The Blind Chaplain's Prayer-Practicai
Mr.. Jordan.
Special 10 ne Reoissr.
WASHINGTON, March 30.-When the
blind Chaplain of the House of Repsesen-
tativss, in his morning prayer, asked for
the recovery Of the Secretary Of the Treas
ury, he extended his invocation in q way
that was quite unnecessary. He prayed
that the President, his Cabinet, and the two
Houses Of Congress might profit by this
example of overwork, bearing in mind
that the body has its laws, the study and
the practice Of which are obligatory on
every man Of sense. So far as this busy
hard worked Administration is concerned,
DR.. MilburR's petition seemed well enough,
but it was felt that there was no need of
placing before either branch of Congress,
as warning of the results of over industry.
There is little danger that the Senate
will injure itself with hard work if
its majority, in time wnen
hundreds of thousands Of hun
gry men are wandering with despairing
aimlessness down the highways and through
the hyways Of the land, can find as it's only
issue the question as to the papers in some
petty Office. So long as the majority in
the highest legislative body Of the nation
will continue for the length of three weeks
a privileged collective scandal monger, be.
cause the Executive does not waive his
prerogatiVe and give it access to his Jri
vate correspondence, there is no need Of
prayers in behalf Of over toiled Senators.
The President continues to sstonish ev.
cry one about him by the remarkable
amount Of labor he performs daily. No
man probably has ever before given any
thing like as much intellectual strength
and steadiness Of application to the duties
OF the Presidential Office. lie studies
closely even the minor questions that come
before him for official action, and every
document that goes from his hands, if it be
only letter to an office holder, is careful.

Mr.. Jordan, the United States Treasurer,
under the new regime, is another practical
worker and thorough business man. A
short time ago Congressional committee
asked him to appear before them and im-
part his views on financial topics he re.

mittee at night, and go he did.

while the clerks looked on in astonishment
