Slave to Habit.

To everyone who realizes the force
of the saying that "a man is slave
to his habits" must have come at least
a qualm of sympathy for those old sem
ators who, deprived of their accus-
toned summer jaunts, have been sit
ting steadily in Washington, in the
heat of the senate chamber, speaking
when necessary, but mainly present to
vote and to maintain a quorum.
Take Senator Wetmore. of Rhode
Island, for instance. He was one of
the most lonely of men during the
whole of the tariff discussion. 1t was
a subject in which he was not inter-
ested, except so far as it affected the
industries of his state Neither his
mind nor his training caused the in
tricacies of ad valorems and specifics
to be alluring to him. Rather were the
Joys of society at the fashionable sea-
side resorts of Newport and Narragan-
sett Bay appealing. He never spoke
except to answer when the roll was
allied, and strangely enough he was

seldom spoken to. Other senators were
too busy. Yet during the whole eleven
weeks of the tariff debate Senator Wet
more was in constant attendance.
Somewhat of contrast was the con-
duct of Senator Richardson, of Della
ware. He secured a pair with con-
sistent democrat and then, satisfied
that his vote would count, and not be-
ing overburdened with weight of elo-
quence, disappeared from Washington
early in May and had not been seen
since 1t is suspected that he is re-
cuperating up at Frontenac. But Rich
ardson conducts large canning fac
tory, and every one knows that this is
the season for canning. Consequently
there have been those who have been
mean enough to suggest that perhaps
his interest in local industries has kept
him away. Meanwhile his colleague.
Mr.. Dupont, was present all of the
time, and secured an increase of 20
cents a bushel in the tariff on pota-
toes.

WASHINGTON, D. c., July 17-Af-
ter sitting through many weeks of the
tariff debate and witnessing day after
day the control which Senator Aldrich
had over the situation, it remained for
Senator Depew to discover and figur-
atively take off his hat to another boss,

ever been acouainted-and surely
Chauncey knows a party boss when
he sees one, if anyone does.
The gentleman to whom Depew paid
his respects lives and moves and has
his party in Porto Rico. 1t is called
the Unionist party and just because it
could not get full control of the gov
eminent and change the existing meth
DDS of taxation, and do a number of
other things which would subvert the
form of government established by the
United States, it refused. under the
aforesaid leadership, to make any ap-
preparations for the support of the
Porto Rican government for the pres
ent fiscal year. 1t was for that rea
son that the American congress had to
pass a bill changing the organic law of

tleman who absolutely controls the
Unionist party for having displayed
a skill in securing a power and main
tanning it which places him in the front
rank of political leaders. He dominates
the house of delegates, having named
eide upon legislation without publicly
summoning him and his executive
committee to their deliberations, and
in reaching out for the control of the
local judiciary under a bill which
would compel the governor to appoint

than regulation rain umbrellas, and
they come in all colors to match street
garments. They serve equally well as
umbrellas or parasols.
Gloves are also one Of the most i'm
