For many years this old clock was
known for it's veracity. None of our
fathers of craftsmanship would have
thought of doubling its accuracy any
more than they would doubt the cardi-
nal truths of current religion.
In stntuary hall there stands mar
BILE clock, conspicuous for its position
over the entrance from the rotunda. II
was made for the house of representa-
tives by an Italian named Franzoni, at
the cost of $4,000, and placed in its
present position when the meetings of
the house were held in what is now
sailed statuary hall. The clock was
never paid for, however; and that is a
singular story. A treasury draft for
$4,000 was made and signed, ready for
the artist, Franzoni, but it has never
been called for or claimed Franzoni
died in New Orleans, manifestly with
out heirs, and the old treasury draft
remains in the Office of the register of
the treasury, and will remain there for
ever. The clock is carved from beauti-
full marble and represents a winged
chariot, the wheels of which rest upon
the globe, and in it stands the female
figure of History in Grecian robes re-
cording the passing events upon a
tablet, while the hands of the clock.

are marked the hours, indicate The

When Mr.. Dallas. @. Pennsylvania,
was vice president French clock
under glass csse was purchased for
the vice pres' dents room at the cost of
$500, and t.lere it stands to-day, ticking
away the momentous moments. There
is anr ther clock in the vice presidents
room which stands almost as high as
the ceiling. 1t is very handsome and is
heavily plated with gold and silver. 1t
keeps accurate time and is therefore
useful as well as ornamental.
For many years man named Bates
has made a good living out of these
capitollne clocks. He is the official
timekeeper and clock repairer. He re-
ceives Il regular salary for acting as
guardian for Father Time. 1t takes all
of his time to look after Time, too. He
keeps the clocks in repair, and has cer-
tain days for certain clocks. 1t would
be impossible for him to visit all of his
children every day. so he let's some of

sometimes has to climb pretty high to

The Jersey Central Withuraws-All Agree
ments with the Reading Road Cancelled
and Terminated.
TRENTON, n. j. Jan. 10-The great
Reading coal combine is broken. The
New Jersey Central Railroad company
has withdrawn from it and hereafter
will be, operated Independently,
the same as it was be-
fore the agreement with the Read
ing g. Lehigh Valley was entered
into. The authorities here decline to
speak about the matter but an official
of the Central confirms the truth of the
news. He said that Attorney General
Stockton was in possession Of
communication from the Central
in which it acknowledged that
all its agreements with the
roads in question are Cancelled
and terminated. This applies also to
the leases under which the coal lands
were recently absorbed by the combine.
What influences moved the Central to
take this step are not known, but un-
doubtedly fear of action on the part of
the Legislature had something, if not
all, to do with it.

SENATE COCK.

hour of the morning has closed, the so
called morning hour" of the senate
and house tegins.
When t.ie ball drops at meridian on
the dome of the observatory, when the
whistles sound and the bells ring
throughout the city, and the worllmen
everywhere begin to rattle their
dinner pals, the hands of the electric
clocks at the capitol spring straight to
the hour of twelve. picking up
moment of lost time or dropping
moment they have marked too soon.
Then the speakers gavel falls and it is
time for morning prayer. High noon is
the hour of hours in this marble temple
of law and order All the capitol
clocks must mark that time punctually,
if no other hour in the day, and all the
bells must strike in unison. At noon
congress has its birth and at noon it
expires. 1t is only on extraordinary
occasions like the present, when con-
gress is hardly its natural self, that it
meets from day to day at any other
hour. All committees, unless they
have received some special dispensa-
ton, cease to have power to act as
committees when the clock on the
mantel strikes twelve. Action taken
after that would have no binding force.
Therefore, the official clock, whose
statement as to the hour cannot he dis
puted, is on the mantel in each of the
scores of committee rooms.
The clock enters very largely into
Legislative business. Besides starting
the house and senate on their daily
course and ending the powers of com
mittees, it measures off the allotted
portions of time for bills whose fate de-
pends upon the use of the moments to
its credit, and it cuts congressional elo.
ouence into sections varying in length
from one minute to sixty.
The senate clock, the very one which
Capt. Bassett turned back on March 4,
1871, stands now in the senate corridor
in a corner where it seems lonely and
bashful. 1t deserves better treatment.
1t is an old-time wooden clock about
eight feet high and was evidently built
to last for all time. 1t is as substantial
in appearance as an oak or mahogany
table of ye olden time. 1t is large
enough for man to stand inside OF
without discomfort. 1t was built es-
pecially for the senate at considerable
cost and was used as the official clock
of the senate until'the old senate cham.

POPULiSTS NOW RULE.
Lewclling Inaugurated Governor of Kan
sas-Synopsis of His Address.

sas-Synopsis of His Address.
TOPEKA, Kan, Jan. 10.-The triumph
of the populists of Kansas, made pos
sible at the polls in November, was
fulfilled few minutes after noon Mon
day when the state government was
formally surrendered by the van
quished to the victors and Gov. Le-
yelling was inaugurated. The cere-
mony took place in the hall of the
house of representatives and was wit
messed by probably the greatest crowd
that has ever assembled in Kansas on
a similar occasion.
After Gov Humphrey, the retiring
executive, had made a brief address,
he introduced Gov. Elect Lewelling,
whose appearance was the signal for
hearty demonstration. Upon quiet
being restored the governor-elec ct
spoke at some length, syonopsis of
his remarks being as follows:
He said that the Survival of the tittest'
was the government of brutes and reptiles and
such philosophy must give place to u govern
ment which recognizes human brotherhood to
protect the rights OF the laborer and producer,
that sectional animosities be forgotten. The
state. he continued, was greater than party,
but the citizen is greater than the state while
the family is the priceless jewel of our
civilization. The problem was how to make
the state subservent to the individual rather
than to become his master. The government
then must make II possible for the citizen to
live by his own labor. II it fails of these
things 1T ceases to be of advantage 10
the citizen. He is absoved from his
allegiance and is no longer held by
the civil compact But government is not q
failure. This is the generation which has come
10 m hp lp aud
the grandeur of civilization shall be emphasized
by the dawn of the new era. in which the people
shall reign "when the withered hand of want
shall not be outstretched for charity, when lib
erty, equality and justice shall have permanent
abiding places in this republic
Having finished his speech Gov.
Lewelling waived his hand in token
that he desired the audience to cease
its applause. When the applause had
subsidized the oath of office was admi n
istered by Chief Justice Horton.
