perfectly understood in Washington, but not SO
we'll outside of and at considerable distance
from 1t. This sort of puffery finds larger
market among the members of the House than
OF the Senate. The newest comers are gener-
ally the ones who invest In it. Those who have
served longer have discovered its worthless
ness. Occasionally. Senator takes a turn at
it on the sly, but there is not a man in the
chamber who does not understand the source
and the motive power of every such note of
praise.
On the other hand many of the best men at
the capital are continually abused and grossly
carcatured by 'leading" newspapers, whose
editors have spite against them. This vice
has grown so common with certain metropoli-
tan journals that it is utterly impossible to
base any opinion of public man upon what
you ''read of him in the newspapers" The
praise or blame may be equally undeserved-
may originate from an equally ignoble motive.
The opposition leaders may accept the speech
of one Senator as a defiant notice that il they
intend to burrow their way into power by try
ing to undermine the reputation of the gener-
ais of the war, they will meet with vigorous
antagonsm. 1t will be an aggressive cam
paign Oh the Republican side, not a defensive
one. That great tide of patriotism and princi-

before, bat there has always come a counter

telleCtual stature OF contemporary ledueis, pue
l think 1t will be conceded by nine out of ten of
the most intelligent citizens of New York
party predictions aside-that no abler or bet
ter man ever represented this people in the ma

this with full recollection that Martin Van Bu-
rem. VIM. L. Marcy, Silas Wright and VIM. H.
Seward were among the list of his predecessors
He is a younger man to-day than either of the
gentlemen named were when they first entered
the Senate chamber, but measuring his expert

by his years of life, lit has been very great. His
industry is untiring, his memory wonderful
Although he rarely mingles in the debates, he
is as hard worker as there is in the Senate
and not unfrequently supplements the labors of
the days session by sitting till midnight and af-
ter, doing duty with some one of the several
committees of which he is a member.
1t must not be supposed that Senators be-
cause they are paid alike, all perform the same
measure of service. There is no such equal
distribution of the toll, as of the compensation.
The Senator whose aptitude for affairs makes
itself apparent, and who belongs on the major

There is good deal of fame acquired by
public servants through subtle use of types

The COMING PIANo-STEINwAY Up
RIGnT.-Messrs. Adams X Lucas, 1927
Market street, have recently succeeded
in introducing the Stcinway Upright
Pianos in Wheeling, by the sale Of
several Of those superior instruments to
some of our citizens.
The Upright Piano is, from its small,
compact form and handsome exterior,
especially suited to the boudoir, the re-
caption room and the parlors of many
houses where a Grand or Square Piano
could not conveniently be placed
Messrs. Steinway " Sons nave, after
long and earnest study and experiments,
succeeded in producing Upright Piano
fortcs which are the most perfect lnstru-
mcnts of their class ever constructed
The volume of tone is fully equal 10 any
of Strinway's best Square Grand Pianos,
while the quality is of the most exquisite
and in the highest degree pliabe. The
durability of these new Upright Pianos,
and their capacity of standing in tune, Is
unparalleled in the history of piano max
ing. and even greater than that of the
best Grand and Square Pianos.
Too much cannot be said in favor of
these instruments; in fact, they must b"
seen and heard to be appreciated.
There i no doubt whatever that the
Steinway Upright Panic will shortly dis
place other styles of instruments, and the
Mcssrs. Adams II Lucas, sole agents for
the same. assure us that there is II rapidly
increasing demand here for the same and
that they intend in the future to keep
stock of them constantly on hand.
