With beatin' of the benches
An playin' of the band.

But twas lively when the mayor
Declared he ruled the country
An was bound to take the chair.
But the sheriff was ambitious,
An he rushed up from the door,
An then the chair was broken,
An the mayor-he took the floor!
An then up jumps the groceryman:
These here accounts / hold
Ag'in you Billyille citizens,
Must all be paid in gold!"
An then a silver man-siX foot,

Hon. John S. Henderson, in recent
letter SAYS that he thinks that this pa
per loves it to its readers to publish
his letter to which Col. A. M. Waddell
replied, if you are willing for your
readers to see both sides"
This paper has given its readers more
columns of arguments from gold men
than from silver men, because it has
resolved to be more than fair to those
whose views it opposes. IF you can see
your way clear" says Mr.. Henderson,
ito publish the letter, [ will in due time
write reply to Col Waddell.' Though
it is rather late to make the publica-
ton, in desire to be more than fair,
we append below all that portion of
Mr.. Henderson's letter relating to the
money question, the only portion to
which allusion has been made in these
columns. There is no reason to print
his exhortation to "abide in the ship,
or his praise of the President, which
constitute the first part of his letter,
because they have not been alluded to
IL these columns.

rugs, and takes away m'nh OF the cold
aspect of so much solid marble. 1t is
cheerful place, and IL its marble walls
could speak what tales they could tell of
heated conferences, diabolical schemes,
and the noble deeds dohe here. In this
room many bills have been planned and
urged that have either proved curse or
a blessing to our nation, and If these I'M
mense mirrorscould give back thereflections
of bygone years, there would be a process
sion OF all the notables who have filled the
seats I'm the upper branch of Congress, as
well as Presidents and diplomats from the
four corners OF the world, together with
panoramic view of scenes and incidents,
both dramatic and interesting.
One afternoon, not long ago, little
scene occurred her which was rather out OF
the ordinary run of events. There was ad-
mitted a lady, who was worthy OF the COM
plimentary term beautifui,s by promi-
nent Senator from western State. They
stood gazing through window for short
time, conversing in toW tone The lady
was apparently becoming much excited
and suddenly there came flrtn AMI decided
Nor from the Senator, as he bowed po-
| litely and turned 10 leave her. The lady
| flew in q rage, grabbed hold OF the mans
| luXuriant whiSkers and gave them vigor-
Gus jerk, exclaimng with a stamp of her
| pretty foot, as she brushed out of the door:
You awful, mean man"
NOT FOR THE MEN.
While men are frequenters of this room
| they do not receive the attention here that
| the ladies do, and there seems to be Il tacit
understanding that 1T is not for them
Lobbyists OF the stcrner sex usually prefer
the less prctentious apartments below; IN
the corridors, or any out Of thclway place
where they can buttonhole their man with
out being interrupted.
1t is an old maxim that a man can be
approached more successfully on a ful
stomach, and as senators are quite as hu
man as other mortals, this rule also ap
plies to them, as will be attested by tin

residence of prominent Senator, who hap
pened to be one OF those who could not be ap-
preached with a bribe, one day last winter.
Although the corporation this lobbyist rep
resented caused a slight scandal afterward,
this Senator refused to have anything TO
do with it, and this incident was know only
to a few.
a stylishly dressed New Yorker was the
individual who represented this giant cor
poration, which is gradually monopolizing
certain industry.
He established his headquarters at the
best hotel in the city, and sent his card to
those Senators whom he wished to ''use,"
asking them to call. The Senators referred
to did not cali, thereby bringing the lobby
ist to his residence. The lobbyist was
greeted pleasantly and referred to private
parlor, where the two men were closeted
for some time.
Suddenly the secretary and clerks in the
office adjoining were startled by the utter
ance Of oaths and excited language on the
part of the lobbyist, while the Senator
coolly arose and left the room, without re.
sentIng the insults, which were heaped
upon him. The lobbyist left the place in
rage and the Senator coolly returned to his
desk resuming his work, which had beenin-
terrupted, neverindicating by look or tremor
OF the hand that an intensely exciting scene
had been enacted,
The fact Is, however, that the Senator
had emphatically refused to lea'd his aid
to the nefarious scheme proposed to him;
would accept no stock; had declared his op-
position to the bill; his determination to OPP
pose it, and the caller had been so enraged
by disappointment that he had lost his
temper, grteyous error to have committed
under any circumstances, for there are
more flies caught with sugar than with
vinegar in Washington.
This hotel style or lobbying has assumed
imemnse proportions with corporation lob
byists, and behind the closed doors OF their
gorgeously furnished apartments, much
scandal has been fomented. Only OCCASION

