Mr.. Cox"
This appeal rather amused the
Speaker, and he promised the
noted New Yorker that he would
recognize him. He kept his word
the next day, and Mr.. Campbell
made his speech, and for maiden
effort it attracted great attention.
oCHILTREE HELPED BY FRIEND.
Col. Thomas B. Ochiltree achev-
ed more than a national reputation
during the first month that he
served in Congress. The colonel
is the first and only republican
who has ever been sent to Congress
from Texas. He was elected to
represent a district with 1000 dem
ocratic majority, and principally
because it was believed the Con-
gress in which he was to serve
would be republican. In this, his
constituents were mistaken, and
Mr.. Carlisle was elected Speaker.
Ochiltree realized his position and
tried hard for an opportunity to be
heard, but Mr.. Carlisle was deter
mined not to recognize him.
Ochiltree had offered resolutions
which were passed by both Houses
lamenting the death of Herr Lask-
err, the distinguished German Lib
eralist. Copies of these resolution
were sent to Prince Bism arck, who
regarded them as an insult, and,
as will be remembered, it resulted
in the recall of the German Minis
ter to this country. Lasker had
brother, one of the leading men in
Ochiltree's district, and the colonel
saw big chance to make reputa-
ton if he was allowed to make
speech regarding the action of
Prince Bismarck. To the great
delight of the Texan, he learned
one evening that the Speaker had
been taken very sick, and that
Senator Blackburn, then a men,
Der of the House, would occupy the
Speakers chair the next day.
This was Ochiltree's great opportu-
nifty. Blackburn and Ochiltree
had been brother officers in the
confederate army and were great
friends. The Texan Immediately
hunted up Mr.. Blackburn and in
vited him to dinner. After they
had partaken of the meal, Ochil-
tree sold to Mr.. Blackburn:
"Joe, you can do me great
favor, if you want to. You have
always been my friend and l think
it is your duty to do so, inasmuch |
as it is very reasonable request"
"Tom, you know l am your
FRIEND" said Mr.. Blackburn, Civ
ing the Texan his hand, "and you
know that l will gladly do you a
favor. "
Ochiltree then said he wanted |
recognition next day, and the first
thing when the House met next
morning Speaker pro tenn. Black
burn recognized the gentleman
from Texas, who delivered his
memorable speech scathing Prince
Bismarck.

he had a right 10 say what ne
pleased as long as he did not vio-
late any parliamentary rules.
The Speaker stated that that was
the gentleman's privilege.
az propose, Mr.. Speaker, said
the Missourian, to avail myself
of every minute of time that l am
entitled to. For four long years
have [ served as member in this
house without being able to say
anything more than Mr. Speaker
l have been surprised at the pa
thence of my constituency who GER
tainly expected that would have
been heard long ere this, but they
have probably foreborne, believing
that eventually my turn would
come. And it has, Mr.. Speaker,
come now"
Mr.. Frost then launched off into
a political speech, which was re-
garded from all sides of the House
as very brilliant effort. After
this he had little difficulty in catch
ing the eye of the Speaker.
It matters little how distin-
guished a man may have been in
some other calling, when he enters
Congress his past reputation is not
taken into consideration by the
Speaker. He must win his spurs as
a Congressman before he is consid-
cred of much consequence upon the
floor of the House. This was never
better demonstrated, probably,
than when Horace Greeley was in
Congress. That great journalist,
as will be remembered, did not
have a very brilliant career in the
House and his great reputation
went almost for naught. Brilliant
Henry Watterson served term in
Congress and he did not receive
the recognition that his great attain
ments entitled him to.
TRIED "BUSHWHACKING
Congressman Benton Mcmillan,
Of Tennessee, now regarded as one
of the ablest leaders in the House
and prominent candidate for the
speakership of the next Congress,
told me not long ago of the hard
time he experienced when he first
entered Congress. It seemed that
the Speaker was determined not to
recognize him and atone time Mr..
almost lost courage.
Finally he determined to pursue
" bushwhacking Methods" as he
expressed it. He rivaled
Judge Holman, of Indiana, as
chronic objector, and at every pos
sible opportunity he raised objec-
tons and in other ways annoyed
the Speaker. Finally he made
SO obnoxious that it result
ed in his winning his point. The
Speaker sent for him and made
terms with him upon condition
that he would abandon his bush
tactics.
Mr.. McMillin showed that all he
wanted was an opportunity, for he
always had something'to say that
was interesting and instructive,
and it was not long before he was
as one of the ablest men
in the House..
BOLD TIM CAMPBELL.
The New York City men who
have served their first terms have
been very fortunate in securing
recognition from the various Speak
ers early in their congressional ca
rers. Tim Campbell, 1 believe,
managed to make speech the first
week that he was in Congress, and
everybody was surprised that he
was able to catch the Speakers

