THE VEHEMENT HRosIUs

The most vehement speaker in congress
in recent times was Representative Bro
sius. His gesticulation was Of violents en-
ergy. Private John Allen used to say
that whenever Mr.. Brosius made speech
he burst his suspenders. One afternoon
Mr.. Allen and a party were watching
Brosius exertions. There they go now
Allen exclaimed. t'I'll' bet you his gall
luses parted that time or else he lost both
buttons at the rear of his trousers. AS
soon as he stops talking we. will go over
and find out about it, After ten minutes
more Of gesticulatfons the gifted orator
sat down, wiping the moisture that
streamed from his brow and his cheeks.
His collar was wilted, his hair was sat
urated with Precipitation and his shirt
front showed visible evidences Of the
struggle. Mr.. Allen approached the mat
ter delicately, calling the member by his
first name, cornplirnenting him upon his
speech and the force of his delivery, and
finally remarking that he (Allen) could
not indulge very much in gesticplation
without busting his galluses. - Mine
parted about the middle of my remarks, .
remarked the orator, innocently, where
upon Allen shook hands with him again
and led his party away.

Commercial Clubs and Congressmen
After an Appropriation of
Half Million.
Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal.
Sioux City, Ioka, Sept. 25.-The CONNER
cial clubs Of the cities between Sioux City
and Kansas City on the Missouri river are
planning a meeting the middle of next
month to arrange memorial to congress
asking an appropriation Of $500, 900 for the
Strengthening Of the river banks and con-
structing ripraps at Dakota City and De-
catur The clubs will have the support
OF many Of the congressman along the
river.
Senator Willard of Omaha has Just COM
pleted his official Investigation Of the
damage done by the river at Decatur and
Dakota City and reports that the river is
likely to cut back into the former chan
mel and return to Iowa a large slice of Me-
braska that originally came from Iowa.
The Iowa commercial clubs will not
oppose acquisition OF territory, says the
senator, but what Is wanted in all the
states on the river is the prevention of
floods.
It IS estimated that nearly the sum
demanded from congress has been lost
by farmers in the last few years because
of the corroding current Of the river. Con-
gresham Elmer Burkett of the first,
Hitchcock OF the second and J.. j. Nc
Carthy Of the third, with Walter L Smith
Of Iowa, are working with Senator Willard
to forward the plan.

counts interesting scraps Of philosophy, OF

Smyrna when a boy. The other day he

a hole In it.
g There is little hole in your robe.

it?' asked.
" For the sake of appearance, Adjib
answered. "A hole he went on, may be
an accident of the most recent happening.
A hole will pass upon a king, a noble, or
the most rich and powerful person. But
a darn is the sign of poverty. There Is
no getting around It, no misunderstanding
it. I cannot afford to wear a darned

at the queerness Of the order, and handed
it to the boy, asking as he did SO:
Did your mother send the money or
does she want the goods charged?"
The boy seized the bill and said, with
sign of satisfaction:
Ma didn't send me at all. It's my

MINT EMPLOYE A THIEF FLOODS ON THE MISSOURI

Hundley, assistant weighing clerk in the
United States mint, has been charged by
Secret Service Agent Burns with the theft
Of 5000 in gold dust. The dust was taken
to the mint on Tuesday afternoon by two
miners. They could not have the deposit
accepted at the time and 1t was carried
over until the next day.
It Is said that Hundley took portion of
the treasure and secreted 1t in saloon
near the mint, where it was found by the
secret service men. Hundley was q
confidential man in the weighing depart
ment. He had charge Of all deposits and
handled thousands Of dollars every day.
He has been employed at the mint for a
number of years. His resignation has
been accepted and it is said he will not be

The Millers' Strike,

The workmen in the mills are entitled
to credit for having done square thing
when they, after having declared their in
til the work in hand was completed and
the grinding stopped without entailing
loss upon the mill owners. from unfin-
ished work. There is pretty good evil
dence in this Of the amicable relations
which have heretofore existed between
dustry.
The appeal Of the employees to arbitra-
ton is calculated to gain for them con-
siderable public sympathy. On the other
hand, it is undoubtedly true that the mil
lers Of Minneapolis have received better
wages and have worked under better con-
ditions than obtain anywhere else in this
industry and it is well understood that
no industry of this kind can be carried
on under conditions Of expense material
ly different from those which exist in
competing establishments Of similar
character In other places.
The employing millers contend that with
the experience before them that arbitra :
ton usually results in compromise and
with their belief that they cannot yield
anything more to the demands
of their employees at this time,
it is Impossible for them to
regard the controversy as one for arbitra-
ton. AS to this, we have no expert
knowledge, and, as we have said before,
no advice to give, altho we know that
arbitration Of disputes of this kind is the
popular method and that an appeal to it
is calculated to enlist popular favor.

Chamberlain's Escape.

A correspondent of The Journ /
from Montreal, who betrays an under
standing of British politics, writes to
lain's resignation and the political crisis
In England, pointing out that Mr. Cham
berlain is resigning, not because Mr.. Bal
four has refused to indorse the Chamber
lain policy, but because he sees that Bal
four's policy cannot command any con-
he foresees the early downfall Of the Bal
four administration. A procuring cause
of this state Of feeling 1t is pointed out,
is the education act, which has alienated
the nonconformfst voters and provoked
them to open hostility. Recent disclosures
with regard to the conduct OF the war In
Africa have also contributed to the un-
popularity Of the administration. All OF
this Mr.. Cham berlatn rightly estimates,
and he is shrewd enough to abandon the
sinking ship before it goes down.
