FATHER OF THE NEXT HOUSE.
Speaker Reed VIII Add This to His Other
Distinctions.

l speaker heeu VIII <Auu Ills 10 Ills oIuef
Distinctions.
The father of the present house is
old Judge Culberson, of Texas, who en-
tered the Forty-fourth congress in 1875
and has served ever since. He will not
be member of the Fifty-fifth congress,
another democrat, John w. Crawford,
having been elected TO succeed him.
Mr.. Reed began his service in the Forty
fifth congress in 1877, and has never
missed a reelection. He will, therefore,
be the Oldest member of the next house
in point of continuous service, says the
Philadelphia Inquirer. Congressman
Hammer, of Philadelphia, entered con-
gress in 1871, and would be entitled to
the distinction so long held by Judge
Kelley, of Philadelphia, were it not for
the fact that he failed of election TO
the Forty-fourth congress.
Gen. Bingham, of Philadelphia be-
gan his congressional career in 1879,
two years later than Speaker Reed, and
will share with Benton McMillin, of
Tennessee, the distinction of being the
oldest members ON the floor of the
house. "Uncle Joe" Cannon, of Illinois,
came 10 Washington as a member of
the Forty-third congress in 1873, thus
antedating Mr.. Reed, but Cannon's con-
stituents refused to Teelect him to the
Fifty-second congress because of am al
legged vulgar remark which he made in
O speech during the exciting debates
of the stormy Fifty-frst session.
Galusha A. Grow, of Pennsylvania, will
be the only member of the next house
who can boast that his congressional
record began 46 years ago. There is Il
hiatus in his legislative career, how
,er, as he skipped from the Thirty
seventh to the Fifty-third congress.
But, as the indications are that Speaker
Reed will be reelected as presiding Off
Ger of the next house, although not
without some show of opposition,
through the death of Charles L. Crisp,
Mr.. Grow will be pointed out to visitors
as the only living ex-speal1er of the
house of representatives now in con-
gress, having presided over the DELHI
erations of the lower branch of the
Thirty-seventh congress.
A weE-known republican congress
sional leader, whose attention was
called to Speaker Reeds double distinc-
tion, declared that it will be the first
time in the history of congress, so far
as he knew, where the title of 'father
of the house" has been held by a
speaker.
