OF Arkansas into retirement and Mr..
Jones OF Florida into madhouse. Mr.
Conkllng and MIR. Edmunds respectively
wore responsible for the unfortunate hal
luclnations of both these men.
TOO MUCH WAS RxPECTEp.
Mr.. Garland, being taken from the
Senate and placed in the cabinet of MIR.
Cleveland, failed to make good his repu-
tatlon and he fell into obscurity as soon
as ne went out of office. IL he had gone
INTO the cabinet unheralded he might
nave been accepted as very fair attor-
hey general. Unfortunately, too much
was expected of him. MIR Jones pre-
sented more pitiable case From the
tihe ne was called a great Constitu-
| tlonaI lawyer in debate he began to lose
ms head. Literally, it was turned. He
vas no longer content to occusy the OBJ
scure put hOnorab Die position which he
heId on the floor of the Senate as one of
the mem bers from Florida. On every oc-
caslon when opportunity offered he must
make speeches or the lOnstitutionality of
pending questions. His fellow senator's
noticed this development, but attrib-
| uted IL TO nothing more than vanity. 1t
was not long, however, before MIR. Jones
manifested symptoms of insanity, and
ms hallucinatiOn presently took the form
| OF imagining that the daughter of ex-
Mayor Palms of Detroit wanted to
marry him. He stayed in Detroit all
| through the term of the Forty-ninth
congress, his peculiarities causing much
pam to his family. Mr.. Pasco succeeded
! him in the Senate
! Mr. Call has never been flattered by
| anyone on the subject of his knowledge Of
the constitution. He has formed his own
| opinion OF his capacity, and he never loses
| an opportunity TO discuss the constitution
| al phase of every matter in which he can
| lind an excuse for airing his views. Mr.
| George IS not SO persistent as Mr.. Call,
but he seldom speaks except to discuss
constitutional questions. Mr. Pugh is
another member of the Senate who
| prides himself on being an authority on
the constitution.
| THE PARDONABLE VANITY.
The pardonable vanity of Mr.. Hoar of
Massachusetts is his knowledge of litera-
| ture, and his ability to quote from the
| classical authors or the scriptures in sup
| port OF any proposition. He has shown
| his aptitude on many occasions, and dur
| ing the tariff debate he was so persistent
in quotation that Mr.. Harris begged him
to desist. Next to his knowledge of liter
allure Mr.. Hoar takes pride in the fact
| that he is a direct descendant of Roger
| Sherman.
Mr.. Gibson of Maryland is vain of his
| personal appearance. He is sometimes
called the Apollo of the Senate. He car
| ries him with still the bitter memory of a
paragraph describing his most elaborate
| speech when he was member of the
| House, which represented him as stoop-
ing at intervals to arrange his necktie or
To see that his cuffs We're properly dis
! played. Mr.. Gibson, however, is not so
much of dandy as MIR. WolCott. The
| ( ri ic to no
greater part of his salary on clothing,
and have heard senators comment on
the number Of coats they have seen him
wear in the course Of a month. In fact,
| MIR. Wolcotts clothing is so conspicuous
! by its variety ana its fashionable cut
| that it divides interest with his speech
making.
| VERY APT IN RETORT.
Ingalls, of Kansas, the statesman who is
| always about to edit a magazine or news
paper these days, was very vain of his
ability to turn an apt phrase. He used to
| think out phrases which made him ia
nous or adopt them from some of his
| readings for he was hard student. Like
Mr. Cleveland, he has been charged fire.
| quently with plagiarism, but those who
| know him can testify that he was very
apt in retort in private conversation when
! there was no audience to be gratitied OF
| to applaud.
| Mr.. Voorhees, of Indiana is vain of his
oratorical ability. He can throw a
| splendid shade of pathos into his voice
| No compliment is more pleasing to him
than to be told that he is one of the very
| few left of the race of orators who have
made the Senate famous.
Mr. Cullom of Illinois has a vanity
which is frequently gratifed-he is vain
of his personal appearance. Not that Mr.
| Cullom believes that he is beautiful like
Mr.. Ransom or Mr.. Wolcott. The Hi
nois Senator likes to be told that he re-
sembles Abraham Lincoln. He has q
hope that some day the mantle of Lincoln
may fall on his shoulders. MIR. Cullom S
vanity is altogether unobtrusive
OPPOSED TO EVERYTHING ENGLISH.
Mr. Frye of Maine is vain of his pa
| triotism. 1t takes the form of opposition
to everything English. Mr.. Frye is
never so happy as when twisting the
British lions tail. Mr., Morrill, is a bit
vain of his long service record and of the
| fact that he still retains his mental vigor
| in spite Of the fact that he has served in
the Senate longer than any other man
| living or dead. Mr.. Harris, another long
distance senator, is vain of his knowledge
of parliamentary law. Nothing tiatters
him more than an appeal to his knOwl-
edge of parliamentary practice.
Mr. Morgan of Alabama is vain of his
rhetoric. He speaks at great length when
ever he addresses the Senate, and as his
delivery is very tiresome, he is not popu-
lar in the galleries But his speeches as
they appear in the Record are gems of
thought and expression.
These are the vanities of few Of the
mem bers of the Senate To catalogue the
weaknesses Of all of them would take a
page. They are a subject of constant
study and continual entertainment TO
| THE man in the gallery"
A MOUNTAIN VENDETTA.
