ings, to command with, not a bad start
when the size of the cities are consid-
cred. Heretofore it has been the Gus
tom to limit public buildings to cities
of larger population and both Baraboo
and Platteville may we'll consider
themselves fortunate for being so we'll
taken care of in the stress of the de-
mand for appropriations.
*
Congressman Esch, Davidson, Miner
and Brown, up to this time have
clear field SO far as opposition in the
primaries are concerned. According to
reports both Often and Stafford are to
be opposed, and the congressional
nominations in Wisconsin bid fair to
be holly contested. All appear to be
confident, however. that they will be
renominated.

Wisconsin people interested in to
bacco growing maintain their interest
in the Philippine tariff bill and the
senators are receiving many letters
and petitions in protest of the passage
of the bill. As.soon as the rate meas
ure is disposed of, it is asserted that
the bill will be called from the com
mittee and debated on the floor of the
senate. Tobacco and beet sugar men
are of the belief that the bill will work
most harmfully to the Wisconsin farm
erS.

During the week the agricultural
depal tment appropriation bill will
be considered, and the provision
relating to the distribution of free
seeds will be extensively debated.
A move is on foot to shut off the
distribution of seeds by congress
men and has the backing of Secre-
tary Wilson of the department as
we'll as many prominent members
of congress. Under the law each
senator and member is entitled to
so many packages and these are
sent to the farmers throughout the
country. The distribution has grown
to enormous proportions and has
met the objection of the seed houses
Of the country. Congress has been
flooded with petitions requesting
the repeal of the law. The south
ern members appear to favor the
present law and the effort to repeal
the same will be fought on the
fl DOR.

The Speaker is to be given banquet
by members of congress and other
Washington dignitaries, some time
in the near future, the occasion will
be one of the most memorable social
gatherings of the country's history.
Notwithstanding the, fact that the
speaker is occasionally raked over
the Goals by members who oppose
him in the exercise of his powers
under the committee on rules, there
is no more popular man in Wash
1ngton. He is easy of approach,
positive and direct in his manner
and holds the personal respect of
every member. He is one of the
few men in the house of recognized
presidential size and his many years
OF congressional experience make
him more or less a presidential DOS
slblllty. When this is suggested to
him, Speaker Cannon ridicules the
suggestion and the claim is made
that he is satisfied with the speaker
ship and will again be reelected in
case the republicans control the
next house. When he wants to
carry a measure he is a ve1itible
war horse in action, and without
his efforts, the insurgents would
have been the victors in every
skirmish this session.

Coming at time when all Wash
ington was distracted by the re-
ports of the San Francisco calamity,
Senator LaFollette's speech failed to
attract the attention it perhaps
otherwise would. His audiences
during the several days so far as
the galleries were concerned were
large, and in the main, he COM
manded the attention of a fair num-
Der of senators. He was interrupt
ed only by Senators Dolliver and
Foraker and read his speech from
manuscript. Senator LaFollette ap-
peared to resent the fact that some
of the senators were absent and
called attention to the fact by as
sorting that some of the seats
temporarily vacant might be per-
manently vacant. His speech was
an exhaustive argument favoring
the position Senator LaFolette has
contended for so long in Wisconsin
politics.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
Special Correspondence to the Herald
from the Nations Capital.

Washington, D. c., April %
For the last three sessions, Senator
LaFollette has been occupying the
attention of the senate in his speech
upon the rate bill and will conclude
to-day. He has covered the entire
question Incorporating much of his
Wisconsin addresses in his speech.
He contends that the Hepburn
Dolliver bill is inadequate and will
fail to furnish remedy for claimed
transportation evils as they exist
to-day. Senator LaFollette advocates
an amendment which will authorize
the appraisal of all railroad pro-
perty in the country, contending
that unless the interstate commerce
commission knows the value Of rail
road property, definitely secured
and asCertained, they can not fix a
just and reasonable rate. To bring
this about, he advocates appropria.
ton of S., 900, 900 to make a correct
valuation.

In estimating the service a con-
gresham can be to his constituents
attention must be given to the fact
thatno new man can hope to compete
with the member who has served a
number of terms. The new mem
Der, however able he may be or
however he may be determined to
work for the best interests of his
districts, is handicapped by the fact
that he has no place on the more
important committees nor is he in a
position for some time where he
can make his influence felt. If he
seeks to break in to the congressional
routine by too often consuming the
time of the house through speeches
on the floor, it S only question of
time when he is classified as a talk
ing member and finds himself drawn
into every debate when the house
sits IN committee of the whole. This
IS practically the only activity some
OF the members show, for they have
no place on the committees which
deal with important questions, and

There is every present prospect that
the appropriation for the new public
building at Platteville will pass con-
gress, if the public building bill can
ever be reached in the multiplicity of
appropriation measures which still
await consideration. 1t will come IN
some time in the near future, and Con
gresham Babcock has the assurance
of members of the committee that
Platteville will be included. This
will give the third district two build

take charge of the debate and no
time is given to those who usually
do the talking.

