TROUBLES OF coNoRgssMeN

Now that the president is gone, an
exodus OF members of congress from
Washington will follow. They must
so home and face the wrath of their
disappointed constituents says the
Washington Post. While the presi-
dent "a here, the faint hope We
manned that there might be ''some-
thing doing" in the way OF appoint
ments, but that hope is gone. Presl-
dent Roosevelt has taken to the
woods to escape the clamor.
Great hopes were uilt Oh the the
DRY that the new Administrations
would have gifts to distribute. Many
a congressman assured his hungry
aud faithful henchmen that, with
the passing of obligations imposed by
the Mckinley administration, the
president would be free to hand out
fat positions. Soon after March 4.
however, it was announced that prac-
tically no changes would be made.
Over 100 members of congress have
remained in Washington, looking for
positions for their constituents.
Anything Was acceptable, from an
ambassadorship to messengership.
Most Of them were disappointed, and
some of them have been afraid to re-
turn home.
An Indiana congressman heard the
other day that there was a chance OF
getting q place as forest ranger for a
constituent. This constituent had
done yeoman service for his congress
sman, and no doubt deserved some
thing good. He had been disappoint-
ed in his hope OF getting a foreign
post, and advised his congressman
that anything would be acceptable.
The congressman jumped on the car
and hurried down to the Interior de.
partment, only to be informed that
the president had covered the forest
rangers into the civil service some
days before.
81 shudder to think what the
effect on the party will be in my
state said this frank indiana con
gresham. "Possibly the boys will
come around all right by election
time, but they are sore. It's getting
to be pretty hard shedding for an Or
dinary congressman when he can't
get jobs for the men who have elect
ed him. ] don't know what is to
become of us if the thing keeps
lightning"
Between lodging the charge OF vot-
ing for the mileage grab and explain
ing why he cannot procure jobs from
the United States with which to a
his political debts, the congressman's
lot is not a happy one. And next
winter it is proposed by certain SEN
ators to make a fresh onslaught, also,
on the garden seed appropriation. II
this succeeds the ordinary congress-
man NAV be reduced to the extrem-
lty Of securing his election on his
merits.

Huronite: Harry Hunter. the
South Dakota representative OF the
Chicago, Milwaukee * st, Paul Rail
way Company, in an interview With
the Aberdeen News, states positively
that the coast extension of the Mil
waukee, when made will be made
from Eva1ts, not from Chamberlain.
Harry Hunter never made any such
statement in the berdeen News moi
anywhere else. In his interview in
the News MIR. Hunter was very mod
crate in his Language and did not get
down to any positive statements.
His interview might be taken in Abb
erdeen to mean a great deal for that
city, but down here where they are
already building railrad extensions
we can give them a few pointers on
the situation, and the,principal point
er is that Aberdeen and Evarts will
never live long enough to see the coast
line run across that country. The
Huronite is plugging pretty hard to
get the people to believe that Mitch
ell is not to be benefited very much
by the Milwaukee extension. The
Huronite will know more in a yeal
or eighteen months than it assumes
to know at the present time.

erly, he should be in close touch with

IN DAVID GARaIcK
Leland Powers Gave a Eich Pres en-
tation OF the Characters in
the Famous Play.

Ut was a magnificent audience OF
nearly 500 people that gathered at
the city ball Monday evening TO hear
Leland Powers present the leading
characters in that beautiful drama
of David GarIick. 1t was given UNI
der the auspices of the Woman's
Professorshlp Association. and the
large number present was not only a
o mpliment to Mr.. Powers but to the
association as we'll. as e%videncing a
desire to help it i'm its ambition.
The play of David Garrick is one
of the most fascinating of the older
dramas. and is the presentation of a
fine character of the stage. Mr.
Powers presented nine characters of
the drama and after each had re-
ceived his or her Introduction into
the play they were instantly recog-
nized as they appeared during the
play. MIR. Powers has a wonderful
facial expression aud a voice that is
capable of great changes to fit the
characters represented. So vividly
were his portrayals that n could
readily imagine the actors or actress
es standing before the audience in
the real characters.
-Ir. Powers was originally booked
as an attraction of the lecture and
concert course, but the Woman's
P~rofessorship Association desiring
something excellent to present to the
people Tor a benefit entertainment he
was turnei owe to the association

WASHINGTON WORkMEN PASSED
RESOLUTIONS AGAINST GUAR.
ANTY FUND SYSTEM.
Grand Lodge Suggests Compromis'
and Proposes Special Session to
Consider the Matter.

Following a spirited discussion last
ing several hours, and which at times
became quite heated, the state grand
lodge of the A. o. u. W., in session at
Tacoma at Masonic temple, adopted
resolutions condemning the supreme
lodge guaranty fund system and call
ing upon the supreme jurisdiction to
call a special session and repeal the
obnoxious laws.
The question is one that has been
fought out between the supreme lodge
and many of the grand lodge jurisdic-
lions during the past year or more and
has resulted in more feeling than any,
thing else that has been brought to the
attention of the grand lodge jurisdic-
lions.
So strong was the objection to the
plan that three jurisdictions seeded
from the supreme lodge, Missouri, Mas
sachusetts and Manitoba drawing out,
and many more threatened to do so, on
the ground that the system was unjust
to the various low-rate jurisdictions.

REBATES PAID GOVERNMENT
Despite Controllers Opinion Rate Con.
cessions WiIl Be Made

WASHINGTON, April 15-The opin-
ion of the controller of the currency,
holding that the interior department
violated the law when it took rebates
from railroads on transportation sup
plies for irrigation purposes, does not
disturb the officials of that department.
They believe the government will
doubtless continue to get the benefit of
the good intentions of western rail-
roads regarding freight rates on mate
rails carried for irrigation service.
The dams and regulation works
come in most remote places, at non
competitive points, and are almost
without exception, where rates have
been adjusted to small business of a
kind that should make up for more
moderate charges where water and

other competition intervene. The sud-
den increase in the volume of business
at these high rate points makes it
only far that charges should be much
less than those applicable to ordinary
trffic, and especially So whe nthe rail-
roads have an interest in promoting
the reclamation service, because Of the
return business that will come from
settlement. Accordingly, they offered
half rates as the interstate law per-
mits reductions to the government.
The only question involved, the I'm
terror department felt, was how to
make this concession directly avail
able.
Formerly, contractors, knowing they
could have this concession, made their
bids accordingly, but last March re-
fund act was passed, by which any
moneys received on payments out of
irrigation funds were returned to it,
instead of going into the treasury's
general Golfers. Since then it mas
been intended to have railroads return
directly to the government the amount
of this concession, and all the depart
ment wanted of the controller was mis-
opinion as to how the benefits of the
alw could be best utilized.
