Men Who HAVE Made Them selves Felt In
the Nations Government.

NAch w ho HhNp hAuS Ahoms6lVes IN
the Nations Government.
During the lifetime of the First Con-
gress, that which sat from 1889 to 1871,
Fice-President Adams cast votes on
even divisions in the Senate. Adams
impressed his personality to such de-
gree on the legislation in those two
years, in which the framework of the
government was laid on the lines on
which it has been run, in a consider
able degree, ever since that he welded
almost as much power as the president.
OF course, at the beginning of the
government, when there were only thir
teen states in the Union, and the Sen
ate was far smaller than it is now, ties
in the votes of its members were much
more frequent than they are today.
The vice-president nevertheless, as in
the case Of the tariff of 1886, which was
put on the statute book by Dallas's
casting vote, has often in later days
than those of Adams in that office had
a powerful influence ON legislation.
Moreover, the Difference which the
president and the leaders of his party
paid to the late Mr.. Hobart, and in the
influence which he was known to have
in devising and pushing legislation,
show that the vice-president, when he
Is the right sort of man, is power in
the government.
-Four vice-presidents-Tyle Fill
more, Johnson and Arthur-went to the
presidency on the death of their chief.
Three residents-Adams, Jeffer-
son, and Van Buren-were made presi-
dents subsequently by election. At the
beginning Of the government the office
of vice-president was looked upon as a
stepping stone to that of president.
The election to the second office aided
Adams and jefferson in getting the
first office. Van Buren,, who had been
governor OF New York (then, as now,
the first state of the Union), United
minister to London, deemed his election
as yice-president to be promotion.
His acceptance of that post unquestion-
ably cemented the friendship between
him and President Jackson, and did
much to make him Jacksons successor
four years later.
Some Of the leading statesmen of
their day have held the office of vice
president, among them, exclusive of
the seven men who have been men,
toned, being Clinton, Gerry, Calhoun,
Richard NJ. johnson, Breckenridge,
Hamlin, Colfax and Wilson. A recent
and distinguished governor of New
York-Levi P. Norton held that post
Many others accepted the candidacy
for the ottice-Everett, Pendleton, Lo-
gan and Thurman among the number
though they failed of election.
Hamilton said in the Federalist that
the vice-presdency would usually be
filled by characters preeminent for
ability and virtue" 1t was the inten-
tion of the trainers of the government
to make this office really second only
to that of president in dignity and pow
er. No man ought to get it, they be-
lieved, and no man would get it unless
he was of full presidential stature

The Baby Baboon.

The Baby Baboon.
There once was beautiful baby baboon
Who rode all around in red balloon.
He sighed and he sang and he scowled
and he sneezed,
And he prettily prattled whenever he
pleased.
He sailed as high
AS the summer sky,
And then he said, Il don't see why
l can't sail right up into the moon.
i think I'll start this afternoon;
With a strong south wind I'll get there
SOON"
And he did! That adventurous baby
balloon.

\ COSTLY ITEM.

For instance, one of the most costly
items in the Mckinley Bryan campaign
was the literary bureau. When this
innovation WAS proposed by Samuel j,
Fildcu in 1876 older politicians had moth
ing but ridicule for scheme that they
regarded Ms extremely QuiNotic- The
campaign OF 1876, however, established
the fact that Mr.. Tilden had been right
in his conclusion that there could be no
more powerful aid than the literary
bureau" and since that time il has be
come one of the most important features
in political work, the bill of the Repuh
lican party for printing alone In 1896

