SPEAKERS OF THE NATIONAL

To the Editor of the Daily Eagle.
In YOUR issue of the 18th inst. in refer
ring to the ancestors OF Gen. John Sedg-
wick you say that Gen. Banks is the last
of the three speakers of the house of
representatives furnished by Massachu-
sets, the others being J. B. Varnum and
Theodore Sedgwick. The facts are that
Sedgwick was speaker in the Sixth con-
gress: Narnum in the Tenth and
Eleventh, and Robert C.. Winthrop, one of
the most accomplished of all the speakers
of the house. in the thirtieth, whilst n.
P. Banks presided over the house in the
thirty-fourth congress, This makes four
speakers for the old Bay state to date.
| The southern states have furnished
twenty-six speakers. including the pres
ent one Kentucky's favorite son, Henry
Clay, presided oyer the house in six con-
crosses, while the state furnished a
speaker for ten all told This beats the
record for any state or individual. There
must be charm about the men of that
state. or its good Bourbon whisky which
catches the average congressman. Vir-
ginia comes next with a speaker in seven
congresses, Pennsylvania with six and
Indiana with five. There never has

after his term, Just as John j. Ingalls,, of
Kansas, the second one, was being
chosen-if my memory serves me well.
If we double the number of any con-
gress and add it to 1889 the product will
represent the last year of that congress.
Henry Clay ended MS service as speaker
in the Eighteenth congress-1S multiplied

closing year of that congress. We may
say: War with Mexico in 1S45, what was
the number of that congress? Thus: 1S45
minus 1899 equal Sc divided by equal
%, the right number of the congress
closed in 1915. If the result of subtrac-
ton be an odd number add one and
divide by two as before. This is based
on 1889 being the first year of the first
congress. w. z. HUTCHINSON.
In looking up the data in our mention
of the matter referred to we relied upon
the encyclopedias for the information in
relation to the number and names of the
speakers furnished by Massachusetts, and
were misled thereby, they making men

of the Thirtieth congress and candidate
for speaker, but defeated. As to the
speakers from Kentucky, while it is true
that state has had ten speakerships pre-

persons from that State have occupied
the position. The other points in Col

MAKING BIG GUNS.

The casting of the big gun at Pittsburg

of the development of a new industry for
which the United States has special facili-
ties. IT is not alone that we need the
means for providing our ships and forts
with the best of modern artillery although
this is work which will tax the best
foundries we can make for many years.
We want to be ready to repel hoStilities.

pared. the danger of foreign attack will be
greatly diminished. aud il is pretty small
already. But when once American capital
and skill have built up an American Essen
we shall make the big guns. rs well as the
machine guns, for the whole world. At
present the krupp works have sub
stantially monopoly. But when the
American works are prepared to turn out
the same class of goods. the great European
powers will naturally prefer to make their
purchases here. y continental war would
not then cut off their supplies of ordinance,
nor would Italy, Austria Russia or Spain

nation against whom they might want TO
Use them.
1t will take years for us TO reach the DOS

couragement from the government we
shall get there. The biggest steel gum

guns of Europe weigh l2l tons. But now
that we are started we shall grow Very
rapidly.-Hartfori CuuranT

A POINTER FOR FARMERS.

During the last two weeks about
$4,000 bushels of potatoes from Scotland
have arrived in New York, on which, at
Is cents per bushel, duties aggregating
$12 200 were paid. The tariff proves no
effective barrier to competition with the
domestic product, and the foreign
potatoes find ready sale here. and are
shipped to various parts of the country.
Potrtoes from abroad-Noya Scotia,
Scotland, Germany and elsewhere-are
coming in larger quantities than at any
time since 1882. which was known as
the potato famine year, owing to the
shortage in the American crop. Farmers
are finding dangerous rivals in foreign
producers, against whom the present
tariff affords inadequate protection.
What would be their plight We're the
Democratic policy of free trade to pre-
vail and the tariff on potatoes be re-
moved:-Troy Times.

THE AMENpE HONORABLE.

The attack of the Wichita papers upon
our mayor, Francis Herman, lis entirely I'M
called for and unwarranted. For the
information of those papers we will state
that Tribune representative was present
at the meeting OF the board of health
which quarantined against Wichita and
said quarantine was strongly objected to
by the mayor, who insisted that thor
ough Investigation of the case be made
before quarantine was declared. but the
board overruled his objection. We make
this statement voluntarily, as the mayor
is not in position to defend himself In
his official capacity.-Fort Scott Tribune.
We will add to this statement the addi-
tional one that after investigation we find
the Tribune's article corroberated by the
city clerk and several others. Now we
submit to the Wichita press whether it has
not outrageOusly slandered a gentleman
who has never done their city aught of
harm, but was the means Of doing it much
good.-Fort Scott Monitor.
In the matter referred to above, unfor-
tunately, perhaps, for Mayor Herman, his
position required him to sign the docu-
ment that gave umbrage to Wichita, and
being at the head of affairs in Fort Scott
it was but natural that he should have
been regarded as largely if not wholly
responsible for the city's action. But
we have no desire to pursue the matter
further. What the EAGLE said was
prompted by a spirit of self defense, and
not from desire to do any one an in
jury or injustice. And inasmuch as the
city authorities and papers of that city
have made the amende honorable, we
cheerfully give all concerned the benefit
of the exculpation contained in the para
graphs above quoted.
