The Floods of Eloquence Will Soon Be Let

Completely Primed “For B’ar.”
{Special Correspondence.] *
Washington, Dec. 10.—It makes the
unskillful laugh, and it does not make
the judicious grieve, to consider how
■many flue schemes which were meant to
be exploited in this very new congress
have already been knocked intoeverlast
ing smash. How many buncombe reso
lutions slurring the president, how
many fine strategems for putting the
Democrats in a hole, how many horri
bly patriotic ultimatums to England,
how many floods of torrential eloquence
about the new state constitutions dis
franchising the negro in the south, and
how very many flamboyant harangues
about the increase in the bonded debt
have been suggested by the young and
frowned down by the old 1 Besides all
this there are at least the average
amount of disappointment about chair
manships and committee appointments
and quite an army of young fellows

to get places and are left. The anomaly
of it, however, is that the old fellows
were also pretty full of schemes, and
several Democrats arrived with blood in
their eyes and announced determination
to make relentless war on President
Cleveland.
Manipulations.
The situation reminds me amusingly
of our early Republican state conven
tions in Indiana, when Hou. George W.
Julian and his gang came with a pocket
full of resolutions radical enough to
make Garrison and Phillips shudder,
and Hon. Schuyler Colfax and his came
with another set not so radical, and up
from Evansville, New Albany and
Madison came three other sets of fol
lows with mild resolutions which
“would not drive away Kentucky
trade.” There was a redhot wrangle, of
■course, and a compromise committee cf
three appointed, and the last thing the
northern Indiana member thereof heard
when he went into the room was,
■“Don’t you let those Ohio river fellows
manipulate you. ” All we can say today
is that so far the radical element is
“manipulated,” and if the old fellows
tell the truth it has already been settled
that the south ind the negro are to be
left severely alone and that the horn of
the tariff is to be exalted, with finance
on the side.
I was present the other day at the
first full meeting of a large western
state delegation, and a rather boyish set
they were. T.wo things were plain at
the start—they were afraid of a news
paper man and were more or less vexed
because they had- expected to proceed on
arrival to a prompt discussion of princi
ples and party policy and found instead
that they were in the midst of a redhot
fight for the offices. I asked my first
■question of the youngest man in the
delegation—and a most innocent ques
tion it was whereupon he looked
around timidlv. hesitated nearly a min

courage and asked me what part of a—
city I nvea in and wbat rent 1 had to
pay. The whole .delegation tfeen fell to
talking about their experience in hunt
ing houses, and with such animation
that no other subject could be squeezed
in. I ventured to ask another member,
a lad of perhaps 30 years, if he consid
ered that the delegation had any par
ticular leader, and it evidently scared
him seriously. I have seen a big school
boy caught slipping a note to one of
the girls, who carried it off with more
dignity. He finally intimated to me
that he and his colleague did not care
to talk just now, as they feared being
misrepresented. Now, if he had been
“fly” in politics and understood his
business, he would have talked with ef
fusive warmth and yet not said any
thing that could be misrepresented.
Young Blood.
The worst disappointed men, at least
so far as I hear the talk, are silver Re
publicans from the far west. One and
all they evidently expected that when
they got here there would be a free and
general talk and that the “unanswera
ble arguments” they would present
must have some effect, but they found
their eastern copartisans away beyond
that. Everywhere east of the Mississip
pi the Republicans have taken the tone
of treating the silver movement as a
dead and gone affair, and when the en
thusiastic westerner on talking
about it he simply gets the laugh and
is told that it is no more a live issue
than the war or slavery. It looks, how
ever, as if the young fellows had got
first blood on the offices. At the start
the old members were almost unani
mous for General Henderson for clerk,
whose 20 years’ service in the house
had gained him many strong friends.
He was long an influential member of
the committee on rivers and harbors,
and in the Fifty first eon."’.? ’..'ns chair
man, which made him strong with men
whose district-- needed appropriations.
The young fellows, however, leaned to
ward Major McDowell, representative
at large from Fenusylvtuiiu in the Fifty
third congress, and in no long time a
great combination of states was formed,
and the officers were practically elected
before the caucus met. Major McDow
ell is 50 years old, a printer by trade
and a banker by profession.
Some folks are mean enough to say
that the Democrats who are denouncing
Cleveland so furiously are those only
whose last chance at the pie counter is
exhausted, but of two of them, and
thej' are the hottest, it must be said
that they have been consistent from the
start, and with them is joined a Popu
list who is notorious if not famous.
Last February Representative Bailey of
Texas declared that his first work in the
Fifty-fourth congress would be to draw
up articles of impeachment against the
president, and more than one good law
yer says that on one of the points he
brings forward he can prove a clear vio
lation of law. He stiil declares that he
will make a fight on the diversion of the
gold teceived tf.m bond issues to the
payment of c\. ent expenses, end on
other acts which be thinks stretched the
law to the breaking point. I observe
that the .conservatives have already be
gun to talk of Judge Bailey, as we call
him, as a “crank,” a “freak,” and a
“young man who has been puffed up by
receiving more honors .than he could
bear at his age. ”
Look Ont For Breakers.
Senator Tillman of Louth Carolina
intimated the first day his title was
clear that he expected to devote himself
during the first year of his service to
the massacre of the president. The in
ference is that he will assail Mr. Cleve
land on all possible occasions and on ev
ery possible pretext; that he will shqw
his whole foreign policy to be pusillani
mous, his bond issues illegal, his diver
sion of the borrowed money to current
expenses a high crime and a misde
meanor, and his proposition to retire
the greenbacks to be a compound of the
worst heresies of John Sherman and the
bankers. If he does one-quarter what he
has promised, there will be fun. The
third man who has announced his inten
tion to pulwarize Cleveland is Hon. M.
W. Howard, the new Populist ’ from
Alabama. Impeachment is what he
proposes, and if he and Judge Bailey
work together on this line, it will sure
ly be the most astonishing case of poli
tics bringing extremes together that
this country has seen for many a year.
If Mr. Howard is not belied, he has de
clared that he will get his ridiculous
book printed in The Congresional Rec
ord as part of one of his speeches and
that he will purposely give occasion for
that Tennessee member whd has threat
ened him to do his shnotiug right in the
house. The world had ita laugh when
Punch advertised “Important Advice to
People Contemplating Marriage,” and
when the advice was applied for, return
ed the monosyllabic reply, “Don’t!” If
it were worth w’-ile, I should certainly
urge the same advice upon Mr. How
ard, for it is as yet no two to one bet
that he will not be impeached and ex
pelled himself.

