THE FISHING SEASON.
The First Bite of the Season. -Shad
and Salmon.

Copyright, 1901, by American Press Associa-
tion.]
The fishermen all over the country
must be a very unappreciative class of
men if at the present time they are not
giving thanks for their blessings. In
the cold and highly aerated waters of
Maine the salmon, king of fresh water
fish. is leaping cascades and breasting
powerful currents in a return visit to his
place of birth. In the rivers of Missis-
sippi, Missouri, Kansas, Minnesota and
of nearly all the states along the Ohio
and Mississippi, splendid shad are re-
turning, after an absence of three years
in some waters no one can determine, to
the inlets where the wetnurse Columbia
placed them as eggs and milt. In Florida
the magnificent sport of tarpon fishing
is at its height, and along the Atlantic
coast from Chesapeake bay to Cape Cod
the alewives, or female shad, which pre-
cede the males into the fresh rivers, have
made their appearance.
Time was when the shad, long known
to many as the queen of all fishes for the
table, was regarded as one that could be
taken only with the net, and therefore
unworthy the attention of the sports
man. AS late as 1850 no angler ever
dropped line for them, and who first
found that the shad will take a large,
gaudy fly freely, and being a strong,
powerful and active fish, afford fine play
to the fishernan-who this benefactor
was who deserves the gratitude of all

willing to hire lawyers to get passed,
need not necessarily be bad measure.
The modern lobbyist depends for the
most part entirely upon intellectual in
fluences. He is not mistaken in assum-
ing that majority of public men are
sincere and painstaking; that they want
to know the right and the truth. 1t is
his duty and, if he have good case, his
pleasure to enlighten them, to convince
them, to win their confidence and enlist
their sympathy. II hiscase is not a good
one he will do well not to work on con-
tingent fee, for there is no more critical
court, none more difficult to please, none
with keener vision for fraud or deceit
than the Argus eyed congress.
How does the lobbyist work? He goes
at his task just as you OF would if we
had bill we wanted passed He first
approaches the members of the COM
mittee having the bill in charge If he
can carry the committee with him, half
his battle will be won. This done he
must arrange a plan of campaign for
getting the bill up and on its passage,
for allaying opposition, for success in
the other house, for management of the
committee of conference, etc. Often
you will see the lobbyist-the legisla-
tive attorney would be fairer term
standing his man up in one of the al
coves of the congressional corridor while
pouring upon him fusillade of argu-
ment and fact. Here and there is a lob
byist whose stock in trade is the secret
lives of public men. One such is in my
minds eye-a silent, sinister, cat eyed
man, who has spies in brothels and who
keeps coachmen under pay. Even this
vile creature has caught the spirit of the
times and ''handles" men by honest
methods when he can.
Women lobbyists? They are few and
far between. The imaginative observer
about the Capitol will tell you that
Speaker Reed moved the ladies' reception
room from its old quarters next the ways

THE WOMEN LOBBYISTS CORNER.
! In fact nine-tenths of the 80 called
lobbying of this day is respectable and
legitimate. There certainly is no offense
against morality or the law in going be-
fore a committee of the house or senate
to make argument for or against any
proposed legislation. Everything de-
pends upon the methods employed. A
large majority of the men who make a
business of watching legislation for
clients are lawyers of good standing,
many of them ex-senators or represen-
tatives. Under the rules of the two
houses of congress eX-senators have the
right to go upon the floor of the senate
and ex-representatives upon the floor of
the house in case they are not interested
in pending legislation. In justice to the
many men who have retired from con-
gress to practice law in Washington,
and who are generally classed as lobby
lists, it should be said these rules are
rarely violated.
Of course lobbying is going on all the
while. The point make for the credit Of
the American people-for what is Wash
ihgton but the national life and morals TO-
cussed and nirrored?-is that it is for the
most part respectable lobbying. Evi-
dence of the progress that has been
made is to be found in the fact that the
cry of ga lobby no longer frightens
any one. During the recent congress a
number of important measures for
which it was well known lobby was at
work were taken up and passed. The
Legislative mind-even that from the
backwoods- moved up few pegs,
and is now able to see that measure
which some one wants passed, and is
Los Angeles herald., 1891-04-23

Unless the historians of decades gone
by, and the traditions that have come
down to us from those periods, are all at
fault the time was not so very remote
when corruption stalked rampant
through the halls of congress, statesmen
stuffed their pockets with bribes in the
shape of currency or stock certificates,
and women fair and tickle reigned like
queens in the galleries of the national
legislature or in their own sequestered
bowers. It was just after the war, ac-
cording to all accounts, that the bust
ness of lobbying best thrived.
It was there that Sam Ward reigned
as king of the lobby. His business, his
influence, his capabilities were as well
recognized in Washington as the func-
tions of the lawyer or undertaken in an
interior village. If you wanted will
drawn in Smithville you went to Squire
Jones, and if you wanted lobbying done
in Washington you called on Sam Ward
The king of the lobby was gentleman,
a born entertainer, celebrated bon
vivant, a prince of hosts, but in addition
to these qualities and graces he had
brains, was the intellectual peer of any
man in public life, and though there was
no secret. about his profession or his
trade, whatever you call it, some Of the
ablest and most influential men of his
time were proud to call him their friend.
To all outward appearances Ward
lifted lobbying up to gentleman's level,
made it social field, in which swallow
tail coats, terrapin, wine, flowers, per-
fume, wit, jest, song and story were
chief weapons; but it is also whispered
that underneath all this darker, more
sinister influences were at work, that
regulations were ruined and others held
suspended at thewill of the shrewd opera
tors.
Now, it seems once in lifetime only
that public man is involved in lobby
scandal at Washington. 1t cannot be be-
cause men are smarter or more cautious
today than they were a quarter of a
century ago; it must be because they
are more honest, because modern lobby
ing is on much higher level than Sam
Ward had it. Modern lobbying is a
sort of attorneys trade. 1t is almost as
respectable as the law. Just as lawyers
practice before the courts, lobbyists prac-
tice before congress. They take fees,
generally contingent, and they work
hard to win their cases; but they rarely
bribe the jury or employ any secret OF
disreputable means. They do not even
take the jury out to dinner and wine
and dine the officers of the court and
their friends, as Sam Ward did.

WASHINGTON, April 17.--There was
much talk during the recent congress OF
the presence of lobby. There is always
talk of a lobby in Washington-more
talk than lobby in ninety-nine cases out

the recent congress was no more under
the influence of lobbyists than other con-

certain that the "third house" is becom-
