Washington, April 24--Exasperating delays in Ahe passage of the adminds- trafions railroad bill in the senate have been provoked by the desire of ball games. Senator Elkins said yes- terday he could have put through sev- eral important provisions last week if it had not been for the absence of so many of his colleagues.
 Absence of Quorum.
 MT Elkins did not exaEgerate the situation, though he was speaking joc- ular1y. On Friday and Saturday early adjournments were necessitafed by the absence of a quorum, and for the same reason earlier sessions could not be ordered.
 Newspaper Man Gives Senator AIdrieh the Schedule.
 Saturday afternoon Senator Elkins reported that he had sufficient votes to defeat the Cumnnins substitute for the Elkins-Crawford provisions. which the senators in charge of the bill want adopted.
 Then let's get a vote." urged Sena- tor Aldrich.
 eTt wouldn't be safe this afternoon" said MT. Elkins. Too many senators are attending the ball game"
 That would affect both sides, wouldn't 1t" persisted Mr., Aldrich-
 T don't know about that" replied MT. Elkins. Tt seems to be our fel- lows who are away
 Do these baseball games keep on all sHrnmer?s asked MT. Aldxich in a grieved tone. Plainly, he did not know. Vice President Sherman or Senator Crane could have answered. but both of them were at the ball grounds. So a newspaper man had to tell him.
 sTwenty-two out of tine next twenty nine American league games will be played in Washington

Personal and Public Expense.

It is to be hoped that the probes now in progress will bring forcibiy to the peoples minds the question of what is personal expense and what is ublic expense. There seems to be an idea abroad that an officer is on public duty wherever he is or wherever he goes. The lack of discrimination upon this point has resulted in much unjust ex- pense. IL won't do for an officer to hold to very liberal views of what the law is as 10 this expense Nor will it do to throw the doubls in ones favor which seems to have been the rule mnch of the time.
 There is no place where a person should be so particular as In the pub Ne service where one Is supposed 10 watch himself and to be guided by a strict sense of honor. The line of duty should be as straight and clear as a ray of light. And this remark is ap- pifcakle particularly to legislators, for if they go wrong everybody goes wrong and if they do selfish thing so t goes down along the line. If there. is a stain in the fountain 1t is down in the stream.--Ohio State Journal.