THE SPEAKERS EYE.
How New Members of Congress Seek
Recognition.
Interesting Anecdotes Of Our New Law
Makers.

10 catcn Ine eye OF Ine speaker
of the House of Representatives is
one of the most difficult things for
a new member of Congress to &C
complish. There are over 100
members of the present House who
SO far have not been able to receive
recognition from the Speaker.
There is an old tradition that new
members are to be seen and not
heard during their first term. How
ever, every Congress there are sew
eral new members who become
conspicuous from the very first.
In the Senate it is even more diff
cult to secure recognition from the
chair than it is in the House.
Whatever the faults of Speaker
Reed may be, it must be admitted
that he was rather lenient with
new members, and | think that
more new men were given an oppor-
tunity to be heard during the last
session of Congress than during
the terms of any other Speaker of
recent years. Of course there are
some new members so bright that
it is impossible to refuse them a
hearing, or the Speaker takes per-
sonal liking to new members and
gives them chance. There were
certain new members during the
last session, on both sides of the
House, whom the Speakes took
personal fancy to, and if it was pos
sible he always gave them an
opportunity to be heard. Some of
these people were possessed of ora
torical traits that amused the
Speaker, and these members he
always encouraged.
SPEAKER RANDALL's sTERNEss.
The late Speaker Randall was
one of the most stern men that ever
occupied the position, and be never
allowed his feelings to control him
in regard to the recognition of
member. He believed that mem
Der ought to serve at least two |
terms before he was given an oppor-
tunity to take general part in de-
bates. But, in those days there
were more old members than there
are now. 81 ...a..,>.. .....
One of the brightest of the
younger members in Congress dur
ing the last term that Mr.. Randall
served as Speaker was r. Graham
Frost, of St. Louis, the youngest
member of the House and a very
brilliant orator. He was then
serving his second term. For four
years he had striven hard to catch
the eye of the Speaker, but all this
time that dignitary was blind to
him. Finally, under peculiar cir
cumstances, Mr.. Frost obtained an
opportunity to make a brilliant
speech in Congress.
HIS FIRST OPPORTUNITY,
1t was during a night session.
There was an important measure
before the House which the Speak
er was particularly anxious to have
disposed of. There was not a quo
rum present and the Speaker gave
orders of arrest for the absent men,
bers and placed them in the hands
of the Sergeant-at-Arms. Mr..
First was absent at a dinner party
given by one of the legations.
There the Sergeant-at-Arms found
the young St. Louis member, and
placing him under arrest took him
to the Capitol. Frost was attired
in evening dress when arraigned
before the Speakers stand. The
usual question, "What defense
have you to make for being alb
sent?" was put to him. Without
paying any apparent attention to

That TERRIBLE GRIPPE
What 1t Really Is Explained by One o
the Best Informed Men I'm America

