IE his opening prayer in the Senate
We me sday Chaplain Edward Everett
Hale made reference to the San Francisco
disaster. Only routine business was trans
acted, adjournment until Thursday being
taken at II 30 p. m. to permit the Demo
Gratis to proceed with their conference on
the railroad rate bill. The San Francisco
disaster hung like pail over the House,
legislation being carried on in perfume
tory way. A resolution was adopted d.
recting the War and Navy Departments
to place at the disposition of the Mayor
of San Francisco such supplies as may
be necessary. A resolution of sympathy
also was passed. The bill extending the
national irrigation law to Texas was pass
ed, and the conference report on the pen
sion appropriation bill agreed to. An APP
preparation of $4,000 to bring home the
bodies of the men killed on the battleship
Kearsarge was voted. The Speaker laid
before the House and had read the mes
sage of the President relating to the de-
cision of Judge Humphrey in the beef
cases. Speaker Cannon said he had in
structed the journal clerk to omit the
names of John n. Williamson (Oregon)
and Malcolm r. Patterson (Tenn.) from
the future rolls of the House. as they have
not attended sessions and have not been
sworn in. He said this statement was
due by reason of his ruling that 191 mem
hers constitute a quorum.
The Miller sun. (Miller, Hand County, S.D.) 190?-19??, 1906-05-02

The Senate Thursday passed a joint
resolution appropriating $1,O00,000 for
the relief of the people of California, and
an emergency bill carrying $4,000 to pay
the expenses of bringing home the bodies
of the Kearsarge victims. Mr.. Bailey
made an explanation of the proceedings of
the Democratic caucus and Mr.. La Fol-
lette delivered the first half of an ex-
haustive speech on the rate bill. Mr.
Tillman and Mr.. Hopkins had another
spirited encounter concerning the Walsh
bank failure in Chicago, which was ended
by the presiding officer. The House voted
the appropriation of S1,O00,000 for tho
sufferers in San Francisco and other ruin
ed California cities and gave the Secre-
taries of War, Navy, Treasury and Com
MERGE power to cooperate with the au-
thorities of the stricken cities. Mr.. Will
liams, the minority leader, gave notice
that there would be no more legislation
except under the rules of the House or
special rule until the conferees on the
statehood bill had made a report. Several
speeches were made on the tariff.

In the Senate Friday Mr.. La Toilette
continued, but did not conclude his speech
on the rate bill. The appropriation for
the San Francisco sufferers was made
available for the purchase of medical sup
plies and steps were taken toward replac-
ing the public buildings by calling on the
Secretary of the Treasury to prepare an
estimate of the cost of new structures. A
serious alteration between Gen. Gros-
venor of Ohio and Frank Clark of Florida
was narrowly averted in the House
through the diplomacy of Mr.. Williams,
who had their language stricken from the
record. Before the trouble had been
smoothed over, however, Mr.. Clark made
a threat Of personal violence against Mr..
Grosvenor. Sixty-fve pages of the Dis
trict of Coumbis appropriation bill were
considered, and the national quarantaine
bill was sent to conference.
The Miller sun. (Miller, Hand County, S.D.) 190?-19??, 1906-05-02

In the Senate Saturday Mr.. Perkins
of California made Acknowledgements of the
cablegram from the Vice President of the
Brazilian Senate, expressing the sympa-
thy of that body for the sufferers in Cal
ifornia. He also acknowledged the debt
of gratitude due the government of the
United States, the people of the different
States and cities and the railroads for the
generous aid granted. On his motion the
Vice President was instructed to express
the Senate's appreciation. The remand
err of the day was devoted to eulogies on
the life of the late Senator 0ryille III.
Plat of Connecticut. In the House a joint
resolution making an additional appropri-
alton of $1000,000 for the relief of the
California sufferers was adopted. The
District of Columbia appropriation bill
was passed, as was another measure pro-
viding for the transportation of dutiable
merchandise without appraisement. The
message of the President citing the neces-
sty for an additional appropriation for
the California quake victims was laid
before the House.
The Miller sun. (Miller, Hand County, S.D.) 190?-19??, 1906-05-02

