Swiss Naval Wars.

References to the Swiss navy are
usually ocular. but 1t is none the less
fact that ships of war once hoated
and even fought on the waters Of the
lake of Geneva. The great feet was
that of the Duke of Savoy, who at the
beginning Of the fourteenth century
maintained a number of war galleys
armed with rams and protected by
turrets and propelled by crew Of
oarsmen varying in number from for
ty to seventy-two. These vessels be-
sieged versolx and even blockaded
Geneva. But Geneva also had a fleet
which helped in the capture of Chilon
in 1885, and when the Bernese an
nexed the canton of Vaud they. too.
had their fiotila. Their largest vessel
was the Great Bear. with GA oarsmen.

SLAVES OF CONGRESS-.

The congress Is popularity supposed
to be legislative body In which all
members have equal privileges and
rights. In fact II Is the general
belief that every member has the
right to introduce any measure which
he believes to be a subject for leg
islation. In former years this was
true, but since the days OF Car
Read, the members of the house
have no more privilege regarding leg
islatton than seems to be granted
those of the Russian legislative
body. The speaker Is an autocrat in
the strictest sense of the word and
his will IL absolute. This fact is
demonstrated by the reply of Con-
gresham Jones, of Washington, to
people and organizations petitioning
him to make an effort to have the
tariff on wood pulp and print paper
removed for the purpose OF dealing
the paper trust blow. Congressman
Jones tells the petitioners that he
favors such removal but 1t is hopeless
this session because 1t would raise
the whole tarin revision question
which cannot be gotten before the
house this year. In other words an
American citizen elected and sent to
congress as the representative OF a
free people is not permitted by the
powers that control legislation to In
troduce a bill for the relief OF his
constituents from the grasp OF a
thieving paper trust, which In prin-
ciple, Ia no better than the highway
man who robs his victim. That is
legislation In the American congress
OF today. There have been many
changes since Washington, and JEFF
ferson. and Lincoln died. Our
boasted freedom is becoming a very
thin shell.
The senate Is often referred to as
the aristocratic end OF the congress,
but It 10 fact that there s more In
dividual freedom and less herding
in that body than among the menu
bers Of the house,

same merchants take trade from the
printer to the cities. and the Press
must confess that this proceeding
IL not just and that the merchant
who expects the local newspaper to

frst to set the example, The public
would be surprised TO learn the names

SCENE OF HAPPY REUNION.
Descendants Of Lord Chesterfield Meet
In South Dakota.

ia
Two grandchildren of the famous
Lord Chesterfield of England were the
principals In a remarkable reunion
which has just taken place at Mont
rose, northwest of Sioux Falls.
The principals in the reunion were
q brother and sister, Miss Rachael
Chesterfield, a prominent Young Wom-
ems Christian association worker of
New York city, n Edward Chester
field, who since childhood had been a
resident of Nebraska and South Da-
kota. Their plans for the future are
not definitely known as yet. but 1t Is
believed the brother will accompany
his sister to New York and in the fu-
ture reside with her.
The reunion was the elimination or
a search which had been prosecuted
by Miss Chesterfield many years.
When she and her brother were chill
5dren and resided in New York city
their parents, as well as themselves.
were stricken with typhoid fever. The
parents died, but the children slowly
recovered and were taken in charge
by an orphans society. Young Ches-
terfeld, when only about five years of
age, was sent to a home in Nebraska,
where he remained for some years.
A few years ago he drifted to South
.Nhkota, finally appearing at Montrose.
Where he was given a position by DR..
spencer as a general utility man. He
has baan known -aS Ed Chester. the
field having been dropped from his
name, and this handicapped Miss
IChesterield in tracing him.
