WASHINGTON LETTER.
Our
C, Mar. 31.1906.
Washington fog and dust still
involve the rate bill. The meas-
has reached the point where
the whole question is involved in
th right of judicial review and
in this provision if any where will
be concealed joker that is to
make the measure acceptable to
the railroads. For the benefit
of the uninitiated, it may lie said
the now is for an
agreement to an amended bill
that will provide for a more or
loss broad court review. The
object of the friends of the
measure will be to frame this
review provision s- that i will
not interfere with the obvious
lent of the law and make the
delays, possible under the bill
more than offset any benefits
that the measure might confer.
Naval officers as a whole are
pleased over the sanction of the
Naval appropriation bill by the
committee, not only because it
gives a little short, of
for the execution of the
plans that the department
has on hand but because it also
provides for at least one battle-
ship that will rival the English
in size and effect-
There is a provision in
the bill for one battleship of not
over that will be all
that the Navy department
could desire.
While the work of defensive
naval construction is going on,
there is appropriation made also
for a new dry dock that will
equal the Dewey in size and will
be retained in American waters.
The prop headquarters of
this dock will be Solomon's Is-
land in the Chesapeake, but
though-this spot affords unusual
facilities in the way of deep water
and a good channel, the dock,
once it is be avail-
able for use anywhere on the At-
coast where there is water
deed enough to submerge it and
whore the exigencies of the
call for its presence.
It is estimated that an agree-
on the statehood bill is in
sight. This is more or less
cheering news, not that it makes
any vital difference whether or
not the territories that have been
waiting years fur admittance to
the Union are admitted just at
this time or not, that agree-
foreshadowed has the show

Farmers North
There is do grander work than
the of rural life to
its true dignity, usefulness and
prosperity. Let the present
false order of things end. Let
not your industries taxed to
death in order that great for-
tunes shall be built up for other
people. Demand of your
that your industries shall
be treated as others, equal as to
benefits and equal as to burdens.
To do this you have got to be
more careful who represents you
in the Senate branch of your
Legislature. One term to
vice in the House has taught rue
that there is not any use of send-
men representing the man-
the agricultural and
commercial interests to frame
good laws, to be killed in the
Senate by lawyers nominated
and elected by railroad and
influence. If we desire
