LabOrs Of "a Congressman.
Letter to Milwaukee Sentinel


There is practically but little diff
ference between running for Congress
aud the penitentiary. 1t is penal ser
vitude in either case. There are some
representatives. who take things easy,
and will not submit to the eXacting
demands that are maize upon them.
The other class of members, however,
lead life of drudgery that would
make an old-time farmland smile.
They are up in the morning before
eight. and after breakfast read and an
swer from fifty to sixty letters. Then
comes the committee meeting at ten.
and the House meets at eleven. The
member must not only attend to all
the business before his own commit
tee. but must take care of his meas
ures before other committees. He
must be in the House from Ills each
day, and vote every time. Whichev-
er way he votes, his motives are mis-
construed. If he vote yea on a rail
road bill, he has been bought up if
he vote nav, he is mad because he
didn't get some of the plumber, and il
he didn't vote at all, it was because
he was afraid to. To vote intelligent
ly he must he thoroughly posted on
law and jurisprudence, finance, di-
plomacy, agriculture and commerce,
the military and civil history of this
and other countries, and a million
other things. Above all, he must
know the political effect of all legisla-
tive matters. An innOcent-loOking
bill don't look half so innocent when
viewed through political spectacles.
During the afternoon, besides watch
ing the regular proceedings, the con
scientiouS member must answer the
cards brought in to him by the door
keepers. The cards come from a va
riety of sources. There are widows
in deepest mourning who beseech him
to see about that pension claim fos-
SLICED relics of the late contederacy
who want to he paid for rail fences
destroyed in the south during the
war; lobbyists who pour into his over
burdened ears their arguments on
keeping up the tariff on Sumatra pig
iron. barbed wire and sulphuric acid
the whiSkey men, who picture the
dire results which will follow if the
bonded period bill is not passed.
This is kept up until the member
seeks relief 10y making the rounds of
the departments. He goes first to the
White House to recommend post
master for some office for which there
are "A hundred applicants equally de
serving then to the interior depart
ment to see why those patents haven't
been issued then to the agricultural
bureau to see about seeds for the
granger constituents, and so on.
