine
the fullness of the dinner pail that has
only SIX cents with Wnlcn 10 purchase

No wonder the Republican campaign

the neck off the bottle With a "stove

and the backing came. All over her

A Remarkable Rnnnuet Party.

One Of the most notorious Hungarian
duelists fought his thirty-ffth duel in
1886 and celebrated the event by ban
quet, to which only those who could
prove that they had participated in at
least six duels were invited. There
was a room full of such warriors, some
with faces scanned with sears, others
minus an ear, an eye or with two or
three fingers missing. The most marked
of all was a Frenchman who had lost
his nose in an encounter with Count
Andrassy, the statesman. There was
only one relaxation of the rule, and that
was made in favor of a lady who had
killed her man.
