SENATORIAL COURTESY.
TO Offend Against 1t Means Ruin to
the New Member.


Senatorial courtesy is the great
dragon which new members of the up
per house must propitiate before they
are received into the confidence of
their colleagues. Some members of
the senate, and there have been many
notable instances, who disregard ira
dition never gain the good will of the
great body in which they sit, and these
rarely serve but one term, their pres
ence during that term being tolerated
rather than enjoyed. The antipathy
felt for former senator by his asso-
ciates is still remembered. He sat
among them, occasionally he spoke to
empty seats, now and then he intro
duced bill, and he exercised his Off
cial functions for the whole period of
his term, but he was not of the SEN
ate. He was as distinctly outside as
though he did not occupy a seat in that
body. What did he do?" asked man
to whom his story had been told.
why should he be ostracized by his
colleagues" In his early days" re-
sponded the other member, The
affronted senatorial courtesy. He has
never been able to redeem himself.
The affairs of his constituents have
suffered from his unpopularity, and he
is deSerVedly retired"

THE "CHEROKEE STRIP"
speal<ership of the House Always Goes
with 1t.


with 1t.
The main Isle of the national house
OF representatives, as might be sup
posed divides that chamber into
halves, says the Youths Companion.
One side, on the speakers right, is
occupied by the Democrats, the other
side by the Republicans. Ii the two
parties had an equal number of mem
bers this arrangement would be COM
pete, bat as one party is usually larger
than the other few Of it's men have to
sit on the minority side. One would
at first suppose that each party would
begin at the extreme of it's side of the
house and fill in toward the middle,
the party that had q majority running
over the main aisle as much as was
necessary. But this is not the way it
Is done. Each party desires to hold
its position of parliamentary vantage
on the main aisle, and so the over
flow" of the majority have to go over
to the extreme seats on the minority
side. If the Democrats, for example.
should have 225 members Of house Of
800, about forty-fve Of their number
would take seats on the extreme left of
the speaker. In the present congress
a few Republicans are seated at the
speakers extreme right Whether it is
on the left or the right, the row OF
seats is called the Cherokee Strip"
and members who are so unfortunate
as to get into it speak of being over
in the strip And yet any party likes
to own this strip. The speakership Of
the house always goes with It,