The Senate Monday increased to ST.
100000 the second appropriation of funds
for the San Francisco sufferers. Mr..
La Toilette concluded his three-day speech
on the rate bill, which is one of the long
est addresses in recent years in the SEN
ate. The following bills were passed !:
Providing for the organization of a dental
corps in the army; permitting the build
ing of dams across the north and south
branches of Rock river in Rock Island
county, Illinois. The conference report
on the bill providing for the election of a
delegate in Congress from Alaska was
adopted. Consideration of the Indian az
preparation bill was resumed. The House
concurred in the Senate amendment to the
joint resolution appropriating $1,50O,0OO
for the relief of the California sufferers
and spent the rest of the day in discuss
ing legislation affecting the District Of
Columbia.
The Senate spent almost the entire day
Tuesday in considering the Indian appro-
priation bill, and it had not been disposed
of when the session was closed The
House bill extending until 1909 the time
when the coastwise laws shall go into
effect between the United States and the
Philippines was passed. There was no
session of the House.

Letter to F. A. Thayer.
Oakland, Nd.

Dear Sir; Here's a 15-year yarn;
you like yarns, don't you? It comes
from Odell Hardware Co, Greensboro,
NC.
Mr. r G Glenn's house in that town
was painted Devoe about Is years ago.
and next, this year.
A house, neXt-door, was painted
about the same time with another paint,
supposed to be good. This house was
painted again about 5 years ago with
still another paint, that processes to be
extraordinary.
Glenn's house, before it was painted
just now, was in as good condition as
that one. Devoe IS years; the other
3 years-guess that's about how to put
it.
But this extraordinary paint is a
bluff; Devoe is the paint.
Yours truly

litical questions will more and more be
settled on their merits. Mr.. Taft in
closing said:
The effect of the change of the in
dustrial conditions in eliminating the
cry of negro domination from the poll
cies of the former slave-owning States
has manifested itself first in the border
States. West Virginia has become per-
manently Republican, and MARYLAND
and Missouri put themselves in the Re
publican column in the last Presidential
election, while Kentucky nearly brought
forth works meet for repentance in the
first Mckinley campaign. The Demo
cracy of the States farther South, how
ever, continues unbroken in national
elections.
THE question which should address
itself to the great business interests of
the South is how much longer the spec
tire of things past is to hold them to
political allegiance that does them no
good in national politics and deprives
their communities of the inestimabe
benefit of the presence in local politics
of two parties, each of which, if it does
wrong, has real chance of being pun
ished for its misconduct. The POSSIBLE
ity of chance of party control for such
a cause is the best security of good gov
eminent. Distinguished Southern Sen
ators, referring to the States of this
section, have deplored in Congress that
there are some 10 or II or more States
in the American Union which have not
a proper representative relation to this
Government through official representa-
tives in the higher spheres of political
life. If this is true, it is undoubtedly
due to the fact that the Southern people
have not manifested politically the same
enterprise, the same independence of
action, the same progressive spirit and
the same regard for future development
as they have in agricultural and in bust
ness. Had they kept up with the times,
had they at the ballot-box expressed
their real sentiments on the living issues
of the day, instead of allowing them
selves to be frightened by spectre and
a shadow of the past, their political i'm
portance as communities and the signi-
ticance of their views upon measures
and men would have been vastly en-
HANGED"

