Washington Letter
(By John Corrigan, Washington
Correspondent)
Washington, D. D„ January 10—
Senators Bacon and Terrell have re
ceived a memorial signed by practi
cally all the railway trainmen and
employees of the Central of Georgia
and Atlantic Coast Line Railways
urging them to favor steps that will
permit the railways to increase their
passenger and freight rates. The
signers say the interests of the rail
roads and the railroad employees
are identical, and that the railroads
must prosper if on adequate and
stable wage scale is maintained. The
memorial has been delivered to the
Interstate Commerce Commission.
Senator Terrell’s activity in be
half of the Dolliver bill to extend
Federal aid to the states ’in en
couraging agricultural education and
to train the boys and girls in various
industries and home economics,
seems to have struck a responsive
chord in Georgia.
“I knew you would be heard from
in the interest of . education,” wrote
one enthusiastic admirer. “Keep up
the fight for agricultural education.”
It is the hope of the South.
Our farmers formerly thought
they knew how to raise corn, until
the boys came along last year and
raised from 80 to 228 bushels per
acre. That was brought about by
education. We have just found out
we are in the A. B. C. class in agri
culture. Push agricultural educa
tion. It is needed worse than any
thing else, and the farmer, the man
who feeds us all, deserves this re
cognition.”
Senator Terrell has had several
conferences with Willett M. Hays, i
assistant secretary of agriculture, in
reference to perfecting the pending
bill. Whatever a new member
may do to push the measure through
Senator Terrell is going to do.
Agricultural education will probably
be the snbject of his maiden speech
in the Senate.
He will tell of Georgia's pioneer
work in establishing agricultural
schools. These schools were made
an “issue” in the campaign in which
Mr. Terrell was elected governor.
The new senator from Georgia
has probably made more acquain
tances and friends in the agricul
tural department than in any other
executive department. They knew
of his work before he came to Wash
ington and were delighted to see and
know him. His hobby, agricultural
education, has made him solid with
that branch of the goverment ser
vice.
The two Georgia senators and
members of the lower house are
recieving a large number of strong
protests from Georgia newspapers
against the goverment continuing
in the printing business. Owners of
job printing offices cannot see why
Uncle Sam should print envelopes,
any more than it should print news
papers or sell groceries. The repeal
of the law is desired. "Let the
goverment furnish stamped envel
opes if it cares to do so, say the job
printing houses, but leave to private
citizens the work of doing the print
ing.” Senators Bacon and Terrell
are giving the petitions earnest con
sideration.
Colonel Livingston has been offer
ed a high official position with a
western mining company at $25,000
a year salary, on leaving congress
March 4th, but hasjdeclined to con
sider it because he was not satisfied
with the company’s plan of doing
busiress.
Democrats and republican insur
gents will easily control the next
senate. Only the |continued good
health of a number of senators re
presenting normally republican
states that now have democratic
legislatures, can prevent the demo
crats alone and unaided gaining
complete control of the upper house
within the next two years. The
republican majority in two years
has dwindled from 30 to 7.
Intense interest attaches to the
gathering of democrats at Jackson
Day I celebration in Baltimore on
January 17th, and the democratic
cauncus of members of the next
house of representatives in Wash
ington on the 19th. The indications
now are that the caucus [will select
the |ways and means committee,
and that this committee will select
all “the other committees of the
house.

A Want Ad
A German farmer lost his horse
and wanted to advertise it. The
editor asked him what he wanted
to say. “Yust put vat I told you,”
replied the man. “One nite the ud
der day apout a week ago last
munth I heard me a noise by der
front middle of de pac yard which
did not use to be. So I jumps the
ped oud und finds that my pig gray
iron mare he [was tied loose and
runnin’ mid der stable off. -Who
every prings him pack shall pay
five dollars reward.”
The most destable person in any
community is the slandever. As-a
rule,he is a man of lowjbreeding and
burtal .instincts, possessing a cer
tain quantity of low |cunning and
perverted sentimentality which so
dwarfs the small trifle of charity
and decency that may have been
born in him, that the virtuous when
viewed through his basilisk eyes be
come in his own estimation and the
honest hideous. Such a person
gloats with fiendish glee if he can,
perchance, cast a shadsw of reproach
upon a spotless character, though
it be one to whom he makes fulsome
pretenses of friendship.—Ex.

