There are few finer looking men in the
world than Hiscock. He is giant Apollo.
His height is about six feet one inch. and
his weight 225. He has majestic figure,
and face which would attract attention
anywhere in the world. His curling lip,
his large, kinelike eyes, soft and deep
rather than luminous, his abundant, wavy
hair, his classical nose and brow, attract
all eyes.
In the senate chamber Mr.. Hiscock is
constantly in the focus of numberless
opera glasses, lorgnons, lorgnettes, spec
tacles, eyeglasses, monocles He does not
seem to know that he is the center of SO
much interest. For man of such great
personal beauty and so much ability as a
statesman Mr.. Hiscock is agreeably mod
est. He is 81 years old. has a family, and
has been in congress dozen years. Mr..
Hiscock wears Prince Albert or Estates
mans coat" and large, flowing, checked
neckties. His hair is dapple gray.
A few years ago Senator Butler, of South
Carolina, was considered the handsomest
man in the upper branch of congress. He
is still a very handsome man, though age
is finally beginning to have its effect upon
him. Mr.. Butler is only few months
older than Mr.. Hiscock, but he does not
carry his years so well. He has soldierly
figure, and about the finest manners in
the senate chamber. No man more
polite. more courtly, more graceful than
he, and when he moves about the
floor of the senate chamber there are
few who remember that the handsome,
dignifed senator lost his right leg at the
battle Of Brandy Station in 1858. Senator
Butler has small foot, a fresh complex
ion, San eagle eye." He wears good
clothes. neat, black neckties, and but one
piece of jewelry-a deaths head scarf pin
with sapphire in its skull. MIR. Butler
has been in the senate since 1877, and is

are faded. Gen. Hawley is growing old. of
course. He has been nearly twenty years
in congress, was gallant soldier through
out the war and a good editor four years
before the war broke out
Senator Hawley is generally looked upon
as one of the young and vigorous men of
the house of lords, whereas his colleague,
Mr. Platt, is quite as generally regarded as
an old man; yet Gen. Hawley is the senior
senator, SO far as age is concerned. The
handsome senator from Connecticut was
married couple of years ago, and is now
the fond papa of yearling angel. Senator
Hawley was born in 1926, first came to con-
gress in 1872, and is likely to remain here
as long as he lives.
Senator Dolph, OF Oregon, Is considered
the finest looking man of the patriarch
order in the senate. He is ten years
younger than Gen. Hawley, and therefore
is not old enough to join the patriarch
class Senator Dolph is tall, graceful,
neat, and, as many of his enthusiastic ad
mirers in the gallery say, "the sweetest old
man with the softest eyes" that ever was.
Senator Stockbridge looks like An En-
glish baron, almost like the last of the
barons. He is grizzled, severe, apparently

round, solid, substantial, well built up in
front-and he carries it in the true sena-

coat buttoned from chin to knee But for
all this he is handsome and Ekable

WASHINGTON, March 2.-There are many
more handsome men in the senate than in
the house of representatives in proportion
to the whole number. Though there are
only eighty-eight senators, it is easy to pick
out ten or a dozen of them who are the
possessors of SO much personal comeliness
as to be worthy of note for that quality
alone, to say nothing of their wisdom, elo-
auence or wit. OF the ten handsomest
senators Mr.. Hiscock is easily the premier.

THE sPEAhERSHIP.

The Speakership contest will be de-
cided within aEOut,a week, and the DEM
ocracy may again congratulate itself
that, whoever is the successful cOmpeti-
tor, there will be no blot on its honorable
record. The candidates are Mr.. MILLS, of
Texas; Mr.. CRISP, of Georgia; Mr..
SPRINGER, of Illinois. and Mr.. MCMIL-
LIN, of Tennessee. Each of them will
90 into the caucus with strcng back
ing, and the friends Of neither can be
sure Of the victory until the last ballot
is taken. Each of them, too, will 60 into
the caucus with a reputation for per-
sonal honesty, purity of life and fear
less devotion to duty which will make
him worthy of the high honor if he sue
ceeds in his ambition.
No greater encOmium could be paid
them than this when one reflects on the
election Of their illuStriOus predeces-
sors. MICHAEL c. KERR. the brave and
blameless; SAMUEL J. RANDALL, who
led the fight againstt the force bill; JOHN
G. CARLISLE, of whom even political
foes speak with respect and affection /;
these three men have set a standard
with which only the strong would dare
be measured. These are the leaders
whose praises the Democracy delights
to sound, and whose public careers are
at once national incentive and cncour-
agement. When COLFAX, vino prosti-
tuted his official position for private
gain; when BLAINE, of the timely sun
stroke; when KEIFER, repudiated even
by his own party; when the tyrant
REED. are forgotten of their fellows,
the names of these three patriots will be
honored and cherished in the hearts of
their countrymen. The Democratic
majority has a serious responsibility in
selecting successor to men like these.
But the GLOBE is confident of the re-
suit, because it believes in the party's
high destiny, and knows the records
OF the four candidates from among
whom choice will be made.

SHERMAN THE SUBTLE.

Senator SHERMAN has at last thrown
off the cloak of concealment, and stands
revealed in his true colOrs. Up to the
time of the disgraceful revelation laid
bare in our dispatches from Cleveland,
O., published this morning, it had been
expected by all Democrats and the
more candid and fair-mlnded Repub-
licans that the veteran politician from
Ohio would advise 'handS OFF, from
any interference with the just claims of
Senator-elect BRICE TO his seat. 1t was
thought that he would so advise as
matter of good politics, if not from
a higher motive. But those who
reasoned that he would do so
are mistaken. Senator SHERMAN heart
lily indorses and cheerfully abets
a contest for the seat of Senator
elect BRICE. In other words, the Re-
publican party needs that seat in the
business" of next years presidential
campaign, and it needs just such hide
bound partisan as Fire Alarm FORAKER
as its occupant. Senator SHERMAN also
wishes to remove from his political path
way so dangerous rival as FORAKER.
For these, and other peculiarly selfish
motives, the senior senator from Ohio is
willing to proceed to extreme lengths.
He dare not openly object to the seating
of BRICE, but lie has nevertheless a
scheme" That scheme includes a
plan for the Republican state commit
tee of OHIO to memerialize the senate,
for the legislature to assume a vacancy,
to elect a mock senator-FORAKER, Of
course-and let that gentleman conduct
a contest. Like JOEY BAGsToCK,
SHERMAN sis sly, de-vilish sly"
Still, wherein is it worse to steal
senatorship than it is to steal the pres
idency? As an expert seat-stealer the
senior senator from Ohio stands peer
less-but not alone. To SHERMAN and
his Republican coadjutors we owe the
loss of Louisiana in 1876, and the theft
of TiLDEN's seat in the presidential
chair. Upon that wholesale political
robbery the whole country, regardless
of party lines, has set its seal of con-
domination. Is Senator SHERMAN, on
the eve or an exciting presidential cam
caign, prepared to again remind the
country of the enormlty of the political
crime i'll 1876 in which he played so no.
