THE FIFTY-NiNTH CONGRESS

HE TIT slNil<AfA SOiNONLOO
 The 59th congress began it's session at twelve o'clock Mon- day. the 5th of December. The scenes of the opening session were those with which the coqn try has been made familiar through the press. There were nearly four hundred members on the floor of the house and seven ty-fve senators in the chamber at the other end of the capitol. There were no flowers, and the spectacle of certain members sitting behind magnificent floral arrangements was lacking. This is a custom which, in the future, will be honored by the breach than the observance. No one except, perhaps, the florists, will regret it's diScontlnuance
 The galleries were crowded with ladies, many of them visit ors to Washington, and others the wives, daughters or friends of members and senators on the floor. Miss Alice Roosevelt with party of friends was in the ex- ecutive. gallery, as was also Mrs. Fairbanks wife of the vice presi- dent, and her daughter.
 Among those conspicuous by their absence were Senators Mitchell of Oregon (who has since died), and Burton of Kan sas; and in the house MT. Her man and Mr. Williamson of Or egon.
 Distinguished and long famil- far faces were missing on the senate foor-George Frisbee Hoar, sc long a senator from Massachusetts; Orville Platt of Connecticut and his colleague, John R. Hawley; Matthew Stan ley Quay, of Pennsylvania; and Vest and Cockrell of Missouri. Of these distinguished men, who may almost be said to belong to another political era, Senator Cockrell is the only one living, and he is now a member of the interstate commerce commits sion.
 It is almost incredible. but over four thousand bills and res olutions were introduced in the house on the first day of the ses- sion. Of this number there were 531 measures of public charac- ter. The remainder of them were private bills, the vast ma jority of them being for pen sionS.
 Mr. Brownlow of Tennessee presented the largest number, nearly four hundred in all, but Mir. Smith of Michigan was a close second, with more than $50 bills. Mr.>McGuire of Oklaho- ma presented the first bill, which was for the admission of Okla homa and Indian Territory as a joint state with seven represent atives in congress. A number of insurance bills were intro duced, melted by the widely published insurance scandals and investigations. One, by MT. Morrell of Pennsylvania, has for it's object the inspection of insur- ance companies by United States authorities with inquisitorial powers, and another bill upon the same subject by the same author is for the purpose ot placing insurance companies un' der the supervision and control of the department of commerce

StructiOn of great irrigation works has been proceeding rap idly and successfully; the lands are eagerly taken up, and the prospect that the policy of na- tional irrigation will accomplish all that was expected of it is bright. The act should be ex- tended to include the state of Texas.
 THE NATIONAL IRRIGATION
 ACT.
 The reclamation act derives much of it's value from the fact that it tends to secure the great est possible number of homes on the land and to create cOmmuni- ties of freeholders, in part by settlement on public land, m part Ey forcing subdivisions of large private holdings before they can get water from the government irrigation works. The law re- quires that no right to the use of water for land in private own ership shall be sold for tract exceeding I60 acres to any one land owner. This provision has excited active and powerful hos tility, but the success of the law itself depends on the wise and firm enforcement of it. We can not afford to substitute tenants for freeholders on the public do- main.
 The greater part of the re maining public lands, cannot be irrigated. They are at present, and will probably always be, ol greater value for grazing than for any other purpose. This fact has lead to the grazing homesteads of GAO acres in Ne braska and the proposed exten sion of it to other states. 1t Is argued that a family cannot bt supported on 160 acres of ario grazing land. This is obviously true. But neither can a family be supported on GAO acres ot much of the land to which 1t is proposed to apply the grazing homestead. To establish uni versally any such arbitrary limi would be unwise at the presen time. It would probably resul on the one hand in enlarging th' holdings. of some of the grea land owners, and on the other il needless suffering and failure ol the part of a very considerabl' proportion of the bona fde set tiers who give faith to the i'm piled assurance of the govern ment that such an area is suf1 cient. The best use of publi grazing lands requires the care ful examination and classified ton of these lands in order t give each settler land enough t support his family and no more Whie this work is being done and until the lands are settled the government should take cor trOl of the open range, unde reasonable regulations suited t local needs, following the ger eral policy already in operatio on the forest reserves. It probable that the present gra, ing value of the open publi range is scarcely more than ha what it once was or what
 might easily be again unde careful regulation.

THE LAND LAWS NEED
 REVISION.

Once again 1 call your atten- ton to the condition of the pub lie land laws. Recent develop ments have given new urgency to the need for such changes as will fit these laws to actual pres ent conditions. The honest dis posal and right use of the re- maining public lands is of funda- mental importance. The iniqui- tous methods by which the mo- nopolizing of the public lands is being brought about under the present laws are becoming gen orally known, but the existing laws do not furnish effective remedies. The recommendations of the public lands commission upon this subject are wise and should be given effect

| THEY WILL WIN THE PENNANT. While the writer is nothing if not a baseball enthusiast, to mention each week the games of the local nine, seems to get as mOnOtOnouS as to chronicle each week the latest candi. date for the vacant pulpit. But it seems this an error, and that the boys of the local nine have watched THE BEE after each game for record of their prowess, only to be disappointed. Perhaps this would not have been the case, had they not been doing such ex. tremely good work, and because of this and to satisfy their thirst for fame, it is we'll to mention that out of the eight games played so far this sea- son, seven have been decided in favor of the local nine. Saturday, May 27, in a game played at Lakeville, the score stood to 5. On Memorial day, they played at Falls Village, bringing home score of to ', and the same after. noon they played the Foster school team on the local diamond, resulting in a score of 13 to 8 and last Saturday the Bantam team went home defeat ed by score of to- 5. The only game lost was to a picked nine from Torring- ton.

 Give ear to no alarms. But what of them who. in the strife,
 Meet red death with a smile Who for the cause yield up their life.
 What of the rank and file? Through torrid sun, through chilly dews,
 The rain-scaked swamp their bed A foeman's ball the only muse To sing above the dead. Through ambushed gorge or forest dense They force their way. the while No eye looks back. no soul repentS
 He joined the rank and file. Those graves have grown pilgrims shrine Wherein they re lying now. 1mmortelles and the laurel twine
 Above each sacred brow, That, cold in death, lies heath the sod
 Of vale or forest aisle. They bought our freedom with their blood. The gallant rank and file. No hand shall pen their epitapf.
 No lips their dirge shall sing. Save those who weep when others laugh To see ouff banners swing. Through the triumphal throngs that greet The victOrS with 8 smile Save those who ne'er their dead may meet Who formed the rank and file! NewtOwn, June 1, 1905.
