"Thirty Years in the Senate"


Senator Anthony has been warmly congrat-
ulated on the receipt on telegrams from New
port announcing his reelection to the United
States Senate for six years from the fourth Of
March next, which viii make thirty years of
continuous service. The only other Senator
who has been thus honored and who served
for five successive terms, Thomas Hart Benton,
has left his record Of Thirty Years in the Sen-
ate, and it is to be wished that the graceful
pen of Governor Anthony could record his OK
perience, which commencing on the 4th OF
March, 1859, will include the most interesting
and eyentful period Of our national history.
Daniel Webster was elected four times to tie
Senate, but only served two full terms resign
ing in the middle Of the other two terms.
Charles Sumner was elected four times and
served continuously for three full terms and
part OF another term-twenty-thre years
Henry Wilson was elected four times and
served two full terms and parts of two other
terms-twenty years.
William r.. King, of Alabama, was elected
i've successive times, but did not serve out his
last term, as he resigned in.1844, when elected
Viee-President. Mr.. Benton did not really
serve thirty years, as he took his seat on the
10th of August, 1921, the day on which the
President made proclamation that Missouri
was State, and served until March Sd, 1851.
He was candidate fer reelection for a sixth
term, but was defeated on the fortieth ballot.
He then served one term in the House Of Rep
resentatives, but was defeated by the Know
Nothing candidate when a candidate for re-
election, and he was then defeated as a candi-
date for Governor of Missouri.
Nathaniel Macon, of North Carolina, who
was one of the purest and best of men, was
successfully elected for eleven times to the
National House of Representatives, and then
three times elected to the Senate, serving in
both branches of Congress from October 24th,
1871, to December 10Th, 1828-thirty-seven
years of continuous service.

River, is closed altogether so far as business is
concerned and notice posted to that effect. At

for incompetency. Some few mon are en-
ployed at other piers along the North and
East River fronts, but business is comparative
ly suspended. Streets in the vicinity of st.
Johns Park depot in Hudston street are
crowded with trucks waiting to be relieyed OF
their loads, and a number of Italians are at
work in place of the strikers. Many of the
truckmen had to take their loads home last
night and return to the depot with them this
morning. Representatives OF large firms were
calling all day at the depots and complaining
0f the aynaDEa lnCurrAH nv them nv OIL

Eight hundred ,longshoremen employed by

still. They have formed protective associa-
ton. No trouble is feared unless Italians are
employed in their places,
