by the republican and democratic parties
uponsthe question Of the increase of the

dulked in. Then Reed, of Name, took
q hand in the debate and arraigned 10
severe terms the democratic majority for
i.s delay in bringing important public
measures before the house and prevent.
ing an intelligent consideration and
discussion. Tue history Of this house
was q history of refusal TO transact
public business for the purpose OF
enabling = tho democratic party
to show or the stump figures
whioa Indicated, not economy, but
a failure to spend the money of the
government to meet the necessities Of
government. Duiing the past week or
two ecenes have been enacted here
which ought to make a legislator blush.
Bills Of serious importance, after an in
cubation Of six months, have been
thrust upon the house when there was
no opportunity for discussion.

A New York republican, and one who
took an active part in the last campaign,
is quoted by the Washington Evening
Critic as saying that the sentiment of
the state is favorable to Blaine running
again, only in the event that there is no
other available candidate. Senator
Sherman, he says, would be the best
man the republicans could select for a
standard bearer, and principally because
he would unite republicans in the state
IN the canvass. Conkling was out OF the
question. All the capitalists of New
York, however, wonld rally around
Sherman's standard and as everybody
was aware that the battle ground wonld
be New York again in 1888, thinking
men wanted the strongest candidate
possible put forward, and they con-
sidered the Ohio senator the most de-
sirable man. Many of the independent
republicans who voted for Cleveland at
the last election regretted their action
now and wanted to come back to the
fold, and he had four young stock
brokers in n building who had de-
clared themselves to that effect.

distinction. He entered the navy and rapid
ly rose to the rank of lieutenant. He died
while still a young man.
The second son entered the Methodist min
istry. He soon made his reputation as
preacher. Before he was 80 he was elected
president of Central college, at Fayette,
which is under the control of his church. The
institution was poorly attended, deeply in
debt and on the verge of dissolution. Young
Hendrix threw his whole soul into the work
OF building 1t up. He had what few preach
ers possess, remarkably fine business tact
While ne sought to fill the college with stu
dents, he as industriously endeavored to lift
on good financial basis. By inter
esting the wealty men of his church
in the school, he obtained for it donation
after donation and bequest after bequest.
In ten years the zeal and ability of the young
president had converted a broken down col
lege into hourishing institution with full
classes, established reputation and a hand
some endowment. The other day the highest
council of his church called him from this
good work and placed upon his shoulders
the mantle of bishop. He is the youngest
man who ever received the honor from the
Southern Methodist church, being only
thirty-eight. His mother is a devoted church
woman, and had rather have her son a bishop
of the Methodist church than President of
the United States.
Joseph Hendrix. the third of these broth
ers, made journalism his profession. Twelve
years ago he graduated at Cornell University,
and about that time he accidentally obtained
a commission from Mr.. Dana to do some re-
porting for the New York Sun. The work
was so well done that Mr.. Dana at once en-
ployed him on the Sun, and soon after placed
him in charge of the BROOKLYN bureau. He
took a hand in politics, and in 1882, though
just past thirty, he was nominated by the
democrats of Brooklyn for mayor, and came
within few hundred votes of election.
A few weeks ago President Cleveland
solved the problem over the Brooklyn post
mastership by appointing this young man
who was not an applicant. At thirty five he
has an Office worth 5000 year with an
enormous patronage. He has, by his in
dustry and business sagacity, already amassed
considerable property.
The. youngest of the brothers Is only
twenty He went to Texas several years
ago, and is now interested in a cattle ranch
which paid him $1,000 last year and is
rapidly Increasing in value. You seldom see
four brothers who are all men of acknowl-
edged ability, and who, at the age when the
average youth is clearing off the chat of his
wild Loaf crop, for the real work of life have
already achieved brilliant and substantial
success. Happy is the mother of four such
sons.
