which will surpass marble in architec-.

The station will face directly toward
the dome of the capitol, and the entire
facade will be clearly visible from the
capitol steps at the end of the broad
avenue The architectural effects have
been drawn from the triumphal arches
of Rome. Sloping gently away from
the building will be plaza 500 feet wide
and 1900 feet long, adorned with balus-
trades and fountains, while there will
be a terrace 100 feet wide surrounding
the structure.
The station-itself will be $40 feet long
and from 60 to 120 feet in height. The
three entrance arches, each so feet in
height, will be on scale far surpass-
ing anything in Roman architecture.
The waiting-rooms will be dreams of
luxury compared with anything that has
ever before been suggested for rail-
way station, and the dining-room will
be equal to anything that can be found
in first-class hotel. There will be
all sorts OF unusual conveniences. One
of these, is an inyalid's room, easily ac-
cessible from the street.
Another is special entrance for the
president of the United States. Besides
there will be dressing rooms with baths
and Turkish bath and swimming pool.

ocrats will do, they feel morally bound
to do 1t.
That is what Uncle Joe Cannon calls
legislation by unanimous consent, and,
of course, it is very reprehensible way
of doing business. But it is likely to
continue just as long as the present
senate rules live, which, according to
present appearances, will be to the end
of time.
German and Aldrich are very much
the same type of men. They are first
of all business men. They understand
the currents of trade and appreciate the
effect of legislation on commercial in
terests. They are organizers and deft
handlers of men. They can read char
acter and they can keep their own coun-
sci. They understand weaknesses in
others to which they can appeal. They
are always in the game
German is more Of a public speaker
than Aldrich. He is not an orator in any
way, but he has faculty of aggressive.
ness in debate which Aldrich has never
shown. Aldrich when he talks uses
a conversational tone, and goes about
it as if he were explaining something
before the board of directors of a rail-
road. German is never exactly CONVEX
sational. There is always some little
touch of mystery in everything he says,
and his face is jesuitical in its inscruta-
bility. Aldrich, on the other hand, is
seemingly the most frank and confiding
of men. One wonders how it can be
that this smiling, easy-going, compan-
ionable fellow can have SO many tricks
up his sleeve.
