FUN IN CONGRESS.
Dear Daily Democrat: My favorite
loafing place is the Congressional li
brary, but this afternoon 1 went to see
n-hat was going on in the House,
'i'licy had the omnibus appropriation
bill under consideration and the par
tictilar part under discussion bad to do
with expenses around the building.
There has been an elaborate turkish
bath system for the use of members of
the House. This 1 am told was much
- used in the old boose period when
many members after a "gay" time had
to be washed and cleaned up for duty.
In these temperance days there is al
most no use made of them but the old
employes are all on the payroll. One
member said there was a man for
- every spigot and two for every tub
and door, lie moved that their sal
aries be reduced from $12(10 to 600
per annum. Another republican said
there would be little use lor them the
next congress anyway. Kverybody
laughed, while a democrat called out
that we bathe at seasonable hours
and at' home. The discussion related
largely to the unwasliiug habits of the
incoming democrats. This was re
ceived in great glee by the democrats
for they were the coming people and
they did rather enjoy these llings of
those taking their leave. Finally it
was moved that the bathroom be
closed and all its fixtures sold. It was
urged by a republican that they would
he no use for the next two years, until
they came back when they could be
replaced if needed. One old bald
headed democrat brought down the
house by suggesting that it was not
necessary to sell the present fixtures
and buy new as these could be
rinsed. It was seriously urged as un
wise to more than close the bathroom I
and discharge the employes as the '
fixtures would bring nothing as old
junk. However, it was decided on a
very close vote. Chairman could not
decide in call for ays and nays so they
were called to stand up and there
were 29 yeas and 28 nays. Then tel
lers were called for and the members
all walked between them to be count
ed. Forty-four yeas and 43 nays.
Many came out of the side rooms
to be counted. Another entertaining
item was the proposal to increase the
salaries of the members clerks $500
each. One on the republican side
made a sensation in his own party and
g.'t great applause from the ilcnm--er.tfi
by saying: "This will be regard
ed as a personal grab and our last
grab as we are only to lie here llie
next sixly days." However it was
pretty evident that many of the dem
ocrats wanted the increase nud wanted
the republican Mouse to pass it and
gel the bhm". To heir that discus

in St. l'atrick's Cathedral .which 1 at
tended, also all the other sessions in
Lincoln Hall. The first day a motion
was made that Miss Willard be heard.
It was lost. The second day the
motion was renewed anil barely car
ried. When she appeared on the plat
form the priest who presided grudg
ingly gave her place but no greeting.
Whin she opened her mouth she had
them and when she closed the presid
ing priest jumped up anil gave tier ins
baud and all went lovely. Up to that
lime no woman's voice was heard in
that convention. After that break of
the ice many women were heard win
made tine talks.
