coNaREssMEN AND RR1REs.

(From the North American Review.)
A man who has been defeated for re-
election is not in a fit frame of mind to
legislate for his people. There is a sting
in defeat that tends to engender the
feelings of resentment which often finds
expression in the vote of such members
against wholesome legislation. That
same feeling often produces such
want of interest in proceedings as to
cause the member to be absent nearly
all of the second session.
Congressman are not usually men of
means. Their congressional career has
resulted in the destruction of their
clientage or business To a defeated
member who has relied upon his salary
for support, the future looks dark and
gloomy.
1t is then some are open to PROPOSE
tiOns which they would never think of
entertaining if they were to go before
the people for reelection. 1t is then
that the attOrneyship of some corpora
ton is often rendered and a vote is af-
terward found in the record in favor of
legislation of a general or special char
acter favoring the corporation If an
affirmative vote cannot be had it is
often just as important that the mem
Der should be absent. If there is ever
a time in the history of the man when
he will directly or indirectly accept a
bride, it is then.
There is less chance of detection. He
is no longer a political factor His polit-
zeal enemies no longer watch his course
and the opposition newspapers no longer
criticise his conduct: the secret is his
own and it is safe.
There are many upright men in con-
gress who would not be influenced by
defeat. But in as large a body as the
house of representatives there must al
ways be some who would yield to temp
tatiOn.
1t is a fact that nearly all, if not all.
of the legislation that is claimed to have
been passed by corrupt influence was
enacted during these second regular
sessions of congress.

SULLIVAN AND INGALLS, AGAIN

The Washington Post says: In the
course of some remarks a few days ago
upon the rather sensational matter of
the rivalry between these two remarka-
bic men as chrOniclers of battle and he
roic deeds, we ventured to suggest that
possibly the retired slugger might excel
the retired statesman.
We acknowledged the vast superiority
of Mr.. Ingalls, in any purely literary re-
spect, and may, perhaps, have done
Mr.. Sullivan less than justice touching
his merits as a dealer in rhetoric and
poetry. But our original surmise has
been vindieated by the facts. Mr.. In
gals account" of the Carson tragedy
is painfully inadequate. Beyond a few
graceful references to the scenery, the
atmosphere and the beauty of the sur
rounding nature, we can find nothing
worthy of mention, excepting the writ
er's profound and overseeing astonish-
ment at the blow which a last took the
wind out of Corbett, and, for the mo-
ment, checked his flow of converse ton
He did not even essay one of those bril-
liant impressionistic pen pictures of
which he is so eminently capable and
for which his admirers confidently look
ed.
The same blow that paralyzed the
pompadour appears to have plunged
him into lethargy. Sullivan, on the 9TH
er hand, must be said to have given the
best, the most impartial and intelligent
history of the combat furnished by any
single individual. 1t is the work of
veteran and professional It is the re-
suit Of careful, dispassionate, and en-
hghtened observation, and, as nearly as
words can, it passes in review the whole
orderly procession of the battle.
Comparing the two chroniclers, we are
moved to remind Mr.. Ingalls, of that fine
old English aphorism: Let the cord
wainer adhere to his wax, and not seek,
besottedly. TO change his base"
