Murphy, of the Western Federation of Miners, consulted together to-day with reference to protection of the union miners from alleged aggressions of the militia.

Most Prominent Men In the House Are from Conntry Dlstriets. Washington Letter in Boston Transcript. It is notable, as preparations for the work of Congress are nearing. how adequately the farmer and his interests are represented. In spite of all populistic anxiety over the dominance of the capitalistic classes. The great cities, where corporate power uscally resides, furnish a dismally disproportionate number of the men who "do things." The expectant speaker of the House is from a country district. Mr. Cannon, In fact, takes pride In his farmer phrases, and all his ilustrations and personal interests savor of a rural bringing -up. He is the most powerful single personality in th popular branch of Congress. The chairmanship which Mr. Cannon resigns perhaps the most important in the House that of the committee on appropriations, falls to James A. Hemenway. who comes from one of the most rural districts in Indiana. It embraces the famous county of Posey, also Pike, Gibson and Spencer. Hemenway himself comes from the village of Boonvillc. The House committee on Foreign affairs has long been presided over by Robert R. Hitt. of Mount Morris. 111. He is a native of Ogle county, and represents one of the richest farming districts in the Mississippi valley. Other men whose names are familiar to the public and that is a fair test of influence In Congress are the following-named representatives of essentially country districts. Payne, of Auburn. N. Y., chairman of the ways and means committee and floor leader of the party; Richardson, of Tennessee, leader of the minority; Littlefield. f Maine; Tawney, of Winona. Minn., an independent spirit of the committee on ways and means, who may. perhaps, be a member of the committee u rules in the coming Congress, and Hepburn, of Iowa, who is a patent influence. This list might be greatly multiplied. Few of the more conspicuous figures In public life in this generation have come inm the great metropolitan centers. McKinley, Blaine. Reed and Dingley were all sent by rural constituencies. The New York city delegation emphasises the story. Those In the last Congress were: Storm. Fltsferald. Bristow. Hanbury. Wilson. Lindsay, l.essIcr ot naval scandal fame;, Creamer, Gold-

fogle. Swann. Sulxer (better known). McClellan. Belmont. Douglas and Huppert. The delegation from Chicago, with the exception of Mann and Henry Sherman Boo telle, is notoriously weak. Its other members were Feely. Wilson, Foster, McAndrewg and Mahoney. There are exceptions, of course, to the rule that city member docs not count for much, but they are not overpowering. The farmer has no reason to complain of his share of representation in Congress-, either in Senate or House. Country congressmen are much closer to their constituents. A country district acquires a personality, like an old regiment, while a city district is so many blocks marked off at each enumeration time; the city boss assigns his candidates to these squares of patchwork oftentimes when they have little identification with district life. The country congressman sends out much more government "'literature" to his district than is sent ut by the urban congressmen. Thousands of residents of the great cities do not know the number of their district, or who their congressman Is; In the country every farm r has more or less of a personal acquaintance with his congressman, through the receipt of packages of seeds and tariff speeches. The conntry districts, as a result of this familiar acquaintance with their congressman, keep him in Washington long enough for him to work up to a position in the legislative organisation where he has some power. The cities, passing around the honor as a reward to members of political "machines ' are practically not represented. No man is allowed to remsin long enough, even if he has ability, and it must be admitted that in a majority of instances the city member is no match for his rural colleagues in education or native talent. The best intelligence of cities is not represented by the men who are picked out by the politicians to come to Congress, while in the rural districts a nomination Is still something of a prize. The salary and allowances seem more nearly adequate to the rural aspirant for fame than for the successful urban lawyer or business man. This under-representation of the great cities shows itself when currency reform and similar issues come to the front; the strongholds of business do not possess the strongholds of legislation.

A FAIR CLAIMANT VERY ILL. Mrs. Fair's Mother May Sot Lire 1 n t i I the Case Cornea to Trial. New York Herald. Mrs. Hanna E. Nelson, mother of the late Caroline D. Fair, who. with her husband.

Vanderbllt, Jr., the defendants in the suit, have the right to examine Mrs. Nelson at this hearing The purpose of the action, which la brought in the name of Mrs. Nelson, is to set aside the agreement which she made in California last Auguat, by which ahe f iv d 1125,000 and general releases were given of all rights of the relatives in tho estates of Mr. Fair and his wife. Mrs. Nelson is now st Caldwell. N J . at the home of her daughter. Mrs. Joshua Leonard. She has been subject to attacks of gastritis for months and has been under the care of Dr. Edwin K. Bond and a trained nurse. Her condition is said tv be precarious, and. as she is the most material witness in the case. It is thought that if her evidence is not taken now sne may be unable to give lt after the suit is brought to an issue. The Truth About "the I saal Crlase. Chicago Record-Herald. In V2 the number of lynching for criminal assault in the Cnited States was nineteen, and for attempts to commit It eleven. Assume that all the victims of these I y Ilchings were all Southern negroes. Add to them the eight negroes legally hanged for such crimes In the South In that year. The total, thirty-eight, probably represents fairly the totsl number of assaults on whits women committed by negroes in the South, as it ia seldom that the black criminal escapes death. The. negro population from Delaware to Texas is about 8.090,000. Therefore. In round numbers, one negro out of ... .. is cbsuTeabie with the irlaii In Cook county. In the grand Jury year Just ended, sixty-three persons of all race were indicted for criminal aaaault or attempted assault. That is, roughly, one to 30,000 of Cook county's population. In other words, the Southern negro makes a showing almost seven times better than that of the population of Chicago. o Peaehes In Brown. Martinsville (Ind ) Reporter. Mr. and Mrs W. H.
