NATIONAL POLITICS
OUR WASHINGTON CORRES-
PONDENT'S VIEWS

1t has often been said that when
a party remains too long in power
it becomes permeated with graft
and recent events in the national
legislature would seem to confirm
that assertion at least so far as the
Congress is concerned. Peculiarly,
too, the evils which have recently
been exposed affect only the House
but there they come perilohsly
near the Republican leaders.
For instance, Representative
Hobson, he who as an officer of
the Navy won fame in Santiago
harbor where he sunk the Merri-
mac in an effort to pen the Spanish
fleet has testified in the submarine
boat investigation that a lobbyist
of that company offered to go to
Mr.. Cannon and now have him APP
point Mr.. Hobson on the Naval
Affairs committee Mr.. Hobson
was asked by the committee, which
is not disposed to probe this
matter too deeply, if he did not
know that the Democratic leader
named the minority members of
the committees, but he replied that
he did not know that such was the
invariable rule, in fact he knew of
cases where the Speaker had desig-
mated the Democrats he wished APP
pointed to certain committees.
Mr.. Hobson refused the influence
of the boat company but secured
the appointment through John
Sharp Williams, the minority
leader.
Another affair which is regarded
as likely to reveal all unsavory
condition of affairs concerns the
deciding of land to one Sidney
Bieber, said to be a protege of
Speaker Cannon, who has recently
been engaged i'll trying to capture
the District of Columbia delegates
to the Republican Convention for
Mr.. Cannon. By special and
peculiar enactments Bieber has
almost secured title to twenty acres
of very valuable government land
in the District, including, it is
claimed, a part of the historic Con-
gressional Cemetary. To a part of
this land Bieber has secured abso-
lutte title, but the Secretary of War
became suspicious of the last law
and held it up until Congress could
again assemble. Senator Carter
however, learned of the facts from
the Pennsylvania Railroad with
which, as chairman of a subcom-
mittee of the Senate he was trying
to arrange for the abolition of the
last surface track in the city of
and he exposed the
matter in the Senate, which
promptly passed all act which re-
pealed the law granting title to
Bieber. The House seems dis
posed to take the ground that there
is nothing irregular in its giving
titles to Bieber and at the same
time to hush the matter up, power
full influence being exerted to keep
The matter out of the newspapers
In fact, the first day that it came
Up, when Carter made exposure
n the Senate, the Associated Press
tent out nothing of it to its numer-
'us papers.
A report of the effect that the
President purposes to send to Con
yress another message calling at
ention to various measures which
lie has recommended and on which
Congress has taken no action has
lriven the Republicans into a rage
t is not known positively if the
President will send such message
,ut the mere threat may serve to

SUNDAY MAGAZINE FOR JULY 20. 1905

SUNDAY MAGAAlNE fON JOL1 20 iSOo
The room had been stricken dumb The dancers
stopped dead with tense, Inquir1ng looks, and the
p1aintive whine of the orchestra, far away faered
then ceased. There one brief instant OF utter
silence in which white faced women chung to the
arms of their escorts and the brilliant galaxy OF
colors halted, Then, after moment, there came
clearly through the Stiffness the excited, cultural
command of the German Ambassador:
Keep on blaying, YOU foolsi Keep on blay1ng!
The orchestra started again tremulOuSly. Grimm
nodded a silent approval OF the Ambassadors com
rnand then moved away toward his left IN the
direction of the shot After the first dsmay, there
was general movement of the crowd in that d1rec-
ton; a movement that was checked by Campbell
appearance a chair, with smile on his bland face
No harm done he called. One of the officers
present dropped his revolver and it accidentally
discharged. No harm done
THERE was a moments excited chatter, deep
drawn breaths of relief, the orchestra swung
again into the interrupted rhythm, and the dancers
moved on. Grimm went straight to his chief, who
had stepped down out of the chair Two other
Secret Service men stood behind him, blocking the
door into a narrow hall
Grimm walked along beside him. They skirted
the end of the ball until they came to another
door opening into the hall Chief Campbell pushed
it insds. 4Rsn ana entered o'S 0' HIS '''' '
What was it, Gray?" asked the chief
"Se1or Alvarez of the Mexican Legation was
shot, was the reply
Dead?
"Only wounded He's in that room, and he
indicated a door just step down the hallway
Fairchild, two servants and physician are with
him"
Who shot him.
Don't know We found him lying in the hall"
Still followed by Grimm, the chief entered the
roOm and together they bent over the wounded
man The bullet. evidently intended for the heart,
had entered the torso just below the ribs on the
left side.
Its clean wound" the physician explained
The bullet passed through There's no great
danger.
Alvarez opened his eyes, and stared about him
in bewildernent; then vast alarm Overspread
his face. and he made spasmodic efforts to reach
the inside breast pocket of his coat. Grimm Oblg-
ingy thrust his hand into the pocket and drew out
its contents, while the Mexican Minister struggled
franticay.
Just moment" Grimm advised quietingly
I'm only going to let YOU if 1t is here Is It
He held the papers. one by one, in front of the
wounded man, and each time Il shake of the head
his answer. vt the last Alvarez closed his
ewes again.
What sort of paper was it?" inquired Grimm.
None of your business came the curt answer
Who shot you?
. None of Your business,
A MANI
Alvarez was silent,

Still silence

R E Nj E M B E R
By Frances Aymar Mathews

When over your head the bright blue sky
Seems in its JOY 10 mock your CRY:
When even the sunshine scars and sears
AMI the buehiri'S song seems echo of tears:
When sorrow and YOU SIT down alone
And the dole OF bread turns out to be stone:
When all OF your loves, your hopes and appeals
Shiver in pieces on Life'S sharp Wheels
Remember my soul, though tied TO a stake
Remember my heart, though like TO break
Up at the head Of the heavenly stairs.
Christ He listens. and Christ. He cares.
