CONGRESS IN THE DOG DAYS.

Caught the FIv

IF Congress were sitting in New York
and the Wall-street brokers could see it as
it is now they would mob the House."
These were the words of New York
merchant as he stood in the press gallery
few days ago and looked down upon the
House during the silver debate. There
were 100 empty chairs on the Republican
side of the chamber and every other Demo-
cratic desk was vacant. The remainder of
the seats contained men who were writing,
reading, loafng and chatting, picking
their teeth, playing with their keys and
doing the thousand and one other things
which the average Congressman does
when he is rot making speech. Catch
ings of Mississippi had the floor. A bakers
dozen sat around and watched him, and
you could not imagine from the scene that
we were in the midst of one of the great
financial crises of our national life nor think
that Congress was going to do much to
help US out of it. The people outside of
Washington have little idea how the
House of Representatives really looks
when it is in session. They think that
the Democrats and Republicans are
the strongest friendships of public life are
between men of opposite politics. They
fight each other in debate like Kilkenny
cats, but they hGbnob together in the cloak

arm in arm. AS | write this David B.

number of things connected with
street railways, and he gets big
ing-mill at JohnstowD, Pa, and he
be is said to have an income of hundred
thousand dollars a year. He is a pecu-
larity among statesmen in tina though all
of his business is largely protected by the
tariff he is free-trader. He frankly says
his railroads ought TO belong to the city,
but until Henry George principles prevail
he will keep them. Tom johnson is
queer-l0Oking man. He makes me think
of Dickens fat boy. His round fat head
Is cannOn-ball of rosy flesh. thatched
with wavy brown hair and pierced at the
front with two bright eyes, which look out
az you over fairly shaped nose. This
head is fastened by short, thick neck TO
fat, round shoulders. and his roly-poly
form rolls around the house at a good pace.
Tom johnson does not look to be over 30
years old, but he is in reality 40. He is a
good off hand speaker, and he is esDe-
cially happy in ten-minute oratlOnS He
dresses in business suit. ana cools his fat
face during these warm days with palm

One of the most marked men on the
floor of the House this session is Bourke
Cochran. He would be a striking char
| acter If he had no brains. and his figure
would attract attention anywhere. Tia
! fact that he has brains and an eloquent
tongue makes him the more interesting.
He is one of the straighteSt men in Con-
gress. His tailor could lay him on his
back and measure him for his well-cut
suit of clothes, and he dresses like a French
dandy. He looks like a Frenchman, but
he is an lriShman, and bis voice has all
the mellowness of those of the best speak
ers of old Erin. His French appearance
may come from the fact that he was edu-
Gated in France and also that he is we'll up
in French literature. He reads French,
and great many of his heroes are French
men. He is a great admirer of Napoleon,
and he is not averse To French novels.
His mind is we'll stored with history,
and he has been practicing stump
speaking from his boyhOod. His greatest
speeches have been made at conventions.
He jumped into fame at Chicago when
Cleveland was first nominated and he
added to his reputation BY his great speech
at the last convention. Mr.. Cochran is IA
rich man. He lives here at Washington in
Secor Robeson's house on Sixteenth street.
He paid. l think. S87. 900 for it. He has a
magnificent country seat on Long Island
consisting of about 100 acres, and his sta
bles are said TO be among the finest in the

cal condition by constant exercise. He has

CARGADOR CARRYING LUGGAGE FROM TRAIN

cargador peddler purchases his wares,
which are imported by the large mercantile
establishments. the branch houses OF old
established European business concerns,
or goods which are smuggled into the cOun-
try by the daring shippers who frequent
this coast.
With his stock Of goods, which is limited
only by the size of his excheQuer, the ped
dler starts forth to vend his wares. Some
times he goes alone and sometimes he is
accompanied by his family. He wears
white cotton breeches rolled up TO the
groins. A long-baded butcher-knife is
STUCK in the waistband of his garments.
A large, high-crown straw hat and light
sandals. or gnaracbas, complete his dress
In his hands he carries a strong pCle, his
alpenstock as it were. with which he sue
ceSsfully oTercomes the steep ascentS and
descents, made doubly dangerous by the
heavy load which he carries on his back.
By far the most interesting type of the
cargador, if not the Swiftest and hardest
specimen OF man OF any nation. is the car-
REQ, or mail-carrier. who makes regular
trlps between he seaport OF MaZatlan, on
the Pacific Coast, and the large city of
Durango. on the eastern coast of the Sierra
Madres. The distance between the two
points is eighty leagues, and lies over the
worst cut up and stOniest country imagin-
able. Nothing but strong horses, power
ful mules, tough burros and hardy natives
travel that stretch of country over deep
worn and stony trail. No amount of bridg-
ing and tunDeling would build a railroad
there, and no wagon wheel has ever beer
seen in these wild unless IL passed through
on the back of some pack mule. Yet the
correo covers the distance between Du-
range and MaZatlan and back again In the
incredibly short time of three or four days.
He leaves Durango with the mail wei h.
ing fifty or more pounds and various
articles which he is commissioned to pur-
chase at that place. With his load he sets
out over the stony paths of the rough
mountains at gait which. in the course of
day, would fatigue any horse on even bet
ter roads, and the gait which the cargador
strikes when be starts out of Durango is
the gait which he keeps up till he reaches
MaZatlan. Even with this load upon his
back he chambers anywhere. He follows
the mule trail only when that trail goes in
his direction. When it swerves from bee
line course to avoid some dangerous prec-
| ipice he leaves il to follow little trail of
his own, over which the nimblest burro
could never hope to climb. In this way
he reduces the distance between the two

the best horses and fastest mules have
been ridden to death III covering this
stretch in FIVE
A cArgador. it must be understood, is n OF
always pedGler, out in most cases
treighter, entering into very telling conf
petition with mule and burro trains. A
cargador can carry nearly as much as can
be loaded upon the back of burro and
over one-haif as much as Is carried by
good mule. With his load he can travel
very nearly the same distance in day
over which skilled driver can put his
train of mules. On the other hand. the
gador lives at the expense of onlv a few
cents day, and can consequently carry
