low 1o Obtaluet an Appropriation
washinston Special in the Chicago News.
Congressman Payson, Of Illinois, tells
. good story about Jim Mckenzie, the
very bright and witty Kentuckian who
formerly represented the Paducah dis
trict in the house.
Y A bill which Mckenzie had introduced
b public building at Peducah had
en fovorably reported by the commit
Il WAS placed on the calender,
re, IN al probability, it would re-
ID forever unless some extraordinary
brt was made to bring it before the
1use. Mckenzie tried repeatedly to
latch the speakers eye, but for some
reason Randall chose to ignore him. The
end Of the session was gradually draw
ing near and Mckenzie began to grow
desperate. One day. while the regular
order Of business was under considera-
ton. Mckenzie startled the house by ris-
ing to his feet and shouting:
Mr.. Speaker, I rise to a question Of
the highest privilege"
''Ths gentleman from, Kentucky will
state his question" answered Mr.. RAN
DAN, turning in McKenzie's direction.
my question. sir. involves a matte
OF the highest privilege right # a
member to his seat"
This rather sensational announcement
drew upon him the attention Of the en-
tire house. The silence which followed
was broken again by Mckenzie, who
continued:
II ask unanimous consent TO take from
the calender house bill No. 14,796 and
pass it under . suspension Of the rules"
The calender was hastily consulted,
when it was found that house bill No.
1873 proved to be for the erection Of a
public building at Paducah. Randall
was furious with rage. THE gentle
man from Kentucky forgets himself"
he began. when Mckenzie, with COM
ical seriouspsss, interrupted him: Il
spoke the pl1lA unvarnished truth when
said the pa1)Age Of that bill involved
the right to my seat. II don't succeed
in securing the necessary appropriation
I need never expect to return to con-
gress again"
At this .ally the house burst into a
broad roar Of laughter, wherenpon Frank
Hiscock. over on the republican side,
begged that Mr.. McKenzie's request be
complied with and that unanimous con-
sent be given to pass the bill. There
were no objections. and within sixty
seconds Mckenzie secured what he had
waited for months to accomplish.
It was he who said Hayes administra-
ton would live in history for two rea-
sons-weak vetoes and cold water at
state dinners.

before his trial. He said to Orrin Skin

Ludlow street Jail. that it had all been
arranged; that he was to be put to COM
mon work ct flnt, until the excitement
died out. and would then be given an
easy berth in the Office, and after awhile

hospital. These favors, he said would
cost him about $5, 900 year. The pro-

For the next two or three years knew
Walt Whitman, well-his writings and his

brawny, strong, tender-hearted man,
given to dreams, not worldly minded.
And right here want TO say that alto
gether too much has been made of Whit
mans hospital experiences. He went
among the soldiers, indeed, and distributed
such daintieS or comforts as he could buy
or as were sent to him from the North
but everybody did that in Washington.
! There were people here who did more than
| he, who gave more and sacrificed more, and
whose coming was more eagerly looked for.
But Walt was written up" He was
praised nordinately for the simple work
which was shared by most humane Wash
ingtOn people; he was called pet names in
| the newspapers. and correspondents lmostly
after the wary were fond of telling how
| the wounded soldiers kissed his hand
and wept-which was DO uncommon eXper-
fence. His whole circuit as a visitor was
limited to the hospitals and camps in and
Immediately around Washington. Inshort,

means starving, as his English admirers al

and was willing to pay for.

The Colored Vote Rebels.

To the Editor of the Globe:
Please allow me space through the col
umnS of your well-circulated and edited
paper to state something for the good of
the Democrats here. Ny people are sore
because McGill and his cohorts all over the
state have made up their slate and upon it
is no negro name. The party here in Hen
nepin received the support of almost the
entire negro vote. which amounts to about
seven hundred to nine hundred. OF course
the boys supposed they would get place
in one of the many offices, but it has leaked
out that no colored man will be able to get
a place. Counted-n-Gov. McGill will give
no place to even a janitor A lot of
the good boys met the other evening
and a resolution was Offered to the effect
that they demand OF the county and state a
Mace. and Al out of 50 swore if the party
fails to recognize them they would work
and support the next Democratic governor,
mayor and county clerk. A committee of
three was about to be elected to wait upon
the governor and county officers and make
this demand when wrangle followed and
the meeting adjourned to meet again next
Tuesday evening The boys say every ma
tionality is represented by some appointiye
or elective Office and that they have at least
2 600 votes in the state and want three
clerkship and one janitOr, and if they fail
they swear to leave the Republican party.

1.-THE Union Pacific folks were awful
glad when a certain man died in Omaha
the other day." said one of the agents of
that line. His name was Bowers, About
dozen years ago he saved train from
running into washout near his farm, and
the Union Pacific folks felt grateful to him.
Mr.. Clark, who was then superintendent,
but who is now with the Milwaukee & st.
Paul road, sent for Bowers and offered
him $500. Bowers modestly declined the
money, but when Mr.. Clark proposed to make
him out pass good for the rest of his life
he said he didn't object When Clark was
engaged making out the pass Bowers said:
Would you mind making out the pass good
for friend? might want to 90 to Salt
Lake City some day and take friend OF
mine down to see my uncle
"Of course. Mr.. Clark felt so grateful he
didn't mind making it out good for a
friend; in fact, he was willing to do most
anything at that time. The pass was sent
up to headquarters where it received the
signatures of the president and general
passenger agent and was returned to Bow

and never alone. He always had friend
with him. The friend was usually some COM
mercial traveller. In short, Bowers had made
railroad riding a regular business for the
past twelve years. He made arrangements
with various wholesale and jobbing houses
to carry their men. and booked his engage
ments months ahead sometimes. When
these failed he picked up stray passengers
here and there. After paying his sleeping
car fare and other expenses he had from Sc
to IS day clear profit. Out of this profit
he managed to amass snug little fortune.
