SENATE RED LIGHTS.
When They Shine, August Body Is
in Secret Session.
What Happens Then Behind the
Well-Guarded Doors Nobody
Gets TO Know, Except In
Isolated Cases.
Especial washington letter.

HIS government Of ours is divided
into three branches, which are
equal in power under the con-
Stitution. The executive, meaning the
president, who controls all of the exec
utiVe departments; the legislative, in
GLIDING the senate and house of repre-
sentatlves, and the judicial, which
means the supreme court.
The executive and legislative
branches of the government are elect
ed by the people; but the supreme
court is composed of individuals ap-
pointed by the president, and confirmed
by the senate. Consequently, the
supreme court is farthest removed
from the people, although it is, and
always has been, the safe conservator
of the rights of the>people under their
constitution. 1t was the purpose of
the trainers of the constitution to give
to the people everlastingly the right
to choose their own president and
legislators; but, with wise discretion,
they removed from the direct power
Of popular impulse, the great judicial
tribunal. Therefore, in this govern
ment of the people, by the people and
for the people, the supreme court is
free from the immediate power of the
people.
Or course, the people elect their presi-
dents, and those presidents nominate
Judges of the supreme court. Of
course, the people, through their legis-
latures, elect the senator's who con-
firm the judicial nominations, which
are made by the president; but when
those judges are installed they are so
far removed from the people that their
judgments are free from any politi-
cal influence whatever. On this &C
count, mainly, the decisions of the
supreme court have universally been
commended by fair minded men of all
political affiliations. Even the famous
bred Scott decision is admitted to
have been an absolutely correct in
depreciation of the constitution; be-
cause the constitution, unamended,
gave the negro mo rights which q white
man was bound to respect" Even the
amended constitution does not compel
that respect which was intended to be
compelled, because there has always
been a lack of vigor in the enforce
ment of the amendments and of the
civil rights statute.
1t has become the duty of President
Roosevelt to select two justices of Ihe
supreme court, and those selections
have met with popular approval, as
well as senatorial consent. Other
presidents have had great difficulty
at times, in selecting for these impor-
tant positions men whose nominations
were wholly in accord with the views
of a majority of the senator's.
The nominations sent to the senate
by the president are always considered
In executive session; and what SEN
atOrs say when all of the doors are
closed cannot be ascertained by the
general public. In those sessions the
statesmen talk very freely, and vent
their views without always maintain
ing that decorum of demeanor and that
courtesy to each other, which are pro-
verbal when the senate is in public
session.
When the senate is in executive
session a red light appears over the

RESERVATION IS FLOURiSHING
Fred hosreIius Tells Of the Conditions In the
Reservation Country - The Fields are an
Eden to the Farmers tert

T. Hogrelins, representative OF the
Penn Mutual Life Insurance Company,
returned yesterday from trip to ali of
the towns on the reservation. 1t was
the first time that Mr.. Hogrelins had
ever been in that country snd he de-
clares the fields to be a veritable para
disc for the farmer. The rains Satur-
day stopped the many threshing ma.
chimes operating in the fields Of the grain
setions but heavy winds blew yesterday
and dried the stacks so that work can be
resumed today. Everywhere the thresh-
ers have been they h I'VE found yields OF
from 40 to 90 bushels of wheat and 60 to
90 bushels Of oats and barley. The fax
crop is short, producing in sotne places
less than q bushels to the acre.i1,it
One of the best fields Of wheat, op the
reservation belongs to Tom Springston.
1t was raised by Mr.. Springston on the
Ogelsby ranch near Nezperce. The rs
acres threshed more than $500 bushels.
Dave Chapman. farmer near Nezpe rec,
had field of 400 acres of barley that pro-
duced IS, 900 bushels of barley measured
at the thresber. These are immense
yields but the reservation is a grand

Imnaha will Open whitsbird Country.