TAFT SPEAKS TO SOUTHERNERS

Secretary Of War Taft delivered
notable address before large meeting
of North Carolinians, at Greensboro.
last Monday at the Republican State
Convention and that it was held is am
pie evidence that the Republicans of
North Carolina are determined to wage
vigorous campaign and to drive home
to the good people of that State the
many strong reasons why North Caro-
lima and other Southern States should
send representatives to Congress in
sympathy with the policies that have
brought such large measure of pros
perity and happiness to the southland
as well as other sections of the United
States. Mr. Taft said the South had
been kept solid by the spectre of Negro
domination and by stirring up racia
preJudices and arousing unfounded
alarm over an impossible return to re-
construction days. He called attention
to the well-known sympathy of large
majority of Southerners with the policy
of the Republican administrations in
discharging the sacred trGst imposed
by the acquisition of the Philippines and
yet they had through their political
leaders been made to give unwilling
support to the false cry of anti-imperial-
ism. Her people favored the Panama
Canal but her representatives under
Mr.. Germans lead tried to block the
progress of the administration plans.
the contamination of which meant so
much to the South. No section of the
country has, on the whole, been more
benefited by the protective tariff than
the South, but the representatives in
Democratic conventions gladly give
their consent to the platform which de-
nounces it as robbery. There are MANY
signs that a new era is dawning for the
South. 1t is growing steadily more
prosperous. AS the years roll on the
old bitterness and prejudice that warps

GEO. C. STURGISS WAS VICTORIOUS
Defeated N. C. Kein in Fight For The
Congressional Nomination.

Returns from Republican primaries of
Mineral and Preston counties, W. Va,
held Saturday show that George c..
Sturgiss, backed by Senator Elkins for
Congress carried both. With counties
previously won, Sturgiss has more than
enough to nominate him over n. G.
Keim. The convention meets at Keyser.
August l. This is the old William L.
Wilson district now represented by
Thomas B. Davis, Democrat. With
Mr.. Keim also went down his friend, A.
R. Stallings, the popular attorney, of
Davis candidate for State Senator,
who, too lost both Mineral and Preston.
Sturgiss' majority in Preston county
is about 1900 in a total vote of thirty
five hundred. Forman's majority over
Stallings is about the same figure.
Sturgiss carried Mineral county by $50
while Forman's plurality in that county
is $50. About 1900 votes were cast in
Mineral. 1t is claimed by some that
the campaign of Sturgiss was aided by
his alliance with the tax reformers.
The successful opponent of Mr.. Stall
lings is L. J. Forman, of Grant county,
at present a member of the West Vir-
ginia senate. The vote at Ridgely, OPP
poslte Cumberland was, Keim, II; Stur-
giss, 16; Forman, &c; Stallings, 8.
A severe attack was made on Mr..
Sturgiss in the Preston county fight.
He was accused of being disloyal to Ais
ton G. Dayton when he was the nominee
for Congress in 1898, that not only did
he not vote but that he urged people on
the streets Of Morgantown not to vote.
The counties in the district that have
held primaries show the following re-
suits: Sturgiss, Preston, SO, votes;
Berkeley, Is; Grant, 10; Hampshire, Z;
Morgan, II; Monongalia, 80; Mineral,
Is; Keim, Barbour, 10; Hardy, 6; JEFF
ferson, 13; Randolph, 10. The follow
ing counties show divided vote: Pen
nington, Sturgiss, 4; Keim, 5; Tucker,
Stnrgiss, s; Keim, 10. TAYLOR county
votes next Saturday and is conceded to
Sturgiss. 1t requires 126 votes to nom

THE BRYAN BOOM.

