Resolutions.

amendments to the bylaws at the after
noon session occupied to-day's meeting OF
the National wholesale Lumber Dealers
Association.
A resolution was adopted to establish a
transportation bureau for the protection Of

against the railroads. The report of the
committee on railroads recommended this
bureau, as the result of complaints of in
sufficient supply of cars, delay in delivery OF
carloads, excessive weights and overcharges
as the result OF alleged carelessness of the
railroads, delay caused by methods of ad-
justing overcharge claims. unwarranted de-
murrage charges and lack of uniformity of
rates

Asher Caruth, of Louisville. used tell story
about the early portion Of the last century.
when great droves of hogs were driven from
Tennessee and Kentucky to the gulf sold
in the Gulf States. One night boss drover
halted at farmhouse and made arrangements
for feeding his hogs and helpers. and also for
his own accommodation. The hogs were fed,
the drovers. who had been foot all day. had
their suppers and went 10 bed. The boss drover
had his supper and sat on the front porch with
the farmer. drew out his pipe. filled ii and
struck lucifer match on his boot.
He had been in his buggy all day and didn't
need sleep so much as the fellows who had
'hoofed it, all day. The farmer arose. looked
at him as he lighted his pipe and asked him if
he could strike fire out Of his foot again. The
old fellow had never a match nor ever
heard of one. When the boss drover struck an
ether match the old farmer said, you an
you uns git out right quick. Wake 'em all up
an git out You uns is the devil. 1 seed ye
make the fire come outen your foot, an smells

FOLLOWING THE BUTCHER.

1t has been suggested by a number of
more or less able American newspaper
strategists that Russia is making a great
mistake in putting General Kuropatkin in
command Of the active land forces at the
front. 1t is pointed out that he is merely
a brutal fighter; that he possesses none of
the finer qualities of intellect and genius
that fit man to be a great general; that
he is simply a fearless, bloody minded,
red-handed bruiser, whose place is in the
ranks where he can do more bayonet work
and less head work
This is hasty conclusion, drawn from
descriptions of General Kuropatkins ex-
PLOTS in former times. That he is a
butcher there can be no doubt; but there
is no evidence that he does not possess
other qualities. The Russian soldiers are
in need of leader of just his kind. He
will get out of his men the stoutest, most
merciless kind OF fighting. There is not a
man of them who does not know his record,
and his strong. If ferocious personality,
will impress itself on the big bearded men
that follow him as no less distinguished
sort of character could do.
1t has been twenty-five years since the
capture of Cock Tepe; perhaps KuropatlIin
has become somewhat less sanguinary
with age. But If he should live TO be a
hundred and in that time should become as
mild hammered and soft hearted as any
humanitarian of the age, he could never
live down the memory of that dreadful day.
Cock Tepe was a fortress in central Asia
held by the Turkomans and besieged for a
month by Russian forces under Skobelelf.
Kuropatlxn was the active commander, and
when at last the stronghold fell he gave
orders to give no quarter on account of age
or sex. And here he added the browning
touch TO the unlovely reputation as a
human tiger which he had gained in the
Russo-Turkish war. The words OF an eye
witness give a faint IDEA of the glories OF
| civilized warfare as exemplified by this
| famous general. He says: The whole
country was covered with corpses. The
morning after the battle they lay in rows
like freshly mown hay. as they had been
swept down by the mitraiIIeurs and artillery.
| Hundreds OF women were sabered, and ]
myself saw little babies bayoneted or
sIashed TO pieces. Many women were dis
] honored before bein= killed. The trooos.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.

WASHINGTON, March 3.-Fear of pub
lie wrath prevents the national lawmakers
from increasing their own salaries. Sena-
tor Hoar had the courage to declare on the
floor OF the Senate that $500 a year was
not enough for a member Of Congress. In
the old days, he said, the amount was suf-
ficient Then. he argued, the cost Of living
was insignificant, compared TO what il 10
to-day. 1t costs more TO live in WASH
ington now than ever before. Everybody
has the dinner habit. The representative
or senator is required TO give from three
to six dinners each session. The custom IL
fixed and no one can avoid ii.
1t is doubtful, however. whether any at
tempt will be made at this session or in
some years to increase the salaries Of sena-
tors and representatives. BY many this is
regarded as unfortunate, because of the
hardship IL imposes on men OF limited
means. The same thing holds true OF Cabi-
net members. There is really not a poor
man in the Cabinet to-day. A Cabinet min
lister rule expends more for house rent
every year that he receives from the gov
eminent AS a result many men OF ability

and members OF the Cabinet $1,000; speaker
of the House, SO 900, and senator's, repre-
sentatives and delegates, $500. Senator Cal
linger will use this measure as a basis for
agitating increased salaries for the officials
named.
