latter part Of May brought sweltering
heat. so that electric fans were swung
from the ceiling of the Senate and the
House to make existence a little more
tolerable. There are prophesies OF q
very hot Washington summer, but these
really amount to nothing. There is
sometimes sweltering May and very
comfortable June.
Certain it is, however, that Congress
is to remain in session until along INTO
the summer. The Maine Senators and
Representatives are now more certain
than ever of that. But they will "bolt"
for home after a while. The political
situation is simply too hot in Maine to
permit of their staying here. Then,
after a few weeks now, there will be
nothing urgent to hold the Maine repre-
sentatives in Washington. The anti
trust bills will all be voted upon the pres
emit week or within few days thereof.
All appropriation bills have passed the
House except the Sundry Civil bill and
the general deficiency. The first will be
taken up during the month OF June. 1t
carries some items of Maine Importance,
such as appropriations for the Soldiers
Home at Togus.
After that the House will devote its
spare time to bills that are chiefly OF
Western interest, such as the water
power bills, public grazing bill. and so
on through quite category in which
Maine has no particular concern. About
that time the Maine representatives will
get leaves of absence, and return to
Washington only after the Senate has
disposed of some of the general legisla-
ton which the House has already voted
upon,

Another Side of General Huerta.

Huerta willingly lays aside the cares
of State and shows the genial side of his
character. He has gone to the Country
Club, and delighted the young people OF
the American Colony who happened to
be there with their parents, by taking
numbers of them for a ride around the
grounds in his large touring-car.
He may frequently be seen of an
afternoon drinking cup of tea in a small
tea-parlor, generally accompanied by a
single aide in multi, sometimes by one
or two friends.
One day he will drop into an American
book store, make number of purchases,
ask the proprietor about his health and
that of his family, and take leave with
a pleasantly on his lips.
And all these things he does, not with
the air of man aiming at effect or act
ing a part which he does not feel, but
with the natural, easy grace which, when
the Mexican, of whatever rank in life
he may be, il in the mood to behave
handsomely, sits 60 we'll on him. Louis
C. Simonds, in the June Atlantic.

A REFUGEE FROM MEXICO.

The Experiences Former Belfast Girl.
The Journal is permitted to take the follow
ing extracts from a personal letter from Mrs.
Elizabeth Simonton Bushnell, daughter of Ed
ward and Elizabeth Simonton, to friend in
this city:
1--WE are in Galveston, Texas, and were driven
out of Tampico April 22nd. The U. s. Marines
landed in Vera Cruz and after fierce battle
took possession of the city. That same day
word was received in Tampico that Vera Cruz
had been captured, and in snort time CROWDS
of men and boys began to form, for notice
was posted in Spanish saying: TO arms, to
arms, all loyal Mexicans, to fight the foreign
invaders. Mobs went through the streets cry
ing death to the Americans Long live
Huerta and Mexico" 1t was kept up until ten
that night. In the meantime three different
attacks we're made on the Southern Hotel,
an American house, but as the doors were
Closed and heavily bolted, they did not succee
in getting in. Behind the doors were 30 Amer
lean men, all with guns, and they would have
fired into the mob. There were " of our
finest American women up stairs and the men
would have protected their lives and honor to
the last. For ourselves we had another fam
lily with us, barricaded in our own home.
will never forget that night as long as nve.
The cries of the mob as they went by struck
terror to the heart. Mr.. Bushnell, our three
boys,two young girls and Mrs Lee were with
US. Between 10 and II o'clock that night the
German officers from a ship stationed in front
of the city went to the Governors office and
told him if the mob was not quoted within 10
minutes they would land marines. That morn
ing our warships the DesMoines, Chester and
Dolphin, much to our CONSERVATION and sur
prise, sailed out of the river into the Gull OF
Mexico and left u entirely without protection
1t was all due to the administration at Wssh-
ington, as all war manuevers are directed from
there But for the German and English war
ships most of us would have been killed. The
next day 1000 Americans were taken under the
German flag to our ships, II miles distant, and
kept on the S. S. Connecticut and other ships
for two days We were then transferred to
the Esper anza and taken to Galveston. On the
ship we met our son Edward, who had been In
Mexico City. He had been at Vera co Cruz as
one of the guards to the American Consulate
and had an exciting time. We feel like lot
of exiles here, living in cheap boarding house
without money and clothes. If the MARINES $
mad landed in Tampico we and our fine oil
business would have been protected. Mr;
Bushnell is in New York and Washington, and
we do not know when we can go back to our
home in Tampico."

POLITICAL POINTS.

Even Democratic papers are admitting
that business is bad and men are idle.
The New York Times has made the
statement that Sin the middle States
there are a million idle men with an
average loss of $50, 1000 day in wages.
AS an instance of this, in Chicago, it has
been proposed to appropriate a million
dollars to relieve idle wage earners.

Reports indicate that potatoes are
another food product which foreign
countries will grow for Americans under
the Democratic tariff law. We have
been growing almost all the potatoes we
have needed. For instance, the last two
months of 1912, under a Republican
tariff, only 41,000 bushels of potatoes
were imported into the United States.
In the last two months of last year,
under Democratic tariff, nearly 3,0O0,-
900 bushels of potatoes were brought
into this country. This means that
more than a million dollars which had
been going into the pockets of American
potato raisers were sent to foreign pota-
to growers. 1t is reported that the
foreign acreage of potatoes is to be
doubled, and hereafter increased year by
year. The southern rice growers have
Jared better at the hands Of the Demo-
cratic tariff makers. The Wilson tariff
imposes a duty of almost sixty cents a
bushel on rice.

81 doubt if there is particle Of dan
ger of Iowa sending back single Demo-
craft, says J. B. Hungerford, Editor of
the Carroll Herald, Carroll, Iowa, about
the Congressional elections this fall.
Mr.. Hungertord is editor and publisher
of the oldest paper in his county and is
in close touch with political conditions in
the Hawkeye State. He says that the
results of the Democratic tariff, which
are already beginning to show in the
Middle West, are giving the farmers
great concern, especially the importation
of corn and meat from Argentina to
compete with products of the American
farmer. These things are threatening
the farming industry, says Mr.. Hunger
ford, but they have not lessened the
cost of living. He says the Democratic
tariff is helping the trusts that have
acquired the control abroad of foreign
products that are being shipped into the
United States to compete with the
American farmer.

Senator John Sharp Williams, of Mis-
sissippi, who was the Democratic leader
in the House before Underwood, and
who berated his colleagues in the Senate
for quarreling over the selection of re-
serve cities, and other matters, declared
the party was beginning to do just what
it could be counted upon doing every
time. 1.-THE poor, dear, old foolish
Democratic party" said the Democratic
senator, is going through the same
game that she can be generally trusted
to go through soon after she gets into
power. That is the Democratic party,
true enough" he continued. "That is
its history. That is what led Speaker
Tom Reed to say in 1894 and 1896: You
can't last long because you are not &C.
customed to governing anybody or
anything; you cannot govern the coun-
try because you cannot govern your
selves. You are incompetent.
