at length we tried Dr. King's New Dis

McClure's For April.
McClure's for April is fairly stunning
in its effect. ' The first of a series of
articles on"The Enemies of the Re
public," by Lincoln Steffens, which
will consider the mis government of
states, takes up Missouri and gives the
readers a shock he will not soon for
get. It is almost paralyzing in its re
lentless array of fact and logic concern
ing corruption as a custom, a system,
a revolution in government.
Ida M. Tarbell follows close with an
account of the a.leged ' Breaking up of
the Trust" in her "History of the Stan
d <rd Oil Company." She gives the re
sults of legislative investigations and
court procedings against the Company
which forced it into publicity and reor
ganization.

Vividly Described.
The reporter from whose account of
n lire the following Is quoted must
himself, says the representative of a
rival journal, have been in great dan
ger of being consumed by the fire of
his own eloquence:
"The water seemed to spur the lire to
wilder deeds. The flames and the
Binoke rolled higher and higher, and
the scene became luridly, awfully mng
nlflcent, beyond tottering words' power
to paint. It was a canto of Dante's
•Inferno' acted In all Its fiery pomp
and splendor. Banners of flame would
now be waved out by dark smoke
bands, then ten million curling little
pennons of the fire would hiss and
flutter, then vanish, and a great reeling
tower of. smoke, whose darkness was
Stabbed and spangled with flames and
sparks, would fill the buildings, grimly
shoot back from reflected surfaces a
crimson greeting, and up in the far
off sky the outglistened stars turned
pale for shame and the moon through
the drifted smoke glowed like a bowl
of blood."

county shows that some of those of
former days could make contemporary
sportsmen look like IJO cents either
as shots or as raconteurs. "Mr. Cal

"says that the wild pigeons were so
plentiful one summer that frequently
when they would alight on a tree it
would bend down to the ground with
their welgfit. He went hunting one
day, and seeing a fine lot of pigeons
In a tree he hitched his horse to one
of the limbs and fired and killed 300 nt
one shot. The rest flew away, and as
soon as the tree was relieved of their
weight it straightened up, carrying his
horse with it, and the poor brute had
to hang there until Tate could go home
and get an ax and cut the tree down."

India Rubber.
Few articles seem more strangely
nnmed than India rubber. It gets the
"rubber" from the first use to which
It was put—that of erasing pencil
marks by rubbing. Nor should It be
associated with India. The tree was
first mentioned by an explorer among
the Mexican Indians three centuries
ago, and the first account of the sub
stance occurs in connection with Co
lumbus' visit to Haiti on Ills second
voyage. Most of our present Importa
tion comes from Brazil. But Colum
bus and those explorers who followed
him were searching for a short passage
to India, and they supposed that the
land they discovered was India. The
name India rubber is therefore a per
manent sign of their mistake.

WASHINQTON LETTER.
(From our Regular Oorretpondent.)
Washington, March 2(», 1904.
Editor Press:—
Congress, as well as the Execu
tive, has had many difficult and
perplexing questions to contend
with, and it has required much
tact, wisdom and patience to meet
them. Many of the problems have
been solved; others have been post
poned to a more convenient season;
while a few remain to vex political
parties. On the whole legislation
has proceeded with commendable
rapidity, and with caution. It is
extremely difficult to introduce
new measures and transform them
iuto laws, or indulge in any ex
perimental legislation, in the face
of a presidential campaign. If
many good measures fail the
public will understand that it is
not that they are of themselves bad,
but because Congress hesitates to
expend large sums when it is neces
sary to practice economy to retain
the confidence of the people. The
Post Office bill made slow progress
through the House, and was close
ly scrutinized, a result to be ex
pected since so many Congressmen
still feel sore over the Bristow re
port. Publishers of papers are
anxious that rural delivery carriers
may be allowed to distribute the
fruit of the press. By the close
vote of 8K ts 80, out of a total
membership of 480, the House
agreed to give the Southern Rail
road a subsidy of $142,728.75 to
carry fast mails from Washington
to New Orleans via Atlanta. Chi
cago is to be allowed SIOO,OOO for
mail service in its underground
tunnel system. A general investi
gation of the Post Office has again
been voted down in the House, but
in the Senate the Democrats have
given notice that they propose to
assume an aggresive attitude in
favor of an investigation. The
proposition to give a steamship
company $45,000 a year to carry
the mails to the island of Tahiti,
"a pin head in the Pacific," has
been rejected. At the close of
yesterday's debate, the Post Office
appropriation bill passed the House
to the great relief of Republicans.
The great Chinese question will
soon occupy public attention.
The Exclusion Treaty with China
expires by limitation 011 the 27th
of December. As China has form
ally denounced the treaty a new
one will have to be formulated
which will be acceptable to both
countries. It is claimed that many
great employers of labor are in
favor of admitting the Chinese,
and that a new exclusion treaty
has no chance of again being rati
fied. It is already proposed to
import some 40,000 Chinese iuto
the canal zone of Panama to dig
the big ditch, which can hardly
be constructed without their aid.
AVe spend millions in missions for
the conversion of the Chinese.
What stultifications to say th ey
may be good enough for heaven but
not good enough for the United
States.
There is still much controversy
and indecision in the House over
the proposed impeachment and
trial of Judge Swayne of Florida.
It is feared that if a trial is begun
it may continue for a long while
and postpone the adjournment of
Congress. And there is doubt
about the verdict. Since the
charges against the Judge have
been given to the House by the
com ui ittee he should either be
vindicated, or found guilty. It
would be ungracious and inequit
able to legislate him out of office
without an investigation. The
Judge has filed a brief in which he
denies the charges.
