Some National Capital Chatter

0ds snd Ends Gathered at Washington Many Bright Sayings 'Escape the Sombre Congressional Record.

(V RODERICK CLIFFORD.) (American News Service) Washington, April 0. "Senator Daniels, of Virginia; la a delightful companion and a most entertaining talker," remarked Representative Gardiner, of New Jersey, today to a party of friends who were discussing the work of the distinguished Senator from Virginia. , : : k ' "The last time I saw the Seifator," continued Mr. Gardiner, "was Just before he was taken ill. Our conversation was on the subject of superstition. I had Just said that in my opinion, none of us was free from that trait when Senator Daniel straightened himself In his chair and remarked, 'I have no superstition whatever, but I refuse to sleep in a room numbered 13!" Was Time to Move. Many of the bright sayings and remarks of the members never get into the Congressional Record for the reason that they are not spoken in debate. "A few years ago," said one of the official reporters, "the House was in a turmoil, so to speak. Business was being transacted, but not in a very satisfactory manner. Nearly every member seemed to have a grouch, and the chair experienced difficulty in maintaining order. While half a dozen members were clamoring; for recognition. Representative Barney, of Wis

consin, came over to where I was standing and remarked to a colleague: Hell! It's no wonder the House can't do business today , - : " 'Why, what's the matter? asked Mr. Harney's colleague. "'Matter? Why, Just look at tho calendar. Today is Friday and it's the 13th. Hopkins, In the chair, has red hair, and he has the gavel In his left hand. It's me for down town.' ' A Mistaken Idea. "If those responsible for legislation earnestly desire to make a saving in public expenditures it would be an easy matter to do so by calling a halt In the practice of authorizing commissions to investigate every fancied abuse brought to the attention of Congress," said Representative Goldfogle, of New York, in 'commenting on reports made to the House and Senate by special commissions. "The public bas an idea that if something is wrong somewhere, all that is necessary Is to brine the matter before either the

House or Senate, and straightway a commission must be appointed with a fat appropriation to spend in the employment of clerical help and the gathering of data that will prove a 'cureall,... .rtV.,.; vr, , "And what does it . all amount to? Some years ago Congress authorized the appointment of an immigration commission to Investigate the subject. The commission went abroad, obtained lot of material, which cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, and made a report to Congress with some recommendations. And what have we to show for it? - Why, everything contained in the report of the special commission - was known to us. and the Department having the subject in charge had ample authority and money to furnish the information. But then, if the , Department had done the work there would have been no glory nor junket, and the newspapers would have given It but scant mention. "Last session Congress gave the president the help of a tariff board, but this is not enough. In the eyes of some members who now want to enlarge the powers of ; the board by changing It into a large commission, with Increased powers. The first thing; we know some one will come along with the suggestion that we Appoint a commission with authority to formulate legislation for Congress to enact, and thus do away with the appointment of committees of the House. This would be a great scheme to further curtail the power of the Speaker." : Did Something Drop? . "The postofflce officials seem to have heard something drop, for not

a word have we had about increasing the postage rate on second class mail matter for some days," said Uoyd of Missouri, speaking of the sudden change t hat has come over those who have been demanding an increase in postage on magazines and periodicals. "I am inclined to accept the sto

ry." said the Missouri senator, "that

this agitation of a deficit was for ef

fect. It must be evident to any j thinking business man that' the great bulk of . first class mail matter Is traceable to the advertisements displayed In the magazines, periodicals and the large Sunday editions of the daily papers. It is the advertising that brings business to the postofflce. The profit of the first class mall, I am confident, more than offsets any loss in the carrying of second class matter. "The deficit. In tl)s postofflce In my Judgment, is due to other causes than second class matter. The sentiment of the country is against an increase in postage, and no one knows this better than do members of the house." Chance for All Creeds. "I learned something today that I believe will be of Interest to almost everybody, and especially to applicants for the post of chaplain in the sentative Frank Clark, of Florida! "I received a letter from a constituent

saying he had heard of such a vacancy1 and requested me to ask for his appointment. I called upon the secretary of war, to file the application, when the secretary asked me to what denomination my friend belonged. I answered, 'Episcopalian.' 'Sorry,' the secretary said, ' but the vacancy belongs to the Methodists.' He then told me that the chaplains were equally divided among the different denominations, so that all creeds may have an equal chance in the army. The vacancy belonged to the Methodist church, so my candidate was placed on the waiting list." This Law Is Good One." . "No law has been bo productive of general good as the pure food and drug law, and the officers of the department of agriculture are deserving of the nice things said of them for their strict' enforcement of this law for the protection of health," said Representative Beall, of Texas. "Let any one read a record of the cases made by the inspectors of the agricultural department in the prosecution of offenders against the pure

food law and be will begin to doubt if there is any pure food preparations on the market," added the Texas con

gressman. , Why there is hardly any articl of food sold ' that Is not adulterated. It would seem from the re

cords of the inspectors. The abuse

Is so general that I have been think

ing that perhaps it would help matters to amend the law. by making ft

an offense to adulterate the adulterants used by the manufacturers."

The Horses of St Mark The horses of SL Mark were taken from Chios in the fourth century by the Emperor Theodoelus and placed, in the great hippodrome at Constantinople, whence they were taken by the Venetians In the year 1204. Venice and Constantinople were bitter rivals In trade, and. largely through Venetian Intrigue and diplomacy the fourth crusade was turned from its original purpose into that of the capture and practical destruction of the splendid city on the Bosporus, thus" making it possible later on for the Turks to establish themselves on the continent of Europe. It was during the sack of the city by the crusaders that it was despoiled of its famous horses by the Venetians. New York American.
