Most of the men who come to congress
are lawyers. A law practice is built up
by years of effort and steady application
1t is natural, therefore, that men whose
terms in congress have expired who know
that they must return to their old homes
to struggle for perhaps five or six years
before they can place themselves where
they were before they came to congress
or remain here in the practice or their
profession before the departments, should
prefer the easier life.
For a time they command business from
their own states, then they pick up gen
eral business. Sometimes they conflne
themselves to law and claims. sometimes
thew take up matters before congress ana
become lobbyists. There are so many OF
these ex-congressmen lobbyists in Wash
ington that it has been necessary to curtall
the privileges of the floor of the House.
Formerly all ex-members were entitled TO
the floor. In the Forty-ninth congress Ola
"Richeleu" Robinson Of New York made
himself so conspicuous in his advocacy OF
legislation that the privilege was taken
away. Now it is limited to ex-members
"yvho are not interested in any claim or
hilI nending before congress" and Speaker
Crisp has had to apply the prohibition
of that rule more than once curing ms
three years as presiding officer OF the
House Several ex-memberS nave peen
warned off the floor because the speaker
was informed that they were interested
in pending legislation
Mr.. Reed, who will be the speaker of the
next congress, is perhaps even more intol-
Grant of the ex-congressman lobbyist than
is Mr. Crisp. He said not long ago: Il see
10 good reason why ex-members should

In the list Of attorneys at Washington
who have been in the House or Senate
are many well known names. Mr.. Bynum
will find himself associated with ex-Con-
gresham and ex-Commissioner of Patents
Ben Butterworth, formerly of Ohio. then
of Chicago, but now practicing law in
Washington. Mr.. Butterworth's speciality
is patents.
Jere Wilson, who became famous in the
Breckenridge case recently, and his part
ner, Judge Shellabarger, were members
of the House from Ohio and Indiana re-
spectively, but Judge Wilson has been
identified with the practice of law before
the Washington courts for so long a time
that it was with surprise that some peo-
pie read at the time of the trial of Mad
cline Pollard's suit that he was an ex-
member. Mr.. Shellabarger was conspic-
uous member of the House, too. John
Goode of Virginia, was a member of the
House from 1875 to 1881. He was Solicitor
General in the first Cleveland administra-
ton. He now makes his home in Wash
ington and practices law here.
Another distinguished Virginian who can
almost call Washington his home is ex-
Senator Malone Of Virginia. He owns
a great deal of property here and for sew
eral years he has devoted the congress
sional session to lobbying for the sale of
a piece of land to the government print
ing office. HIS opposition mas prevented
the selection of other sites and delayed
the building Of a new printing office in
definitely.
Senator Hunton of Virginia, who goes
out of office next March, will undoubtedly
return to the practice of law here. He is
an illustration of the public man who does
not lose his hold on his state
by settling in Washington. Mr.. Hun
ton was member Of the Forty
third, Forty-fourth Forty-ffth. and
Forty-sixth congresses. Then he settled in
Washington and took up the practice Of
law in partnership with jefferson Chand-
Ter of Missouri. A dozen years after his
retirement from congress he was APP
pointed to the Senate by the governor Of
Virginia, and afterward elected by the leg
islature to fill the unexpired term of Sen
ator Barbour. The late Senator Perkins of
Kansas, was another example of the dead
statesman called to life. He retired from
the House and began practice here as q
claims attorney. To the surprise of every
one, he was appointed Senator from
Kansas at the time of the death of Mr..
Plumb. He failed TO get the election to the
vacancy, and Mr.. Martin succeeded him.
H. d. Money, of Mississippi, who has just
been reelected to the House, is another ex-
ample of political resuscitation. Mr.. Money
was a member Of the House in the Forty
fifth congress, and he held his seat for ten
in Washington and no one suspected him
of further political ambition. Eight years
after his retirement he bobbed up as a

shoot, and who like to hear things about

story about my uncle over in the town Of

the North Carolina coast that story will

when my uncle was numbering, down
in the Rolypoly Run country bears were
troublesome. and he had to use his rifle
almost as much as his ak. He killed stacks
of bear, and by and by we noticed that
every bear he shot through the head had
a way of whirling itself around so that
its head would be where its tail was at the
time my uncle shot, and the whirl would
be made so blame quick that the bear
would be turned end to before il had time
to drop dead. My uncle could never figure
out what made the bears take that amaz-
ing whirl whenever they got ball in the

closer survey OF the field to see what was
delaying matters. Now, and ordinary
man would have put bullet right through
that head and settled the hash of that
aggravating deer then and there, but my
uncle just grinned and Rugged himself
and did little calculating. Then he pulled
up and took aim. You'd think, of course
that he aimed at the buck, but he didn't
he aimed at the bear, which stood right
where 1t had stopped. The minute the gun
cracked out sprang the buck to have its
usual fun with my uncle. But 1t hadn't
more than landed in the opening. be-
tween my uncle and the bear, than It
dropped like ton of lead, gave two or
three kicks, and was deader than a meat

gloating and chuckling, and took a look at
it.
Jlst what thought, said he
There was bullet plump in the bucks
heart. Ten rods on the other side of the
deer lay the bear. just as dead as the buck
was. Its head lay on the ground right
where its hind feet had been when my
uncle shot at 1t. He had give 1t one of his
nerye-twisting and jerking shots right
through the head. The bear had Topped

other side around toward my uncle be-
for the bullet had passed through its
mead, ana When the bullet did Whiz out

Griswold, but when tell 'em about that

The Circle did not commit itself on this
question, but Packey went down into HYDE

AS nothing has been heard from him
since, the Circle is afraid that he has
told the story there about his uncle's won

days they didn't have any double-barrelled

didn't kill, whatever he fired at had a
good chance to get a mile away before a
hunter could reload his gun. This old

AN UNJUST ATTACK.

The Bulletin of Saturday made
an unjust and untrue attack on the
Board of Education for political
purposes. While the abusive
article was not altogether unex-
pected from the quarter whence it
came, still it went so far beyond
gentlemanly journalism, as con-
ceived on the Republican side, and
so wantonly misstated the facts of
the case that it would hardly be
manly to allow it to pass unnoticed,
although the temptation to such a
course is great.
1t must be understood that as
far as is known to the STAR and
the immediate friends of Miss
Carter, her refusal to retain her
place under the Government BY
taking the oath, required of all
pubic servants, was used without
that lady's knowledge or consent.
Having the right to act as she sees
fit in retaining or relinqshinuig a
position as teacher in the public
schools under the Republic, neither
her right nor present action call for
further indignity than has already
been laid upon her by the poll.
