WASHINGTON LETTER From our Regular Cor reifcndmf. It looks ns though the pan nma appropriation bill will bavH a stormy time ahead o' it in the Senate. It was con oeeded that it would be paused. bv the Ht.use with consider able speed, but even at that then whs $5. HOd, 000 cut from the amount and all of the members who had a spite either against the measure or ngafnst th" President took opportunity to vent it. There wen some veryennstic things SHid about the payroll of the Commission, some of which were true and some exagger ated for party and personal ends A good denj of capi tul "was made out of referring to thrt$10,000"pressngetit" of the commission Now it is quite true that Mr. Bishop, who is thus designated, is probably over paid, he is reallv the. secretary of the Commission and why he should be always sp.iken of as the 'pres agents' merely be cause he usually gives out the newspaper statements is a little hari to see. There was sofne critieisn also of the other ft 10, 000 men, W. D. Rose, the pui chasing agent, and E S. Benson, the auditor, Whether these are both good men it will be pos sible tojudge, by experience.' If they are, the.y probably are not even paid. The pur chasing agent is not of the most important official un der t he Commission. He has much more than any other one man to do keeping sup ples of all sorts up to stand ard and his opportunities for graft, if he is dishonest, are limitless. The auditor is alurst equally important, and under the goverment system of hook Keeping, he is likely to earn his salary as it Is. If these two nun are well paid, there will be less temptation for them to look for mony on the outside, and if 10, OOOeaehwil! keep them honest in a tiopical at mosphere, which is redolent of giatt. the Commissions may be spending money wisely in giving them good salaries1 One thing is certain, and that is that the appropria tion bill for the ("anal will have to go through in time for. the end of December pay roll or else the workers will have to wait lor their money There is enough money to the commissions account tomeet the bills up to th loth of this month But beyond that there will be u deti.-it. The canal is going to cost many millions ami it will h worth it whatever it costs. So Con gress had jusr as well appro priate the money cheerfully since this counfy is commit ted to the enterprise, There will he a great many enf icisms made as the work pro gi.sss. But they can not effect the ultimate outcome and Congress cannot prevent the ultimate nu'res of the nrop'Pt b y niggardliness. though it can hamper it. One of the moves of the wareho dm nn's assoiHHtion meeting here this week wdl appeal to every one who baai to face the problem of the increasing cost of foodstuffs without a corresponding in crease salary. They have petitioned the goverment for a federal cold storage plant. This will necessitate an ap propriation of $1,000,000 and the plan may or may not be well worked out. But the i lea is to throw the gover ment in between the people and the feed trust which uses the cold storage plant to en h a n c e prices. Practically ever article of human food is now subject to the cold stor. age method of preservation and it is the ability to keep anything from eggs to beef steak for a year without spoiling that enables the Beef Trust, which handles a great many things besides beef, to dictate orices both to the producer and the consumer. It is most likely that the goverment cold storage idea will never come to anything, but is a writhing of the worm in an effort to turn. Pos sibly by thrf time thecountry is reduce to meat once a week as a luxury there will some better idea than the gover ment cold storage plant turn up and stand a better show I passing. It developed that there are more roads to fame and com petence than being born in Ohio, graduating from Bars vard or having served in the Rough Rider-. It is rumored that the President is about to appoint "Bat" Masters on,his personal bodyguard in place of Mr. T.vree, made United States Marshall of II est Virginia. There is no indication that the president is threatenead with any par ticularly pressing danger or that he is more than com monly nervous. Hut he does love a man who is light on the trigger. Masterson, the fa mous exsheriff of I dg City only reeeutly came to New York to accept the post Mar shall there. Jut he has re- ently had u couple of con ference with the President and ii: is more than possible that he will be picked to uc ceed Tvrec. "Bat" always was a handy man with a gun hut he was decidedly on the square and he held down the delicate and difficult post ot sheriff in the days when it was eaid that there was "no law west of Omaha and no Ciod west, of Dodge City''. The chances are that if he becomes aspecial secret man he will never have to crook a ringer oh a triger. But he is a man who has proved his ability to do that, when re quired, and the President has an especial fondness for a man who is delt in that di red in.' King ok All Ccugh Medicines. Mr, E. G. Case, a mail carrier of Canton Center, Conn., who has been in the TJ. S. Se'vice for about six teen years, &avs: "We have tried many cough medicines for croup but Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is kin.g of all and one to he relied Ulion evry time.
