THE COLUMBIAN, BLOOMSBUfaffl. WASHINGTON From our Regular Correspondent. Washington, D. C, March 30, 1908. Hon. John Sharp Williams, the clever minority leader of the House, executed a coup d'etat last week in a speech in which he called the Republican: to account for their evident policy of "passivity." He said he had waited until the pre sent time to see some evidence of an intention to transact business which the people were demanding, but, finding none, he had reached the conclusion that the time was rine to foroe the hand of the Repu blicau party. ' An old-fashioned Democratic filibuster, comprising objections to requests for utiani mous consent, demands for a roll call at every opportunity, and the raising of points of no quorum, will be resorted to during the remainder of the session by the minority in the House, unless the Republicans bring m an employers liability bill, a campaign publicity bill, bills re moving the duty on wood pulp and print paper, and an anti-injunction measure. Mr. , Williams declared that, up to now, the Republicans had had smooth sailing ; that he did not want the country to think the minority was trying to assume responsibility for legislation. He did not desire to appear as trying to coerce the majority, until the Republicans had absolutely "de monstrated before the country that they did not intend to do anything at this session." "I have finally come to the conclusion," he said, "that the Republican party has for gotten to do auything. It bas be come the party of negation and of passivity, and, so far as I can see, has no idea of doing anything. It is plain now that, without some method of parliamentary coercion, you are going to be deaf to every demand of the country." Apparently there is no abate ment in the discussion among law yers in Washington and at the Capitol of the Supreme Court de cision in the Minnesota and North Carolina cases. The so-:alled ad vocates of State's rights contend that the decision ignores the eleventh amendment to the Consti tution and ignores State courts, nullifying recent State statutes that have fixed passenger rates, etc., while the other side opposes this view with the positive contention that the Supreme Court seeks only to confine its reasoning to constitu tional limits and interpretation. There is also much speculation as to what the court will do with the fine of $29,400,000, which Judge Kenesaw Mountain Laudis, of the United States District Court of Chicago imposed last fall upon the Standard Oil Company of Indi ana, for rebating. That remarka ble fine has not yet been paid and the president of the Standard Oil Company is reported to have said that Judge Landis would be dead many years before it would be paid. Representative Thomas M. Bell, of Georgia, Democratic "whip" ot the House, advocates the nomina tion of former Senator and Repre sentative Charles A. Town? for the Presidency by the Democratic na tional convention, and he desires that Georgia send an uninstructed delegation to the Denver conven tion. Mr. Bell declares that Mr. Towne can carry as many votes in the West as Mr. Bryan, if nominat ed, and could carry votes in the East which Mr. Bryan could not. "As a constructive statesman and orator," he says, "Mr. Towne has no superiors and few equals. He would make a campaign that would go down in history as one of the most aggressive and brilliant in the political annals of our country." When the President's message to Congress, last week, was read: in the House the declaration that the time had come for a revision of the tariff elicited hand-clapping on the part of Democratic members, and Democratic approval, also, was giv en, by way of pounding desks, to How's This?1 We offer1 One Hundred Dollars Reward for any case ot Catarrh that cannot be cured by Hall's Ca tarrhCure.

