temporarily at least, from the arena where
their voices have had great weight and
where their influence has been strong.
In the whirligig of time some OF these
may return again TO engage in the strug-
giles of party and politics. Many of them
will not. When once out of the ring, as
experience shows, it is difficult TO return, !
but as recent events have demonstrated
there are notable exceptions.
President Mckinley was retired from
Congress, and yet he became President.
Harrison was defeated for the Senate ana
he became President Cleveland was re-
tired from the White House, only to re-
enter it after four years. Senator Platt, OF
New York. resigned, and although he hnal-
Nv returned to the Senate, it was only alter
ynany wears. while Roscoe Conkling, the
brilliant leader of his party, VINO resigned

and will probably participate in the cam
paigns. He is confident that the State VIII
be found in the Democratic column in 1900.
In Senator Gray of Delaware the Sen
ate loses one Of its ablest and most re-
spected and popular members. The hope
has been freely expressed, even among the
Republican members, that the fight in the
Delaware Legislature might result in the
reelection OF Senator Gray. He Will be
provided for. however, by the President.
who will appoint him judge of the Third
judicial circuit. His services on the Peace
Commission earned the gratitude of Presi-
dent Mckinley and the Republicans, al
though he did nothing inconsistent with
his position and his principles.
Senator Murphy of New York will re-
tire 10 look after his large interests, in
which the brewing of bser takes promi-
nent place. He Will be succeeded by the
eloquent and versatile Chauncey NJ. De-
pew Senator Mitchell of Wisconsin will
devote himself to his banking and other
interests. Senator White OF California
may resume the practice of law. Senator
Mills of Texas will practice law, as
viii also Senator Turpie OF Indiana.
The House loses several of its most pic
turesque and brilliant members. Repre-
sentative Dockery OF Missouri, Johnson
OF Indiana. Lewis of Washington, and
Others viii retire, while the seats OF
Sayre of Texas, Stone of Pennsylvania,
and Sherman of New York will know
them no more. Death has removed a
number OF members, including RepTeSen-
tatives Dingley, Southnay, Hurley and
Crawford.
Representative Dockery retired to be-
come the Democratic candidate for Gov
ernor OF Missouri at the next election. He
believes that Missouri is a sure Demo
cratic State and expects TO be nominated
and elected. While in Congress he has
been conspicuous by his insistence on
economy and while not always success
full. he has undoubtedly saved the treas
ury from many unworthy appropriations.
Representative Johnson's sensational at
facks upon President Mckinley and his
attitude toward the Filipinos have again
called the attention OF the public to him
When but a new member of Congress Mr.
johnson demonstrated his ability as a
thinker and a debater. and he has always
been given the closest attention upon
speaking. Mr.. Johnson will practice law.
He has decided TO leave public life and his
State. He Will remove to some large city,
where he hopes TO secure good practice.
While still comparatively young, Mr.
Johnson looks to the future and wishes to
establish himself and family. He does not
regret the time he spent in Congress- but
says he is too poor to remain in that body
No member has excited more comment
in the press and elsewhere than the ele-
giant and picturesque James Hamilton
Lewis of Washington. When he leaves
the House it will lose its most entertain
ing member While his speeches were
sometimes verbose and his language such
shower of words il was often difficult 10
follow the thought, his command of sar-
casm is unequaled by anyone in the pres
ent House, and when he took the floor he
carried the House with him by brilliant
satire. repartee, and jest.
Mr.. Lewis will more than likely be
heard Of again. His first election cost
him, he believes, the goyernorship of the
State, and the second the Senatorship. He
expects TO devote himself 10 the law. but
not TO abandon public life. He is
thorough Democrat and will support the
party in all campaigns. He says he hope.
