Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1892-03-13

yelling Grady's statue. He got off some
very good things, and, perhaps, as with
other men, some of his extemporaneous
things had been pretty we'll thought out
before. But one of his thoughts remains
in my mind about this Capitol He drew a
picture of the freside, the parents and the
children, family obedience, love, LOYALTY,
the prayer, the meal, the kiss the blessing,
the going to bed, the rising up, and, having
finished his picture, he said: "There is the
beginning of government" Then he de-
scribed coming to Washington and seeing
the great marble Capitol, with its many
chambers and halls, its arches and dome,
the courts in session, the Representatives
in their chamber, the Senators in session,
all system and power, and he said: 'There
is the end of government" And the Capt.
tol in its uses will always be impressive to
good citizens as the end of government, the
extreme organization.
A Specimen of Grady's Humor
Grady was humorous fellow. As we
were coming out of the fair at Atlanta there
was part of the field where several nun.
dred negroes had gathered, and who looked
at me without ceremony, till a voice shout
ed, 'Three cheers for Henry Gradvr'
Grady raised his hat, and with it in his
hand, with fine Irish courtesy, he said, re-
plying to their cheers, ''These are the fell
lows I let in on free tickets; that is why
they cheer me-"
The Senator quoted something else from
Mr.. Grady, and said that he had picked out
of Grady's book that particular sentence to
put into his speech at Atlanta, but glanc-
ing at the monument, he found this text
inscribed there by those who set it up.
With twinkle in his eyes, the Governor
said: 'Don't you often plume yourself
upon some literary or newspaper perform
ance which you think is going to make
stir in the world and find it fall very fat,
while on the other hand something that
seemed to cause you no pains and give you
no vanity lives and is repeated for years?
I thought had good thing on Chauncey
Depew, fine speaker as he is. He went out
to the Grant monument at Galena, and re-
citing the names of Washington, Hamilton,
Lincoln and Grant, he said that those four
would be remembered in the chaos and
confusion of the infinite number of reputa-
tions cotemporary with them.
An Idea That Foil Flat
sT was a Jefferson boy, ana thought
would take him up on substituting Hamil
ton for Jefferson. So, when they dedicated
the monument in the western part of the
State, 1 laid myself out for Jefferson, but,
don't you know, 1 never heard anything
more about it. Nobody would even sauce
me for it?''
"Ah, we'll, Senator. you were In Hamil-
tons time, at the realization of institutions
and cities and things; Jeherson's time
was amid rusticity and eighteenth century

GLOW do you like being Senator at
Washington
81 have been asking myself that question.
You see, 1 am bachelor; these men who
like it have their families here and their
homes, and the society, they tell me, is kind
and numerous. These men, no doubt, enjoy
Washington. Then We have our Southern
friends, to whom this is Northern climate,
and who would be well content to spend the
whole year here and have Congress last over
all summer. But do not find my time well
filled in. come from a colder CLINE where
men are stirring about actualities. I do
