Senators Are Counting Noses On
Railroad Rate Bill.
.ANkNEY and PILES IN R|GH1 COLUMN
SENATOR HEPBURN WILL PROB.
ABLY LINE UP WITH THE
RAILROAD FORCES.

AS soon as it is known with reason
able certainty how the senate stands
on the railroad rate question, a day
will be fixed for a vote on the Hep
burn Dolilver bill. At present writing
neither faction can count a sure ma
jority, and neither is confident Of car
rying the day. The railroad sena-
tors" say they can figure out almost
a majority, but they are dubious about
the few necessary votes to carry thep
to victory, so they will not consent
to fix day for the vote. The con-
tending faction is equally doubtful of
it's strength and is, therefore, willing
to let the debate run along until some
thing positive is known of the position
of at least a part of the doubtful sem
ators, is the report that comes from
the national capital.
Two polls Of the senate have recent
ly been made, one by a republican who
favors and advocates broad court
review; the other by democrat who
advocates the limited review amend
ment The former poll shows 81 for
limited review, % for unlimited re-
view, and % doubtful; the latter
counts Al for limited review, 26 for
unlimited review, and Fl doubtful
Their are, therefore, from Fl to 29
doubtful senators, more than enough
to swing the vote either way. And
it is with these twenty odd senators
that the leaders are concerning them
selves just now.

HAVE MORE TINE TO PROVE UP
Senator Piles Has Introduced a Bill in
Senate Relative to Land
Laws.

In order to prevent many forfeitures
of bona fide entries on desert land
claims near Pasco, Senator Piles has
introduced a bill in congress. extend
ing for three years the time when en-
trymen may prove up on their claims.
These lands were included in the Pa
louise irrigation withdrawal, which was
abandoned some time ago on the re-
port of the chief engineer of the recla-
nation service who reported adverse
ly on the feasibility of the Palouse
scheme. The legislation is necessary
to prevent many forfeitures of bona
fide entries. Many Walla Walla peo-
pie hold desert land claims in the
vicinity of Pasco and if the bill in
troduced by Senator Piles, becomes a
law they will have an additional three
years in which to obtain title to the
land.

the government, are not attracted by
the receipt of five cents worth of veg
etable seeds.
Whenever a measure Of public i'm
nortance is before congress for con-
sideration, interested parties find no
difficulty in securing countless sigma
lures from people, especially in coun-
try districts, for or against the meas
IRE. But the letters received from
persons opposed to the free distribu-
ton of seeds are not of this class. They
come from individuals and evidently
are spontaneous. One Of these was
received by Chairman Wadsworth
from one of the most prominent farm
ers in his district, and it reads as fol-
lows:
Through your courtesy, 1 am once
more in receipt Of a packet of seeds
from our Uncle Sans garden. Might
l ask you to see the dear old gentle
man and tell him that while appreciat-
ing his great kindness, think he had
better go out Of this seed distributing
business and use the money it costs in
some other way. I hope your
honorable body, by refusing to make
an appropriation, will do away with the
miserable practice Of giving away
seeds at the public expense. Be assur-
ed that you will have the hearty ap-
prevail of all sensible citizens"
This is only sample. Hundreds of
similar epistles have been received by
members from every section Of the
country and they come by every mail.
And so far as can be learned at this
time not a single protest, not a single
plea for the continuance of the free
seed graft has been received.
The majority Of the committee on
agriculture the secretary of agricul-
ture, the chief of the bureau of plant
industry and the president himself
oppose the continuance Of this waste
full and useless expenditure of money.
Next week it will be known whether
the house will stand by the commit
tee on agriculture or not.

WILL HONOR MEMORY OF GRANT
Americas Club Making Big Prepare
tions for Grant Day Banquet
in Washington City.

