PASSES ARE LACKING.
Cause Of Absence Of Congressman
From the CITY.

The strange absence of senator's and
representatives from this city during the
last summer has caused a great deal of
speculation concerning the motives that
have prevented them from making their
customary visits to the capital to look
personally after the interests of their
constituents The fact that they haven't
been here as usual since Congress adj
journed is not to be disputed Formerly
they were in evidence on the streets and
elsewhere from time to time Their names
appeared on the hotel registers. They
would drop in for two or three DAYS at a
time. sometimes for merely a few hours.
They would make a round of the depart-
mentS and personally look into matters
that interested them. Now they Gepend
upon the mails to keep in touch with de-
partmental work.
The reason for this change in methods
is universally acknowledged to be the
absence of free railroad passes. which.
previous to the passage of the rate bill.
were had for the mere asking nv every
senator or representative over any and all
railroads of the United States. 1t was an
easy matter formerly for member to
run down to this city several times dur
ing the recess of Congress- 1t was a
pleasant thing to do. Now that the trip
costs money 1t has been discontinued
very largely. One can search the hotel
registers and look about the streets for
members and seldom find one of them in
town.
