the apostle Of silver. Mr.. Warner did not
cut much of o figure in the last congress.
BE tried hard enough to do so, but found
his racket q rather Improbable one: He
tried TO pose as a sort Of another Holman,
ohjectipg to everything that offered an op'
~portunity for objection, and kicking up a
large row on very small matters whenever
opportunity offered. He succeeded in one
thing, however, and that was in making
himself extremely unpopular with every.
body except Mr.. Warner. Just at the close
of the session, however he struck a new
lead, and dropping every thing else turned
his attention to silver. Here he found a
a field in which he succeeded in attracting
national attention. There are lots of people
who have views about silver. Mr.. Bland
has been the leader of the silver men for a
long time, but somehow he seems to have
lost his grit oflste. 1t was a master stroke
with Mr.. Warner when he laid down the
role of objector crank On general principles
and decided to devote himself to silver. He
has made a decided hit. His latest pro-
position, for the issue Of silver certificates
based on silver bullion deposited in the
Treasury, Is attracting much attention,
whatever its merits are. He is receiving q
great many letters from all over the country
on the subject, and is the centre Of attrac.
ton here. he is spending more or less Of
his time here and in New York now, enjoy
ing the notoriety that he has thus gained.
Some days be is here, some in New York,
and some at his home in Ohio. He does
not remain away from here, however, for in
New York and Washington it is easier to
pose as q Great National Issue than any
where else, and nothing suits Warner bet.
ter than to be considered National Issue.

supposed to be q pretty lazy place about
this aime Of the year, bat there are some
busy men here Just row.. Indeed it is safe
10 soy that there are more busy people In
Washington o than there ever have been
at this nme of the year. Your average de-
sartment clerk Is in sn agony OF apPrenen-
sion lest he lose his place; and Is pitching
into his work with q yigor thai was meyer

sll abxIous to make good records Tor their

pushing every Que under them to their best
speed. The new officials are, of course, har1
al work trying to make q first class record
for themselves and their party. This hot
weather is Q good deal harder on rs than 1t
ever was before" said one Of the clerks In
the Pension Office at the close of one OF the
hottest days of this week. "Our chief has
always urged rs, heretofore, not TO hurry
much on hot days, but to take it easy and
move about q part Of the time, rather than
sit at our desks constantly. But 1t Is dlf
ferent now, | can tell you. They watch Us
constantly, and we have to account for every
minute of time. No matter how hot it is
We must be hard at work. | have q sick

The chief of our division is trying hard to
make q record, and watches US like q hawk,
al the time"
There is a popular belief that the busiest
people are the heads OF the departments
and the appointment clerks, This is a popu
AR error. 10 be sure these officers are busy
out they are not more pressed BY the snx-
;ous throng than some Of the others of their
departments. Take the Treasury depart
nent for instance. 1t is an error to suppose
hat the appointment clerk wrestles with all
he appointments made there. Indeed the
most important woik doue there thus far has
been by the head of the Internal Revenue
1ureau.
