THE INSPECTION BILL VIRTUALLY
COMPLETED.

The House Committee on Agriculture
held an important meeting on Monday
at which Chairman Wadsworth was
present. Speaker Cannon was consult
ed, and other leading members, and the
Meat Inspection bill was virtually COM.
pleted 1t was agreed that the courr
review clause should be eliminated OF,
condition that the President was willing
to accept as satisfactory measure
which did not contain the language Gin
the judgment of the Secretary of Agri-
culture" There was grave objection to
this language, on the ground that it
would give the Secretary absolutely final
Jurisdiction the court having already
held that where such language is used
there is no ground for judicial review.
save on the basis of alleged confiscation
There was little discussion of the civil
service paragraph for this was origin
ally inserted for the benefit of, if not
tural Department. The committee de-
cidcd to stand out in its objections To
the dating of the cans containing meat
products, ana it is understood at the
Capitol that the President has given
away on this .poiat-as we'll. This is gea-
era.iy accepted as ending all contro-
versy.

THE PRESIDENTS EXPENSES.

Minority Leader John S. Williams did
not enhance his reputation by the point
of order which cut off the Presidents
travelling expenses. Nor did the reason
ing by which he supported his motion
commend itself as pertinent or logical.
He said it was an attempt to increase
the Presidents salary during his term.
If this were true, then every allowance
for White House expenses falls by the
same rule. If the President could travel
like an orjiDary citizen, or any other
official eyen. there might be no reason
for allowing him travelling expen5 IS. It
is all right for the heads of the othe CO.
ordinate branches of the Government
the Chief Justice and the Speaker and
the Vice President-to pay their own
way. But the President cannot travel
as they do. He must have a special
sarily accompany him. and this train
must stop frequently to crafty the nat
ural and proper desire of the people
along the route to see and hear their
Chief Magistrate This is strictly demo-
cratic. Any ordinary train cannot make
these stops and waits without wrecking
its schedule and throwing the whole
business of the road into disorder.
Again, we are now putting the screws
or 20 the railroads somewhat stringent
ly. and therefore should ask no favors
from them. We should stand ready TO
pay full price for all that our Chief
Servant gets from them -

PROSPECTS OF PENSION LEGISLA
TION.

We have reluctantly given up hope
of seeing any of the many excellent bills
which have been before Congress for
the benefit of the veterans passed at this
session. The Prisoners of War bill, the
McCumber bill, the Manned Soldiers
bill, the Service Pension bill and others
of equal merit are all on the Speakers
table, but above them are the Rate bill,
the Meat Inspection bill and many others
which are pressing irresistibly for cor
sideration and which will occupy the
few remaining days left to Congress.
The rights of the veterans and the Ma
tons justice to them have been lost in
ruck of pressing selfish interests and
of important public measures which
have crowded to the front in the last
days. This should not discourage us in
the least. We have had to wait before
and we will take up the fight anew with
hopes of better luck in the next session
of Congress. Then we can expect that
many things which are engrossing the
attention of Congress during this session
will be out of the way and Congress will
have more leisure to consider the great
debt that it owes the men who served
the Nation in its day, of need.

THE IOWA CAMPAIGN.

A particularly stormy and frequently
vicious campaign in Iowa has resulted
in the probable defeat of Gov. Cum
Minis and tariff revision. While the lat
ter Influenced the campaign to a GER
tain extent, the main fight was between
the partisans of the Governor and his
opponents for the control of the State
Every effort was made to drag the Adj
ministration into it, and these only mar
rowly escaped success, if they did Who'll
ly. Secretary Shaw made one speech in
Iowa, the responsibility for which was
promptly disavowed by the President
whose Secretary telegraphed the Secre-
tary of the Iowa Republican Committee
''has not interfered. is not now interfer-
ing. and will not interfere in the Iowa
factional contest"
Gov. Cummins's success was felt to
be distinctly inimicaI to Secretary
Shaw's Presidential aspirations. since
Shaw is the most outspoken Standpatter
in the Cabinet.
The returns up to Saturday night in
dicated Gov. Cummins's' defeat He had
received 725 votes to 79S for Perkins.
AS the State Convention, which meets
Aug l, has 1,640 delegates. it will be
necessary for Cummins to get SO more
votes to control it, while Perkins will

SOLDIERS COMING TO THEIR OWN
AGAIN.