The Authors' and Composers' Copyright League, in an effort to have copyright laws passed favora ble to authors and composers, sent a large delegation to Washing ton to appear before the joint pat ent Committee of Congress, at its meeting in the Library of Congress and Senate reading rooms the latter fiart of last week. Four bills two avorable, and two in opposition to copyright advocates are pending in Congress, and the delegation will strive to influence the members of the Patent Committee to intro duce the bill protecting composers and authors. In Washington every member of the Senate mourns the untimely death of its youngest member, Wil liam James Bryan, the handsome Floridian who had endeared him self to all in the few weeks during which he actually occupied his seat in the Upper House. The opinion prevails, voiced by President Roose velt, that the Senate has lost a promising member and the country a valuable servant in the person of the man who died on Sunday. Two Senators Penrose of Pennsylvania and Tillman Jof South Carolina are quite ill, and the question on the lips of all Senators is "Is there yet to be another taken ?'' A Story of Playerfolk by one of Them Those who are curious as to what goes on "behind the scenes," and what sort of people the playerfolk are when their make-up is off, will be delightfully enlightened by read ing the complete novel in the April Lippincotfs "They Also Serve; The Story of a Farewell Perform ance," by Virginia Tracy for no truer picture of theatrical life has ever been penned. The author is herself a successful actress and the daughter of another Helen Tracy, now with Maxine Elliott. The second of Joseph M. Rogers's remarkable series of articles entitled "Educating Our Boys" is even more interesting than the first, in the March issue. Another note worthy offering is "The Worrier," by George Lincoln Walton, M. D. This is an article supplemental to a series of five on "Worry and Allied Mental States," which have just appeared in Lippincotfs. There are also the following brief but meritor ious articles in the department "Ways of the Hour": "Concerning Degeneracy," by George L. Knapp; "Boys' and Girls' Secret Societies," by Ellis O. Jones; "Half Disabled Folk," by J. Madison Taylor, M. D., and "The Fat of the Land," by "W. P." The short stones are A uentie- man Ranker," by Molly Elliot Sea- well: "The Affair of the Uptown- ers" by Edmund Vance Cooke; "The Dream." by Mabal Nelson Thurston; "Poppies and a Sleep," bv Sarah Chichester Page; "Brink- er,"byElfrid Bmgbam; and' When Miss Lucy Hadl the Measles," by Lucy Copinger. These are all fully up to the Lippineott standard which is a very high one. The poetry is dainty ana attract ive, and ''Walnuts and Wine" is as funny as ever. The Apnl Ltpptnc0tri js a cnar- acteristically good number; and magazine readers' who have not given this interesting publication a trial of late will make no mistake in buying it. HOW TO HAVE PRETTY nails. Cure Mil at He Exercised bill It' Kusjr If You'll Only Try. It'B easy to have pretty nails If rou'll only half try yourself. And In an Imaginary conversation with one who knew, a girl writer In the "Delineator" tella the secret: "First they must be washed and crubbed and I think one must learn how to wash the hands as well Da learn how to do anything else. I never saw hands really washed bo fore with the brush all over them, until they glowed. "After that with scissors and a file she trimmed the nails Into shape. She likes them rounded, not point ed, and Just long enough In the mid dle to balance the half moon bo low. She warned me against cut ting the cuticle as that makes the flesh grow thicker. "Her plan Is to take an orange stick and push the flesh back from the nail, getting under the edges so as to Icosen the skin. But this must be done gently, "When one Is rough about It the young nail Is Injured and this brings those white spots on the nail which are so ugly. "As mine were being done for the first tlmo, she had to cut some of the bang-nails, but she said I would nev er have any more if I used the orange stick every day, and always rubbed the flesh back from my nail Whenever I used a towel. "Orange stlrks nre better than oteel because they do not bruise. You can get a whole bunch for ten cents. She told me, too,, that she always kept a piece of lemon on her washstand, to take off stains. The lemon also whitens the hands when It is rubbed over them." Hints on Making CnUes. Flour must be dry and sifted. Good quality of granulated sugar must be used. The fruit well cleaned and thor oughly dried or the cake will be heavy. Break each egg Into a cup before putting In bowl, as a bad one might spoil many. Tins used for rich cakes must be lined with paper. Lay a double fold of paper over the bottom of the tin cut to tho proper size, and let that which lines the sides come about two Inches above the edge of the tin. See that all ingredients are weigh ed out or measured and placed on the table. This saves time. The heat of the oven for baking should be understood. Small cakes, such as buns, etc., should be baked In a hot oven. Large fruit cakes must be baked In a moderate oven. Gingerbread must be baked in a slow oven, as It Is liable to burn. To test cakes when they are suf ficiently baked, press the top of cake with the fingers; If no Impress ion Is left, the cake Is done. I'nlquo Trado for Women. A clergyman's widow up In Maine has supported herself and three chil dren, sending two boys to college, by converting feather beds into pillows. Hunger and pride drove her to do ing something, her great need aris ing about the time the spring and mattress superseded the classic feather bed. Maine, It appears, Is ot was, full of feather beds, the pos session of a number of them having once gauged a family's social stand ing. And every fluffy particle In those fat ticks was plucked by hand from the breast of a living goose, then washed In ammonia and soap suds and dried In the sunshine In muslin bags fluttering In the wind. This woman has bought as many as twelve of these fine pre-revolu-tlonary beds In one house, paying $1 per pound, having, of course, first tested them. The beds weigh from 10 to fifteen pounds. She sells the pillows for $5 per pair, and has proved herself a live buslnes woman ty making from $40 to $50 a week at times. Jurors for May Court.

Additions to the Cabinet are like amendments to the Constitution the fewer the better. The latest suggestion for enlarging the Cabi net comes from Representative Rausdell, of Louisiana. He would create a Secretary of Transporta tion and Public Works, who would look after all matters relating to railways, waterways, and high ways. It seems as though there were never so many suggested ad ditions as at the present time. First, Dr. Wiley gets his friends to propose a Secretary of Public Health and suggest that he might be a good man for the place. Some body else catches the idea and wants a Secretary of Forestry. Another wants the Commissioner of Educa tion made a member of the Cabi net. One wonders where the end will be. One of the first acts of Congress in .Washington's adminis tration was the creation of three executive departments, the heads of which were to be known respec tively as the Secretary of State, the Secretary of the Treasury, and the Secretary of War. The same year the positions of Postmaster-General and Attorney-General were created, though the former was not con sidered a Cabinet officer until 1829. In 1798 the Secretary of the Navy was added. The Cabinet was en larged again in 1849 by a Secretary of the interior. From that date until 1889 there was no addition, but in that year the Secretary of Agriculture took his seat. The last addition was that of Secretary of Commerce and Labor in 1903. Ad ditions, therefore, have been few and far between. Congress has been wise enough to let well enough alone. Only as absolute necessity demands it should addi tion be made. If certain men like Dr. Wiley think they must be "taken care of," let places for them be found outside the Cabinet.

We have heard of the operations of a slick trio who are traveling over Pennsylvania. They are two men and a women. They visit a town and then they visit a saloon. All of them order drink stuff, and they have a good time. Finally the woman becomes helplessly in toxicated, and there is a great time to keep her hidden until she can be assisted back to the hotel without attracting too much attention. "La ter one of the men turns up and tells the saloon keeper that the case will be settled for $50.00. Few sa loon keepers care to have such an affair made public, and it is said dozens of them have bitten and giv en up fifty dollars. Later the prec ious three depart for another town to repeat.
