DAVID B. HILL AS A SENATOR.
Ills FearIessncss and Abiiity Have Won
Him Friends in both PARTIES.

Ills FearIessness and Ability Have Won
Him Friends in Both PARTIES.
Washington. Aug. i,--It is somewhat
amusing just at this time to note
the surprise that is. manifested by
woll-lnformed men OF both the great
parties because Of the strength developed
by United States Senator David h. Hin as
an orator and debator In the higher branch
Of our National Legislature. Prominent
newspapers. too. have devoted columns to
the sudden rise Of this man from petty
politician to man capable Of more than
holding his own with the best men in the
United States Senate.
There are few men in public life more
misunderstood than Senator HIN. He has
been depicted as a peanut politician. as
friend and patron Of the saloons. as a semi
thug, as a man Of small mental caliber
and less education, and so on and so on.
IL may surprise some persons TO be In
formed that all these statements arc wrong
When that remarkable Judge Of men, Sam
uel j. Tllden, took up young HILL then
young lawyer and newspaper man, and
member Of an utterly corrupt Legislature
yet under the stigma Of the Tweed'ring. he
did 1t because Hill had shown himself 20
be absolutely fearless and incorruptiblo.
His courage indeed Is one OF his strong
est points. He has huen called an ally OF
Tammany Hall. AS matter OF fact,
Richard Croker was opposed to Hill in the
first. But Hill had behind him pretty much
the whole State Of New York outside OF
New York city and Tammany Hall had to
eat the leek
Il is also true that in all his career Hill
has held the ordinary sort Of politician at
arms length. He Is ESSENTIALLY tacticlnn.
He never yet went into fight that he had
not prepared for. and no argument can move
him "a rnatffuW falan Iln - h
solutely fearless. He fights his own battles
and takes all responsibility.
There Is no man in public life whose
habits are more above reproach. He has
never tasted a drink Of liquor In his life.
IIo never smokes. He is unmarried but
no scandal has over been breathed OF In
connection with his name.
81 am married, he said to me once; "po-
litics is my Wife"
Here he spoke truly. His whole mind
IS given to the study OF politics OF the high
er sort and there is probably no man IN
public life who is better read In the his
tory Of great political revolutions Of all
countries than Is Senator Hill,
Senator Hin has been sneered at as law
yer by some critics, and yet the fact re-
mains that the law firm Of which he is
head, Is credited with earning the largest
fee ever paid in any single case In this
country. II was In case against Cornell
University, and Senator Hills firms fees
were in the hundreds Of thousands OF doll
lars Outwardly Senator Hill Is one Of
me most impressive Of men. and got at timna
ne becomes in a way an euthusiast-but
not In public It is q fact that his political
enemies all like him because, 90 usa the
expression Of the chief Of them "he Hshtg

DARING WORK.
Attempt to Rob the Wilkes
barre POSt0ffice.

WILKEsBARRE, Pa, Oct. n.-A daring
attempt was made to rob the postoffice in
this city at an early hour this morning by
two men who had secreted themselves
in the building. When the
night clerk, Lewis ID. Carney, opened
the door leading from the mail room
proper to the maiu entrance for the pur-
pose of collecting mail from q box in the
corridor, he was confronted by burly
man who thrust a revolver into his face
and told him To throw up his hands. The
clerk was greatly frightened and jumping
back slammed the door in the face OF the
burglar. The assistant night clerk blew
police whistle and special officers were
soon on the scene. The burglar had fled,
however, before the arrival OF the officers
Frank Charles was arrested about an hour
after the attempted robbery on suspicion
of being implicated.
The postoffice is situated in the heart of
the city and the wonld- be burglars
doubtless thought Carney was alone in
the office, as it was time for his assistant
to be off duty.
