JUDGE NOONAN'S WORK.

The defeat of Judge Noonan for Con-
gress in this district was a severe blow
to the interests of the district. Judge
Noonan stood for protection to wool
hides and the live stock interests Of
West Texas. BY his quiet, unOstenta-
cious manner the judge had won the
confidence of the leaders OF the Repub-
lican party, his day of usefulness had
but just begun when the mishap Of
defeat put him outside of Congress
and in his place a gentleman who
made his race on the free silver issue.
Mr.. Slayden has won considerable
credit by boiling his party and voting
as Judge Noonan would have voted on
the tariff bill. Judge Noonan paved
the way for his successor; he had been
active with Republican leaders to gain
the restoration of protective duties on
wool, hides and animals; Slayden was
simply smart enough not to ignore the
good work done by Judge Noonan.
The San Angelo Enterprise in reply
ing to the Standard, which claimed
that the Democratic New Braunfels
platform had demanded a tariff on
hides, says:
Come, come, don't beat the devil
around the stump. The Republican
tariff of 1872 took tariff off hides it is
true. but until recently no organized
effort was ever made by cattle raisers
to have it restored. Even the demand
which will be made the Senate to put
duty of one cent per pound on hides
can scarce boast of being an organized
movement and much lass Of having
terminated of the New Braunfels plat
form. 1t is only of late years that cat
tlemen have commenced to realize the
extent of their losses in that direction,
and in answer to the request Of many
of them eX-COngressman Noonan de-
manded of the ways and means COM
mttee that framed the bill now in the
! hands Of the Senate committee to put
| an import duty of 10 per CEN on hides.
Republican asking the passage of a
| Republican measure. Congressional
district platforms are straw structures
which indicate the way the wind
blows. The Chaff which filled the air
at New Braunfels last year showed
the builders had a hard job The vot-
ers of the Twelfth district would go
back unto dust while waiting for a
district measure to put tariff on hides
Statistics built on facts and figures
and whole lot OF pushing power be-
hind them are the requisites necessary
to catch the attention of Uncle Sans
law makers"
In other words it takes a Republican
to push Republican measures to a
successful issue.

catch their words. How he ever
does it is a mystery. Today, while
sitting in the gallery, I made re-
mark to the man next to me, and
he could not make out word l
had said, although I had spoken in
the same tone use at home when
calling hogs.
Each of these house reporters has
a take" of 900 words, and then
the next one relieves him, and he
goes and talks his 900 words into
a graphophoue, which is sort of
improved phonograph, and returns
to his place in the house. A type
writer then sits down to the graph
ophone, puts rubber tube in each
ear, sets the machine going, and
puts the 1000 words in typewriter
form, the machine delivering the
words exactly as they were spoken
into It, except that the rapidity of
delivery is regulated to suit the
typewriter. In 80 minutes it is all
back in the house, ready to be cor

Some people are always CON-

T. T. dEER IN WASHINGTON.
An Interesting Letter About our Con-
greSS.

Washington, Feb. 2.-(Special
Correspondence. For more than
twenty years I have had strong
desire to visit this city. provided I
might be permitted to do so as a
private citizen, of course. The
opportunity finally came my way,
and I have just finished one week
Of asking questions and sight-see-
irg.
Living 5000 miles away, very
few of the people Of Oregon are
ever so fortunate as to find them
selves in the capital city of their
country, and it occurs to me that a
letter or two descriptive of some of
the objects of interest here, that 1
find are usually overlooked by most
correspondents, would be ofinterest
to them.
Of course, when congress is in
session, as it is now, the capitol
building is sure to be the first place
visited, and the first experience of
a stranger upon entering it is to
find himself as completely lost
among the endless corridors, as
though he were turned loose among
the underground dungeons of the
Middle Ages, so wildly described
in Scott's novels, and these corri-
dors are not merely endless in
length, but in numbers. The
entire length of the capitol building
is 757 feet; width, $50 feet, and
covers 3H acres.
The first person I met upon
entering the building was Henry
Gilfry, schoolmate of mine, at
the Willamette university in 1863
"a, and who for nearly 90 years has
been one Of the senate clerks. At
my request I was presented to
vice-President Stevenson, 10 whom
gave the vote of Oregon, took my
receipt, and was thus relieved of a
package that had given me con-
siderable worry for more than a
week. 1t was on Monday, the last
day of grace allowed messengers by
law, and 1 was the last messenger
to deliver his vote, except Mr..
Fenton, of Washington, who, by
reason of snow blockade, in
Dakota, was detained two days.
Under the rules of the senate,
messengers are allowed the privi-
leges of the senate floor for one day.
and, of course, I made the most of
the opportunity. 1t happened to
he the day set apart for pronouncing
eulogies on the life of ex-Speaker
Crisp, and the occasion afforded me
the opportunity of hearing some
exhibitions of eloquence by the
pest speakers of the senate. With
~. exception of Senators Daniel,
of Virginia, and Carter, ofMontana,
the eulogies were all delivered from
manuscript. Senator Gordon's S
especially, being model of elo-
quence, pathos and affection for his
deceased Georgia friend.
But great deal of this work
seemed TO be very mechanical,
merely from the surface out. AT
times there were not a dozen sena-
tors present; i'll fact, only those
who had been engaged to take part
in the exercises.
But the sessions of the house are
farcical, ludicrous and confusing in
the extreme. Nobody ever pre-
tends to listen to anybody else, be-
cause the effort would be abso-
lutely proftless, if he should make
it. At regular intervals of about
five minutes Speaker Reed rises
and says in his drawling style OF
articulation: Gentlemen, there