Th. Pita Quid* That Wat Uniqua In
Coaxing an Echo.
Mr. Howells in his story of early
travels in Italy describes an inter
esting experience and a “unique"
guide, both of which he encoun
tered in Pisa. The baptistery stands
but a step from the Campo Santo,
and the guide ushered the party in
with the air of one who has held hia
great stroke in reserve until now.
He waited until they had looked at
some comparatively trifling sculp
tures before he raised his voice and
uttered a melodious species of
howl.
While we stood in amazement
the conscious structure of the dome
caught the sound and prolonged it
with a variety and sweetness of
which I could not have dreamed.
The man poured out in quick suc
cession his musical wails and then
ceased, and a choir of heavenly ech
oes hurst forth in response.
There was a supernatural beauty
in these harmonies of which I de
spair of giving any true idea. They
were of such tender and exalted
rapture that we might well have
thought them the voicca of young
eyed cherubim singing aB they
passed through paradise. They
seemed a celestial compassion that
stooped and soothed and rose again
in lofty acclaim.
We were long silent and then
broke forth with cries of admira
tion, of which the marvelouB echo
made eloquence.
“Did you ever hear such music as
that?” asked the guide.
“The papal choir does not equal
it,” we answered with one voice.
The cicerone was not to be si
lenced even with such a tribute,
He went on:
“Perhaps, ns Americans, you
know Moslm 1’cchnorc, the presi
dent? No? Ah, what a fine mant
Well, one day lie said to me here,
‘We have the finest echo in the
world in the hall of congress.’ I
said nothing, but for answer 1
merely howled a little — thus!
Moslm Fillmore was convinced.
Said ho, ‘There is no other echo in
the world.’
“I am unique,” pursued the cice
rone, “for making this echo. But,”
lie added, with a sigh, “it hns been
my ruin. The English have put mo
in all the guidebooks, and some
times I have to howl twenty times
a day.
“When our A T ictor Emmanuel
came here I showed him the church,
the tower nnd the Campo Santo.
Said the king: ‘Pfui’”—here the
cicerone gave that sweeping out-
ward motion with both hands by
which Italians dismiss a trilling
subject. “ ‘Make me the echo!’
“I was forced,” concluded tho
cicerone, with a strong sense of in
jury in his tone, “to howl half an
hour without ceasing.”

Huggad Him In Appraalatlan.
One day when the rehearsal was
over an hour earlier than usual I
was waiting, my forenead pressed
against the window pane, for the
arrival of Mme. Guerard, who was
coming to fetch me. 1 was gazing
idly at the opposite footpath, which
is bounded by the Luxembourg rail
ings. Victor Hugo had just crossed'
the road and was about to walk on.
An old woman attracted his atten
tion. She lmd just put a heavy
bundle of linen on the ground and
was wiping her forehead, on which'
were great beads of perspiration.
In spite of the cold, her toothless
mouth was half open, as she was
panting, and her eyes had an ex
pression of distressing anxiety as
she looked at the wide road she had
to cross, with carriages and omni
buses passing each other. Victor
Hugo approached her, and after a
short conversation he drew a piece
of money from his pocket, handed'
it to her; then, taking off his hat,j
he confided it to her and, with a'
? uick movement and a laughing 1
ace, lifted the bundle to his shoul
der and crossed the road, followed
by the bewildered woman. I rushed'
downstairs to embrace him for it,,
but by the time I had reached thei
passage, jostled against De Chilly,^
who wanted to stop me, and de- 1
scended the staircase Victor Hugo I
had disappeared. I could aee only!
the woman’s back, but it seemed to |
me that she hobbled along now)
more briskly.
The next day I told the poet that
I had witnessed his delicate good'
deed. “Oh,” said Paul Maurice, his
eyes wet with emotion, “every day
that dawns is a day of kindness for:
him.” I embraced Victor Hugo, and;
we went to the rehearsal.—From!

bitterly away.