WASHINGTON, D. c., April 81
Unusually elaborate preparations have
been made for the twentieth annual
Grant Day banquet of the Americas
club in honor of Grants birthday,
which will take place this evening.
United States Senator P. c. Knox will
asst as POSTMASTER. Attorney General
Moody will be one of the principal
speakers, and Congressman James
Watson, of Indiana, will deliver the
address on the life and work of Cen
eral Grant. Among other prominent
speakers at the banquet will be J.
Hampton Moore, president of the Ma
tional League of Republican Clubs; j.
R. Wiggin, ex-president of the State
league; H. W. Kelly, secretary; ].
Shaw, treasurer; Deputy Attorney
General Fred Fleitz; the Hon. E. A.
Sissoms, of Erie; State Senator J. S.
Fisher; Mayor A. T. Scranton and j.
w. Carson, of Beaver Falls.
The American club, which started
in 1884 as a marching club, was so
much Of a success that the members
kept it up after the campaign was
over. The club began to celebrate
General Grants birthday in 1886, and
has done so annually with great sue
cess. The club now has a membership
of 1,450.

Jefferson's PAINTINGS to Be Sold.

NEW YORK, April 27-An event
which will attract a large number OF
art lovers and members of the theatre
cal profession, will be the auction sale
of the picture collection of Joseph JEFF
fersOn, which will be held at Mensels-
sohn hall this evening. The picture col
lection, which contains many valuable
art treasures, has been on exhibition
at the American Art galleries for a
week. Mr.. jefferson had chosen pic
lures to please himself for many years,
and his collection has a great deal of
individual interest, aside from the in
trinsic value of the pictures as works
Of art.

McLaurin, Money and Taliaferro in the
list Of those favoring limited court re-
view, lists Napkins, Willard and Nixon
doubtful, and places Gallinger among
those favoring unlimited review.
While these polls cannot be consid-
cred accurate. they in general way
show the lineup Of the senate so far
as can be ascertained, and it is evil
dent that neither side can count on
enough votes to insure it's success.
Naturally the advocates of unlimit-
ed review claim enough of the doubt
full votes to give them the majority;
the same claim is set up by the other
side, but the disinclination Of either to
have vote for fixing a day for vote
is evidence conclusive that neither is
confident it can win.
The foregoing polls contain one
manifest error; on both lists Senator
Hepburn is classed as doubtful. His
recent speeches and the amendments
he has proposed clearly put him among
the advocates of a broad court review.
The next few days will probably show
where other doubtful senators stand.
Northwest Senators.
With the exception of Senator Hey
burn, it is believed that every senator
in the northwest will vote for the Hep
burn railroad rate bill with limited
court review amendment; in other
words, the northwestern senator's, with
this one exception, stand with the
president on the rate issue. Senator
Hepburn is the author and advocate
of the broadcast court review amend
ment yet proposed, and he is therefore
believed to be lined up against the
president.
Senator Dubois, the only democrat
from the northwest, except Senator
Gearin, is an out and out advocate of
the Hepburn bill in the form approx
ed by the president. He has made no
speech on this subject, but has had
frequent conferences with the pfesi-
dent and has been an intermediary
between the White House and the mi
nority of the senate.
Twice Senator Fulton has spoken in
advocacy of the Hepburn bill in it's
present form, and while he would pre-
fer the bill without any amendment,
yet he will not oppose limited re-
view amendment if it is properly word
ed. His colleague, Senator Gearin, has
made and probably will make no
speech on the rate bill, but his position
is known and he is counted on the side
of the president
Piles and Ankeny.
The Washington senators have not
participated in the rate bill discus
sion to any marked degree, but Sena-
tor Piles has from the first been a close
follower Of the president on this and
other topics, and it is known where
he will be found when the vote is ia
ken. Senator Ankeny is equally GER
tain to support the administration
bill.
This leaves Senator Hepburn out in
the cold; he stands with Aldrich Kean

Rule Of the Turk Nearly over.

The Turk really seems to be max
ing his last stand in Europe. That
has been said before, we know, and
the saying has not been justified.
But an end of an evil thing is some
time Inevitable. and every year that
passes surely brings it nearer. Turk
ish rule in Europe has long been hope
lessly bad. Piece by piece it has
fallen or has been torn apart until
now only a remnant is left, in which
the Turks themselves are small mi
nority, and that remnant is beset on
every hand with a determined aggres-
sion which presages its complete de-
sruction in the not distant future.
Moreover, The Turkish empire in Asia.
the stay and bulwark of the European
part of the realm, is also now involved
in serious trouble in several quarters
and is threatened with much loss, In
every quarter, indeed, north, south,
east and west, the Turk is beset with
difficulties and menaces, so that it
seems that there is little left brit for
him to kneel on his prayer rug and
perish as becomes the faithful.-New
York Tribune.

