All Ranks LeVclcd by Politics.

From the Chicago Record
Politics, like love, levels all ranks, which
fact was demonstrated at the recent cleo
ton.
One of the best-known women in Chi
cago, residing in the north division, went
to the polling place on the first day of reg
istration to be enrolled as voter.
AS she went to the carriage she observed
that the second coachman was on the box.
Then she remembered that Patrick had
taken a leave of ebsence for day.
Arrived at the polling place, she found
Patrick In charge of the registration book.
He did not rise when she entered: neither
did he put his two fingers up to his fore
head and address her as Mum" Patrick
evidently grasped the full humor of the
situation, but he maintained his dignity
and administered the oath.
"Plaze give me your name, madam" he
said
She did so.
"Where do you reside?"
She gave him the number in Lake Shore
Drive and calmly answered the other ques-
tons as to birthplace and time of resi-
dence in the state, county and precinct.
Then she bowed and went away.
Again on election day the coachman put
her through the course of questioning and
showed her how to fold her ballot. Both
did their parts beautifully. The other peo-
pie in the polling place wouldn't have
known that the two had ever seen each
other before.

having maintained himself while youth
by teaching school. 1t was his intention to
study medicine, but he became sincerely
interested in church work, and this inter-
est led him to seek orders. He was made a
deacon by Bishop Clarkson in 1877, and
worked under him for two years. Suisse
Quently he took two years course In
theology in Seabury Seminary, graduating
in 1881. From 1881 to 1884 he was In i'll
health, but In the latter year accepted a
call to Holy Trinity parish, in Minneapolis.
and served there as rector until, much
against the will of his Pensioners there,
he determined to come to Washington.
Mr.. Graham was one of the busiest church
men in Minnesota, having been for six
years dean Of the central convocatiOn Of
that state, and for several years was Sec
rotary of the board of missions Of the state
Of Minnesota. In addition to his regular
parish work, he had three chapels under
his care. He is earnest and enthusiastic,
and already has inspired the members of
st. Marks with much hope for the future
of the parish. In the pulpit he speaks
without notes, and Is direct and convinc-
ing. He has a wife and little child, who
will soon join him here.

weise thinks Of the Nicaragua canal Is
probably of no great consequence to Con-
gress, but 1t would doubtless benefit Mr..
Caruth that Mr.. Karewese should see his
name and memorial set forth at length in
the records of the national Congress, and
preserved in the archives of the govern
ment. Therefore Mr.. Caruth asked unani-
nous consent that 1t should be done. This
provoked some debate, the question of pro-
priety being gravely raised by several MEM
bers, and 1t was while the discussion was
at its height that Mr.. Kilgore came in
and taking in the situation promptly solv-
ed 1t by an objection, thereby announcing
that he is again in the field. The me-
mortal would have consumed but ten lines
CT space, and the debates of those who op-
posed its insertion on economical grounds
occupied twenty-seven lines. Then wick

goes without saying that he never iniects
his personality into the business in hand
except for good reason and always with
telling effect Sometimes il Is to embarrass
the opposition or to fire a volley of wit
and sarcasm, or perhaps to call halt upon
an unworthy measure.
One day this week bill was before the
House the discussion of which was excit-
ing no particular attention, and being par
ticipated in by but few members inter
ested In timber and land laws. A reference
by one speaker to the statutes of limita-
tons caught Mr.. Reeds ear, and IN mo-
ment he was on his feet
The statutes of limitations" said Mr..
Reed, are intended for the benefit of the
community; not for exact justice, but for
that Kind or rough justice necessary in
the world"
But they have never yet teen invoked

Rae OF Arkansas, who represents a Sec
ton where the doctrine of sovereignty Ia
held more sacred than the Ten Command
mentS, IL possible.
This was Mr. Reeds opportunity for a
homily, chance he says, to further
the propaganda of common sense in legls-
lation.
Il know that" replied Mr. Reed, but
1t is because OF the prevalent idea of the
sovereignty and OF its having extraordi-
nary rights. 1t IS one of the commonest
things in human nature to cling to lot
Of things long after they have ceased to
be OF Importance or advantage. There was
time when 1t was necessary to protect
sovereign rlBntS, out tnat time seems TO
have passed by.
I'VE ought to look at the sovereign Just
the same as we look at the rest of the
world. 1t is a question of pure convenience
and advantage to the community; 1t Is not
a FETCH"
This brief but pointed dissertation upon
sovereignty is but an example Of his way
OF getting OF his ideas when opportunities
occur. At these times his terse sentences
often convey volumes of meaning, and
are the more effective for being extempo-
raneous, losing no strength for the appear
ance OF being oIacular.

the tariff bill was not altogether salts

eXulting and does not do any out-and-out
bowling for Joy, but there is a vast amount
of meaning in the quaint lines about his
twinkling eyes. He has allowed his beard
to grow again, and is quite like the ia

induce the Speaker to recognize the men,
Der who desires to call II up. AS the op-
portunity for individual recognition is linn
tied each day and the wants of the men,
to get on the list. The Speaker is called
upon to assume considerable responsibility
in this connection, for he must frequently
decide upon the advisability of calling up
proposed legislation. If he thinks that a
bill Is not meritorious or that resolution
is offensive he can squelch it by refusing
TO recognize a member to call II up.
Sometimes when a man is denied adms-
sion for a pet bill he becomes ugly and
declares that no one else shall receive
unanimous consent, and he places him
self in the place of legislative dog In
the manger to that extent.
The Speaker does not undertake to pass
personal judgment upon the precedence

with committee chairmen as to what bills
shall be brought up and their order
Nearly every member has from one to
fifty private pension bills, which he thinks
are especially meritorious, and those Con-
gressmen whose terms expire March 4
are anxious to close up these matters be-
fore they go. 1t Is probable that before
the session ends a day or two may be
set aside for the consideration OF such
bills.
Congressman Kilgore, the chronic OBJ

week, and he had barely put his foot in

of the objection was lost in the laughter or
