alton of the oppressed and broken
down every wall of exclusion and
snapped every scepter of tyranny
and beckoned the world to loftier
heights of achievement. The star
gazers do their work and then vanish
from sight. Who were the magi-
the wise men from the east-who
came out of the obscurity to salute
the newborn king and then returned
TO the gloom Of unified mystery?
NOBODY knows. Tradition names
them and legend says they were
kings. Genius has invented charm
ing stories concerning them and
artists have put them on canvas
but nothing really is known. Per-
haps they were phrophvcY that in
the good time coming all the ends
of the earth should acknowledge
the supremacy of the babe of Beth
lehem and all kings should fall
down before him.
The star gazer seeks no honor for
himself. He is an index finger
pointing in the direction of new
messiahs and when the attention of
the needless multitude has been at
tracted he himself retires from the
! field of vision. The astronomer
puts into the hands of men the
telescope and shows them how to
use it and returns to his laboratory
to dream again ana now every gap
ing rustic can gaze at the flaming
glories of the heayens. Star gazers
are not promoters of trusts-they
blazon their discoveries abroad and
let the world into their secrets.
They hesitate not to bend the knee
to the king wherever they find him.
1t is nothing to them that he is
Graded in manger and wrapped
in swaddling clothes and that his
parents are nobodys and that stolid
camel drivers look at him and see
nothing but a peasants child. The
wise men see in that newborn
infant the monarch of the ages
the emanclpator of nations the
ruler of countless millions, the king
before whom every knee shall bow.
SS2
The star gazers teach the world
to pay attention. Sir Isaac New
ton said he was not conscious of
surprising any of his fellows except
in the accident of attention. But
attention is no accident. The slip
shod soul that goes heedlessly
through life never stumbles by &C
c1dent on great discoveries. Con-
centration gets rich. Intensity of
search finds reward. Gazing into
the midnight heavens the eye of
the sleepless watcher catches the
first CLEAN of his star. For every
one that really asketh receiveth
and he that seeketh findeth and to
him that knocketh it shall be
opened. Those who apparently by
accident come to great discoveries
are those whose minds have been
for years knocking at the doors Of
mystery. Suddenly they touch the
hidden spring and the portal opens.

It is understood that CONGRESSMAN
Brown has lost out in his contest
with the postmaster general over
the appointment of the postmaster
at Merrill, the department recon-
mending the appointment of the
present incumbent, Chris johnson
and discarding the recommendation
OF Atty. Smart, made by Congress
man Brown There is a possibility
that the contest will be transferred
to the senate where confirmation
may be contested. The result is
significant in the fact that the case
is illustrative of the gradual as
sumption by the departments of
prerogatives heretofore assumed to
belong absolutely to members of
congress. 1t has always been cur
rently believed that member was
IN control of the patronage of his
district, but under the ruling of the
department, if 1t is satisfied with 8
postmaster, the congressman can
not remove him.

1t now appears that the rate bill
will be ready to submit to the vot-
ing process sometime during the
next week or two, so far as the
many amendments submitted are
concerned Practically every day
Senator Tillman makes a suggestion
looking to the vote of the senate
and it is now claimed that the dis
cussiOn has about been concluded.
1t is believed that a reasonably
adequate bill will be the result, one
that will confer additional powers
upon the interstate commerce com
mission and meet in a fair and rea-
sonable way the necessities of the

WASHINGTON LETTER

Washington. D. G. May From
the view point of a strictly legal
argument covering his propositions
on the rate law legislation, the
speech Of Senator Spooner delivered
the last of the week, was one of the
most notable efforts ever listened to
by the senators. Senator Spooner
made no effort to talk to the gal
Ier1es but addressed himself to the
constitutional questions involved in
the pending legislation. Additional
interest was given the occasion be
cause Of the fact that the speech
was reply to the address of Sena-
tor Bailey of Texas which had been
heralded as practically conclusive
summing up of the law on the sub
ject. Senator Spooner's reply was a
complete refutation ofthe views ex-
pounded by the Texas senator andhis
Interpretation of the law and when
the senior Wisconsin senator con-
cluded, Senator Bailey admitted that
the arguments presented were full
and conclusive.
-
1t may be of interest to Wiscon-
sin readers to state that Senator
Bailey also admitted that efforts
made to show that Senator Spooner
had attempted to mislead the senate
in his former speech were absolute
ly unfounded. During the discus
sion of the rate bill from day to
day, the effort has been made to
show that Senator Spooner was be
ing worsted by the Texas senator
and the statements were sent broad
cast through the state. The fact is,
that Senator Bailey himself, not
withstanding the strength Of his
able effort, comedies the soundness
of the position maintained by Sena-
tor Spooner and took occasion to
state on the floor of the senate, that
Senator Spooner had been mis-
represented by those who sought to
read into his remarks criticism of
Senator Spooner.

The proposition to remove the
duty on steel, iron, lumber aid
other products for the benefit of tx e
San Francisco sufferers, is being
considered to some extent by con-
gress. There has been more or less
talk of such an act, but at the pres
ent time it appears to be the senti-
ment that there will be no remedi-
al legislation along that line. Con-
gresham Babcock and other mem
bers of the ways and means COM
mittee have gone on record as fav-
oring plan to give the sufferers
relief, but the majority of the COM
mittee having been organized by
the stand pat tariff forces, seems to
be adverse to any legislation which
might serve as an entering wedge
to revision of the schedules.
Grant County herald. [volume] (Lancaster, Wis.) 1850-1968, 1906-05-05

Tie prospects are that the repub-
lican members favoring revision
of the schedules before the session
closes will make their view known
and will declare themselves as fav-
oring a change. At the present
time Speaker Cannon and other
members of the stand pat organiza-
tion such as Payne and Dalzell, in
speeches made on the floor by mem
bers, seek to destroy the effect of
democratic agitation. Last week
Congressman Hepburn of Iowa de
livered a speech which will be ex-
tensively distributed by the repub-
lican campaign committee. He was
answered by John Sharp Williams
Of Mississippi and by other demo
Gratis and their speeches will also be
sent into the districts as stating the
democratic position on the tariff. It
is entirely probable that speeches
will be made by some of the repub-
licans who are opposed to the stand
pat views of the party leaders. The
Babcock idea is strong in congress
and many members believe that

His Return u "a the Criticism Made OF
His Absence.

WASHINGTON, June Ex-senator Thomas
C. Platt was in his seat in the Senate to-day
for the first time in a fortnight. Senator
Platt's return to his legislative duties was
due to the criticisms that nave been made
OF the absence from Washington Of both
the New York Senators. Opinion varied
as to the Senator's physical condition.
Some of those who saw him to-day said
he was feebler than usual, while others
thought there had been nc change.
Senator Platt has Endorsed John Addison
Young, the present District Attorney for
Westchester county, for the new Federal
Judgeship in the Southern district Of New
York. His Endorsement Of Robert c. Morris
for this place has been withdrawn. The
fact that Representative Herbert C. Par
