Three switchmen we're killed in
the Minneapolis yards last Friday,
and one of them, Edward Cheatham,
both of whose legs had been severed,
fought heroically to save his life.
He called for a piece of engine bell
cord and two small sticks, and with
these he improvised tourniquets, but
Notwithstanding this the poor fellow
bled to death before he reached the
hospital in an ambulance. Three
switchmen in a day is a heavy death
toll in one railroad yard, and it is
a pity that means are not devised for
making the work of switchmen more
safe.

With the discovery of thez rendez-
vous of William Rockefeller, who
was basking in the sun at Nassau in
the West Indies, it was also discoy-
cred that he is suffering from a
chronic ailment of the vocal
nerves which precludes the possible
ity of his testifying before the So
called ''money trust'3 investigators.
At least his physician says SO, and
adds that Mr.. Rockefeller's death
would doubtless be FASTENED were he
to attempt it. Even were he to
answer the heterogeneous of the
committee in writing the strain
would be too much for his weakened
constitution, declares the medical
man. Is it not peculiar that this
'chronic'' vocal ailment from which
Mr.. Rockefeller is said to be suffer-
ing was not discovered until fifty or
more process servers had gone forth
to bring him before the Investigators
to give testimony? Until week or
two ago William was one of the most
loquacious old boys in the country.

In a hearing before the military
affairs committee of the national
house of representatives Secretary of
War Stimson strongly advocated the
restoration of the canteen at army
posts. 1t is claimed that since the
canteen was abolished there has been
a great increase in drunkenness and
INSTRUMENTATION among the soldiers.
This is brought about, it is declared,
by the fact that the men, when off
duty, visit the rum shops which
abound within a few miles of the
army posts and drink the poisonous
liqours sold at such places; whereas,
when canteens are maintained by
the government at headquarters the
liquor is not only pure but man is
refused a suficient quantity to bring
about intoxication. Army officers
have found it almost impossible to
enforce discipline since the abolition
Of the canteen, and many of them
are in favor Of restoring it,, OF two
evils it is we'll to choose the lesser.

A story comes from Washington to
the effect that the democratic pat

plan which contemplates the enact
ment by congress of law that will
terminate next July the terms of
office of all presidential postmasters,
district attorneys, marshals. revenue
collectors and other officeholders
whose terms originally were contem-
poraneous with that of the president
and of his cabinet. 1t is proposed
that in the event of the republicans
supporting such measure the 1900
Taft nominations now being held up
shall be confirmed. The enactment
of such law would mean the throw

In one way Napoleon possessed de-

He realized that the armies of the re-

LEGISLATIVE NOTES.

vanced thinkers as Messrs, Nolan,
Knapp. Holmburg, Lennon, Camp
bell and Hopkins [ was led to believe
that fairer and better way of select
ing the elective officers of the house
would be devised than the rotten
method which came into vogue with
the speakership of Sam Van SAINT in
1895. Up until that year the cleo
/ tive officers of the house were nomi-
mated in open caucus and, the major
ity party of course, ratified the
choice of the caucus on the floor Of
the house. In recent years, how
ever, the "steering committees'' are
the whole works. The total mem
bership of the; house is l2O, of which
20 are democrats, prohibitionists
and socialist, the remainder claim
to affiliate with the republican
party, hence the latter organized. the
house. The majority party is held
responsible and should rule, and
there could be no valid objection to
the 81 republicans selecting the cleo
tive officers, but as a matter of fact
IA members do the selecting. Here
is the modus operandi: A few of
the republicans from each of the
nine congressional districts get. to.
gether and each district selects "a
'steering committee" of three mem
bers; these steering committeesA-27
members in all-meet in joint caucus
and majority of the 27-14 --virtu-
ally select the elective officers. The
men nominated for the elective posi-
tions by the joint steering commit
tees-chief clerk, sergeant at arms,
etc.-are nominated without opposi-
tion in the open republican caucus
and, of course, the caucus nominees
are elected by the house.
900
Take the case of George H.. Deans
for instance: He was undoubtedly
the choice of a majority of the re-
publican members for the position
of sergeant at arms and would have
been chosen if the republican mem
bers of the house had been afforded
an opportunity of voting for him.
But in the caucus of the joint steer
ing committees, where the secret
ballot prevailed and men could disre-
gard their pledges with impunity, he
failed to receive II votes, hence his
name was not presented in the gen.
eral republican caucus. -
From reading the city papers one
would imagine that the house organ
ization achieved a great victory in
the fight over the adoption of the
rules reported by the rules commit
tee The only rule that was seriously
objected to was that which gave the
rules committee of seven members
the right to dictate to every other
committee of the house. The net
result of the somewhat heated and
protracted debate was that the rule
was rescinded. To be sure the mo-
tion to strike out the rule was de-
feated, but the rule was amended in
such a! manner that the contention
was sustained, and the rules commits
tee will not dictate to all the other
committees of the house. H 0a$
