The indispensable.

One of the Indispensable, Of course, is
industry. \ Congressman, to keep the
run of affairs, has no time to waste. Ii
he becomes a leader he must work like
a steam engine. The demands on his
time by his party and position here are
enough to keep him busy. Add the
MYRIAD wants and fancies of his constit,,
uents and you absorb all of his days and
most of his nights. Mr.. Bayard once
said in speech in the Senate he wished
some accurate description could be
given of a COngressman's daily life in
Washington. 1t is tread-mill; No
man who does his duty here finds 1t a
soft life. A good practice at law or an
active commercial business Is sacrificed
often by the acceptance of these

Absorbing Responsibilities.

Yet so strong is the political passion in
tine American that ne seldom VoIuu-
,arily reures from his field. Its high
prestige, its different degrees OF power
and pre-eminence, its contests and al
mrrIneut of excitsnent are seductive
and once enjoyed are dear forever. The
worn OUT old stagers talk Ofrest, but the
most of them are willing to die III the
harness. Success in Congress cannot
be easily grasped by even the most
gifted, They who seem to find the
prize waiting in their way really win 1t
In the old way-the only way 1t can be
attained. Timid men have to face most
disagreeable tests. The House Is rough
and tumble concern very often. Pure
cheek is a good thing then.

Peculiar Fitness.

am not saying that these estimates
are infallible, or even better than those
in other fields, but merely asserting that
peculiar fitness is required to attain
eminerce in Congress. \ lawyers fame
may be more permanent and may in
dictate 8 higher degree Of greatness, but
mere lawyer cannot cope with the
difficulties of a congressional career.
The quick witted, smooth-tOngue prince
of the hastings can manage to get to
Congress perhaps as often as he chooses,
for people will vote for the man who
plcases them, but he must lock for his
Glory in his campaigns and not in the
area TO which they elevate him, if he is
only the fluent and happy talker.

Committee WORK.

Ii is often remarked with reason that
the best work must be done in the COM
mIttee room. Il is there the difference
shows between the clear head, the quick
determination, the firm VIII Of the man
of action and the lrOthy fancy of the
mere man of words. The strange pow
tr of commanding their fellows, born in
some men, is shown no where quicker
than il is here. Reputation acquired
elsewhere is valuable only as an intro
ductiOn. Itgiyes opportunities, and if
they are wasted the new man falls to
the grade of his value in Congress.

Fine Talking.

Fine talking is good in its place. 1t Is
enjoyed here, for men everywhere love
To hear the mellow music of Oratory, but
the man who comes to Congress to talk
himself to fame will find his task hard
one. In both the Senate and the House
some Of the men who exert the greatest
control of affairs are seldom heard.
They sit quietly by while windy haran-
CUES are made by the loquGcious politi-
clans, but when the measure is passed
somehow it embOdies their views. Some
of the most gifted men in either body
have damaged themselves this session
by too free indulgence of their tongues
and could say the best of things now to
no effect.

CONGRESSMAN.
Their Characteristics And Their
Work.
Who the Men Of Influence are and What
the Source Of Their Influence is
Best Work in the Com
mittee Room.

WASHINGTON, September 29.-If
asked who are the men of influence in
Congress you could easily point them
out after daily watch for several
months ever their deliberations, but it
would not be so easy to define the
sources Of such influence.
This is especially true of the House Of
Representatives. 1t is perhapst the hard
est Of all political bodies tor men asplr-
ing to be leaders. Take the half dozen
foremost men in it now and you have u
curious continuation. One man has
gone to the front by reason of one
quality while his rival has depended on
quite another. The great majority of
congressman, especially of Southern
Congressman, are lawyers.
1t is a common belief that any man
of good oratorical powers and fair legal