COURT IS GOING TO
Be BUSY FOR TIME.
Summer Session To Convene
Monday.
STARTING ON CIVIL BUSINESS
Regular May Term Will Begin Mon
day and Session Will Continue Sew
eraI Weeks-civil Docket is a Con-
siderable One.

Again, for the second time within q
month, superior court is to convene
here, the regular May term beginning
tomorrow morning. And session of
several weeks is promised ere all bust
ness is completed and tho wheels of
justice cease turning.
For, while the amount of criminal
business is comparatively small the
civil docket is larger than usual, and
probably two weeks will be r, qui-ed 10
try all such cases
Four ctses alone, it tried, Will take
up weeF, quite likely.
A few of the larger cases on tbs civil
side have been IN the conrts for some
time, and doubtless will he finally dis.
posed Of at this session, The Allen
Taylor case, the Broadhurst-Bjrd case
and the Salter will case are among the
more important ones.
While there are Only two or three Jail
cases as yet, the grand jury may be de.
pended upon to create enough business
on the criminal side to interest the
court for at least one week,
The criminal dolk.t thus far is the
lIghtest in many years
This is due to The fact thai, at The
recent special term of court sitting for
three days, several felony cases were
tried, including that of Jonas Hicks
for murder. To this special session is
attributable an empty Jail and light
docket Just now.
Many true bills found by the special
term grand jury will b. prosecuted at
the regular term now about to convene.
Or the criminal side are dozen bills
for vagranc-, while the proprietors of
dozen questionable resorts are alike
indicted.
A busy session of at least three weeke
can very safely be promised.

SEEKING THE HIDDEN DOLLARS
Relatives of Mrs. Sullivan Hope to
Find More

TIE Times-Recorder told recently of
the discovery of several thousand dol
lars in gold and banknotes, concealed
in the residence of the late Mrs. Jose
phine Sullivan at Andersonville. since
that time the search made by members
of her family has been continued. with
more or less success. It is said that
81, 500 in bills was found in an old out
house, covered over with empty corn
sacks, where it had been hidden for
years. Sewcd up in the mattress of her
bed was a stocking full of gold coin.
In all. nearly SIS, 600 was thus found.
Mrs. Sullivan, it is said was caught by
the collapse of bank here some dozen
years ago and since that time preferred
to hide her money at home.

CROWD IS GOING TO
FILL UP THE TOWN.
Black Host Going to Storm
Again.
THE MARCH TO ANDERsoNvILLE
Thousands of Blacks Will Infest the
Town on Wednesday-Un Veter'
ans and Friends VIII Hold Memorial
Exer cises.

Wednesday next is Federal memorial
day, or decoration day" as it is term
ed in the north, and the usual exercises
will take place at Andersonville ma.
tional cemetery near Americas, where
some IA, 900 of those who fought in the
ranks of blue are inferred.
The exercises will be under direction
of the veterans posts at Macon and at
Fitzgerald.
Andersonville cemetery is one of the
handsomest in the South and contains
more costly monuments, erected by
northern states, the do any other half
dozen cemeteries combined
Special trains for white people inter.
ested in the exercises will be operated
from Fhz gerald and Macon. There
will be various addresses, appropriate
music by choir and military band, and
the decoration of graves with miniature
union flags.
But while these solemn and i'm.
presslve exercises are transporting in
the beautiful city of the dead, over in
the little village a half mile distant
will be witnessed a scene far diff rent.
1t will be like a sudden transition
from picture of reverence and beauty
to veritable inferno.
Thronging the one street of the
historic little town, the alleys and
even the woods adjacent will be ten
thousand negroes, drought from mid
die and south Georgia and Alabama
aboard excursion trains for day of
wild revelry in the little town.
From AmerIcus and every town in
south Georgia these people will go
there in vast numbers.
For years past they have made An
Jacksonville their Mecca, though more
inappropriate selection could not be
imagined. And there the widest
orgies RE often conducted,
OF course the better class of colored
people have no part therein, conducting
themselves always in a most orderly
and decorous way, but the turpentine
farms and rural districts always send
a gang whose only idea is to get drunk
and fight.
And these toughs, armed and drunk
en- ZuIus, cut, shoot and gamble to
their hearts content.
Many murders have been committed
there upon thase annual froIIcs, and
usually host.of the black law-break-
ers are rounded up by the military
and sheriff's posse and brought here
for trial. On one occasion recently the
Light Infantry brought here thirty
prisoners.
This is The inevitable outcome Of
"Andersonville Day" andf there is
every reason to believe that the same
conditions will obtain there next Wed.
