THE LAST PORK BARREL
IN CONGRESS.
What is a "pork barrel" and what
'la an 'omnibus public buildings bill"
as employed in describing certain
measures in congress'' That question
I has been asked and we know of no
more- elucidating answer than Is pre
sented in a letter to the Standard,
under date of Washington. February
22 last Saturday as follows
" Monday, last, was a red letter day
j In the house of representatives That
was the day when the house turned
itself Into a plunderbund and, in dis
regard of every consideration that
should actuate high-minded men de
sirous of faithfully representing the
people and need6 of their districts,,
'passed a pubic buildings bill that ob
ligates the government to spend at
least 126 643,800, upon some f;85 or 100
public buildings scattered through the
districts of the different men who
oted for It. The great majority ol
the members of the house were band
ed together In this colossal conspir
acy to raid the treasury for public
buildings which thev know are not
needed, and the construction ol which
cannot be undertaken for many
months.
'The public building business In
congress Is a sham Some years ago
he pork grabbers, responsive to the
last faint muttering of their expiring
consciences, mde a tacit agreement
among themselves that the would
not provide for public buildings in
towns where the postal revenues were
not at least $10,000 a year. Even that
limit was utterly Ignored in this bill
and many items are included for vil
lages of population even less than
1000 and of postal receipts less than
(5000 There is no public demand ,
whatever for such a bill There is no
need foi such a bill It comes as neat J
to being pure graft as anything done
under the ro'or of law can come.
The bill was not reported to the I
ho'ise until Saturdav The conspira
tors behind it knew that publicity
would be fatal to it It was called up
for passage on Monday before there 1
had been anv decent opportunitv to
study its iniquitous provisions. It was I
colled up under suspension of the
ru'eB The conspirators knew thai
j they could not stand extended exam

so the; resorted to this trick Under
suspension of the rules, debate is lim
ited to fortv minutes, half of which
time Is controlled by those in faor
of the measure That left but twent
minutes to the few opponents of this
bill in which to discuss its outrage
ions provisions There are 192 mem-J
jlers of the house The bill carries
nearly 400 items Thus effort had
beep made by the committee to sil
ence opposition through the well
known means of "taking care of" the
different members
The opponents of the bill had 2"

DESCENDANTS OF GREAT MEN
NOT ALWAYS GREAT
France yesterday celebrated the
111th birthday of Vic tor Hugo, one of
that country's immortals The smius
of the man of letters has given to Hi
world a number of its great novels.
Hugo was a tremendous influence for
40 years in forming publu opinion
in France
We hear much these days of here.ii
tary influences and writers on eugen
ics repeatedly quote from a Yale pro
fessor who discovered a family all
bad, from great-grandmother to great
grandson According to the rule of
like begets like. Hugo's descendants
6houlcl be leaders in morals and
thought, bur a writer who has traced
the grandchildren informs us that not
one of the children escaped scandal
of a serious nature and only of them
displayed any ability above the ordi
nary. Hugo's elder son. Charles, gain
ed some fame both as author and
statesman and died of apoplexy in
1871 without having brought discredit
on the name of his father Charles
left two children, Jeanne and flcorccs.
but the latter has not reflected credit
on the illustrious name of his err i 1
father A few years ago Georges pe
titioned the French government for
permission to assume the name f
Victor, but the application was indig
nantly refused
Fven before Victor Hugo's death 111
18S5 his grandson had become a
source of sorrow He was dismissed
from the French navy on account of
misconduct, auu then omni"iK cd i
career of the wildest extravagance
He frequently appeared in various law
rourts and attained international no
toriety bv his curious defense in a cel
ebrated case. Georges had been on
I terms of intimacy with the wife of a
French noble, and had indorsed that
lady's account with n Paris merchant
The affair was broken off. aud Georges
refused to pay for goods supplied to I
j his mistress The tradesman brougiit
j suit, and Hugo's defense was that he
j was no longer intimate with the worn
'an and that the amount could not be
collected by law because it was "an
! immoral obligation ' Later Georges
, inatrled the daughter of a wealthy
merchant, by whom he had two chil
dr.'ii, but the alliance ended in the di
vorce courts. Jeanne, the daughter ol
Charles ami granddaughter of Victor
i Hugo, married I.eon Daudet, son of
the great French novelist, but later
secured a divorce and became the
wtfe of Dr. Jean Charcot, the Vntart
tic explorer.
Romance and tragedy also blended
In the life of Adele Hugo Victor's be
loved daughter She married an Fn
lish arm) officer, whom she met al
Hautevllle house during her father's
exile on the island of Guernsey. Her
husband took her to India, and later
to Singapore, where he was stationed.
The officer was given to drink and
while under its influence treated the
daughter of the great poet with the
grossest brutality Eventual!) he d.
veloped delirium tremens and'eommit
ted suicide The bride suddenly be
came Insane and was found wander
ing about the native quarter of Sing
apore. She was taken back ro
France and treated by the most cele
brated alienists of the country, but i
never recovered her reason
Another daughter of Victor Hugo,
the beautiful and charming Leopol- I
dine, was also the heroine of a ro 1
mance that turned suddenly Into dark
est tragedy She married Charles
Vacquerie. a brilliant and talented 1
young man. and the happy pair et
Off on a honeymoon trip They had
kmjgn but a few days of wedded bliss
when they met death together in a
boating accident
Clementine, the natural daughter of
Victor Hugo's nephew . Leopold Hugo,
also had an adventurous and sensa
tional career As a "get rich quick"'
agent, a blackmailer and conspirator.
ahe used the name of Countess Hugo
aB an aid in victimizing credulous
' people in France (lermany and Italy
When last heard of she was serving

her conviction of fraud.

Roads in Deplorable
State at Theater of
Balkan Conflict
London. Feb 26. The operations of
the five armies engaged in the Balkan
war have been brought to a practical
stop by the wintry weather. The roads
i are in a deplorable state.
The daily official dispatches upon I
which the world is now compelled t"
rely for news from the theater of
war repeal the stereotpped statement
"nothing of importance has occurred."
Turk Claim Successes.
A dispatch from Constantinople to
day records that there has been skir-I
mishing on the front of the TchStsJJS
lines by Turkish volunteers who
claim to have met with soem suc
cesses. Thsc must have been of a
minor nature as the Bulgarians earli
er in the week were said to have
withdrawn further to the westward.
Hoads In that neighborhood arc so
bad that the transport columns found
if difficult to keep the troops at tho
front supplied with provisions and
ammunition.

Adnanople Is conflicting The Bui j

Heavy Fighting at Scutari.
The only heavy fighting, except at
Adrianople since the w.-r was re

The Montenegrins are most anxious

that his brother Slavs would insist on

Greek Army Idle.

through of n movement by Turkish
troops In Macedonia showing that
they are not entirely disposed of there
while the failure of the Greeks to
take Jnnina, which is their objective,
is regarded as another ir dlcation that
there is a lot of fight left in the Otto

its blockade of the Albanian const as