through the green-carpeted corridor known
sas the Senate lobby to the much-Sought
marble room, and those who are informed
that the gentleman they seek is mot in"
turn away not infrequently with fearful
eyes, or linger awhile to gaze longingly at
those who are more favored. Many of
them come day after day until they have
seen their man, and many of them have
Travelled from the most distant States I'm or
der that they might present personally their
recommendations, in the hope that thatpro-
cedure will bear more weight with the par
ticular Senator whose assistance they wish
to secure.
Although the doorkeepers have iron-clad
instructions not to admit any one to the sa-
cred precincts of the marble room before
certain hour, the rule is broken time and
again by Senators themselves, who request
the admittance of their more favored
friends. 1t is not commendable, to be
sure, but it is their will, and that said, all
is said. AS rule, these favored ones are
of the feminine persuasion, and this room
is q safe retreat from the crowd, place
where a dozen or more couples may chat
confidentially without being overheard by
the others present.
IN THE MARBLE ROOM.
The marble room is Immediately across
| the lobby from the Senate chamber, most
palatial place, whose wide windows over
| look the terrace and green sward, the city
| and distant hills to the north. 1t measures
| forty by twent yfeet, and the entire room is
| fitted up in polished white Tennessee mar
| Bile. It Is marble walled, marble-tiled aAd
marbleroofed, and the five solid columns
are of the same material. In the gram

| chain OF rooms, which makes one imagine ne

umns, and decorated by gorgeous frescoes,

ornaments of gold.

moment ago. said he, In manner that
was not at all pleasing.
"Oh, well, perhaps he Is In the - COM
mittee room," returned the doorkeeper,
without noticing the insinuation In his
remarks.
He started for the committee room In
a hurry, and found the Senator was not
there. One of the clerks Informed him
that ne left by the other door moment
ago, and was likely to be found In the
folding room. To the folding rom ne
rushed, only to find the Senator had just
left. He was directed to another room,
with the same result. Upstairs and down
he rushes, through the long corridors from
one end of the building to the other, into
the mysterious rccesSe5 OF the crypt, and
In the library. He was about to give up
the chase, when policeman gave him
clew that put him on his tran again.
He followed to the Senate wing of the
building aud found his man just leav-
Ing, covered by an immense umbrella; and,
as he was about to enter his carriage,
this young man rushed up, all out OF breath
The last seen of them was when they both
entered the carriage and We're driven to-

groups who frequent the Senate restaurant.
Go there almost any hour of the day, during

in most earnest discussion, which, judging
from the gestures and occasional words and
sentences, you will conclude at once to
be of great pith and Observation-Disclosures

dividuals than to the general public.
The few bardworking SenaDrs, how
ever, are seldom, If ever, freaaenters of
this brightly electric lighted room. Up TO
the hour of meeting, IL O'clock these few
are kept busy with their oEhaffairs with
Cabinet Officers or In the Ilepafments, or
with their correspondence OF eommittees.
The committee rooms anesalsp favorite
resorts for stag lobbyistsi These rooms
are mostly in the basement, on the same
floor as the restaurant, and usually their
inferior ventilation and crowded condition
strikes one more forcibly than do their
superior decorations and furnishings. The
Senators and members, however. seem to
prefer these half hidden "dens'' to the
cozy, welilighted upper rooms, for the
very reason that they are secluded and out
of-the-way. Here and In the basement
corridors can be seen the professionals.
Men skilled In the profession of ''roping
in their 'fluence" rush back and forth and
iostle and push each other while on the
trail of their man through these subter-

and often dishonest methods to gain their
points are as much of an accomplishment as
are the tricks Of any other profession.
One rainy day last week there was very
amusing chase through these dimly Lighted
passageways. A member was evidently
very anxious to elude "stag" lobbyist,
or an office-seeker, who was just as de-

began upstairs. The young man in the

No more unique figure is TO be found III
the American judiciary than Judge Gaslin
of Nebraska, and many are the stories told
OF this interesting personality.
A per cent month money lender had
through the instrumentality OF small loan
secured about everything a homesteader
possessed excepting his farm, but with all
the payments tue loan refused to grow less.
Finally action was brought in court to
enforce payment OF the alleged balance
py means of Judgment against the mans
farm. A jury had been secured which
understood It's business, and in spite OF
the Instructions of Judge Gaslip, which fav
ored the defendant, brought in verdict
for the plaintiff.

not familiar with the manner Of admins
teriug justice on the Nebraska side of the
border appropriated a horse which he
found hitchcd TO post in front OF cOUn-

property of Judge GaSliu. The thief was
captured, and later bound over TO await
trial in the district court. A lew days after
Judge GaSIin met n feIlow-judge from an
other district, and requested him, as a
favor, to come into his district on a day
