How They are Written Up for the
Congressional Directory.
From the Washington Star.
The United States government does not
issue from it* gigantic printing and pub.
listing establishment another work that is
in such great immediate demand as the
Congressional Directory. Ten thousand peo -
pie want the paper-covered result of Mr. \V.
H Michael’s industry, and, like the folks
who want pistols in Texas, they need them
suddenly. Senators and representatives
have hourly use for it, society leaders yearn
for its appearance became it shows what
statesmen buve wives and daughters with
them —no calling list can be made up with
out its aid; compilers of state blue books
and authors of almanacs await its ooming,
ad the general public which is on a visit to
■Washington scans its pages with interest.
the origin of the publication.
Tho first Congressional Directory was
issued in 1837, and was then a little’3 by 5
affair which was but little more than a list
of senators and representatives. Twen
ty-four very diminutive pages were barely
filled even with the large type which was
then so universally used. In those days the
postmaster of the House was the eiltar and
compiler of the document, and as it* prep
aration and publication brought to that
official neither solid reward nor fleeting
fame, but little brain power was used in
its compilation. The man who brought it
out of the darkness was the late Ben: Perley
Poore, whosj duty it became, as clerk on
the joint committee on printing, to under
take the publication of the Directory,
Major Pori e, then a young man, developed
it, added new features to it, and gave it a
p ace among the worlcs of the most select
standard authors.
During the Forty-3ixth congress, when
the Senate became democratic, a reorgani
zation of that body resulted in the appoint
ment of F. A. Richardson, chief of the
Washingt >u bureau of the Baltimore Sun,
as clerk of the printing records, and as such
he compiled two directories.
The work is now done by W. H. Michael,
a Nebraska newspaper proprietor, who was
called by Senator Manderson to the clerk
ship of the Senate committee on printing
ami the labors incident to the compilation
of the directory.
HOW THE BOOK IS CONSTRUCTED.
A Star reporter found Mr. Michael in a
chatty mood an evening or two ago, and
a.ked him to tell the public just ho w the
directory has to be constructed.
“Nothing elaborate about it,” replied Mr,
Mic ael, “but it entails a good deal of work.
The first step after a now congress has been
elected is to send to each of the recently
exalted senators and representatives a
request for a biographical sketch of himself
and the size of the total vote cast for him
self tnd his antagonists. Accompanying
this request is a sample sketch and the infor
mation that the committee on printing, not
having the fear of c ngressmen before their
eyes, had resolved that no man, no matter
how distinguished be was or thought be was,
would bo allowed to tell all he know about
hi nself if he could not do it in twenty lines
of the directory. The limitation was not
set until it had become absolutely necessary.
There was a disposition on the part of many
to transcond all reasonable bounds, and their
lengthy chapters would have made the book
too large to serve properly the purpose for
which it was intended.
HUNDREDS OF LETTERS.
“To obtain the information required
never takes less t an 500 letters, for not 10
per cent, of those applied to send the cor
rect figures relating to their election. New
members always give their majorities, and
frequently endeavor to direct particular
attteution to the fact that these particular
majorities are much larger than any ma
jorities evor given any oue else in the same
district. Some send their majority ami
refer ths compiler to the Secretary of State
for 'he other figures.”
“Does the biographical matter come in
in pretty good shape*” asked the reporter.
“Sometimes,” was the reply. “But very
often it does nit. Frequently tho answer’s
me campaign skeiches from four to ten
pages of reprint, with an accompanying
no.e to the effect that the desired informa
tion will undoubtedly he found in the
pamphlet. In several instances the brief
biographical data called for has turned up
in the shape of four or five columns clipped
from a newspaper a id enlivened by a wood
cut.
THE AUTOBIOGRAPHIES.
“Does it take long to gather the necessary
information 1”
‘ ‘Yes; it keeps me busy all summer. This
w uid not be were it not for the delays. As
toon as a man is elected to a place in the
national leg slature he seems to ba over
came by a sudd n impulse which takes him
away to the mountains, or the seashore, or
to Europe, or somewhere else where hs is
hard to find. The directory, however,
must be out during the first week of De
cember, and it must have all the biographi
cal sketches m it, so the compiler follows
the statesman by letter and tolegram until
the facts called for aru sent him.
“Is there any particular class of men
whose ‘copy’ is clearer and more to the
point than that of any other class?”
“The variety of replies given to tho same
st of questions is almost endless, and but
few new congressmen give just what is
asked for. The clearest replies come in
variably from m9n whose eductiou was
largely received in the printing office; they
never make mistakes. I guard against
errors as far as I pos.-ib'y can, and it ii a
regular practice to send each congressman
a proof of his biography before it is pub
lished. Very few of these proofs come
back unmarked, and quite fretf lently at
tempts are made to add a great deal of
matter which was sent in the first letter,
but which necessarily had to t e loft
out. Frequent and persistent are
the efforts made to refer to distin
guished persons who were the ancestors of
either the writer or bis wife; of course
there is no room in the directory for the
roots and branches of a couple of hundred
genealogical trees, however honorable they
may be. Asa rule, however, the congress
man is modest. Surprised, eh? It’s true,
though. There are a few in whose charac
ter modesty is not the principal feature, but
it is a fact that the great majority of these
men w hose lives are outlined iu the directory
are inclined to midesty in their statements
os to themselves; too modest in many
cases.”
ARMY RECORDS.
