THE AMERICAN SENATORS.
The Eldest and the Youngest in Point Of Years.
Some Noted Members.

Some Noted Members.
Special Correspondence OF the Palatka Netrs.
WASHINGTON, January %.
l wonder how many of the readers of
THE PALATKA NEWS have ever given
any thought as to the ages of the men
who to-day represent them in the halls
of Congress. It would be a prolonged
task to incorporate in any letter of this
kind a general survey of the lower
House, but if you will follow me we'll
take look at the Senate, the American
House of Peers, if such language is al
lowable.
The youngest man TO be found in this
body is Senator Kenna, of West Vir-
ginia, who is now in his fortieth year.
Senators Morrill,, of Vermont, and
Payne, of Ohio, divide honors as being
the eldest in point of years, both having
entered their seventy-eighth year. Both
are beginning to show the marks of old
age, more especially the former Sena-
tor Reagan, of Texas. bears his years
with more grace than any other MEM
ber and to look at him-dignified. portIy
and intelligent that is-one could hardly
believe that he had entered upon his sew
entieth year. His colleague looks every
year his age of fifty-nine if not more.
Edmunds, the gentleman who a few
years since explained the workings of
American law and politics to the Brit
ish Parliament, is in his sixtieth year,
while Vest, the able lawyer of the Dem
ocratic minority, has but passed his
fifty-seventh milestone.
Florida, Oregon and Pennsylvania
have the honor to be represented respec-
lively by men who are of equal age, the
Florida Senators being in their fifty
fourth year, those of Oregon fifty-third
and of Pennsylvania in their fifty-fifth
year.
Modesty forbids the Tennessee delega-
ton from disclosing to the public their
natal year, yet both are well ON in years
as one would say.
Senator Faulkner, of West Virginia,
is the second youngest member of the
Senate being now in his forty y-first year:
thus we see that West Virginia has tie
proud distinction of being represented
| by youthful members, and no one can
say that she is misrepresented for her sons

MIR. DAVIS OF MASSACHUSETTS.


Mr. Davis, of Massachusetts, COM
mented on the fact that the petition of
81 900 miners was presented on the same
day that the report of the Committee on
Commerce was presented. While he did
not charge that it had been suggested by
any member, it was a reasonable infer
ence that it had been produced rather
by parliamentary than by business
methods. He advocated the report of
the majority of the committee, believing
that Congress was too political a body
properly to investigate purely business
matter, and because he did not believe
that an investigation by a Congressional
committee would be productive of any
good results. To strengthen this asser-
ton, he instaRced what he termed the
failure of the Missouri Pacific Inves-
tigating Committee to produce any good
results, or react any conclusion.

SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT

There are some boys, alas! who think
father $50 narrow" because he INSISTS
that they shall be at home evenings;
who must heartily chafe against the
Christian environments that surround
them closely in that sheltered nook.
and who in their Utmost hearts think
mother "too particular who look at
youths coming and going their own
masters, untramIneled by Christian
"scruples," and. free from "apron-string
government" as ones to be en- We'd. We
want such to glance. 1t this item, found
in statistics that can not lie: ".Out of
tho 76S prisoners received Of Joliet
last year, 522 had no religious prefer
ance and had received no religious
training" Now what do you propose
to do with such an item, you who affirm
that "it's all nonsense" as to the Chris
tian belief your parents strive to instill
in order that you may not wander from
the straight and narrow way, but, keep
ing in paths of rectitude, reap not only
of this worlds goods but life everlast-
ing?
Again, there are bOys--wOuld we did
not have to acknowledge it!--who wish
they could kick their school books so
far they would never again see them.
and who chafe daily at the constant
routine of school life, and wonder "why
father and mother are so bound they
shall have all education" Such we
wish to look at = second item these
same statistics hold: Out Of these 75S
prisoners every few had received any
thing like good education; only one
college graduate was among them, and
the proportion between the prisoners
who may be fairly classed as educated
and those who are educated is as 1G
to l." Think this over for awhile, you
who so to school under protest, and
see what You make Of it. Is it in favor
Of education or against it?
And now we come to third item.
There are some youths who even up to
this present enlightened day boldly
affirm that there is no harm in All &C.
casional drink--just an occasional one.
Let such see what is to be made of the
"Out of these same 1853
prisoners 102 claimed to be total alb
gtainers, III admitted that they were
moderate drinkers" Birds of feath-
er flock together" boys, and he who &C.
quires the habits of drink Is more like
ly to acquire other habits of like nature
than is he who sticks to temperance
principles.
