tected interests. These bills were denom-
mated by Rice Pierce of Tennessee, who
is gain a member of the house, as pop
gun tariff bills" The pledges made by
Crisp's friends did not extend for more
than one congress, for when he made
up the committees a second time Hol
man was tucked away as chairman of
Indian affairs, and Springer Telegated
to the head of banking and currency.
William L. Wilson became chairman OF
ways and means, and joe SayerS, now
governor of Texas. chairman of appro-
DriatonS.
OF all those named, Cannon is the best
known This is the third time he has
been in the race for the coveted place.
and the only time when there was a
good prospect of success. But for the Hi
nois action the second time he was can
didate he might then have succeeded It
was his own state that put him out of the
running before he had fairly got started.
He never stood a ghost of a chance in
the Fifty-frst congress; as the fight was
then between Reed and Mckinley. Can
non has served in the house since the
beginning of the FOrty-third congress,
with the exception of two years He was
buried with other leaders under the
avalanche of 1890, and was not one of the
handful of faithful that gathered around
Tom Reed in the Fifty-second congress.
But even without those two years he

also turned towards the senate. and twice
he has been a candidate before the Illi-
nois legislature These two successive de-
feats for the senate have reserved him
for the second highest office in the land
A story is told of how Jim Sherman
worried Uncle joe during the cam
paign Sherman had assured Cannon
that he was in the race, although he did
not intend to be a candidate They met
at a big Republican demonstration in
Illinois Sherman had been making an
extensive tour of the west. and it was
assumed that he had incidentally been
working up his boom.
Now, see here, Uncle joe said he,
lets have a friendly contest for the
speakership. I'll tell you the names of
the men who have pledged themselves to
me and YOU tell me who the fellows are
that are pledged to you, and then well
work on the balance
Cannon did not seem to accede to the
proposition. and Sherman opened a new
plan of attack

you got pledged that you can count or as

earnestly. Il haven't single pledge,

THE SPEAKERSHIP.
Some Interesting Past History
on Speakership Elections.

Washington D. c., Dec-5.-It has been
more than a dozen years since there was
a real contest for the speakershiD, and
there is considerable disappointment
that the speakership of the Fifty-eighth
congress was settled so speedily. II
would have put more life into the H\0rt
session of the F'ifty-seventh congress-
for the canvass for speaker. when there
is a contest, is an interesting feature
of a session which follows a congress
sional election There was no trouble
a about the number of starters in the race
and for time it looked as if the favor
lite sons of several states would be in It
long enough to at least get a compll-
mentary vote. but within two weeks aft
ter the election, the veteran from the
Sucker state, your Uncle Joe, the man
with the waving arms and vigorous
manner, in short. the Hon Joseph G.
Cannon of Danville, Eighteenth Illi-
nois district. was the choice of his party
and destined to preside over the next
congress.
The last contest was the most excit-
ing and prolonged that has been known
since the ante-bellum days, when eau
cuses failed to agree and Nathaniel P.
Banks was elected in 1856. After the
great Democratic landslide in 1890 the
Democrats had more than two-thirds OF
the house. Nearly half the membership
of the party were new and untried men.
They were also men who had no affilia-
lions with any of the members of their
party and were consequently not tea
up by promises or past associations.
The result was that when the session
convened in December it was anybodv's
fight. There were two prominent can
didates and three others who had small
hopes. Had John G. Carlisle remained
in the house he would have been elect 90
without opposition, but he had been
elected to the senate to succeed James
Beck. and he left a large hole in the
Democratic party of the house. The
leading candidates were Roger @. Mills,
of Texas. and Charles F. Crisp. of
Georgia. while William Hatch. of Mis-
souri,; William NJ. Springer, Of Illinois,
and William S. Holman, of Indiana,
were also in the race.
Mills had been chairman of the COM
mittee on ways and means under Car
Isle. and was author of the famous
Mills bill in 1883. He was the nominal
leader of the minority in the Fifty-first
congress after Carlisle went to the SEN
ate Crisp was a man who had won his
spurs in the Fifty-first congress by a
fortunate opportunity. but he showed
ability when his time came He was a
member of the committee on elections,
and had charge of the minority side in
the first contested election case taken
up This case was considered before the
house had adopted rules. and big Tom
Reed was running it under general

MRS. NATION SPEAKS.
Says She Is a Better Smasher
Now Than Ever.

Mrs. Nation. who returned to Topeka
Thursday from the east, spoke Thursday
evening for a short time at the hail of
the Salvation Army 3l2 Kansas avenue.
She had fair-sized audience and re-
spectful attention.
Gods Saloon" was the theme upon
which she talked, using the word saloon
in the sense of a place of pleasure rather
than a place where spirituous liquors
are dispensed. Speaking of the attitude
which she now maintains toward the
liquor element Mrs. Nation said: Il
am a better smasher right now than 1
ever was. But 1 say that the saloon
itself is the least of the causes of the
trouble. The man who runs it is not the
worst either, nor is the man who goes
in to drink 1t is the political party and
the government that are to blame. OH
that consDirator and traitor, the mayor
of this town; he is to blame. He ought
to have the filth thrown on him every
time he passes. I call these saloons
murder-mills. And with my experience
right now I know that from behind the
bar are being made the strongest pro-
hibitionists in the country"
The remainder of her talk was an ex-
hortation to those Of her hearers whom
she believed to be addicted to the liquor
habit to reform.

ured it out that the Ratchet has been
buried. but the knowing ones say that
Quay thought Pennsylvania ought TO have
the leadership and that DaIzell was the
best equipped man in the delegation for
the place The odd man was simply do
ing his customary act of reaching out"
1t is evident that Mr.. Littlefeld in be-
coming a candidate believed the house
He has not yet served two full terms and
his election would have been an innova-
ton But. more than that he has opposed
the majority OF his party on two important
propositions, the Porto Rican legislation
and Cuban reciprocity. Nor could he agree
with his party on the case of Roberts of
Utah, who was thrown out of the house
before he took his seat because he was a
polygamist But Eittlefeld has ability He
is man of commanding figure. with n
deep bass voice, is a fine lawyer. a fairly
good parliamentarian and entertains a be-
lief that Maine is entitled to The speaker

Republicans are in power.
No formal announcement was ever ma de
that other men would be in the race but
had there been a show for them, James
S. Sherman and Serene E. Payne of New
York might have been considered, and Jo-
seph w. Babcock of Wisconsin might
have allowed his name to go before the
caucus. His strength was in fact that he
has successfully managed five congress
ional campa igns. a record other man
can boast Theodore f. Burton of Ohio
who has made himself popular as chair
man of the river and harbor committee
might have had a good following if the
Cannon boom had not gone SO surprisingly
fast All the candidates and would-be can
didates no doubt realize now that destiny
had in store for Cannon the place he has
so long desired, and will accord him the
hearty support which generous rivals give
a successful man

that we could not have a contest for

ROW AT GRAVE SIDE.
The Minister Interfered and Put an
End to It.

Capac, Mich, Dec 5-While conduct
ing the funeral services of the 2-year-
old son of William Rupert at the ceme-
terry one mile south of town, local
undertaken and the sexton of the ceme-
terry got into a jangle and hot words
followed which soon developed into a
fight.
The undertaken started for the sex
ton, when the sexton drew a revolver.
The undertaken knocked it out of his
hands and grappled with him and held
him until Rev Harger, the minister in
charge stepped in and stopped the dis
graceful scene.
The undertaken and sexton fought
over the question whether it. was the
undertaker's business to bring the cof-
fin box into the cemetery. The under
ta1er had left it at the gate.
