He assailed some of the best men in
the senate; men who had the respect
of the country and the confidence Of
the president. With them he attack
ed senators of less favorable repute.
But his attacks were bitter, and the
senate was quick to show its resent
ment.
Naturally, after La Toilette had as
sumed this attitude towards republic
can senators they in turn were not
disposed to support legislation in
which La Toilette was primarily in
terested, and because Of this fact they
prevented a vote on La Follette's bill
regulating the hours Of employment
of railroad employees.
The sidetracking of this bill only
aroused La Toilette the more, and
when congress adjourned he threat
ened to "roast" those senators who,
for any cause, had incurred his en-
nifty. His conduct through the re-
cess has justified his words; he GER
tainly came forward with a choice Sc
lection of "roasts."
He began in Indiana before gath
ering of Indiana voters to whom he
had been introduced by Senator Hem
enway. The very first thing he did
was to put Hemenway on the gridiron
and toast him to the queens taste. He
cared nothing that Hemenway was
present. Then he went to New Jersey
and handed another roast to Senator
Dryden. Out in Kansas he assailed
Senator Long, who was close to the
president during the perfection of the
rate bill, and then crossed into Iowa
and attacked Dolliver, who was re.
garded through that long fight as the
presidents spokesman. In each case
he based his attacks on the attitude
Of the various senators towards the
rate bill.
Up in Minnesota Senator La Fol.
lette turned on both Senator Nelson
and Senator Clapp, and only short
time ago, after being introduced by
Senator Smoot, turned his heaviest ar.
tillery on the already much accused
Mormon senator. He wound UP with
his attack on Senator Fulton of Ore.

Washington, Dec. 3.-Washington
has no great manufacturing industries,
no great transportation interests, no
wide extended commerce, to occupy
the public mind, so we have to be
content with politics and society. 1t
Is the absence of all other interests
that makes Washington a sort of po-
litical and social center, from which
the country takes its political pabulum
and its social ethics.
II we couldn's talk politics, II we
were deprived of imagining that all
political wisdom emanated from here,
If our vanity was punctured and we
were told that the social world did
not center around the White House.
and the wives of the president and his
cabinet were not in reality the social
leaders of the country, like Othello,
we would find our occupation gone.
Congressman are coming, and the
newspaper correspondents who have
been away attending to their arduous
duties of guiding the public mind
again are flocking back preparatory
to beginning once more the ordinary
grind of keeping the world informed
as to what congress and the admins
tration are intending to do.
All these come fresh from the
warm hut hloodless political battle
that has teen fought out in the sew
eral states, and each can tell just what
| ha
il happened. and once more the politi-
cal mil, will begin its grind; presiden-
tial booms will be started on their
way; rumors of cabinet changes again
become rife; the congressional record
will resume its work of embalming
congressional oratory, and the circum-
ambient air will be perfumed by Uncle
Joe Canron's cigar.
The Panama canal will be dug from
the luxurious parlors occupied by the
Isthmian commission, Joseph Bishop
will continue to draw his salary OF
$4,000 a year for being nothing but
the presidentS friend; the govern
mcnt printin&office will continue tc
be q trouble and worry for the man at
the head of it, the men and women
on the inside and congress on the out
side: Cuba and the anomalous con.
ditions existing there; the tariff with
the Philippines; the peremptory dis
missal of the negro troops; the con-
tentions of organized labor, and many
other kindred subjects will be aired
daily, weekly or occasionally, just al
they happen to strike the mind of tn,
correspondent.
The members of congress who fail
ed of a reelection, or failed in get
ting a nomination for a reelection
will, during the winter, either decid,
on what office they will want from
the hands of the administration, 1
they happen to he on the administra
I ton side, or of how they can so ar
range their batteries that in 1908 the
will be able TO down the man who pu
them in hook in 1906.

Twenty.Two Fine Horses Burned.

Word was received in the city last
night of the burning of 22 fine work
horses in fire that occurred in Erick-
son & Peterson's construction camp
at Evans Landing, about 6 o'clock
Tuesday night. Superintendent JEFF
frees and Engineer p. D. Perkins ar
rived in the city last night from
Evans Landing, where they went to
loog after the loss. They state
that the only material loss as the re-
suit of the blaze was the horses. Some
hay was Destroyed but the grain
escaped the flames.
The origin of the fire is a mystery.
The horses had just been stabbed for
the night and the men were at the
cookhouse. Flames were noticed to
be issuing from the stable and when
investigation was made it was dis
covered that the whole front of the
barn was on fire. This made recovery
of the maddened animals within i'm.
possible. The dry lumber composing
the stable burned with great rapidity
Although heroic efforts were made tc
save the horses 1t was soon seen that
all attempts were useless and it was
soon abandoned.
1t is the theory that a spark from
pipe or cigarette fell in the dry
straw or refuse about the barn ant
that in this manner the flames spread
The horses were heavy draught ami
mails and were valued highly by the
contractors. The loss is in the neigh
borhood of S2000.-Lewiston Tribune

