now member, with a resolution to
compel them to work Saturdays and
Mondays. The Evening Wisconsin,
Of Milwaukee, says:
Unlike the rest Of them, Mr.. Hall does not
go home every Saturday, and he would rath-
er work than not. His capacity for work is
very great anyway, and he has had so much
legislative experience that he understands
what difference two days additional work
each week would make in the length of the
session. No other member of either house
begins to have had the experience as legis-
lator that Mr. Hall has had. This is his
fourth consecutive term in the Wisconsin
assembly, and previous to coming to this
state he served seven terms in the Mime
sofa legislature.
Mr. Hall went to Minnesota to live when
he a boy. He was born in Windsor
county, Vermont, in 1884, and was fifteen
years old when he went with his parents to
Minnesota. His education was obtained in
the common schools of Boston, where he re-
sided for about ten years. When the war
broke out he enlisted in the Second regi-
ment, Minnesota volunteers, and was pro-
NOTED to corporal and afterwards to sergeant
He was engaged in several great battles, and
was wounded at Chickamauga. After having
been taken prisoner and exchanged he served
with his regiment in the Atlanta campaign
until his three years term of service eX-
pired. Then he returned to Minnesota and
assisted in recruiting company for the Elev-
enth Minnesota regiment, with which he re-
turned to the South as lieutenant and
served until the end of the war. After the
war he held a number of small offices, and
was finally sent to the legislature from Hen
nepn county. During three of his seven
terms in the legislature he served speaker
of the house. In 1880 he removed to Knapp,
in Dunn county, where he has since resid-
ed, and was elected to the assembly in 1890.
Four years ago he was a candidate for speak
er, and was mentioned for the place two
years ago. He is by occupation a farmer
and manufacturer and is president of the
Dunn County Agricultural society He has
the reputation of being the ablest parlia-
mentarian in the legislature.

lings, taking to their socialism
as naturally as the ducklings take
to water, one can understand and
enjoy some of the political incidents
passing before his eyes with a keener'
Zest. Rarely has there been a legisla-
nominal Republicans were more nu-
merous, and never before, in the whole
series Of legislatures, has there been
one into which were thrown by the
members of all parties so many meas
ures with strict Populistic pedigrees
as nominal Republicans have tossed
into the hopper of this one.
No wonder the old hen runs franti-
cally I'D and down the pond vainly
clucking for her degenerate offspring.
No wonder one paper insists, with rare
acumen, that crafty Populists changed
eggs under the hen. Another sees in
this eruption of Populism a deep laid
plan to bring the old party into disre-
pute. Still another administers grave
they are actually swimming on Popu-
list pond and will surely get drowned in
it. Here, says one, has stood the Re-
publican party like a sentinel on guard,
firing alarm guns whenever Populism
showed its head among the bushes; re-
sisting every change it has made and
routing it on every field, and now
we see Republican legislature sur
rendering to it without firing
gun; not alone that, but actually tear
ing down old glory and running up the
Populist flag. And so on through pro-
test, expostulation. reproof and deri-
sion.
And it never occurs to any of these
any more than it did to the hen in the
old story, that their party has been
incubating PopuIism nearly all the
years Of it's life There is not even the
distinction Of species that there is be-
tween the hen and her duckIings. Pop
ulists are only Republicans with more
feathers and bigger appetites. A pro
gressive Republican takes to POpulistic
ideas just as naturally as those ducks
took to the pond. 1t is all the same to
him, dry land or water Rebuked for
heresy, he calmly turns over the rec
ords and asks wherein his particular
measure differs in principle from those
that are cOncededly orthodox. If it is
right for a state 70 do that, why is it
not right for it do this? Populistic?
licanism. You are only an old fogy.
And the ducklings go on swimming in
the pond and wonder what that old fool
on the bank is making such a fuss
about.

are we, as Americans and patriots, to
think of an administration which, COM
ing into power as the representative
OF the party which has been unani-
mously reviling Mr.. Cleveland for
months and months because of his
Cuban policy, has called him traitor
and Spanish sycophant and un-Ameri-
can enemy Of liberty, now announces
that it will pursue a policy 'tas con-
sentative" as his? What are we to
think of a secretary of state who, in
stead of securing the release of i'm
prisoned Americans, as Mr.. Olney did,
in the ordinary course of diplomacy,
proposes to arrange with Spain for
giving to every American in Cuba only
the choice between Imprisonment and
exile? And this is "AmericanismI -

THE SENATE RULES.

There is scarcely a member of the
stickler for its rules and privileges
than Mr.. Hoar, Of Massachusetts,. He
is always against innovation, always
protesting that the senate should
march along '.in the good old way" He
is most sensitive on the subject of it's
courtesies and prerogatives, and has
been one Of the self-constituted Suardi-
ans of the divinity that hedges it about.
Whenever any one proposed a change
in the method of senate transactions
in the interest of facilitating the pub
lie business, Senator Hoar could be
depended upon by the opposition. Now
1t is this gray-haired conservative, this
man who has resisted all suggestions
of change or Improvement, who pro-
poses that the senate rule shall be so
changed as to limit debate and prevent
filibustering.
He has given notice of an amend
ment to the rules, which provides that
under consideration more than one day
the previous question can be moved
and carried by a majority vote. The
other amendment is intended to pre-
vent a succession of endless roll calls
upon point of order that a quorum is
not present. It provides that this de-
mand cannot be used for the INFER
ruption Of ordinary business. but that
when it has been made once, and a.
quorum shown to be present. the bust
ness under consideration must go for
ward. The adoption of these two rules
would go far toward ending the OBJ
structive tactics which have made if
possible for two or three men in the
United States senate to dictate to the
whole country, and to resist success-
tully the combined wills of their asso-
ciates. Possibly the time fixed as a
limit for debate is too short. IT NAV
be that the proposition. made at the
last session, allowing three days for
debate, would be more reasonable. and
yet those who have followed the course
of senate proceedings for the last year
will agree that one days discussion
would be ample to include everything
of value that has been said on any
subject before it,
Even the patience of Mr.. Hoar. hard
shell conservative as he is, has been
tired out He ventured to interrupt
one of the drunken speeches with
which the last hours of the senate were
filled, and was ordered by the speaker.
with vulgar violence to sit down. He
objected afterward to the domination
of the senate by one man whose men
tai faculties were obscured by intoxi-
cation, and Mr.. Quay, fitting the cap
to his own head, told Mr. Hoar that he
was liar and lunatic 1t seems that
the exchange of a few amenities like
this has a powerful effect in changing
a mans views. If the senate wishes to
regain a shred of that respect which
it has at present totally lost; if it
wishes to do any part of the duty it
owes to the people; if it wishes to save
itself from the doom that it has in
vited and deserved, it will begin its own
reformation with the adoption of some
such amendments to the rules as those
fathered by Mr.. Hoar.
