Quay's Defeat.

The Saturday Evening Post, Phia-
delphia. IN reviewing the last days of the
short session of the last congress, gives
attention to the defeat of the statehood
bill which was eniained by Senator Quay
of Pennsylvania. We quote from this
article as follows;
1.-THE fight for the statehood bill was
one of the most important struggles that
has occurred Ia Congress for a genera.
ton. 1t was not important in and of
itself but involved many important
things. On the surface the fight seemed
to be merely the endeavor OF the East to
keep out four Western States, and it
appeared that Senator Quay, who WAS
powerful In the National Republican
Convention that promised statehood to
the territories, WAS merely keeping his
word. The facts are that Senator QUAY.
who Is always loyal to his business
friends, was trying TO help them In
business way. A number OF gentlemen
formerly of Pennsylvania have some
railroad propositions in the territories of
New Mexico and Arizona. 20 y
Quay's bill provided for the admission of
four states: Arizona, New Mexico,
Oklahoma and the Indian Territory.
Probably these states would send eight
Democratic Senators to Washington.
That lined up the Democrats solidly for
the BILL"
Theoretically, Quay should have won
his statehood fight. He was trained
fighter. he knew the game from start
to finish. He commanded clear ma
jority. He had the immense advantage
of a champion who had never been
whipped. The righteous minority was
afraid of him. No well-known leader
cared to risk his reputation by fighting
Quay. Beverage led the fight. He was
a David to Quay's Goliath; Quay despis-
ed his youthful adversary, and began to
preen himself on his victory and spread
his plumage. Whereupon he fell into
pts. He made strategical blunder after
blunder; he seemed fated to do the
wrong thing. Sheer decency won, and
Beveridge-the youngest senator-who
went into losing fight and managed it
with skill far beyond that which his
previous experience had developed and
his reputation had credited him with,
came out real leader in the Senate
not in the first class, but at the head of
the second class, with show for pro-
motioD."

Among the Army Colonies who have
recently been promoted to bril- adler
generals are j. B. Rawles and Jared A.
Smith. Gen. Rawles is a brother of
Henry Rawles of Skowhegan and Gen.
Smith in his early boyhood days resided
In the town of Mercer in this county.
Following are brief sketches of their
army services:
Col. j. B. Rawles, during the civil war,
served at posts In Pennsylvania and New
York to December, 1862; In the depart
ment Of the gulf to 1864, and In army of
the Potomac until the end OF the war.
Since the close of the war he served con-
tinuouslv with his regiment at various
posts throughout the United States.
Had no field service during Spanish
American war and has never served in
Philippine Islands.
Col. Jared A. Smith was with Gen.
vember, 1862. On duty at West Point,
N. Y, from November, 1852, to August,

Few people, omparatively,a ARE aware of
the extent of the reindeer enterprise car
ried on in Alaska at this time. The
National Geographic Magazine for April
contains important data on this subject.
But twelve years ago DR.. Sheldon Jack
son brought his first herd of 16 reindeer
across Behring Strait from Siberia. Other
herds numbering nearly 900 have been
brought over since and now there are
5000 head along the Alaskan coast. AL
though In its infancy the enterprise is
no longer an experiment. There are
400, 600 square miles in Alaska where no
horse, COW, sheep or goat can find pas
ture but the long white fiberOus moss
upon which the reindeer thrives, abounds.
There is plenty of room for 100000 of
these hardy animals. Congress has since
1894 appropriated various sums for the
introduction of domestic reindeer into
Alaska, aggregating $685. 600 Since 1900,
$25 900 have been appropriated annually.
This animal already fills a very important
place in the economy of things in that
part of Alaska where 1t has been intro
duced and is likely to become a source
of large revenue in that frozen country.
II is estimated, that at present rate of
increase, within % years there will be
at least 100000 domesticated reindeer
in Alaska, and that reindeer trains will
roll Into Seattle and other cities of the
extreme West, as cattle trains now
thunder into the yards of Chicago. 1t
is big country that grows reindeer at
one extreme and tropical products at the
other,

One may get something of an idea of
the great army of government employees
at Washington by taking a position of
vantage commanding view of the
treasury, war; state and navy buildings
at O'Clock p. M, when the days work
is over. A stream of humanity flows
from these buildings at this hour made
up of all adult ages, and both sexes.
There are no strikes In this army OF
laborers, their wages, except in cases of
promotion, remain the same whether
times are good or bad, and there are
always people on the waiting lists. So
called hard times, when the products of
the country are low and living cheap,
are good times to them as their wages
will purchase more of the necessaries
and luxuries of life than in good times
when money is plentiful and products
on rising market. These places in the
departments are considered desirable
and are usually life jobs; but to the
ambitious young man, who has the abil-
ity to succeed in general life work, they
are really detriment. Department clerk
ships are hard to get and when got
unfit men and women for other callings.
Business callings are very much better
and opportunities for success therein
much greater.

Three hundred dollars is by no means
an exorbitant sum to pay Maine legis-
lator for three months work at Augusta
and the Legislature that adjourned Satur-
day last. Half that sum has been the
stipend for many years in Maine If not
for all time since the admission Of the
State to the Union. One thing Is out Of
Joint in the matter of compensation of
members; the mileage. Ii the actual
expense of travel by public conveyance,
from the home of the member to Angus
ia and return, instead of mileage had
been put into the act it would have been
more equitable.
