some of his many friends are talking
of booming him for the vice presidency
on the republican ticket in 1896; but
the senator will prefer to remain in the
senate, where he can best serve the in
terests of his state.
There is another northwestern sem
ator who has walked out of the back
row" and stepped out into the arena of
debate. During the summer of 1890
Congressman Henry c. Hansbrough, of
North Dakota, walked into my Office
one evening to bid me good-by, saying:
II am going back to North Dakota now,
and am coming back as the next SEN
ator. l am going to succeed Senator
Pierce. 1t is all settled, and l will be
elected"
Well, have heard politicians claim
good things so often and get left in the
long run that rather demurred to the
statement and warned my friend that
he must not be too confident, lest defeat
should prove dreadfully disappoint-
ing. He laughed, clasped my hand,
said good-by and assured me that l
name inside of six months. He was
right, too. Just how he managed to
| make the combinations which brought
about his election to the senate / have
never known, but the result showed
him to be good politician as well as
statesman. Senator Pierce had been
| governor of Dakota territory, was a
splendid newspaper man, had been
elected to the senate with legislative
recommendation that the long term OF
six years be given him, and he was
backed by some powerful corporations.
| Nevertheless Senator Hansbrough was
! elected and has since forged to the
front until he is now one of the leaders
of his party on the floor of the senate

is asserted by the police that nine-
tenths of the burglarics and fiat robber-
les are planned in Central park. In no
branch Of human industry Is an elabor-
ate campaign plan so indispensable.-
Here it is that solemnfaced men, with
caps pulled down over their beetle
brows, concoct schemes by which to de-
prive the Industrious and law-abding
citizen of his hard-earned gains. Here
the professional criminals find that pri-
vacy SO essential to all business enter
rrises and which is so difficult to obtain
in the busy haunts of men. While appar-
emily listening with rapture to the bass
Of the festive bullfrog, and the tenor of
the gay mosquito, they are Matching
out devilish schemes to rob their re-
spectacle brother, who acquires his
wealth in an honorable and legitimate
manner, possibly in politics, or on Wall
street.
Central park has also become pop
ular resort with persons of suicidal
tendency, which is certainly much more
commendable than the mania which
prevailed at one time of utilizing the ele-
waited railroad track for shuffling of
the mortal coil. Not all of the Central
park suicides are as considerate as they
might be, for, not long ago, stranger
from Philadelphia deliberately drowned
himself in the distributing reservoir.

Paddock, of Nebraska, voted mo" with
Senator Pettigrew on that bill.

FauQOck, OF Nebraska, VOtcd no WIN
Senator Pettigrew on that bill.
When the senate is reorganized next
December Senator Pettigrew will be
made chairman of the committee oI
Indian affairs. 1t will be an excellent
craftsmanship for him, because there
are so many Indians in South Dakota
for whom legislation is necessary, and
in whose behalf the executive depart
ment of the government should exert
itself. During the Harrison admins.
tration Senator Pettigrew did not Sc
cure proper consideration when he
sought executive action for the Indians.
But. as chairman of the committee on
Indian affairs he can command atten-
ton, and executive cooperation. He
will often be heard during the debates
upon important affairs in the Fifty
fourth congress; and he will also be
felt on numerous occasions. He is one
of the strong lnen of this generation.
Senator Fred T. Du Bois, of Idaho, is
no longer one of the back row" mem
bers of the senate. He is no longer a
follower of the older senators, but is
but little more than two years a senator
when he stepped into the front as q
leader of the cause of silver During
the long debates preceding the repeal
OF the silver purchasing clause of the
Sherman act, in 1893, Senator Du Bois
was heard almost daily, and his elo-
quent voice and vehement manner at.
fran az 10
! one of the youngest men ever known to
participate in debate and occupy such
leadership as was accorded to Senator
Du B0is by all of his colleagues. No
man ever received SO high a compliment
as was paid to Senator Du Bois, when
the distinguished ex-secretary of the
interior, Senator Teller, the longtime
recognized leader of the silver sena-
tors. maintained silence himself, and
urged Senator Du Bois to the front.
There was also the eloquent and
aggressive Senator Wolcott, of Colo
RADIO, who urged the young Idaho
statesman to keep in the van OF the
fight. And everybody said that Sem
ator Du Bois demonstrated his ability
thrust upon hm. He was dignified,
earnest, and sometimes bitterly severe
upon those senators who favored the
repeal of the silver purchasing clause.
He drew fire from some of the great men
of the senate, but held his ground in a
creditable manner.
When the reorganization of the sem
ate takes place Senator Du Bois will be
made chairman of the committee on
public lands, position which will en-
able him to do much for his state. He
has been member of the committee
for two years and had experience in
Legislative affairs as a delegate in con-
gress from the territory of Idaho, and
as a member of congress from the new
state of Idaho before his election to
the senate. Prior to that he was United
States marshal for the territory Of
; Idaho. He is competent to fill any po-
, sition to which he may be called. ant