The boom for Bryan goes on apace
and if this were Presidential year he
would probably be nominated third
time for the high office of Chief Execu-
tive, and that by reclamation. There is
abundance of time, however, for
the sober second thought, and level
headed Democrats will probably see
cause to revise their present views on
the subject before 1908.
Mr.. Bryan is, in some respects, a
great man. He is certainly a great
orator and has personal magnetism
well calculated to lead even level-head-
ed men away from safe political stan
dards while they are under its influence.
For that reason he is dangerous as
well as great man. He has been the
sponsor or advocate of theories in the
past OF character seriously detrimen-
tai to the welfare Of the country, theo-
ries utterly undemocratic yet which,
under his leadership, were adopted by
large portion of the Democratic
party.
Of these theories the heresy of free
silver, at l6 to l, was of course the
most prominent, though possibly not
the most dangerous. True, he is now
silent on that subject and the danger of
the adoption of his opinion seems past,
thanks to the sound financial doctrines
OF the Republican party which have
trlumphed over that, greenbackism and
other political heresies heretofore pro-
mulgated and advocated by the Demo-
cratic party. But Mr.. Bryan has not,
we believe, repudiated the doctrine of
free silver, though constrained to sub
NIT to its Reputation by the American
people. He is very tenacious of his
opinions and holds fast to them with
great pertinacity.
To judge, therefore, by his past his
tory, he is not safe man to entrust
with the executive authority of the
country and there are, without doubt,
many Democrats who hold that opinion
OF him. Doubtless, when the present
craze in his interest shall have become
exhausted, they viii be, heard from in
manner that may place an insurmount-
able obstacle in the way of his third
nomination. If otherwise, however,
and he shall again become the Demo-
cratic standard-bearer, the people may
be depended upon to make it a case Of
three times and out"
Strange to say, after the above was
written, MIR. Bryan, who is in London,
Eng, said yesterday that he still be-
lieves in bimetallism and that the res
toration of silver-of course at 16 to /
would bring still further prosperity.
And this is the man the Democrats are
not to make their candidate for Presi-
dent in 1903.

STATE ROAD WORK.

The Highway Division of the Mary
land Geological Survey has been active
ly engaged in making surveys and pre-
pairing plans and estimates for contem-
plated road improvements all over the
State, and is supervising large amount
of road improvement now under way.
The following stretches of road are now
under construction and in some in
stances nearing completion:
Allegany County-Three miles.
Baltimore County-Seven miles.
Carroll County-One and one-half
miles.
Frederick County Three miles.
Hartford County-Six miles.
Howard County-One mile.
Montgomery County-Five and one
half miles.
Washington County-Two miles.
Worcester County mile
Total 80 miles.
Perhaps it is well not to "despise the
day of small beginnings" even in a
matter of such Importance as public
road improvement, but it is very evil
dent that the people, of this county at
least, are not very favorable to the
plans Of the Geological Survey for road
making. The expense of constructing
and maintaining such highways as it

far beyond the approval of the taxpay-
ers. Good roads, generally, can be
maintained at much less expense, IN
der the supervision of competent road
engineer. The employment of such an
officer would be a measure of economy,
as it would insure the best results and
save waste of expenditures.
There are, doubtless, some roads in
the county on which it would be well to
follow the Surveys plans, and by which,
in the end, money would be saved.
There are points on the Grantsville
road, for instance, which probably can
not be made durable in any other way,
but it may be taken for granted that
centuries will pass before the highways
of the county will, as whole, conform
to the systdm proposed by the Road Di-
vision Of the Geological Survey.
Great improvement will result, how
ever, in the roads of the county through
the execution Of the law passed last
winter, is it shall be carried into effect
according to its manifest intent

KILLED IN Il WRECK.
Ten Dead and Thirty-seven Injured
at EnderIing, N. D.-Wreck-
age Burned.

st. Paul, Mimi, Dec. 24.-Loaded to
its full capacity with people going to
their homes in the East to spend the
Christmas holidays, the south bound
train on the Minneapolis, St. Paul and
Sault Ste Marie crashed into switch
yards at this place at 210 o'clock
Sunday morning. Eight men we're
killed outright and two since have
died of their injuries. Thirty-seven
were seriously injured and 1t is like
ly that the death list will be added
to. All of the fatalities occurred In
the smoking car which was COM
pletely telescoped by the baggage
car, and only two Of the occupants
of this car escaped injury. The car
was crowded and as the whistle had
just sounded for Enderlin almost
every one was on his feet when the
chash came and the dead and wound
ed we're piled into great heap with
the wreckage.
