consul general. Colonel Frey returned
home about three years ago and has since
been active in politics. He has been
member of the Swiss national congress
at various times, and from 1875 to 1876 he
was president of the senate. He looks
like soldier, as he is. Colonel Frey has
just passed his fifty-fourth year.
President Elect Schenk. who bears the
academic title Of doctor" began active
life as a clergyman, but quit the church
to enter politics. He is now nearly sew
enty years Of age and has been promi-
nent since 1850. From 1857 to 1868 he
was member of the federal council
from the canton of Berne, and in 1862 he
became vice president. Between 1865
and 1880 he was five times president of
the Swiss confederation. He became
minister of the interior in 1891 and was
vice president during 1892. He is tall.
broad shouldered, well made man Of ex-
cellent education, and he has high rep
utation throughout Switzerland as pub
lie speaker. His home is st Berne, where
he is now living with his second wife.
The president and vice president are
officers of the national cabinet, body
which, with these two officers, numbers
seven. They are chosen late in Deem
Der of each year by the two houses of
congress and take Office on the 1st of
January to serve for one year. The 9th
er members of the bundesrath serve
three years. The houses of congress are
the senate, of forty-four members, and
the house of representatives, of lat men,
bers. The Swiss call the two houses han
denrath, or state council, and national
rath, or national council, and the two to-
gether are called s-versammlung
or federal assembly.
The president of the Swiss confedera-
ton has neither great power nor much
patronage. He must sign all bills passed,
but he cannot veto a measure Few ap-
pointments are in his hands, and his
salary is under 5000 a year. That of
the vice president, as Of the other mem
bers of the bundesrath, is about So 400
year. The president may not serve for
two consecutive terms He may not in
terfere with the affairs of the individual
cantons, each of which has its own gov
ernor and legislature, like the states of
the American Union. There is a gov
eminent building at Berne for the meet
ings of the two legislative houses, but
no residence is provided for the presi-
dent. So simple are all the federal
affairs of Switzerland that there is
scarcely any formality when the presi-
dent assumes Office. He merely takes
the oath at the meeting of the seven
ministers, and there is no excitement
and little interest at the advent of new
administration.

Education and the Fair.

Speaking of one feature of the Column
bian exhibition, a Boston paper says that
there are no institutions in which patri-
otto Americans take a keener pride than
the schools, academies and colleges. The
great common school system is our cou,.
try's unique glory. To make display
of American products and progress
which ignored the schools would be short
sighted and absurd. At the express and
repeated invitation of the directors of the
Worlds fair the educational authorities
in the several states, aided by appropria-
tons, set 10 work tie prepare suitable ex-
hibits of the work of the schools and col
leges. Large sums of money have al
ready been expended, with promise of
the most satisfactory results, and the ex-
hibition space asked for is likely to be
too small rather than too large.

one of the clearest-headed men in the
party. He never figured in national
affairs until he came to Washington
as Mr.. Cleveland's private secretary.
Soon he made that position one of the
most important in the executive es.
tablishment. He is well-known in
New York. He is born politician
with more depth and breadth than the
term politician ordinarily implies. He
is clear-sighted and adroit in all
things and has made a study of men
so as to control them. In New York
State politics he has been known since
he was mere boy. Born in COrt-
landville, n. Y, forty-one years ago,
he was educated at Union College and
began interesting himself in politics
at an early age. He became news
paper man and was index clerk of the
assembly at nineteen. Samuel j. Til
den was attracted by him, and under
Tilden he learned the politics of New
York. AT the age of twenty he was
delegate to the convention at which
Tilden defeated Tweed, and in '75 was
secretary of the New York State COM
mittee. Later he became interested
in the Albany Argus, and when Mr..
Cleveland was elected governor of
New York, became his private secre-
tary. He has been intimately ascot
ated with Mr.. Cleveland ever since,
and has been of great service to him
in his public career. Since Cleveland
left the White House Col. Lamont
has been active and very successful in
street railroad enterprises. He has in
him the elements of success which
serve him we'll in all undertakings.
He is regarded as one of the shrewdest
men In politics and has no stain of
bad political methods on his reputa-
ton. Those who know him we'll have
no doubt that he will be one of the
potential factors in the success of the
new administration.

has enjoyed n high reputation for q
number of years. He bears n good
reputation for legal ability, brain
power and social and personal quail
ties which give him a wide popularity.
He is a man of uncommonly large
stature, with an amiable countenance
and a good disposition.
He is native of New York, having
been born in New London, Oneida
county, in December, 1S47. He was
but years old when his parents took
him to Buffalo, and he still holds his
residence there. He attended the pub
lie schools in Buffalo until he went to
a private school in New Haven to pre-
pare for college. He was graduated
with honors from Yale, after a four
years. course. At the age of % years
he began the study of law with A. P.
Laning, who subsequently formed q
copartnership with Grover Cleveland
and Oscar Folsom. In the fall of 1872
Mr.. Bissell formed a partnership with
Lyman X. Bass, and about year later
Mr.. Cleveland became a member of
the firm, which was thereafter known
as Bass, Cleveland & Bissell. That
firm was gradually dissolved; first by
the removal of Mr.. Bass to Colorado
on account of ill health and then by
the election of Mr.. Cleveland as gov
ernor of New York.
Mr.. Bissellre-o the firm and
for two or three years it bore the name
of Bissell, Sicard and Goodyear The
firm has always enjoyed large prac-
tice, and Mr.. Bissell for the last few
years has been obliged to refuse q
large amount of the business which
has been offered to him. The special
character of his practice has been that
of counsel for corporations. He is re-
garded as being one of the ablest rail-
road lawyers in the country. He has
been president of two or three rail-
roads in the western part of this State
and In Pennsylvania. He is now a
director in a large number of corpor-
atlons, both railroad and commercial.
