week OF this session. That Is to say
that the pay limit for members is on
Saturday.
x X X
Those who have been here for sew
eral years say that the work is prob
ably worse behind than they have ever
known at this stage in the session.
None Of the matters Of general inter-
est have yet been determined. The dis
pepsary question is still unsettled;
the tax. question has not been discus
sed and several other matters which
should have attention will have to die
with the session.
The whole of last week was practi-
eallY consumed with the discussion Of
the Mspensary.
The house has finished the Morgan
bill and sent it to the senate with
numerous amendments. The debate
has started in the senate and it is
not known when vote will be
reached.
Mr. Morgan vas sick for several
days and was not IN the house when
the amendments we're made to his
bill. 1t was reeagrossed before 1t
was sent sa the senate including all
the amendments. The debate on the
question in both houses has attracted
much attention and the attendance
has been large.
The two leading speeches in the SEN
ate up to this have been made by
Senator Brice for the bill and Sena-
tor Walker Of Georgetown against, the
bin. Mr. Walker made a very fine
argument from his standpoint against
the bill. He is one of the finest debat-
ers in the legislature and withal
most excellent gentleman. 1t is prob
able that there will be several other
speeches before vote is taken.
The question still is what will be
the final result. As stated in this
correspondence two OF three weeks
ago the senate has a small majority
in favor Of the dispensary system
properly managed as they term it;
and if they still hold to their view
the Morgan bill will be killed. It is
said that the senate is 10 to % against
the Morgan bill. It is seen, therefore,
that it would take only change of
two votes to change the result, but
the senate, as a rule. is not influenced
by discussion.
IF the senate should kill this bill
then it would be up to the house to
say if it could come to the senate
position amending the present dis
pensarv law as contained in what IS
known as the Raysor-Manning bill.
This, it is said. the house will not do
aud if that be true, then there will be
no dispensary legislation at this ses-
sion and the people can say next sum-
mer what they want to do.
Ny opinion now is that this Will be
the result, and that nothing will be
done.
The general supply bill has been
introduced and Comptroller General
Homes has prepared another supply
which has also been introduced by the
WAYS and Means committee which
hoes not make any levy for the state
or ordinary county purposes and
7osves that to be done after the as
sessments are all made. This is done
:, view Of the increased assessment
which it is expected will be made this

MANY PERILS OF
SHIP RIGGER5
Twenty Per Cent Manned Yearly.
Business Demands Great
Skill and Courage.

A skillful ship rigger never strikes.
Come good times or bad. the supply Of
volunteers for this most desperate Of
occupations never falls below the de-
mand. The ship riggers are to be seen
along the water fronts Of all great
ports perched7 high in air, like, great
spiders busted with their strange archi-
lecture They work in all sorts Of
weather, both by day and night No
other calling demands such q combina-
ton Of skill and courage and the abil-
ity to work quickly in the face often
of appalling danger.
There is no exaggeration in the state
ment that the rigging Of ships, espe-
cially those requiring repairs after
long service, is the most dangerous Of
occupations.
According to reliable statistics, fully
20 per cent of all regularly employed
ship ringers are MANNED, often very
seriously, every year. The proportion
Of Triggers seriously injured in a life
time is about 90 per cent. The greater
number of accidents are caused by
falls from aloft or by being struck by
falling objects, such as blocks or spars
or pieces Of heavy rigging, falling
from great heights. Serious knife
wounds come next in order. The rec
ords of such accidents, as evidenced
by the books of any hospital in a great
seaport, are long and grewsome.
A rio Hn OF n
a sailor, tight rope walker, something
Of a trapeze artist and an experienced
shipbuilder rolled into one. He must
be literally a jack of all trades and a
master at least Of several of them.
The ironworker who balances himself
on steel Orders on a great bridge or
skyscraper, the trapeze artist in the
circus or the ''steeplejack" actually
works in far less danger of his life.
The danger to the latter class Of
workers is more familiar and has been
the more widely advertised. But ship
rigger must keep perfectly cool head
in the face Of dangers which might
stagger a Nelson or a Dewey. Your
''steeplejaek" may be perfectly self
possessed at high attitudes, but then
he works with the assurance that his
support at least is stable. The struc-
tural iron worker feels that he can de-
pend upon the solidity of the steel
beams beneath him, while the most
daring trspeze performer never ven
lures on ropes which have not been
thoroughly tested and rarely without a
net beneath him.
But the rigger knows no such safety
in his support. The fact that his serv-
ices are required aloft means, Of course,
that the complicated rigging is faulty.
The mastS or spars may be rotten to
the breaking point, the ropes may part
at any instant. 1t is just this uncer-
tainty which renders the rigger's life
extra hazardous. He must mount with
the agility Of a cat and work quickly
in a network Of rigging which may
part at any instant 1t would be diff
ferent If he could even choose his own
time and weather, but the rush insep-
arabic from such work allows him no
choice. Rain or snow or ice greatly

origin Of steam whistles.

