X WASHINGTON LETTER X
X X
The President lu-inj? away from the
city this work there is but little politi
cal news. The railroad hill has pn.ed
the Senate and will pass the Houc the
cumiiiK week. This till is not satis
factory to any faction, but it is claimed
as an administration victory. The
Arizona and New Mexico statehood
bill and the postal lank bill will likely
go over until next season, as July is
now fixed upon as the adjournment
date.
The BalliiiRor-Pinchot committee
ia ready to make its report and the
general opinion is that it will divide
on political lines and that means
there will be no censure of the Secre
tary, but with this report is the fur
ther general impression that the Sec
retary will get out of the Cabinet at
an early date. I'inchot has just re
turned here from a trip abroml to see
his former chief, the ex-President,
and he has some interesting informa
tion, and probably promises, given
him by this world conqueror, but
what he has is not for the puglic at
this time.
In memory of those who fell for
the lost cause and w ore the Confederate
gray, memorial services are held at
Arlington, the National Cemelcry
the first Sunday in June of each year,
There ore buried there 2G5 Confed
erates who died in prison, hospitals
and on battle fields in the vicinity
of this city, and a tomb marking
the spot of the remains of 10,000
unknown, and the martial strains of
Dixie will echo through the vales
w here less than a week ago resounded
the notes of the boys in blue on Decor
ation day. This is a tribute to the men
who wore the gray, and is largely
through the suggestion of President
McKinley, who advocated the sharing
with the South in the care of the graves
of the Confederate soldiers. Congress
appropriated money and authorized
the gathering of those remains into
one plot at Arlington, which has been
done, and this is laid off into a circu
lar plan, divided by four paths
running to the center, in which it is
inytended to erect a monument to
these men and their chieftain Gen.
llobt. K. Lee, who at one time made
his home on this very property.
The Postmaster General is still
making an effort to discover the cause
and if possible a remedy for the
growing deficit which confronts his
department.. Since he failed to have
newspaper postage increased, he has
turned his attention to the abuses
of the franking privilege, which he
finds a source of immense loss to the
Government, as the users of this form
of postage frank anything from a
typewriter to a Jersey cow. Mem
bers are now engaged in their annual
cleaning up of their matters here
and are sending home great quanti
ties of stuff under the frank, on which
express or freight should be paid.
but the thrifty Member considers this
privilege one of the perquistitos of
the office that he does not propose
to miss
Speaker Cannon has not been so
much in evidence m the legislative
program since the House bowled over
him and his Rules Committee. Leg
islation has gone on and with much
more- satisfaction to the people, and
the hope now is that the protest has
been so strong that reforms will come
and stay, so that it will not be neces
sary for a new member to gt t the con
sent of the Speaker before he intro
duces a bill or asks for its consideration
The Speaker has truly been the auto
erat of the House, and backed bv his
Rules Committee was in absolute
control of the entire legislation of the
country.
