Means. Mr.. Stevens IS hard worker
and an effective speaker. In the Demo-
cratic caucus AT the beginning Of the
F'ifty-second Congress. Joseph II. O'Nelil
Of Boston, raised Mr.. Stevens 10 prOmi-
nence by voting persistently for him for
Speaker until the end OF the contest.
The question. "WhO in thunder Is Ste

peared upon the Ways and Means Conn
mittee and has taken an active part In
legislation ever since.
IMPRESSIVE PERSONALITY.
Tall William d. Bynum. of Indiana, is
the tenth member OF the committee. y
man OF impressive personality, he can
never be forgotten by those who saw
his terrific attack upon Speaker Reed In
the Fifty-frst Congress. II fairly mag
netlzed the House, and almost led TO vio-
lence. Indeed a Texas member wis on
the point of mounting the steps 10 the
Speakers tribune when restrained by his
fellow w-members II is said that Bynum's
days in Congress are numbered. n so.
Indiana will lose the most striking ngure
in the House. In politics, however, By
mum is a veritable Stonewall Jackson
apt to reappear In full fighting trim after
Widespread reports of his death.
The last Democratic member OF the
Ways and Means is John G. Tarsney. OF
Missouri. lie was chairman Of the Conn
mittee on Labor I'm the last Congress. and
n prominent member OF the Committee
on Public Buildings and Grounds. A soul
full speaker. Tarsney is one OF the most
popular men on the floor. He believes
in strict construction of the pension
law. An uncompromising opponent OF the
prisoners-of-war pension bill. he drew
upon himself the ire Of several q. A. X.
newspapers. Tarsney. however, was I'M
persious to any such assaults. He him-
self had spent thirteen months in Ander-
sonville prison. and was fully Competent
to act when such legislation was proposed. 3.
Such are the Democratic members or
the Committee on Ways and Means. IL
has been asserted that the South dorni-
mates the COMMITTEES. IL has six or the
eleven Democratic members. All the Re-
publican members, however. come from
the North, so that the committee really
stands six Southern and eleven Northern
men. AMOS j.. CUMMINGS.

| Utteranccs and Hysterical rawlings About
the Anderson Me- cCormick Law.
,rn 49, L,ditnr Of the nisnatch.

To the Editor of the Dispatch:
TO many of the plain. everyday people
In the country who are familiar with
the workings Of our election-laws much
of the recent utterances of certain Demo-
cratic journals, to say nothing of the
hysterical rawlings Of the Populist organs
as to the Anderson-McCormick statute
seems nonsense pure and simple, and in
line with the wave of sentimental gush
ana bosh which has swept over Church
and State in late years. No law which
the wisdom Of the Legislature can de-
wise, is going to reconstruct human na-
ture on perfect lines. You may take
away the cakes and ale on election-day.

Of vOters-white and black-who see in
the franchise only blessed chance TO
make a dollar are going to be IN
fluenced." and vote accordingly, whether
the machinery of the election be simple
or complex Anderson-McC or the
Australian ballot humbug. 1t was so IN
the better days of the republic when
every voter must be a free-holder, II the
freehold were nothing more than
country graveyard, and the votes We're
cried openly at the Voting-place, and It
will keep on so until Gabriel blows his
horn. This is a practical age and pract-
cal politicians are as keenly alive to the
fact as any one else and take but little
stock IN Utopian schemes Of moral and
political reforms.
AN ILLUSTRATION
Years ago up here in this county
there was an old white man who
owned an old graveyard on which he
could vote. and that was about all he
did own. It was known that he was al
ways open TO conviction if the proper
arguments were brought TO bear on or
before election-day. Away back in the
40's there was a close contest between
the Whig and Democratic candidates for
tbe legislature Old Colonel T., the Wing
candidate. had called upon him Of the
graveyard had stated his position IN the
canvass. and hsd sent barrel OF Hour

The Democratic candidate, came along,
and after some diplomatic manoeuvring.
discovered that two sides OF bacon ana
q Mug of manufactured tobacco could
possibly land the graveyard all right on
olection-day. \ few days before elecuoh
Colonel z. heard that Dr. ii. had been
around with the bacon and tobacco, 50
be rode down TO the graveyard free
holder. and told him what ne had heard
and made him own up.
"Now. what are you going to do about
it?" demanded Colonel Il. He OF the
cemetery stood deeply pondering; finally
raising his eyes. he sad: We'll, Colonel,