AS the organizations that managed the
campaigns OF 1896 were the most perfect
that had yet been effected, il is but
natural that one should refer To its work
when outlining the laborS that must be
accomplished by the organization of 1900
Prior TO 1896 ii had been the custom for
political parties To locate their head
quarters in New York. In that year
however, this custom was changed, and
both parties decided upon Chicago rs the
head centre from which the great pc
litical wires could best be laid.
Ii was unique innovation, but II
turned out 50 satisfactorily that the same
location will probably be selected this
year From these headquarters will eN-
tend wires, the influence e which will
b. felt in every hamlet in the United
States.
1t is difficult for the uninitiated t1 fully
appreciate the immense amount of work
that must be accomplished by the nation
al committee within an extremely short
time, Upon the adjournment Of the
convention practically nothing has been
done, but within few days AT the most
the wonderful machine must hc sci in
motion.
1t is the effort Of the committee to set
the citizens of the country thinking along
given lines aud to accomplish this there
are many things that must be done.
The country must be flooded with litera-
lure. not cheap. poorly printed dodgers,
but hooks and pamphlets written by the
braiuieSt men in the country. specialists
of the highest ability who have devoted
the best years of their lives to the study
of political subjects.

The situation hunter is gradually
becoming obsolete. The situation now
hunts the man.
The corn crop of the United States
WAS worth almost $50, 000, 600 more last
year than in 1895.
Cotton growers realized So, 900,
600 more money for their crop last
year than they did in 1895.

The Democratic is the only party
that makes II speciality of protecting
foreign interests at the expense of
American interests.
Farmers who grow flax should re
collect that the flax crop of the United
States was worth 100 per cent, more
money last year than in 1898.
Kansas City is the hub of the great
prosperity belt. The Kansas and Mis-
souri, farmers never We're 80 prosperous.
1t is not an ideal place for calamity
gathering.
The news from the West indicates
quite plainly that TINS is going to he n
bad year for the political party that
hourishes ON short crops and empty
dinner pals.
When people can afford to buy
potatoes the farmers gets better prices
for them. That is the reason why last
years potato crop was worth $4,000,
600 more than the potato crop of 1895.
The Democrats in the North Caro-

The average price of cattle on the
farm WAS 1896 per head ON January
|, 1897, just before President McKin-
ley WAS inaugurated. At the begin
ming of this year cattle were worth
S25 per head on the farm. The increase
in the last three years has been so per
cent. These figures are from the re-
ports of the Department of Agriculture,
and may be accepted as absolutely re
liable.

HOW A CAMPAIGN
IS MANAGED.
The Immense Amount of Detail Pre-
llmlnafy to the Great PreSi-
dehtill Elections.

The ordinary citizen who has little
knowledge Of political aifnrs has only
the vagucsl kind of an idea as to the
detail i'll the machinery of the manage
ment of IA Presidential campaign. For
some reason it has come to be supposed
that II Presidential election is a sponta-
neous outburst OF favor on the part of
the people, and ii is not improbable that
this description might have been applied
to elections half century or so ago.
or late years there has been a great
change in things political until today,
when the machinery that must be put
in motion before II campaign can be car
ried out is as complicated and as exact
in every detail as il the work to be
done was thai of great railroad system
II was not many years ago when
money was not rs necessary in the con
duet of n campaign as it Is to-day A
certain amount of money was, of course,
requisite, but beyond that nothing WAS
needed. and the chairman of committees
even twenty-five years ago would not
hive known how to get rid of the i'm

time would seem ridculously small to
campaign managers to-day.
Prior to the Lincoln campaign money
had received comparatively little atten
ton, but since that time II has entered
more and mere into politics. When the
first step was taken the way was opened
for scores of innovations and improve
ments in the political machinery that
little by little have brought II to its
present state Of comparative perfection,

II is the unexpected that hap
pens. " Last week we suggested in a
sarcastic vein that the Democrats might
soon be expected to pass resolutions OF
sympathy for China. Lol and beh old
it il reliably announced that Bryan
favors plank in the Democratic plat
form, eondemning the action of Presi-
dent Mckinley in sending troops to
China, without waiting for the action
of Congress in the matter! In the
meantime, we suppose, the Chinese are
to DO allowed to kill all the Americans
in China. Then, after all of them are
dead, and at the convenience of Con
gress, get up fight about the matter.
The Democrats are great on fighting
any dead" issue.
