Congressman RcsIgas His Seat.

| The following comes. as a well
come surprise in these days when
the talk of degenerate politics Is
on every lip. The action Of Con-
gresham Shaforth is much to his
credit, though it is most unusual,
We're there more politicians like
him, the politics of the country
would rise to a point Of respect
not now known, but very much to
be desired:
Washington, Feb. 15.-Volun-
UNFAIRLY relinquishiDg his seat as
a member Of Of the house of Rep
resentatives, MIR. ShafrO5h Dem. }
of the First district of Colorado,
furnished a profound sensation
during the forty-minute session
today.
The manly and earnest words
of the Colorado member fairly
took the breath of the house as
he proceeded to put the first case
on record in that body where a
member gave up his seat, ac-
knowledging that his election had
been tainted by fraud.
For this fraud Mr.. Shafroth de-
clared he was not in any way re-
sponsible, nor was he aware that
it had been perpetrated until the
evidence had been adduced be-
fore the elections committee OF
the house. 1t was not done, he
said, further, for the purpose of
causing bis election.
AS he announced the conclu-
sion of eight years service in this
manner, most unsatisfactory to
himself, his voice betokened the
emotion he felt. The hush which
spread over the floor and CALLER
les when the purport Of his re-
marks was realized became al
most painful. But when he sat
down, with words of thanks on
his lips for the treatment he had
received from his colleagues on
both sides of the chamber, ap-
pIause burst forth and continued
long and heartily. The Demo-
cratic members arose almost en-
masse and extended personal ex-
pressions Of sympathy and en-
couragement.

GRAND DIVY OF
 IRRIGATION FUND
IF THE PLANS OF SOME POLITi
 CLANS WOR KOUT.
Amount fer Irrigation work Now Ag- gregates Twienty-FiVei Million Dol lars, and Still Growing.

Washington. Dec Eff the plans of sone of the politicians at Washing ton work out as proposed there will be a grand divvy'' Of the irrigation fund This fund has grown rapidly
 since the enactment of the irrigation law until it is now in the neighborhood of 9 million dollars. and growing at the rate of between three and four million dollars a year, as the result of the sales of western public lands
 When the bill became law the work of administration was immediately placed in the hands of the Geological Survey-under the Secretary of the lnterior-which had for fifteen years been studying the irrigation resources of the west, and it has been carried on by the Reclamation Service of the Survey upon strictly non-political lines, the test of irrigation projects being not the amount of political in- fluence which western senators and Representatives could exert upon this scientific branch of the govern ment. but the feasibility of projects, whether there were good farming lands and good water supplies and whether the works could be construct ed at a cost which would guarantee the prompt colonization of the tracts and the repayment to the government by the settlers of it's money invested.
 This businesslike feature of the law has caused it to grow in popularity, es- pecially in the east. as it's provisions have become better known through the prominence given the subject by the press.
 But there are always malcontents and in the case of the irrigation law the pie counter politicians have de- termined that this high plane of ad- ministration is of no benefit to them. They want politician, not a scientist, at the head of the Reclamation Serv- ice. Senator Hansbrough was much at the failure to get his bill, introduced with this intent. be- fore the Senate for action last session and he is credited with the statement that he will secure it's passage this winter. Further, the boast has been
