Come to Washington: send your

the superintendent thereof, Colonel

me into the gallery reserved for the
public, says John L. Nathrop, writing
from the national capital. A matter
of grave concern arises. Some mem

a parliamentary issue arises. Eight

decided it with sang froid; he would
have always decided it as the COR

breastworks might "go hang" for all
their parliamentary rights were con-
cerned. But this time as you sit be-
side me in the gallery, the erstWhile
autocrat. this parliamentary jugger-
naut will seem to be humbled He
will even recognize a member who
has not "kow lowed" to him: he will
even speak to some OF them when
he leaves the chamber and passes
them in the house lobbies: and
most marvellous of all--he will. per-
chance upon some knotty parliament
tary point. actually ask the house tn
pass upon it.
Then, too, Cannons associates in
the "Organization"-the have re-
gained their power of sight and are
able to see Progressives when they
meet them in the corridors: although
eight weeks ago they suffered from
strabiSmus.

of Kansas, Lenroot of Wisconsin are
ready to pass them as soon as they

The Organization" doesn't even

Highways of Progress" he deplores
the "eNtravagance" of spending ST.

Ot a system which, to his view, is "a
relic of dictators and abhorred by

AS Mr. Hill gives the secret service
no credit for achievement, it is peril

for the work of government spies"
land frauds and similar schemes of
exploitation would have continued
until Uncle Sam would have had no

Harper B. Lee, a Texan and the only

In this city yesterday between the

conditions on Railroad street relating
to drainage promise to be speedily
remedied.
For years past the surface water ac-

property into Railroad street where
the drainage has proven difficult to

fare. making the walk on the west
side impossible and encroaching on
several properties.
The land abutting on the sidewalk
thus inundated is owned by the T. d

doing anything to improve drainage
at that point, therefore, apprised J. f.
