cases, glove cases, opera bags, nail nip
pers, ETC., ETC., and the profound and
weighty laws and measures enacted by
that body.
The contingent fund Of the senate for
the last fiscal year ending June 80,
1903, covered expenses of $1,419, 883. 35,
and a glance through the pages of the
itemized report brings many singular
items to light, ranging in variety and
value from the good, old-fashioned
Quill toothpicks to the latest thing in
the fashionable world, the wrist bag,
one more choice and artistic than its
fellows costing $1,000. Just which one
of the senators Of aesthetic tastes is
wearing this gorgeous article we are
not able to say. but that he is the envy
Of all the other senators it is quite safe
to imagine. A majority Of the senators
must be addicted to the wrist bag hab-
1t, for 55 Of these handy adiuncts to
craftsmanship were purchased during
the year. They ranged in price from
80 cents to the $1,000 one aforemention-
Ensophisticated member was put of
WIN tn9 cheap SU-cent Dag.
With the demand for wrist bags
came the need Of pocketbooks, of which
121 were purchased, ranging In price
from nine cents to more expensive
article of S14.25. Now, inasmuch as
there are only 80 members of the SEN
ate, some of the more opulent of them
must require two pocketbooks to con-
kof~ 1ns, ~.
bags were purchased. ranging in price
from $S.25 to S12.20. 1t took ia card
cases to satisfy the demands, and some
OF them must have been magnificent,
far it took s16.75 right out of Uncle
Sans bank to pay for the most ex-
pensive one.
But If we let you into all the singu-
lar secrets of the contingent fund we
must hurry on. Here are a lot of
items taken at random. and they are
only few among the many: Pastur-
ing horses, $10S.26; gallons OF meats

greed Of the Russian Bear must stop be-
fore it has cast the shadow of it's hoary
paw over all that semiconscious nation,
a nation worse than helpless, on the
mainland that means to Japan life, fu-
ture. opportunity, prosperity.
AS matter of necessity, Japan has
set up a Monroe doctrine of her own in
Asia. The little empire is not large
enough for the awakened activities Of
its people, and there must be room for
commercial expansion. Long before
Japan was awakened by Commodore
Perry and his followers, Yernak had
crossed the Ural mountains and the
Russian Bear began his migration east
ward. Before Japan had awakened he
had reached the Pacific and found-a
sea of ice. He tarried there, and it was
not until Japan had awakened and
rubbed the sleep of centuries from her
eyes that he tired of his sea of ice and
began casting covetous glances south
ward to an open sea- Those glances in

dare not move hand. The peaceful
policy of the United States forbids more
than sympathy with the little combat
ant
And the menace that Is seen is closed
ports in developing market.
No, little Corea. with its 50, 900 square
miles OF territory, is not the only bone
of contention. If it were the question
SO far as Russia and Japan are con-
cerned, would be easily settled. Rus
STA is quite willing to concede the indie
pendence of Corea as demanded, upon
the condition that Japan acknowledge
Russian sovereignty in Manchuria.
What Japan demands is that Russia
concede Corean independence, and the
Bear agree to keep his paw of the her.
NIT nation without asking conditions,
for japan is too wise not to know that
the acknowledged control of Manchuria
is but another step in the scheme Of
Russian agrandizement, the full OBJ
ject of which is the control of all the
great northern provinces of China con-
tanning the very best markets now open
to japan, markets the gates of which
would be closed and locked with Russia
in control.
There is q peculiar political situa-
ton back of this lone fight of little Japan
to prevent the disruption of the Chinese
empire. Every commercial nation of
Europe and America has cast covetous
glances upon China, either uponi 3 ter
ritory or its markets. Had not the
Washington government stepped in at
an opportune time the great empire
would undoubtedly have fallen a prey
to the territorial greed of the nations of
Europe, but with American mills, Amer
! lean machinery and American genius
back of these the Washington govern
ment could see better opportunity for
this country in an undivided China with
open ports than in divided China with
closed ports. That this country could
share in the distribution and division
of the empire was not, or is not, to be
considered, and even if 1t could, it would
be valuable only from the commercial
standpoint, and undivided China offers
a better opportunity than any small
part of the empire this country might,
by any possibility, secure.
The wise heads of England look upon
the subject in much the same way as do
the officials at Washington. Though
England might share more largely in
the territorial spoil than could this
country, yet England cannot afford to

AMUSEMENT DURING A TIRESoME SPEECH.
ranging in price from cheap ones at
80 cents each to the best grades at $3.50
each, we might conclude that the laws
of the land were literally whitfield out
by the busy senators. But taking an
other item of expense from the contin-
gent fund report, that of 1868 feet of
white and Virginia pine and 5000 feet
of California red wood, 1t is easy to see
the connection between the two. Evil
IDENTIFY the brainy senators who have
learned to think great thoughts, have
not forgotten to white as in their boy
hood Gays. When time hangs heavy on
their hands, the inspiration to whittle
becomes uppermost, and jackknife and
pine boards soon are in juxtaposition,
and the senatorial shavings falling here
and there. And such of the $40 knives
which are not in use in the lands of
the senators are perhaps hept in re-
serve for the friends of the senators
who may drop in for quiet chat and
little whiting. But the knives are
the senators enjoy, for 800 scissors
were bought for their use, ranging in
price from 80 cents to 1921 per pair.
Dozens upon dozens of corkscrews
were purchased for the senator's last
year, and this expenditure may be ac-
counted for by the closing of the capt.
tol bar. No longer is it possible for
the thirsty senator's to have his liquid
wants supplied by the professional and
he has been forced to pull his own
corks and serve his own tonic. Every
senator carries his own corkscrew, or
at least he might do SO, for enough Of
the stopper-pullers were purchased to
more than go around, and judging from
the number of cases of mineral CD wa
tiers reported purchased for use in the
senate to float important measures
safely into port, 1t may be inferred that
the aforesaid corkscrews were kept
busy. And we cannot help noticing in
connection with the purchase of cork
screws, and mineral waters, that Of
glasses. Dozens and scores and hun
dreds of all shapes and sizes were pur-
chased, and it must be concluded that
