DSrS OF congress.
The excitement is an indication of the
sensitiveness of statesmen at the capitol
just now to any development which
might seem to connect them, even re-
motely, with the irregularities in the
post Office department. 1t is due largely
to the oficiousness of somebody in the
government printing office who for the
lack of any other headline manufac-
tured for the document the title
Charges Concerning Members of Con-
gress,' when, in fact, there were no
charges whatever and the document con-
sisted simply of compilation of routine
letters, such as any congressman is
writing daily to department officials, on
all sorts of matters affecting his dis
trict.
In the entire list of congressman
whose names were published there is
not one who is properly open to criti-
cism for anything that he did, for there
is no intimation that any one of them
profited directly or indirectly through
the advances they secured in the allow
ances for post offices in their districts.
In almost all the cases the sums in
vOlved were small, amounting in only
two or three instances to more than
500 a year, and in almost every in

local postmaster'S request for an adj
vance.

was once occupied by Dawes and
Conkling and Sumner. 1t is the
most desirable seat in the senate.
Next in order are Allison. of Iowa;
Proctor, of Vermont: Hale. of Maine;
HOar and Lodge. of Massachusetts,,
and Burrows, of Michigan. German,
of Maryland, occupies the conspicuous
seat in the king row on the demo-
cratic side. Aldrich, who is usually
regarded as the floor manager for the
republicans, has never chosen a seat
in the king row, but has place just
behind, and Hanna's place adjoined
that of Aldrich. Frye, of Maine, and
Plat, of Connecticut, are in the very
front row, although Frye's place is
usually occupied now by John Kean,
of New Jersey, while the Maine sem
ator presides over the senate.
So long as the republicans have so
pronounced a majority in the senate
it will be the fortune of some Of them
to be isolated in the corner Of the
democratic section of the chamber.
Just now there are enough republicans
over there to form quite respectable
group-Dryden and Kean. Of New Jer-
sey; Long, of Kansas; Ball and Allen,
of Delaware, and Dick, of Ohio.
The section corresponds to what is
known in the house as the Cherokee
strip" where in past congresses some
of the leading republicans have been
forced to choose seats-Hitt, of Illi-
nois, and Hepburn among the others.
The Cherokee strip received its name
away back in the Fifty-second con-
gress, when the democrats had so big
majority that many Of them had to
go over on the republican side. That
was when the Cherokee strip in Okla
homa was being opened to settlement

Smith docs not look like either

Smith docs not look like either
prophet or preacher; he does not even
have the appearance of hard-headed
business man which Mormon leader is
very apt to be; in his face and bearing
he is more on the order of pedagogue
who has been accustomed to give in
struction on elementary subjects with
out having his statements called in ques-
ton by anybody. While he was seated
plying to the questions showered on
him by the investigating senators, one
might have imagined that he was an
old-fashioned college professor deliv-
ering lecture on the rudiments of the
Mormon religion and looking down from
superior height upon the ignorance of
the pupils who were unfortunate enough
not to understand clearly all the in
tricacies of the subject of which he was
an easy master.
The question of the eligibility of Reed
Smoot to seat in the senate has be-
come so complicated with religion, poll
tics and morals that the committee on
PiiFheSes anu elections are gong to
have hard time in coming to a con-
clusion and the senate may have an
equally hard time in acting upon the
committees report The far western
senators, both republican and democrat,
are very much stirred up about the bust
ness. They say that if Smoot is permit
ted to retain his seat it will not be many
years before every one of the Rocky
mountain states will be represented
there by Mormon, so great is the spread
OF Mormonism through all that part Of
the country.

.ocratic side. For a o'a'o' De'
time he had as his companions there,
Foraker and Depew, and he leaves
among the democrats a number of re-
publican unfortunates.
The bowling for desirable seats in
the senate is about as lively as any
thing that happens in that staid and
dignified body. 1t is always a case
of first come first served. Favoritism
or influence count for nothing. When
ever senator is approaching the end
of his term and there is any question
whatever about his reelection some
one of his associates who happens to
be less fortunately placed in the
chamber is sure to file an application
with the sergeant at arms for the seat
which may be left vacant. The first
man who gets his application in gets
the seat. There is never any other
outcome.
Instances have been known where
senators have filed applications on the
seats of venerable or invalid associates
whose days on earth were supposed to
be numbered. That sort Of thing Is
not apt to make a man popular at the
time but nothing succeeds like sue
cess and after a little while break
of this kind is pretty sure to be forgot
