' 1 '- WASHINGTON LETTER. Froa.ur &erular Correspondent. If the Senate is marking time on the rate bill mid find tag exiMjo8 for not epeakins. the House is by no mean talked out. Bourke fjoekrao thi week had an hours time granted him in which to ex ptcHs bin yiews, nnd they were well expressed and went to the point a ig usual with his speeches. What he jd vis ed was fortheHousetoetaad pat on the rate bill and al low no amendment from the Sennie. He an id that In com inon with a good many oth r memhtr he Iim1 gone over the Hepburn bill, hoping to strengthen it by amendment, hut he found that ineveir ease h bad beeti anticipated hy the framers of the bill and hetluumbt that the bent thins to do was to puss the hill as it stood and not allow the S-nate to saddle it with amendments In th matter of a court review provision. Mi. Corkren took the com mon sense view that if any railroads were not satisfied with tli ruling of the com mission, all it had to do to secure a court review wss to lail to endorse the order. This would nt once throw the matter into the courts and get the ruling that all thecourt reviewamendment purported to seek. It was quite a simple, homely speech and as notice bad been given that it wss to occur, the gal l ries werecrowded. Ol course so lone as the bill is under consideration in the Senate, the talk on the bouts end is rather beside the mark, but it Is an indication to the Sen ate that the FTonse for once intends to stand on its rights and if the hill comes back from the Senate in any con siderable amended shape, it is likely to have a hard time before it gets to conference and afterward, Almost as old as the pro posal to -hang the date of the Presidential inaugura tion is the proponal to elect Senators by a popular vote. But the measure has been in troduced again by Mr. Nor ris. of Nebraska, and in spite of 1 he fart that the bill has four times pjsed the House rnd hss been killed in the Senate, there is renewed talk of its passing. There is incor poru ted with the bill a pro posal to make the term of members of th House four yfars instead of two. Th ob ject of this, the report says, is to'give more importance to the' primaries and pre vent the professional hood lers from living over f rom term to term on theproeeeds of his unholy work at one e lertion.The people are tired the reporter says, "of this continuous drama and as a result are inclined to give lit tie attention to the prima ries and conventions which are the very foundation of our political system, and nre the times at which the coun try's interest can be best pro terted.'' The change in the order of lections would have to be necomp1i!bed by a constitu tional .amendment,' but the franoer of the bill is convinc ed that it is a good one nnd it has at least had a favora ble report to the House. It will not he long before the pure food bill will come to n vote. Matters are in such a shape that it can at any time be made the unfin ished business and a vote on it may be arranged nt any day. It is possible that the measure may pass at this ses sion and it is nlmost a cer tainty that if it does not it will pass and be signed by the President at the nxt session. Dr. Wiley, of the De. pnrtnvnt ol Agriculture, is of' course the fsther of the bill and he hss a tot of argu ments in the shape of adul t era ted foods of one sort and a not her spread out on two big trays at the Department which he intends t't send up to the 'Japitol to back his declaration that a pure food bill is an absolute necessity. The custom house inspec tors in New York played in to his hands this week too and.furnish him with ahat he has told a number of frieuds is another good argu ment. It i to theetfect that the ma ret of the eastern states is being flooded, with spurious "pure olive oil." This oil is of two sorts. One of them is imported right en ough, but. it is imported free and costs 40 cents a gallon. It comes in free under t he declaration that It is purely for mechanical uses. And that is all it is fit for. It is the low est grade ot refuse fiom the oil factories. When it gets in to this country, boweyer, it is filtered to remove the dirt, a little potash added to take out the rancid taste, for it is all of it rancid, and then is bottled and put on the mar ket as "pure luea oil " This stuff, Dr. Wiley declares, is entirely unfit for human con sumption. Yet it is is largely old and there is no federal law under which the vendors can be prosecuted. The other device is even more barefaced, though less harmful. The Department found recently that the east ern end ot the country was being flooded wih cheap "ol ive oi!" for which there was no equivalent record at the custom house, though all of it was lnheled imported. The inspectors finally found that it was manufactured hy the car load in flew lorlc. oil. bottles, tables and all, und then sold outside the State, There were 25 samples cap tured by the Pennsylvania authorities and several hun dred dollar will be collected in fines from the men who sol J it, but what the advo cates of the pure food bill want is a law under which the makers of the stuff can bf prosecuted. And this they say they will have when' the bill pastes. Eczema, Tetter, Salt Rheum, Itch. Ring Worm, Herpes, Barber's Itch. All of these diseases are attended by intense itchinjr, which is almost instantly relieved by applying Cham berlain's Salve and by its" continued us a permanent cure may be effect ed.

Two men in the foregrou no! in con versation. "Who i that man in th fine automobile in the head of the procession?" asked one of the men. "That la a distiller." "And who is tbeman in the fine Victoria?" "That is the wholesaler." "And the man in the buck hoard, with the black mm tache, who it driving tbose trotters? Who is he." 'He is a retailer." "Then who comes t h great multitude of unkept and ragged men following, who look like faith's failure? Who are they?' , "They, mj friend, are the consumers." So much for n aspect of the whisky question. Self mastery is the secret of success, Inability to master yoursHI is the receipt of fail ure. .No epithet is too strong. no pit is too profound for the man who confidea hi character to the keeping of 11 whisky bottle, " Alcohol will preserve or gauic matter, such as fi h h snd vegetables in whi'-h life has ceased to exist, lu oi l . m a nays non 01 people w n o died at sen were brought home in casks of rum.

In France and Germany, where people as a rule, drink light, pure beers, drunken nss is very rare. And t h writer ijf. this editorial has never seen a drunken Jew in this or any oher country, Inn el appears to be a hoc tempcr.t nee society in the true sent-e.
