There does not seem to he any doubt
that Mr.. Germans health is precarious
1t was not robust last winter, and since
the adjournment of Congress his com
plexion has been ashen, his step lacking
in elasticity, his appetite quite good
enough for man without digestion, and
only his spirits cheerful and sometimes
playful. TO those who have gone out
to his country home at Laurel, in How
ard county, just half way between Bal
timore and Washington. to see him on
what he refers to as his farm, he has
been candid in admitting his inability to
enjoy greater activity.

What Congressman Powers Says

A Washington correspondent asked Con-
gresham Powers why Vermont had sent
SO lew senators to Washington
Because" answered the Judge, "the
state has always selected her best timber
and has not let the office of United States
senator degenerate into mere scramble
for political preferment. The people Of
Vermont look about carefully for a suitable
man to represent them in the senate, and
then wien they find him he is at once
elected and permitted to remain in office
for any length of time he is willing to
serve"
Judge Powers went on to say that there
had been but "a senators from Vermont
during the entire existence of this govern
ment. Out of that number nearly all were
college graduates and all but nine had been
called from the supreme bench to fill the
office of senator. Judge Powers attributed
this careful and conservative selection to
the fact that in the first congress little
state like Vermont was in great danger Of
being overlooked in the senate and the
weight of influence thrown into New York
or Pennsylvania and other states, of large
territory and greater number of inhabi-
tants. AS result, little Vermont realized
that her only chance of recognition and
distinction was to send as senators men of
such unquestioned integrity and ability that
they would be men of mark even among
the multitude. This sentiment has never
changed and today, after carefully decid-
ing who will best represent her, Vermont
holds fast to the man OF her choice and it
is useless for interlopers to try to break
through the well organized ranks. Said
Judge Powers, money counts for nothing
in our senatorial selection and is never used
to secure either a nomination or an cleo
ton. A man is selected entirely on bis
merits and the election and retention in
office is unanimous"
