Washington, Oct. 17.-(SpeciaD
The lavish manner III which Uncle
Sam has looked after the personal
comforts of the members of the two
houses of congress will surpass the
widest dreams of the most extrava-
CANT members constituency, after
the two office buildings now rapidly
approaching completion, have been
occupied. OF course, 1t is to be ex-
pectei that a shade more of exclus-
iveness and elegance will pervade the
sacred haunts of United States Sen
ators than is to be found among the
members who must return to their
people every two years for popular
approval. When these two build
ings have been completed, the life of
a congressman, If he cal forget the
struggles of home campaigns and
the demands of his people, will be
one long siesta of luxuriant ease.
These two buildings are of marble
beautifully ornamented and fitted
up in the most artistic fashion, re-
igardless OF what the fittings may
have cost. Each member and SEN
ator will have his own private office
and the more important members
will have suites of rooms, although
every member of the house will have
his public and private office. The
tiled floors will be oyerlaid with ex-
pensiye rugs, and on the walls will
hang paintings that would adorn any
drawing room. For night work the
illumination will be supplied with
electricity, the chandeliers and wall
brackets being the most artistic de-
signs imaginable. The furniture of
IL. l,A Of
best grade of mahogany, nothing so
vulgar as birdseye maple or quarter
sawed oak being permitted in these
magnificent abodes.
In each building there will be pri-
vate dining rooms, barber shops,
swimming pools, Turkish baths, mas
sage parlors and every convenience
that will add to the health or pleas
ure of the member. At each Office
there will be a messenger whose duty
1t will be to wait on the orders of
his chief and keep intrusive constitu-
ents from encroaching on the busy
congressman or disturbing his lux
uriant rest. Everything that can be
done to make life easy will be provi-
ded at government expense, includ-
ing the pomades, perfumes and toll
ct waters that sweeten the congrs-
sional bath.
After each member has arrayed
himself thus in purple and fine linen
for the arduous days work, or re-
'freshed himself after unceasinng la
Dor in behalf of mis- constituenta
and he wishes to so to the capitol
he merely walks to an elevator,
descends to the basement floor, en-
ters little electric car, and is
whirled to the capitol through an
underground tube, ascends in another
elevator and walks into the chamber.
1t will be the easiest matter imag-
iLable for the member to avoid, those
whom he may wish to avoid. and it
Will be impossible for those seek
ing federal influence or patronage to
annoy any member of congress who
does not care to listen to appeals
for aid.

must change. The nation must pro-
gress and develop.
Need Not BE Uniform.
Tariff revision does not mean a
uniform reduction of duties. Some
of the rates should unquestionably be
reduced. Others may be found which
should be increased. | may use the
steel and iron schedule to illustrate
my views. | think that when, our
products can be sold abroad at prices
below the rates of duty imposed upon
similar products when imported.
prima .facie evidence is at hand to
warrant congress in inquirins whether
the rates are not too high. Should
commission be created there would
be no industrial and business derange-
ment as we now experience when
tariff revision is impending"
Analysing Bullets.
The report of the senate committee
on military affairs as to its findings
in the Brownsville investigation will
be delayed until more of the bullets
found at Brownsville can be analyZed.
The matter hinges on the analysis
showing whether or not there were
distinct quantities of antimony in the
bullets.
