No Flowers For congressman.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2S.-There will
be no flowers in either house on the
opening day OF congress-. A resolu-
ton of the senate was adopted during
the last session OF congress barring
flowers from the senate chamber. Mr..
Cannon has already given notice that
he will not allow the flowers to be
brought in as heretofore. Rivalry of
admirers of different members of both
houses reached q stage where half the
desks were buried in flowers and the
person they were meant to compliment
was completely behind hidden the pro.
auctions of the florists.
The officers Of both houses have
been informed that there will be no
flora! display and flowers intended for
members will probably be stopped at
the door OF the capitol on the opening
day.

GOVERNM ENT SEED GRAFT.

The government charity seed bu.
reau, otherwise known as the depart.
ment of agriculture, recently bought
from one farm nea Spokane 2OO, 900
pounds OF beet seed, 2OO,O 600 pounds OF
turnip seed and loo, 900 pounds OF rad.
ish seed, to be distributed free to con.
stituents of ambitious congressman.
This is only a sample of this disagree.
able petty graft known as the free dis
tribution of ''rare and useful Seeds"
says the Northwest Agriculturist.
When this practice was established
the idea was q ~commendable and sci
entific one; it vas intended to encour-
age the Introduction into America of
seed brought from foreign lands or
from one section of our land to an.
other, for the express purpose of i'm.
proving and expanding OF diversity
ing our crops.
But for many years all the scientific
usefulness.of the plan has been subor-
dinated to the graft of congressman,
who think that by sending a dimes
worth of radish seed to each OF their
former constituents they will buy their
votes for reelection. It IL q most
shameless, petty, contemplate graft,

Federal Official Removed.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2S.-President
Roosevelt has removed from Office
William Lieb, assistant United States
treasurer at Philadelphia, for persist
ent violation of the civil service law
while in Office. In q formal statement
issued at the White house by Presi.
dent Roosevelt Mr.. Leib's removal is
announced, the presidents letter to
that official being in part as follows:
sin your case 1t seems to me clearly
established that you have sought con-
t~inuouly to take advantage of every
kind of technicality in order to avoid
carrying out the law in good faith. BY

ties, you have kept on the roll in al.
most continuous positions certain of
your own relatives, and at least one
person whose appointment was evil
IDENTIFY pressed for political purposes,
instead of making all proper efforts
to carry out the law as it applies to
appointments within the classified
service. 1t clearly appears to me that
in one examin alton held upon infor-
nation furnished by your Office, there
was such clear evidence of fraud that
it had to be Cancelled. The evidence
as to the fraudulent character of the
examination implicated your sister,
two persons from your own town, and
one person who was al that time serv.

pointment and who was SUBSEQUENTLY

The Famous Pony Express.

The worlds record for organized
and "~schedule" riding was made by
the pony express. Never before nor
since has mail been carried 80 fast, so
far and so long, merely by horse
power; where horses have been so
steadfastly spurred in any regular
service, says q writer in McClure's.
The pony express carried mail be.
tween the east and California At Is

1t ran from Independence to San
Francisco, 1850 miles. Its time was
10 days and it never needed II. It
employed 500 of the fastest horses that
could be found, of course all western
horses, 200 station keepers and so
riders. 1t had 100 stations-crowded
down the throat of the wilderness, IS
to 100 miles or ven more apart, &C.
cording as water CHANGED. The rider
was allowed two minutes to change
horses and mails at q station.
William F. Cody ("Buffalo Bill")
was the most famous of the pony ex-
press riders-and as q IA year old
''kid" got his first ''job" from the
man that invented the pony express.
Cody made the record here-a round
trip ride necessitated by the killing
of his relief) of 1874 miles without
stops, except to change horses and to
swallow one hasty meal.

CIVIL SERVICE IN CANAL ZONE.
Commissioner Cooley to Discuss the Sub.
Ject with the President To-day.

WASHINGTON Sept. 3.-One Of the mat
ters Civil Service Commissioner Cooley
will take up with President Roosevelt at
Oyster Bay tomorrow relates to employees
on the Isthmus of Panama. The civil SER
vice rules in certain respects have not
worked satisfactorily in the Canal Zone
especially in the employment Of road
masters. rodmen, foremen and other mis-
cellaneous helpers between the grades Of
ordinary labor and the clerical force.
The merit system works we'll with the
executive force. and no attempt Is made
TO apply it to the great army Of laborcrs,
but for the intermediate group the quail
fications are peculiar, personal courage
and practical experience being the most
essential.
Chief Engineer Stevens wanted this
class OF employees excepted from the rules
and so wrote the President. Commits
sioner Cooley was inclined to assent TO the
declaring that the classified service was a
great protection against the opportunities
Of persons seeking places through political
influence.
He suggested the establishment of half
a dozen employment agencies at labor
centers in the United s. ates, to be in charge
of men capable OF picking out the. right
kind of workmen required on the lsthmus

Police Force Meeting Of Reformers There

Special Cabie Despdfeh 10 TIRE sun.
LONDON, Sept. A despatch to the
STANDARD from Moscow says that tho police
on Saturday entered the house OF NJ. no
voslbeff, where thirteen prominent men
were assembled to discuss the line Of action
to take in the future In regard to the Ma
tional Duma.
Those present included Princes Paul and
Peter Dolgorukofr, Prince Eugene Troubet.
skoy Prince Shakhovsky, M. Shepkin, who
was largely responsible for the text OF the
socaled Moscow constitution. M. Jakush-
kin, who drew up the grand remonstrance
adopted by the recent congress OF zemst-
voists and several other distinguished men,
bers Of the reform party.
The meeting was ordered, in the name
Of the Governor General, to disperse.
Those present asserted that 1t was perfectly
legal for them to assemble In q private
house, and they declined to obey the order
to disperse. The police declared that
they must use force, for which they we're
prepared. The meeting thereupon dis
persed.
Governor General Durnovo, acting under

fense of Moscow. The state Of the city
therefore can hardly be distinguished from

UNIONS COMPLAIN TO PALLAs
Because Non.UniOn Men Are Doing Park
Asphalting at Non. niOn Rates.

Park Commissioner Palas. who is still
looked upon as identified with the labor
movement because he Is member Of the
Actors Protective Union and the Pattern
makers Union, as well as president Of the
workngmen's State Federation, is again
to be called upon by the Central Federated
Union to see that union wages are paid
for municipal work.
This decision was the result Of a complaint
made by the delegate Of the Cement and
Asphalt Wo rkers' Union at yesterdays
meeting of the C. F. L. that the Sioian
Asphalt Company is employing on-unIon
men at st. Gabrie!'s Park, Thirty-ffth
and Thirty-sixt tn streets and Second avenue,
where the company has contract for the
asphalting.
The delegate said that he first reported
the matter to the manager Of the company
and asked for the employment Of union men.
The manager was perfectly willing to en-
ploy union men il they worked for the same
rates as the men now on the job, but the
delegate would not agree to this It was
then decided to write to Park Commissioner
Pallas, asking him to use his good offices
to induce the company to employ union men
at union wages on this contract.
