UNCLE SAM'S BIG DAILY. ;
BO W THE CCNGRESS'ONAL REC
ORD IS PRINTED.
fad Copy Sent in by Memberg-A De
scription of the Many Elements that
Enter into the Labor of Its Produc
tion.
From the Washington Pott.
Among the dally publications of the cap
ital ciV the Congressional Record has a
verv fair clientage and a wide circulation.
Ttere are very few of its readers, and very
few even of its hundreds of contributors,
who ever stopped to refleot on the amount
of work necessary to get out one edition
and on the innumerable circumstances and
incidents that occur before its pages are
completed and laid on the patrons’ desks.
The Record purports to fill the everlast
ing “loDg-felt want,” aud in a mild, conser
vative sort cf a way is a competitor of
morning newspapers in conveying to the
people that which transpires in the halls of
congress. It has a peculiar field of its own,
however, and the daily newspapers seldom
kick on their contemporary if the latter hap
pens to have a "beat;” that is, an item that
raid newspapers had failed to print. In
fact, such a thing so seldom occurs that the
oldest correspondent at the capitol fails to
recollect when he was "scooped” by the
Record. This is somewhat surprising, too,
when the force engaged on this government
newspaper is considered.
In many respects the Record is similar to
a large morning dally. Each day’s output
of thought, sense or nonsense, from the
word or wind factory on the bill, is called
an edition. There are contributing to this
edition a recognized force of 832 gentlemen
at the southern end of tho capitol and 88 at
the northern end. Th -y differ from a news
paper force in that they work when they
please and how they please, in addition
to this regular foro there are numerous
individuals in all parts of the
United States who correspond in some de
gree to the country correspondents of a
newspaper. They are ladies and gentlemen
who wish to make themselves heard in the
country and to have influence with their
representatives, aud they send to this great
editorial force of the Record numerous pe
titions aud memorials, which find their
-av, in one form or another, into the
printed document.
It is interesting to note the various pro
cesses used and the matter that enters into
the composition of Uncle Sam’s daily. The
first step toward turning out tho pamphlet
of from twenty-four to forty-eight pages
that finds its wa v to the offices and homes of
10,000 people eaoh morning is taken at the
capitol. There the gentlemen known as
representatives and senators gather, mak
ing public history, which goes day after
day to a critical publlo. The historv-mak
ing is what the Congressional Record de
pends on for its existence. Every word
uttered by one of these gentle
men in his capacity as a public
servant is taken down and repro
duced in the Record. The visitor at the
capitol, acquainted with the noisy methods
of doing business that usually prevails in
the House, is puzzled to loaru bow accurately
and in detail the proceedings are reported.
If they watch closely, however, they '*ill
see, iu the thickest of the commotion, and
where the noise is the loudest, one or two
quiet-looking gentlemen witii note books in
hand. These are the official stenographers,
whose nimble pencils catch every worst as it
drops from the lip* of the congressmen.
They ere first of the small army who daily
aud nightly labor to produce a verbatim
record of what takes place iu the two houses
of congress.
Tho s enographers or official reporters
are not the only ones who turn in “copy"
for this work. Generally when a statesman
has a speech to make he takes time to pre
pare it, and has it written out in full. Here
the stenographer is saved a good deal of
labor, as the original copy is turned in to
the printer. That is, the printer is sup
posed to get the original copy, but in many
instances he does not. The speaker is al
lowed by some rule of common consent or
immemorial custom to revise his speech,
aud in exercising this privilege the Record
many times proves the friend of the c m
eressman. Oftentimes the speech delivered
by a congressman ill the House of Repre
sentatives or iu tho Senate chamber would
not meet exactly the vie ws of that con
gressman's constituent. By a little
judicious revision, however, expressions
can bo toned down and warped opinions
straightened until the reader of the Record
is made to admire the orthodoxy of Repre
sentative So-and-so.
This habit of congressmen sending tbeir
own copy to the printing office is not par
ticularly admired by those who do the
mechanical work of the Record. If the
copy were subjected to the scrutinizing eye
of a city editor before it entered the com
posing room it would be an improvement iu
the system. As it is, the matter comeo to
the printing office in every kind of shope.
Economy in the use of paper is one of the
practices, aud much of the copy is written
on both sides of the sheet. This is not par
ticularly pleasant to the foreman, Mr.