The President of one of the leading Ney,
York Medical colleges in conversation w..h the
writer the other evening. said:
La Grippe the Russian influenza, that has
caused so much talk, is more severe affliction
than people usually think 1t arises mysteriously
and appears 10 have its origin in the atmos
phere The last time it visited America was in
1893. and il came then. as now. from Asia. The
name influenza, comes from the suggestion
that the malady was due to the influences of
the heavenly bodies, but more modern cienee
has discovered that it is due to the changes in
the electrical conditions. Whatever may be
the cause il is a strong congestion of the blood
vessels and mucous membrane. principally in
the head and throat and nothing but strong
stimu0nts viii check this congestion and keep
the blood actually circulating. For this pur-
pose | know of nothing better than pure whisky
and believe Duffy's Pure Malt to be the best
and purest whisky known to the world.
Formerly this influenza was said to precede
an epidemic of the plague, and the person who
preliminary, a fit of sneeziug. Now it precedes
a worse epidemic than the plague, namely. the
terrible pneumonia. Its beginning is slight, but
its ending is often terrible. Pains in the limbs
back, chest and cad; a sore throat and lack
of appetite: copious discharge at the nose; these
are some of the symptoms OF this dread disease.
Upon the slightest approach of any of these
symptoms, a nervous feeling, or laSsiIude, ressrt
should be had TO a pure whisky, which is the
only certain means of breaking up this cpl
dsmic before it secures a hold upon the system

should be taken, however, to secure only that

Bank Deposit Lobbyists.

The Knoxville Sentinel calls at
tention to the fact that the two Re
publican nominees for Congress in
the First District, Roderick Random
Butler and Alfred A. Taylor, were
conspicuous members of the lobby
which undertook to work the bank
depositors' refunding scheme through
the Legislature in 1887.
One of the four Democrats alluded
to below by the Sentinel, if we mis-
take not, was Col. Josiah Patterson,
Of Memphis, now an aspirant for the
Democratic nomination for Governor.
Those who remember the circum-
stances know that to Col. Savage is
due the credit for the defeat of the
bill. He had strong and earnest
helpers it is true, but he first exposed
the rottenness of the measure, and
led the opposition which resulted in
the defeat of the bill. The Sentinel
says:
"a scheme of this sort required en-
cheering. Lobbyists became neces.
sary. Senators and Representatives
were averse to allowing them to
charge so large debt upon their
constituents. 1t was known that
most of the deposits had been bought
up by spectators. 1t was believed
that they had given only ) cents or
the dollar for them. The merit o
the original depOsitor was small
enough; but the Spectator was no
one-tenth as deserving even as he

perience came forward and volunteer
ed their services in behalf of the de-
positor's bill.
..As motive for volunteering, it
was said they were to receive half
the profits of the scheme. Eight
men, four Republicans and four Dem
ocrats, were then said TO be interested
in the measure. Earnestly and zeal
ously they wrought by night and by
day for their clients; and as a reward
for their fidelity, and a tribute to
their ability the bill passed the State
Senate, appropriating 100000 out of
the State treasury to satisfy so per
cent. of the depositors' claims. 1t
was in vain that the newspapers pro-
tested against it; the lobby was too
persuasive and powerful and the Sen
ate yielded. Seventeen to twelve
was the vote,an the roll call showed
how successfully the Republican lob
byists had been in their work.
"The bill then went to the House
for passage. The Democrats of that
body became alarmed at the passage
of the bill by the Senate, and thirty
four members united in an open let
ter to the people of the State calling
public attention to this raid upon the
public treasury, and inviting popular
expression upon the merits of the
depositors' bill. The result was the
bill was defeated in the House; and
the depositors have not yet been sue
ceeded in getting the people to as
sumo and pay their losses. Their
claims, however, are still in existence
only slumbering; waiting for OPP
portunity to appear any demand, rec
ognition and payment; waiting also
for the lobby that shall be strong
enough to carry not only the Senate,
but the House of Representatives,
also.
1.-TWO only of the old lobby were
East Tennesseans; both were Repub-
licans. That kind only was needed
to lobby East Tennessee members.
They worked faithfully and well.
The scruples of the honest Senators
they overcame. Their powers of
persuasion were equal to the emer-
gency; and honest and doubtful alike
they carried with them. They play
ed for large stakes. Eight hundred
thousand dollars is not often on the
lobby table. Fifty per cent. of that
sum was four hundred thousand dol
lars; which divided among eight
makes fifty thousand dollars to each
of the lobby; or if the fee was to be
only % per cent, then it meant
twenty-five thousand dollars to each.
No wonder they were earnest and
successful in their labors in the lower
House of Assembly; and but for the
hue and cry raised by cold Man Saw
age" and his friends, this depositors'
claim might have been saddled as a
debt upon the people of Tennessee ere
this, and the lobbyists been reveling
in their ill-gotton gains"
