DEMOCJtACY'S NEW LEADER,
n Pen Picture OF Joseph w. Bailey Of
Texas
| Washington Correspondence Phils,
delphia Record.


Mr.. Joseph w. Bailey of Texas,
who IS made the official loader of the
Democratic party by his nomination
to the speakership, is beginning his
fourth torn, although he is only 33
years old, and was SO young whom
he started in that tho nickname "Ba-
by" has stuck to him, with allitera-
tion's aid. 1t must have boon his
beardlcss face and his beautiful,
child-liko eyes which got him his
nickname, for he is taller and broad
or and larger in every way than most
mon Of his years, and his mind is so
we'll maturcd that he has hold his
own both in committee and on tho
floor, with any and all Of the Older
mon.
He is handsome man, with fine
hair, fino eyes, fino features and a fine
complexion. He is erect and manly,
but very graceful in his movements,
and has pleasing voice and man
nor Ho is reclkonod one of the bost
constitutional lawyers on his side of
tho house, and is always listened to
with respectful attention whom he
speaks, which hitherto has not been
often enough to make him tiresome.
Ho is poor, but honest, and lives
tho life Of student, with no bad hab-
it's. His honorable poverty prompt
cd him to decline denomination, to
congress after the Chicago Conven-
tion and seok to build up a law proa-
tice which would enable him to lay
up something for his wife and chill
dren, to whom he is devoted, but his
constituents would not have it 40,
and ho was sont back with a maiori-
ty Of over ii 900 votes.
Mr.. Bailey has been recognized
for somo time by his colleagues as
the coming man on tho Democratic
side, and there was no such surprise
hero as there was outside at his tri-
umph over tho Older leaders of his
party in the house, nor is there any
reason to suppose that he will not be
tho next Democratic speaker, IL he
lives. Speaker Reed and Mr.. Bailey
arc warm personal friends, and Mr..
Reed was very glad at his success.
But there was, of course, no founda.
tion for the story that Mr.. Bailey
got support for the speakorship up.
on the understanding that Mr.. Reed
would appoint his friends to good
places on committees.

Columbia, March 30.-Attor
noy General Barber today III
talking about tho dispensary litigu-
ton, said that it was his intention to
have tho now inspection testod as
soon as possible before Judge Simon
ton. He said that he wanted 10 have
tho tost made rs soon rs tho now
amendment went into effect, but had
: been unable to do so. Mr. j. p. X.
Bryan found that ho could not at.
tend to such case up to this time,
and it is the earnest desire Of Attor-
noy General Barber to have Mr..
Bryan represent the othor sido of
the case that ho proposes bringing.
MIR. Barber said that he was espec
la!ly anxious to have Mr.. Bryan op-
pose the amendment in tho Courts.
rs it was his intention to have a fair,
square test made Of tho section, and
thore was no ono moro nblo than Mr..
Bryan, as he has been in this partic-
ular limo of litigation since the in
coption Of tho law, and Mr.. Barber
is certain that he knows all thcro is
to be known against the section,
which has recently bcon passed. to
answer tho conditions of tho decision
of tho Supreme Court.
Mr.. Barber said that Mr.. Bryan
had stated that he could not enter
upon such test case this week, but
it is tho intontion and desire of Mr..
Barber to have Mr.. Bryan tako Issue
with tho State on tho inspection
clause just as soon as arrangements
can be made and the test case can
| bo brought in tho United States
Court.
1t is tho desire of Govcror Ellorbc
that such Il case should be brought,
and no partially expected that tho
case would have been argued at the
same time that the cases against tho
constablcs were presented. Mr.. Town,
send last weok tried to get Mr.. Bryan
to argue the test case.
1t will be very interesting to note
what taction will be taken under tho ad-
vice Of Gov. Ellcrbc in case tho Unit
cd States Court decides that tho now
tangled "inspection" amendment is
no moro constitutional than the old
Anti Inter State clause was. Mr..
Townsend is working up matters on
this line.
! THE AGRICULTURAL HALL CASE.
Attorney General Barber docs not
know what will become of his case
as to tho Agricultural Hall. He has
presented tho States argument, ans
wercd all questions submitted tc
him, done tho best lie could and left
the case with tho United States Su
j prcmo Court Tho argument for the
State, prepared by Mr.. S. w
Melton, was read in full to the
