SENATORS NEARLY FOUGHT.
Exciting Scene Between Gallinger and
Chand,er-Latter Reproyed by
Commissioner Brewer,

CONCORD, n. H., July 13.-The hear
ing in connection with charges of vio-
lating civil service laws, against Sena.
tor Jacob H. Gallinger, preferred by
former Governor Charles a. Busiel,
was continued. Only two witnesses
had responded to the invitation of the
commissioners to be present at the ses-
sion. They were Postmasters Henry
Robinson of Concord and H. A. Slstld
ing of Nashua Their testimony was
TO the effect that campaign circulars
asking Tor assessments for campaign
purposes had been sent out, as alleged
i'll the charges.
Before any witnesses were heard Sell
atOr GallIGgcr asked permission to make
person.. statement, i'll which he called
attention 10 the alleged untruthful
statements made i'll the editorials of IL
Concord paper and in dispatches from
Concord to Il New \ ork paper.
The course of the proceedings We're ill.,
terrupted by an exciting episode be-
tween Senators Gallinger and Chandler.
who Were only prevented from coming
to blows by the interference OF friends.
Senator Chandler accused Senator Gal
inger of being responsible for the alb
sence from the hearing of Treasurer
Thayer OF the state committee. Sena-
tor Gallinger dared Senator Chandler
to repeat the statement outside of the
room.
Hot words followed and the senators
advanced toward each other with
clenched hands, when interference pre-
vented blows. Commissioner Brewer
threatened TO have Senator Chandler
forcibly removed, but quiet was re-
stored and the hearing proceeded.
The commissioners will not leave
town until today, but there Is little
likelihood of any further action being
taken.
Senator Gallinger read prepared
statement showing the case against him
to be utterly collapsed and protesting
against It's further contin nance. He
then left the room and his counsel, Mr..
Eastman, spoke with view to soften
ing the harsh words he had used to
Senator Chandler. The latter made a
similar concession to Attorney General
Eastman, and under such happy aus
pices the meeting adjourned, probably
never to resume.
Senator Chandler made statement
declaring that Commissioner Brewer
Judged the case and conducted it in
a partial manner; that he showed great
discourtesy to the complainants and
made it impossible for the case to be
fairly and fully presented"
1t was understood that Senator Chan
dler would ask President Mckinley for
the removal of Commissioner Brewer
on these charges.

SHORT WORDS.
Here Are somr, and They Are Right
to the Point.

Here Are Some. and They Are Right
to the Point.
The following paragraph on THE
Use of Short Words" is attributed to
Horatio Seymour. 1t practices what it
preached therein, since there is no
word in it with more than two Sylla-
bles, save such as are quoted for pur-
poses of Illustration:
I'VE must not only think in words,
but we must also try to use the best
words and those which in speech will
put what is in our minds into the
mlnus of others. This is the great art
which those must gain who wish to
teach in the school, the church, at the
bar or through the press. To do this in
the right way they should use the
short words which we learn in early
life and which have the same sense to
all classes of men. The English of our
Bible is good. Now and then some
long words are found, and they always
hurt the verses in which you find them.
Take that which says, % We generation
of vipers, who hath warned you to flee
from the wrath to come? There is one
long word which ought not to be in it
namely, generation In the old YER
sion the old word brood is used. Read
the verse with the term, and you will
feel its full force: % We viper's brood,
who hath warned you to flee from the
wrath to come? Crime sometimes
does not look like crime when it is set
before us in the many folds of long
word. When man steals and we call
it 'defalcation,' we are at n loss to
know if it is a plunder or a crime. If
he does not tell the truth, and we are
told that it is a case of 'prevarication,'
it takes us some time to know just
what we should think of it. No man
will ever cheat himself into wrongdO-
ing, nor will lie be at a loss to judge of
others if lie thinks and speaks of acts
in clear, crisp terms. 1t is good rule,
if one is at loss to know If an act is
right or wrong, to write it down in
short, straightout English"

corning the reports that he is about to

dis to the truth of the rrlmors the secre-

''What do you mean cTactly:'
II mean to ask whether or not the
stories that you are to retire from the

There is nothing in these reports
but air, replied the secretary. 81 shall
not retire this year certainly, and can
not say as to the future. My private
business and the state of my health will
govern my future course.
''These constant assaults and repeated
baseless reports are, of course, very an

tired under fire and do not propose to do
so now. Nothing that have ever heard

The Man With the Hoe.

latter seeing Millet's famous painting.l
Bowed by the weight of centuries he leans
Upon his hoe and gazes the ground,
The emptiness of ages in his face,
And on his back the burden of the world
Who made him dead TO rapture and his despair
thing that grieves not and that never hopes,
Stolid and stunned, brother to the OK?
Who loosened and let down this brutal jaw?
Whose breath blew out the light within this
brain?
Is this the thing the Lord God made and gave to
have dominion and land,
To trace the stars and search the heavens for
power,
To feel the passion of eternityi
Is this the dream he dreamed who shaped the
suns
And pillared the blue armament with light?
Down all the stretch of hell to its last gulf
There is shape more terrible than this
More tongued with censure OF the worlds blind
greed,
More filled with signs and portents for the soul,
More fraught with menace to the universe.
What gulfs between him and the seraphim!
Slave of the wheel of labor, what to him
Are Plato and the swing Of Pleiades?
What the long reaches of the peaks of song,
The rift OF dawn, the reddening of the rose?
Through this dread shape the suffering ages look;
Times tragedy is in that aching stoop;
Through this dread shape humanity, betrayed,
Plundered, profaned and disinherited,
Cries protest to the judges OF the world,
protest that is also prophecy.
o masters, lords and rulers in all lands,
Is this the handiwork you give to Cod
This monstrous thing, distorted and soul quench-
ed?
How will you straighten up this shape,
Give back the upward looking and the light,
Rebuild in it the music and the dream,
Touch it again with immortality,
Make right the immemorial infamies,
Peridious wrong, immedicable woes?
o masters, lords and rulers in all lands,
How will the future reckon with this manf
How answer his brute question in that hour
When whirlwinds of rebellion shake the world?
How will it be with kingdoms and with kings,
With those who shaped him TO the thing he is
When the dumb terror shall reply to God,
After the silence of the centuries?

EVANS DID ALL RIGHT.
q. a. Il. Committee Found That the
Trouble Lay In the Pension Laws.
VIII So ReDOrt

WASHINGTON, July 13.-The pension
committee of the G.. A R.. which is
here inquiring into pension measures
and their administration at the invita-
ton of Commissioner Evans, pracUi-
cally closed its work. The committee
spent some time at the pension bureau
going over the decisions i'll a number of
cases which have been cited i'll COM
plants against the pension system.
Members of the committee i'll advance
of shaping their report declined to dis
cuss the result of their labors, but it
was understood no substantial founda-
ton had been found for the allegations
against the work of the bureau, and
whatever is recommended probably will
be as to changes in the law itself.
The committee, with Commissioner
Evans, had an interview with Secre-
tary Hitchcock at which the pension
system was discussed. The committee
probably will leave today and present
its report at the annual CT. A. r. en-
camDment at Philadelphia in Septem-
ber.
