errands for them. 1t seemed to him, he
said, that such strike would stop the
wheels of Government; and so 1T might
if there were no means of filling the
places of the strikers, for presumably
very few of the Senators would know
where to go or what to do to procure
the documents, ETC., for which they
keep the pages running. But about the
Capitol and in the several departments
OF public life in Washington there are
enough men of National renown who
began their political careers as pages to
fill the places of all these boys; So
What If the Senate pages should
strike?
The Government would go right on.
The number of famous men who once
were pages seems to warrant the pre-
sumption that EN- mbryonic greatness is
now scampering about the Capitol in
knickerbockers, running errands, per-
haps, for men not fit to bear it's shoes.
Surely this is excuse enough for devot-
ing little consideration to the pages
of the Senate.
Four years is the Ion gest term boy
may serve as page, since he is eligible
to the Office only between the ages of
twelve and sixteen. In the Senate
there are fourteen of these boys, under
the immediate direction of Alonzo II.
Stewart, young man of nearly twenty
years, who four years ago closed his
career as page and is now attached
to the Sergeant-at-Arms under the title
of Messenger on the Floor of the Sem
ate. But this chief page and all his
assistants are under the supervision of
Captain Isaac Bassett, the venerable
assistant door-keeper, who has served
continuously as an attache of the Sem
ate since he was appointed page,
hfty-seven years ago, by Daniel Web
ster's request Captain Bassett, with his
long white hair and beard, is the most
striking figure on the Senate floor,
and if any man is indispensable
there it is he. In the matter of cere-
monials he is the authority on whom
Vice-President, Presidents pro tempore
of the Senate and all the officers
and members of that august body have
to rely. For more than half century
he has kept a memorandum book at
hand and made entries of all those acts
which were likely to be useful as prec-
edents. When death strikes Senator
down, or any thing else of an unusual
character happens, the presiding officer
of the Senate turns to Captain Bassett,
who sits on his left, and is informed as
to what is the conventional mode of
procedure under the circumstances. 1t
is said that Captain Bassett has, during
all these years of service in the Senate,
kept close memoranda of such speeches
and acts as have marked events in our
country's history. He can tell the pre-
else spot where Webster stood when he
made any one of his famous arguments;
where Sumner sat when he received the
blow which helped the cause of emanci-
patton along; where every word was
said and every act performed which has
had direct bearing on the great events
OF this last half century But he is as
uncommunicative as the Sphinx, and as
for his memorandum books, he would
no more let newspaper correspondent

The ,ourteen Senate pages are all
bright, interesting lads. Harry Long,
Mckee CoUhrane and Albert Mackey are
the seniors. They have served three

Moody is the son of Senator Moody, of

ducts, including live stock Of all
kinds, are as high priced nov IS
they ever were In this country prior
10 the civil war. But whatever de-
preston there may be-and Il must
be admitted that there IL some-the
best, because the most effective and
lasting, remedy IL the creation and
building up Of other industries that
will consume our vast surplus farm
products. We would not produce
less, but arrange by whatever means
possible that are legitimate to con-
sumo more nj home than we do at
present. We cannot build up for
eign industries, but We can 50 shape
legislation aud outside efforts as 10
do this In our own country.
We simply have too many farmers
aud too much rich land in proper
ton to the capital and 10 labor pur-
suits. We ought not TO buy a dol
lars worth Of anything from abroad
that we can fairly make at home.
By this policy we should soon