AS the train approached a crossing
the engineer lifted a tin horn from the
seat beside him and blew q long, resO-
nant blast that was scarcely audible
above the rattle Of the cars A farmer
on his way to market failed to hear
the warning blast. The next instant he,
with his cart, hundred pounds Of but
ter and thousand fresh eggs. was mix
ed up in a monster Omelette by the side
Of the track The farmer was unhurt,
but very angry. He brought suit and
recovered full damages from the rail-
road. This happened in England in
1888.
The president of the road sent for
George Stephenson and said angrily:
Our engineers can't blow their horns
loud enough to clear the tracks ahead.
You have made your steam do so
much. why don't you make it blow a
good loud horn for u.s."
Stephenson pondered. An idea came
to him. He visited a musical instru-
ment maker and had constructed a
horn that gave a horrible screech when
blown by steam. From this horn the
locomotive whistle of today descends.
The Pensacola journal. (Pensacola, Fla.) 1898-1985, 1906-01-02

As he fell, apparently to certain death,
he struck a rope, which caused linn TO
turn two complete somersaults III his
descent and landed him on pile OF
loose sails, which considerably broke
his fall. While every one stood aghast
he picked himself up nim5ly, shook
himself and proceeded to climb back to
his original position.
Another rigger in falling from
height which threatened instant death
struck against slack rope by great
good luck, which broke his fall and
swung him against a mast. Instinc-
lively he clutched it's smooth sides and
slid quite unhurt to the deck below.
There is a rigger in New York today,
well known along the docks in South
street. who lost almost his entire scalp
in an accident a few years ago. \ rot
ten spar falling from a considerable
height struck him fairly on the head,
scraping the skin clean from the skull,
but without breaking the bones.
To become an expert rigger. qualified
to supcrintend as we'll as execute the
work, the man must undergo a long
and exacting apprenticeship. He must
begin his apprenticeship with at least
two years of actual service before the
mast; he must learn to know the ship
to the last detail of her rigging. Be
fore he can be trusted with the more
technical problems Of his trade the ap-
prentice must pass to the drawing
board, where he learns the theory Of
shipbuilding and ship rigging This
training is supplemented in turn by a
course in some shipyard. Before a rig
ger undertakes to repair ship, for in
stance, he must know the name and
use of every rope, must be able to
! measure distance accurately at a
glance and thereafter calculate to a
nicely just what ship needs. To all
this he must Of course bring skill to
execute the theoretical side of his train

The Remedy for
Dishonesty In Politics.

The game Of graft which to Judge
from the many revelations during the
year 1905, has run not in politics as
well as in other lines, while it has
called forth the most caustic COM
me and denuncistion from the press
Of the country has brought out but
little in the way of suggestions look
ing 20 a remedy. A recent issue of
the New Orleans PicsyUne contained
the following on the subject of dis
honesty in politics:
r. as is commonly charged, our
politics is rotten. and state and NUM-
cipal governments are hOneycOmbed
with graft and corruption, it is be-
cause the sO-called best citizens. the
men who control commerce and in
dustries. refuse to vote in public cleo
tons and leave the entire direction
and domination of politics to those
who are directly interested and who
expect 10 profit by the attention given
to public affairs. II has been said
that there is a great advantage in
having dishonest men in national.
state and municipal legislatures, be-
cause il is easier 20 get special favors
from such men than from those com
posed of honest men.
The Memphis Commercial-Appesl IN
republishing the above, comments
thereon as follows:
Here is a strange condition of az
fairs. These "sO-cailed best citizens;
the meh who control commerce and
industries" remain away from the
polls that the people may elect to
once men who are purchaseable by
the absentees.
For. Of course, the absentees are
the only ones interested in persUad-
ing the elected oficial to swerve from
the straight line. Nobody ever heard
Of the common people having OcCa-
sion 10 ask for special favOrs" from
national, state and municipal legis-
latures." Only the captains of indus
try. those who control commerce ana
Industry" are found knocking for the
special favor; consequently, if the
Picayune's contention is true, there
Is method in the absence from the
polls Of the "socalled best citizens q"
They promise, so It would seem, to
stand aside and permit wolves in
sleeps clothing unchsllenged ingTeSs
Go The fold OF popular favor.
The Picayune blames the "sOcalled
GOOD citizen" for this state Of affairs
no doubt he is partially responsible,
but the chief blame must rest on the
peOple themselves-thOse who take
part in every political event.
Dishonest officials are made by dis
honest elections. When the people
permit the robbery Of the ballot
those who gain Office by it have al
most a right 70 look upon dishonest
representation as a precedent bearing
popular approval.
If. then. these evils are to be cor
recteT there is no need 20 call in the
eo-cslled good citizen, but the people
themselves must purge themselves OF
that spirit Of tolerance Of ballot roo
berries which is prevalent throughout
the country.

CLaracterIstics of European cite.

An observer, says a correspondent Of
the Leeds Mercury, has drawn up lit.
tie table in which he arranges the prin-
cipal cities and towns Of the world ac-
cOrding to a classification which has
at least the merit OF novelty. Each
town is considered from the point OF
view Of the trades which are carried on
in it. According to these statistics, in
Paris there reside the most tailors, up
holsterers, bonnet makers, BARRIERS, adj
Yocates and men OF letters, men or
women. In London we lind the most
cab and carriage proprietors. engineers,
printers, booksellers and-thOugh most
people would scarcely credit it--coOks
In Amsterdam we find the most are
dealers ana money lenders. Brussels
is celebrated as the place where the
largest number Of boys smoke. 1t is
IN Naples that we find the most street
porters. We sec tho largest number Of
beer drinkers in Berlin. Florence pos
sesses the most flower sellers, and Lis
bon is celebrated as containing tho
most bailiffs.
