The latest scheme of the repub-
lican leaders is to take advantage
of the popularity of ttio Nicara-
gua Canal project to push the
Ship Subsidy bill through the
Senate—they have only to issue
3rd era to have anything put
t trough the House at short notice.
The scheme provides for combin-
ing the two accepting the amend-
ment to the Subsidy bill, offer« d
by Senator Clay, of (in., provid-
ing for the construction by this
of tjio Nicaragua
Cmal, and then to inform the
democratic Senators that unless
they vote for the two in one the
Nicaragua Canal project will not
be legislated upon at all. Sena-
tor llanna is credited with being
the father of this scheme, and it
is further said that he claims to
have promises from a number of
southern Senators that they will
vote for the bill so amended.

Senator Turner, of Washington,

scheme is really to be carried out

the last hour of the session and
an extra session should ensue
through failure of an appropria-
tion bill, in standing here and
calling the attention of the coun-
try to this outrage ugon a citizen
of the U. .S."
The bill appropriating So,000,-
000 for the St. Louis Exposition
has been favorably reported to the
House, and Speaker Henderson
has promised that its hall be vot-
ed upon,'which is equivalent to a
promise of its passage.
Representative (iriggs, of <>a.,
made the Post Office appropria-
tion bill the text for a speech full
of common sense against the ten-
dency on the part of Congress to
increase the salaries of Feder-
al employes. For instance, the
following, the truth of which every-
one must acknowledge; "I under-
take to say that there is not an
employe of the government, who
devotes his whole time to its ser-
vice, who does not receive great-
er pay than he would for like ser-
vice in private life. There is not
not an employe in the government
service today who did not better
his or her condition financially
when ho entered it. There is not
who, if he could better his
condition in other service, would
not resign tomorrow. Then, why
this paternal interest in govern-
ment employes? All of them are
free men and women, and of full
age. Why should we make them
wards of the nation? How is this
fatherly interest of legislators, bo
lately aroused, in what teems to
me a cancerous growth eating its
way to the very vitals of the
American body politic, to bo ac-
counted for?" Mr. (iriggs an-
swered the last question by citing
the growth of associations of var-
ious classes of government em-
ployes, organized ostensibly for
other purposes but actually used
to lobby for a Congressional in-
crease of the salaries of their mem-
bers.
Among those nominated to be
brigadier generals in the regular
army were twocaptains—J. Frank-
lin Bell, r.ow tnwing-i,, lhc Philip-
pines as a brigadier generul of
volunteers, whose promotion
jumped him over 1,032 officers
and Leonard Wood, now serving
as a major general of volunteers
and military governor of Cuba,
whose promotion jumped him
over 507 officer. Fred Grant,
another one of them, who is serv-
ing in the Philippines as a briga-
dier general of volunteers, oo we
his appointment to his name
rather than to any distinguished
service he has rendered as a vol-
unteer officers. Ho had been a
failure in every civil occupation
he had tried and it was felt by
some of his father's old friends
that he ought to be provided witii
a life-time job, where the salary
was certain.
( ion. E. S. Otis, who is in Wash-
. * *n be much die-
mgton, i su.v^
gruntled because he had been led
to believe that, ho and not (it n.j
Nelson A. Miles, would be nomi-
nated for lieutenant general of the
army. It is said that one of the
reasons why Mr. M Kinley took
the unusual course of asking the
Cabinet to decide by ballots which
of the major generals snould be
nominated for lieutenant general
was his desire to allow Otis toj
think that his nomination had
been prevented by a majority of
the Cabinet. It is said that (His

be compulsorily retired by Mr.!
McKinley when lie reaches the age
of 02, which will be next August,1
and that the place will then be
given to him.
