An exchange says: Never ask a man what he knows, but what he can do. A fellow may know everything that has happened since the Lord started the ball to rolling and not be able to do any thing to help keep it from stop ping. But when a man can do anything, he is bound to know something worth while. Books are alright, but dead mems brains are no good unless you mix a live ones with them.

Washington, DC, March l6.--Treas-
ury warrants were issued yesterday
for payment of something over $50, 600
as extra pay to the Virginia volunteers
of the war with Spain for the short time
intervening from the time they were as
sembled by the Governor and their mus
ter into the United States army. About
$l1, 800 was allowed on the claim by the
Auditor for the War Department some
months ago and on appeal taken by the
attorneys for the same some $40, 700
more was allowed. This is the first
claim settled since the passage Of the act
of Congress, April %, 1904, extending
the time for the present action OF the
claim. 1t has been treated as leading
case with reference to this act, aud the
settlement of claims of other States has
awaited this decision. The comptrOller's
rulings bear favorabIy upon the claims
of North Carolina, South Carolina, Geor-
gia, Alabama and several other States.
The moneys allowed by the comptroller
10 their case will be paid to Governor
Swanson and will be disbursed to the
soldiers by the State authorities. Three
officials will make up rolls for the pur-
pose of this distribution, snd 1t is sup.
posed that the work will consume several
weeks.

Mr.. Shackleford, of Missouri, 10 the
House yesterday denounced Speaker
Cannon for his attitude on statehood.
Regarding the manner in which MIR.
Brooks had got bill before the House,
he said:
"The gentleman was not recognize
until he had 6rst surrendered his constl-
tutionaI rights as representative of the
people and crept into your private room,
Mr.. Speaker, there to supplicate you to
extend to him your grace. No member
can submit any matter to vote OF the
House until be shall have first sought
and found favor in your sight. The con-
stilution contempIates that the Speaker
shall be the servant OF the House.
In defiance of the constitution you
have made yourself its master. You have
packed every committee 50 that NJ bill
can be reported Without your con-
sent. Unless you are willing, no
member can move 10 discharge a COM
mites from the consideration of q bill
and take il up in the House. You
lit an enthtoned despot, subjecting
the rights and destinies of this great
people to the dictates Of your unabridged
will VITO stands today between pro-
gressive, enlightened people and the
statehood TO which they are entitled
You, sir. Only you. You crack your whip
and majority of this House covers at
your feet. You turn your thumbs down,
and the House deals a deathblow to
PROSTATE, bleeding Oklahoma"
Here Mr.. Shackleford said he had
read in the morning papers that "Uncle
Joe" ad given it out fat footed that he
would not permit the House TO concur
in the Senate amendment On the state
hood bill, and then proceeded What
horrible announcement to be made in
free country % The confusion in the
House throughout Mr.. Snackleford's re-
marks was such that very few members
knew what he said when Mr.. Tawney
stopped him with an election.
