4 JOURNALISTS INFLUENcE FORTY
YEARS. AGO.


a story told by Charles T. Congdon,
of the New York Tribune, In his = hem
iniscences' OF a Boston editor, Richard
Haughton of The Atlas, also illustrates
the personal influence Of the journalist
in the old Wing days.
In 1910 Daniel Webster thought the
Wings should nominate him for Presl-
dent. Mr.. Haughton, believing that
Mr.. Webster could not be elected il
| nominated, favored the choice of Gen.
Harrison. 1t was bold act to come out
against the great man in the city where
he was idolized. But the editor was
capable of doing more than that-he
! dared
To beard the lion in his den,
The Douglas in his hall.
| Taking proof-sheet of the article, in
which he indicated the course he IN
tended to pursue, he called on Mr.. Web
ster. The great man read the article
and flew into passion. He ordered the
editor out of his house, but the COM
mand was not needed. Waiting for Mr..
Webster to become calmer, Mr.. Hough-
ton set forth tae political situation.
"You cannot be President, Mr.. Web.
ster," he said, with editorial plalnness
of speech; "but you can have an office
quite as important and honorable; you
can be Secretary of State. You know
how it will irritate your friends in Bos
ton. I do not ask you to say to them
that you approve of it, nor that you dis
approve of it. merely ask you to say
nothing"
These were brave words to speak tt
Daniel Webster. for he was then tn.
dictator of Massachusetts politics. Blu
they were effective In persuading hin
that silence would be the most dignifiet
course for him to pursue.
Great was the commotion in Stat,
Street the next morning, as Mr.. Webste
walked down it with more than usua
dignity. "Mr Webster, have you see,
the Atlcs? ' "Mr. Webster, have yo1
read that shameful article?" cried on
and another of his friends.
II have not seen the Atlos," ne said
bearing himself magnifcently; "nor d
I care to see it. 1 suppose that the ed
itor expresses his opinions, as hs has
right TO do"
Thus the great man, needing the ed
,or's frank suggestion, took himself on
Of the way. He became Secretary {
State, and thereby was enabled to d
is most serviceable act to the republic
.he negotiation of the Ashbnrto
Treaty.

CLIM4TE FOE COSSUMPTIVES.

Some fifteen years ago we published
an article on the subject of localities Of
consumption. The general idea for
which we contended was this, that warm
climates hasten consumption that an
inseparable attendant Of consumption,
under all circumstances, was debility.
The healthiest OF us feel the facilitating
effects of summer heats. And how an
invalid is to be strengthened by what
debilitates healthy man, we cannot
understand. Consumptive people do
not need the warm, damp, vapor-laden
atmosphere of Cuba and Florida. but
the cold, dry, still air of high ATTITUDES.
A man i'll consumption will more certain
" get we'll in Greenland than in the
West Indies.
From the details furnished from many
sources. a member of the Massachusetts
Medical Society has prepared paper.

damn places originate and aggravate
consumptive diseases, and that restor'
alton and exemption must be found III

reasons sea voyages and sea coast anc

pernicious effect upon all persons whose

The Presidents Message.

President Arthur's first message
has been favorably received by the
people. 1, is1a business document
notably free from political disc ussion
or partizan bias. 1t contains of all
messages since the late war, fewer
references to that and consequent t
events. No part is especially devo-
ted to reconciliation measures between
the North and South or to the pro
lection of the newly enfranchised citl-
zens in their rights and privileges.
1t is taken for granted that the divis-
ions are 1t last healed, that all classes
Of citizens are safe under the laws oi
eur common. country.
With this view the message is devo
ted to thebusiness affairs of thecountry
The peaceful relations between this
and foreign countries are treated Of,
reforms in the civil service are recon-
mendsd. also the abrogation Of inter
nal revenue on all articles of domestic
manufacture except spirits and tobac-
co, the increase OF the rrmy and navy,
the suppression of pslygamy is strong
ly recommended, the prosecution OF
the star-route frands and the appro-
priation of the proceeds Of sales Of
public lands to the education Of the
illiterate masses of the South.
The President opens his message
with fitting and graceful Tribute to
the memory Of his predecessor. Speak
ing Of tae illustrious dead he says,
To that mysterious exercise of will
which has taken from us the loved
aud illustrious citizen who was but
lately the head of the Nation, We bow
in sorrow and submission. The mem
ory Of his exalted character, Of his mo-
ble achievements, and of his patriotic
life, will be treasured forever as a sa-
cred possession of the whole people.

47th Congress.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.-The assem-
bling of the first regular session of
the 47th congress had the effect OF
drawing vast number of visitors.
By II o'clock every seat in the gal
leries of the house of representatives,
was filled.
At noon, Clerk of the House Ad-
ans called the body to order, and
announced the opening of the ses-
sion. Roll call showed 290 repre-
sentatives present; the absentees

ination by Mr. Robson, Mr. Randall

Cook and Ladd were appointed tel
lers.
The roll was called and the result
was as follows: Whole number of
votes, 295; necessary for . choice.
143 For Keifer, 148; Randall, 1923;
Ford, 8. Those voting for Ford

chusetts; Hazeltiue. Jones, of Texas

fer WAS escorted to the speakers

The work of swearing in the mem.
bers was commenced, but Alabama
being the first state called, Mr.. Jones
of Texas, objected to the oath being
administered to Joseph Wheeler, OF
Alabama, and asked that he be com.
PEELED to stand aside.
The speaker stated that the mat
ter would be postponed until the
oath had been administered to the
other members.
Mr.. Randall contended that the
gentlemen could not be compelled
to stand aside until the members tc
whom there was no objection were
sworn.

ter.
All these gentleman stood aside.