Pearson, who must put it into !he shape
that well-regulated printers demand. The
other day one hundred pages or so of an
army and navy report were embodied in
the speech of a noted senator. The speech
was turned in with the printed report ac
companying it, both sides of tho page occu
pied with the printed matter. Here was a
job. The report could not be cut and dis
tributed among the printers, as that would
have destroyed one-half tho copy. There
was nothing left for the foreman to do but
to set men to work copying the matter on
the reverse side of the printed page. Re
cently another speech came iuto the print
ing office with a long article clipped from
Harper's Weekly. Mr. Pearson, the fore
man, solved this difficulty by sending to a
newsdealer for an extra copy of the paper,
and with the two was able to furnish the
matter to the printer in proper shape.
If the speeoh makers up on Capitol hill
could secrete themselves in the composing
room of the Congressional Record, and
hear the remarks m ide when their copy
reaches the eighty-two printers there at
work, they would tie a little more careful in
editing the material they send in. Asa gen
eral thing the original copy is typo written,
hut there area few senators aud representa
tives who insist on writing out their re
marks with pen or pencil. These are they
who make the printer’s life a burden, and
cause the atmosphere of the composing
Uoom to assume a bluish tint. It
u a chapel secret at the gov
ernment printing office, where the
Record is published, that the worst copy
comes from Senator Gibson of Louisiana.
Senator George of Mississippi does not
wri.e a copper-plate hand, and truth com
pels the statement that more than one
Primer has boon kept back in his piecework
vmiie worrying over the senator’s copy,
“on. Amos Cummings, in addition to being
a congressman, is a newspaper man and
practical printer from away back, but he
forgets how he used to struggle with bad
copy when he is preparing his matter for
the Record. Mr. Cummings confine* him
self to one side of the paper, but when he
begins a line at tho upper left-hand corner
of the page it is likely to end at the lower
right-hand corner.
All this copy, good, bad and indifferent,
pretty type-written reports from the steno
graphers, "inserts' 1 and quotations from
printed matter, congressmen’s speeches re
vised, interlined and badly written, comes
m the course of the afternoon and early
evening, if there is no night session, to th*
composing room, on the second floor of the
government printing office, on North Capi
tol street. There is a free of eighty-two
compositors, with a foreman and numer-
who get it iuto type.
The type is placed on galleys and proofs
“a Bn ’ wnicll are SBnt to a large, quiet room,
where ten men, some of them gray-haired
in the business, enter on the work of detect
mg and marking error*. These are the
proof-readers. Five of these men read by
1 that is, they have someone read the
original oopy while he reads the printed
Proof, and both watch for errors. Five
others, known as silent readers, read the
proofs for eense. They are not watching so
much for typographical m stakes as they
are to see that the matter reads connectedly
and expresses the author's idea. Then there
are two carefully trained men who revise
the corrected proofs.
The printing from stereotyped plates cast
from the type is a process comparatively
familiar to everybody who reads newspa
pers. The magnificent Hoe press is put in
motion shortly after midnight and 8,500
folios of thirtv-two pages are turned off
each hour. These foil s are correctly num
bered and are taken up by a force of twen
ty-two women aud five men, who arrange
them in complete editions, run them
through the stitch mg aud cutting machines,
fold, wrap and qpdreas them, leaving them
*ll completed for the mail wagon, which
backs up to the door about 4 o’clock each
morning.
During the long session of the present
congress there were printed over 12,000
pages of th# Congressional Record. The
session was eighteen days shorter than the
corresponding long session of the Fiftieth
congress, but produced 1,193 more pages
in the Record. This gives some idea of the
amount of talking done since Speaker Reed
took up the gavel.
CAN TiLKOSLY TO HI3 BROTHERS.
A Man Whose Tongue is Tied Even In
the Presence of Hts Wife.
From the Stew York Sun!
Danbury, March 7.—A man who has
conversed with only two persons in his life
lives in Danbury. Re is John Pratt, an in
dustrious and well-to-do farmer, who, in
spite of his remarkable affliction, has kept
himself in obscurity for inauy years, and iu
the sixty odd years of his life has spoken to
no one except his two brothers. He has
gone to jail in preference to speaking a sin
gle word, and he would not, could not utter
a word in the presence of a stranger or even
his own wife to save bis life. Yet he has a
voics as strong and vocal faculties as per
fect as any man’s. Some strange power
binds bis tongue in another’s presence, an
Influence which is said to be due to his
mother’s antipathy to at
the time Pratt was born.
