What Iowa Congressman Say.

Discussion is the only legitimate
mode of bringing the favorable or
unfavorable facts of any proposed
Legislation before the people. From
a source which is supposed to be I'M
seen and unknown vigorous eff
fort has been made through the last
two years to have our National Con-
gress pass what is known as Par
cells Post Law. The principal pro-
visions of this law are that packages
weighing as high as eleven pounds
may be carried by mail at ridi-
culously low postage rate. 1t has
been discovered that this measure is
leathered by the large catalogue
houses of the cities. They have
been spending thousands upon
thousands Of dollars for the purpose
of urging the passage of the law by
Congress. So vigorously have they
carried on this campaign that the
Iowa Congressman have seen fit to
express themselves quite forcibly.
Congressman Lacy, of the 9th
District, says, Il have always re-
garded this measure as a PROPOSE
ton for the Governmental aid to
the great department stores and
have therefore never favored it.
Congressman Hepburn, of the Sth
District, saws, 81 have always had
doubts as to whether the enterprise
could be made remuerative to the
Government, and l have further
doubts as to the expediency of the
Government taking this additional
step in this direction of paternalism. "
Congressman j. A. L. Hull, of
the 7th District, says, Il believe the
Government should not be burdened
with this additional load, and that
it is to great extent an interior
ence with private business"
Congressman Walter |. Smith. OF
the 9th District, in letter to
friends, says. 81 am unalterably OPP
posed to any such bill and do moi
favor Parcels Post Bill at any rate
of postage"
Congressman Haugen, of the 4tf
District, has SO often expressed him.
self that almost every one in the
state knows he is bitterly opposed
to any Parcels Post Law.

the Sd District, in reply to the ques
. ton as to what he thought of tn
Parcels Post Law, said, Il am op

PROCEEDINGS IN
NATIONS CONGRESS
Doings of,he Lawmakers in the Sen.
ate and the House of
Representatives.

Washington, Feb. 1T.-Aside from
two hours the senate gave Its entire
attention to the Swayne Impeachment
trial. The senate discussed the adj
instability of statement made by
Judge .Swayne before committee of
the house Of representatives, without
settling the matter. The District of
Colu nbia appropriation was debated,
and an executive session held.
The naval appropriation bill further
occupied the attention Of the house
for u major portion of the session, and
the bill was still pending at adjourn
ment. The agricultural bill was sent
back to the senate because that body
had amended it so us to infringe on
the house prerogative of originating
all revenue measures. The Mann bill,
abolishing the isthmian canal commits
sion, was passed. ''--,'
Washington, Feb. 1S.-The senate
passed the bill appropriating $9,94O, 600
for the District of Columbia, and the
diplomatic and consular appropriation
bill, carrying S2,1560O0. A special
feature of the day was the acceptance
of the statue of Frances e. Willxrd.
for Statuary Hall in the Capitol. The
daily court of impeachment was held
in the Swayne case.
The house passed resolution send,
ing the statehood bill us amended by
the senate directly into conference.
The naval appropriation bill was laid
aside and the house Joined in the exer-
cises appropriate to the Acceptance Of
the statue of Frances e. Willard.

posed to this bill and shall continue
my opposition"
Congressman Thos. Hedge, of
Burlington, who represents the LIST
District, says he has seen great
many Parcels Post Bills, but never
one which he thought it proper to
support.
Congressman Conner, who rep
resents the 10th District, says, 81
am now as | have been in the past
opposed to the measure.
Congressman Wade, of the End
District, is a known enemy of any
Parcels Post Bill"
What an array of talent against a
proposed law. Ii there was any
merit in such law it would not be
possible for every Iowa Congress-
man to be opposed to it, and, if the
law was in the interests of any one
but the catalogue houses, some one
of them would be in favor of it. In
fact catalogue houses, as whole,
are becoming one of the greatest
nuisances the people of the United
States have to contend with. The
tactics employed by them for get
ting business, has become SO disre-
putable as to call out the condemna-
ton of thinking people.
What DO they care, if by Parcels
Post Law the Government should
lose millions of dollars every year,
SO long as it was means Of putting
money into their pockets. The
Government has already all the
burden it can carry in the postoffice
department without dumping the
entire parcel business of the coun-
try onto it. The deficit last year
was larger than it has ever been be-
fore by many millions of dollars. A
parcel law, such as is proposed,
would swamp the postal department
and would increase the deficit so
greatly as to seriously threaten the
repeal of the rural mail delivery
law. No one wants this to be the
result of any law. j. p.

reached the honored age of "a. Al
though it was very cold and the
roads badly drifted, yet quite a
gathering of friends and neighbors
found their way to his beautiful
home in Prairie township to cele-
brate the occasion.
The affair was complete surprise
to Mr.. Snyder. The friends brought
we'll filled baskets and the table was
spread most beautifully with good
things to which all seemed to do
justice. After dinner Rev. Ensign,
in behalf Of the company made a
most beautiful and impressive
speech, presenting Mr.. Snyder with
a fine rocking chair. Mr.. Snyder
replied thanking his friends in a
few very appropriate words for their
thoughtfulness and friendship
After spending a few pleasant, social
hours together the friends departed
wishing their host very pleasant
journey through the remainder o.
life and that he might live to see the
18th Of February return again man,
times in the future. How beautiful
and profitable it is for friends t.
step aside from the hurry and care
of everyday life and spend few
hours with one another in social in
tercourse. Such hours are indeed
golden for they turn the thought
from selfish care outward and up
ward into the making of purer AM
nobler lives. May these happy &C
casions multiply. XXX
