TO LACK TOWELS.
Quip Of Congress in Appropria-

New York Sun Special Service.

New York Sun Special Service.
Washington, July 21.-Members of
the hfty-ninth congress have just dis
covered that congress in fit of alb
sentmindSdness during the last session
struck out the appropriation that pro-
in the performance Of their daily ablu-
tions. This is no insignificant item,
and it was once inveighed against by
!" Sockless' jerry Simpson Of Kansas,
who in a speech on the floor of the
house excoriated congress in general for
its extravaganza in this particular.
That, meteoric statesman, condemning
towe! and bathroom extravaganza, drew
the illuminating comparison between
public and private expenditures by as
serting that in his own case he was ac-
customed to use one towel a week and
for that reason he could not counten-
ance an appropriation that gave every
member four to six day.
In the last appropriation bill there
was an item of $4,000 for "miscel-
laneoqs Items, Certain persons en-
obnoxious and they were legislated out
of office by the insertion Of proviso
reading Sexclusive of salaries and la
bor.'' -. d. ,.-
Washing of Towels.
The washing of the enormous number
Of towels used on the house side is paid
for out of this appropriations. Dozens
and dozens are issued daily to commit
tee rooms, lavatories, private rooms,
bathrooms, etc. One member last sum-
mer reached the limit in the bathroom
by demanding half dozen towels. Tie
price paid for laundering these articles
is rs cents dozen, and during the
recess OF congress twenty women have
been SO employed, the number being
increased to thirty when congress is in
session. Some of these washw omen
earn as much as $40 month.
On the morning Of July I the new
legislative act went into effect and
the clerk of the committee on accounts
bumped at once into a condition that
conf onted him. He decided that wash
fore, could not be paid for out of an
appropriation that expressly prohibited
any payment for labor. The matter
was referred to the controller of the
treasury, from whose decision there is
no appeal, and he took the same view.
The question now is, how is the fifty
ninth congress to wash itselfs
Demand but No Supply.
It is a long time before congress
meets, and meanwhile work will be go
ing on in committee rooms. Towels
will undoubtedly be sorely needed by
some soiled statesmen, but if they are
provided it will be thru subterfuge by
which the law is violated
The towels used by the house and
senate are not home production. They
are made in Ireland from a particular
variety Of linen and from special de.
signs. It takes a long time to secure
a new supply, and if that expedient is
utilized to meet the exigency there will
be a great number Of soiled lawmakers
