TILLMAN IS LOADED
Mr. STILLMAN WRITES OF FAMOUS
SENATORS.
Also Has Something TO Say About Presi
DENTAL Candidates, New Office Build.
ing. and Other Matters Of Pub.
lie Interest.

Washington, ID. c., Jan. l1.-Spe-
that Senator Tillman is loaded and
primed for early and numerous broad
sihes either that or else he is not in
good physical trim. Ordinarily. out
side the senate chamber he wears
smile or at least good natured ex-
preston, but this is lacking so far
this session. He looks as though he
felt edgewise, and l believe he does.
The session started off badly for him.
For instance on the second day, which
was the first day any routine bust
ness" as the Introduction of bills,
resolutions and petitions is termed,
was transacted, after the reading
clerk had droned away for an hour
reading the titles to pension bills,
etc.. Senator Tillman arose and sug-
gested that senators defer the intro
duction of such measures until after
the morning hour"-two o'clock in
the afterno on-when according to the
rules of the senate such bills NAV be
introduced without their having to be
read by the clerk. The bills so in
troduced are printed in the record,
and have the same status as though
read by title by the clerk, and great
deal Ct time is saved
Nobody paid any attention TO Till
mans suggestion. and senators con-
timed to send up big armfuls of pen
sion and claim bills to the clerks
desk. After while Tillman again
rose and restated his suggestion that
senators hold their pension bills until
after 2 O'Clock, and then dump them
all IN at once. Tillman said this
would save time and would serve the
same purpose. as nobody in the cham
ber was interested in the bills, any
way.
Following this suggestion came fur
ther avalanche of bills, and the clerk
continued to drone away for another
hour. Nobody had apparently heard.
or at least they had paid no heed to
Tillman's remarks and he was hot.
He took it as an affront; as slap in
the face; particularly when Latimer.
his own colleague, soon sent up
batch of about hundred bills. l was
face was scarlet and he looked as
though he could bite nail in half.
l don't know why the members ig-
nored his request. 1t was reasonable
suggestion and one in the interest of
business. Not only that, but it ir-
ritated Tillman. and he will get even
with the senate before the session is
very much older.

Members of the house who, as chair
men of important committees, are not
already well roomed" in the capitol
building. are getting settled in the
new House office building situated
about 800 feet to the southeast of the
house end of the capitol. While it is
a fact that the capitol building was
very small and afforded cramped
quarters for the large membership.
the members were kept within the
building and were near at hand, either
i'll neighboring committee looms, in
lobbies or smoking rooms. and could
be summoned quickly To vote or par
ticipate in debate. The house and
senate buildings, the latter to be fin
ished in another year. are pronounced
the most magnificent combination OF
club house and business establishment
in the world, enormous in size. giving
suite to every congressman and
senator, and connected with the
capitol by an underground railway
on which the cutest little electric
trains imaginable will be run. The
Office buildings are so enormous that
two or three stations will be provided
under each, for stopping trains, with
elevators at hand.
But will statesmen find the new ar
rangements useful? Congress will be
scattered from one end of Capitol Hill
to the other, distance o. third of
mile. 1t has always been hard
enough to secure decent attendance
in either House. members spending so
much time in their committee rooms
with correspondence. etc. With the
working surface so vastly extended,
there is grave doubt whether business
will not be greatly jmpeded and at
tendance interfered with.
There will be the most perfect pos.
sible telephone service and electric
calls and a scheme is under considera-
tion to install service that will, by
combination of telephone and gra-
phophOne. enable every member to
turn switch and listen to the entire
proceedings of either chamber without
leaving his room. But wouldn't that
make it harder than ever to get states
men to the chambers? The doubters
fear it would, and increasing numbers
of them freely predict that the Office
buildings will soon be recognized as
nuisances, and ultimately be abandon
ed.

A large proportion of sightseers who
come to the senate galleries, clamor
to have Senators Platt and Depew, of
New York. pointed out to them.
This is not because of the power or
influence these senators WELD, but on
account of curiosity; because each has
been in the public eye; one in connec-
tion with marital troubles. and the
other in connection with the insurance
scandals. 1t is doubtful if senators
Platt and Depew are consulted with
reference TO the important plans and
policies of the senate or the admins
tration. l have never heard Senator
Platt say word in the senate except
TO go through the form required in in
Producing a bill or petition. Senator
Depew sits silent, twirling his thumbs.
The famous after-dinner speaker
whose name was upon everybody's lips
and who was a prominent candidate
for the presidency score or so years
ago, sits in his seat in che senate, a
sad and broke en-hearted man, his eyes
wandering here and there almost de-
serted like an old horse turned out to
pasture. He may not deserve this fate.
but he is suffering it.
Senator Platt is frequently in his
seat. but leaves soon after he has in
troduced what papers he has, and
then goes to his cOmmittee-room and
is seen no more. He is pitiably feeble
and it is painful to see him enter the
chamber He has an affiiction which
has deprived him of control of his
legs. He may take a few steps in a
hating manner, then he loses his grip

Congressman G.. N. Haugen of this

question of his candidacy for governor
by announcing that he will not be a
candidate under any circumstances.
Although we would be glad to see
him governor we believe it is wise
decision. Every indication points to
his continuation as congressman as
long as he is willing to serve, and it
is not at all improbable that some day
he will be advanced to the senate.

This week an advertisement appear
ed in a Washington daily paper that

in Iowa and others who may not be

The advertisement offered for sale a
farm of 20S acres. situated within 20
miles of Washington, and within ON ;
quarter of mile of the railway sta
tion, fair buildings, fenced, 100 acres
timber or wooded. for the stupendous
sum of $l.040. or 50 an acre for the
farm. Think of land so near the
National Capitol that man standing
upon it can see the dome of the capi-
tol building, offered at $5 an acre.
While this is the lowest price l have
seen land quoted for hereabouts, it is
not uncommon to see farms offered at
from $40 % SO an acre quite near
Washington. OF course the land is
not Iowa soil to begin with and then
it has been worn out. However am
told that it is possible to restore tile
soil to a reasonable degree of fertility
in comparatively short time. Z