The election of Comrade William
Warner as Senator from Missouri has
now been followed by the election Of
Col Du Pont as Senator from Delaware
Bension as Senator from Kansas. Thus
in little while we have had three ex-
cellent veterans of the war and COM
rades take the places of civilians in the
Senate of the United States, and this
should be matter of congratulation to
all veterans and their friends. 1t shows
that the sterling worth of the men who
fought for their country is not for
gotten by the people and it is liable at
any time to receive unexpected but high
recognition. This makes the number of
men in the Senate who served their
country in the war of the rebellion as
follows:
NJ. G.. Bulkeley, Connecticut; II. A.
Du Pont. Delaware: A w. Benson.
Qansas; J. C. Burrows. r. A. Alger.
Michigan; Knute Nelson. Minnesota:
William Warner. Missouri: C. NJ. De-
pew, New York; ]. B. Foraker. Ohio;
Redfield Proctor. Vermont; n. b. Scott,
West Virginia; John C. Spooner, Wis
consin; and F. z. Warren. Wyoming.
Col. Henry A. Du Pont, the new Sena-
tor from Delaware, graduated from
West Point and commanded light bat
terry during the war, most of his service
being in the Shenandoah Valley. He
received brevets of Major and Lieuteu-
ant-Colonel for the Opeguan, Fishers
Hill and Cedar Creek, and also a Coa>
gressional Medal of Honor. He re-
signed from the Army in 1875.
Comrade A. w. Benson, the new Sena-
tor from Kansas. served as a private
soldier in the defense of Washington
against Early, and was also on Sher-
mans March to the Sea.
Both of these comrades will. with
Comrade Warner. of Missouri. be tow
er of strength in the Senate for the vet
Grams.

THERE ARE OTHERS.

The telegraph announces that fully
one ton of manifestly unwholesome
canned goods is destroyed daily at the
Stepney wharves. London. None Of
these is from America. but all come
from Australia and other British Colo
aIcs
Tie Medical Officers report shows a
condition of things which must affect the
stomachs of the Britishers in the same
qualmy way as that of Messrs. NeIll and
Reynolds did American organs of diges-
ton. He has found pretty much all the
enormities that greedy and perfectly un-
scrupulous packers can commit against
the health and welIbeing of their fell
low-men. The main consolation about
this scrap of news is that 1t prevents
foreign kettles from calling our pots
black. If we could have truthful re-
ports from the German and French
slaughterers and packers there would
be quite as much in them to shock as
We have had from Chicago. In fact.
only few weeks ago there was an ex-
posure OF the Berlin sausage makers
which took away all appetite of many
people for the savory and toothsome
Frankfurter. Berliner and Wienerwurst

RATES TO THE NATIONAL ENCAMP-
MENT,

Senior Vice Commander-in-Chie S.
H. fowler sends the following agree
ment with regard to rates to the Ma
tional Encampment:
One fare for the round trip, via recog-
nized ticketing routes, from Central
Passenger Association territory, on basis
of fares effective March l. 1906, added
to rate of one cent per mile per capita
in each direction, rendered by Western
Passenger Association; sufficient to be
added when necessary to make the per
capita fare end in 30" or "5"; tickets of
;ronclad signature punch descriptive
form requiring execution by Joint
Agent at minneapolis or st. Paul (for
which aofes of 25 cents will be charged)
to be sold Aug. 10. IL and IL, also for
such trains Of Aug. 13 as viii enable
passengers to leave Western Passenger
Association gateways (namely Chicago.
Peoria and, St Louis) on same date;
tickets not to be presented to Western
Passenger Association lines earlier than
Aug. Iii nor later than Aug. 13; final
return limit leaving Minneapolis or st.
Paul, Auga3l. 1905.
Except that by deposit of ticket with
Joint Agent at Minneapolis or ST. Paul
not earlier than Aug. Is nor later than
Aug. 81, and payment of fee of so cents
at time of deposit, an extension of final
return limit may be secured to leave
Minneapolis or st. Paul not later than
Sept. 30po 1906. Tickets so deposited
will be ,f5ecuted by Joint Agent when
withdragn from the agency, and will oe
honored for continuous return passage
leaving Minneapolis or st. Paul only on
date so validated.
This clause applies to all tickets from
all the other Associations.
Since Comrade Towler's letter was
written the Central Passenger Association
has decided to make a one-cent-a-mile
rate to the National Encampment at
Minneapolis. This rate will be put into
effect by all of the roads in the hsso-
citation. which includes nearly all of the
roads running into Minneapolis.
At all previous Encampments the flra
has been half rate for the round trip.
This new rate is considerable decrease
of the old and will in all probability
bring many thousands of visitors who
otherwise would be unable to attend.
The National tribune., 1906-06-21

