President Informs the Senate.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 1.-THE p:esl-
dents message in regard to the
discharge OF three companies of the
T~wenty-Fifth infantry was sent to the
senate today. MIR Roosevelt 10 his
message defends his action in dis
charging the negro troops, saying it
would be absolutely impossible to
preserve army discipline by pursuing
any other course. To justify his ac-
ton he submits reports from Major
Blocksom and Assistant Attorney
General Purdy, giving the results of
the exhaustive investigation they con.
Quoted at Brownsville on the presi-
dents order.
The president with his message sub.
mits maps with diagrams and photo.
graphs designed to aid the senate in
reaching an in,elligen. understanding
of the situation, also employs shells
and bullets from Springfield rifles.
"My evidence says the message,
''proves beyond the possibility of q
doubt that some individuals among
the colored troops l have dismissed
committed these outrages and tina,
others had knowledge and shielded
the guilty from the law"

The Legislature and Its Clerks.
Great Falls Leader.

Great Falls Leader.
The republicans of the legislature be.
ing In the majority should see to it
that useless clerks are mol employed.
The employment of clerks for whom
there is no use by the various legis.
lative bodies of Montana has become
so customary that it has ceased even
to even be regarded as out Of the way.
No n party is to blame in the mat.
ter. When the democrats have had
control. they have hired dozens of
useless clerks. and when the republic
cans have had control they have done
the same thing.
Each succeeding body starts out
with the declared intention oftlimiting
expenditures in this direction. but the
opportunities of the place-hunters and
their friends generally overcome the
good intentions of the members and
they find u place for this, that or the
other person who desires it, and to a
very large extent simply because the
place is desired.
At u time when the whole country is
conducting Il campaign against graft
this petty graft ought to be stopped,
for it is y graft.
Every dollar of the taxpayers
money that is expended u~selessly Is a
graft upon the taxpayers and We think
that no one will deny, even the men,
bers OF the past legislatures which
have permitted the employment Of Use
less clerks, that q good many salaries
paid during each legislative session
are unnecessary.
No one wants the legislature hamp.
cred in it's work by the lack Of COM
petent clerks and stenographers, but
whenlthese are so numerous that they
fall over each other trying to keep GU,
Of the way of the members themselves,
then their employment is a wrong to
those who have to pay the salaries.
This session of the legislature should
make a record in this particular. and
il it will do so the effect will not be
felt only for this year bu, for a good
many succeeding legislatures.

Tenth Session Will Be Busy.

HELENA, Jan. l2.-Only a handful
of Legislators remained in Town to-
day, most of those able to do so leav-
ing for their homes during the recess.
Several more wanted to leave, but the
delayed trains made it impossible for
them to get ont of town in season to
repay them for their trouble. Affairs
about the capitol were quiet today,
and there were few visitors. The
tenth session has accomplished much
during the week, more for al opening
week than has been recorded in years.
Both the house and the senate will
convene Monday with all committees
appointed and everything in shape
for the rapid dispatch Of business.
With the senatorial contest out of
the way in the first week of the ses-
sion. a remarkable achievement. and
with all details of both houses ia such
shape as to permit Of immediat legis.
lation, the present session is so far
rather encouraging.
In a brief talk with Speaker King
today that gentleman stated his inten-
tson to economic and expedite as far
as possible the business Of the house.
MIR. King said he proposed to try to
influence members to be careful in
their introduction of bills that are
doomed to defeat. Too many mem.
bers are inclined, Mr.. King thinks, to
introduce measures upon the request
Of friends, that have not the slightest
chance OF passing the house, and are,
in fact, measures without reason.
Another item that will be headed
off, If possible, by the speaker, is tn at
of clerkships. Already there has been
what seems to be a desire to 60 to ex.
tremes in this matter, but Mr.. King
says he will try TO discourage the ap.
pointing Of a clerk for every COM
mittee, for, as he expresses it. the
duties Of the clerk on some committees
will be finished in a few days. while
the remainder Of the time there is
nothing for them to do but draw sal.
aries from the state.

Spokane Wants Lower Rates.

SPOKANE, Jan. 14.--A battle over
freight rates, the result of which may
affect wholesale centers all over the
nation, began this morning before In.
terstate Commerce Commissioners
Charles A. Prouty and Franklin K.
Lane. 1t is the suit of the city of
Spokane, the Chamber of Commerce
and the Spokane Jobbers' association
against the Great Northern, the
Northern Pacific, the Oregon Railway
& Navigation company and allied
railways.
The complaint charges unjust dis.
elimination in freight rates, and that
rates on goods shipped from eastern
points TO Spokane are based on the
through rate from the east to the Pa.
ciict coast, plus the return rate from
the coast to Spokane. The shippers
of this city contend that it is unjust to
charge more 10 haul goods to this city
than to haul them through Spokane
aud 400 miles further t the coast.
The railroads and the wholesale
dealer, Of the coast cities contend that
the railroad 1T is justified by the
danger hat water competition would
throw the traffic to steamer lines If the
roads charged higher rates. 1t is also
contended that to adopt the principle
of requiring rates from the interior
points to Spokane to be equal TO or
less than the rates to the coast might
revolutionize the jobbing trade all
over the country, the system of giving
lower rates to coast cities being gen.
eral.

"The sunflower," said q naturalist
'is the most deceitful of all plants, for

six nations believe that the sun.
flower turns toward the sun, and so
thoroughly are they deluded they call
it by name which bears witness to
their error.
Thus the French call the sunfower

The Italians call 1t girasole. The Hun
garians call 1t naptaforgo. Each OF
these words means turn to the sun
The English and Americans don't &c
quite that far in admitting themselves
to be the plants dupes. They only call
it sunflower. They mean by that
name, though, quite as much as the
other names imply. The BELIEF is gen
eral among six nations that the sun
flower turns with the sun and always
faces the laminary.
"As a matter Of fact, there Is only
one flower that turns or keeps with
the sun, namely, the sun spurge."
