MUNYON'S INHALER CURES CATARRH.
where he remained for thirty years.
Yet his career was not more wonder
full than that of Carl Schurz, another
sterling newspaper man, who went to
the Senate from the same city. Schurz
was the editor of a newspaper that
welded much political influence among
the Germans in Missouri. His newspa-
per career, however, began in Ger
many, where he published revolu-
tionary journal prior to the uprising in
1S4S. For two years he was the Wash
ington correspondent of the New York
Tribune. 1t was while Charles A.
Dana was its managing editor. Later
on Schurz became the editor of the
Detroit Post. He succeeded John B.
Henderson as United States Senator
from Missouri. Mr.. Henderson is now
a resident of the city of Washington.
The successor of Schurz as Senator
was Francis NJ. Cockrell who still re-
tains the place. Carl Schurz has been
Secretary OF the Interior and Minister
to Spain. In the war for the Union he
attained the rank of brigadier general.
In the Senate at the side of Charles
Sumner he shone like star of the
first magnitude. He was the guest of
President Roosevelt at the dinner
given to Prince Henry of Prussia in
the White House, and was greeted
warmly by the prince. Another jour-
nalist from St. Louis who honored the
Senate was B. Gratz Brown, candidate
for Vice President on the Greeley
ticket in 1872. He was the editor of
the st. Louis Democrat when he en-
tered the Senate in 1860. Brown was
graduate of Yale College, but he lacked
the positive force of Schurz.
So much for the editors who left
their sanctums in st. Louis to adorn
the United States Senate. No city in
the Union has been SO highly honored
in it's editors. Two Pennsylvania edi-
tors have secured similar honors. The
first was William Bigler, at one time
Governor of the Keystone State. He
entered the Senate in 1856 For many
years Bigler was the editor of the
Clearfield Democrat. Treading close
upon his heels was another country
editor who was prominent figure for
more than half century. He was old
Simon Cameron, editor of the Doyles-
town Intelligencer, Abraham Lincoln's
first Secretary of War and afterwards
his minister to Russia. Before he
was of age Simon worked at the case
in Harrisburg and Washington. When
twenty-five years old he was running
newspaper in the state capital. He
was a senator, off and on, from 1915
to 1877, being the only United States
senator who has thrice resigned his
seat in that august body. On his third
resignation his son Don succeeded him.
-Four newspaper men from the South
have added brilliancy to the Senate.
The first was the renowned James H.
Hammond of South Carolina. He was
the last of the fire-eating senators from
that state. Hammond resigned on the
election of Lincoln. He had been the
Governor of the Palmetto State and
the editor of the Southern Times. A
second accomplished newspaper man
who threaded his way into the upper
branch of Congress was A. o. P.
Nicholson of Tennessee, for three years
editor of the Washington Daily Union.
The third, but by no means the least,
of the Southern editors was that ster-
ling presiding genius of the Augusta
Chronicle, Patrick Walsh, appointed
senator by Gov. William j. Northern of
Georgia, to succeed Alfred H. Colquitt
The fourth and most interesting South
Parson Brownlow of Tennessee. He
put the vim of the Knoxville Whig
into the senatorial proceedings and de-
lighted the hearts of the Tennessee
loyalists. Michigan has contributed
one newspaper man to the Senate, but
so long ago that he has nearly been
forgotten. He was John Norvell,
practical printer and for long time
editor of a newspaper in Philadelphia.
Norvell was one of the first
two senators from the Wolverine State
after her admission into the Union.
So much for the newspaper stars in
the Senate. The glowing record of the
past is still maintained. The average,
however, is hardly upheld in the lower
House It would appear that its
newspaper delegations is not as con-
spicuous to-day as their predecessors
in the past. 1t would be impossible
to match Horace Greeley, of the New
York Tribune; Henry j. Raymond of
the New York Times; Henry Waiter
son of the Louisville Courier-Journal;
James Brooks of the New York Elk
press; Charles Francis Adams of the
Boston Wing; Jcnn Letcher of the Val
ley Star, and Hugh S. Lagare of the
Southern Review, with anything on the
floor of the House to-day. And then
again in the later years we have had
William H. bdt lGlL W tiiI ACOoNOih NJ
vertiser; Jerry Simpson of the Bayo-

Post; Charles A. Boutelle of the Ban

Perkins of the Sioux City Journal
James j. Belden of the Syracuse Post;
Ben Wood of the New York News; An
son Herrick of fhe New York Atlas;
Charles c. Conn of the Washington
Times, and score of others more
easily matched. The men of to-day
seem to have made more of reputa-
ton as Congressman than as newspa-
per men. Here is. Charles B. Lands of
Indiana, once editor of the Logans-
port Journal He stands to-day among
the leading orators of the House. ana
has achieved national reputation
something that he never would have
done as a rural editor. Take John ii.
Small of North Carolina, editor of the
washington Gazette. and William w.
Kitchen of the Scotland Neck Demo
crat, in the same state. They are max
ing a mark in the House they failed 60
make as journalists. And near by IS
the sacerdotal figure of Robert ".
TAYLOR of Ohio. who was instrumental
in throwing a polygamous congress-
man out of the House. No one would
ever dreaw that he had been the editor
of the Buckeye State. And the Baon-
