aoRMAN THE PAGE.

He did not remain there long, for in the
Capitol he soon won the esteem of his
fathers friend, ''The Little Giant" who
had the boy transferred to the senate.
Thai was in 1859, and thus, forty years
ago, he who is now the leader of the
Democratic side of the senate entered
that chamber as a waiting lad. He
made his way there, of course. Old
Captain Bassett, who has governed the
pages for about half century, says Ar
thur German was model boy. The
only fault he could find with him was
that he quickly made himself the leader
of the pages and had more influence
ever them than Captain Bassett himself.
From page, Arthur was promoted to
be messenger, and then assistant door
keeper and finally postmaster of the
senate His intimacy with Douglas con-
tinued. 1t was at the feet of "The Lit
tie Giant" that he learned his first les
sons in craftsmanship. He acted for
some time as Douglas private secretary,
and lived in the senator's family. When
Douglas went out to Illinois to have his
great debate with Lincoln, young Cor
man accompanied him. He naturally
became imbued with the spirit of his
chief, and on his return to his duties in
the senate engaged in his first legislative
battle. 1t was the fight over the Kan
sas-Nebraska bill, and the Douglas
Democrats depended upon German as
their "whip" to manage the voting
strength of the friends of the bill, and
by alertness, physical endurance, tact
and caution to defeat the filibustering
tactics of the opposition.
in this school of politics and states
manship the young man proved himself
an apt pupil. 1t is not surprising, since
he was educated in the senate, that he
became an adept in the practical side of
public life. lie was early taught to sit
In the chamber not as dreamer but as
one who was expected to work and
bring results. That lesson he has never
forgotten. The page who acted as

iy watching his companions frisk and
jump about while waiting for the word.
You have noticed also how often this
quiet, steady, unassuming animal gets
good start in the race when the race is
really on, and how frequently he comes
at the head of the bunch to the wire.
Gorman is just that sort of racer.
AS presidential candidate he makes no
noise, writes no letters, indulges in no
speech making. But that he is careful
ly watching every possible competitor,
that he sees and understands every
movement of the great game, is obvious
to all who know and observe the senator
from Maryland. In all America there
is no more shrewd, adroit public man.
The life story of this man who has
come up to party leadership in the ma
tional capital and to promising presi-
Dental possibilities, is an interesting,
though somewhat uneventful, one. He
is of Scotch-I Irish stock, from that sturdy
race of Presbyterians of the north of
Ireland. A little more than a century
ago his grandfather, John German,
came to this country and settled at
Harrisburg. John Gorman was cattle
trader, and eventually took up his resi-
dence in Baltimore.
There was born Peter German, the
father of the senator, self reliant,
hard headed man, with all the vigorous
characteristics of his race. He helped
build the Baltimore and Ohio railroad,
and was one of the contractors who un-
dertook the construction of the first sec
tion of that pioneer line. Arthur Pue
was one Of three sons born to Pker and
his wife, the latter being of the well
known Brown family of Anne Arundel
county. Peter German was active in
politics and public affairs, attended
national and other conventions as dele
gate, but never became candidate for
Office. He was a warm admirer of
Stephen A. Douglas, and Douglas
Democrat.
When Arthur was thirteen years old
his father secured his appointment as
page in the house Of representatives.

"wl,ip" for the Douglas Democrats in
the memorable Kansas Nebraska strug-
gle became the senatorial leader who
directed the opposition to the federal
election bill IN the equally memorable
conflict which took place in the last
congress.
Much of his prominence and popular
ity Senator German owes to his success
in that struggle. Whether or not the
so called force bill" should have been
passed is no business of ours: but for
the tact, the skill, the untiling diplomacy
and masterful leadership displayed by
German in that battle, Republicans and
Democrats alike express the highest adj
miration. His party was in minority
and yet it carried the day. Senator's on
his own side became jealous and balky,
and gave the leader almost as much
trouble as the enemy.
Yet Gorman never lost his temper;
that placid face was never ruffied with a
frown. "My dear SENATOR" he would
say to one of his Democratic colleagues,
who was disposed to balk on him, II
hear You have been looking up such and
such question. 1t is good point and
it ought to be elaborated. Don't let any
one else do it; do it yourself. You are
the only man who can show it up as it
deserves to be. Make one of your great
speeches and it will help the cause i'm
measurably."
OF course the senator who was thus
appealed to forgot his envy, left off his
baking and made the great speech. This
is how German kept his own men in
line, and up to the high pitch of COM
bativeness required by the nature of the
struggle. How he managed the other
side, his friends, the Republicans, with
out whose help he could not win, is
secret history. But the upshot of it all
was success, an honorable success, and
throughout all Dixie there is not Dem
ocrat ON whose tongue the name Of Cor
man is not spoken with affection and
gratitude.
To go back to the early days, young
German held his postmastership of the
senate all through the war, though the
senate soon became Republican. His
natural gravitation toward leadership
showed itself in many ways. When