A few days before Pratt’s birth his
mother quarreled with the elder Pratt, and
then she vowed never to speak to him again.
The child was thought to be dumb, for all
through his obildhood he never spoke a
word, and until he grew to lie a youth
his tongue was tied. Then one day he spoke
to nis brothers, but try as he would he could
make no sound in the presence of others.
To one brother, William, he took a partic
ular fancy, aud he would converse with
him freely, and at tho approach of any one
but the other brother, he would stop in
stantly, and nothing could induce him to
continue. Even his wife has never heard
his voice, nor did his first wife, who died
twenty years ago. The courtship was car
ied on through ttie brother.
Pratt wav working in the fields one day
when a half dozen sturdy young farmers
approached him with the determination to
foroe him to talk. Pratt throw down his
hoe, and in five minutes they retired, as
badly whipped a lot of young men as ever
were seen. Pratt has always retained his
remarkable strength. Once he was arrested
for some trivial offense, and the justice be
fore whom he was brought threatened him
with a term in jail if he did not reply to
his questious. Pratt remained silent and
received a term of thirty days’ imprison
ment. He was subsequently released before
his time expired.
Years ago Pratt caught a man named
Taylor hiding behind a fence trying to hear
him talk. He promptly dragged him out
into the road and gave him a sound thrash-
ing.
Pratt was arrested in Danbury this morn
ing for emptying a charge of buckshot into
a farmer named Morrow, and though the
shooting is believed to bo accidental, he
can give no account of It to the court, and
refuses to answer questious even through
his brother iu the presence of a court official.

An Incident Which a Cape Cod Cap
tain Tells.
From the Boston Traveler.
The practice of kidnaping or "sbang
haieing” seamen appear# to have fallen into
innocuous desuetude. Bailors are too com
mon in these days of steam craft to oblige
master mariners to man tbeir forecastles
through the treachery of land-sharks.
In the days of the California gold craze
every vessel sailing into the Golden Gate
was almost sure to lose its crew to a man
through desertion. It was tho same in Aus
tralian ports when fortune hunters from
all parts of the globe swarmed to the Bal
larat und other diggings.
Woe betide the poor devils frequenting
resorts along shore in those days if they
drauk too much or found tnemselves alone
with the harpies who dealt iu human flesh
and blood. Nobody oared whether the vic
tim. hoisted over the fall like a bag of meal,
was drunk, drugged or beaten Into insensi
bility. When he came to bitnself he would
be miles aud miles from land, with a three
or six months'voyage ahead, and nothing
left for him to do but make th# best of his
situation and obey orders.
An old Cape Cod sea captain was talking
on this subject recently and related a little
circumstance that came under bis own ob
servation. His ship had beoD loaded anil
lyiug in San Francisoo harbor for a month,
waiting for a orew.
An offer of liberal wages failed to induce
a single foremast hand to ship for a voyage
to Liverpool, aod as a last resort he offered
a shipping agent a bounty of SIOO a head
for any mau he put aboard.
That evening his orew was completed,
and with the assistance of boarding-house
runners and ’longshoremen the ship was got
under way and put to sea, the captain,
mates and steward running her short
handed until morning.
When day broke the captain thought it
well to look his men over. Most of them
bad slepc off the potations, and five of them
staggered to the deck, when called, in a
very shaky condition. Four of them proved
sailors and the fifth was a grocery clerk.
Hearing nothing from the other four he
went below to investigate.
The first one he looked at was a China
man. Bucket after bucket of water was
dashed in his face without avail, and, when
at last he was dragged on deck, it was dis
covered that he had bean dead several day*.
The other three wsre aroused by the racket
and came creeping up the narrow oompan
tonwar. Imagine the captain’s surprise at
three full-fledged cowboys.
He says he shall never forget tho aston
ishment and dismay with which they gazed
aloft and at the dreary waste of water,
stretching away on every hand. Luoklly
their kidnapers had deprived them of their
weapons or there would have been mutiny
then aud there. Before they saw land again
all three had become fair sailors.
They had one weakness that made life a
burden to the cook, an old darky. They
hud a fashion of converting the halyards
into a lariat and lassoing the "professor”
whenever he stuck bis bead beyond the
galley door.
