A VARIED KNOWLEDGE.
Found Extremely Valuable at Times in
Shaping LEGISLATION.

The varied knowledge possessed by many
members of the Senate is extremely useful
In framing legislation on many occasions.
An instance of this arose recently when the
Senate committee the District of Column
bia was considering the proposition to al
low the construction of a tunnel along the
line of 1st street east to connect the tracks
ington with the proposed union station on
Massachusetts avenue. Senator Clark OF
Montana a member of that committee has
had very extensive experience in mining
operations and knows the various degrees
Of danger of cave-ins from different kinds
of soil. His experience has especially i'm
pressed him with the danger of moving
great bodies Of earth because of the power
of any conclusion either from blasting op-
erations Or from moving trains. When the
tunnel was discussed he at once called for
more Information concerning the nature of
the ground on which the library is con-
structed, and because Of the objections
urged by him the plan for locating the tun-
mel was changed SO that instead Of running
it under the middle of the street it is now
proposed to place it under the sidewalk on
the tunnel thirty-seven feet farther from
the library building than at first proposed,
although the first proposition is one that
the engineers all pronounce as perfectly
SAFE Senator Clark is still investigating
the matter of the tunnel, and 1t Is possible
that he may later suggest some additional
precaution to prevent the barest possibility
Of marring the beautiful building that has
cost the government about 100000.

HOOKED A WILD DUCK.
Hard Luck of a Senatorial Fisher

Speaking Of fishing said a member Of
the Congressional Fishing Club yesterday.
q am reminded of an incident connected
with a fishing trip Of grave and reverend
senior of the Senate. This senator, who is
dignity personified when engaged in his
senatorial duties, is a statesman among
statesmen. and all that, loves to get away
occasionally and wet a line as we say on
the upper Potomac.
1t would do your heart good to see our
solon attired in a pair of blue overalls.
hitched up close to his shoulders by real
old-fashioned 'galluses, an old SLOUGH hat
shading his classic brow and wearing a
smile of ineffabIe contenment and joy-for
he is at peace with all the world in such
moments.
He does not know much about still-fish-
ing that is fishing with live minnows from
an anchored boat. His speciality runs to
fly fishing and casting from a moving Ca
noe. Well one day in the fall We We're
fishing up above. anchored under the lee OF
a projecting point of land.
No, just watch me cast a mfRnow,
said the Solon, as he sent the bait WhiZZing
far out into the river. Hardly had the min
now struck the water until the line paid out
and the reel began to sing.
Its five FOUNDER cried the boatman,
let him run, senator, let him run Well,
then there was excitement. The reel kept
a-Sineing, the prettiest music in the world
to a fisherman. Finally the line was all
run out and much to the senator S surprise
the rod was pointing straight up in the air,
instead of toward the water. The old boat
man pretty nearly fell in fit into the bot
tom of the boat with laughter for there,
toward the blue empyrean SCARED a wild
duck with the senator's minnow.
Pull up, said the senator in disgust,
and let's go back to the club house. I'll
fish in the rain barl off the porch with Tn
Gle joe Cannon and Dave Henderson for
the rest of this trip ~

A PARAMOUNT" HANDLE.
Representative Cushman on the Demo-
cratic Issues.

Representative Cushman is the tall, lanky
specimen from the state of Washington. who
is now warming the seat that once was or
uamented by the irrepressible and incom-
parable Jas. Hamilton Lewis. A story of one
of Cushman's campaign speeches was told
by westerner recently sojourning in the
city. The democratic party in the state
CT Washington IVES trying to embarrass
Cushman in his campaign in the autumn of
$780, Cushman had started into the cam
paign making the issue on the money ques-
ton. in order to show that all the false
prophecies Of the democracy in 1896 and 1893
had miscarried. At one of Cushman's nigh:
meetings, when he had reached about 1916
pounds of steam pressure and was fairly
painting the rafterS with pictures of pros
perity and plenty under the gold standard,
some unbeliever in the back of the hall
cried out: How about imperiaiism-thats
the paramount issue?"
Cushman paused an instant for breath
and then faced the interrogation and said:
My friend. you and your friend Bryan
work the paramount issue like the fakir at
the circus works the shell game. Now you
see it-and now you don't see 1t. First you
preached free trade to the people as the
paramount issue ii 1890; then you preached
tariff for revenue and the repeal Of the
Mckinley tariff bill as the paramount issue
in 1892; then you preached free silver at
16 to / as the paramount issue in 1896, and
today you are preaching imperialism as the
paramount issue Of 1900.
Permit me to remark that this para
mount system, possesses one distinct adj
vantage over any other system of political
somersaulting ever before devised by the
ingenuity OF a platform acrobat, and that
is: You can drop o. change the issue as Of
ten as the exigencies Of the occasion re-
quire-but you always retain the para
mount
When was child I remember that I
sometimes watched my mother at the IRON
ing board. She had set OF three irons, but
there was one detachable handle that could
be used on all the irons. Whenever one
iroE got cold mother would detach the ham
ole and fasten 1t TO hot one. And the
democratic party of today, whenever II
finds one issue getting cold on its hands
1t detaches the paramount handle and at
taches 1t to q hot one"
It is needless to say. that Cushman got
the applause-and likewise the votes.