“Do those who have military or naval
records seem desirous of having them in
corporated in their biographies?” queried
Hie reporter.
"They do,” said Mr. Michael. “Both
union a i] f ifederatesareparticular about
that. !' ■ evidently proud of what
they and u late war. They are not,
however, . by willing to give the di
rectory the benefit of their full names. Odd,
is i’t it? Very peculiar, but very true.
Most of them will give their first name and
their last, but they seem to have a decided
objection to doing any more than give the
Initial of their middle name when they
have one. Especially is this reluctance—
often a direct refusal —noticeable in
northern and western men; southern men
ire invariably willing to tell it all.”
"Have you found out why?”
, “I think I have,” replied Mr. MichaM.
It seems to bo so becauso a great many
southern men in congress have names of
|iersons who hnvo b on historically promi
nent, and in most instances tho Christian
names were those of these distinguished
anc stors. A large number of the northern
ond western men who were asked for their
middle names refused point blank to give
|nein. A few of the southerners neglected
t 1 send more than tho middle initial, but iu
uo instance did one of them refuse.
Refusing information regarding age.
“There Is another line on which refusals
were not wanting,” continued Mr, Michael,
'a .and that is as to age. Occasionally a
congressman would confess himself to be a
pnche’or, aid would state quite emphat
ically that ho did not desire uis age to be
03 plain in the directory.
Hew long dees it take the government
printing; office to turn out the book? About
four dnys. That means that 235 to 250 pages
Set UP - anJ P rinted from, end

That edition numbers
20,000, and taere is not the slightest dtfti
culty in getting rid of the whole of it.”
EAGERNESS FOR BIOGRAPHICAL DETAILS.
r"t7 OuU conline the first edition," said
.Mr. Mieh.el, ‘'simply to the biographical
sKetcues, ar and would have copies of it on
J of congressmen when the Benate
and House are called to order o. the first
Monday in December. I suppose you will
disagree with me, but it is an indisputable
fact that the biographies are read with
more avidity on that day than on any other.
Ulu members and new ones are mixed up
so as to be lost for awhile, and both classes
refer to the directory to tell them who this
man on the right is or who is he that sits to
the left or in front. Members get to know
each other very speedily through the in
strumentality of those few lines devoted to
each.”
Aa Big|a Man as Lincoln.
From the New York Sun.
For this anecdote the Hon. John J. Van
Allen is authority:
Long Tom Davis of Oswego, N. Y., was a
of unusual and conceded ability, an
ardent republican, an enthusiastic admirer
of President Lincoln, and, during the latter
years of the war, a valuable member of the
New York state legislature. In 1564 be
went to Washington, and while there called
on the President with the intention o£
criticising a certain line of policy, the ex
pediency of which was then questioned by
many patriotic citizens.
Besides being tall enough to warra it the
use of the prenomenal adjective by which bo
was distinguished from all shorter Tom
Davises, he was a man of somber tempera
ment and singular gravity of manner. Life
for him was too short and serious for a
smile; and being, for this among other
reasons, quite incapable of understanding
the character of Mr. Lincoln, he returned
fr. m the capital amazed and pained by the
conviction, which he did not hesitate t o ex
press, that our illustrious President was
little better than a buffoon.
“Why, you greatly astonish me, Mr.
Davis,” said a gentleman to whom he com
municated the impres'ions of the President.
“I thought you were one of his warmest
supporters.”
“Well, I’ll tell you,” was the reply, “just
how he received me, and you can judge for
yourself. Having been introduced to him
in terms most flittering as a stanca repub
lican and efficient member of the legisla
ture, I began to make the suggestions I had
in mind, whereupon the President, eying
me thoughtfully, inquired: “Davis, how
tall a man are you?”
“I replied that I was six feet two inches,
upou which he rejoined: ‘Why, are you as
tall as that? Come, let me see,’ and, back
ing mo against a door, he took a pencil,
marked my higbt on the jamb, and aftdr
ward his own, the two marks being close
together.
“ ‘We’re pretty nearly of a size,’ said he.
‘But, Davis, I think my foot is longer than
yours.’ So he iasistea on measuring foet,
after which he began to discuss our weights
and the size of our chest: and arms.
“In this way, with these trivial compari
sons and conjectures, ho took up all my
time, fully fifteen minutes, until a man
came m who applied for a clerical position
in one of the deDartments on the strength of
having lost a hand in the service of his
country.
“ ‘O, you go and see Seward,’ said the
President. ‘I don’t know anything about
your hand; you may have lost it in a steel
trap.’
“Now,” concluded Mr. Davis, earnestly,
"Dj you think he has the requisite dignity
for so high an office?”
The interview of which the foregoing is a
mere outiiuo seoms deliciously amusing
from the fact that Mr. Davis, putriot aad
statesman that he was, had not the re
motest appreciation of the humor of tne in
cident. The President, burdened and worn,
bowed by his Atlanteau load of rasp risi
bility, and wearied by u long day’s Work,
was In no mo dto go over with Iris visitor
ground frequently traversed before, per
haps m protracted cabinet debates. Per
ceiving that Mr. Davis was a man of nearly
his own build, he found m this topic an
escape from a discussion he dreaded. It
was this ability to momentarily lay aside
his dignity in a laugh or a boyish prank
which enabled Mr. Lincoln to stand up
under his weight of care, ar.d it was this
which render ed him such an enigma to tho
saturnine Mr. D.ivis.
