Nominees of President Have to
Run Gauntlet.
Wilson Having More Trouble In This
Respect Than Any of His Recent
Predecessors-Causes Many
for This Condition.

Washington, D. C.-President Will
son is having more trouble over his
appointees to office than any of his
recent predecessors. In spite of the
personal care he exercises in choos-
ing men for high positions, the dis
position even among the Democrats in
congress to look askance at a new
nominee for office has come to be a
habit.
There are several causes underlying
this attitude of congress. They may
be summed up as follows:
1. Several Of the old line Demo
Gratis have always believed that the
senate should exercise its constitutions
al prerogative of advising" the pres
ldent on nominations as well as con
senting" to them.
z. Many of the Democrats, young
and old, have detained so fiercely I'M
Ter Republican administrations against
Dig business that they cannot con-
slstently vote for man from that
field of action for any office.
8. Some senators have a perma-
nent suspicion against any man nom
mated for office or at the suggestion
of some Of the cabinet officers
4. Any man who has written a book
or newspaper article must submit
10 a critical review of his works be-
lore passing muster for Office
3. The Republicans, in general, re-
calling the fact that the Democrats in
the senate held up President Taft's
nominations through an entire ses-
sion Of congress, to save the places for
themselves, and. in many instances.
having concrete objections to some of
the nominees, are ready to help out
any Democrat who wishes to make
trouble over any of President viii.
sons nominations.

days to the Investigating activities of

the president an offer of a public office
he may as we'll prepare at once to
come to Washington, If the Office is
big enough, and lay bare his whole
life to some sort of congressional in
vestigating body.
Some members do not hesitate to
say that congress is rapidly degener-
ating into society of gossips. They
believe that the limits of decency have
been overstepped, in some cases and
that the quickest and best way to
drive men of capacity and ability out
of public office is to force them to
submit to the inquisitorial prelimin-
airy which now has become a requi-
site to a mere favorable report for a
nomination.
On the other side are many eminent
senator's who assert that there is am
pie justification at this time for a care
full scrutiny not only Of nominations
for office, but of legislation as we'll.
They point out that congress is
amending so many of the important
fundamental laws of the land that it
becomes congress to see that the ad-
ministration of these laws is intrust-
ed to men OF proper qualifications,
who will not play politics or serve
special interests. ...- o..

not wholly responsible for the situa-
ton. Anybody who is intimate

WILL INSTALL
 NEW DREDGE

The Treadgold mining oper- ations on Dominion creek, Yu- kon Territory, are being pros ecuted this season along sim ilar lines to those of last year, comprising thus far the wash- ing of muck from the surface at several places with hydraulic giants. The water is being taken from several gulches and conveyed for miles in ditches. The ground is being prepared for operation with new type machines. Charles ?, pplan, superintendent for the com pany on Dominion, who sever al weeks ago visited England, where the machines are being constructed, says one of them was to have left there before the first of the month, and should be there within few weeks. It is to be taken to Dominion and assembled i'm mediately on arrival. Each machine will have a capacity of about I0,S00 cubic yards a day. as much as the largest dredge in the Klondike can handle. More exactly speaking the machine handles 450 cubic meters an hour, and cubic meter is a little larger than a cubic yard. They are known as the Lubecker dredge and eX cavating machine. Only one is coming at first so that if the local conditions demand alter ations of any detail they can be made before the other machines are forwarded. Mir. Dolan when in London this spring made 9 special trip to Liepsic Germany, and vicinity, where he saw twenty-one of the me- chimes in operation. Some are digging coal, some chalk, and others gravel and other mater ial.

Power of the Opium Habit.

In the American Magazine former newspaper man, who became victim of the opium habit and is now n con vict in penitentiary, writes dramat- ic account of his experiences with the drug. He gives as follows his idea of the power of the habit:
 "I do not believe that any man with an opium or morphine habit of years standing can deny himself the drug if 1t Is within reach.
 q do not believe that any man, no matter what his previous character may have been, can use opium contin- uously and not have the impulse to be crooked. He may not be crooked. he may lack the nerve or the necessity to steal, but the impulse will be there, and if it ever becomes a question of theft or 'habit' he will thieve. This is the history of every opium smoker l have ever known"

The Invention of the Panorama.

Tine panorama was invented by Q Scotchman named Robert Barker, who obtained a license in London In 17S7 and erected q rotunda on Leicester square. He was associated with Rob ert Fulton, the practical inventor of the steamboat, who introduced pano- ramas into Paris in 179G. but resigned in favor of Thayer perhaps in order to give his attention to the application of steam to boats. Thayer raised TO- tunda on the Boulevard Montmartre. whence comes the name of the Pas sage des Panoramas. Bonaparte caused plans to be drawn up fQr eight pano- famas, in which his conquests were to be shown to the Parisians, whom he always tried to impress with the mag nitude of the achievements in order to keep them faithful to his star. But these projects were never realized.
