Death of Senator Plumb.

Hon. Preston B. Plumb, United
States Senator from Kansas, died at
Washington last Sunday morning at
1880 o'clock, of apoplexy, superin-
duced by overwork. He had been
warned by his physician two weeks
before hand to quit work and take
a rest, but he failed to heed the warm
ing. His death removes from the
ranks OF the Senate one Of the fore
most, and most useful men on the Re-
publican side. Washington dis
patches give the following brief
sketch of Senator Plumb's life:
Senator Plumb was born in Dele
ware County, Ohio, Oct. y, 1887, so
that he was in his 54th year at the
time of his death. He was not col
lege graduate, but left the common
schools for the printers case, and in
pursuance Of his vocation as a jour-
neyman printer in 1856, in
the bloody days OF the his
tory and newly organized territory of
Kansas, walked into that Territory,
and with the vigor and indefatigable
energy which has throughout his life
been his chief characteristic the
young man plunged at once in
to the thick of hot political strife
which was then waging over the
State slavery question. He at once
went to the front and was chosen a
member of the Leavenworth Consti-
tutional convention of 1859. He was
admitted to the bar in 1861, when
the place of his adoption became a
State of the Union; served in the
Legislature in 1862, was Chairman OF
the Judiciary Committee, and subse.
quently reporter of the Supreme
Court.
When the war broke out he enter
ed the army as Second Lieutenant in
the Eleventh Kansas Infantry and
served successfully as Captain,
Major and Lieutenant Colonel OF that
regiment, and was commissioned a
Colonel Of the same regiment in Au-
gust, 1862.
After the war Mr.. Plumb, return
ing to Kansas, was elected a member
and Speaker of the Kansas House OF
Representatives, and in 1876 was
chosen United States Senator to sue
coed James NJ. Harvey, Republican.
He took his seat in 1877 and has rep.
resented his State as Senator ever
since that time. His term of Office
would have expired March 3, 1885,
Undoubtedly Senator Plumb has

Didn't Want Any More Like Enloe

A Washington special in the
American Of Tuesday contained the
following:
A good joke has just been made
public at the expense of Mr.. Enloe,
of Tennessee, who was one Of Mr..
Reeds most bitter and uncomprO-
missing enemies In the last Congress.
EnlOe was noted for his antagonism
to Reeds rules and never lost an
opportunity to express his contempt
for them and their author, but all
ways, Of course, within the parlia-
mentary limit. 1t is related that a
member from North Carolina, Mai.
McClammy, diminutive specimen
of piney woods statesman, was So
licitous to call up a local measure,
and failing on all occasions to catch
the coveted eye of the Speaker he
eventually approached the desk and
proceeded to argue the merits of his
proposed legislation, but to no pur>
pose, for Reed would give him no
manner Of assurance. Finally the
Major declared to Reed that this par
ticular bill was necessary for his peo-
pie, and its passage or rejection in
volved his reelection. "And Mr..
Speaker" remarked McClammy, 81
warn you that if l fail to pass it, my
district will send a man here as my
substitute who for pure cussedness
will exceed Enloe, of Tennessee, as
the numeral ten exceeds the mineral
one" This argument is said to have
fetched Reed, and in his drawing,
nasal way he replied: "Well, Mac, if
you have meaner Democrat than
EnlOe in your parts who threatens
to break into this body, trot out your
bill and / will recognize you" And
he did.

succeeded in stamping his strong in
dlviduality upon the legislative his
tory of the United States in more per-
manent character than have the
the majority Of his colleagues. He
was a man Of most positive views,
but always had keen appreciation
of the line Of separation between the
impracticable and the expedient,
His devotion to Republican princi-
pies was beyond question, but he
never hesitated TO point out what he
regarded as mistakes in the policy
outlined by the party leaders and to
use his best efforts to correct them.
He was peculiarly fitted to grasp de-
tails. That faculty found ample
field for exercise in the discharge Of
his functions as Il member of the
Senate Committee on Appropriations,
and it was generally understood
among his brother senators that SEN
Plumb was unimpeachable in any
statements he made concerning the
intricate machinery of the Govern
ment service. He was chairman Of
the Committee on Public Lands and
a member Of the Committee on Agri-
culture, Executive Departments,
Method and Administrative service Of
the Senate.
Senator Plumb's social qualities
were highly esteemed in Washing.
ton and his presence was always APP
preciated at social gatherings and a

His interests were large, for Senator
Plumb was a wealthy man, and in
addition to his senatorial duties he
was actively concerned in railroad
and industrial enterprises and was
widely known in financial circles as
an indefatigable worker.

DURING the Speakership contest
Gov. Buchanan spent several days in
Washington, and afterward went to
New York with other State officials
to arrange for loan of $2j0,000 to
meet the January intere)t on the
State debt. The States revenues
seem inadequate to meet its Obliga-
tons, .and it looks inevitable that
the next Legislature will have to
raise the rate Of taxation or else find
more property to assess.
The Nashville American should
swallow its dish Of Speakership crow
more gracefully, end not keep
spewing it out upon all Democrats
who do not altogether share its over
weaving admiration of Mr.. Mills or
its very narrow opinion of Mr.. Crisp.
We know that crow is very hard to
swallow at best, and the dish which
the American now has before it is
particularly rank and unpalatable,
but gagging over it won't improve it
II particle, and the longer the Amer
lean puts Off gulping it down the
more nauseating will it become. The
american is probably entitled to
some degree of sympathy at the pres
ent time, owing to the fact that its
digestive organs have been sadly out
of repair ever since the great Mellow
Northumberland clam bake
Of 1890, when that journal imbibed so
much Of the essence of the uncanny
bivalve as to render it just little de-

entirely overcome the bad effects OF
that high old jambOree. The paper

the Democratic party any good by its