The upper river steamer on the Snake
is making arrangements to run regular
trips from Lewiston to Pittsburg Landing
only IL miles from Whitebiid When
this becomes fact-which it will as soon
as the government engineers remove
few more rocks and the river raises
little-a stage line will be put on between
Whitebird and the Landing and the time
of travel between Lewiston, Thunder
Mountain and Boise shortened between
two and three days; aud the Sites Hill
aud dangerous Cottonwood creek cut out
altogether. Pittsburg Landing will be
one of the best shipping and receiving
points and busiest places anywhere OH
the upper Snake river. 1t will handle
trade from a large section of Eastern
Oregon and on the Idaho side. Trade is
tributary for hundreds of miles in every
direction. Should the navigation of the
upper Snake prove a permanent success
from Lewiston to Pittsburg Landingt
there will be plenty of carrying-both
ways-for three steamboats, on this route.
The Landing is only q miles from White

NEE PIERCE CROPS DAMAGED
Rain Began Falling Saturday at Noon and there
Are No Indications OF Fair Weather-Mueh
Grain Has Begun to Heat in the Sack.

Nez Petce, Sept. S-IIatv st operations
on the prairie are again at a standstill.
1t began to rain Saturday noon and there
is very little indications of clear weather.
Much damage has already resulted from
the continued wet weather. The grain
that was threshed Immediately after the
first rains two weeks ago has i'll many
cases heated in the sacks and of con-
sequence is badly damaged. A careful
estimate places the amount of grain cut
at one third of the crop, the amount
stacked at one fourth and the amount
threshed at one eighth. Many machine
gangs did not work during the past two
Sundays, but it is safe to-predict that not
another minute of daylight will be wasted
Sunday included. The yields continue
fine. Oats are going from 90 to 100
bushels, fax IA bushels and barley from
so to 80 bushels One field of SO acres Of
barley belonging to Will Eastman was
threshed last week which averaged 76
bushels to the acre.
The poles are all up for the electric
light wire line and force will he put to
work Monday stringing the wire. 1t is
hoped to have the plant in operation by
October Ist.
Building operations are affected by the
continued wet weather and the saw mill
men are unable to fill their orders owing
to the bad condition of the roads.
The price of hogs continues to rise and
cents was paid this week for fat stock.
About 80 carloads were shipped from the
prairie during the month of August.

Hartman VIII Move,

The return of F. II. Hartman from
Europe is expected by railroad men to be
followed by the announcement of definite
plans for the o. R. & N. in the north
west, says the Oregonian. Mr.. Harri-
man is expected to make definite
answer to a number of construction ques-
tions within the coming week.
While there is every reason TO believe
that Mr. Hartman is fully advised Of the
northwestern situation, railroad men hold
to the opinion that he has not announced
decision on any Of the matters affecting
the northwest because of desire to con-
fer with officials Of his lines in New
York.
The recent incorporation of the Wash
ington & Idaho Railroad Company by
officials Of the O. r. & N. aud the an
lnouncement, in the articles of incorpora-
ton, that the road intended to build up
the Snake river from Riparia to Lewis
ton is regarded as an indication that the
Hartman interests intended to re enter
the controversy for the control Of the
traffic of the Clearwater country. 1t is
conteuded by local officials of the o. r.
& N. that no information regarding the
plans of the company in the Clearwater
has been rec .ived here. but it is con-
tended that the o. R. & N. intends to
carry out the plans suggested in the
articles of incorporation. The three in
Icorporators of the new line are o. r, &
In. officials, W. H Kennedy being chief
engineer, j. N. Teal and James w
Wilson being connected with the legal
department of the road.
The proposal to build from Riparia to
Lewiston and from Spokane to Beliing-
ham Bay are two threats Of invasion into
TERRITORY which the Northern Pacific has
claimed. That, these threats have been
received in silence has probably been
due to the absence OF Mr.. Hartman.
Following his return, it is anticipated
that a more definite understanding of the
colnpany's plans will be had.
A. L. Mohier. president Of the o. r. s
N, is now in the east and is expected tC
lhold conference with Mr.. Hartman a
once While 1t may be no announce
ment will be made Of new o. r. & N
plans for several days, 1t Is felt that SOM
decisions will be made known next week

ed into the hall, followed by several
dogs, and, jumping on the table, sat up
before Lord Howth as if appealing for
protection. He saved its life, and from
that moment it never quilted him. At
last he set out on foreign tour, accom-
panied by his brother, who persuaded
him to leave the rat behind.
Sitting in a hotel at Marseilles, the
door suddenly flew open, and the rat,
dripping wet, came crawling in and
went straight to the fire to dry itself.

intrusion, seized the poker and dashed
out the rats brains. You have MUIR