NEW YORK'S ONLY PARK.
Gothamites Of Every De gree Are
Exec eding Proud of 1t.
How Central Park Came to Be Set Aside
for the Use of the Public - Sights
OF Which Its Founders Never
Dreamed.
Special New York Letter.

Forty years ago New York had very
little to boast of in the way of public
parks. There were number of small
squares or plazas, but they were too
small to deserve the name of parks. At
that time, while London gave every
100000 of it's inhabitants no less than
500 acres breathing space, all the al
legged parks and squares of New York
city, comprising in the aggregate not
100 acres, were giving to each 100000 i'll
habitants only sixteen acres of breath
space; hence it is not at all surprising

In no other park in the world can our
American aristocracy be studied to
such an advantage as in Central park
on warm afternoon. To set out On
bench and watch the never ending pro-
cession of aristOcratic equipages drive
past is a precious boon that is not guar
anteed to persons outside of New York.
The carriage horses themselves are
worth travelling miles to see. How
proudly they arch their necks, as II
conscious of the honor it must be to
be so near such high-toned people. But
to me the most interesting individual
of all is the imported automatic joint
less footman, with face as express
sionless as that of a snow man. He
cannot be successfully raised in this
country, and duty has to be paid on him
as a work of art when he is entered at
the custom house. On the panels Of
most of the coaches are armorial bear
ings, the meaning of which, even to
the owners of the vehicle. are about as
ineligible as the inscriptions on the
obelisk. | noticed one the other day
that resembled a cOckroach regardant,
holding in his beak long, quivering
tapeworm appropriately inscribed. AS
for the looks of most Of the occupants
of the vehicles, the less said the better.
| They simply go to prove the truth Of
German saying that if you want to get
an idea of what God thinks of wealth,
| take a good look at some of the people
| upon whom He hestOWs it.
Central park is Indispensable to New
| Workers. AS promoter CT husbandry,
by which term refer to the acquisition
of husbands, it fills a long-felt want. In
| New York, as elsewhere, the course OF
| true love is more or less liable to inter-
ruption. Very frequently it happens
that man proposes, and the other man
her papa-dsposes Of him in short or
der. In a large city there are not to
be found, outside of the parks, shady
lanes and secluded spots, so essential
to courtship. The number of appar-
emily happy couples that are to be seen
on the benches in Central park of an
afternoon is simply astounding. | do
not undertake to maintain that all OF
them contemplate matrimony, or that
some OF them are not already married
but am satisfied that clergymen and
the manufacturers of baby carriages
owe much to this popular resort.
Another source of amusement to the
philosophical observer is to be discov
cred in the peculiar style of riding al
fected by both sexes. A hard trottine
horse is about the most unpleasant ami
NAL in the world to bestride, particular
ly for riders who do not know how tt
ride in the first place, yet he is the ia
,orite riding animal in Central park
and, as for the fair equestriennes, hov
they manage to hit the saddle at all j
something very mysterious But horse
back riding is now an aristocratic fad
and, as the proverb runs, 'vanity know
no pain"
