The united opinion. [volume] (Bradford, Vt.) 1881-1970, 1892-07-29

This is "trouble year" among the
members of the house, and the great
majority of them will go home to their
constituents and begin working for re-
nomination and reelection. Fully 200
of the men who now sit in the lower
house will take the first train out Of
town after the final fall of the speakers
gavel few days hence and make bee
line for home.
The hot days of midsummer and early
autumn will find them making their in
dustrious round from voter to voter,
fixing up petty local leaders and making
themselves "solid" with keepers of sa-
looms by creating" the thirsty-the
ever present mob of thirsty city citizens
at the bar.
A few senators will find it necessary
TO get out and hustle for reelection too.
Senator Mills left here two weeks ago
to~make an all summer campaign in
Texas Senator Hiscock-magnifcen
but indolent-will have to look sharp in
New York. Senator Sanders, from far
away Montana, will have to forego the
pleasures of his mountain ranch and
take long railway and stage journeys on
campaign matters intent.
was amused few days ago at lit
tie performance of this amiable and pop
ular senator. He does not often speak.
and there was general surprise when he
rose to address the senate on matter in
which he was not known to have any
interest. The explanation was that a
lnrna of his
snts were in the gallery and that he was
showing off" for their benefit. His de-
sire was to show his friends what a
'smart" senator they had, and so he be-
gan criticising the senate-and heaven
knows the criticism was deserved-for
the manner in which it had habitually
discussed matters not germane to the
pending business.
After a five minute talk, and pretty
good talk, too, on this theme, the senator
sat down with self satisfied expression
upon his face, and with a glance or two
at his admiring constituents in the gal
lery. But what is this? 1t is sly Sena-
tor Hale addressing the senate, and say
ing:
"Mr. President, wish to remind the
senator from Montana that he has
spoken for five minutes without saying
one word on the pending amendment"
In the laughter which followed this
palpable hit Senator Sanders Joined
heartily, though he would have been
better satisfied if his Montana friends
had left the gallery Immediately upon
the conclusion of his own remarks.

Especial Correspondence
WASHINGTON, July 14.-Did you ever
make study of names? | never did
until today, when it occurred to me to
inquire what names have most frequent
ly appeared in the list of American
statesmen. was prompted to this by
the fact that now for the first time in
the history of the country two men bear
ing the same name sit in the cabinet
councils.
In making this study of names and
families, collated from official sources
a list of about 10000 of the men who
have held conspicuous place in the pub
lie service since the foundation of the
republic. The classes of persons in
cluded are delegates to the Colonial and
Continental congresses, the senators, rep
resentatives and territorial delegates of
the federal congress, cabinet ministers,
justices of the supreme and other federal
courts, high officials of the executive
departments, governors of states and
territories, diplomatic ministers, and
such other men as have held positions of
honor and trust in the civil service or
exerted influence upon public affairs.
The list of 10000 names embraces prac-
tically all Of those men who have helped
to make the history of their country,
though as rule the names of those who
distinguished themselves in military or
naval service are not included, save
where they also won distinction in civil
life.
/ was surprised to discover that about
$500, or one-quarter of all these names,
were embraced in 100 family patronym-
les These 100 names become interest
ing to us, therefore. not only for the
great careers which they suggest and
the vast influence their owners have ex-
erted upon the affairs of the country,
but because they unerringly give us a
compendium of 100 typical American
family names.
The reader who cares to do so may
take these 100 pure and prominent
American family names and still fur
Their analyze them. For instance, he
could note their almost unvarying An
glo-Saxon derivation and how they have
come down to us through British, Scotch
and Irish influences, planted in the col
onies of New England, New York, Penn
sylvania, Virginia and the Carolinas,
and thence rapidly diffused by migra-
ton and settlement throughout the
length and breadth of the country.
think, from cursory examination of
the subject, that deeper and more COM
prehensive inquiry and analysis would
enable one to choose 100 families from
the lists of New England, New York,
Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia and
Carolina colonists, and show that the
diffusion of their blood had given to the
country fully one-half of its statesman
ship and civil leaders.
The 100 names which are entitled to
rank as of greatest Importance numer-
ically in the history of the republic,
with the number of individuals of each
name who have won distinction in civil
life, are given below. A pretty careful
of the number of indi-
viduals is given in the first thirty names,
and the remaining seventy names follow
in the order of their numerical impor
tance.

The above thirty names comprise
more than 1900 individuals who have
been presidents, cabinet officers, SEN
ators, representatives, governors, ad-
mirals, generals, or who have otherwis"
served their country with distinction.
The seventy names given below, APP
proximately in the order of their numer-
ical representation in the higher walks
of civil life, comprise nearly 1900 more
individuals of renown:

A Texas nIastOdon.

The skeleton of mastodon has been
found by a farmer living near Sherman,
Tex. From one of the jaws a tooth was
taken that weighs three and a half
pounds. A tusk, still well preserved, is
nearly six feet long.

Many of the family names which have
been represented in the highest Office of
the republic do not appear in the fore
going list. Taking the presidential
names in chronological order we find
among our Great Ten Thousand only six
Washingtons. One was the immortal
George; one his nephew. Bushrod, who
was a supreme court justice, and an
other his granduephew. George c., who
represented Maryland in congress. The
remaining three are Peter G., native
of Virginia, who became sixth auditor
of the treasury; William H., a congress
man from North Carolina, and Joseph
E., who is now a member of congress
from Tennessee.
The Adamses have been one of our
greatest families. Two presidents, who
held many other high offices, Samuel,
the revolutonist; Charles Francis, min.
