shown that he possessed ability Of a high
order, and the courage of Napoleon.
Senator Hill has shattered several idols
during his checkered public life. It re-
mained for him to butcher the sacred
COW of senatorial courtesy in her we'll
guarded stall, and hung her bloody hide
in full view of her worshipers. Senator
Morgan, of Alabama, was prolific of
sneers and rumbling suppressed volcanic
fires for several days. Finally Senator
Hill-one of the senatorial '.juveniles,' y
as he was called by Mr.. Morgan provoked
the subtle! ranean monster to appear, and
showed how tame a thing senatorial
earthquake actually was when produced
in open court. Senator Morgan will not
be- so handsome, but he will know enough
to give wide range to new and untried
senators hereafter. Mr.. Hill is the cool
est man in debate on the floor of the
senate, and, cruel as he is cool, no sign
of passion or excitement is ever manifest
with him. That Satanic smile never
leaves his face while speaking. 1t is not
a pleasant facial attitude. It might be
called malignant; and the tone of his
voice is in sound singular cross between
the sudden tlamor of an alnrm clock
and the wicked roar of circular saw
that is arrested Unexpectedly by rail
way spike. Mr.. Hill will meet lots of
opposition hereafter in the senate. Prob
ably after Mr.. Morgan's experience no
one will care to sneer at the New York
man.
The Northwestern senators have not
put themselves in the way of being run
over by the debate. Senator Washburn
tackled Morgan once o: twice, but was
exceedingly glad to think he had escaped
with his life. He had even let go of
him as suddenly as though he had mad
vertantly touched live electric wire.
And after he had gotten clean out of
reach our Minnesota man examined him
self all over, and seemed to see a better
opportunity than Hill to turn down the
arrogant Alabama man, but discreetly
declined the contest. 1t was we'll. Sena-
tor Washburn has many excellent quail
ties. One of these is not fertility of
recource in an off-hand discussion with
the world as an audience.
Pettigrew and Kyle, Of South Dakota;
Roach of North Dakota; Villas and
Mitchell, of Wisconsin, and Davis, of
Minnesota have been dumb - some of
them because they have no talent for
public speech. Davis and Villas are
trained orators. however, and just why
they have rested no one knows. Hans
brough delivered his maiden effort to a
beggarly amount of empty benches early
in the fight. There are remote indica.
tions that he has lived long enough to
be ashamed of himself since he did It,
Maybe Davis and Villas are right. Sill
ence is very frequently golden. While
| there is no room for doubt that senatorial
speech has for the last two months been
most emphatically silvern. He is very
strong man who, having c. K. Davis
talent for speech, can yet stand guard
over himself and remain dumb as the
Sphinx.
The slant rays of the setting sun shine
out from under the curtain of overhang-
ing clouds. The rain has ceased. Mr..
Petfer remarks: "Mr. President, will.
with the senator's permission, defer the
conclusion of my remarks to some fut-
ure OCCASION" There is mental ssThank
Godr' and Mr.. VOORHEES, arises to remark
"Mr. President, move the senate do
now adjourn until tomorrow at half
past 10 o'clock"
