slender, energetic. breezy sort of westerner,

sentences fit admirably, and when, after

the great speeches of the session. Yet he is
farmer and when at home he works hard
at his trade Though q soldier through the
war, he is opposed to all wars and rumors
of wars, to appropriations and preparations
for wars. He is an outspoken free trader,
too; would abolish the custom houses and
support the government with an income tax.
Butler of Iowa has made his presence felt.
He has spoken seldom but can think on his
feet, and has been inclined to employ the
Socrattc method and thus to entangle his
adversary in a mesh Of questions. He is
always in his seat. has remarkable mem

| One of the youngest republicans in the

debater by the side Of the leaders. In readi-

THE THIRD PARTY REPRESENTATIVES.
| The alliance sent here an interesting bevy,
| and its oddness is fan-sbaped, growing more
so every day. Perhaps their most effective,
| most aggressive and readiest speaker is
Watson Of Georgia. He is a young, thin
Cassius-built man, long-neoked, sharp
nosed, and he doesn't look as if he had had
a square meal for fifteen years. He is the

the House. He is eloquent and pathetic on
the degeneracy of the times, but once in a

their best speaker.

he is said to have got in. The story runs

declining the nomination when one of his
opponents came to him and said: "See here,
Kittel, want you to stay In the field SO

pay your campaign expenses"

WHAT TWENTY YEARS WILL DO.
Jerry Simpson is popular on the floor in
spite of his eccentricities He is rough aud
ready, always good-natured. and he hates
all monopolies and raps both parties impair
tally.
Otis always says 1--WE" when he means
"I," the only man on the floor who uses the
royal prerogative. Yet he is economical.
When the West Point bill was up he moved
that instead of buying saddle blankets for
the cadets, the old House carpet should be
cut up when changed In the fall and
furnished in proper pieces to the youthful
wards of Uncle Sam. The motion was

Doubtless some of the men have men

years from now. They certainly will If
their states know good thing when they
zee 10 and keep them in their seats in spite of
preposterous county lines. 1t is experience
and long training more than anything else
that has given to congress such men as
Reed, Bingham, Burrows, E. B. Taylor.
