From the Boston Transcript
We hear much of the members OF Con-
gress who are expected to go up higher
in public lfe-to advance TO greater hon
ors. Just as much has been heard in the
past Of those who have found the national
House of Representatives but a stepping
stone to greater and better things. But
little is known of the other side. There
are Just as many men who, honored by a
seat in the Congress Of the United States
henceforth go down steadily to a very OBJ
scure place in the world. Congress as
toboggan chute is quite as interesting as
Congress as a stepping stone. although
comparatively unheard of.
In the pension Office at Washington may
be found a former member of Congress
of considerable prominence, and still only
a middle aged man. who is now employed
as a copyist a $500 year, and'it is whis-
pered that he might not hold even this
place but for the sympa athletic interest Of
some OF his old associates. He did not
drop from Congress directly to this de-
clivty. having first been a high-salared
law clerk but was gradually denoted"
for what was regarded as a good and suf-
ficient reason until he has now reached
this place. He was once great factor
IN the politics of a Mississippi valley
state.
In the death a few days ago of former
CONGRESSMAN Clover OF Kansas. another
illustration is afforded. He came into
prominence through the Farmers Alliance,
and was a leading candidate for Governor.
Just failing in that. he was nominated and
elected to Congress, defea mig Bishop w.
Perkins. who was soon after appointed
to the United States Senate. But Glover
did not prove a great statesman, and was
soon forced into retirement. from which
he emerged few years later to announce
HE aba ndonment OF Populism and his re-
turn 10 the Republican party When the
Republicans came into power in Kansas
he was. after some delay, rewarded with
the position of farmer at one Of the state
reform schools for which his salary is
said to have been only $50 a month. Even
this he soon lost at the next overturn Of
politics. after which he drifted into the
hotel business IN small town and had
been practically forgotten when the news
Of his death recalled his strange career
