The hum OF the binder is heard in

The Portland daily press., 1892-10-03

Among congressman two have had
careers that, as Artemus Ward said, are
s.interestin enough for yaller kivers"-
Amos Cummings and John Finerty.
'sThey say" that the former began life
as tramp printer, but it should be
noted that in the olden time the word
tramp had no such base meaning as
now. It simply meant a -four who
worked in many places. At any rate,
Mr.. Cummings rose to be one OF the
brightest journalists, and received the
distinguished honor Of being made the
successor in congress of S. S. Cox. Cap
tain John Finerty, as his friends call
him, got that title in a Fenian raid Oh
Canada: but he went to the northwest
for the Chicago Times soon after the
Custer massacre, joined in the fighting,
and is the only civilian in the nation
who has been three times mentioned in
lantry" He had two horses killed under
him in battle with the Sioux, and was
finally elected to congress from Chi
cago, and from a district in which he
did not live. Long may he wave!
Hon. Schuyler Colfax reached the
highest place of any regular journalist
in this country. Hon. John G. New
holds the most profitable diplomatic po-
sition. Mr.. Frank Hatton, once of the
Burlington Hawkeye and now of the
Washington Post, was postmaster gen
eral, and so was Mr.. J. S. Clarkson, of
the Des Moines Register. Hon. Clayton
McMichael, Of the Philadelphia North
American, has held Office of high rank,
and Senator Hawley, Of the Hartford
Courant, is known of all men. Robert
P. Porter is superintendent of the CEN
sus, though as to the rank of that posi-
ton and the chances of covering ones
self with honor there are serious diff
ferences of opinion. 1t is certain that
for few weeks after the figures are
published in each decennial year this
official gets more hearty cursing than
any other man in the government.
The Portland daily press., 1892-10-03

lean writers. In fact, journalism is most
decidedly looking up all over the world,
and in republican France there are some
men equally great in the sanctum and
the political arena.
Mr.. Edward Lawson, of the London
Daily Telegraph; Mr.. John Jaffray, of
the Birmingham Post, and Captain G.
G. Armstrong, of the London Globe, are
made baronets, and DIR. William Smith,
the venerable scholar and editor of The
Quarterly, is made a knight. 1t was long
thought that the premier would raise the
noted John Walter, of the London Times.
to peerage, but it was not done. 1t is
also taken for granted in England that
Sir Algernon Borthwick, proprietor of
The Morning Post, could have been raised
to the peerage under certain conditions,
but declined to accede thereto.
All these gentlemen are hereafter to
be addressed as 'ssir," that being COM
mon to knight and baronet, though the
latter is the higher dignity. The most
important distinction from the English
point of view is that the knights title dies
with him, while that of the baronet con-
tinues in his family. Nevertheless the
baronet is as to law privileges com
moner-that is, he has no seat in the
house Of lords, as baron has, All these
titles have tinge of absurdity wnen
traced to their origin. A baron simply
means a man, or a real man. Soft would
seem that baronet means little man or
next door to man. Knight originally
meant one who fought on horseback.
Without slang it might be added that
it now oftener implies one who fights
with his mouth.
Most noted of the new dignitaries is
Sir Edward Lawson, chief proprietor of
The Telegraph and son of Mr.. J. NJ.
Levy-Lawson, who founded that paper.
The son began at the lowest place in
journalism, served a long apprentice
ship under his father and rose by long
continued labor to be editor-manager.
His country seat is in Bucks, and he is
an alderman in the Bucks county coun-

that literature and politics are steadily
coming nearer together, and at present
the statesman who cannot on occasion
dash off 'sspicy editorial or write an
article for The Forum, The Arena OF
The North American Review is thought
to be lacking in an important qualliica-
ton. When Horace Greeley was sent
to Congress there was an editorial "horse
laugh" throughout the country, and
when he was sstruck by Rust" as the
slang Of the day had it, instead of being
indignant the journalists appeared to
take it as good joke on his pretensions
as an editorial writer. Horace himself
was not particularly proud of his con-
gressional career, nevertheless he again
entered politics, defeated Mr.. Evarts for
senator, was in turn defeated by a COM
bination and ended by running as a
combination candidate for president in
a campaign which soon degenerated into
burlesque.
His successor in The Tribune, how
ever, has had a career of phenomenal
good fortune. A popular speaker at
ulIlCl6Gu, CIV UWCAlVy3 eSAo
soon after the most noted Of war CORE
spondents, he became at thirty five the
responsible manager of The Tribune.
and without having ever been candi-
date before the people received from
President Harrison the highest save one
Of diplomatic appointments. His sue
cess as minister to France was such
that, if an Englishman, he would now
be Sir Whitelaw at least. In America
it has made him candidate for vice
president, and further this deponent
saith not.
Murat Halstead failed of confirmation
to the German mission. He looks like a
German nobleman of the highest rank.
He likes the Germans and they like him.
When Thorndike Rice was appointed
and confirmed as minister to Russia all
the profession regarded it as an honor to
them, and his untimely death was real
calamity. Charles Emory Smith, of the
Philadelphia Press, was chosen to sue
coed him. The liberality of this admins
tration to newspaper men recalls the fact,
almost forgotten, that both Presidents
Hayes and Garfield rendered first class
foreign missions to Whitelaw Reid, but
at that time nothing could induce him
to abandon journalism.
