ASHAMED OF THE
MILEAGE GRAB.
House Members Strive to Cor
rect" Record-Inconsistent
with Swayne Case.
Rx w. w. Jermane.

Washington, March 4.-Members Of
the house of representatives who voted
for the extra mileage, or the grab
as it is Familiarity known, Justify their
action by the interpretation they place
upon the general statute, which pro-
vides that members of both houses shall
have twenty cents a mile each way, be-
tween their homes and the capital, for
every session of congress.
Of course, the statute was never in
tended to cover cases such as that tor
which the recent grab was engineered,
where there was no interval Of time be-
tween sessions, and for that reason no
The ''grab'' did not depart radically
from the strict letter of the law, but it
violated the spirit, and moreover was
not justified from any point of view. !.
1t is noteworthy that a number of
members after they saw the criticisms
of their votes in the press, got up II the
house and claimed to have been wrong
ly recorded in the roll call. The Min
nesota and Dakota members, however,
were not of this number. f.. ?.
The attempted "grab" was especial
lv inopportune in view Of the recent
impeachment by the house of Judge
Swayne of Florida. One Of the strong
est counts in the impeachment papers
had to do with his having collected the
full $40 per day allowed by law for
expenses, when he expended only from
one quarter to one-third Of that sum.
The "grab'' proposed that the house
should do something even worse than 1t
had charged Judge Swayne with doing,
for there is no claim that there was any
travel expense whatever in connection
with the second session Of the fifty
eighth congress, and in the light of the
attempted " grab,' the impeachment
of Swayne becomes even more OF
farce than it already was.

Atrocities by Tomsk Police in Recent
Riot Almost Unnameable.

st. Petersburg, March Mail ad-
vices give details of the student riots
at ,Tomsk, western Siberia, Feb. &c, pre-
ceding the closing Of the university and
chronological institute. They repre-
sent it as a horrible affair, in which
students were herded, shot and slashed
by the infantry, Cossacks and police.
Nine students were killed and twenty
eight We're seriously wounded. Over
a hundred young men and women were
taken to the police station, where thew
were stripped of their clothes and some
OF them We're beaten into insensibility
with sticks of wood. The women were
dragged about by the hair amid cries
from the police, "There is the wretched
liberty hound!'' So shameful was the
action of the police that the whole
fifth division of police was bound over
by the court on the charge of brutal
lty. The indignation at Tomsk was so
intense that the professors of the tech
biological institute joined the students
in deciding to strike until the form of
government is changed. The university
students. at a final meeting, tore up
the emperor's picture.

KANSAS GOVERNOR

Topeka, Kan, March 4.--Some days
ago Governor Hoch sent message to
ss1tatSs Tss Andsrs soa' shoS"d
same bill passed twice. Senator Wag-
gener thought that "set 'em up, was
a queer expression for the governor Of
prohibition state to use, so he had a
resolution adopted asking the governor
to explain. Last night Governor Hoch
sent the following message explaining:
TO the Senate am in receipt Of SEN
ate resolution No. 40, introduced by the
senator from Atchson county, requesting
me to explain what was meant by the
term, set 'em up as used in my veto
message of senate bill No. BAL. This ex-
preston, used playfuly, and without hav-
ing any particular meaning and possibly
hardly COMFORTING with the dignity of
your body, seems to have had, If not q
good. at least an unexpected effect in
that it has caused the emaciated corpse
of the Kansas democracy to take on the
semblance Of life and sit up and take
notice. - -. E
The belief in miracles is here
strengthened by absolute proof, show
ing that the proper call will restore an
imitation Of life in the dead.
If the angel Gabriel were to blow such
blast from his trumpet that the noun
tains should rock to their bases, the
democratic party would probably sleep on
undisturbed, but if he were even to whis-
per the magic words, "Set 'em up" the
grave Of this moribund organization
would give up its dead and from the en-
tire aggregation, headed by the talented
and handsome senator from ktchison
would come the answer in swelling
chorus, eve will take the same" j..