cally. Although certain cause may
work through slowly modifying con-
ditions, the final results of these
causes may be sudden, as when q
slow increased in temperature brings
about an explosion
The fact of the variation of ami
cal species in space and time is as
clear as the light of the sun, but we
must not forget that the causes which
regulate this variation are still very
obscure, since the mere fact of time
does not suffice to produce all of the
variations observed by us in the pres
ent or the past geological ages Ac-
cording to Charles Darwin himself,
time simply operated TO add to the
probability of the manifestation or
advantageous variations which were
selected, accumulated, and made per-
manent in relation to the organic con-
ditions of life which themselves SLOWLY
vary. But although the time element
favors the directing action of the new
and modified conditions of life, fossils
clearly show us that, many species
have periods of constancy and invarl.
ability. Therefore, we come to the idea
OF JAEGER and Seidlitz, that the com,
plete adoption of all the organs to the
temporary conditions of life may
modify the action of the organism,
without however modifying the organ.
ism itself Also this brings us to the
theory of Giovanni Canestrina of
conservative adoption. These theories
are both demonstrable of we consider
certain number of fossils belonging
TO the different animal groups The
main point, however is that all these
facts clearly prove to George Darwin
that in the animal world there is no
fixed law of modification, not even
for the same type"

would lose something Of their strange

POWER OF TRUTH.
Newspapers Influence Measured by
Its Accuracy In the News.

Newspapers Influence Measured by
Its Accuracy In the News.
The power OF the press to mold pub.
lie opinion has often been spoken of.
Papers have been read before public
assemblages, and orators have spoken
in beautiful language. all telling of
what is briefly termed "the power oil
the press" Indeed, newspapers them
selves have not been slow to present
information and arguments along that
line that would tend to confirm the
view that the press is mighty force.
Yet today, while there are many
newspapers whose editorial utterances
are regarded by the pubic, there are
also many papers whose utterances
are disregarded. Fifty years ago the
news features of today's newspapers
were almost unknown, and the edito.
rial utterance was the chief claim for
patronage. The editor did large
part Of the thinking for the community
because perhaps through the Other
papers received at his Office he was
generally believed to be in closer
touch with the great world than almost
any other citizen. And so we had the
power Of the press.
But times have changed, and news.
papers have also changed. Today
people still want to know what the
editor thinks, but first and foremost
they want the news--the facts, the
truth. The power of the press is
only maintained when the truth stands
pre-eminent. The press is not power
ful If the people do not believe in the
press or If the press has mfsled the
people in the past--Zanesville (O)

etiquette at
the telephone

When you take off your receiver re-
member that there is human being
who answers to the call of Central
and she never fails to respond more
quickly to Please She also learns
to know your voice If you have a pri-
yate phone, and AN occasional Good
morning is appreciated in her rou-
tine work more than you can imagine.
On the other hand do not try to
burden this same Central" with too
many of your personal secrets. No
matter how busy she may be there is
always a chance of her catching some
of your conversation, and if you value
your intimate affairs you will reserve
them for the mail or face to face con-
fab
Having obtained the party called,
make sure to whom you are speaking.
Never trust your ears when it comes
to sounds over the phone. In nine
cases out of ten you can be mistaken
in voices which vibrate over long or
short distance wire, so it will pay you
to always repeat the number asked for
when you hear the answering Hello"
If you have ever been called unex-
pectedly or by some party who was
farthest from your thoughts. you will
know how perfectly at sea a person
feels at such time. Hence II is man.
ifestly unfair to announce who you
are and then expect the person at the
other end of the wire to carry on the
conversation
Ii you are giving an invitation over
the phone make it in such a way that
he invited one will not be Obliged to
abruptly refuse or accept. The story
of the girl who asked a man to din
ner is very apt illustration of the EN-.
barrassment which may result from an
insistent invitation over wire. He
refused for Monday night, then for
Tuesday, and then for Wednesday.
Finally, when the girl asked him for
Thursdays dinner, he replied impa.
tiently: well, I'll come Monday"
