WASHINGTON GOSSIP

The length of this session of the fifty
eighth congress will apparently depend
on the Panama complication in the
senate. But for that a very early ad-
journment of congress would be expected,
perhaps early as May. No other sub
ject threatens to consume much time At
least, it is the republican program to keep
out all time-consuming and debate pro-
voking themes, and this they will in the
main be able to accomplish with the eX-
ception of the canal topic There the
democrats have a chance to make a fight.
Democratic efforts may be quietly sup
plemented by railroad and other influences
which are opposed to any canal 1t is
possible that small contingent of Mica :

is not quite certain how things will sound
from his new elevation. Whenever he
uses one of his homely phrases from the
chair it is apt to provoke some merrlment,
and this the speaker is a little less inclined
to invite than when he plain Illinois
representative. AS his confidence increases
the tones of his voice will strengthen.
The chamber of the house is a hard one
in which to make ones self heard at best.
While Speaker Cannon is thus far max
ing an exceedingly favorable impression,
no stage Of discomfort has yet been
reached. This will first come when his
committee places are announced. Any
speakers estimates of men always fail
to coincide with the aggregate individual
estimates which the members make OF
themselves. Instead of seventeen places
on the ways and means committee there
would have to be about 200 to meet the
latter requirement.
! Contrary to the prevalent opinion there
are certain methods of appeal from the
| opinion of the chair in regard to commit
| tee assignments. The most audacious one
| is for the disappointed member to get an
amendment made to the rules OF the house
/ increasing by two the membership OF the
committee on which he desires to serve.
This has occasionally been done. OF
course, such remonStrant, would need to
be possessed of considerable influence
with the majority leadership, and his COM
/ mittee would have to be one not already

would be necessary to preserve party bal

A second recourse comes in the changes
made by deaths and designations and the
unseating of members in contested cleo

i man gets the places that his predecessor
had and in these arrangements there
lis often opportunity for the prom ot1on OF
older men, Then, there is an occasional
change made by mutual agreement be
/ tween two members who are both dissatis-

the existing stipend is wholly inadequate.
and that few men without private fortunes
will consent to remain in public life. With
every congress not Few useful men
quietly drop out on this account. A New
England representative used to say face
tiously that there were two classes of men,
speaking from the financial point Of view,
who should come to congress Those who
were rich that no amount OF appeal for
money could affect them adversely, and
those so poor that the worst hanger-On
would not waste his time in hunting them
up. AS this member said. he belonged to
neither class, and so congress was no
place for him.

much it costs a man to be in congress,

means to-day, in discussing this subject.

can say that suffrage has been a failure.
Every just man realizes that the priestess
of the fireside altar needs the ballot to
protect the sacred interests intrusted to
her. Every privilege granted woman forti-
fies the manhood of the state. A perfect
civilization depends upon the equal and
joint reign of man and woman.
Our experiment has brought good to
man and no harm to home or to woman;
there are only six women in the peni-
tentiary and 900 men.
The sweetness of woman has not been
lost, her character has not been tainted,
her nature has not changed. The man
who patented the baby incubator has gone
into bankruptcy.
Colorado manhood has given to women
those symbols of liberty. the ballot and
the latch-ke and after ten years they
have no regrets, and would not take them
back if they could.

talked tells him that the machine COM
position ought to have been adopted years
ago. Nobody doubts this. The pertinent
question is whether congress will dare to
adopt it now. The labor unions. it is
pointed out cannot consistently object
when their members are using machines
in every congressional district in the
country. How, it is asked, can the Wash
ingtOn printers ask their typographical
associates in St. Louis to vote against a
congressman who supported this proposal,
SO long as the st. Louis printers them
selves are submitting to typesetting ma
chimes? Would trades unionism, with it's
strong sympat thies toward state socialism,
care to lay down the principle that gov
ernment operations should be more waste
full than those of private enterprises?
Republican, democratic and populist news
papers all use the typesetting machine.
Where is there room for a party issue?
| 1t is also pointed out that unionism has
not suffered by the coming Of machine
composition. since the membership of the
| typographical unions has steadily gone up
| as the use of this machinery has pro-
gressed. Cheap printing has meant so
