In the wise sayings in a paper l found this !:
"lf there is no bright side to your life, polish
the dark side" 1t gave me so many helpful
thoughts that pass 1t along to others, and, dear
sisters, don't ever let feel that our lives are
so dark they cannot be frightened by faith in
Christ and applied love to those who need our
love and help. We know 1t requires effort and
vigorous rubbing to polish even nickel plate as

discouraged. but keep on trusting and rubbing

FROM WASHINGTON.
Senate Adjouras-Great Work by the
Maine Delegation.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., March 20
Especially With the sunny days that come
in the latter part of March and precede
the gentle April showers, Washington is
shaking itself together. The rush and
hustle of closing Congress and of an in
auguration make period of greater quiet
welcome. The scores of laws enacted in
the very last days must be put into opera
ton Certified copies of every enactment
must be distributed. In these modern
days of expansion that means a distribu-
ton almost to the ends of the earth.
The treasury department, for instance,
is sending to Manila official copies of the
Philippine tariff act. 1t will be a month
before the Information is all in the posses
sion of the collector of customs there, al
though, of course, the cable made it
possible for him to know within few
minutes after it was passed that Congress
had acted favorably on the bill. The
department of the interior is sending
copies of law for a leper experiment
station to Honolulu. 1t requires two
weeks for that to reach its destination.
lhOAC aAS OAhNAAA NbHANS VI AtANs fHS1tlAE
these days also that are of great interest
to Maine, as they represent the conclusion
of efforts on the part OF the Maine delega
ton. The secretary of war has received
from the state department copies of the
law transferring the arsenal property at
Augusta to the State of Maine, for use in
connection with the insane asylum. The
department of justice will also have a copy
of the law, for it has hand in preparing
the legal papers by which the property is
decided. These papers will in turn be
transferred to federal officials in Maine.
This is the outcome of the splendid
work Gov. Burleigh did right at the end
of the session. When he introduced the
bill in February, and it was referred to the
committee ON military affairs, hardly any
one supposed that it had the ghost of
show. But Gov. Burleigh was keeping his
eye on that bin. Ordinarily, there would
have been hsir-splitters to oppose it and
prevent its passage, but the governor
awaited the psychological moment. He
managed to get favorable report from the
committee at the eleventh hour and then
when business in the House was jammed,
apparently to the utmost, he squeezed in
with his bill and it went through hum
ming.
They say the governor, fast traveller
that he is, never covered the quarter of a
mile in the long corridor between the
House and Senate quicker than he did
that night, when his Augusta bill had
passed. He put it into the hands of
rest.

Every year demonstrates anew the in
creased efficiency of Names delegation in
the House. When a session is all over,
and there is time to count up what its
members have done, one finds that the
Maine members have covered a little
more ground than they were able to
cover in the preceding year. 1t is true of
the third district congressman, and it is
true also of those of the first, second, and
fourth districts. There Is friendly rivalry
among every man of them to do the ut
most possible for the old Pine Tree State.
As dean Of the present delegation, Just as
the late Speaker Reed was dean of the old
delegation, Gov. Burleigh is always
setting lively pace.
They sometimes say around the capitol
that New England's influence is waning
in Legislative matters. The West has
learned the value Of keeping Legislators in
Congress and the eastern men nowadays
have more experienced and influential
competitors in the race for legislative IA
vors than they used to have. But ever and
anon little things are happening to show
that New England, and especially Maine,
is pretty well able to take care of herself
The West may be a sturdy young giant in
shaping legislation, but Maine is yielding
none of her laurels.
That statement, too, can be safely APP
piled to the House. Names representa-
tion in the Senate, of course, is the same
that it has been for the last twenty years
The two senators never did more effective
work for Maine than in the Congress Just
passed. For that it is sufficient to cite
only one or two instances, such as Senator
Hale's splendid coup in securing 500, 600
for the improvement of Portland harbor.
His achievements in general legislation
were brilliant, most prominent of which
was the establishment of what promises to
be permanent policy for the construction
OF a navy on a more conservative basis.
His leadership in the Senate was so gener-
ally approved and was so successful in
every particular as to elevate him almost
head and shoulders above others in that
body.
But gratifying as those things must be
in Maine and gratifying as Senator Frye's
career has been, the work of the delega-
ton in the House is of no secondary char
acter. The work of Gov. Burleigh and
Representative Littlefield in the fight over
securing granite for the Cleveland, Ohio,
postoffice was as cleverly planned and as
eleverly executed as anything during the
entire Congress. For them, of course, it
was something for Maine, because Maine
will furnish the granite, but the entire
House became involved in the fight. AT
the same time both these Maine men We're
recognized as the leaders in it on their
side, and they won against odds that had
been supposed to be overwhelming.
