The Congressman's Bane.
"Gideon,' the racy Washington cores

Gideon" the racy Washington cores
pondent of the Chicago Times, says:
The congressman's bane is the young
man who 7'wants a position" Hunting
governmental situations for needy women
and INDECENT middle-aged heads of families
is dreary task enough. But It has It's
bright side in the fact that it furnishes
bread and butter to those who might 9th
erwise be sore pressed for even the bread
alone. For the inane young man, how
ever. whose only ambition is routine job,
where the work is moderate and anxiety a
minimum, the congressman or cabinet Of
fetal cherishes but scanty regard. The
desired situation may, indeed, be looked
I'D. Home influence has its weight with
those in authority in Washington, and
when shallow youth comes here with his
yalise crammed with Endorsements from
local diguitaries elsewhere, the person to
whom he is consigned generally gets him
"a place." But it is the ruin of the youth.

ment male, the one who has settled down
to the listless round Of governmental no.
body, to the young men of other localities
who aspire to similar enervation. lie IS a
business dummy and social corpse. BY
the time he has dawdled through dozen
years as a department servitor, he is de-
void of manliness, and as incapable of act
ing and thinking for himself as sawdust
stuffed doll.
Let me show how men of brains and en-
ergy view his business. Several years ago
a slab sided, awkward printer boy from
Maine found his way to Washington in
search of IAN easy place. y Tom Ewing
was then secretary OF the interior. de
was also uncle of our gawky place hunter
TO him the youngster naturally applied
for assistance in getting the desired sltua-
ton. This was the encouraging answer he
received from Ewing:
Il will not get you place in any OF the
departments. Moreover,if you find place
and 90 to work will use all my influence
to have you dismissed. | want you to get
out of Washington. | am not going to
have you made into limp and helpless
nonentity if | can help it. Go anywhere
else, go to the dewitt you like, you shan
stay in Washington"
This inspiring counsel drove the printer
youth back to Maine again. Had Ewing
found him the desired place" he would
to-day be tying tape around bundled docu-
ments, or sticking offcial stamps on some
body else's letters, in one of the depart
ments, an inert human rou line machine, -
But bis unces sensible brusqueness was
the nephew salvation. The name OF that
discouraged young applicant was James Il
Blaine, present speaker Of the house OF
representatives.
