THIRTY YEARS IN SENATE.
Senator Allison Is the Oldest In Continuous
Service in the Body.
From the Washington Post

From the Wdshin0to Post.
Senator Allison entered the Senate in 1873.
and there is now no one member Of that
body who has served continuously as he
has done Stewart of Nevada was a mem
ber and John H. Mitchell Of Oregon took
his seat at the same time. Stewart was out
twelve years and Mitchell ten years. John P.
Jones of Nevada took his seat at the same time,
but closed thirty years of service last March.
There were some interesting figures in the
Senate when Allison took his seat there for
the first time. From the South there was
quite an array of the so-called carpet bag
Senators Among the we'll known parsonage
the new Iowa man met on the floor thirty

bassador to Mexico. and stephen W. Dorsey,

George F. Edmunds and Justin S. Morrill,,
Vermont: Henry j. Davis. West Virginia;
Matthew II. Carpenter. Wisconsin.
1t is quite a distinction to be the sole sur
vivor of an entire membership OF the Senate
While il lis true that there are two men mem
bers now who were there thirty years ago,
Senator Allison has seen them go and thei

the Joy Of poring over them before he goes
TO bed
The time which as Minis er he is obliged
to devote to attending levees, receptions
and other official functions, is sorely
grudged
Unlike most heads of departments Lman-
tour burdens himself with mass Of detail

This trait has brought his office up to q
wonderful pitch Of accuracy and efficiency
Limantour is a firm believer in the ma kim
that II man wants thing to be well done

life is hard grind all day long, and all the
year round.

efficiently as possible and with as little
display as may be. Men who know his
work admire him. but he leaves the masses
cold.
Bernardo Reyes is man of quite diff
ferent stamp. As Secretary of the Army
and Navy and as Governor of Nueva Leon
he has shown himself to be a sound and
clever administrator, especially anxious
to promote the investment of American
capital in Mexico; but, frs. and foremost,
he is the popular politician, the man of the
glad hand and the ready smile.
He is a distinguished soldier, who has
led the Mexican troops to victory again
and again. In Mexico. as in France. the
army is the idol Of the people and as its
chief representative, Reyes is the hero OF
the masses.
He ought to be President was the
verdict of another Mexican in this country,
with Limantour as the power behind the
throne. He would be fine figurehead
and would take good care to keep the
country at peace while Limantour did the
real hard work of finance and administra-

NEW IN MECHANICAL TOYS.

kenuity IN Playthinks.

Among the multitude of cheap mechani-
cal toys that are shown this season there
are many that are new.
OF course, there are many automobiles,
and then there is one toy having two fig
ures, the figure of lamb and that Of
little child When this toy is wound up
the lamb races along on wheels and the
child walks along beside it.
Another toy consists of a child working
little sewing machine.
An odd conceit consists of a woman carry
ing over one shoulder a hoe and rake.
while in the other hand she holds water
ing pot which she swings as she walks.
Still another of these toys represents
a woman ironing shirt which lies upon a
little table at which she stands.
Perhaps the most realistic one of all
is that representing boxer, who with
a boxing glove on each hand, swings his
arms around and over on either side alter
nately advancing as lie does 80 and his
body swayng from side to side with the
swing of his arms as he walks

ALL FAT MEN NOT LAZI.

The main acts OF the No, with their in
toned speech and total lack Of action. were
impossible for foreigner, unacquainted
with the language. to understand; but they
seemed to be a mixture OF the ancient
Greek drama and the old English morality
play. The writer was strongly reminded
of a performance of "Everyman,' which
she was fortunate to zee last year In
America.
There were the same lack of scenery and
the same intonation Of the speeches. The
costumes in the two performances. though
different, were noticeably more nearly
alike than is the present dress of the two
nations.
But what contrast in the audiences
enjoying the two plays! The one present
at the Japanese No was extremely inter-
esting.
In front of us were four old men, bald
headed, bent, types of the men Of old Japan,
quite unaffected by the changes OF the last
half century. Near them were several
small children in their bright colored XII
monos
There were many children present; none
of them cried, few went to sleep, and all
joined their elders in drinking cup after
cup Of nerve racking Japanese green tea
There was no conversation, the only sounds
heard from the audience being the contin-
uous tap tap of the little pipes on the to-
bacco boxes and the rustling Of paper as
some one turned page OF the necessary
book
As the performance was drawing to a
close, checks were surrendered and boys
disappeared bringing back shoes to their
owners. Everything was quiet and orderly

TEN GOVERNMENTS MAINTAIN 1T.
Our Contribution 10 the support OF an
African Lighthouse.


The estimates of the State Department

and stands on a cliff rising 500 feet above
the sea.
The Government of Morocco thought it
was very hardy treated when it was COM
PEELED to build this lighthouse. The other
Governments had requested Nor occo
to build it as an aid to navigation. but Mo-
rocco bluntly refused.
Diplomatic pressure was then brought
to bear, and the leading commercial nations
at length induced the Sultan to build
lighthouse at Cape Spartel. The contract
was given to a French firm, and the result
is fine and solid piece of stone work.
The lighthouse is noteworthy for the
Remarkable manner in which 1t is supported.
The agreement with Morocco was that il
the Sultan would build a lighthouse the
other nations would attend to its main
tenance.
Ten Governments. therefore, contribute
annually about $500 apiece, and this money
pays for the services of the lighthouse
keeper and his assistants and the oil and
other materials needed The Consus at
Tangier form the Board of Lighthouse
Supervisors and the Moroccan Govern
ment has nothing to do with the manage
ment.
Few lighthouses have so beautiful
location. 1t is the favorite picnic ground
of the European residents of Tangier.
From this elevation visitors may look
far out upon the ocean and see the entire
length Of the Strait of Gibraltar: and Cape
Trafalgar, where Nelson defeated the
French-Spanish feet in 1885, is plainly in
sight to the north.

1T is not well for Democrats
to calculate too much upon the
signs of revolt in the ranks of
the Republicans, because that
party has a commendable way
of getting together on election
day that might well be copied
by Democrats. Mudd will abuse
McComas, and McComas will
abuse Mudd, but they viii vote
the same way on election day.
Democrats are in good shape in
Maryland and if we all pull to-
gether there is no doubt that
we will elect Governor and
other State officers, as well as a
majority of the Legislature.
Every aspirant for office should
be willing to bow gracefully to
the will of the nominating con
vention of the party in County

there is another time, and the
way to make sure of party sup