IA FOLLETTE's PARTY To D|SCRED|T HIM

The managers of the republican
headquarters in Washington, D. c.,
have prepared q screed against Sem
ator LaFollette, whose popularity
has been multiplied several hundred
fold by his summer lecture tour in
which he read the senate roll call on
the railroad rate bill vote.
1t is the Intention of the friends
OF senators whom La Toilette has
held up before the public to attempt
to disgrace and discredit that gen.
tleman on his return to congress.
A sample of the prejudiced news"
now being sent out is contained in the
following which is being printed in
Northwest papers:
Senator La Toilette of Wisconsin,
may have strengthened himself before
the people at large by his series Of at
tacks upon his fellow senator's, but he
has not helped himself in the senate.
On the contrary, La Toilette Is very
apt to prove a dead one" when he
returns to Washington to face the
men he attacked during the summer,
La Toilette by his course not only
aroused the enmity of the various sem
ators he assailed, but he has incurred
the ill-will of many others who do not
approve of any senator going about
the country criticising his colleagues
In their own states.~ Such practice is
frowned upon by the senate, and 1t is
not considered good form for any SEN
ator to make an assault upon another
unless 1t be In the heat Of debate, and
even then personalities are supposed
to be limited.
They Hate La Toilette.
The truth is the republicans Of the
senate don't like La Toilette and
never did. He had the reputation OF
being a demagogue before he came to
Washington, and when he landed In
the senate that reputation was fast
ened upon him the, more firmly. La
Toilette assumed high and mighty
air as senator; took the position that
he was right and his colleagues wrong
and Immediately proceeded to quarrel
with everybody who did not agree
with him.

The term of 30 members of the
United States senate will expire March
3. 1907. The New York World de-
scribes the situation in this way: In
only few states, and those republi-
can, does the reelection of sitting
senators or the choice Of their sue
cesgors remain In doubt. Where DEM
ocratic senators are to retire in the
south their democratic successors have
generally been designated, as In the
case of Senator Berry, Of Arkansas
and Senator Carmack. of Tennessee
who will make room for Governor
"Jeff" Davis and "Fiddling Rob" Tay-
lor
Senator Patterson. Of Colorado, will
Yield probably to Simon Guggenheim
who is credited with having financed
the republican campaign, and the leg
islaturcs of Idaho and Montana will
replace Senator Dubois and Senator
Clark with republicans.
The good old days seem to have
passed In Montana when Clark with
Midas-lika touch could turn republi-
can votes into gold. In at least three
states the republicans are sharply d.
vided.
In Rhode Island enough indepen-
dent republicans have declared them
selves against the corrupt Brayton-
Aldrich machine to threaten the ex-
tinction of Senator Wstmore and to
give hopes, through democratic CO.
operation OF the election of Colonel
Goddard. Senator Dryden's chances
of reelection in New Jersey grow
simmer as the time for assembling OF
the legislature draws near. But
he is fighting desperately and has
gone to Trenton to marshal his forces
in person.
Michigan has four leading candi-
dates who aspire to Senator Alger's
seat-Representative William Alder
Smith, Representative Charles E
Townsend. Arthur Hill, wealthy
lumberman. who fought the old Nc
MILAN machine in the days past, and
william C. Mcmillan, the former SEN
ator's son.

CHICAGO SHEEP MARKET.
The Market Was Strong and Prices
Reached $40.

The Chicago Livestock World gives
the following review OF the Chicago
sheep market:
1t was a weak to 25-cent lower mar
ket. Lots of lambs sold a quarter
lower, although $40 top material
lied. This was unreliable, however,
as only one made-to-order bunch reg
istered the price and otherwise the
best of them were put over at $3.50.
An early estimate of $4,000 was de-
pressing influence. At late hour a
lot of them were back, but the guess

AT FRONT Skagwayans Getting in on
 Ground Floor

A letter written from Seattle by a former Skagwayan, speaking of the proposed Orca-C Copper Center-Fairbanks road which will be built by M,J, Heuey, says many former Skagwayaus will be associated with Mir Heney. He says: "Dr F. B. Whiting, of Seattle, will go with him as surgeon for the road and E. E. Seigley, cashier for Mir, Heney during the construction of the Bennett WhitehOrse extension of the White Pass, will have charge of the accounts of the new road.

 "Men are being engaged here now for different work in connection with the road. They are wsnted for grading, cutting piles and other things Among those who have been engaged is W. II, Hooper, formerly of Skagway,"
 It is also said P. c. Copeland, form erly of Skagway and other portions Of the north, will be employed by MT. Heney.
