now IT. SEEMS TO ONE DEMOCRAT

Roy Dowdell, editor of the Letuhel
Gov, Lees oil Inspector of savory rep
ntation and at present the democratic
candidate for congressman, has the
following to say, from the standpoint oil
an outsider, on the republican family
row:
THE stalwarts and Insurgents are
certainly Ia battle arrayed and awfuliy
divided on many questions principle
and policy. And then to think OF
The two factions getting together in
harmony later on is something pre-
pos,erous 10 contemplate. Ii such Is
done man has to sacrifice his beliefs
for the results for Office No one can
commend this sort al principle. The
stand of the insurgents, while fathered
by the democratic party, seemed good
to us and though hrot up ia a demo
cratic hume we have been listening To
the ideas now eXpounded by the in
surgenls for 10 these many years-hs
long as memory serves-And 40
elasticity is needed TO support either
the insurgent element or the demo
cratic party. But the thought OF hav-
ing 10 give up these principles and to
become republican under stalwari
regime is the sickening dose that no
one can down"

of the conspicuous leaders In Congress To
resist all pressure for transfer 70 an

was more than once urged TO enter the
Cabinet But he petsstently declined
such Invitations, on the ground that
legislative work suited i'm better and
offered q better scope for his abilities
than the management OF department.
In this he was right, and he was also
foresighted In appreciating the In
creased power which the Senator has
been gaining and the greater stability
and security OF a Senator'S career
compared with that of an executive
officer.

Our Cemetery In Mexico.

Though very few people are aware
OF the fact said an army officer the
other day, 1.-The United States govern
ment owns and maintains a national
cemetery in Mexico. 1t Is located at
San Cosme, near the City Of Mexico,
and was purchased and established in
the year 1850 for the purpose of In
terring the remains of the soldiers OF
the United States who died or were
killed In that vicinity during the wal
with Mexico, and also for the purpose
Of interring the bodies OF citizens OF
the United States who have died IL
that vicinity since that period. The
existence of this cemetery was forci
bly, recalled to the minds of the officers
of the war department recently by the
receipt of requisition from the su
perintendent amounting to $40 for the
payment to the government OF Mexico
for expenses incurred in connecting the
cemetery with the sewer system of the
city Washington Star.

Serious Fer the Middirs.

The question of graduating expenses
has become an increasingly serious one
to midshipmen at Annapolis. La a let,
ter to friend one OF the members of
the class of 80 which is soon TO be
graduated, writes: II bad no idea that
graduating was so expensive. ! have
just ordered my necessary outfit 1t
cost $1,000. and there are still incl
dental expenses to be met IN connec-
tion with my graduation which will
amount to several hundred more.
Many of my classmates tell ME thai
their bills are even heavier, and l think
only few of the members of the class
have been able to save much from
their salaries to anticipate these bills
We are all wondering how we are go
ing to meet them" Under the regu-
lations of the Naval academy the pay
master reserves 81 from the salary Of
each midshipman each month In order
that he may have IAN amount availa,

This provides however, only little
over $500 at the end OF the four year

TH,RTY-Flys YRARs A SENATOR

William B. Allison, senior United
on Monday his seventy ninth birthday,
and Tuesday the completion OF his
thirty fifth year of continuous service
in the upper branch of Congress. No
other A merican statesman ha. served
20 long continuously In eitner the
House of Representatives, or The
Senate. Benton's tenure OF thirty
years in the Senate used To be con-
sidered unique. In the earlier days of
Senate had fewer attractions politically
Than it has now. Ii was not unusual
in the pre- Jacksonian era for a po-
litical leader to relinqtish seat in the
upper house To accept the Governor
ship of state, and until within the
last twenty-five years i Was considered
normal promotion to pass from the
Senate into the Cabinet. Many
Secretaries of State-among them
Calhoon, Webster, Seward, Blaine,
Bayard and Sherman-left the egisla-
tive branch to direct the country 5
foreign relations, and Fessenden. Sher-
man, Window and Carlisle resigned to
accept the Secretaryship OF the Treas
TRY. Others, including Cameron,
Lamar, Garland and Teller, were
transferred to Cabinet posts of relative
~ minor importance.
This tradition OF transfer and promo
ton had much to do with breaking
the terms of service of Senators before
the war and even we'll up into the 70's
and sos. Another cause of interrup-
tions was the constant huctuation oil
party power in many states. Since
the war political conditions have be-
come far more stable, Tor the sectional
issue soliditied the South and made
the greater part OF the North almosl
fxedly Republican. Terms of service
in the Senate have therefore been

Delightful Japanese Hotels.

Barring the bath and perhaps the
beds, Japanese hotels are delightful.
All during your stay In their spotless
precincts you are made to feel that you
are an honored guest Japanese Ell
quette is lavished upon you, and when
you depart you are always given a
token to remember your visit, usually
white, coarse cotton towel with blue
pictures printed on it. You must thank
the little maid for this with an elab-
crate bow when You go, and the
chorus OF "Sayo Naras" from all the
hotel force gathered in the doorway
will seem to have in 1t not only the re-
greet of goodby as we interpret the
words, but the deeper feeling which
they really mean, If it must be that
we must part. Travel Magazine.

MAGNIFICENT war feet now on dress

"Not one American steamship oil
any kind now runs TO Braz or Arge

mail service to these southern cOun-

one American steamship now runs from

to both of these continents must be
created from the Very beginning" ~
Las, March there were fifteen Amer lean
steamships plying across the Pacific

The shipping bill of last Congress was
defeated, almost one half of our feeble
American Pacific naval reserve has
Disappeared and when Admiral Evans
