(Special Staff Correspondent of The Evening World.) ‘ WASHINGTON, Feb. 20.—Since the | louse reported the Appropriation Bill for the Legislative, Executive and Ju- dicial Departments on Wednesday, which cut approximately $18,000,000 from the dpartmental demands for proximately $222,000,000, there has heen what might be called a great awakening in the Senate and the House of Representatives. It appears to have come all in a rush, like an epidemic of influenza, and where Senators and Representatives were talking economy in a general way | thirty-six hours ago, scores of them | ) are to-day getting down to thinking about it in detail, Actually there are comparatively few members of the House who have! more than an elementagy kHowledge of the Government, of the methods of | Government, or of the financial con- dition of the Government. A consider- ‘ble proportion of them are utterly gnorant on these vital pvints. The thoughts of a majority of our Repre- sentatives are bounded by the limits f their districts. That is why it is -\lifficult to get thegHouse to take un- lerstanding action as a whole on measures affecting the interests of | lI the people. | REAL LEADERS OF HOUSE SEE| THE DANGER. I am told by men who have been observing the workings of the House for many years that the real work of the body is done by about 10 per cent, of the membership. The House has} 485 members. The public—if it pays any attention to the House proceed- ngs—inay note that the same names appear over and over again in records € debates and legislative manoeu- vres. They are the men of knowledge of the affairs of the body, and they gain their knowledge because the work at the business of government, These men appear to be really interested in the serious ptedic- ament of the Government as to its financial status, and not a few of them are honestly set upon re- ducing the expenses of the Gov- i ‘i PHONE CONGRESS WAKING TO NEED U, 5.

In addition to these, many member who do not usually thera selves until the time co vote, ind then according party onsiderations, have begun to tiene yn where the Government min out unless expenses are iuced. .
