Arapahoe and La Plata are not the
only counties in the state where fu
sion commissioners have run things
wide open and allowed fayorites to
profit at the expense of the taxpayers.
Investigations will no doubt reveal a
general rottenness, and nowhere is
misgovernment running under greater
hoadway than in state affairs. There
is a force of useless employees in al
most every department spending their
time electioneerlng. Well-informed
persons say the state land board is
overrun with employees and at the
same time the affairs of the office are
muddled while the heads are on po-
litical missions. Money Is being wrdng
from the taxpayers Of the state to pay
the bills and The Herald announces
right now that taxes will pc higher In

put stop to this kind of business and
the voters are going to take the mat

BRIDGE WHIST AND HASH
DISCUSSED WITH HANNA
Two Important Conferences at the SEN
ator's Residence, One of Which
the President Attends.

Two highly important conferences in
volving questions upon the proper set
tlement of which depends. in a large
measure. the future happiness and pros
perity of the United States. have been
held at the residence OF Senator Hanna
on Lafayette Square.
The first one took place Friday night.
and was attended by Senator Mark a.
Hanna of Ohio, Senator Nelson w. AID
rich of Rhode Island. Senator George
E. Perkins of California. Secretary of
War Elihu Root of New Yorl. and Post
master General Henry c. Payne of Wis
consis; and Miss Phelps, of Ohio. Mrs.
Hannas sister
The conference met in an upstairs
room at the Senator's house. and was
continued until after midnight The
subject discussed was bridge whist. of
which Senator Hanna is very fond, but
fondness he gets little opportunity to
indulge in Washington, owing to the
great pressure of his Senatorial and
other duties.
There was no mystery about this con-
ference, as 1t was plainly visible through
the open windows TO that portion of the
public that walked by Lafayette Square
while ii was in progress.
The second of this series of confer
ences on public affairs took place yes
terday morning. in a downstairs room
of the same residence. 1t began at $50,
and lasted until 1890. Those present
were the President. Senator Hanna, Sec
retary Root, Postmaster General Payne.
and Miss Phelps.
This time the matter being considered
was corned beef hash. for which the
Hanna household is famous. M Hanna
says that his guests hearing that he
was serving breakfasts now to friends
whose wives are out of town, invited
themselves, and that they enjoyed the
breakfast very much, and declared the

One of Warmest Spots These Days.

Washington has experienced bit OF
summer weather during the last few
days. as those who have been forced 10
remain in town well know. and again
is the old stereotyped question going the
rounds: "Is this hot enough for you?'
People are wont to complain of the
weather at all times. but in summer. es-
pecially when they feel uncomfortable.
they do not hesitate to vent their wrath
on the weather man.
There is good reason. too, why the
weather man should be criticised. for
he has held out hopes day after day
for showers, rains, and variable winds
and the city has been refreshed but little
by them.
With the mercury soaring up in the
nineties, the people hasten to the ther-
mometer and then they roast" the poor
forecaster whom many believe delights
in bringing misery TO his fellow-men.
Still they should be thankful to him for
he has held out hopes, and some day the
temperature is bound to come down.
Not Quite So Warm.
To many it appeared that yesterday
was much warmer than the preceding
day. but it was not On the contrary.
at the hottest period of the day. 4
O'Clock in the afternoon, the thermome-
ter registered 81, while at the same time
the previous day it was "a degrees.
So with other periods throughout the
day it ranged about three degrees below
that recorded on the previous day. At
10 o'clock last night, however, it was

previous night at the same hour. when 1t
came down TO II.

hope held out by the weather man for
the District OF Columbia and Maryland.

1t is this threatening of rain which
has made the people feel so uncomfort-
able. and who can tell but that the
clouds will still postpone the downpour
