There is now on the Senate CAL
ender a Statehood bill which will
received the hearty support of a
large majority of the Republicans
and which majority hopes will be-
come law. Substantially, it pro-
vides for the old two States pro-
position, making Oklahoma and In
dian Territory one state and Arizona
and New Mexico another, but pro-
viding that each may resolve itself
into a single state when 1t attains
to a precribed population. The
bill is certain TO meet with serious
opposition from the Democrats who
believe that the area of these terri
tories warrants their being repre-
sented by eight instead of four.

In this issue we publish a letter
written by Harry L. Boone, son of
7. M. Boone of Kingwood, to Rec
tor Posten, son of WILDER Posten at
Morgantown. The letter tells Of
Boone's bad fix from vaccination
lie enlisted in the Regulars recently
and they yaccinated him as they
always do the soldiers and it turned
TO blood poison as il often does and
he expected to lose his arm and
possibly his life, whereas he would
probably never have had the small
PoH and if he had it would hardly
have been half as bad or dangerous
as the vaccination.

Soon after New Years the House
will send to the Senate impeachment
articles against Judge Charles Swa-
ync of Delaware and Florida. This
will be the first impeachment case
tried by the Senate since that Of
General w. w. Belknap, Secretary
Of War, in 1867, and that was never
carried to a conclusion as Secretary
Belknap's resignation was accepted
by President Grant during the trial.
II is roughly estimated that the
impeachment case will reach the
Senate about January ~ and will
not be concluded for four weeks.
The present plans are to sit as
court Of impeachment from rta. m.
to ? p. m. each day and take ND
legislative business at p. m. The
case is likely to be attended with
intense interest not only because Of
its novelty but because one of the
counts in the indictment is certain
to be the Justification Of expense
accounts a practice which is freely
charged is not uncommon among
federal judges who are allowed
maximum Of $40 day for expenses
whenever they leave home to hold
courts, but who arc compelled to
swear that their expenses have been
incurred as itemized." II Judge
Swayne is found guilty on this

count there will doubtless be other

places.
An interesting specimen of ma
tional business methods was called
to the attention of your correspond
ent today. During the fiscal year
ending with last June the Govern
ment paid for rented buildings in
Washington S34r, $4,000. Itis es-
timated that this sum represents not
less than ten per cent of the value
OF the property rented while the
Government can barrow all the
money it need at per cent a year.
Therefore, If the Government were
wise enough to buy land and erect
Its own buildings, even If compelled
to borrow the money to do it, il
could procure the same or better
accommodations for s4,4I2,37o on
which the interest at per cent
would be sos, a47,4o, a saving of
1913, 900 a year, while the repairs
and wear and tear on the buildings
would probably be offset by the
steady increase in land values which
Washington is enjoying.
SIS
Instead, however, of erecting
the necessary buildings for the ac-
commodation of the various execut-
i've departments, Congress persists
in its renting policy and at the same
time has appropriated a total of
So, $50, 900 for the purchase OF
sites and the erection Of magnificent
Office buildings for Senators and
Representatives, buildings which
may be desirable but which are by
no means as necessary as prorer
accommodations for the executive
departments, Irrespective of the
Senate an House Office building,
however, it is doubtful if anyone
would criticIse the funding of a
sufficient sum to purchase land an
erect all the buildings necessary
properly to house the various Offices
of the Government, while such a
loan, even at two per cent would
prove popular with thousands OF
persons looking for an absolutely
safe investment for their savings.

From our regular correspondent


WAsHINcToN DC. Dec. &c 1904
Congress has adorned for the
Christmas recess having. apparent
ly. accomplished very little during
the two weeks ante holiday session;
but actually many preliminaries
have been disposed of and a pro-
gram for the rest of the session has
been mapped out and tentatively
agreed upon by the leaders of both
houses. Economy is to be the do
minant policy of the session and
private legislation will stand little
chance, while the omnibus appro-
priation bills popularity called "pork
bills, will have difficult course
to sail. These are the Public Build
ing and river bills, both of which
usually carry numerous appropr j.
atoms dear to the hearts Of the re-
spectiye members, and if the leaders
carry their plans to a successful
issue both will be left stranded on
the 4th. of March. Private claims
and pension bills will also suffer
from the narrow margin betwe en-
federla receipts and expenses, as the
administration leaders are determin-
ed neither to increase taxation nor
to issue bonds to meet an unneces.
sary treasury deficit.
The most important legislation
thus far accomplished is the Phil
ippine Public Improvement bill,
whereby the Philippine Commits
sion is authorized to guarantee A.
per cent interests for a term of
thirty years on bonds issued to
cover the actual cost of construct
ion of a railway system in the Phil
ippines This measure has passed
the Senate and will be approved
without change by the house after
the recess. Although the President
and Secretary Taft both regard the
bill as essenticl to the developement
of the Philippines, it came very
near failing in the Senate because
OF the loose manner in which the
railway clause was drafted and was
only saved from defeat at the
eleventh hour, by Senator Spooner
who is recognized as the best con.
stitutional lawyer in the upper
chamber and whose knowledge of
railway law enabled him to so re.
draft the railway clause as to elimi
nate the objections of those who
saw in the original measure numer-
GUS loopAoles whereby dishonest
railway officials might have seriously
defrauded the Philippine govern
ment.
