Facts About Giants.

That very few Of the giants who
have ever lived have been healthy or
we'll formed recent researches prove
beyond a doubt. All we know about
Goliath is that he was very tall. but Ia
the second book of Kings we read
about another giant. who had more
fingers than an ordinary human being,
and. according to modern scientists,
this is invariably a token Of degen:
eracy. Marcel Donnal saw at Milan a
giant who was so tall that his body
filled two beds at night. but whose
legs we're so weak that he could hard
ly stand upright. William Evans. the
gigantic porter Of Charles l.. had little
strength. and Cromwells porter. an
other giant. ended his days in luna
tic asylum. Finally. O'Brien. the Irish
giant, has been described as IAN enor

Indications point to the adop-
ton by Congress of the two bat
tleship program. Senator Hale
Of Maine, strenuous opponent
of big ships, it is thought will
not oppose them this year, and
the sentiment for these colossal
ships is strong in the House of
Representatives. There was
much talk in the early part of the
session about an empty treasury
and that it was needful to be e.
economical. There has recently
been little talk of this kind. The
revenues of the government are
rapidly increasing under the
present tariff.
There was much talk in the
early part of the session about an
extensive waterways program.
Senator Burton of Ohio, than
whom no one better understands
the inland navigation situation,
has filed minority report on the
Rivers and Harbors bill. 1t will
be remembered that Senator Bur-
ton was for many years head of
the Rivers and Harbors Commit
tee of the lower House. He there
acquired a more thorough knowl-
edge at first hand of the rivers
and harbors schemes in the Uni
ted States than any other man.
What he knows about waterways
in this country and Europe he
has gained by profound investi-
cation or at first hand. In short,
he is an authority and probably
better entitled to be heard than
any man in the United States.
In his minority report he denoun-
ces squarely what he calls a
"dribbling policy, in appropri-
ations for harbor and river pur-
poses. He is opposed to the sys-
TEN making a lot of small piece
meal appropriations instead of
those sufficiently large for the
completion of the work. But the
most notable feature of his mi
nority report relates to the con-
| fiict between water and railroad
transportation. For years it has
been the policy of the railroads
to reduce rates on certain classes
of freight for the purpose of driv-
! ing river steamboat navigation
out of business. Mr.. Burton de-
sires to have the Interstate Gem
merce Commission fix minimum
rates on railroads when necessary
l to protect water transportation.

Washington Letter.
Washington, April 16.

| w - pr 49,
An episode of the week of no
very great Importance, but with
al having some significance, was
the address of the President to
the leaders of the National Wo-
mans Suffrage Association in
this city. The President did not
squarely take issue with the prop
Uganda, but expressed some doubt
as to the ultimate results of the
| enfranchisement of the sex.
These doubts were perhaps justi-
fled from his long study and OBJ
servation of male suffrage and
from his knowledge that the man
best qualified to vote most fire.
quently had his vote cancelled by
the worst qualified voter. He
knows, as does every statesman,
that suffrage is at best a make
shift and that until combined
psychometer and phrenometer
shall be invented which will ac-
curately take stock of the mind
and mola ais of the voter and a
law be passed that will enable
every mans vote to weigh ac-
cording to his stock of sense and
soul, popular suffrage cannot be
more than a laundering, clumsy
instrument for the attainment OF
wisdom and purity in govern
ment. It is the mistake of few
hundred or perhaps few thous-
and good women to imagine that
they have in suffrage panacea
for the cure of bad government.
They have not thought enough
or gone deep enough historically
or philosophically into the sub
| iect. Well, Mr.. Taft tried to
tell them something of this kind,
although he would not have dared
to have spoken out as plainly as
YOUR humble correspondent, and
his gentle advice was received
with Kisses and cat calls, almost
under the caves of the White
House, from the ladies in the au-
dience, who showed that they
were no more polite than men
and even less reverential. What
ever may be said against the
President, he is man and a gen
tleman. If these ladies had callec
on DR.. Samuel Johnson, they
would doubtless have been re
! ceived with the Flddle-de-de

to a deputation of ladies who con
