PLANS OF POLITICAL C0RPSES.

STATESMEN WHO WILL TACKLE LAW

| Congress is dead. and now nearly 200 states
men who have been eating $1,000 each year
out of Uncle Sans crib are trotting about
Washington on their uppers with nothing
but their hands in their pockets and with
little more than confusion in their heads
They are wondering what they will do.
Many of them have been in public service
so long that they have lost their identity at
home. Their business has gone to smash,
their muscles and minds are out of training,
and they have the look of the defeated.
Three.fourths of the men elected to Con-
gress cannot make 5000 year at home,
and the defeated among these three-fourths
60 back to their districts with expensive
tastes and with practically nothing saved
out of their salaries. One hundred and
seventy odd members have been defeated for
reelection, and half-dozen odd Senators
have been thrown from their cushioned seats
out upon the cruel charities of the hustling
world.
The Outs of the Senate.
The ousted Senators are in the best shape.
Senator Farwell is rich. He has the con-
tract for the big State House in Texas yet to
settle up, and the 100000 acres of land
which he is said to have gotten from it will
keep his mind busy and his muscles we'll
oiled. He will go back to Chicago to live,
and will probably continue the mercantile
business with his brother.
Senator Spooner will go back to his prac-
tice of law. He was railroad lawyer when
he was elected to the Senate, and he is said
to have one of the finest legal minds in Wis
consn. He got $40, 900 year from 1872 to
1882 as the lawyer of the Omaha road, and
he will probably maze twice this amount in
his practice. He will settle in Milwaukee,
but the prospect is that he will have
Washington branch of his law office, and
that he will have considerable Supreme
Court and Department business. He was
much disappointed at not being elected, and
understand that he is talked of as the sue
cessor of Senator Sawyer, and that Sawyer
has promised not to run again. The people
of Wisconsin have, however, very friendly
feeling for old Philetus, and Wisconsin
men tell me they will not allow him to
retire.
Remains of Senator Ingalls,.
Senator John J. Ingalls, still remains
reticent as to his plans. He has not decided
whether he will edit a newspaper at so, 900
year, give stereopticon lectures on the
scenes of the United States Senate during
executive sessions, in which the mastery
art of the cartoonist will only be equaled by
the pyrotechnic language OF the great Kan
sas orator, or whether he will settle down to
the practice of law in one OF the big cities of
the United States and run the business for
Ingalls, and revenue only. He feels he is,
for the time, a political corpse but he has
no idea that the corpse may not be galvan-
lied into life. He Is, in his own words,
perpendicul:- and not horizontal, as he told
lady yesterday
This lady came in to condole with him on
his defeat and she entered the committee
room at the time Senator Ingalls, was super
intending the packing of some long boxes of
books which he intended to ship out. to
Atchison. These boxes lay in front of the
door, and as the lady shook hands with Sem
ator Ingalls, over them, she pointed down.
ward and said: 81 suppose, Senator In
gals, these are coffins and they contain the
remains of the deceased"
Not at AL Cast Down.
"No," replied the Senator, with an en-
phatic nod, as his shoulders went back and
his head went up. mo, madame, you use
the wrong word. These boxes do not con-
tain the remains of the deceased. They
contain the effects of the deceased. The de-
ceased" and here he drew himself up
straighter and straighter, while he threw
out his right arm in gesture OF strength
'the deceased is perpendicular and not hor-
erect position for years to come"
Senator ingalls, will probably do nothing
during the coming summer. He will take
from six t. eight months of rest, and will
then, 1t is safe to say, go on the lecture
platform for the coming season. Among
the gratifying offers he has received to lee
ture are number from churches, Sunday
schools and Chautauqua assemblies, show
ing that the religious people of the country
do not believe that ingalls, considers ''pur-
ity in politics an iridescent dream" He
will probably open law office IN Atchison
in connection with his son, but this will be
more to give the young man the chance of
the prestige of his name rather than for ac-
tual work, and he will only take big cases.
Those Who Will Be Happy.
Wade Ham, pton and Evarts will both 90
back home, and they will devote themselves
largely to their FARMS Evarts has a good
sized estate in Vermont, and be bought an
other one down on the Potomac few years
ago. He will spend part of his time in
raising terraPin, Jersey COWS and South
down sheep, and the rest of it in practicing
law in New York and Washington. Wade
Hampton has plantation or so in South
Carolina, where the more land he owns the
poorer he is, and be may get enough from
outside enterprises to keep his farms going.
As to Senator Blair, he will be happy at
Peking, China, and he can live very hap
PLY on his S12, 500 a year salary. He has
his house rent free. and there is enough civ
ilized society in the Chinese capital to ena-
BILE him to talk education, prohibition and
other reforms.
Senator Moody, of South Dakota, is the
= al, ~
panies of the Black Hills. He gets big
fees, and his salary from this company
amounts to much more than he received in
the United States Senate. He will continue
his practice and will keep his eyes open tor
a chance to get back 10 the Senate.
Equal to ANY Emergency.
What Gil Pierce will do, no one knows. He
NAV blossom out as frst-class lawyer, may
start a newspaper at Bismarck, may be an
applicant for frs;-class mission. may be
Governor of his State or run a ffst-class
book agency establishment. He is one OF
those cat-like men who always fall on their
feet and who are ready for anything and
everything that the world turns up.
AS to Joe Brown, he will probably re-
main Just where he is. He is worth several
million dollars and he feels that this needs all
his attention in his present state of old age
and poor health. This ends the Sen ate,
with the exception OF Senator Payne, who |
rich, old and wiry, will 60 back to Cleve-
land, Ohio. and aid in scheming to boom
the political fortunes of his son-in-law,
William c. Whitney. of New York.
L met Major Mckinley in the Ebbitt |
House last night and asked him whether he |
intended to practice law. run for the Gov |
ernorship Of Ohio, or be a candidate ior a
