The Boston Herald has the follow
ing interesting comment on congress
s-onal methods during the final DAYS of
the session: The way legislation is
being damned through in these closing
days of congress is We'll illustrated by
an incident in the senate where Sena-
tor Hepburn Of Idaho proposed an
amendment to the Indian appropria-
ton bill calling for $25, 200 for reserYa-
ton schools in his state. He was in
formed that his amendment would be
accepted provided he would agree not
to make a speech in it's favor. He
couldn't resist the temptation to make
some remarks on the subject, however,
after which his amendment was re-
jected. Then Senator Fulton of Oregon
offered an amendment calling for $780,
GOO for irrigation works in his state. u
understand said he. that if I make a
speech I don't get this, and if I keep
mum 1 do get it. and therefore I will
refrain from saying a word further

real parliamentary power behind the,
throne. he is Asher Kinds, clerkat the
speakers desk. He is walking ency-
sclopedia Of parliamentary lore. He halls
from Maine, and for. the better part of
his life has done nothing but study par
liamentary law and precedents. He is
prepared at an instants notice to lay
an array of decisions and precedents be-
fore the speaker and prompt the latter
as to the proper decision to make
MIR. Kinds was brought to Washing
ton from Maine by that great master of
parliamentary law. Speaker Reed, and
many of the latter's hair-trigger deci-
sions were snatched from Kinds mouth
as the latter whispered to him the prop
er way to get out of a tangle in the rules
OF the house. He has occupied that po-
sltlon for ten years almost, and no
new republican speaker would think of
attempting to manage the house without
having Kinds at his elbow. During the
SWayne impeachment trial in the senate
many complications arose, and a prom
inent senator paid a warm tribute to
Asher Kinds when he said: What a
pity the senate has no Asher Kinds,
When it gets off it's regular beaten path
it is very much at sea: Blythe way: what
would the house, do it, Asher Kinds

Very great Importance is attached
TO the recent discovery that an ordin-
airy healthy tree may be successfully
pressed into service, in place of a
tower with it's antennae of wires, for
the purpose of transmitting messages
by the wireless method which was
made by Maj. Squire, of the United
States signal service corps. This
comprises one of the most valuable of
the recent developments in this field.

available for use in warfare and

he will have added to his list the United

to criticism or commentator. Like the
Wisconsin statesman who "seen his
duty and done it, Mr.. Garfield has little
thought of anything but carrying out i'll
structions from the president and
filling the requirements of the law that
governs his bureau.
Mr. Garfield is the youngest son of the
late President Garfield. and was mere

few anecdotes and stories told about
him. He is serious minded. although
appreciative of good joke, but seldom
makes one himself. He was a close
friend of the late Senator Hanna. and
the latter was very anxious that young
Garfield should have placed him in NOM

When Mr.. Shaw became secretary of
the treasury, he made young Armstrong
his private secretary. and later, when a
vacancy occurred in the most important
assistant secretaryship of the depart

for appointment. Mr. Armstrong was

policy of publicity in the affairs of great
corporations. There is strong person.
al bond of sympathy between the presi-
dent and Mr.. Garfield. on account of SIM
ilarity of tastes in many directions.
They both served as United States civil
service commissioners. and are devoted
to the highest principles Of civil service.
They frequently discuss together the
welfare OF the civil service bureau and
the best methods of enforcing the law.
In another way there is a similarity
of taste, and that is fondness of out
door exercise and sports. During the
! slack season in Washington, when Thu,
president can devote a few hours each
day to outdoor exercise, Mr. Garfield
can be found two or three times week
pitted against the chief executive in a
game of tennis in the court in the rear
Of the white house Offices When these
games first began Mr.. Garfield was not
very expert and the president usually
had the best of it. One day, after having
numerically beaten him. the president
declared:
Garfield, if you make as poor COM
minssioner of corporations as you do a
tennis player, am going to put some
body else in your place."
Since that time Mr.. Garfield has i'm
proved, and the honors are now about
even when they contest with the
racquets. Mr. Garfield is very useful
also to the president on account of his
familiarity with literature The COM
missioner is an omniverous reader and
devours everything in the way of new
publications. He is able to advise the
president as to the quality of any new
work that may appear. and Mr.. Roose-
! welt finds it very convenient and ad-
| vantaSeous to follow his suggestions.