Early threatened to enter Washington
the employees of the Capitol organized
a military company for the defense of
that edifice. Gorman was made captain
and in this role had the pleasure of go
ing up to the top of the old dome of the
Capitol, spyglass in hand, to reconnoiter.
The committee on conduct of the war
wanted shrewd, active, trustworthy
young man to hunt up information for
them, and German filed the bill. On
one occasion he was sent to General
Grants headquarters near Petersburg
and witnessed the great mine explosion
which occurred before that city.
About 1868 baseball craze ran over
the country. In Washington was or
ganized the National club, which soon
became famous. 1t used to play in the
lot in the rear of the White House, near
the then half finished Washington
monument. There was no grand stand,
but chairs were brought out from the
treasury, the war and state departments
and the executive mansion, and placed
on the sward. The president, cabinet
senators and congressman witnessed the
games, and enthusiasm ran high.
Among the best of the players, one
who was "all round" though he gener-
ally played right field, was Arthur Cor
man. He became captain of the club,
and when the Nationals started off on a
triumphant tour of the country Cor
man was their general manager. They
whipped every club that opposed them,
and their progress through the country
was the occasion of an ovation. Not
until they reached Chicago were they
compelled to lower their banner in de-
feat There they were beaten by an un-
known club of country boys from Rock
ford, nls., whose pitcher was A. G.
Spalding, soon afterward great pro-
fessional player, and now one of the
biggest baseball men in the country.

i happened yesterday to come across
some babies clothes, and it set me think
ing that have been rather neglecting
the babies lately, and so I will mention
one or two of the things that struck my
fancy. In the first place, babies cloaks
are not the heavy, clumsy things they
used to be, where the strings that tied
them nearly cut the tender little throats
as they dragged down from the fasten-
ing. They are now made Of cashmere
or wool H<.1iatta, in white cream, pale
blue, gray or pink, and lined with China
silk, or they are made with the outside
of surah and lined with China silk.
The cloak is made with regular lit
tie waist which buttons close to the
body. The sleeves have bands that but
ton at the wrist. The lower part Of the
cloak is cut Mother Hubbard shape and
shirred ON at the shoulders, passing an-
Oar the arms. Thus the body is kept
warm aud the strain taken Off the neck.
1t is the most sensible garment that has
ever been invented for little babies.
Their bald, round heads are covered
with lace hoods, with full bordering
of lace or very narrow ribbon, and in
terlinod with silk or canton flannel, ao-
cording to the severity Of the weather.
For babies there is line Of soft, fex-
ible fiannels, tiny undershirts with
long sleeves, bands all in one piece
that slip ON over the feet and render
pins unnecessary, little drawer leggings
that keep the mites Of legs warm with
out being cumbersome. Babies shoes
are made without heels or springs and
the toes are made wide SO as to allow
the uncertain little toes to feel for
steadiness; and the petticoats are made
with armholes even for the smallest chill
dren, and they button instead Of pin on,
as the best and most observing mothers

Justice Must Wait.

The Advocate. Topeka.
Since it has been reported that the
Populists might call on the supreme
court for aid in rectifying certain
! irregularities growing out of the
late election, the Republican leaders
have become alarmed lest such pro-
I ceedings should result in the organ
! ization of Populist house OF rep
resentatives, and it has been whis-
pered about Topeka that any such
movement would be cffectually
blocked. 1t looks now as if the
alarm caused by the report may
have been the cause OF the following
edict which was put forth last Sat
urday and sent to the attorneys in
terested in the January docket:
In the Supreme Court of the State of Kansas
Clerks Office, Topeka, Kas., Dec. 10, 1892.
The supreme court will meet on
Tuesday, January 3, 1893, as pro-
vided by statute and as announced
in the printed docket for January,
but on account Of the retirement OF
Mr. Justice Valentine from the
bench early in January, no business
will be transacted by the court dur
ing that week, except re.hearings
on cases already decided, delivering
opinions, ruling upon motions al
ready submitted, and admitting at.
torneys. The cases on the docket
assigned for January 8, 4, 5, and 6,
1898, will be heard on January 10,
IL, IL and Is, each days business,
as now assigned, being continued
one week. G j Brown,

The consistency of our govern

Senator PETER has introduced bill
in the interest of the enforcement of
the laws in prohibition states. 1t
prohibits the collection of special
liquor taxes from those not author
lied by state laws to deal in intoxi-
eating liquors. The passage of
such a measure would prevent our

when it collects the $25 license from

states, from entering into partner
ship with these outlaws to break

For the edification Of the " "inter-

ent article on freight matters sp-
pesred in Saturdays Capital, we will
say that a reduction in the freight on
one article in particular quantity to
one man in one town, or on four srti-
cles in specific quantities to five job
bers in four towns, is not our idea Of
reducing rates; but a reduction in
the rates on all goods in all quanti-
ties to all towns and all people in the
state, no matter whether their wants
be great or small, is what we would
consider an adjustment Of freight
rates. This Geo. T. Anthony refused
to do or TO permit to be done. Il
might ss well be said that a contract
for q reduced rate on 100 cars of lum-
Der to one large merchant in Great
Bend, while all other dealers paid q
higher rate, would be of inestimsble
benefit to the builders and property
owners OF the state, as to claim that
Geo. T. Anthony's order would save a
cent for any consumer, or do good to
any but the five wholesale grocers.
