WASHINGTON LETTER.

From Our Regular Corresspondent)
Washington d. c., Jan Is, 1903.
Democrats in Congress are great
ly -cjuiced over the recent exchar ge
OF cour'eSies between Rep. John
Sharpe Williams and Rep. De- Ar
mond ON the floor of the House. IL
was feared that the alteration which
occurred between these two strong
Democrats would result in a perma.
nent estrangement and would so
weaken The minority. A trifiing de-
bate over the question of what
should be done with the report of
the int committee on Revision of
the Avs afforded the opportunity
which Mr.. Williams seized, yielding
the fl or N Mr. Ds Almond and so
peace was brought about. 1t was
natur liy the place of Mr.. Williams
TO taxi The Initiative in the recon-
ciliatio'. He bad won the victory
over r.. Almond in the recent con-
test f. E the House leadership and he

much as possible from the cold, drizzly
rain.

Resolutions

The following are the resolutions
adopted by the Whitefish Non-Partisan
Railroad Employees club:
Whereas, All industries of Montana
are indirectly governed by the prosperity
or poverty of our railroads, and,
Whereas, the tendency of both nation
al and state legislation appears to favor
the curtailment of railroads and other in
dustrial earnings, which jeopardizes con-
templated large expenditures of money
within our state for improvement and
construction of new lines, and
Whereas, All railroad employees in the
past have been disinterested or negligent
in regard to politics and legislation, and,
Whereas, Statistics show that 10 per
cent of the voting population of the
United States are railroad employees ;
therefore be it
Resolved, That we, the employees Ct
the kalispell division of the Great Mort :
ern railway, unite and organize the
ployes' club, with view to acquiring
information and political knowledge, is
ing our influence to procure a large reg
istration and vote at the polls, and be it
further
Resolved, That this club be under no
obligation to any candidate or party, and
that each member of this club preserve
his right of free American citizen in
casting his ballot, and that this club
have no jurisdiction over his vote; and
be it further
Resolved, That We use our combined
influence with our lawmakers to keep
our idle men at work, and protest against
all legislation adverse to our interests
and be it further
Resolved, That all railroad employees
be eligible to membership in this club
except those holding official positions.