non uua so xar done and chiefly tne
pension office. It is really surprising
how many fellows came here redhot for
ah investigation of that office, and it is
still more surprising that their warmth
has cooled down so rapidly. , 'there is
“a heap of human nature in a mail, ”
and so it was only natural that when
they found the pension officials quife
willing to bo investigated—rather anx
ious, in fart—their zeal should moder
ate. Nevertheless the sentino-”t is v?rv.
strong in favor of still moic ii'jti:?
measures to the veterans.
And here is another point on wh’ch
Senator Tillman promises to be. i-nvage
ly explicit. He has a form fi.ihlo I.k cl
figures to prove that of the yi*'« W.000,-
000 or thereabouts paid out in i. uioas
the south has paid at least S6OO-. (100,000,
which is more than the amount of
northern capital invested in southern
mines and manufactures. Be flatly de
clares that the south hasn’t received 3
per cent of the pension money, in which
he is very bad.y mistaken, but just the
same he wiil probably make a great row
about it. So far as I have talked with
the new men, they are all in favor of
being very liberal toward the veterans,
and Representative Stone of Pennsylva
nia lias a very complicated proposition
for issuing bonds on a system somewhat
like that, of life insurance to make the
veteran perfectly safe for the rest cf his
life and pur the matter beyond all con
tingencies of future legislation. At
least that is what the advocates of his
scheme say it will do. Incidentally it
may be added that Mr. Stone is in favor
of expending $100,000,0C0 per year on
internal improvements, and that the
canal advocates generally into quite en
thused over President Cleveland’s recent
appointment of a commission to study
and report on the subject.
I am a little surprised at the number
of the new men'who are quite familiar
with Washington. Several of them have
been here as government clerks, and at
least two were educated at Georgetown
university. Os the former clerks none
has had a more diversified career than
Hon. A. M. Hardy of the Second Indi
ana. His first dash after coming out of
school was with the noble army of re
constructors who fancied they could
build up stable republican governments
on the ruins f the .Confederacy in the
gulf states. He was barely old enough
to take an active part in Mississippi
when the fighting campaign of 1875
came on, and he literally “saw sights.”
He fled after the so called “Kemper
country massacre,” obtained a place in
tiie pension. office here as a martyr, was
sent to Paducah, Ky., on business, fell
in love with an Indiana lady, married
her, ,located there and now returns to
congress. J. H. Beadle.

THE spinner statue, signed, cast and
paid for through their efforts. For near
ly two years the statue has been com
pleted, but thus far the grateful women
have been unable to place it- before the
public, owing to the fact that congress
has not been willing to cease talking
long enough to pass a joint resolution
designating a site. It is believed, how
ever, that the present congress will take
the necessary action and that the statue
will ere long be placed on one of the ap
proaches or buttresses of the treasury
department.
Tbe statue represents the former treas
urer standing in a characteristic atti
tude with his familiar old cloak hang
ing about him, his hand thrust into the
bosom of his coat and his hat on his
head. The face, like that of Lincoln, is
homely, but strong and full of character.
General Spinner was born in Mo
hawk, N. Y., Jan. 21, 1802, and was of
German descent. He was elected to con
gress as an antislavery Democrat in
1854, but was an active Republican from
the formation of the party. He served
six years in congress and was treasurer
of the United States from March, 1861,
to July, 1875. In 1862, when many
clerks in the treasury enlisted in the
army, Spinner suggested that women be
employed in the different departments.
The proposal met with opposition, but
Spinner gained his point.
Miss Jennie Douglass, a powerful
girl, was the first to be employed, and
she so plainly demonstrated that women
could trim bank notes as well as men
that others of her sex were given posi
tions. As a result of General Spinner’s
act nearly every important country in
the world now employs women in its
civil service. Before his death General
Spinner said that the fact that he was
instrumental in opening the departments
to women gave him more real satisfac
tion than all the other deeds of his life.

REED’S QUICK RETORT.
A Characteristic Story of the Favorite Sou
of Muine.
Mr. Reed has appointed as one of his
private secretaries Charles W. Small of
Portland, sfiir'of thff-reporter of the su
perior court of Portland and a grandson
of one <;f the oldest and most renowned
members of the supreme court of Maine.
Shortly after Mr. Reed commenced
his career a*, the bar he,was arguing a
case before Justice Small, and in the
course of the argument, in a colloquy
between bench and counsel, the justice
expressed his opinion as to a certain
phase of the case. Quick as a flash Mr.
Reed said, “You haven’t any right to
express an opinion iu this matter,”
which, coming from a junior member
of the bar to a justice ripe in experience
and years, was a rather bold thing to say.
But the judge saw the force of the re
mark aud allowed Mr. Reed to make his
argument without any further interrup
tions from him. Reed's quick retort
was characteristic of him. People who
knew him as a young man say that he
was never at a loss for a ready reply,
and he was just as bold then as he is
now and perhaps a little bolder.—Wash
