JOHN SHARP WILLIAMS in a recent
foolish speech at Spartanburg, South
Carolina, said that Congress is going
to cut down Southern representa-
ton and be advised that at the
next eIs ction the South choose the
same number Of representatives rs at
presents and that they all apply tor'scals
md 1t any are refused seats the en-
ire Southern delegation should with
lraw and refuse to participate Ill the
National councils. Mr.. Williams i,
,bundantly informed and is cognizqnl
II the fact that If justice be done the
south their representation will be d.
minished III the same proportion thar
voters in the Southern States have
5een distranchised. The gentleman
4hows a lack of good judgment whei
le advises Southern Representatives
. withdraw from and sever their
connection with the National Con
.ress. Such a spirit precipitated the
reat war of the rebellion with its IN
old suffering, strife and less of prop

Washington Letter.

W hlnE lpn, -. ~, bFC' ) ~ '
The chief interest in Washington
he past week has been the work Of
Congress, what it will do and what II
.annot do for the want of time. A
committee OF Republican Senators has
leld a meeting and decided that Gen
raj Legislation for this season OF
Congress must be confned to the
statehood and Philippine bills /
his resolution Is maintained many
)et scheme will 60 over until next
December. including the bills for the
proposed new spportionment OF Rep.
resentatives on account Of Southern
iisfranc isement; and the Cooper
Quarles bill which would give the
Interstate Commerce Commission
power to regulate railroad rates and
tares.
II Congress approves of the Presi-
ient's recommendation Of a Federal
Inspection service of all railway roll
.ng stock, to ascertain u 1t Is provid.
ID with the best kind OF brakes, and
fithey are In working order. It Il
pointed out that the inspectors will
dave to examine 500, 900 freight
:ars, 80, 600 passenger cars and 43 900
engines. This would give employ.
ment to a vast number OF men and
cause some travelling.
1t Is announced that the holiday
rec. 81 will begin on the 10TH and las,
until the sth of January. The Phil
ippine government bill will come up
in the senate for a vote on the 10th
From the fact that Senator Plat, OF
New York, and Rers sentative Crum-
packer, of Indiana, and Morrell. Of
Pennsylvania, have each introduced
bills into Congress for the reduction
If represent alton from the Southern
States. In proportion to the disran-
chise mept of male citizens III years OF
age, it Is apparent that a determined
effort will:be N ade to effect such an
arrangement. Long and bitter oppo-
sition may be expected, and II 1t three
tens to hinder needed legislation. the
whole matter must go over to the
next Congress. Thus far the Presi-
dent has taken no part In the agita-
ton. and efforts to draw him out have
failed.
When Secretary Taft returns from
Panama, he will, at the request of the
President, take up the case OF the
Widows and dependents of Soldiers In
Philadelphia, who for many years
have been making soldiers uniforms,
but who are now deprived Of the work
by contractors. " An exhaustive study
Of the whole question Is desired.
The Ouartermaster General Is In ia
vor of the contractors, but the Presi-
dent would gladly give the work to
the poor women II the statutes allow
him to do so. The contractors bid to
make the kersey trousers worn by
soldiers tor thirty-seven and oue-hali
cents a pair. The women used to get
: 5cents tor the same work. 1t APP
pears that out OF 10000 garments
made last year by the ssamstresses
only IL were elected, while a larger
per cent OF the contract work was re.
ected upon the first examination.

WARD COUNTY MAN
AS A GARDENER
E. D. Skinner Tells the independent How he
has Made Success Of Gardening and
Raising Small Fruit Will Now 60 Into
Shrubbery Business==ls Quite an Exten-
sive Farmer too.

The Independent had the pleas
ure OF visit to our Office OF one
of the most successful raisers Of
garden vegetables and small
fruits in the state, Mr.. +. D..
Skinner, Of Sawyer. He was in
terviewed by reporter and the
information which he gave us
will prove to be very valuable to
our readers. He has been in the
business for y years in the ia
nous Mouse River valley in an
ideal spot a mile and a half from
Sawyer, in this county, Is miles
southeast of Minot. He is one
of the old timers, coming here in
July, 1886, and by the way, this
has been the hardest winter of
them all he says.
Mr.. May, the well known seed
house man, sent two men to his
place last fall, to get pointers, it
is supposed, and they must have
got them. Mr.. Skinner is farm
ing or gardening 65 acres ofland.
He raises considerable corn every
year and finds an excellent mar
ket for the seed. He came here
IN the early days when there were
real hardships and now that the
county has advanced to be one
of the greatest in the state, he
deserves to reap some benefits.
This year he will SOW some bar
ley, spring rye, speltz,;; wheat,
oats and plant corn in addition
to putting in a very large gar
den, consisting ofevery vegetable
that could be named. His small
fruit business is no small matter.
During the past three years he
has sold on the average 1000
quarts of small fruits at a good
price, having a market in Minot.
Last summer he contracted with
q restaurant owner at Harvey
to ship him /. "a quart case Of
currents each day and received
% each day for the same.
