A GoadMaxe.

The lower house of Congress has ad :
dopted resolution amending the con-
stitution of the United States, making
United States Senators electable by q
direct vote of the people of the respec-
tive States This is certainly a move
in the right direction, one that meets
the approval Of large majority of the
voters of every State and should be
adopted. 1t is. however very doubt
full whether the Senate will agree to
adopt the resolution. If adopted it
willrelegate large number of senators
now holding seats in that body to pri-
vate life, position they are SO emil
nelly fitted to adorne, and their alb
sence would purify that body, making
it worthy the people of this country.

The employees of the Capital Traction
Company in their gruffness and hectoriug
of the patrons of the road model themselves
after the president Of the company, who
imagiues he has the only road ia the United
States, and is as Indifferent to the demands
of the public as the Caleph of Bagdad The
assault on Senator Money by the conductor
of-a car on this line is but the natural
sequence of the assumptions Of the man
agement and president that the public have
no rights they are bound to respect. Time
and again complaints have been made at
this Office by compulsory patrons Of this
line of the bunco game it plays in running
a car around the loop at the Peace Monu-
ment, compelling passengers to alight
who were in ignorance Of the fact
that the particular car they were on
went only as far as the loop. There
is no way for passengers to inform
themselves about this particular car AL
most everybody using the line has been de-
ceived by it and put to inconvenience. The
conductors. too, seem to enjoy the embar-
rassment of the passengers and complaints
at the Office are scornfully grinned at by the
brusque and gruf president of the company.
Senator Money was clearly entitled to
ride to the B. & o. and both conductors
knew it. He was not the first nor the
hundreth person who has been buacoed
into paying two fares by the slowness Of
the conductors to give transfers. whether
through design or not the public can jtdge
By the frequent occurrences Of the kin9.
Instead of the conductor announcing tol
passengers before reaching the loop be
destination of the car and Offering transte.s
to those who are entitled to them he, as a
rule, manages to reach the loop in such b
manner that passengers compelled TO alighl
have no time to secure transfers and are
thus compelled to walk or pay another
fare. There is no excuse for this as the
president and management of the company
have been time and again Informed of the
swindle.
Senator Money stood upon his rights and
very properly refused to be bled for a
second fare.
The rough manner in which he was ham
died is, as stated, modelled after the often
sively domineering manner of President
Dunlop toward the patronage of his road.
He is more independent than Vanderbilt or
Morgan, and his line and go-as-you- please
management badly needs some Congress
sional regulations.
In pleasing contrast to Dunlop's autocratic
treatment of the public is the courteous and
attentive manner in which the officials of
the Metropolitan Railroad looks after the
comforts and convenience of their patrons
From General Harries down to the motor
men, conductors and other employees Of the
Metropolitan the public receives every at
tention that can or ought to be expected
If the Capital Traction Company will not
initiate this courtesy and politeness they
ought to be compelled to do so in the inter-
ests Of the travelling public.

Hall or Records.

An appropriation of $500, 900 for purchase
of sight and an additional appropriation for
the same sum to construct one wing Of a
Hall of Records was authorized Thursday
last by the Senate. The bill was passed
with little debate, Senator Vest of Missouri
explaining the need for such a structure in
Washington. Senator Platt of Connecticut
made some objection, as he understood
Senator Hale Of Maine would oppose the
measure, but it was explained that Senator
Hales objection applied TO bill for an ex-
ecutive department building on the block
adjoining Lafayette Square.
The bill provides for Hall of Records,
which, when completed, shall have 5,ooo.-
600 cubic feet Of space. The wing to be
constructed first under direction of the Sec
retary Of the Treasury is to have 1906, 900
cubic feet of space. The Secretaries of the
Treasury and Interior and the Postmaster
General are constituted a commission to
select a site. and If no satisfactory pur-
chase can be made in ninety day condem-
nation proceedings are authorized.

e pluribus Unum.

Greeting:
BRoTHERs-The Central Labor Union of
this city having refused to extend the hand
of fellowship to the Marine Engineers
Beneficial Association and the Amalga-
mated Association of Carpenters, two trade
union organizations, has stamped itself as
being in favor of the classes and not Of the
masses Therefore it has ceased to repre-
sent the best interests of the wage workers
Of this city.
It is now proposed to establish a central
body on the broad lines of the American
Constitution, of Christian principles and
equal rights to all.
All chartered organi izations will be ad-
mitted regardless Of afiliation. As it is
our intention to extend a helping hand to
all wage workers, we most earnestly request
the co operation of the c. L. w. and all
friends of the wage workers.
Our motto shall be, Equality, JAStice and

war history of every soldier who wore the

The recent developments before the
House Committee on military affairs in con.
uection with one of these rascally bills in
troduced by Senator Hanna to amend the
record Of an army nurse named Harrison
Wagner shows that Hanna and others have
already secured for this man a pension and
increase to $40 per month. Not content
with this 6lching from the treasury, Sena-
tor Hanna, as stated. introduced bill to
declare Wagner was an assistant surgeon in
the army instead Of nurse. This contention
was backed up with documents which the
committee discovered to be rank forgeTies.
The committee, of course, reported Hanna's
bill adversely, but who is to be sent to the
penitentiary for the forgery of the docu-
ments3 This case ought to be sufficient TO
admonish Congress to leave severely alone

When the caucus Of the House Demo-
Gratis which decided to present a united

last week, there was some misunderstand-
ing as to the authorship of the pesolution
making the action of the caucus binding.

Of removing the differental was offered by
Mr.. Swanson, of Virginia, but that the
other resolution making that action binding
