COMMITTEE SERVICE.

COMMITTEE SERVICE.
At the commencement of his service,
which was in the Forty-seventh Con-
gress, he was appointed member OF
the Committee on Rules, on Printing,
on the District of Columbia, and also
of the Special Committee on Potomac
River Front 1t was in the committee
room that Mr.. German first laid the
foundation of the great and com
handing influence he acquired IN the
Senate. Every Legislative body is con-
trolled by it's standing committees,
and these, in turn, are each controlled
by few strong, practical men among
it's membership, who take up the
working oars" master the details
and systematic the work before the
committee, and are depended on for
that purpose. Mr.. German soon dem
onstrated that he was one OF these
strong men of the Senate, and he was
welcomed as such by his brother Sen
ators, and especially by his Demo-
cratic brethren, who sorely needed
just such a man. He retained MS
membership of the Committee on
Rules during the entire period OF his
service. and in that capacity, as well
nity to demonstrate his knowledge OF
parliamentary law, of which he is an
acknowledged master, and which be-
came such an important factor in the
great battle against the Force Bill.
Mr.. German also retained his member
ship of the Committee on Printing
throughout his term of service. hav-
ing been its chairman during the
Fifty-third Congress, when the Demo-
Gratis were in control of the Senate.
Upon this committee. with its extern
sive functions in directing the large
annual expenditure for public print
ing, Mr.. Germans practical business
capacity. sound judgment and exec
utive ability made their full impress
sion. as will presently appear. On the
District of Columbia Committee. he
also became an influential member.
and was a recognized friend of the
District. To his characteristic
strength in committee work. thus
early exhibited. Mr.. German owed his
a .vancement in subsequent Con-
crosses to the important posts he held
so long on the great Committee on
Appropriations. Commerce and Inter
state Commerce. and thereby he ac-
uuired the power to render such sub
stantial service to his own State in
the way of public improvements. so
far exceeding the similar service or
any of his predecessors in Congress.

CHAIRMAN MINORITY CONFERENCE.

The position of chairman of the Mi
noritv Conference in the Senate is one
of high honor and responsibility. 1t
is recognized in the organization of
the Senate. and the chairman has as
signed to him one of the most ca
pacious and handsomely furnished
committee rooms in the Capitol, where
the minority, from time to time, con-
gregate and confer in regard to mat
tiers of policy. The chairman presides
over the party conference and is the
recognized leader of the minority.

HIS PATRIOTISM.

A distinguished Senator, when once
asked to what cause he attributed the
great influence of partisan leader
like Mr. German on the Republican
side of the Chamber, replied, that to
his intense patriotism more than any
other cause it was due. Although a
vigilant and aggressive partisan, when
a partisan record was really involved,

ECONOMY IN THE PUBLIC PRINTING.

One of the first impressions made
on the practical mind of Mr.. German.
as a member of the Committee on
Printing. was the great waste of pub
lie money involved in the indiscrlm-
mate printing and binding in large
numbers and in expensive covers. of
all kinds of worthless reports ema-
mating from Government officials,
many of which were never opened or
read. Accordingly, at his very first
session. we find him advocating. on
the floor of the Senate, report from
the Committee on Printing. made by
himself, looking to the Inauguration
of some reform in this matter, which
was adopted after considerable oppo-
s;tion. In the following year, at the
close of the last session of the Forty
seventh Congress, Mr. German. from
the Committee on Printing. intro
duced the following resolution, which
was adopted March 3, 1888:
Resolved. That the Committee on Printing as at
present constituted be authorized sit during the
coming recess of the Senate and instructed to examine
and renort on the following subjects:
T. The public printing and binding. with view t"
the reduction of the quantity OF the work and expenses
The management of the Government Printing
Office and Bindery.
: The wages paid different classes of employees
l. The necessity for the branch offices of the Gov

absolutely disregard the fair distri-
button of the incidental protection re-
sulting therefrom. The middle and
conservative attitude of Mr.. German
on the tariff question, while it moved
him to a spirited opposition of the
Mckinley law, which he denounced in
several strong speeches as an out
rageous eXtortion from the people for
| the benefit of a favored few, and re-
corded his vote along with his Demo-
cratic brethren against nearly all of
its items; it also precluded him from
the support of the crude and poorly
considered Wilson Bill, as it came
from the House in the Fifty-third Con-
gress. The Mills Bill, the Democratic
tariff measure of the Fiftieth Con-
gress, which was defeated by the Re-
publican Senate. was cast on those
conservative lines. which met Mr.. Cor
mans approval, and it was at the
special request of President Cleveland
and as his representative that Mr..
German attended the st. Louis con-
vention of 1888, bearing ? platform,
prepared under the Presidents super
vision, making the Mills Bill the eX
ponent of Cleveland's tariff policy,
which he wanted the country to pass
upon. The amendments engrafted
upon the Wilson Bill, through the in
f1uence of Mr.. German, We're all based
on the schedules of the Mills Bill. But
the wisdom of Mr.. Germans course in
dealing with the Wilson Bill is now
no longer disputed, even by the
closest friends of Mr.. Cleveland. and.
in fact. it has been commended by
Cleveland himself in his subsequent
messages to Congress.

Mr.. German took his seat in the
Senate March 4, 1881. He was then
not quite AZ years of age and the
youngest member of the body at that
time, although younger men had
previously, and have since, served as
Senators. Upon his retirement,
March 8, 1899, after eighteen years OF
continuous and distinguished service,
he had not quite completed his SIX
tieth year.

combination is Illegal and prohibited.
ANY person being member of
