Unusual Legislative Favor.

a remarkable piece OF legislation Is
pending in Congress proposing to pay 10
8 Connecticut man, Mr.. A. H. Emery. an
amount Of money which is roughly esti-
mated AT sl,500o0o. The legislation Wa.
first presented in the form Of a bin IN
the Senate and finally offered as an
amendment 10 the sundry civil measure
Il provides for the construction Of the
building TO shelter a testing machine and
the erection OF the mechanism Itself Of
the value OF such a machine there is no
question. Engineers everywhere regard
il as Of the greatest advantage in the
testing Of materials which enter into the
composition Of buildings and bridges. No
private concern could afford to build such
a machine, and it is proper that the gov
eminent should regard with favor a
proposition to establish plant that viii
| accomplish The purpose desired
There is. however. every reason for op-
posing the measure on other grounds. IN
the first place, it permits no competition
in the design and construction OF the ma
chine It must be purchased from Mr.
Emery. Of whose ability TO construct the
machine there IS no doubt, since he was
the designer and builder Of a similar ma
chine used for many years, and stnI in
use. at the wstervliet N. y Arsenal IN
der the army ordnance department In
the pending legislation. however. Mr..
Emery is 10 receive a substantial sun
upon the enactment Of the law before he
does anything. He is to have practi-
caIly his own way from beginning 10 end
It is the method by which this legisIa-
ton is sought in behalf Of an individual
and the circumstances which will favor
that individual beyond the usua! practice
Of Congress in such matters that should
engage critical attention. Mr.. Emery. It
may be mentioned. is the gentleman who
has had for some years a contract with
the War Department TO furnish a disap-
pearing carriage Of his own design He
has received S15s.O00 since 1893 out of a
total appropriation Of $4,000. while the
War Department has little 70 show
for the expenditure The legislation con-
nected with the Emery disappearing gun
carriage was enacted in the same way as
/ Is proposed for the benefit Of Mr.. Emery
in the case OF his powerful testing
machine. It would be well for Congress
to consider carefully whether legislation
Of this sort is justihabIe on any grounds
Of prudence in the expenditure Of public
money regardless of the merits of the
claim.

Mr.. Newbeny's Retirement.

Reforming the Senate.

Public sentiment. however. IS becoming

Senate power. Reaction already has been
felt in the movement throughout the
country which IS sending men 10 the
Senate who are more representative Of

succeed. Senate traditions are not held
