that congressman has troubles of his own.
It's a fine thing to be statesman and show
up in the national parade of greatness at the
capital, but there's a good deal more to it
than that. And one of the things that Isl
hardest to bear is what they say about u.s..
Why, lady can't come up here and ask to-
see a member that there aren't half dozen
people to wink and shake the head and a
lot more of the same to make him wish all
the women were in hades. OF course, there
is some ground among us for remarks just
as there is among preachers and Doctors
and hod carriers and everybody else human,

chief delight in trying to involve congress

and persuasive, and before a man knows
what he is about he is down in the senate
restaurant paying for lunch and listening
to some kind of tale of woe.
"But they miss it now and then, and l
am glad to note an instance which occurred
only day or two ago. A member from a
northern state had been invited to call at the
lady's hotel the next day and she had asked
him to let her know if he could come. He
wrote saying among other things: To
morrow, madam, hope TO see the loveliest
woman in the whole world Naturally she
was pleased and told ali the people around
the hotel about it. The next day he did not
appear and the next she saw him at the
capitol and asked him what he meant by
treating her so.

put In the pocket when a hancbili would

conclusion that It was not unlawful TO dis

that this state and this city viii benefit
far more by having one OF its railroads
managed upon purely business princi-
pies than If 1t were run by q man or a
pool whose object was not to make
money cut OF the railroad. but by the
fluctuations OF the market and by the
construction OF worthless lines for the
purpose Of selling stock.
Mr.. Hill is a very hard man to deal
with: he Is shrewd and he has no COM
junction about trying to get all he
wants at the very least cost, whether
OF services or franchises; but he may
be dealt with on business principles.
and IT is a mere question OF being the
more farsighted and keen In making .
trade. At the same time the state and
city will benefit by the application Of
Mr.. Hills methods. just as the railroad
will benefit by increased business along
the line Of his road. The Northern Pa
clfic seems now TO be conducted more
with view TO building up traffic than
speculation in its stock; and that is a
matter OF considerable interest to Sc
attic. Railroads seek those points
which promise to give them business;

The Republicans would do about 1t
precisely what they should do. and that
is to use every lawful measure to de-
feat an enterprise so revolutionary ana
so extreme. A minority OF the senate
has full constitutional power TO require
the presence OF absentees and would
without doubt exercise 1t. The recall
citrant members could avoid arrest and
the honest discharge of their public
duty only by fleeing the state.
But suppose they were to place the
states boundaries between them and

tie doubt exists of their ability to mus

United States senate would not hesitate