On the motion of Representative
Bowersock, of Kansas, an amendment
was made to the Sundry Civil bill pro-
viding that no part of the appropria-
ton should apply to any National Sol
diers' Home in which a canteen is MAIN
tanned. The offering of the amendment
precipitated a very earnest discussion,
and both sides of the question We're
ardently advocated. Representative
Gardner, of Michigan, strongly support
ed the amendment and Representative
Sullivan opposed it on the ground that
beer was to many old soldiers a comfort
and O. necessity in the evening of life,
and that they should be able to get 1t
under proper conditions. Representa-
tive Goulden, member of the Board of
Trustees of the Bath IN. " Soldiers
Home, testified to the excellent results
from the canteen which it maintained.
He said that every member of the Board
was unanimously in favor of the post
exchange because they believe it a step
forward in the cause of temperance.
Representative Littlefield read statis-
tics in which it appeared that infrac
tions of the rules were larger in Homes
having canteens than in those without
them. The amendment was adopted by
vote of 109 to 63.

MEDAL FOR THE FIRST ENLIST
MENTS,

Senator Dick. of Ohio. has introduced
the following bill into the Senate:
"A BILL to furnish bronze Medals Of
Honor to SURVIVING soldiers who re-
sponded to President Lincoln's first
call for troops.
Il. Be it enacted by the Senate and
House of Representatives of the United
States of America in Congress assem-
bled, That a bronze medal be issued to
each surviving soldier who enlisted un-
der the first call of President Lincoln
for $4,000 troops"
This is in accordance with the action
of Massachusetts,. which issued medals
to all the troops which answered the
first call from that State. Comrade w
3. Taneyhill, Akron. o., is the prime
mover in the movement for this, and
he wants all the survivors of that call
to write letters to their Senators and
Representatives asking thei- earnest
consideration of the proposed bill.

The National Tribune has received

Even the publishers themselves are

But the artists soon exhausted all their
possibilities and the funny men all their

a host of cheap imitators. men who
could not draw and ''humorists'' whose
fun was either stupid or painful. The
thing has become a weekly nightmare.

DESERVING SYMPATHY.

There are two parties who deserve
sympathy in the present stagnaticn OF
the meat trade. The one are those re-
have loaded themselves up pretty well
with canned goods, for which the sale
is now greatly diminished. The coun-
try merchants. the grocers in the city
and others must be suffering q great
deal from having to carry stock for
which there is little sale The other
class is the very large one which pur-
chases. drives and fattens stock. These
must be suffering more acuteiy than any
others. The farmer need not trouble
himself so much. because good steer
or pig is readily marketable at all times.

serious position. They buy cattle. usual
ly extending their credit to the utmost
to pay for them. and then they must
market them Immediately or suffer
greatly. II an animal is properly fat
tened every pound of feed given it be-
fore its sale is a dead loss, and it does
not take a drove of cattle or pigs very
long to eat their heads off when they
are in the hands of man who must
buy his feed. He is being gnawed at in
both ways by the interest on his loan

HELP FOR SAN FRANCISCO.

The veterans must not think because
we are hearing so little at present from
San Francisco that the needs of the
sufferers from the terrible disaster have
been met and there is nothing further
required. The contrary is the case. The
first flush of spontaneous giving and re-
lieving has passed, and those who were
moved to generous contributions have
now gone about their ordinary voca-
tions unthinking of the continuous and
pressing needs that must come daily
upon those who saw everything they
had in the world swept away. The vet
Grams of the country cannot afford to
be as ObliyiouS to these conditions as
the rest of the world. They know how
their comrades and their comrades
WIDOWS must be suffering in these days
and how acutely they need assistance.
Let this be kept before the Posts and
tne veterans and a steady stream of
contributions be sent in which will help
our stricken friends bear up under their
calamity.
